Chapter 452: A One-sided Choice

“What a loathsome fellow. He clearly is not friendly to the dragon race, yet he can obtain the dragons’ goodwill! This time, I alone will be enough to select a dragon.” Julius snorted coldly at Watson’s words and muttered unhappily.
Julius was born into a minor aristocratic family in the kingdom.
When he was young, his father had taught him that strength was not the most essential thing in the world, but hard work was. Because of his father’s teachings, he could not give up hard work even if he was not talented. As long as one worked hard, even the weak could eventually become strong one day. That had not changed after he became a Dragon Knight.
The thunder-clawed dragon that he had was very ordinary in a nest of dragons. It did not support his ability to become the vice-captain of the Dragon Knights. It was because of his remarkable hard work that the thunder-clawed dragon became so powerful.
Everything was because of him.
He would capture magical beasts for the thunder-clawed dragon every day and let the thunder-clawed dragon fight against powerful magical beasts. After the fight, he would also spray expensive potions on the thunder-clawed dragon’s wounds to increase the dragon’s recovery ability. Those potions often cost him a month’s salary. In addition to bringing the thunder-clawed dragon to fight against magical beasts, he would also set up a large number of training plans for the dragon every day, including crushing 100,000 stones with its claws, using his teeth to bite through 10,000 meters of steel plates, melting a mountain with flames, and so on.
He understood the most important reason for hard work, and so he forced the thunder-clawed dragon to constantly work in the direction he wanted, so that the thunder-clawed dragon became powerful. Some people might ask, why did he work so hard?
Was that not obvious? As a Dragon Knight, his main source of strength was the thunder-clawed dragon. As long as the thunder-clawed dragon became stronger, he would become stronger. The thunder-clawed dragon was one with him, so its hard work was his hard work.
The thunder-clawed dragon died because it had not completed the mission he had given it on time. Instead, it flew out of the territory of the Dragon Knights. It was unknown whether it was to find food or to relax. That was why Basher killed it as a wild giant dragon. The source of that tragedy was not only Watson’s fault but also the thunder-clawed dragon’s laziness. If the thunder-clawed dragon had listened to his orders properly, would that situation have happened?
‘This time, I must find a dragon that is stronger and harder-working than the thunder-clawed dragon, and then ascend to the peak of the Dragon Knights with it!’ Julius secretly clenched his fists and said it in his heart.
The death of the thunder-clawed dragon was not a bad thing for him. With the thunder-clawed Dragon’s hard work, it was enough to support him to become the Dragon Knights’ vice-captain. If he found a dragon who could work harder, he could still advance his status.
While Julius was deep in thought, Fafnir came to the two of them and waved to the sky, “Julius and Watson, I don’t need to set any restrictions on the dragons that you may choose! As long as the dragon agrees to go with you, then I won’t ask any questions. Of course, you can only choose one dragon.”
There was no need to make any concession for Watson. Without the talent of a Dragon Knight, it would be the same no matter what kind of dragon he chose. Fafnir only needed to fulfill her promise. As for Julius, she did not care. Julius could control the dragon fusion. The dragon he chose would be a dragon who could use that move.
“So, which dragon would you choose? I really can’t wait to see that.” Fafnir could not help but smile.
As soon as her voice fell, the roars of thousands of dragons instantly came from the sky. Those dragons circled in the air and looked down at Watson and Julius. They did not descend immediately, as if they were deciding on the differences between the two.
It was not just the dragons. Many of the students also whispered to each other as they looked at Watson and Julius.
“Julius, on the other hand, is a member of the Dragon Knights! Watson does not deserve to be a Dragon Knight, and he can’t perform the dragon fusion, so he might as well give the dragons to me instead.” Watson was left with a sour taste in his mouth when he heard that.
“You can’t say that. We would not have been able to come here and choose a dragon if Watson had not created a potion that satisfied the Dragon Clan. Instead, we must express our gratitude to Watson. We can provide him with a dragon! After all, even if Watson doesn’t want the dragon, he already has two dragons of his own, and I’m envious about that.” A nearby man shook his head.
Watson already had two dragons, as he had stated. If he desired another one, he would have three dragons. That was in stark contrast to those who did not have even one dragon.
“I am curious what kind of dragon Watson will get. He will undoubtedly receive one.” Lily stood in the crowd, teasing the shrunken dark magic dragon on her shoulder with her hand. “No matter what kind of dragon Watson gets, it will not be as good as my dark magic dragon,” she said nervously.
“Lily, don’t make light of it. My golden holy dragon can outperform your dragon.” Charlotte’s voice could be heard next to them, causing Lily to turn her head in displeasure. “What do you mean, Charlotte? Do you want to go toe-to-toe with me?”
“If you want to fight, we should fight. You think I’m afraid?”
Charlotte and Lily’s relationship was tense, and even the dragon on their shoulders was hostile to each other. A brawl appeared to be on the horizon. Christina, who was not far away, paid no attention to them. Instead, her gaze was drawn to Watson. A muscular man, the sword king mountain dragon, stood behind her and said, “Miss Christina, I can feel your concern! Please do not worry. Watson is a young man with a lot of power in his body. It is an undeniably appealing feature for dragons. I might have chosen him if I had not been so compatible with you, Miss Christina. I believe a large number of dragons will choose him.”
“I hope so,” Christina said hurriedly.
Julius, who was standing next to Watson, took an unexpected action. He whistled at the sky, lifted his right hand, and removed his golden armor. He threw it to the ground. His muscular body was riddled with scars that revealed his strong and manly muscles.
That scarred body was like a man’s medal. When combined with Julius’s attractive appearance, it caused quite a few girls to scream.
Julius appeared pleased with the reaction he had elicited. He spread his legs and lowered his body, pointing to a massive dragon in the sky. A massive earthen yellow dragon with a platinum-tier aura immediately flew down toward him. That massive dragon had a triangular head with three sharp dragon horns. When it landed, the ground shook.
Roar!
The giant dragon roared at Julius. The roar became a rolling sound wave that blew Julius’ hair and caused his face and muscles to ripple like waves.
Julius was unfazed by the scene. Instead, he charged upward, grabbed one of the dragon’s claws with both hands, and began a fierce battle with it. A layer of sky-blue water-elemental combat aura appeared on Julius’ body during this process, and lightning shot in all directions. Electric arcs wrapped around the earthen yellow dragon’s body, transforming into ropes that bound its wings, immobilizing it completely.
Meanwhile, Julius reached out with his hand and grabbed the lightning rope, yanking the earth-elemental dragon upward and smashing it to the ground, causing the dragon to wail in pain. He continued to throw the lightning rope before the dragon could react. He repeatedly smashed the dragon to the ground. Everyone’s faces were filled with shock when they saw that scene.
There were no moves or powerful combat aura fluctuations when fighting a dragon with the strength of a human. He was simply fighting the dragon with his strength. The crowd was dumbfounded.
“Get down.”
Julius had already pushed the earthen yellow dragon to the ground after only a few minutes of fighting. He stood tall above the dragon’s head, like a mighty dragon-slayer. He clenched his fist and looked around.
There was a commotion among the dragons in the sky. A few of the dragons retracted their wings and landed next to Julius, as if they were smitten with him.
Julius was an expert on dragons as he was a Dragon Knight. Dragons were a power-hungry race, and they were also proud. Only raw, untrained power could move them, just as he had done to the earth-elemental dragon beneath him. Dragons would not use magic if he used brute force. Otherwise, he would not be able to suppress the dragon with the power of a peak gold-tier elite.
He had attracted a sufficient number of dragons as a result of his outstanding performance. One of them piqued his interest; it was a purple dragon with lightning on its wings—it was a diamond-tier purple lightning dragon. It was very compatible with his characteristics. If he could gain the dragon’s favor and perform the dragon fusion flawlessly, he would have made a fortune.
The Dragon Knight Legion lacked a diamond-tier dragon. That was because the dragon race had paid little attention to the Dragon Knight Legion, only awarding them platinum-tier dragons. However, it seemed like he could be the first person in the Dragon Knight Legion to match with a diamond-tier dragon. With his extensive experience, he could easily become the captain of the Dragon Knight Legion in one fell swoop.
Julius approached the purple lightning dragon with flames in his eyes and touched the dragon’s body. The purple lightning dragon spread its wings as soon as he touched it, and dense purple lightning appeared on its wings. It wrapped itself around its entire body and blew a layer of fine purple hair between the scales on its neck.
“Dragon fusion, activate.”
Julius’ eyes flashed, and he activated the dragon fusion after sensing that the dragon only roared but had no intention of resisting him.
The purple lightning dragon’s massive body instantly transformed into bolts of lightning in response to his voice. Those lightning bolts gathered around Julius in an instant, forming lightning storms that concentrated on his body. Lightning-shaped patterns appeared on his body in an instant. Julius was half-naked, but scales sprouted from his upper body at that point. Each scale was wrapped in electric arcs, more than doubling his body size. At the same time, his hair took on the appearance of lightning, twisting and growing upwards. His eyes changed from yellow to that of a luminous color.
Julius appeared to be the reincarnation of the God of Thunder at the time, slowly floating into the sky. Lightning transformed into a cage, shattering the ground around him. The long tail on his back swung like the God of Thunder’s whip, carving deep ravines in the ground.
The transformation happened in a matter of seconds, but it was shocking. Julius landed on the ground shortly after releasing the dragon fusion. “Dragon King, I have chosen.” He bowed respectfully to Fafnir, his face filled with uncontrollable joy. “I would like to have that purple lightning dragon as my partner.”
“Are you sure you are not going to change your decision?”
“I am certain.”
Julius responded without hesitation. The purple lightning dragon was a far superior replacement for the thunder-clawed dragon. The thunder-clawed dragon could only use its claws to cover the invincible lightning, whereas the purple lightning dragon had even more powerful lightning flowing all over its body. They would undoubtedly be able to improve themselves with that dragon’s unwavering efforts.
Thinking about that, he could not help but notice Watson, who had been watching from the sidelines since the beginning. The corners of his mouth formed a cold arc. “Watson, why have you not left yet? Does this imply that they would want to pick you? Perhaps no dragon will choose you after my performance. Standing here is a waste of time. Why don’t you give this a pass?”
“What are you saying, you b*stard? Who said no dragon would choose Father? Am I not a dragon? Are there any powerful dragons?” The Golden Flash was no longer able to listen to that. He waved his fist at Julius while looking up at the sky. “Come down and be my father’s pet! There are not many chances to be my father’s pet. First come, first served. If you don’t understand that, you may live to regret it for the rest of your life.”
The dragons continued to hover as soon as the Golden Flash’s voice faded. None of them were easily defeated. The Golden Flash had used the word pet to describe them. Most of the dragons were comparable to Julius’ chosen dragon. Furthermore, Julius was an elite who could resist a dragon; he deserved their respect. Watson appeared frail. He was only about 12 or 13 years old. There was nothing else worthy of praise besides the powerful strength contained within his body.
The Golden Flash’s expression was bleak because no dragon reacted to his words. He rolled his eyes and reached into his arms for a piece of dried meat. The meat released a lot of energy fluctuations.
“I will ask once more. Is there a dragon who wants to be my father’s pet? If there is a willing dragon, this piece of meat will belong to that dragon.”
The Golden Flash shook the meat in his hand while Julius, beside him, sneered and almost laughed out loud. “Using meat to attract the dragons? That is the first time I have seen a contract with a dragon signed in such a manner! Please forgive my bluntness; the dragons are noble creatures, not dogs. It would be strange if you were able to attract the dragons in this manner. Hmm?”
A shadow flashed in front of Julius just as he was about to mock Watson. He saw a feathered dragon with a bird’s head appear next to the Golden Flash; it was a pillow-like dragon. It opened its mouth and bit into the meat.
The pillow-shaped dragon ripped the meat into its mouth with a bite. Its body swelled as if it had been inflated. It grew from the size of a pillow to a massive dragon a hundred meters wide. The feathers curled inside, revealing the delicate scales beneath.
The dragon’s head grew in size in tandem with its body. It changed from the shape of a bird to a dragon. Only its stomach was still covered in feathers. There was a large opening on its belly that looked like a pocket. It was made of feathers.
The sleeping bag dragons were platinum-tier dragons. They were thought to be a one-of-a-kind existence among the dragon race. That was because their skin was covered in scales on one side and feathers on the other. They were energy storage under normal circumstances. As a result, they would flip out the sleeping bag in the direction of their stomach and wrap their bodies in the feathers on the opposite side. It would only reveal its actual body when it felt excited. The feathers would reappear in the sleeping bag, showing the scales.
The sleeping bag dragon got its name from the fact that it slept in a sleeping bag.
The sleeping bag dragon roared a few times in excitement after eating the meat in the Golden Flash’s hand. Following that, its body shrank and returned to a fluffy pillow. It floated next to Watson’s ear and intimately rubbed against it, making him itchy.
“Watson, that sleeping bag dragon is a perfect match for me. You can choose another dragon because there are so many of them here. Please don’t take my dragon.”
Casey could not help himself. He rushed out after the sleeping bag dragon flew toward Watson.
Even if he were not happy with that sleeping bag dragon, it was still a dragon. Furthermore, when the sleeping bag dragon transformed into its true form, it displayed tremendous power. That greatly improved his opinion of the sleeping bag dragon.
“Don’t worry, I am not going to steal someone else’s dragon.”
Watson extended his hand and touched the sleeping bag dragon. His eyes were fixed on the sky. More than ten dragons had been circling and refusing to come down, but they immediately flew down when he raised his head. The number of dragons grew steadily.
“What is going on? What prompted those dragons to descend after Watson’s pet threw out a piece of meat? What was that meat?” Julius’ face was frowning because he could not comprehend the situation.
The majority of the students were also perplexed by the situation. At that moment, Fafnir slowly opened her mouth and said, “It was platinum-tier meat. The meat in the Golden Flash’s hand was platinum-tier magical beast meat.”
Was magical beast meat of the highest quality?
Many people had a look of understanding on their faces. It was no surprise that the dragons did not arrive right away, nor did they all arrive at the same time. They were greedy. They had no one to blame but themselves. After all, many of the dragons there were platinum-tier, and eating the meat of magical beasts of the same level was an excellent tonic for them. It has the potential to promote them to a higher level effectively.
“Father, am I powerful? I was able to get so many dragons for you all at once.” After many of the dragons were defeated, the Golden Flash took credit for them.
“You are extremely powerful. Excellent work.” Watson rubbed the Golden Flash’s head. Charcoal, who was standing at the side, became agitated. She gritted her teeth and smashed the space with her fist after giving it some thought. She drew a massive egg from the black void, which was ablaze with white holy flames.
The egg was approximately the size of a human head. Aside from the holy flames, it also had a Phoenix print on it.
“Any dragon that wants to be Father’s pet will get this Phoenix egg.”
As soon as she said that, the dragons circling Charcoal stopped and stared at the Phoenix egg. They let out a terrifying dragon roar. The dragons rushed toward, twisting into airborne balls.
Unfortunately, the sleeping bag dragon closest to Charcoal had already flown in front of the Phoenix Egg and swallowed it in one gulp before those dragons could land in front of it. The sleeping bag dragon, which had eaten the Phoenix egg, had reverted to its original form. Suddenly, its back sprouted a pair of Phoenix wings. Its aura had progressed from platinum-tier to peak platinum-tier.
The sleeping bag dragon had clearly awakened its Phoenix bloodline and evolved into a more powerful dragon after swallowing the Phoenix egg. Many dragons that did not manage to eat the egg roared and shrank in mid-air. They transformed into humans and landed around Watson.
“Sleeping Bag Dragon, you vile thief! You have already got a master. What are you doing here?”
“It’s fine if you ate the platinum-tier magical beast meat; spit out the Phoenix egg right away. Otherwise, we will kill you for a good meal.”
The dragons transformed into humans and gave the sleeping bag dragon the middle finger or uttered some venomous words, causing the sleeping bag dragon to revert to the form of a pillow and float toward Watson. The sleeping bag dragon’s transformed pillow was golden-red at the time, and its feathers were soft. It was giving off a faint warmth.
The dragons were not the only ones arguing. The Golden Flash and Charcoal, who were standing next to Watson, were also arguing.
“What is the matter, Charcoal? Why do you have a Phoenix egg in your possession? Those eggs were being guarded by Emperor Cluck as if they were treasures. I wanted to take it, but Emperor Cluck refused to give it to me. Why would Emperor Cluck give it to you?”
“Emperor Cluck didn’t give me one. I got one when Mount Creation opened a spatial portal and sent resources to the royal city! The Phoenix egg is said to have magical properties. It is possible to awaken one’s Phoenix bloodline by eating it. It is obvious that Father and the people on Mount Creation can eat it, but why can’t magical beasts eat it? Isn’t that unjust?”
“Charcoal, you stole the Phoenix egg! If Emperor Cluck finds out about it, you will be finished.”
“Can’t you just keep it a secret? I did it so Father could choose a better dragon. Emperor Cluck won’t hold it against me. Father, I helped you attract more dragons,” Charcoal said coquettishly as she hugged Watson’s hand. “Now, you are going to pat my head to reward me. I hope Father will pat me a little longer.”
“Charcoal, you are too cunning! Did you come up with this method to claim the credit? I will not participate in this. Do you think you are the only one who hid something while transporting the supplies?”
The Golden Flash snorted. He reached his hand outward, and a magic staff with a diamond luster appeared in his hand.
“This is the Crystal World Tree Staff. It is a diamond-tier weapon. This weapon will be yours if you choose to be Father’s pet.”
That weapon had become entangled in his scales while he was transporting the goods. Gerant and Lubin did not notice it because they were transporting a large number of items. It was handy to use it then.
“I would like to have it. I would gladly be Young Master Watson’s pet.” A platinum-tier dragon in human form approached Watson and hurriedly said that.
“I arrived first. You should go with me.” Another platinum-tier dragon squeezed through the crowd.
“No, I am more powerful than they are. Choose me.”
Many dragons trailed close behind, refusing to be outdone. They spoke one after the other, their eyes twinkling like stars.
If they had not chosen Watson because they did not want to be Watson’s pet and because of their dignity, they would have changed their minds at that point. They would be able to eat platinum-tier magical beast meat and Phoenix eggs if they became Watson’s pet. They would also have diamond-tier weapons. So what if they end up as a pet?
They would not have to worry about food and drink if they became the pet of such a wealthy individual. It was far superior to matching with a poor Dragon Knight. Was dignity worth that? What was it worth?
When the Golden Flash pulled out the diamond-tier staff, nearly half of the dragons in the sky transformed into human forms and appeared in front of Watson.
“No need to fight over it,” Golden Flash said, showing off the diamond-tier staff in his hand. “Father has the right to choose his dragon. I will only give this staff to the chosen one. Oh, I still have a lot of similar weapons.”
The Golden Flash shook his head. Many diamond-tier weapons fell from his sparkling clothes onto the surface of his golden body. There were sabers, swords, shields, and long spears among the weapons. They were all gleaming with a brilliant luster. There had to be a hundred of them. It was a spectacular sight.
When he slept on Mount Creation, those weapons were usually lodged in his body. After all, dragons were a treasure-hunting species. Furthermore, he enjoyed sleeping on piles of treasure, which resulted in many weapons hidden in his scales.
“I have 100 diamond-tier weapons. This is shocking!”
If the staff that the Golden Flash had shown did not cause the dragons to go insane, the dragons were finally mad.
“You have over 100 diamond-tier weapons! You are pretty good at hiding, aren’t you? Since that is the case, I will no longer conceal it.” Charcoal snorted. She opened her mouth and reached for a sharp tooth. A ball of green liquid grew out of the tooth. It had a strong aura of life, making everyone who smelled it shudder.
“I hid water from the Spring of Life in the gap between my teeth, and now I want to give it to my father’s new pet.”
“Water from the Spring of Life? Oh, look at the vibrant aura of life that thing emits. That is, without a doubt, water from the Spring of Life. But isn’t that something that can only be found in the Elven Kingdom? The dragons are a powerful species. We would not take it from the Elven Kingdom even if we had the chance. Why would such precious water be on the body of a wild dragon?”
“Why does it matter? We just need to make sure it is water from the Spring of Life, right? I want to be Watson’s pet for the sake of that water. Don’t blame me for being impolite if you dare to take it from me.”
“I am a diamond-tier dragon, and I said nothing. Why are you so self-assured when you are only a platinum-tier dragon? In any case, there is only one requirement to become Watson’s pet. At most, we can get into a fight. Are you afraid?”
If the diamond-tier items that the Golden Flash pulled out had caused half of the dragons to go insane, then all of the dragons had gone mad after seeing the water from the Spring of Life, including those who already had a master.
“Please accept my apologies, Master. I feel like I need to be with a better master.”
“My dear master, you deserve a better dragon. Let’s say our goodbyes here.”
The dragons left their masters and approached Watson. Many students frowned and cursed angrily.
“Julius, you are a human worthy of the dragon race’s respect. I might have become your partner if it had not been for Watson! For the time being, please accept my apologies. You should go find a new partner.”
The purple lightning dragon’s body squirmed and transformed into a young man with long purple hair. He gave Julius an apologetic look before flying toward Watson, leaving Julius, who was fuming with rage, behind.
“Watson, you cretin!”
Julius’ eyes were filled with flames. He clenched his fists tightly. He gritted his teeth so hard that he almost crushed them. It was not easy for him to get the dragon he wanted, but that dragon had fled thanks to Watson. Nothing was more humiliating than that. He had just made fun of Watson for not having a dragon. He felt a burning pain in his cheek that the situation had been reversed.
“Everyone, back away from Watson right now.”
“I believe you are a strong-willed dragon, Storm Dragon. Watson will not be able to enchant you! As long as you promise not to become Watson’s pet, I will use all of my pocket money to buy you food when I return. If you want to go somewhere to play, I will take you there as well, okay?”
“Fire Dragon, we have been together for more than ten years and have a strong bond. Our relationship will undoubtedly outlast those material possessions. Am I correct?”
Even the veteran Dragon Knights became concerned as the dragons surrounded Watson. Some began to play the emotional card, while others wished they could remove all valuable items from their bodies in order to prevent the dragon from changing their masters.
Olena, who was standing next to Fafnir, took a step forward, but Rem pulled her back.
Ram asked, “Olena, what are you doing?” She had a dangerous look in her eyes.
“Be Watson’s pet! Do not worry, Rem; I am confident of my victory. After all, I am a diamond-tier dragon who also serves as Lady Fafnir’s companion. I have a better chance than anyone else here to win it.”
Rem said, “Wait, what? Why do you want to be Watson’s pet? You are Lady Fafnir’s companion, not a common dragon. Wouldn’t it be a disgrace for the dragons if you also became Watson’s pet?”
“What is the big deal? Watson even drew water from the Spring of Life for us. Rem, that is water from the Spring of Life. You can gain eternal life if you take it. Can you resist the lure of eternal life?” Olena was taken aback. Ram paused, and her face was flushed. She wanted to drink from the Spring of Life as well, but she could not overcome the obstacle in her heart.
“In a nutshell, we can’t. We are Fafnir’s subordinates. We are forbidden to do anything beyond Lady Fafnir’s order. It is an affront to our Lady! Olena, your willpower is still lacking. Lady Fafnir hasn’t said anything yet. It is obvious that she has resisted Watson’s temptation.”
Rem noticed Olena’s strange expression as she spoke seriously. Her expression changed as a result of this. She shifted her gaze to the side. She noticed that Fafnir was staring intently at the water from the Spring of Life. She did not say anything, but she looked like she was drooling.
“Looks like Lady Fafnir thinks the same way. Has everyone gone mad?”
Ram’s expression was ugly and a little sad.
Everyone had become like that because they had been confronted with the temptation—the water from the Spring of Life. Where was the dragon’s sovereignty? Where was the prestige of being a member of the elite?
Just as she was about to say something, the Golden Flash muttered in the distance, and her words drifted into her ears, “It is a shame that there is only water from the Spring of Life here. No dragon should be able to resist the temptation of a platinum-tier potion created by my master with water from the Spring of Life, like the Blessings of the Gods and Demons! After all, that potion can transform a person into a platinum-tier angel, and they can also remove the curse of inability to improve one’s strength after drinking from the Spring of Life. Even though I lack the Blessings of the Gods and Demons, I can promise to provide one for the dragon that becomes my father’s pet.”
Could a potion that could turn a person into a platinum-tier angel also completely eliminate the Spring of Life’s side effects?
Ram’s heart was pounding. She took a deep breath and began walking toward Watson. “There is no longer any need to make a decision. I will be your pet. As Lady Fafnir’s companion for many years, I am well acquainted with the position of a pet. No one is more qualified for that position than I am.”
When confronted with the chaotic voices of thousands of dragons, Watson felt a headache and quickly reached out his hand. “Please, everyone, keep your voices down! Lady Fafnir has requested that I only choose one dragon. Even though everyone here is very supportive, I must apologize. I will just pick one randomly.”
Watson pointed casually, his eyes closed. “Do not worry; you will be fine.”
When Watson opened his eyes, he realized his finger was pointing at an old man known as the Long-armed Dragon, whose hands were dragon heads and whose face was human, and whom he had seen when he first arrived at the Dragon Lair.
“I am victorious. Watson had chosen me. Thank you, Dragon God, for this good fortune.” The elderly man emerged from the crowd, looking around with delight.
“D*mn it, he had chosen Long-armed Dragon. Obviously, anyone else is superior to him.”
“Among platinum-tier dragons, the long-armed dragons are regarded as the weakest. After all, he only has one arm. Furthermore, he is quite old. He will most likely die soon. Allowing such a man to receive benefits is a waste of time.”
“I would not choose him if I were you. He is proud and has no idea how to contribute to the dragon race. He is also very bothersome. Lady Fafnir would have let him manage the dragon race if it had not been for his brain. No one here would even look at him.”
The long-armed dragon’s expression changed. The happiness on his face faded, and he became hesitant as he said, “Their words make sense. At my age, it is not appropriate for me to be someone else’s pet. Young Master Watson, why don’t you go with someone else?”
The words of his fellow dragons pricked his heart. He had to go against his will to live within the clan.
“There is no reason to do that. I can choose whomever I want. Since I chose you, it proves that we are fated!” Watson was also aware of the conversations going on around him. Those words only elicited a contemptuous smile from him. “Furthermore, strength and age mean nothing to me. Whatever kind of dragon you were in the past, you will be an important companion to me now that you have followed me. I will assist you in becoming stronger!”
Watson reached out with his hand and took control of the hundreds of diamond-tier weapons that the Golden Flash had dropped to the ground with a wind-elemental spell.
“Fusion system, activate!”
[Congratulations on successfully fusing a large number of diamond-tier weapons, Master. You have obtained a starlight-tier weapon, the Spear of the Stars.]
[Starlight-tier weapon: the Spear of the Stars]
[Abilities: this spear is made up of two different colored spears, red and blue. Red Spear (pierces the enemy’s back and causes bleeding, causing irreparable wounds), Yellow Spear (ignores the enemy’s defense and causes direct damage to the enemy), Spear of the Stars (releases two spears at the same time, causing a powerful attack that can pierce through the stars), Absolute Distance (the spear will not have a distance limit during the throw), Absolute Hit (the attack will definitely hit).]
[Additional abilities: Kingdom of Blood (one will bleed to death within the divine kingdom), Kingdom of Armor Penetration (any contact within the divine kingdom will cause damage to the enemy).]
Following Watson’s actions, over a hundred diamond-tier weapons merged to form a red and yellow spear that flashed with the colors of the stars. The spear’s tip glowed, and just looking at it made one’s heart go numb. They had pierced through the illusion, and there was a swarm of stars surrounding the two spears.
“This is a starlight-tier weapon, Long-armed Dragon. I have never been stingy with my friends. This weapon is yours now that you have become my companion, and it will not be the only gift I will give you.”
A starlight-tier weapon?
After hearing Watson’s words, everyone in the room looked at it in disbelief. They focused their attention on the two spears. Watson had created a starlight-tier weapon with just a wave of his hands. The Dragon Clan only had some diamond-tier weapons and not a single starlight-tier weapon.
When they saw the stars revolving around the spears with a terrifying aura that could pierce through everything, they knew that the two spears in front of them were starlight-tier weapons.. That divine artifact contained the power of the gods.
