Chapter 408: Race to the Dragon throne part-3

When Wil offered the position of Dragonlord to General Uru, he didn't expect the man to abandon his master and switched the sides right away. Such a person couldn't be trusted too. All he wanted was to see a little bit of hesitation on this level-400 legendary (-) grade dragon, considering the offer.

If such a happened, Wil would have decided to cut down the master and absorb the faction. However, it didn't happen.

General Uru didn't even hesitate to step outside the barrier and brandished the ax to cut down the monster before him with just one order from his master. It tells that he was incredibly loyal to the old man.

It was at that moment Wil decided to go with the second option.

"Rexy, Kill him."

The Tyrannosaurus let out another roar, trying to intimidate its opponent.

Meanwhile, General Uru dashed forward to cut off its legs. After spending in the forest terrain, he knew how many constraints a beast of such size would have in this area filled with trees. 

"Use Petrifaction skill," Wil passed an additional order after seeing his moments.

All of a sudden, its pupils were gone and its eyes turned blood red before a beam of red laser light was shot from its eyes while locking onto its target. Before the bearded General even made it halfway, he was struck by a laser beam and stopped in his tracks. Almost instantly, he turned into a rock statute.

"What the hell"

Under the stupefied gazes of low-level dragons, the tyrannosaurs raised the leg and stomp on his head. The first time it stomped, only cracks appeared over the statue while losing almost 95% of HP.

The notifications about his berserk state also rang in Wil's ears but it's of no use because Uru was petrified already and couldn't break out of the situation. 

Seeing that its opponent hasn't dead yet, it stomped once again, turning him into powder and dissipated the barrier.

*Ding! You killed Uru. You received 1.3 Billion EXP.

*Ding! You are in a two-member party. The EXP will be evenly distributed.

*Ding! Lucius is detected as Dragon Race. He cannot receive EXP. The acquired EXP will be received by you alone.

*Ding! You summoned two battle companions. The EXP will be evenly distributed between the three of you.

*Ding! You received the maximum limit. You cannot receive EXP.

*Ding! Rexy's level depends on its master. It cannot receive EXP.

*Ding! Felix receives 433.33 million EXP.

*Ding! Felix reached level 250. It is going under a fifth metamorphosis.

*Ding! Felix reached level 300. It is going under a sixth metamorphosis.

*Ding! Felix reached the maximum level. It cannot receive any EXP. Please increase your level to increase its level limits.

With just one kill, Wil saw his five-tailed fox now became a seven-tailed fox while receiving two additional skills.

*Woof*

It barked in happiness. It seems even animals love free EXP.

Meanwhile, Wil was a little bit confused about the notification. Earlier, Lucius did receive EXP when he hunted down the goblins and orcs that are standing in the way.

But, now, he didn't receive any EXP. Maybe, due to the same kind? After all, he doesn't receive EXP when he kills Players or NPCs too. And NPCs will also receive EXP only when they kill the beasts. Maybe, the dragon race will receive EXP if they kill a beast of a different kind.

When Wil thought of it, he felt it might be the case. He inwardly sighed, "A pity. The kid couldn't get his share of 650 million EXP. It would easily make him jump at least 200 levels and become a powerhouse."

Sorting out his thoughts, Wil then looked at the old man and spoke in a serious tone, "you still can redeem yourselves. Join our faction and support Prince Lucius' claim for the throne. I'll give you ten seconds of time. Those who wanted to join us kneel. Once the time is up, those who are still standing in front of us will receive the same fate as your General. Well, you can try to run away but make sure to hide carefully all your life. Not even an Elder Dragon will be able to save you then. Now, make your choice."

Everyone who was still not out of stock started to shiver in fear of their lives upon hearing the warning. Their heartbeat increased rapidly as they didn't know what to choose, loyalty or life.

"Ten, nine" Wil started counting, increasing the terror on their faces.

*Thud*

Shockingly, before even two seconds passed, the level-310 captain Mallard suddenly fell on his knees, "I submit."

*Thud* Thud*

Followed by him, one after another, everyone fell on their knees, leaving an aggravated old man. 

"You trashes. How dare you" He pulled out a sword and pointed at the nearest soldier. "I will kill each and every one of Ugh"

Before his words ended, a fire arrow struck his chest, turning him into ash. Everyone raised their heads to see Wil had an exquisite bow in his hand. At the same time, they felt a strange kinship with the bow as the power of Averil's spirit was engraved on it.

Closing the notifications that were only informing him about the maximum level limit, he looked at twenty-eight soldiers kneeling on the ground and nodded to himself, "well, this one also works."

"From now onwards, your loyalty will lie with his Highness. Keep in mind that loyalty will earn rewards and disloyalty will earn you death." The Tyrannosaurus slowly lowered its head as Wil made a statement. 

Because it is a fifty-meter giant beast, they haven't got a clear look before. Now when everyone saw the young appearance of Lucius, they were a little bit taken aback but since they already jumped onto another ship with their original ship being sunk into an ocean, they could only sail on it, at least until a better opportunity appears.

"Aren't you going to greet your future king?" Wil's voice brought them to reality.

"Greetings, your highness," All of them kowtowed before Lucius to pay their respects while Wil continuously received notifications about each one joining his faction.

Meanwhile, the Divine Dragon who was observing all the candidates from outside let out a smile, "this young man chose this route huh. Entered my abode with one member in the faction but now, increased to 29. Let's see how far he will go."
