Armipotent
chapter-1094

Kaiser advanced to the Abyssal-Ruby Dragonic Skeleton. The bloodline advanced further the evolution, and he saw most of the stats were tripled. Kaiser got five additional skills as well; [Ruby Shield], [Abyssal Draconic Fire], [Elemental Mastery], [Dragon Sense], and [Mana Mastery].

"This is weird. I am not used to this new thing." Instead of clanking noise from its jaw, Kaiser could produce his own voice right now. The black orbs in his chest and sockets also changed into reddish-black. He seemed not aware that he spoke out as he kept looking at his hand, tail, and wings.

"You will get used to the change soon. What about trying to hunt the monster so you can get used to your new power?" Tang Shaoyang approached Kaiser.

"Ah. This Kaiser is grateful for the opportunity bestowed by Master!" For the first time, Kaiser knelt down toward Tang Shaoyang. The skeleton had never behaved this way before, and it surprised him that the change was not just the power but also the intelligence.

"You can speak now!? That's good."

After hearing that, only then Kaiser realized that they were speaking directly instead of using telepathy. The realization took him a while before he uttered the reply. "Am I the first one to speak to you, Master?" His tone was so dramatic, as if speaking with him was some sort of a big achievement.

[Master! A group is approaching the cliff. Asking for instruction!] Keeper's voice entered his head.

Kaiser seemed to receive the same message as he stood up. "I will take care of the intruder, Master!" The Abyssal-Ruby Draconic wanted to show his newly gained power to his Master, eager to show it by fighting the intruder.

"Hmmm, let's see them first." Tang Shaoyang was worried that the group might be from Starter City #5, who was looking for him. He was afraid that the group comprised the Myth Rank and the Primordial Rank. If that were the case, it would be hard for the Skelly Family to fight the group. Since he did not know what happened to the skeleton that died, he did not want to risk it. It took him a lot to nurture the nine skeletons, so he did not want to lose them.

Tang Shaoyang collected the Epic Rank bodies and the Ancient Rank before climbing up to the cliff and going to where Keeper was. Of course, he had seen the incoming group with Spirit Eyes. The group consisted of fifteen armored people looking like a knight. There was no flag with them which made it hard to identify the group.

"They must come because of the ritual." As he predicted, the pillar ritual attracted the nearby people.

"Should we leave? If we show up, then the others might come at us." Zowen furrowed her brow. Even though she wanted to fight, she did not want to fight the people. She wanted to hunt the monster and the beast.

The group was from the Sun Knight Order of the Virandal Empire. The Sun Knight Order was the strongest knight order that entered the tower. Their duty was to protect the nobles and the Royal Family that entered the tower, but they received a different order this time. It was to manhunt one person and took the dragon.

During their search, they saw the red pillar that shot toward the sky and immediately rushed to the source. "Damn! Someone already took the bloodline from the eleventh floor."

The Virandal Empire had participated in eleven Dimensional Towers, and there was secret information about the bloodline, the secret resource. The number of the bloodline was aligned with the number of the Starter City, and each bloodline ritual was located near each of the Starter City. They had been searching for this, but someone had already claimed it.

The group decided to check the ritual place and wanted to know which faction got the bloodline. Faran, the leader of the group, made the decision since the information about who obtained the bloodline was as important as capturing the dragon.

"Wait!" Faran stopped his subordinates as he sensed people coming toward them. He looked up and found the people, three of them were on the tree. He immediately recognized one of them, the target he had been looking for, Ying.

"Don't tell me you get the bloodline?" Faran was quite upset that his target got the bloodline.

"You know me?" Tang Shaoyang came down from the tree, scanning the group. One Primordial Rank and fourteen Myth Ranks. It was no doubt this was an elite group, about the same as the Executioner Knight from the Divine Church.

"You are quite bold to appear in front of us after what you did back then in the Starter City?" Faran squinted his eyes. He made sure that the information he had was still accurate by using Detection on Ying. The number one and the only one in the wanted list of Starter City #5 was still at the same rank. Faran was still relieved, then his eyes fell on the golden lizard that rested on Ying's shoulder.

The small lizard was the dragon, and no one expected it at first until it showed up in the Epic Rank Garden, annihilating the Crown Prince's personal force. From the report he received, Ying was a summoner and had a dragon bloodline. He was glad that someone with a dragon bloodline was a summoner. It would be terrible if Ying's class was any other class.

"What did I do in the starter city? Beating the people who deserve to get beaten? Or kill the people who deserve to be killed?" Tang Shaoyang let out a chuckle.

'But what about these two women? I heard he was alone, but where does this Ancient Rank and Myth Rank come from?' Faran was wary of the Myth Rank hot woman. None of them showed fear or wariness against him and his group, which made him uneasy. 'Maybe I just overthink. Calm down and focus on the objective. Since they got the bloodline, then I have to bring back the dragon.'

Faran raised his hand, signaling his team to get ready to fight. "You have two choices. Give the Golden Dragon to us and leave this place alive, or die by my sword!"
