Chapter 373: Tome of Tiamat

*Ding! You completed the quest, Meet the Dragon King. You received the citizenship of Dragon Island.

*Ding! Congratulations on becoming the first player in the world to hold three simultaneous citizenships of three kingdoms. You receive 5000 fame points as a reward.

*Ding! You completed the quest, Missing Dragon King. You received an evolution stone as a reward. Please check your inventory.

Upon receiving the consecutive notifications, while Wil fell into a trance for a moment, not being able to believe that he's received the extremely rare item, the evolution stone as a reward, on the other hand, the Dragon King was also shocked to hear the name of his daughter from this savior's lips.

As Wil became a citizen of the kingdom of Dragons, the rage in Owen's heart is also dissipated.

"You are Averil's child?" Owen's voice echoed throughout the cave.

Wil, who returned to reality, corrected him and proceeded to explain the situation in order to finish the remaining quest, "Adopted son. I came from the outside world to deliver a message."

"Outside world?" The Dragon King fell into thoughts, "outside word, no horns, pure white wings"

Realization dawned on him. "You are an Angel, aren't you?"

"Yes, and No," Wil replied in a calm tone.

"What do you mean by that?" A frown appeared on the Dragon King.

"Dragon mode, Activate." Suddenly, a blinding flash appeared before Owen, which forced him to close his eyes for a second.

When he reopened his eyes, his pupils dilated to see a giant red dragon before him.

He felt the bloodline of the dragon was as much as pure as himself.

Wil transformed back to his Angel form and said, "As you can see, I'm also a pure-blooded Dragon."

"I see" Owen nodded as he realized the truth. He commented, "I guess this is why my daughter took you in.

Wil didn't bother to correct him and went with the flow, "Before she passed away, she asked me to give this letter to you. I'm here to fulfill her last wish."

Putting the Dragon King into another shock, he took out a blue envelope from the inventory which he received when the second major update's maintenance was finished, and Averil's spirit left his bow.

Wil handed the envelope to Owen, whose hands were shaking as he took it. 

"This is my Averil's handwriting." The Dragon King started to read the letter. Tears started to flow from the eyes to the cheek.

Watching the emotional old man who looks nothing like in the description, Wil thought of his father. 

Even though Owen was a game character, Wil felt like he was similar to his dad, a bad person who hurt many innocents and yet, love his child with all of his heart.

Wil couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

While Owen continued to read the letter in tears, Wil managed to stabilize his emotions and silently watched him finish it.

Wiping out his tears, Owen took an ancient booklet out of thin air. "This was something that she acquired from some human that invaded our world, decades ago. This is all left of her. Adopted or not, you are her family. It is right for you to possess this. I hope you will make it of some use." 

*Ding! You completed the quest, Last Wish. You received the tome of Tiamat.

*Ding! Favorability with the Dragon King increased by 20

Taking the booklet from the dragon king, Wil inspected it.

Tome of Tiamat

Type: Skill book

Grade: Unique

Description: Tiamat is an evil dragon that almost destroyed the world under the direct orders of Asmodeus, the right hand of Lucifer. After Lucifer was sealed by the Demigods, Asmodeus was killed and his pet was prisoned in Tartarus.

Effect: Upon learning the skill, the user can summon the five-headed dragon Tiamat from the prison of Tartarus. Cost: 10 mana points per second. CD: 1 hour per every 10 mana points of consumption

Learn this skill?

"10 mana points per second?" Wil gasped in surprise. "That's like 600 mana points per minute and 36000 mana points per hour.  It must be a mythic grade. That is why there is a huge consumption. Right now, I can hardly keep it for 50 minutes. I guess I must wait until level-400. Let's learn this later."

Placing it in the inventory, he bowed to the Dragon King and thanked him. It was really an extremely generous reward for something as insignificant as delivering a letter.

Owen waved his hands, "It's nothing. For several decades, I've been waiting for my daughter's arrival, constantly worrying whether she's even alive or not. It's actually a relief to know what happened to her rather than not knowing anything about her situation.

Anyway, as I said before since Averil treated you like a son, then, I'll also treat you like a grandfather. Come with me to the Imperial city and be my guest."

Thinking that his plan is going as expected, Wil readily accepted his wishes.

"Good." After nodding with a smile, suddenly, his face turned serious. "But, before that, there's something that needs to be done."

"Is it about the war?" Wil asked him, shooting an arrow in the dark. He suspected that the Dragon king might have known about it. And if he doesn't know, Wil decided to show him the light.

Owen confirmed Wil's suspicions with a nod, maintaining a serious look.

Very soon, a growl escaped from him as he clenched his fist, "Those brats of mine needed to be taught a lesson for going against my rules of not harming each other. To vie for the throne as soon as I disappeared, the elder dragons must be colluding with a brat of mine."

Owen then took out his bracelet and handed it to Wil. "I'm going ahead to stop the war. Come to the Imperial city. Show this to anyone who dares to stop you."

Without waiting for Wil's reply, the Dragon King flapped his wings and rushed towards the exit like a flash.

Not intending to lose the trail, Wil quickly got on Leon's back, "Let's go"

He followed the Dragon King from behind. And this is where he had made a blunder.

The moment he mounted Leon, its maximum speed was restricted from 3.2 mach to 1 mach.

By the time Wil exited the cave, the Dragon King was already out of his sight.

"Oh! Sh*t How could I make such a noob mistake?" Wil gritted his teeth in realization. Until now, he only considered how enormous the Dragon King's HP would be but didn't care about his speed.

Wil thought he would ambush the Dragon King once they got outside of the cave but his carelessness made his plan completely fail.

Taking a deep breath, he spoke to himself, "All is not gone. There's still a chance. To kill the Dragon King, either I need a strong helper or the war continues.

With the return of this Dragon King, the war might as well be halted but a helper. I wonder if Tiamat can do the job"

Wil took out the ancient tome from the inventory and learned it.

*Ding! You learned the skill, Descent of Tiamat. Check the Skill panel for details.

Descent of Tiamat (Beginner):  Summon the five-headed dragon Tiamat from the prison of Tartarus and bring the destruction around you. Cost: 200 mana points per second. CD: 12 hours per every 10 mana points of consumption.

Wil's hopes were dashed as soon as he saw the details.

The difference between the beginner and the mastered version is so high that Wil couldn't help but curse out loud, "F**k you Summersoft."

"Okay, now, that's 12000 mana points per minute. Even with the highest mana points in the world, I will hardly get 2 minutes to operate the beast. Any longer, I will have to use mana scrolls to feed mana to it. Let's hope this gamble works in my favor."

Under Wil's orders, Leon then flew towards the city of Ozreigh. Whether the war happens or not, Princess Kyla's onslaught on the city might likely happen.

In his view, the princess might be even more furious after seeing the possibility of claiming the throne becomes zero.

And in that kind of situation, those who offend her will pay a terrible price.

So, Wil was confident that the Princess will attack for sure. The only issue here is that he should be careful if he wants to kill her or else, who knows how the Dragon King would react.
