“You need that much desperation in order to make it come true,” Tang Shaoyang nodded, “I am not asking for your life, but I have one condition.”

Areth clenched his fist tighter. Even though he said willing to do anything, it still made him nervous to hear the condition. For someone as strong as Sir Tang, the thing Sir Tang wanted from him might be more precious than his life.

“If you succeed in getting your revenge, you have to work for me for a hundred years!”

Rosalie frowned as it was the same as giving the Dragon Essence for free. Then she glanced at her friend, letting out a sigh secretly. He did this for Zowen more than anything else. This would really put Zowen into an awkward situation if he did not give the second Dragon Essence to Areth.

Areth was confused for a moment. He mentioned that he was willing to be a slave, which was more beneficial to Sir Tang than merely working for a hundred years. Being a slave was no different than giving his life to Sir Tang, yet the condition was merely working for the empire for a hundred years. A hundred years was nothing for him who managed to break the System’s chain. With his current vitality, he could easily pass the hundred years mark, let alone if he became stronger.

The teenager realized that Sir Tang merely wanted to help him for his vengeance. He realized that Sir Tang was kinder than he thought for someone who held so much power in his hand.

Areth knelt, planting his face to the ground, “I will dedicate my life to the empire not just for a hundred years but for my entire life!”

“That should be enough. Drink the essence, we will be leaving soon.” Tang Shaoyang waved his hand, urging the boy to drink the essence.

Areth stood up and took the vial. He took a long breath, preparing his mental for what he would go through. He had witnessed Sister Zowen, and he needed to endure the same painful experience for at least an hour. Closing his eyes, he chugged the whole red liquid into his throat.

As soon as the liquid touched his tongue, he felt the heat from it. The heat went through to his throat and then to his chest. At first, he clutched his neck as he felt his throat burning. But it was nothing when the burning sensation rose up in his chest. It was not just extremely hot, but also awfully painful. It was as if his heart was being hammered, extremely painful, and also hard to breathe.

Areth’s tanned skin soon turned red as his skin released smoke. A few seconds later, the boy let out a blaring scream.

“GARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!” “AAAAARGGGGHHHHH!!!”

“This is different,” Rosalie muttered as she took a few steps back from Areth. This was totally different from what Zowen went through.

Zowen started to look worried, glancing at her friend, but Rosalie shrugged as she knew nothing. She did not dare to look at Tang Shaoyang, and the only thing she could do was wait and pray for him.

“It’s much more intense. He may awaken a stronger bloodline than you, Zowen. Or maybe he will succeed in awakening the Dragon Bloodline.” Tang Shaoyang commented from the side, unconcerned with the end result.

The scream filled the room and the entire village. No one bothered them as there were no more villagers alive.

Not just Areth went through a different process, but it took longer for Areth to finish the bloodline awakening. It took a total of three hours. By the time it ended, Areth’s clothes were soaking wet from the sweat. His voice was gone from screaming non-stop for three hours.

The teenager opened his eyes, breathing roughly as he felt an ache all over his body. That was the worst pain he ever felt in his life. It was more painful than getting hit by the Steeer’s tail, especially in his chest. Stabilizing his breath, he looked at the transparent screen in front of his eyes. The screen told him what kind of bloodline he awakened.

“So, what do you get, boy?” Tang Shaoyang asked directly about the thing he was curious about the most. Not even asking if the boy was fine.

“F-Fire Drake King. I awa… awakened Fire Drake King bloodline…” Areth replied with his hoarse voice. He did not what I meant, but he could tell it was a stronger bloodline than Sister Zowen’s bloodline.

Tang Shaoyang was quite disappointed because it was not a Dragon Bloodline. However, that was a good sign that Areth also awakened Drake Bloodline, stronger than Zowen’s bloodline. It meant the Mistovel Family mixed the Dragon Essence with Drake Essence only. Two out of two Dragon Essences, awakened Drake Bloodline, meaning the remaining eighty percent was Drake Bloodline. Of course, he might be wrong but this was still a good thing. Drake Bloodline was still better than most.

“We will be leaving for the foggy mountain,” Tang Shaoyang stood up, announcing they would be leaving soon even. Then he glanced at the boy, “Can you walk?”

Areth tried to stand up, but his body was weak. He did not have the energy to sit, let alone support himself to stand.

“We have delayed our trips for four hours or even more because of the Mistovel Family. My skeleton will carry you with me.”

Not long after that, Kaiser entered the house and picked up the boy. No one in the house protested the schedule, and they departed to the foggy mountain.

By the time the group arrived at the foggy mountain, the dwarf welcomed the greet with a smile. Chief Hulgem and the ten elders then led them into the mountain. Chief Hulgem led the group to his residence, and there Tang Shaoyang told them he would have a big team to escort them to Starter City #4. He told them to be ready to leave their mountain, and the news was welcomed with a smile, meaning Tang Shaoyang remained true to the promise to bring the dwarf out of the tower.

Chief Hulgem and the Elders left the house with a smile, and could not wait to give their people the good news.

After that, Tang Shaoyang turned toward Zowen, Rosalie, and Areth, “You three will leave with them as well.”
