416 A Trip to the Von Stein Family
“Husband, are you sure you want to go there alone?” Jane asked, cuddling Arthur’s head.
“Yes. You two need to focus on reaching rank four. You are close, right? After that, we can fight side-by-side against the other rank four mages. Before that, it is too dangerous!”
Arthur wanted to have his wives near him, but he would confront two rank-four mages, and both Wisa and Jane were almost reaching rank-four, but they weren’t quite there yet. So it would be best if he went to the Von Stein family alone.
“We should focus on our training, Jane. After reaching rank four, we will have enough power to fight against anything on this planet!”
After a brief conversation, it was settled. Arthur would be the only one leaving, and Jane and Wisa would stay inside the dragon valley — one of the safest places in the entire continent — focusing on their training, trying their best to reach rank four as fast as possible before the big war started.
“Now let me check my stats,” thought Arthur.
[Name: Arthur Willians]
[Bloodline: Dragon (Legendary Placidusax), Monlog Giant]
[Rank: Official Mage (4)]
[Level: 150]
[Health: 140000/140000]
[Mana: 0/0]
[Spiritual Force: 400]
Attributes:
[Strength: 1014]
[Agility: 939]
[Vigor: 934]
[Wisdom: 1178]
[Charm: 936]
[Free points: 235]
Each of his attributes had increased by 300 points after he reached rank four! Not only that, but he still had some free points to use, and with his Spiritual Force higher, all of his spells were way stronger!
Also, the moment Arthur leveled up to the next rank, he could within his bloodlines strengthen themselves, and that would only bring him even more benefits, benefits he still had to find out!
“I am feeling good! My power will increase even more after I merge with my avatar, and I will have two of the Forbidden Eyes, and the one with my avatar is awesome to use while fighting!”
Before leaving, Arthur said goodbyes to his wives, giving them hugs and kisses, but he also warned the other dragons and dwarves about what he would do. No one complained about it; they all knew the war was inevitable.
“Stay safe, husband.”
“You too.”
For the first time in a long time, Arthur left the dragon mountains, and surprisingly, those adventurers who were seeking the inheritance a long time ago were still nearby, hiding, waiting for the chance to speak with one of the dragons. Yet, they never left until Arthur did!
He flew in his human form for about 500 km before seeing the first town in the distance, but before he could even reach it, some adventurers came flying from the nearby area, stopping right in front of him.
Some wore robes and had staffs in their hands, while others had weapons like swords, bows, and axes. It was like a party of an RPG, and Arthur could not wait to see what they would do.
“Stop right there, dragon! We know that you possess something that should not be yours, so please, give it to us without a fight!” one of them said.
Arthur gazed at each of them, and when their eyes made contact with his, they trembled with fear. Those adventurers were rank-three mages. Not a weak party, of course, and they could do almost anything in the demon continent, but facing Arthur was not one of those things.
If he were still at rank three, perhaps there would be problems facing that many at the same time — there were around 14 adventurers in front of him — but now that he was at rank four? There was no way they would pose any threat to him at all.
He looked at them and said, “are you trying to stop me with only this party? What non-sense. Also, I don’t have this thing you are talking about.”
“Nonsense? You might be a dragon, meaning you are way more powerful than the average, but we are fourteen adventurers versus only one dragon. How can you win against us?”
Arthur laughed out loud and said to the person that had just spoken, presumably the leader of the party, “only one dragon? How can I win against all of you? Well, what about being at rank four?”
Before the adventurers had time to react, Arthur spread his aura, and they could barely breathe! It was rare for anyone to feel the aura of a rank four mage, as they usually kept quiet inside their territory, but the aura of a rank four dragon? That was something they had only heard in legends!
If the dragons still had their past strength, they would indeed be ruling not only the demon continent but all the other continents, but that was not the case anymore. The dragon had lost most of their kind after the gods attacked, and although a few of them survived, their powers weren’t the same, and all of their techniques had been lost.
But after Arthur returned with the identity of Placidusax, the once lord of the dragons, all the dragons recovered their will to get stronger and reclaim what belonged to them.
The adventurers, ready to pick up a fight with Arthur, bowed before him after feeling his aura, showing their respect for someone who was way more powerful than them.
“Y-You reached rank four! The first dragon to do so in ages! T-This will change the entire continent!”
They weren’t fools. A new powerhouse coming into play, especially it being from the dragon race, would shake the entire continent, and now that almost everyone was against the Von Stein family, who were mistreating others, especially the humans who they saw as cattle, they wished the dragons to make those vampires learn their place.
“Impressive, right? So, as I told you, I don’t have the inheritance anymore. Can I go, or will you try something against me?” Arthur said, crossing his arms in front of that group of adventurers as if he was saying, ‘dare to try something.’
“N-No, of course, you can go. We are so sorry to bother you. If you wish anything, you can come to the Adventurers Guild and speak with our master. She will gladly help you with anything you want.”
pA(nD)A no ve1 “She? Who is she?” Arthur asked.
He had never heard about the leader of the Adventurers Guild, as it was not only in the demon continent but in all the others too! Although Arthur was sure the leader of one in the demon continent was not the same, each continent had its own rules.
“We don’t know how she looks, but we know she is powerful! I will try to send her a message about you. If you excuse us, I will not take more of your time.”
Arthur was curious about the mysterious leader of the huge Adventurers Guild, but he would look for that after he paid his visit to the Von Stein family.
Nothing would stand in his way, and there was no way the Von Stein family would leave the battle unharmed. They were not only harming the other races, but they had done something personal to him, and for that, they would pay with their lives!
“Sybille, my love, I am coming for you!”
