War Online - Chapter 379: Imperial city of Dragons
“Heal” “Heal” “Heal”
A glow of golden light covered the lion, healing it to its full health.
It was only then, Wil allowed it to battle the General-level Dragon. After looking at the dragon’s level, Wil was actually surprised that Leon managed to reduce him to such a state while eliminating others.
After all, its HP is only 234 Billion and its overall attack is only 58.5 Billion. On the other hand, its enemy is a level-410 legendary grade dragon with over 312 billion HP.
The only way he can think it is possible is either it is because of the Critical damage or the opponent might be a defense or neutral type monster.
As it is unlikely possible with only a 400% critical rate, Wil concluded that the dragon might be of the latter possibility.
With the lion possessing a 50% damage reduction, the overall damage would be too little.
“Hmm, it seemed to be the possibility. Let’s check my hypothesis.”
Wil gave an order to Leon to take the first hit and then, counterattack with a fireball.
Leon let out a low growl, indicating that it understood.
Meanwhile, Gilrum was taken aback to see this mysterious kidnapper even knows the healing the life force, still, he hoped to stall them until the backup arrives.
Flapping its wings, he flew towards Leon to engage in close combat as he couldn’t use mana for the time being.
Soon, the distance between the five-meter big dragon and the winged lion that was one-fifth of its size decreased to a couple of meters, but the lion has yet to make the move.
It stayed still and took the attack of the blue dragon’s claw.
“-13,652,235,612”
With almost six percent of its health was dropped and a scratch appeared on its cheek, the Lion got a little bit angry because of its pride.
The blue dragon was now going for the second strike with the other claws.
As Leon opened its mouth, fireball started to form at a rapid pace.
The dragon was already on a motion to strike the lion and it couldn’t stop in the midway.
“-13,652,235,612”
The second strike landed on Leon and scratched its face once again but at the same time, the fireball hit the Gilrum right below the neck. The dragon flew away along with the fireball for a few meters before the fireball disappeared and it blew into million pieces.
*Crt. “175,523,235,411”
As the rain of items was falling on the ground, Wil nodded, “Good, it’s now confirmed. It is a neutral-type monster. So, there is no critical resistance. Its HP and defense is one-eighth of the HP, instead of usual one-fourth and one-twentieth respectively and vice-versa.”
Not bothering to pick up the items from the ground and wait for the backup soldiers for unnecessary fighting, Wil spoke with a smile, “let’s go, Leon.”
Of course, wild beasts like dragons couldn’t see the dropped items. So, Wil wasn’t worried if someone steals his loot that was dropped from the dead elder dragon.
With a speed of 1-mach, the Lion flew for more than three hours straight until a huge city appeared in his view that largely resembled his Vulture city at Ormshire.
A huge city was formed at the foot of a small hill on all sides. It was enclosed with a huge wall around it with eight entrances on all sides. Each entrance was accompanied by two towers. Soldiers were at the entrance to take care of the people that enter the city.
Meanwhile, the soldiers at the top of the towers keep an eye on the skies to make sure there are no illegal entries. Those who try to do that will be killed without any mercy.
Only General-level and above Dragons have the privilege to enter the city from the skies.
Meanwhile, on top of the hill lies a majestic golden palace that looked as if it was a deity looking down at mortals.
“Damn, the dragons really love gold, don’t they?” Even Wil was awed by the view of the palace where the outermost 30 layers were made of gold.
Moreover, the size of the palace also looks almost three times his palace in the Llyne kingdom.
While he was fascinated by the beauty of the palace, there’s no greed in Wil’s eyes. He wasn’t interested to snatch the palace but wanted to build his very own after becoming the Emperor.
“Leon, get down.” As he couldn’t see any dragons roaming above the city, Wil assumed that it might be banned.
Meanwhile, at the southeast gate, two soldiers were doing their duties normally while chatting with each other.
They seemed like they were happy.
“Thank goodness, his Majesty has returned.” A soldier named Dale sighed in relief. “Or else, who knows when we would have been roped in the situation and gets sacrificed.”
“Yeah, you are right. At the very least, His majesty cares about the lives of the soldiers. These Princes don’t even care about either the civilians or even the soldiers. To them, we are just sacrificial pawns.” As the other soldier also expressed his view, suddenly, his comrade raised his head, “Dale, look at that.”
“A beast?” Dale’s voice shook a bit as he stared at the white-winged lion descending slowly.
Even the soldiers on the top floor of the tower also spotted it. However, they didn’t do anything after seeing two people on top of it.
Slowly, Leon landed onto the ground a dozen meters away and walked towards the entrance.
The people who are entering the entrance halted their steps and looked at Wil and Leon in fear. As they gave the way to Wil, they wondered who the unconscious lady with energy chains is.
Meanwhile, the soldiers put up their guard and raised their weapons, and pointed at Wil. “Halt right there. State your identity.” Even though he knew that the person before them is of a higher level, Dale mustered up the courage and asked him.
Wil first pointed to the unconscious lady, “my identity doesn’t matter. This one is Kyla Draconus. Now, if you move aside, I have to deliver her to the Palace.”
“Eek!” Both of the guards took a step back in shock. “Ky… Kyla Draconus?”
They knew about the order the Dragon gave, last night. However, they never saw Kyla. So, they failed to recognize her.
“Please wait a second.” Dale quickly ran towards the tower to inform the captain. To his surprise, the captain was already on his way as he was informed by the guards on the top floor.
The captain walked towards the entrance and looked at Wil. A frown appeared on his face,“Eucliffe clan member? Without horns? Human side?”
He then glanced at the lady in energy chains. He slowly walked towards the lion and confirmed her face from far away as he was afraid of it. “It is indeed the princess.”
The Captain of the guards bowed, “I apologize. Please follow me.”
While leading him personally into the city, the captain kept on glancing at the lion and then, at Wil, wondering how could a Eucliffe clan member with human traits subdue a beast which wasn’t even possible for the mighty Dragon King.
In the meantime, the surrounding passersby also couldn’t help but stare at Wil curiously and then, at the lion in fear.
The captain met a few soldiers and even a couple of royal knights on the way and they too thought the same as him.
More than the beast, they wondered how could a person like the fourth princess was captured by them of all the people. In public opinion, only the Dragon King, the second prince, and the elders could defeat her.
To keep an eye on the beast as well as the mysterious stranger, the two royal knights also tagged along.
It took an hour to reach the palace gate, which looks more like a wall as it was built all around the hill, spanning over a hundred kilometers in total distance.
“Halt. State your identity and provide an appointment letter.” The guards at the gate were at level-300 and as strong as the royal knights. So, they neither fear Wil nor his Lion.
When Wil explained the same to them, one of the gatekeepers came forward but was met with the growl of Leon as he stood in front of the beast.
It led the remaining two gatekeepers to take out their weapons but Wil waved his hands, “relax. It’s harmless.”
“As if…” Looking at it, the surroundings soldiers thought of the same thing.
Clearing his throat, one of the gatekeepers said, “Okay, you can hand over the princess and wait here until I return.”
After all, he couldn’t let the beast enter the palace compound.
Just as the backed away gatekeeper continued to walk again to take the princess from Lion’s back, Wil patted Leon’s back and it let out an angry roar and made the gatekeeper, as well as the royal knights, fall on their butts.
As everyone took out their weapons and looked at Wil in hostility, he takes out a bracelet from his inventory and showed it to them. Looking at them coldly, Wil spoke, “Now, will you let me in or do you want me to raise the ruckus and force the Dragon King out to punish you in person?”
With the Golden bracelet that looked in the shape of the first dragon that evolved from a serpent.
The gatekeepers and the royal knights naturally recognized it. They quickly kowtowed before him. “We apologize to the honored guest of his majesty. Please forgive us.”
“Okay, just open the gate,” Wil said impatiently.
As the gate was opened, Wil proceeded to climb the hill followed by the royal knights.
