Chapter 282: Velmira Embershade From Nine-Tailed Fox Race
Ren stopped releasing his aura and asked, "So, how is it? Do you think I have the qualification to dream big?"
Hyzi laughed loudly. "Yes! You have that qualification!"
Even as a 4-star magical beast, he was still intimidated by Ren's aura.
That meant Ren was already at 5-star or above.
Ren was of the dragon race, so following him was nothing to be ashamed of.
And moreover, Ren had promised a future full of excitement and adventure, so from his point of view, it was a good deal.
"I'm willing to be your follower, but…" Hyzi spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "If you can't give me exciting adventures, I will leave immediately."
"Sure." Ren agreed instantly.
"Oh, one more thing." Hyzi raised his right index finger. "If you become weaker than me, I will also leave you."
"I don't mind. If you're stronger than me, I'm even willing to be your subordinate. But believing you can surpass me is like climbing to heaven. After all, I'm a genius dragon." Ren had already accepted his new body, so he saw himself as a dragon.
"Haha." Hyzi laughed loudly. "So, what are we going to do now?"
"Let's go to the other regions. I want to recruit the other kings to be my underlings as well." Ren answered. "After that, we will build a place for us to stand in the Vlizica continent."
"I like that idea!" Hyzi responded.
Then, they traveled to other regions.
Like before, Ren managed to recruit them easily.
Fyre followed him because he got beaten up by Ren.
Zareth followed him because he lost in the running match.
As for Halvrik, he followed him because he liked Ren's ambition.
Ren traveled to the inner region of Framingburns Forest without a single follower, but now, he commanded fifty thousand magical beasts.
Four of them were at 4-star.
Five hundred were at 3-star while the rest ranked between 1-star and 2-star.
Of course, this was still not enough to face Misty Palace, but he didn't mind it because he would recruit more subordinates.
"Boss, what are we going to do now? Should we attack Misty Palace immediately?" Fyre inquired.
Unlike Hyzi and the others, who called Ren leader, Fyre called him boss.
And even though he was the only one who got beaten up by Ren, he was not angry or holding a grudge.
Fyre saw himself as a warrior, and he respected the strong.
That was why he was willing to become Ren's underling because Ren was stronger than him.
"Our strength is not enough to face Misty Palace." Ren responded, "Let's go to the central region and recruit more magical beasts. With this, our possibility to win the war will be higher."
"That's a great idea!" Hyzi stated.
After traveling for two days, they finally reached the central region. Contrary to their previous expectations, the central region already had a ruler.
But what surprised them most was that the ruler of the central region was a woman.
Her name was Velmira Embershade.
Velmira was from the nine-tailed fox race.
Unlike Hyzi and the others, she was already at 5-star.
In other words, she was as strong as Ren.
Of course, Ren was not afraid of her.
Instead, he wanted to recruit her even more because having a 5-star magical beast as a follower would greatly help him achieve his goal.
As Ren headed to her base with four of his strongest subordinates, Velmira was lying sideways on the main seat.
Her demi-human form was that of an attractive mature woman with long, icy lavender hair and dark grey eyes.
Behind her, nine snow-white tails swayed lazily as she absentmindedly twirled a strand of her hair between her fingers.
Velmira wasn't just an attractive mature woman, but she was also the embodiment of seduction.
Her figure was so alluring that even if her beautiful face were hidden, she could still effortlessly captivate and seduce any man with just the sway of her hips or the curve of her body.
Yet despite her flawless, irresistibly seductive figure, Velmira had no partner because her power stirred more fear than desire in the hearts of magical beasts.
"Hmm?" Velmira shifted her gaze when two women stepped into the main hall.
Even though they were not as beautiful and seductive as her, they still belonged in the category of dream women because their appearance alone was enough to stir desire, spark fantasies, and steal the attention of any man in any place.
Their names were Azelira Silvarien and Xavienna Velaris.
The demi-human form of Azelira was that of a beautiful lady with long blue hair and emerald eyes, while Xavienna appeared as a graceful maiden with green hair and golden eyes.
Like Hyzi and the others, both Azelira and Xavienna were 4-star magical beasts.
Azelira was from the butterfly race, while Xavienna was from the peacock race. The duo were Velmira's trusted subordinates and had been with her for one hundred years.
So, it could be said they knew Velmira well because they had spent many long years traveling with her.
"My Queen, five magical beasts are requesting an audience with you," Azelira said. "Their leader is a dragon."
Velmira raised an eyebrow as she twirled a strand of her hair between her fingers.
'A dragon?'
Her pink lips curled into a slow, playful smile.
"Bring them in." Velmira commanded.
While Azelira left the main hall to bring in Ren and the others, Xavienna stood on Velmira's right side.
She didn't accompany her because Azelira alone was more than capable of handling the task.
"In your opinion, why has he come to see me?" Velmira asked.
"My Queen, the four magical beasts accompanying him are the kings of other regions. So, my assumption is that he intends to make you his follower as well." Actually, Xavienna was startled when she saw Hyzi and the others, but she said nothing because their decision to follow him had nothing to do with her.
"Oh?" Velmira responded with mild surprise.
'Then, this is going to be interesting.'
She suddenly could not wait to meet Ren and the others.
Shortly after that, Azelira returned with Ren and his subordinates.
Despite the presence of a dragon, Velmira didn't bother to sit upright and remained lying sideways.
She didn't see herself as anything inferior to him, so she acted as she pleased.
As Ren's gaze fell on Velmira's seductive figure, his heart beat fast for a moment.
It would be a lie to say he was not charmed by her alluring figure and beautiful face because seeing her was like gazing upon a goddess of seduction.
However, he could still control himself because he was used to seeing attractive women whose charm was just as captivating as hers.
"Silver Dragon, why are you still in your beast form? Are you planning to intimidate me right now?" Velmira indirectly told him to turn into his demi-human form.
"A damn human did something to my body several days ago. Ever since then, I haven't been able to transform into my demi-human form." Ren blended truth with a lie because he could not tell them that he was a human before.
Hyzi and the others instantly turned to him.
'He can't transform into his demi-human form?'
Actually, they had been curious about this for some time because he had always stayed in his beast form ever since they met him.
Now, they finally knew the answer.
It was because he could not shift into his demi-human form!
'Wait!'
They remembered his first goal.
'Is this the reason why he wants to attack Misty Palace?'
A question popped up in their minds.
"I see." Velmira replied. "So, what brings you to my place?"
"Velmira, be my follower!" Ren went straight to the point.
