Chapter 406: Race to the Dragon Throne part-1

Wil inspected them.

Imperial Crown

Grade: Legendary

Description: The crown of the Dragon King.

Imperial Staff

Grade: Legendary

Description: The Imperial weapon of the Dragon King. It is the symbol of authority to rule over the entire Dragon Island.

Like Wil, everyone was also observing the two items, although they were a bit enamored by the thought of possessing them.

Just right then, a huge black portal appeared in the sky, far above them. She lightly threw the two objects into the portal. Almost instantly, they disappeared from everyone's view.

The old woman addressed the prime candidates for the throne, "My test is simple. The items are up there in the world that I created for the next ruler. Those who obtain the two items will become the king. This is the only rule. How you obtain them is your problem. But remember that until the two items are found, none of you will be allowed to exit the place. So, those who fear death can still quit now and return. The Previous Dragon Kings went through the same trial and so will you if you wish to rule this world."

*Ding! You receive a quest, Find the Imperial objects.

As soon as she finished with the announcement, Wil received a quest notification.

Quest: Find the Imperial Objects

Description: Two imperial objects, namely the Imperial crown and the Imperial staff have been lost in the Dungeon somewhere. Find the two objects before others to clear the dungeon.

Conditions for failure: Death of Lucius Mole Draconus

Rewards: Red Dragon's vial.

*Ding! You accepted the quest.

"Oh, Boy. This Dragon is very cheap. What should I do with a red dragon's vial? I'm already a mythic grade gold dragon." Wil grumbled as everyone getting ready to fly. "I guess I have to focus on killing everyone rather than finding those two objects."

While everyone flying, Lucius returned to Wil who stayed on the ground until everyone leaves within just the first two minutes as everyone is already prepared for the worst outcome. After all, they are NPC. So, their thinking was rather straightforward compared to a human's.

It was then the old woman's eyes fell on the man from the outside world.

She asked, "Are you two giving up?"

Wil smiled while shaking his head, "of course, not. I just don't think hurrying will help to find those two."

Lucius was a little bit surprised that Wil was taking a chill. It only describes how much confident is Wil, right now. So, he didn't urge him either.

However, in the next second, to his surprise, Wil summoned the squishy cloud instead of the winged lion that he was expecting.

Wil jumped on top of it and told Lucius to do the same. As Lucius sat behind Wil, the latter smiled at the old woman and boldly announced, "Please do remember these words. This kid behind me will become the next Dragon King whether we find those two objects or not."

The old woman stayed silent until Wil disappeared into the portal. She let out a mysterious smile, "the purest of dragon bloodline, eh. Indeed an interesting fellow from the ancient Neo Hybrid race."

*Ding! You entered the Realm of Velkazar.

*Ding! You found a hidden realm. You received 500 fame points.

Upon entering the portal, Wil found himself in the middle of a forest and the cloud is touching the ground.

*Ding! Flying is prohibited.

"Argh no flying damn" 

Dismissing the cloud, Wil opened the map. This was one of the perks of being a player. The others may not have any idea how the surrounding area looks like but Wil could understand how the realm looks like.

The outermost sector where he, Lucius, and every other person landed were landed is a giant forest in an hourglass shape connected by a narrow path. The map shows the outside region as black. So, that means they are outside limits obviously.

Meanwhile, the upper section and the lower sections have four concentric triangle-shaped regions respectively.

Upon taking a look at the structure of the hidden realm, Wil realized that each of the objects might have been placed at the centermost triangular regions. It may be named as a hidden realm but for Wil, it was awfully similar to that of a dungeon.

Wil doesn't know who is who but he could only see numerous red dots except for two blue dots, which represent their faction. Either way, monsters and competitors alike, since everyone is a target, Wil doesn't need to care about it

With a plan in his mind, he summoned the Monkey king staff to summon more than two hundred and ninety clones, spreading them around the forest to erase all the red dots on the outer section.

However, just as he was about to proceed with it, something else clicked in his mind and he fell into thoughts, "killing them in this way can ensure the win but can't I use this opportunity to level up my beasts and also grow the faction bigger? What's the use of becoming a Faction Lord of one person faction? Even after I was gone, the faction will help Lucius sit on the throne. Hmm, that's right."

Even though Lucius was in a position to even command Wil, he stayed silent and waited for Wil's action as he already put his life in this savior's hands.

He didn't even move from the spot until Wil came out of his thoughts and said, "Get ready. You will get to see the power of my pets."

"Pets?" Lucius tilted his head in confusion. Such a thing didn't exist in Dragon Island.

"Summon Felix"

*Woof*

A five-tailed bluish silver fox appeared before Wil. It barked while waggling its tail as a greeting. Rubbing his fur, he said, "Felix, you get a free ride. Reduce your size."

*Woof*

Felix used the passive skill, reducing its size to a size of a small puppy, and jumped on his shoulder.

"This is the so-called pet?" Lucius wondered. It was then, Wil summoned the next one.

"Summon Rexy"

*Roar*

This time, Lucius flinched in fear because of a powerful roar echoed in the forest, scaring not only him but also other candidates and beasts lurking nearby.

Eventually, as a huge dinosaur appeared in front of his eyes, he lost his footing and fell on his butt.

"C'mon, don't worry. They are friends." Helping him to get up, he ordered the T-Rex to lower down his head so that they climb up.

Getting on top of it, Wil grinned, "let the game begin."
