517 Chapter 517 Turning to Undead
“You’re not that impressive,” Tom said to the dragon.
The warrior’s expression turned bitter after he heard that. The dragon did not seem impressive because the boy had only fought it for a few hours. It did not have the chance to reveal all of its power yet.
A luxurious convoy came approaching from the distance. There were about 9,000 carriages in the group, but they did not seem to be lead by one noble family because there were all kinds of flags and insignia on the carriage.
The convoy stopped nearby, and a bunch of guards and men and women with luxurious clothes stepped out. They were amazed at what they saw. A magical dragon right in front of their eyes!
They had actually seen the battle from the distance, but they could not believe that thousands of golems actually had the strength of a low Diamond Rank.
Recruiting low Diamond Rank wasn’t easy. One had to be extremely wealthy, influential, and had a wide network of connection.
Generally, only noble family that had survived for thousands of years could recruit a large number of low Diamond Rank. New nobles could only hire a bunch, and their loyalty were often questionable.
“Wait, the magical dragon is still alive!”
After careful look, they realized that the magical dragon was still up and breathing. Earlier, they thought the magical dragon died when it crashed to the ground.
“But why is it bowing to that boy over there?”
“Is the magical dragon surrendering?”
“Impossible! There is no magical dragon that ever submitted itself to another being.”
One hundred Engineer Robot came out of the trucks, scoured the land for broken robots and mechanical parts and then signaled the trucks to activate its magnets.
The magnet activated and all of the broken parts were pulled nearby. After the parts began to piled up, the engineering robots began to work, fixing the broken robots that could still be fixed and destroyed those that could not.
A few thousands robots flickered and came back to life. They gathered in a formation like a true undying soldier.
“So many golems…”
Tom averted his gaze to the side. “Who are you people?”
The nobles clasped their hand and bowed slightly. “We are students and about to go to Withokere University.”
Tom frowned and activated his godly eyes. Most of them were very young, from around the age of 18 to 22, and they all were at low Diamond Rank.
There were some low Diamond Rank magicians and even six mid Diamond Rank magicians hiding in the carriages.
The rest were Platinum Rank warriors.
“I am actually going there myself,” Tom said.
They were slightly shocked after hearing that.
“Are you a student as well?”
“I just got enrolled.”
“May we know from which family you are coming from? I have never seen a low Diamond Rank as young as you.”
“Family? My dad conquered the Waralia County with his golem army. He has made an agreement with the king of this land, and now the territory is his to rule. Add to that, I am also offered to become a student in Withokere University.”
“So you are his son?”
“I can’t believe we actually encounter his son in this wilderness.”
“My father is new around here, but all of you seem to have heard of him.”
“How could we not. Your father killed a noble, took his land, eradicated his army, and even make peace with the king. What your father did was an invasion and yet you are accepted into this kingdom. That was simply an impossible thing to do. But looking at you now, it’s no wonder that the Conquerer of the West is accepted into this kingdom.”
“Conquerer of the West? Is that what they call my father?”
“That’s right.”
Tom thought that it wasn’t a terrible name, but it didn’t sound cool enough. Looking at his golems and mechanical robots, he thought of something.
‘Maybe I should make my golems looked like they were made out of steel as well. That way, people would call him Commander of Steel or Steel Emperor.
Tom nodded with a smile at the thought of that. With a snap of his fingers, the golem began absorbing some of the mechanical parts, and now they looked metallic on the surface.
“My father does not like that name,” Tom said. “From now on, you will address him as Steel Emperor.”
“Steel Emperor…” the nobles looked at each other. “O…okay.”
“And what is your name?”
“Just call me Tom.”
A noble approached and introduced himself. “The Steel Emperor’s golems are truly amazing. Who would have thought that you could even conquer a magical dragon with it. It is simply inconceivable. Even though it was only a low Diamond Rank magical dragon, it’s strength could even match against mid Diamond Rank magician.”
“I heard Diamond Rank warriors could defeat it though,” Tom said.
“Only the bravest and talented of Diamond Rank warriors could defeat it. Entering the Diamond Rank was simply the entry point.”
“I see.” Tom snapped his finger and suddenly, a warrior appeared in front of him.
The warrior was shocked the he suddenly got teleported to this place. He quickly reacted, but the space around him froze and he could not move.
“You are a Diamond Rank warrior. Be my subordinate,” Tom said.
The other nobles were yet surprised again. They were just talking about a Diamond Rank warrior, and suddenly one appeared out of nowhere.

“Of course, I am not like other magicians who are too afraid of you. I even have a magical dragon as my pet, what can a Diamond Rank warrior do to me?”
The warrior blinked for a few times and thought that it was true. The magical dragon was hundred if not thousand times more dangerous for magician.
If Tom could even conquer the dragon to submission, then a warrior was simply nothing for him.
“But you already have thousands of powerful golems. Why would you need me?”
“I like rare things. Your existence, just like the magical dragon, are quite rare.”
“I… I see. In that case, can I ask what my payment will be?”
“Resources, knowledge, weapons.”
“In that case, I agree. I am Edam Maheim will be your subordinate.”
Tom nodded before glancing at the magical dragon. “Zastor, I will kill you now and revive you as my undead. Once you become my undead, you will truly be immortal, and your growth in strength will be much easier.”
“Yes, master.”
Tom teleported on the dragon’s back, Phantom Doomblade appeared in his hand, and then he swing.
SLASH!
The nobles and everyone else widened their eyes when they saw this.
Suddenly, shadow engulfed the dead magical dragon. A few seconds later, a glowing dark purple creature stepped out. It was the same magical dragon, but now in his undead form, looking bigger and more menacing than before.
“Did he just turn the magical dragon into his undead…”
“I cannot believe it. To turn a Diamond Rank into an undead, a great amount of rituals and treasures need to be sacrifices! How did he do this???”
“I have to inform my family. The Steel Emperor and his son must not be our enemy. Ever!”
