"Theke, so you want to try to tame the dragon?" Reign asked Beast who nodded seriously at his question.
"Hmmm, you do know that the dragon was probably a Tier IV being before, there''s a high chance that he has be more powerful now thanks to the mark it received, there''s no telling just how strong it currently is," Wolf told Beast from the side, fully aware that Miriam had given the dragon a mark that, although not as good as the one he had received, was nothing to scoff at as it was something a Peak God had given it.
"I know, that''s why I want to go there, I don''t want to fight it right away, I just want to find out how strong it currently is, we can check it from a distance, right?" Beast asked the two who thought for a bit before nodding at him.
"Let''s go to the castle first, we can get some stuff that will help us." Reign said as they all made their way to the portal before passing through it and arriving at the castle.
Thanks to howrge and busy Doncaster is, one would think that the castle would currently be almost empty, but it wasn''t so. Many yers could be seen moving around as the beginner areas here were biggerpared to those near Doncaster, making it easier to level up here in the beginning.
As Doncaster grew, they received the opportunity to get in touch with other territories that were nearby and had managed to get in touch with more and more people. Some territories were small, only having tens of people, while some wererger, with hundreds of them.
They had even gotten in touch with some territories that were quite far away thanks to the auction house where they could sit in arge auction where holographic images of other people would appear, giving them a chance to talk and exchange information.
The region they were in was big and Reign and the others had even managed to fill in a map of the region, unfortunately for them, the areas that the other territories had explored were far away and there were many unexplored areas between them and Doncaster, making it difficult for them to meet.
If they could meet, then they could ce a portal that could lead them to the other territory, and the others coulde to Doncaster the same way, making it much easier to trade and even team up, that would only be possible if they were friendly, however.
Still, as more people got the bravery to start hunting and leveling up, the castle would get busier and busier. Right now, there were over a hundred people shopping inside the confines of the castle gates, and Reign and the others were going to do the same.
They made their way over to a stand where one could buy one-time consumable items. The ones they were going to buy were actuallyrge steel javelins that were hollow inside.
The javelins were special as they were expensive, but useless to those that were not at least Tier II, while their real power could only be unleashed by those that were Tier IV and V.
The javelins were not very durable and would break easily, but that was not the point. The main thing was that they were hollow inside, and one would be able to charge them in order to get them to unleash their power.
By storing mana inside and charging the javelins fully, they would then explode upon impact, which could be used to deliver an astonishing blow to the enemy. The only problem with them was the fact that upon starting the process of charging them, one could not simply pause and then resume it.
It had to be done right away, as upon charging them, the javelins would start getting unstable, and they would explode soon, which meant that one had to charge them and throw them right away so that they wouldn''t explode in their face.
Reign and the others bought 5 javelins and made their way outside. The soldiers said hi to them before opening the huge gate and letting them out, after which they ran toward theke.
When they first made their trip over to Doncaster, it took them days to get there, and theke turned out to be the most dangerous ce around, so Reign and the others had never gone back there.
This would be the first time they were going back, and Reign and the others were a bit excited to see just how much the forest had changed. Months had passed, and there was definitely going to be a differencepared to before.
Reign and the others made their way through the BloodHill Forest, and they were able to see that the cultist was nowrger in numbers while there was a higher number of vamps as well. The yers hadn''t beening here for a while, which made it easier for them to multiply their numbers.<novelsnext></novelsnext>
Reign and the others killed those they hade across in order to make it easier for the yers in the future. The cultists and vamps were strongerpared to thest time they had been here, and they had evene across some cultists outside of the BloodHill Forest, which was not a good sign.
"We should tell the yers to keep this area under watch, they can level up faster here thanks to the high numbers, but it will be more dangerous to them as well," Wolf said as he threw a dead cultist away while Reign used a [ Lightning Bullet ] to pierce through the head of a vamp that had been observing them from afar.
"Right, we could easily lower the number of monsters, but we can leave that to the yers, there might be some casualties, but many would level up quickly here as well, the benefits could easily outweigh the risk." Reign nodded at him before they continued along their way, this time releasing some of their aura so that the monsters wouldn''t daree close to them.
The trip was not a long one, Reign and the others were many times more powerful nowpared to the first time they hade here, which meant that not only did they not need to sneak around, but they were faster as well.
They quickly reached the Ironbark Woods and went to a nearby hill so that they could see where theke was. Upon reaching the hill, they could see that theke was about 1km away from them, which was not that far, but also not that near.
They could have used Beast''s flying monsters to reach this ce faster, but they wanted to check the other areas, so they resorted to walking here, which took them some 2 hours.
"This should be enough, right?" Reign asked Beast who nodded his head before the took out the javelins.
Reign and Wolf started charging two, as they believed that would be enough, but if they had a need for more, they would use the other three after this attempt.
The charging process was quite slow as they needed a total of 10 minutes to charge the javelins, and that was only because they were running low on mana after 10 minutes, not because the javelins were full.
Only a Tier V being could fully charge the javelins, and they were still far away from that realm.
Upon stopping with the charging process, Reign and Wolf nodded at each other before stepping forward. They lifted up the javelins next to their heads and pulled back their arms. Twisting their hips, theyunched the two javelins, and a sonic boom was heard as they broke through the sound barrier while traveling to theke.
It only took a moment for the javelins to enter theke before tworge explosions simultaneously urred and tworge pirs of water rose high in the air.
"Let''s wait a bit and see if it wille out." Reign said as they all stared at theke, even M''azgara and her elite troops that had never before seen the creature that inhabited theke.
About 15 seconds after the explosions took ce, the water started moving slightly before a huge pir of water exploded out and a giant creature showed itself to them.
They were all lying on the floor and observing the flood dragon. They could immediately notice that it was different from the first time they had seen it. The once blue flood dragon now had purple streaks on it and its body had be evenrger than before. None of them knew just how long it was since only a portion of its body had left theke, but it was thickerpared to before.
The horns had also be bigger and longer, while the aura it was exuding made them gulp since the pressure they could feel, even from this distance, made them aware that they were definitely not the dragon''s opponent.
''It''s definitely above Tier IV, maybe even above Tier V as even the monsters in the desert didn''t have such tremendous pressure.'' Reign told himself as he stared at the giant dragon that was looking around theke, trying to find the reason for the two explosions that had taken ce a couple of seconds ago.
