“Thank you, Young Master Watson. I mean, thank you, Master.”
Long-armed Dragon was overjoyed with Watson’s gift. Its gaze was fixed on the two starlight-tier spears, and it could not move. It also did not take the initiative to seize the two spears.
“You don’t have to be so courteous to me. I told you, I have never been stingy when it comes to my companions. In my opinion, you are not my servant, but rather someone who will soon become my companion.”
As he spoke, Watson extended his right hand, and a book with a faint luster appeared in his hand. It seemed to hold everything. The book was sealed with golden chains, and when it was opened, the words were revealed to be glowing with starlight. It was the Book of Wisdom, the highest starlight-tier tool Watson had fused in the Great Library.
“Long-armed Dragon, the weapon you obtained will allow you to press forward in the offense. However, simply attacking is insufficient. Now I will give you a second gift to help you with your ability to use the spear of stars. This will serve as your shield, protecting you from damage in battle.”
Watson flipped through the book in his hand as he spoke. Images of dragons emerged from the Book of Wisdom as he flipped it. Those dragons were historical figures whose exploits were either written down or adapted into fairy tales. Many of those present recognized them the moment they appeared.
“Look at that three-headed black dragon. It resembles the three-headed demonic dragon that the kingdom previously killed; it used to commit evil acts within the kingdom’s borders!” A Royal Academy student pointed to the top of his head. The massive dragon, which had three ferocious heads, cried out in surprise.
A dragon that had transformed into a human nearby looked at another dragon made of white bones. “That should be the ghostly fire skeleton dragon that caused the calamity of the Tudor dynasty in legends,” he said, his eyes burning with ghostly fire. “An ancient necromancer was said to have created that dragon. It was a well-known dragon from the Tudor dynasty. I did not expect it to show up here! Is it a magical projection or are we hallucinating?”
Everyone looked up at the dozen or so dragons that appeared above their heads. They were unsure whether what they saw in front of them was a real dragon or an illusion for a brief moment.
Watson had already extended his right hand toward the dragons in the sky, much to everyone’s surprise.
“Fusion system, activate.”
[Congratulations, Master, on successfully fusing so many dragons. You have obtained a starlight-tier God-armed Dragon.]
Following the sound of the system notification, the dragon phantom above Watson’s head dissipated and transformed into a distorted light of various colors, quickly covering the body of the long-armed dragon not far away.
The long-armed dragon, which had only two arms in the shape of a dragon’s head and looked almost identical to the old man before the light covered it, changed. His arms abruptly separated from his original position. His initial human-shaped body melted quickly, and scales sprouted from the light. His old face also transformed into the head of a massive dragon, converting him from a human to a dragon in an instant.
The long-armed dragon’s body continued to expand after transforming into a dragon, from the size of an ordinary person to a length of several hundred meters. Many of the dragons and students were taken aback by the scene.
The transformation process took only a few seconds. The long-armed dragon’s shape had already appeared in front of everyone at that point after the transformation.
The first was a colossal dragon with a golden body and a beard-like mane around its mouth. The giant golden dragon’s wings were 500 meters long, and it had nine long horns of varying lengths on its head. However, those were not the strangest things. The most unusual feature was a massive black hole on the dragon’s left and right sides that connected to an unknown space. There were 100-meter-long blue and red arms outside the black hole.
It was unknown what the arms were made of, but they were wrapped in a blue and red phantom image. They resembled the arms of the previous dragon, but they were far more powerful than the dragon heads that were used to make the arms. Those two thick arms resembled the hands of a descended god from the divine realm. Perhaps if those two arms waved lightly, they could even destroy a small mountain.
[Peak diamond-tier dragon: God-arm Dragon]
[Abilities: Giant God’s Arm (by controlling the god’s arm, it can cause large-scale damage. The arm has a hardness comparable to a starlight-tier weapon. It can be divided into two forms, red and blue), Absolute Growth (the ability contained in the blue arm can increase its size by countless times. The growth rate is related to one’s energy. After the growth, one’s strength and defense will be strengthened), and Absolute Strength (the power contained in the red arm has the strongest force in the world).]
[Additional abilities: Divine Kingdom of Great Strength (release the divine kingdom formed by countless arms; the great power will crush enemies within the divine kingdom), Giant God Weapon (the combination of red and blue arms can create an unlimited power weapon).]
Watson nodded in satisfaction as the information appeared in his eyes after the long-armed dragon evolved. “It is a little better than I expected to be able to advance to the peak of the diamond level. It should be called the Long-armed Dragon God, not only the God-arm Dragon. It already has the strength to compete with the Dragon King. ”
Due to the characteristics of its race, the dragon race had strength comparable to the starlight-tier of other races at the peak of the diamond tier. In other words, even though the God-arm Dragon had reached the peak of diamond-tier, it was not inferior to a true god.
“God-arm Dragon, this is the last of my gifts. Are you pleased with it?”
“I am very pleased, Master.”
When confronted with Watson’s question, the God-arm Dragon’s massive body shrank quickly and returned to its human form. The God-arm Dragon’s human appearance had changed dramatically from its previous appearance at that point. Even though he still had an old man’s face, he had aged significantly. His hair had also turned a gleaming silver-gray color. Most notably, He had human arms. Above his human arms, on the other hand, were two illusory little hands made of energy, one red and one blue. They appeared to be very magical.
“It is great that you are happy. Oh, I see! I have not asked your name, God-armed Dragon,” Watson said.
Dragons, in addition to the name of their species, had their own names. Generally speaking, dragons used to call each other by their species. They would only use their names when they were close or had more than one dragon species that were the same.
Watson’s previous dragons had all been fused with wild magical beasts, so he needed to name them. He could skip the naming process because the dragon in front of him had belonged to the dragon race.
“My name is Sebastian, Master,” the God-arm Dragon bowed and replied respectfully to Watson.
“Sebastian sounds like a butler’s name. You will be my butler from now on. You are responsible for looking after my daily needs and completing the tasks I assigned to you.”
“Of course, Master.”
The expressions of the surrounding dragons and students became increasingly shocked as Watson spoke to Sebastian.
“What did Watson do?”
“Not only did he create the two starlight-tier spears, but he also summoned a swarm of dragons and allowed them to transform into light to cover the arm dragon’s body. The long-armed dragon changed after being covered by the light! I recall that the long-armed dragon was originally only platinum-tier, but it now gives me a sense of oppression that I only feel when confronted by Dragon Kings like Fafnir. Can Watson help the dragons evolve?”
The dragons were even more surprised than the students. If seeing Watson choose the long-armed dragon had made them envious, they were clearly regretting it after that. They would not have rejected the rewards mentioned by the Golden Flash and Charcoal if they had known Watson could help them evolve. The fact that they could evolve was enough to convince them to be Watson’s pet.
They could not say anything then because it was too late.
“Lady Fafnir, the dragon selection process is done. May I leave now?” There was complete silence at the scene. There were not many people who spoke, but there were massive waves of emotion coursing through everyone’s hearts. Watson was the first to break the silence.
Fafnir, clearly taken aback by his words, regained her composure and looked him in the eyes. “Indeed, the Dragon Knight’s recruitment process is now completed. King Landhar III requires the services of 90 recruits. Now, I can’t keep you in the Dragon Lair indefinitely. It is time to say goodbye.”
Fafnir waved her hand as she spoke. “Bring your human masters as well as other Royal Academy students back to the royal city.”
“Is it too late, Dragon King, for me to retract my words? I do not want to be led by my master any longer. I would like to be Watson’s pet.”
“Me too. Watson is not a Dragon Knight, despite the Dragon Clan’s rule that a dragon can only be paired with a Dragon Knight. Is being his pet a violation of the rule?”
“I wouldn’t have been in such a rush to choose a master if I had known that a human named Watson was so monstrous. Who would have known that I’d overlooked? I wish I could go back in time.”
When the dragons heard Fafnir’s words, many dragons in human form sighed and looked up at the sky. Some even pounded their chests, their eyes bloodshot.
The Golden Flash and Charcoal exchanged glances and saw pride in each other’s eyes.
“As one would expect from Father, his methods are still as effective as before, if not more so! Previously, if Father wanted to fuse magical beasts, he had to capture a large number of low-tier magical beasts from the surrounding area and fuse them. Now, he only needs to take out a book to summon whatever he desires from it. That book is extremely useful. When I get the chance, I will also ask Father to summon a few dragons so that I can fuse with them and gain more strength,” the Golden Flash muttered to herself.
Charcoal was thinking the same thing.
She was preoccupied with something else. “Father’s new pet appears to be very old and dependable. It is unlikely to compete for Father’s favor with the Golden Flash or me. I will be at ease as long as I can ensure that I am the first in Father’s heart among all the magical beasts that have been fused.”
“Do not even think about it. A group of dragons wanted to be Watson’s pets? Have you no shame? Even though Watson can’t use the Dragon Fusion, he is still a Dragon Knight in name. He can’t control more than one dragon,” Rem said.
That was similar to the kingdom’s rule stating that non-nobles could only have one wife. Otherwise, they would be committing the heinous crime of bigamy. Each person had their own dragon. That was crucial to the dragons.
“Why don’t we talk to King Landhar III about stripping Watson of his Dragon Knight status? Watson will not break the rules if he is not a Dragon Knight.” Fafnir interrupted Rem’s conversation at a leisurely pace, causing Rem to turn her head in rage. “Lady Fafnir!”
Even in these dire circumstances, she considered defending the Dragon Clan’s honor. Fafnir, on the other hand, was looking for loopholes in the rules. Was she still a Dragon King? Fafnir coughed in response to her angry stare, and her expression became solemn. “Rem is correct. The Dragon Clan and the Kingdom have had an agreement since ancient times. You will not have a chance because Watson has chosen Long-arm Dragon as his companion.”
Fafnir’s words shattered the dragons’ last shred of hope, causing them to sigh one after the other.
“Thank you for your assistance in the Dragon Knights’ recruitment, Lady Fafnir. We shall leave now because we have classes later.”
Unlike the dragons, the students’ lips twitched after Fafnir finished speaking. They approached their dragons, either with incentives or with harsh attitudes, ready to take those dragons away.
What a farce! They just witnessed Watson’s ability to upgrade his weapon and dragons’ capabilities. It was already a harsh surprise. No dragons would be willing to accompany them if they did not leave then.
The dragons reluctantly lifted them and began to fly away, much to the chagrin of many Royal Academy students.
“Have you heard what the Dragon King said, Purple Lightning Dragon? Even if you don’t want me to be your master, you can’t be Watson’s pet now! Come with me. I can assure you that in my hands, you will achieve results comparable to Watson’s.”
Julius walked over to the Purple Lightning Dragon’s side and extended his right hand.
The Purple Lightning Dragon paused for a moment before turning his head to face Watson. Finally, he sighed, and his body expanded gradually. He transformed from a purple-haired adolescent to a dragon and said, “That appears to be the only option. Although I am now deeply regretful, there is no better way! Regarding what you said about being able to obtain achievements comparable to Watson’s, don’t make such a joke in the future. Even if the things you can give me are 1% better than what Watson could give me, I will still feel a little better.”
The dragon’s words pierced Julius’ heart like a sharp arrow. He noticed a gloomy glint in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved downward.
He was supposed to demonstrate his strength as a senior to the rest of the new students. It was also an excellent opportunity for him to get a new dragon and crush Watson’s pride. However, he had become a laughingstock; his dragon was more likely to recognize Watson as its master. They even admitted that they had regretted following him. That was like slapping him in the face.
Unlike the other students, he had been mocking Watson since he entered the Dragon Lair. He had stated that it was impossible for Watson to gain the favor of a dragon and that Watson’s appearance was a disgrace. However, reality revealed that Watson was the Dragon Clan’s favorite over all others. He had sunk into an abyss of shame and anger because of what he had said in the past.
“One day, Purple Lightning Dragon, I will make you realize the foolishness of your words. And Watson? Just wait. You embarrassed me in front of so many people. This humiliation will be returned to you tenfold, or a hundredfold!”
Julius’ eyes were filled with flames. Watson had not only killed his thunder-clawed dragon, but he had also dishonored his position as a Dragon Knight. The hatred between him and Watson had grown to the point where he would not rest until one of them was dead.
When they saw Julius’ expression, the Dragon Knights around them shook their heads and sighed. They remained silent. They were also embarrassed after being slapped in the face for mocking Watson. They could only hope that Julius would be able to heal his heartache with time.
While everyone was thinking about their own things, the dragons had already lifted their masters into the air and flew away. Watson also came to Sebastian’s side and signaled for him to transform. Fafnir’s eyes flickered at that precise moment. She took the initiative to approach him, pulling his hand.
“I need you to wait, Watson, because I have something to tell you.”
The ten Dragon Knights in the sky lowered their heads and stared at the scene, perplexed. They noticed Fafnir raise her head and smile as she waved to the sky.
“Everyone, I need to talk to Watson, so please take a step back for a moment! Plus, I have a feeling it will be a lengthy conversation. You should return to the royal city first. After I have finished speaking with Watson, I will dispatch a dragon to return him.”
“That doesn’t sound like a good idea.”
A Dragon Knight frowned. They had arrived together, but it seemed like they would not leave together. They had to leave Watson behind. It seemed like it was unfair for Watson. Who knew if the Dragon Clan really wanted to speak to him? Did they have any bad intentions? If they were to lose the kingdom’s strongest genius, King Landhar III would punish those who agreed to let Watson stay behind.
“There is nothing wrong with that. Just leave Watson here. Watson had just demonstrated such a powerful ability, after all. Perhaps he’s staying because the Dragon Clan wanted to talk to him about something good. Let’s not bother him. I promise, if anything goes wrong, I will be the one to talk to His Majesty.”
Everyone was still unsure as Julius spoke with a cold gaze while standing on the Purple Lightning Dragon.
He wished the Dragon Clan had some ill will toward Watson. Watson would be better off dying there. While he was filled with rage toward Watson, he was also terrified of Watson’s abilities. The man had created a starlight-tier weapon with a wave of his hand. It might even enable the dragons to evolve. How could he possibly defeat such a beast?
“Let’s go because Vice-captain Julius has said so. It is a good time to inform His Majesty of what had happened here. His Majesty will be overjoyed when he learns that the Dragon Knight Legion has successfully expanded to a hundred people!”
The remaining Dragon Knights did not hesitate when they saw that someone would take the blame. After that, they flew behind Julius, and they made their way toward the capital. In a matter of minutes, the group of people and the dragons had devolved into a smattering of tiny black dots. They were no longer visible.
Watson looked at Fafnir, who was holding his arm, after everyone had left the Dragon Lair. “What do you want to tell me, Lady Fafnir?”
Watson, please grant me the ability to evolve the dragons and create starlight-tier weapons. Please explain how it works.”
Watson frowned as Fafnir stated the obvious. “I am the only one who can cast that spell, Lady Fafnir. Even if you want it, I can’t give it to you. I am afraid I will have to leave if that’s all you want to tell me.”
He had some ideas when Fafnir dismissed everyone but him. After all, he had not only displayed numerous treasures in front of Fafnir, but he had also used the fusion system to fuse those treasures to a higher level. He believed Fafnir saw the value in it and was unwilling to let him go, just as King Landhar III had been when he first saw him use the fusion system.
“Watson, you are alone in the Dragon Lair now that your companions have left! You should comply with Lady Fafnir’s request. Otherwise, even if you have a lot of magical abilities, you will end well if a thousand dragons attack you,” Rem said coldly. “Don’t worry, Watson.”
“Who said Father doesn’t have any helpers?” Golden Flash and Charcoal said in response to her words. “Aren’t we here? After all, a few thousand dragons is nothing. The Blackmoon Knights will be enough to flatten you if Father opens the entrance to the Mount Creation and summons the army. The Blackmoon Knights are not even required. You will all be gone in an instant if Father activates the fusion system and moves his finger.”
There were only a few thousand dragons. They did not panic when they faced the millions of magical beasts in the Misty Forest on Mount Creation. Watson would be able to fuse with any number of enemies they encountered. The Golden Flash and Charcoal were both eager for the dragons to clash. That way, they could fuse with the dragons to become stronger, thanks to Watson’s system.
They were not the only ones. Sebastian, the God-arm Dragon, also stepped forward. “Lady Fafnir, please forgive me for not standing by and watching if you want to make a move against my master and take his things by force.”
Sebastian’s red and blue arms, which were floating on his shoulders, grew larger and longer enough to wrap around his body as he spoke. Those two arms grabbed the Spear of the Stars that Watson had fused. Sebastian looked like the God of War, full of dignity, thanks to his god-like palms and the spear that emitted the star phantoms.
“Sebastian, have you forgotten your own race or the kindness shown to you by Lady Fafnir? Just because Watson made you a weapon and helped you improve your strength does not mean you have turned into one. You are a truly ungrateful man.” Rem gave him a cold smirk. She continued to chastise Sebastian.
Sebastian’s face was serene in the face of her reprimand. “I am well aware that I would not be where I am today without the assistance of Lady Fafnir. So, I will not hurt Lady Fafnir; I will just keep her under control! However, if other dragons dare to harm my master, I will not let them off lightly.”
“Won’t hurt me, but keep me under control? Sebastian, your tone has changed to one of arrogance. You were only a platinum-tier dragon not long ago, but now you can order me around? Who gave you that courage? Did Watson give you the weapon, or are you him?”
Fafnir sneered and stretched her arms after hearing Sebastian’s words. “It has been a long time since I have exercised my body. It appears that it is time to get some exercise. Dragons always speak with vigour! Let’s see if you have the strength to match your arrogant demeanor, Sebastian.”
“I apologize, Lady Fafnir. Then I am not going to be polite.”
After a brief moment of silence, Sebastian raised his head and looked at Fafnir with a steady but sharp gaze. Then he took a quick step forward.
Boom!
The two massive arms beside Sebastian did not take the spear as he took a step forward. Instead, they gripped the spear and punched Fafnir in the face.
“Giant God’s Arm! Absolute Strength!”
The powerful force shattered the ground between Sebastian and Fafnir with a loud bang. Cracks spread along the ring-shaped mountain range and reached the lowest point. That punch appeared to be capable of tearing a hole through the entire Dragon Lair.
Huge boulders whizzed around Sebastian; he noticed Fafnir did not flee in the midst of the dust and rocks. She was still close to his body. His pure golden pupils reflected his appearance, causing her to become dazed for a brief moment.
He had yet to see his appearance after being upgraded to the God-armed Dragon via Watson’s fusion. If he was once an 80 to 90-year-old man, he was much younger then. He appeared to be between the ages of 50 and 60. That youthful appearance brought back memories for him.
Sebastian was not born in the Dragon Lair but rather in the wild. His parents were a platinum-tier frost dragon and a platinum-tier fire dragon.
He remembered his parents looking at him with scorn when he was a baby.
“This child has two dragon heads and inherited our bloodline, but he has no body at all. He is a weirdo.”
“This child will not live long. It is better to get rid of him. We still have a lot of time. We can still raise a new dual-attribute dragon that will inherit all of our strengths.”
Sebastian was abandoned in the wilderness during such a conversation. He thought he was going to die because he did not have a body. It was more accurate to say that his body was born before it fully developed. That gave him the appearance of two long dragon heads connected by a chain around his neck.
His small body was insufficient to support the nutrition required by his large dragon head, and if he wanted to eat, he lacked sharp claws with which to hunt. Thankfully, there was always a way. Soon after, he was picked up by a kind-hearted human farmer who went hunting in the mountains. He fed him every day until he became an adult.
When he grew up, he could transform into a dozens-meter-long dragon to assist the farmer in his hunt. More than ten years passed in that manner. He learned many human life skills and knowledge, and he considered the farmer to be his father. Finally, a group of people calling themselves the Knights of the Third Prince arrived in the village where the farmer lived one day. They promised to exterminate the evil dragons. The reason for that was the recent livestock thefts in the village, and everyone assumed it was the monster’s fault. The farmer was tragically killed by that group, Sebastian managed to flee with all his might.
After escaping, he ran into Fafnir while wandering around. Fafnir took him to the Dragon Lair. The other dragons were unwelcoming because of his weak ability and deformed body. Only Fafnir was unconcerned about it. Instead, he managed with the help of his sharp mind, which he honed in human society.
He remembered what Fafnir had said to him when he had just brought him to the Dragon Laid. “Many dragons left the safety of discipline to look for a relationship outside the lair, which resulted in many deformed younglings. You pity yourself because you are deformed. However, you’re mistaken. Those who are pitiful in the world are those who feel sorry for themselves. Come with me if you want to prove your worth.”
Fafnir’s words had given him a ray of hope, allowing him to persevere until he was bored. As a result, he was eternally grateful to Fafnir. That was also why he had to fight Fafnir. It was not because he would instinctively listen to Watson after the young man used the system to fuse him, nor was it because he had gone insane as a result of the benefits Watson had given him. He did it because he wanted Fafnir to understand.
Even if a poor person did not feel sorry for himself, the environment in which he lived had not improved. It was not enough for him to change his mind and become stronger. Others would continue to mock him. It was more important to change others and the world than to change oneself! “This is what I have learned all these years in the Dragon Lair. You have taught me not to be afraid of other people’s gazes, but my young master Watson has eliminated other people’s gazes.”
That was the primary reason Sebastian wished to fight for Watson. If Fafnir’s words had prolonged his life, Watson’s actions had given him a new life. Sebastian was no longer the dragon that his parents had abandoned and that his fellow dragons despised. He was strong enough to stand up to the Dragon King.
“Is that right? That is your realization, Sebastian. I can sense it.”
Fafnir, who was close to Sebastian, suddenly narrowed her golden pupils. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, forming a smile. Then, on her smooth brow, a crack appeared, revealing a round, spinning eye. The eye was made entirely of flames.
“In the name of Fafnir, the Sun’s flame has descended!”
The third spinning eye floated out from between Fafnir’s brows, enlarging and quickly transforming into a massive sun above Fafnir’s head. The sun covered the entire sky above the Dragon Lair in an instant. A sun that had been magnified thousands of times was descending at breakneck speed. Without a doubt, the entire lair would be destroyed if the sun went down. Many of the dragons were terrified as they looked up at the sky.
Even the Golden Flash’s and Charcoal’s faces were flushed. They were taken aback by Fafnir’s release of the Dragon King’s power and hid behind Watson. Only Watson remained calm in the face of the sun above his head.
“Giant God Weapon!”
An old voice rang out just as the sun was about to set into the Dragon Lair. Immediately after that, a massive spiral-shaped spear intertwined with red and blue stretched across the ground and sky in front of the giant sun. The enormous pillar that seemed to support the sky and the ground collapsed violently, severing the sun in two. In front of the giant spear, Fafnir’s summoned giant sun was not even half its size.
Not only was the sun gone, but the collapse of the giant pillar split the Dragon Lair in half. The two semicircular peaks on the left and right shook and pulled away from each other.
Sebastian’s red and blue arms were dim amid the incredible shaking. They were still clutching the spear that had pierced the stars. The two long spears were against Fafnir’s smooth neck. Meanwhile, the eyeball between Fafnir’s brows had been retracted, and the flames had vanished. He extended his hands.
“Sebastian, I give up. You appear to have earned the right to be proud now. Your strength is already at the Dragon King’s level. It is especially powerful, even among the Dragon Kings! But I would like to ask you a question. Why didn’t you use the weapon Watson gave you? If you had used it, there was a good chance I would have been injured.”
“I want Lady Fafnir to understand my true strength. Stop this pointless battle. It will be useless if I use my weapon,” Sebastian said while staring at Fafnir. “Lady Fafnir, please swear not to attack my master. Then I will let you go.”
“Very well, I swear I am not going to attack Watson! I have no intention of attacking Watson. I just want to put your strength to the test and see what Watson did to you. I realized, based on your current performance, that Watson’s improvement is far beyond my wildest dreams. In that case, I only have one option.”
Fafnir spoke under Sebastian’s threat. Cracks appeared on her body, and she became fragmented. She transformed into a swarm of scattered flames and flew from Sebastian’s clutches. She regrouped nearby, under Sebastian’s surprised gaze, and reverted to her original appearance.
“Watson, I would like you to join the Dragon Clan.”
“What do you mean, Lady Fafnir? I don’t get it.” Watson shook his head.
“What I mean is quite simple. I hope you can abandon your human identity in the Holy Dragon Kingdom and join the Dragon Lair, becoming a member of the Dragon Clan! Except for the Dragon King, all the other dragons will obey your orders, your reward for joining the Dragon Clan. I can ask the other Dragon Kings to make you the Dragon Clan’s ninth Dragon King. What do you think?”
At the time, the Dragon Clan had only eight Dragon Kings.
Watson would become the ninth Dragon King, or the Human Dragon King, for the first time in history.
“How can you make Watson the Dragon King, Lady Fafnir? You are kidding, right?” Rem had only recovered from the fight between Sebastian and Fafnir. When she heard Fafnir’s words, she could not help but exclaim.
“Do you think I erred in my judgment, Rem? You saw the fight, right? Aside from being technically inferior to me, his strength and speed have already surpassed the average Dragon King. He was able to transform a platinum-tier dragon into a dragon that could compete with me. Would you still object to Watson becoming Dragon King if that power was applied to other dragons, such as you?”
Rem wanted to refuse right away, but she hesitated.
Would she refuse to let Watson become a Dragon King if she had the power of a Dragon King? She was not sure if she would contradict that. The Dragon Clan only had eight Dragon Kings because the requirements for becoming a Dragon King were highly stringent. They had to be from an exceptionally talented family and also needed to work extremely hard and have a bit of luck. However, based on Watson’s actions, it appeared that the long-armed dragon had evolved quite easily.
In other words, if Watson was willing, he could raise any dragon to the level of a Dragon King. If he could turn the entire Dragon Clan into Dragon Kings, the Dragon Clan’s power would be unfathomable.
“What do you think, Watson? Do you accept my request? The dragons are the world’s most powerful creatures. As long as you work with the Dragon Clan and use your magical abilities to transform all the dragons into Dragon Kings, you will have access to whatever you desire. The kingdom, and possibly the entire world, will be yours.”
Fafnir extended her arms, and her words were enchanting. “Being the so-called most powerful genius in the human kingdom is a terrible waste of your talent. Join the Dragon Clan. I can make you the most powerful Dragon King.”
“I am surprised to learn that the Dragon King, who has mastered fire and metal, also possesses a spiritual hypnosis spell. You used that trick to escape when Sebastian sealed your body, didn’t you?” Watson spoke slowly, and what he said made Fafnir’s face change.
The corners of Watson’s mouth curled into a playful smile. “It is not impossible for me to help the Dragon Clan become stronger if you want me to become the Dragon King, but I have a condition.”
