Chapter 1177: Quasi-King Grade Weaponsmith
In the grey dwarf world,
‘Roar’
A heaven-defying roar resounded in a certain place that shook quarters of the grey dwarf world.
The roar belonged to none other than the divine destructive twilight dragon and it took only a couple of hours for the divine dragon to return to its peak state.
The credit would of course go to the mid-level silver demon king’s corpse that Ajax gave to the divine dragon.
‘Finally, he is back to normal.’
Only after seeing the excited divine dragon in front of him, Ajax was able to heave a sigh of relief as he asked the dragon, “How is it? Do you want to form an official contract with an elemental spirit?”
‘Of course.’
The divine dragon was excited to form an official contract with his first elemental spirit.
“However, you have to wait for some time as there is no elemental spirit world connected to this grey dwarf world.”
But Ajax’s words made the divine dragon’s excitement disappear into thin air.
“I will wait.”
Other than waiting, the divine dragon could do nothing for now.
“Don’t worry, it won’t take long before we will be invading the Undead bronze demon king’s world. At that time, you can enter the elemental spirit world, connect to that world and shake it entirely.”
Earlier, while the divine dragon was eating, Ajax was thinking about a plan to save the entire elemental spirit world that was under the control of the Undead bronze demon king.
And he felt Twilight will be of great use to him as he could also enter the elemental spirit world in his spirit consciousness form because he is an official summoner now.
Unlike humans, the divine dragons will not have any trouble in forming a contract with the elemental spirits because they were famous enough for everyone to accept a divine dragon as their master without much convincing.
“I am waiting for that day to come sooner.”
When he heard that, the divine dragon excitedly nodded his head.
“However, before that, I want you to think about whether you want to remain in the spirit beast form forever or you want to re-cultivate.”
Other than thinking about saving the elemental spirit world, Ajax also thought about how powerful the divine dragon will become if he re-cultivated into a human.
A couple of months back, the divine dragon who was not a divine dragon yet, awakened a re-cultivation technique from his ancestral memories; however, back then, the dragon didn’t want to re-cultivate to become a human.
However, Ajax hoped that during all this time, Twilight must have changed his thoughts.
‘…’
The divine dragon didn’t answer Ajax’s question as he fell into his own thoughts thinking about the re-cultivation technique he had awakened back then.
“Just imagine, if you re-cultivate, you will become even more powerful in the same realm and not only that, you will also receive a re-cultivated artifact or weapon.”
Seeing that the divine dragon didn’t speak, Ajax said his thoughts and left the decision for the divine dragon to make.
“Think about it and I hope you won’t regret whatever decision you make today. Speaking of re-cultivation, I need to help my other contracted spirit beasts with it.”
Soon, Ajax remembered about the re-cultivation technique and other items that could help his contracted spirit beasts become more powerful.
Because the divine dragon was injured until now, he stayed with it to make the divine dragon feel that he was not alone; however, the divine dragon is completely healed and more powerful than before.
So, he wanted to focus on other things.
‘Swoosh’
After saying that, Ajax summoned his ancient protector sword and flew away while calling all his contracted spirit beasts to gather in front of the protector castle.
‘I think all the grey dwarves must have finished their enlightenment by now, right?’
Since it’s been more than four or five hours since he left the protector castle, Ajax was not worried that he would be disturbing the grey dwarves.
As for the divine dragon, he was still standing in the crater thinking about Ajax’s words.
…
In front of the protector’s castle.
Within no time, Ajax had reached the protector castle and saw the grey dwarves were still surrounding the protector castle.
However, unlike before, all the grey dwarves were currently standing as though they were waiting for Ajax to come.
Behind these grey dwarves, all the contracted spirit beasts except for the divine dragon were standing and waiting for Ajax just like the grey dwarves.
‘Swoosh’
“Protector”
Seeing Ajax flying on his ancient protector swords, all the grey dwarves became excited as they hurriedly greeted him with faces full of respect.
“Hello, everyone. I see everyone in high spirits today. Is it because of the world upgrade and the enlightenment you gained from the world core?”
With a slight smile on his face, Ajax greeted all the grey dwarves as he asked them.
“We are excited for both.”
The old dwarf advisor represented the entire grey dwarves in the world as he continued speaking, “However, there was another thing we are more excited about compared to the two earlier things.”
“And what that might be?”
Ajax was surprised because he didn’t know there was a third reason for the grey dwarves to be excited and asked him with a curious look on his face.
“It is you, protector. We are excited and feel lucky to have you as our protector.”
The old dwarf replied with a respectful look on his face along with a serious look because he didn’t want Ajax to think he was saying just because he wanted to be in the good books of Ajax.
“Haha”
Hearing that answer, Ajax could not help but laugh out loud as he replied, “Likewise. I am happy to be a protector of this world.”
“Thank you, Protector.”
“Thank you, Protector.”
The old advisor thanked Ajax when he heard Ajax’s words and followed by the old advisor, the rest of the grey dwarves did the same.
“Okay, okay, okay.”
Ajax nodded his head as he looked at the grey dwarves before asking, “So, can you tell me is there anyone who became a King realm weaponsmith after receiving the enlightenment?”
That was the main thing Ajax wanted to know. So, he asked them about it.
“…”
There was complete silence as no grey dwarf came forward, making Ajax slightly frown.
“Sorry to inform you this protector; however, there was no king grade weaponsmith in the earlier enlightenment process.”
As usual, the old grey dwarf advisor Tunmil represented all the grey dwarves as he continued to reply, “However, there are 101 quasi-king grade weaponsmiths. As long as they train harder, becoming a King grade weaponsmith in a decade or so is possible.”
“101 quasi-king grade weaponsmiths?”
Ajax was surprised when he heard there were that many quasi-king grade weaponsmiths in this world now.
Quasi-king grade weaponsmith is a grade that was very close to the King grade; however, it was lacking something to be an actual King grade.
As long as these quasi-king grade weaponsmiths found out what it was, becoming a King grade weaponsmith was not impossible.
