NOVEL WEB Chapter 197: Finally Levelling up !
"Drayken, you are finally here." Synthia slowly opened her eyes, and her gaze immediately fell on Drayken, who looked almost completely fine, without a single injury on his body. She heaved a sigh of relief as she slowly stood up from the ground:
'As long as he is fine.'
The moment she rose.
The Nine Rank Seven Dragons immediately bowed.
"Princess Synthia."
"Hmm," Synthia waved her hand, "You may raise your heads now."
"Thank you, Princess Synthia," the Nine said in unison, raising their heads.
Then, Eleanor asked, looking straight at Drayken:
"What is this place? Is it naturally formed, or did you create it artificially? If it's natural, was it a coincidence, or did you find it using something?"
Being bombarded with questions, he pushed Eleanor's face away, which was dangerously creeping toward him, and spoke in a stern voice:
"Please keep your distance first."
The shameless Eleanor didn't even blush when she heard this. Her eyes were firmly on him, and she didn't move a muscle, she wouldn't budge.
Drayken's brow twitched slightly in annoyance at her antics.
"Aww, are you scared?" Eleanor whispered teasingly, trying to pat his head.
Drayken quickly backed away and spoke with a frown:
"You will know how to make these things."
Then he pointed his hand forward.
Immediately, the mana gathered in front of him, accumulating bit by bit.
Then, right in front of the stunned eyes of every Rank Seven Dragon, a crystal domain formed, immediately gathering all the mana.
"Is… is that a Mana Core?" Eleanor spoke, her composure shattering like glass under a hammer.
As Rank Seven Dragons, they already had very fine control over mana, and their affinity was high, so their senses were extremely attuned to it.
It was almost as if they could see mana with their naked eyes, even though they couldn't literally see it.
Now, seeing a Mana Core, which was only supposed to exist inside the body, materialize outside, for a moment, they couldn't believe their senses.
Because from everything they knew, this was supposed to be impossible!
But now, Drayken had done it right in front of their eyes.
The implication of this ability alone was simply incredible, if an entire land could be covered by a Mana Core, then it would be possible to attract the mana of the entire world into a single region.
Just imagining it made their hearts tremble with disbelief.
How could they ever have imagined such a thing?
For a moment, there was complete and utter silence, before Duke Igris finally mustered the courage to speak. He opened his parched lips:
"H-How… how were you able to do it?"
"I did it when I awakened a special ability of my bloodline," Drayken casually lied through his teeth on the spot.
Well, he didn't really need to lie. They already knew he was from another world and had strange abilities, but it was better to explain it this way rather than getting into Titles and Skills.
"Prince Drayken, can you create multiple of them? Is there a restriction or something?" Igris asked, his voice trembling with disbelief.
"Yeah, I can create as many as you want. It costs a lot of mana, but I have quick recovery, so it's not a problem," Drayken mumbled.
"This could completely strengthen our entire Dragon race…"
Igris fell to his knees: "I might have had doubts until now, but I don't anymore."
He looked at Drayken firmly and banged his head on the ground.
"Please forgive me for any offense that I, this little one, may have caused, but please, do not hold any resentment toward the Dragon race."
Seeing a prideful Rank 7 Dragon bowing and banging his head, silence fell over the place.
"It's fine," Drayken grumbled. "However, we need to think about how we can retreat back to the Dragon Kingdom."
Hearing the main point from Drayken, everyone's expressions immediately changed.
They had killed three Telekinetic Grandmasters. Obviously, the humans would retaliate harshly once they tried to enter the Dragon Kingdom. And if they just stayed out, then how long could they really hide? If the humans conducted a thorough search…
They would eventually find them.
Drayken looked at the heavy silence and chuckled inwardly before speaking slowly:
"I might have a plan."
***
Eryke was traveling through a small village, simply looking around and enjoying the scenery when he suddenly paused, a glint flashing in his eyes.
A blue panel appeared in front of him with a simple message:
[Do you want to level up <Adapt> skill from Level 3 to 4 with one million destiny points?]
[Accept / Decline]
'Not bad,' he murmured in his heart, a flicker of light in his eyes as he accepted the price.
Immediately, a million Destiny Points vanished from the system and yet, he still had quite a bit left. Enough to go into another world.
Eryke could definitely travel to another world with the remaining points.
However, the clones were pretty much all preoccupied.
So… should he go?
For a moment, he considered it but he quickly shook his head. He would absolutely not risk his life to explore an unknown world.
The only reason he ended up in the Martial World was because he was the most familiar with it. Not to mention, if things came down to the wire, he could always rely on Gang Reyong, who was already very strong in this realm.
As he mulled it over, he curiously looked at the newly upgraded <Adapt> skill.
–
<Adapt> (Level 4)
The user can adapt to body, mind, soul, and physics.
–
There was only one word added to the simple description of the <Adapt> skill, physics which completely stunned him.
A million Destiny Points, and only one word had changed.
But that one word might be exactly what he needed.
The perfect skill to help Zarek adapt to Time and break free from its bindings. If he could do so, Zarek might gain a terrifying ability.
"Now it all depends on his capability," Eryke said, squinting his eyes.
