The waves hit the ship’s hull, making dance alongside the waves. It’s been three days since they left for the treasure hunt. Captain Claridge said it would take them at least a week to get to the island, but at least they got themselves a place to stay. Captain Claridge gave each one of the hired people a private room. It was small, and could only fit one person, which turned out to be a problem for Arthur. Arthur was inside his tiny room, which had only a wooden bed and a small desk that could…

The people inside the inn never thought they would see that. A random youth going toe to toe against the famous Captain Claridge. If they weren’t present and heard such a rumor, they would think it was only but a fairy tale. “Impressive, kid.” He did not think Arthur would defend his punch, but Claridge prepared another one right after. Claridge vanished from his chair and appeared behind Arthur, sending yet another punch. Everything happened so fast no one else inside the inn saw a thing, but…

“What’s the city name, anyway? I forgot already!” “It is Crila. Crila is one of the biggest cities, which means we can find some ways to earn money there. At least I hope so.” Arthur and Kai had been flying for one day and a half. Their destination? Crila. The first step to have a ship with a strong crew was money. Kai said Crila was one of the biggest cities he knew, so it should contain ways for them to earn the money. They rode on Sully’s back all the way to Crila. Sully could fly above…

The other high-ranking members shared the same fate. This demon wasn’t fooling around, and killed them mercilessly. It tore them apart, and after it was done, it gazed directly at Arthur. “I can sense you’re stronger than the rest of these fools, but it will not be enough to stop me.” “Let’s see.” said Arthur. He dashed towards the demon at full speed. Arthur threw a right punch, aiming at the demon’s cheek. The demon blocked using his left arm, but Arthur did not stop there. He twisted…

The danger passed. Arthur and Kai sat near the campfire to warm themselves and to talk. Arthur explained to him who these people were, and it shocked Kai greatly. “They plan on attacking the village? We can’t let this happen, Arthur!” “I know. It won’t happen. These people have a secret meeting spot and I’ll infiltrate in it.” Kai sighed in relieve, “Good, good. Will you need my help?” “There’s no need. If things go on the opposite side, Sully’s here.” “Yeah, I forgot about…

The sound of someone running echoed throughout the cave, and Arthur and Sully did not move an inch. Hiding was not needed when you had the strength to back up. Now with Sully by his side, there was no chance Arthur would be in danger, at least not on that island. “What could it be, Arthur? Should we prepare for a fight?” “Don’t worry. There’s no need to go seriously against such weak people.” Sully did not get why Arthur had such confidence. Of course, Arthur was a dragon, but he was not at…

A blood contract was something rare to happen. It was hard to subjugate beasts. They preferred to die over becoming a human’s pet. Arthur being a dragon made the difference in that situation. The beast used its claws to draw a circle with strange patterns and painted it using its blood. “Come, we need your blood now, then do an oath, and that’s it.” Arthur walked toward the circle and cut his arm using his draconic claws. Blood dripped directly at the mysterious symbol, which started to shine…

The next reunion would happen next week. Arthur did not enter the mysterious room to explore. He was afraid it could somehow alert the other members of the order. It was common for people to use magical formations to protect the inside of places against trespassers. So, the only thing left for him was to find another place to stay. With that in mind, he left the cave. The moon shone in the sky, and the darkness did not mean much for Arthur. He wanted to find another cave, one without a demonic…
-
The sound of voices going in Arthur’s direction surprised him. He walked quite the distance to find that cave, yet people were near him. Was he followed? Or did these people have something to do with the mysterious door Arthur just found? One of them said something about killing the people of the village. Arthur would not let such an act happen, especially to Rauk, who rescued him from the deep sea. But before doing anything, one needed information. The best thing for Arthur to do was lay low and…

The crazy Nefion taught him skills coming from a dragon. Was he a dragon? Or did he learn it using other methods? Arthur couldn’t find the answers to that question, just like he couldn’t move inside the eggshell. All kinds of information started to pop up for him. Most of these were about the new skills acquired after unlocking his bloodline. Arthur lost the previous ability that allowed him to absorb mana. His new skill, Placidusax Devouring, worked the same way, but it could devour anything,…
