Epoch: A Berserker's Rise

Chapter 169: Xilzror

Adam had already read about those rare natural treasures in the manual he had, people would mostly use them when they were nearing the peak of understanding their Concept.

This was because the more one understood a Concept, the harder it would be to go on, meaning that going from 1% to 2% was much easier than going from 99% to 100%. And yet those fruits allowed one to get a bonus percent, no matter how much they understood.

And Adam intended to wait too. He wouldn't wait until he reached 99%, but rather just before he was going to be promoted to the next rank. This was because the 1000 additional attribute points would be much more useful if he used it before his promotion.

Actually, if he took it right now it would be a great power up, not just because of the AP, but because he would be able to create A Rank skills. However, Adam didn't want to do that, because he didn't even master all his B Rank skills completely yet.

So with some reluctance Adam put the fruit into his inventory, and turned to the two Godslayer's Hearts. He had no reservation for those two though. He directly took them both and fused them with his own Godslayer's Heart, and looked at the new description when they finished merging together.

[Godslayer's Heart] (Rare)

All attributes: +28%

Ignorance: Ignore Levels +10. (4/4)

Deep Wounds: Attacks deals bleeding effect, intensity based on the attack and the difference in strength. While bleeding, healing power halved. (7/7)

Sealed Power: To unseal this power fuse 10 hearts.

Sealed Power: To unseal this power fuse 13 hearts.

Sealed Power: To unseal this power fuse 16 hearts.

Sealed Power: To unseal this power fuse 19 hearts.

Sealed Power: To unseal this power fuse 22 hearts.

Sealed Power: To unseal this power fuse 25 hearts.

Fusion: For this artifact to regain its power all the pieces must be fused back. Fusion rate: 7/25.

It looked like the rarity of the heart was changing every time he got a Sealed Power, and if the math was right then once he gathered all the hearts and merged them together, this would become a Divine Artifact.

As for the power he had just unlocked, it was a very powerful skill. This would make his DPS even higher than it was, and the ones he hit would hardly be able to heal themselves, or get healed.

The boost in attributes was welcomed too as it allowed his HP to finally get past the 100k limit.

What was great about the boost attribute of the Godslayer's Heart was that it didn't just boost the pure attributes like other equipment, but they also took in the attributes added by skills and equipments.

Now that he had swiped the room and nothing was left but the ores, he left his place to Neith as she began her promotion process. As for him, he sat on the water next to the island as he admired the number of Gold Coins he had.

One zero, two zero, three zero, four zero well, they weren't zeros, but the point was, he had slightly more than 10 000 Gold Coins. This was a great wealth for someone like him.

If he were to be foolish enough to turn them into real money, first he would break the economy, but he would be able to get hundreds of thousands of dollars in exchange.

Of course, Adam didn't care about 'real world' money, he had way better uses for it in the game compared to Earth. Adam intended to work on his guild more when he got his armor and promotion, so that they wouldn't be at the mercy of all his enemies.

Four hours passed by, and Neith was still in the process of evolving. As for Adam, he had been spending his time meditating on the Water Concept, as he found the environment to be very suitable for this.

For the past hours nothing had come to bother them, but now Adam could see a figure flying toward them at a quick speed in the sky.

From the distance Adam could see it was a dragon, but now he needed to know how strong it was.

But as it approached closer and closer, Adam was relieved to find out it was small, it was only ten meters in length, meaning this was a young dragon. As expected, a few seconds later it approached close enough for Adam to see it's status.

[Fire Dragon Prince] (Elder, Level 50)

HP: 100,000/2,000,000

Now, Adam felt troubled. Not because of the dragon's identity, he couldn't care less about that. What troubled him, was the fact it was injured. For it to be injured so gravely inside dragon territory meant he was probably fleeing from his enemies, who would be led here.

The problem was, Neith couldn't move, but Adam didn't know if he would be able to push back the ones who harmed the dragon clan.

The dragon landed crashed into the water near the island, and quickly the water started turning red because of the dragon's blood which fell from it's wounds.

Adam looked at the dragon in the water, and realized it was still conscious, but couldn't move. Since it was a Fire Dragon, it very might drown if it couldn't get out of water. So after a moment he decided to take the dragon out of the water and dragged it to the little island.

As the dragon was pulled out of the water it coughed because of it's injuries, and after a moment it opened its mouth, and much to Adam's surprise, spoke "What are you doing here, Northerner?"

Adam also heard despair in his voice, so he said "I'm here to kill dragons."

The dragon sighed and laid powerlessly against the lake's bed "To think I would die by the hand of a mere Bronze Rank after being betrayed by my own kin"

Adam perked up when he heard it's words, and asked "Betrayed? Tell me about it, and I might not kill you. We might even become allies."

The dragon sneered "Who are you to speak those words? And here I thought dragons were arrogant" Adam snorted in response "I am the Aqua Sovereign, and you are standing in my domain. So even if I kill you, you should be able to consider it a good death. Now, tell me."

The royal dragon was obviously surprised, and after a moment he said "I guess it doesn't matter whether I tell you are not The Dragon King has gone mad, and ordered for our Fire Dragon Tribe to be exterminated pathetic, isn't it? Dying of infighting."

Adam raised an eyebrow and said "You are much more cool headed than I thought a dragon would be"

The dragon smiled depressingly and said "Whatever Since you are so powerful O Mighty Sovereign" Adam could hear sarcasm in his rough dragon voice, but he didn't say anything and let him finish.

" I have a quest for you. Slay the Dragon King. Slay the tyrant. Do you dare?"

[Ding! New Quest detected, 'Slay the Tyrant'!]

Quest Detail: The Dragon King has presumably gone mad and you have been asked by a dying Dragon Prince to slay the old dragon.

Quest Level: 250

Quest Difficulty: SSS

Objective: Slay the Dragon King.

Reward: ??

As he said that, the Dragon Prince looked at Adam expecting to see shock and embarrassment, but in the end he was the one shocked by the greedy smile that appeared on Adam's face.

Adam subconsciously rubbed his palms together as he said "I can definitely do that but it will have to wait. In the future, I will definitely kill this Dragon King. Now, since you are an ally, I can't let you die here. Do you need my help to heal?"

The Dragon Prince was shocked Adam had accepted his quest, and after a moment he said "You are the bravest person I have ever seen or the stupidest. But I don't think even Northerners are stupid enough You are worthy to know the name of I, Xilzror, Royal Prince of the Fire Dragon Tribe Unfortunately, you won't get to know it for a long time"

As he said that, Adam heard roars in the distance. He looked at the sky with shock. Flying toward them at a great speed, were a hundred blue dragons similar to Xilzror, except that they were all twice as big.

[Water Dragon Executioner] (Elder, Level 100)

HP: 10,000,000/10,000,000

Adam muttered to himself "Fuck."
