《Raging Orc Blood: God-Level Fusion》 Chapter 1 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Blood Roar City. In a dilapidated wooden hut. An orc who looked like a human slowly sat up, from the bed. ¡°Where am I?¡± Mitchell looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings and couldn¡¯t help but murmur. Then, he felt a sudden pain in his head as if his brain had been pierced. A large amount of memories kept flooding into Mitchell¡¯s mind. It took a full ten minutes for Mitchell to sort through this memory. So, he had transmigrated. This was the Orc tribe¡¯s Blood Roar City. As for himself, he was the eldest son of the Blood Roar City Lord Xeno, Blood Roar¡ªMitchell Blood Roar. Although he was the city lord¡¯s son, Mitchell was not happy at all. Because his memory showed that he had never been valued by Xeno since he was young. Just because he was a hybrid born from the rape of a human woman by Xeno. Mitchell, who had the mixed blood of an orc and a human, was highly regarded before he was born. Even Xeno took this unborn child very seriously. Orcs, with their thick skin and powerful strength, were the most powerful warriors. Humans, on the other hand, had the gift of affinity with the elements and were good at using all kinds of magic. If this child could inherit both the excellent bloodlines of the orcs and humans, he might become the first orc warrior in the history of the orcs to use magic. This would elevate Xeno¡¯s position to unprecedented heights. However, after Mitchell was born, all the beautiful illusions vanished. On the day Mitchell was born, his mother died due to the difficult birth. But Xeno didn¡¯t even look at the human woman. He simply picked up the child eagerly. Then, he was disappointed. This child neither had the strong physique of an orc nor the affinity and talent of a human. To put it bluntly, he had failed to inherit the merits of both races. He was only left with only the flaws of his races. Apart from his human good looks, Mitchell was an out-and-out garbage half-orc. He couldn¡¯t even match up to ordinary orcs. This was as if the Creator had made a bad joke with Xeno. The more Xeno looked at this son, the more he disliked him. In the end, he simply ignored him completely. *** After sorting out his background, Mitchell frowned slightly. In his previous life on Earth, he was already unhappy. He did not expect that he would end up in such a miserable state after transmigration. While he was in a daze, he suddenly heard a conversation outside the door. ¡°Your Majesty, this is the Third Prince¡¯s house. Aren¡¯t you going to take a look?¡± ¡°Humph, what is there to see about that trash? Let him fend for himself.¡± The memory in his mind and this conversation sent a message to Mitchell. The person outside was his father¡ªXeno Blood Roar. Before Mitchell could react, the conversation started again. ¡°But today is an important day for the princes. Isn¡¯t it inappropriate not to bring the Third Prince along?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. Trash is trash. Bringing him over would be a disgrace.¡± ¡°And don¡¯t ever mention the half-orc in front of me again. I don¡¯t have a useless son like him.¡± With that said, footsteps sounded outside the door again. Xeno seemed to have left. Mitchell looked calmly at the closed wooden door. Nothing stirred inside him. After all, his memories clearly showed that he had not been valued by his father for half his life. He was already used to it. Knock, knock, knock. There was a soft knock on the door. Mitchell looked up and gradually. ¡°Please come in.¡± Although Mitchell spoke the Orc language, he seemed to be born with it. This was his body¡¯s instinct, as well as the convenience brought by the fusion of memories. The wooden door was slowly pushed open with a creaking sound. A man who looked aged, walked in and bowed. ¡°Greetings, Third Prince.¡± Mitchell nodded slightly. Mitchell recognized this old orc too. He was Xeno¡¯s old housekeeper, Chester. Unlike other orcs, Chester had a gentle personality. Seeing that Mitchell and his mother had been neglected by Lord Xeno, Chester had been secretly helping them. Chester was also the one who initiated the conversation. His thoughts were simple. He just wanted his master, Xeno, not to forget that he had such a son. However, his suggestion was useless. Xeno, as usual, paid no attention to Mitchell. ¡°Third Prince, those words earlier,¡± Chester hesitantly said with a worried expression. Mitchell nodded slowly. ¡°I heard everything,¡± he said calmly. Chester was taken aback by Mitchell¡¯s reaction. Why did the Third Prince seem different from usual? If it was the Third Prince in the past, he would probably be sighing and even crying by now. Why did the prince¡­ seem to be overly calm today? Thinking of this, Chester was shocked. Could it be that this incident was too big of a blow to the Third Prince, so¡­ Chester looked carefully at Mitchell, who seemed calm. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the situation. Today was the day the city lord¡¯s sons displayed their strength to all the residents of Blood Roar City so they could win the hearts of the people. Even if Mitchell had almost no chance of getting first place, he was at least qualified to participate. But now, Xeno wasn¡¯t even giving Mitchell a chance to participate. Hence, it was understandable for him to be agitated upon hearing such news. Thinking of this, Chester sighed again and said softly, ¡°Third Prince, if you need anything from this old servant, just say it.¡± ¡°Your old servant shall take his leave now¡­¡± At this moment, it was better to leave the Third Prince alone. Thinking of this, Chester shook his head and sighed as he left the wooden house and closed the door. With a jarring creak, Mitchell was left alone in the house again. He slowly shifted his gaze to look around in the small hut that was covered in cobwebs and broken furniture. After being neglected by Xeno, the trash from his previous self had lived in despair in this hut until now. The room was barely cleaned and there were even some food scraps left on the floor. A group of ants were passing by in an orderly manner and were moving the food bit by bit. Mitchell sneered at the sight. ¡°If it was the trash from the previous life, he would probably be crying and lamenting ¡®how great it would be if I could become an ant¡¯.¡± The next second, an emotionless electronic voice sounded in Mitchell¡¯s mind. [Host¡¯s wish has been detected. Binding system now.] [System binding successful] [Congratulations to the host for successfully binding the God-Level Fusion System] Mitchell was a little startled, then he smiled. ¡°The golden finger is finally here.¡± Chapter 2 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Mitchell, who often read online novels before he transmigrated, was naturally very familiar with things such as gold fingers. Even after discovering that he had transmigrated, Mitchell had been silently waiting for the arrival of the golden finger. Hence, Mitchell was not surprised at all. On the contrary, he calmly opened his cheat code and checked the specific functions of the ¡®God-Level Fusion System¡¯. It only took Mitchell a minute to figure out the purpose of the system. Because it was too simple and crude. As the name suggested, this was a system that could integrate with various races and obtain the genes of this race. Simply put, if he chose to merge with an orc now, he would be able to obtain a strong physique. If he found a human to fuse with now, he could obtain the elemental affinity of a human. If he found a dwarf to fuse with now, he would most likely obtain the dwarf¡¯s forging and brewing techniques. With this system, Mitchell would no longer be a good-for-nothing who had only inherited the flaws of his race. On the contrary, he would become the strongest orc in all races! Thinking of this, Mitchell couldn¡¯t wait to try out how useful the system was. Soon, his gaze landed on the ants that were carrying food on the ground. He bent down and picked up one of the ants. The ant struggled frantically after Mitchell grabbed it. In the eyes of the entire world, ants were the weakest creatures. However, in Mitchell¡¯s eyes, ants were a very powerful race. [Ding, detected Host has subdued the ant. Do you want to merge?] ¡°Fuse!¡± Mitchell didn¡¯t hesitate at all. Instantly, the ant in Mitchell¡¯s hand turned into white light particles and flew into Mitchell¡¯s glabella. Mitchell, on the other hand, instantly felt a steady stream of powerful energy surging through from his body. [Ding! Congratulations to Host for successfully fusing with an ant. Genes obtained¡ª10 times strength] ¡°Sure enough!¡± Mitchell could no longer hide his excitement now. There was a severe lack of knowledge in this world. Even the knowledge of humans was limited to history and magic. Meanwhile, Mitchell, who had transmigrated from Earth, had a lot of knowledge that this world did not know. Take the ants for example. The people of this world didn¡¯t understand them, but Mitchell did. Ant, this seemingly weak creature, could actually lift an object that was four hundred times of its own weight. If it was to use the method of dragging, it could even increase this multiplier to 1,700 times! No race in the world possessed such powerful genes. It could be called the world¡¯s strongest race! Although this gene could only be multiplied to ten times by Mitchell, it was already very powerful. Although his physique was considered thin and small among the orcs, the other orcs weighed about 150 to 200 kilograms, and he was only 100 kilograms, the strength of the other orcs was only 300 to 350 kilograms. Even his elder brother, who was favored by his father, only had 500 kilograms of strength. But now, Mitchell could easily reach 1,000 kilograms of strength. It was twice that of Big Brother! Sensing that the changes in his body had stopped, Mitchell slowly stood up and gently grabbed the edge of the bed. The next second, Mitchell casually lifted up the crudely made solid wooden bed with one hand. Looking at the blanket that was scattered all over the floor because the bed had become slanted, a trace of fervor flashed across Mitchell¡¯s eyes. ¡°From today onwards, I will no longer be Mitchell!¡± *** Today was different from usual. The War Plaza was already packed with people. There was no other reason. Today was the day of the Strength Conference. City Lord Xeno had also issued a notice. Whoever could win in the Strength Competition would be rewarded handsomely. Although everyone in the Blood Roar City knew that today was called the Strength Competition, it was actually just an exhibition match for the city lord¡¯s sons. Xeno¡¯s eldest son, Serre, was said to have the strength of 500 kilograms. This was not something ordinary orcs could compare to. However, although almost no one could compete with Serre for the first place, everyone still gathered here. For no other reason, as orcs were a race that advocated strength. The young and strong orcs were all very willing to participate in the Strength Competition. Even if they couldn¡¯t get first place, it was still very honorable to get second or third place. Meanwhile, the juvenile and elder orcs also enjoyed watching these performances. For the orcs, strength was everything. Soon, the crowd cheered. A common orc warrior had lifted up a 900-kilogram boulder! One had to know that a normal orc who could lift 400 kilograms, was already considered a very formidable warrior. And yet this unknown little commoner actually had such awesome strength. It was enough for him to gain the respect of everyone. Soon, the warrior lowered the boulder in his hand. When the boulder landed on the ground, it made a loud sound. Even the ground seemed to be shaking slightly. The warrior seemed to be enjoying himself very much with the shouts of the people below. He slapped the muscles on his chest hard. Xeno, who was sitting on the high platform, looked at the warrior below and his eyes lit up as if he was rather impressed. ¡°Warrior, what¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°Lord Xeno, my name is Al.¡± Al was excited that the citylord was talking to him. He looked as if he was about to achieve a meteoric rise. In fact, it was true. Xeno nodded with satisfaction and said in a low voice, ¡°You will work for me in the future. Are you willing to be a centurion?¡± Al immediately knelt on one knee in excitement upon hearing that. He hurriedly said, ¡°Thank you for your appreciation, City Lord!¡± The surrounding people were also extremely envious when they saw this scene. This was the second objective of the Strength Competition. If anyone were to display outstanding strength today, they would be recognized by the city lord and rise rapidly. What did a centurion mean? On the battlefield, he was just a small regiment commander leading a hundred-man regiment. But in the eyes of commoners, this represented food and status. To most people, this was already a very generous reward. With Al as an example, the crowd below became restless. Many people already couldn¡¯t wait to go on stage to show their abilities. Xeno had naturally seen that. Seeing that the atmosphere had reached a certain heated point, Xeno immediately waved his hand and said loudly, ¡°Where is my son Serre?¡± The people immediately became excited upon hearing Serre¡¯s name. Apart from being the city lord¡¯s eldest son, Serre also had another identity. Blood Roar City¡¯s number one warrior! How could the commoners not be excited when such a person appeared? Soon, Serre reached the stage amidst the cheers of the commoners. ¡°Your son is here!¡± Looking at his son¡¯s full energetic state, Xeno nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand. ¡°Someone, bring my son a 500-kilogram boulder!¡± Hearing that, the people became even more excited. It was rumored that Serre had the strength of 500 kilograms. Could they finally see it with their own eyes today? However, just as everyone was preparing to witness this scene with their own eyes, Serre said smugly, ¡°There¡¯s no challenge with a 500-kilogram boulder. Bring me a 600-kilogram boulder!¡± Chapter 3 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The crowd went into an uproar as soon as he said that. Many people could not even react and could only look at each other in shock. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Did the First Prince just say 600 kilograms?¡± ¡°I think I¡¯ve heard the same thing.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that the First Prince has 500-kilogram strength? When did he have 600- kilogram strength?¡± Whispers appeared below the stage, and Xeno frowned slightly too. He knew his son¡¯s capabilities very well. It would already have achieved the effect he wanted if Serre could lift a 500-kilogram boulder. But now Serre was going to lift a 500-kilogram boulder. It would be best if he could lift it. But if he couldn¡¯t lift it up¡­ then this Strength Competition would become a joke. Not only Serre would be made fun of, even he, his father, would be equally disgraced. ¡°My son, don¡¯t joke around. 500 kilograms is already brave enough.¡± Xeno¡¯s voice appeared on the dais. He was trying to give Serre a way out. Chatter below the stage followed. ¡°That¡¯s right. 500 kilograms is already very impressive. Our Blood Roar City probably hasn¡¯t had a 500-kilogram warrior for more than ten years.¡± ¡°It would not be worth it if you were to forcefully lift 600 kilograms and injure your body.¡± ¡°The First Prince is still young, so it¡¯s understandable.¡± ¡°It¡¯s only natural to be young and frivolous.¡± Obviously, no one thought that Serre could lift 600 kilograms. No one would make fun of him if he requested to lift a 500-kilogram boulder again. But if he failed, that would be him overestimating himself. Serre, who was on the stage, naturally heard the discussions of the people below, but he said confidently, ¡°Father, you might not know this, but I have made quite a bit of progress this year.¡± ¡°I can easily lift this 600-kilogram boulder!¡± This time, all the commoners erupted into a commotion. Xeno, who was sitting on the viewing platform, also heard it. It seemed that his eldest son wasn¡¯t boasting. He was really confident! ¡°Alright, my son is braver than others. I am very pleased!¡± ¡°Someone, bring a 600-kilogram boulder!¡± A moment later, four strong orc warriors carried a huge boulder and slowly walked onto the stage. At this moment, the boulder instantly became the center of attention. Everyone could not help but exclaim when they saw the boulder. How could this be called a boulder? This was clearly a small mountain! With a thump, the four warriors let go at the same time, and the boulder landed on the stone stage. And a spiderweb of cracks appeared on the stage. Looking at the huge boulder, Xeno reminded again, ¡°My son, are you sure you can lift this 600-kilogram boulder?¡± All the commoners were watching today, and Xeno did not dare to be careless. But Serre didn¡¯t say a word. He simply walked up to the boulder in high spirits. Seeing how persistent Serre was, Xeno stopped persuading him and focused on watching him. As for the commoners below the stage, all of them held their breaths in concentration, not even daring to breathe out. They were afraid that they would affect the First Prince¡¯s performance if their breathing were louder. It would be a great feat if he really lifted it up. Serre took a deep breath and lowered his center of gravity. Then, he extended his arms and tightly hugged the giant rock. After his hands were steady, Serre¡¯s entire body tensed up and he roared. ¡°Ha!¡± Everyone¡¯s eyes widened. The boulder was slowly lifted! Even City Lord Xeno, who was seated on the platform, couldn¡¯t help but stand up excitedly. He really lifted it up! 600 kilograms! However, this was not the end yet. Since Serre had decided to be in the limelight, there was no way he was going to give a strong start but weak finish. His body continued to sink downwards as cracks appeared on the stone slab beneath his feet. Both his feet had actually sunk into the stone platform! As for his arms, they were bulging with astonishing veins. His muscles bulged visibly, making him look full of power. At the next moment, under everyone¡¯s surprised gaze, Serre slowly lifted the huge rock over his head. Instantly, the crowd erupted into loud cheers. This was Blood Roar City¡¯s best record! No one had ever lifted such a heavy boulder. It wasn¡¯t just Blood Roar City. Even in the entire orc race, there were probably not many people who could achieve this! There were even some who asserted that, no one would be able to break this record within a hundred years. Xeno¡¯s face was also flushed upon seeing this. His son was so powerful. Hence, as his father, he naturally felt very proud. Right then, Xeno already couldn¡¯t help but clap on the high platform. His eyes were filled with affection. Another loud thud. The boulder was dumped onto the stage by Serre. The huge rock sank about 20 centimeters into the stone platform instantly, creating a huge pit. Everyone was flabbergasted when they saw this. Judging from this, the boulder indeed weighed 600 kilograms. There was definitely nothing fake about it. At that moment, Serre basked in the limelight. Some people had even changed his title of ¡®Blood Roar City¡¯s Number One Warrior¡¯ to ¡®Orcs¡¯ Number One Warrior¡¯. Gradually, the crowd started to start chanting the slogan ¡°The Strongest Orc¡±. Serre¡¯s face was full of pride as he listened to the support of the commoners, as if the whole world was already beneath his feet. As for Xeno, he pointed at the breastplate on his chest and said loudly, ¡°Today, whoever can surpass my son will be rewarded!¡± ¡°I shall bestow this armor to him on the spot!¡± Hearing that, everyone was even more shocked. The armor that City Lord Xeno was wearing wasn¡¯t ordinary armor. This was the ¡°Silver Dragon Armor¡± that Xeno had snatched after personally killing the Storm¡¯s City¡¯s human city lord. Of course, there was naturally a huge difference between the size of humans and Orcs, and Orcs were not as good at forging as the dwarves. Thus, this silver-white armor became similar to a breastplate when it was worn on Xeno. However, although the armor was small, it didn¡¯t conceal the fact that it was a rare treasure. Everyone¡¯s eyes shone with greed as they looked at that armor. However, no one dared to challenge him. The reason was very simple. There was no way they could defeat him. This so-called additional reward was merely a way for City Lord Xeno to help his son establish his authority. If there was really a risk of someone surpassing Serre¡¯s results, City Lord Xeno wouldn¡¯t be so ¡°generous¡±. Just when everyone was certain that no one would go up on stage to challenge him, a weak voice sounded from the crowd. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I won¡¯t stand on ceremony then!¡± Chapter 4 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Upon hearing this, the crowd below the stage automatically parted to make way. A thin figure slowly walked out from the tall orc commoners. The commoners all weighed about 150 to 200 kilograms and were over two meters tall. However, this thin and weak ¡°orc¡± only weighed 100 kilograms and was 1.9 meters tall. Among the orcs, he was an out-and-out dwarf. However, it was this weakest orc who said these extremely arrogant words! ¡°Mitchell, this is not a place that you should come to. Get back right now!¡± After seeing the face of the newcomer, Xeno¡¯s originally happy expression became extremely sullen. It was actually his most useless third son! He¡¯d never wanted Mitchell to appear together with him in front of anyone. As he felt that Mitchell was a stain on his life! To him, giving birth to such a useless son was an extremely shameful thing. He felt ashamed whenever anyone saw him. He thought it was already very benevolent of him not to kill this useless son of his. Unexpectedly, this trash still dared to appear in front of everyone. Even worse, he¡¯d threatened to break the record of his eldest son, Serre, whom he was most proud of. How arrogant! He was just a skinny and weak orc! How dared he dreamed of defeating the undefeated legend of 600 kilograms? In Xeno¡¯s eyes, this was clearly as ridiculous as a baby saying he wanted to slay a dragon. *** Mitchell¡¯s expression remained unchanged as he looked at Xeno¡¯s disdainful face. He simply said calmly, ¡°Oh? City Lord Xeno doesn¡¯t want me to participate. Could it be that you are afraid that I will get your armor if I defeat your eldest son?¡± ¡°Impudent!¡± Xeno couldn¡¯t hide his anger at Mitchell¡¯s words. He was not only angry at Mitchell¡¯s arrogant words. What made him even angrier was that Mitchell actually called him City Lord Xeno! He was Mitchell¡¯s father. How could a son call his father that? Of course, in Xeno¡¯s opinion, it was perfectly reasonable for him not to acknowledge this son. But if Mitchell refused to acknowledge him as his father, that would be treason! Just as Xeno was about to send someone to chase Mitchell out, he sneered. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Is there anyone who isn¡¯t allowed to participate in this Strength Competition?¡± There was a slight commotion in the crowd when these words were spoken. Indeed, this had always been the case. As long as they were an orc from Blood Roar City, they could participate in the Blood Roar City¡¯s Strength Competition. No one had ever broken this rule before. To the orcs, their pedigree wasn¡¯t important. As long as you have the strength, even if you come from a humble family, you can be placed in an important position and be respected by everyone. But if you were a weakling, then even if you were the son of the city lord, others would only give you some face on the surface, but in reality, they would not respect you. Everyone had naturally heard about Mitchell. Although no one would talk about it normally as they were afraid of angering City Lord Xeno, they had all secretly discussed this matter in private. They all agreed that Xeno had a useless half-orc son who was a disgrace to Blood Roar City. But that was in the normal times. Now it was different. Although everyone looked down on Mitchell, since Mitchell was also a member of Blood Roar City, he could totally participate in the Strength Competition! ¡°Let him go!¡± No one knew who started it, but many people in the crowd started shouting. ¡°Let him go!¡± ¡°Let him go!¡± ¡°Let him go!¡± Gradually, the crowd started chanting in unison. This scene was exactly the same as the one before. However, everyone was speaking up for Serre earlier, but now, it was for Mitchell. In the eyes of the simple-minded orcs, they respected Serre only because he was strong and powerful. It had nothing to do with his identity as the son of the city lord. They usually looked down on Mitchell, but it also had nothing to do with his orc bloodline. It was only because Mitchell was too weak. But now, the orcs spoke up for Mitchell for the sake of fairness. In the orc tribes, the strong reigned supreme! As long as you are strong, we will submit to you. Since that was the case, how could he stop others from displaying their strength? *** Looking at the agitated crowd below the stage, Serre rolled his eyes and said to Xeno, ¡°Father, Third Brother is still a part of our Blood Roar City. Since he wants to challenge my results, let him try. Otherwise, our brethrens in the Blood Roar City would not be convinced.¡± The commoners immediately agreed with what Serre said. Many of them agreed loudly. A father knows his son best. By now, of course Xeno understood what Serre meant. Now that all the residents of the Blood Roar City were watching, it would be unreasonable to not let him compete. As for Mitchell, if this piece of trash wanted to embarrass himself, then they shall let him. Anyway, when Mitchell called him ¡°City Lord Xeno¡±, he had already taken the initiative to draw a clear line between them. They wouldn¡¯t be the ones who would be embarrassed. And when Mitchell¡¯s challenge failed and he was despised by everyone, Xeno could then openly declare that he and Mitchell would no longer be father and son. And then, wouldn¡¯t it be killing three birds with one stone? Not only would he stabilize the hearts of the people, he would also demonstrate how powerful Serre was. At the same time, he could also draw a clear line between himself and this trash. If he thought about it that way, there were indeed no disadvantages. As to whether Mitchell would succeed in his challenge, that wasn¡¯t within Xeno¡¯s consideration. If Mitchell could lift a boulder weighing more than 600 kilograms, Xeno would even willingly resign from his position as the city lord on the spot. Thinking of this, Xeno smiled confidently and said, ¡°Since Mitchell wants to challenge my son, Serre, then let him give it a go. However, if you embarrass yourself here, don¡¯t blame me for being hard on you!¡± These words were spoken with absolute certainty, without the slightest bit of reluctance or hesitation. From the distinct ways that Xeno addressed his two sons, it was really obvious that Xeno really looked down on his son Mitchell. However, the crowd simply didn¡¯t care about that. They only cared if Mitchell could succeed in his challenge. Soon, all eyes were on Mitchell. And Serre had also stepped aside silently, ready to watch Mitchell make a fool of himself. As he watched Mitchell walk up the stage, Serre smirked, ¡°Trash, do you want a lighter stone? How about this, I¡¯ll give you a 250-kilogram one. And I will consider you to have won if you can lift a stone weighing 250 kilograms?¡± Hearing that, the crowd below burst into laughter. Obviously, no one believed that Mitchell could lift a 600-kilogram boulder. Speaking up for him earlier was only to uphold the rule of fairness. Everyone in Blood Roar City knew how weak Mitchell was. However, while everyone was not optimistic about his chances, Mitchell said calmly, ¡°Yes, I would like to change it, but not to a 250-kilogram one. Get me a 1000-kilogram boulder!¡± Chapter 5 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The crowd immediately fell silent. Everyone looked at Mitchell with strange looks, as if they were looking at a retard. 1,000 kilograms? Are you sure you¡¯re not joking? Hearing Mitchell¡¯s arrogant words, Xeno couldn¡¯t but help say angrily, ¡°Mitchell, this isn¡¯t the place for you to fool around! Don¡¯t even mention 1,000 kilograms. If you really have the ability¡­¡± At that, Xeno paused and pointed at the boulder on the stage, ¡°If you really have the ability, show me that you can lift this 600-kilogram boulder first. I¡¯ll consider you to have won if you can lift it!¡± Upon hearing Xeno¡¯s words, Serre also sarcastically mocked at the side, ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking. Where are we going to find a 1,000-kilogram boulder? I think you¡¯re just boasting here. You¡¯re just playing to the gallery.¡± Mitchell didn¡¯t respond to Serre¡¯s words. He simply gave him a sideways glance. The meaning in his eyes was clear: Idiot. However, Serre the retard, did not understand the meaning behind his gaze and continued to mock him. ¡°What¡¯s going on now? Did I expose your thoughts, so you don¡¯t know what to do now? Wasn¡¯t you great at bragging? The 600-kilogram boulder is right here. Lift it up. Come on, lift it up.¡± Xeno, who was on the platform, did not feel embarrassed at all when he listened to Seret¡¯s words. Instead, he smiled in satisfaction. Obviously, he thought so too. In his eyes, that useless son of his was just a clown. Don¡¯t even talk about 1,000 kilograms. If he really had the ability, why didn¡¯t he make a move and show everyone that he could lift this 600-kilogram boulder first? Just as he was thinking of that, he saw Mitchell slowly walking towards the boulder on the stage. At this moment, the commoners below the stage also began to reveal astonished expressions. Soon, their surprise turned into excitement and agitation. It wasn¡¯t because they found Mitchell¡¯s behavior to be heroic. On the contrary, they were hoping that Mitchell would be exhausted and then crushed by the boulder. If they were able to witness such a bloody scene, then their trip to the Strength Competition wouldn¡¯t have been in vain. What else could be more exciting to the orcs than blood? As Mitchell approached closer to the boulder one step at a time, the commoners became more and more restless. All of them could not help but let out low growls. Countless pairs of glowing red eyes were staring at Mitchell¡¯s frail body. If Mitchell dared to back down at this point, they would definitely swarm over and tear this piece of trash into pieces to vent their restlessness and bloodthirstiness. Finally, Mitchell reached the boulder. And the commotion among the orcs had reached its peak. Heavy breathing could be heard from below the stage. Even Serre, who was preparing to watch a good show, was influenced by the crowd. His eyes had turned bloody red. If Mitchell were to take a step back, he would be the first to rush forward before anyone else. He would tear this useless Mitchell into two halves! *** Mitchell slowly surveyed his surroundings. He looked at the crowd that couldn¡¯t wait to devour him, and that stupid brother next to him. Not only did he not show any intention of retreating, he even smirked. At that moment, he had already fused with the ant¡¯s genes and obtained ten times the strength. With his 100-kilogram weight, lifting this 600 kilograms small rock would be as easy as a piece of cake. After looking around, Mitchell shifted his gaze back to the boulder and said loudly, ¡°You good-for-nothings, open your eyes wide and watch carefully!¡± Then, under everyone¡¯s gaze, Mitchell simply reached out one hand to grab a protrusion at the edge of the boulder. Meanwhile, his other hand was calmly placed behind his back, as if he didn¡¯t intend to use it. Everyone was shocked to see this scene. Mitchell actually intended to lift this 600-kilogram boulder with one hand? That was 600 kilograms! Even Serre, ¡°The Strongest Orc¡±, had to use both hands and all his strength before he could barely lift this boulder. Furthermore, it had only lasted five seconds before Serre had to dump the rock onto the stage. Everyone could tell that even Serre would find it hard to press on. And now, this useless orc Mitchell was actually planning to challenge Serre¡¯s record with one hand. This was equivalent to treating everyone as idiots. The crowd became even more restless immediately. There were already people who almost couldn¡¯t wait to rush onto the stage to tear Mitchell into pieces. If you want to show your strength on stage, we will support you even if you are trash. However, if you treated the Strength Competition as a game and treated all the residents of Blood Roar City as idiots, then you will be the enemy of the entire Blood Roar City! That was what everyone was thinking. Everyone was waiting patiently for Mitchell to fail. However, right at that moment, a scene that caused everyone¡¯s jaws to drop, happened. There was no huge commotion and no preparation. There was not even a single sign. Mitchell, the well-known half-orc trash in Blood Roar City, simply lifted the boulder just like that. 600 kilograms! Single-handedly! Lifted it straight up! After a brief moment of shock, all the residents cheered. Meanwhile on the stage, Xeno¡¯s eyes were even shining with greed! While beside him, Serre fell to the ground in shock and muttered to himself. ¡°How is this possible? How could this trash have done it?!¡± Before he could finish his sentence, something even more shocking happened. It was as if Mitchell wasn¡¯t going to give up until he scared the lights out of everyone. He was actually holding the 600-kilogram boulder in one hand and walking around casually! It was completely different from the strained look on Serre¡¯s flushed face earlier. Mitchell only had a casual look on his face at this moment. Only one word could be used to describe him from head to toe: calm! Mitchell¡¯s left hand was still behind his back while his right hand was holding the corner of the boulder like a toy. His 1.8 meters height seemed so small next to the huge rock. However, there was no change in his expression. He walked along the edge of the stage one step at a time and the stone stage beneath his feet was not damaged at all. If it had been Serre, he would have already created one pit after another under his feet. No, if it were Serre, he wouldn¡¯t be able to carry the boulder and walk at all! The audience erupted into loud cheers. At this moment, Mitchell had completely conquered everyone with his strength! As for Serre, no one cared about him anymore. In the eyes of the residents of Blood Roar City. Mitchell was the real ¡°Strongest Orc¡±! Chapter 6 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Seeing this, Serre collapsed to the ground. He subconsciously turned to look at his father, hoping that his father would say a few words to salvage his dignity. What he saw, however, was Xeno¡¯s glowing eyes. Obviously, his father only had eyes for Mitchell now. Now, Serre was in complete despair. Everything he had accumulated would be lost from now on. They would be all taken by Mitchell. *** At this moment, Mitchell had already circled the stage once. Mitchell only gently placed the 600-kilogram boulder on the stage when the cheers reached their peak. The entire process was extremely quiet. Not a single sound was made. Not to mention damaging the arena. This time, it was obvious who was stronger. Serre had been a spent force when he lowered the boulder. If he did not put it down quickly, his body would be damaged by the huge weight. That was why he had hurriedly thrown down the boulder and even damaged the stone platform. Meanwhile, Mitchell didn¡¯t just walk around the ring. Even when he raised the boulder up and put it down, it was done casually without any signs of strain. In comparison, Mitchell had won. The difference between using one hand and two hands. The difference in the length of time. The difference between walking and standing. There was also the difference between their states and movements. Mitchell had completely defeated Serre in every detail. At this moment, everyone regarded Mitchell as the hero of Blood Roar City. Including Xeno! How could he have imagined that his useless third son would have such a huge change? Come to think of it, how long had it been since he last visited his son? Five years? Or ten? It had been so long that Xeno himself could hardly remember. In this case, it was normal for him not to understand Mitchell¡¯s progress. Xeno no longer looked down on Mitchell at this moment. He was gazing at Mitchell like he was his precious son! Looking at Mitchell, Xeno¡¯s face was full of love. Just as he was about to speak, someone below the stage shouted, ¡°Hurry up and let the Third Prince try the 1,000-kilogram boulder!¡± This voice seemed to remind everyone. And everyone reacted immediately. That¡¯s right! Mitchell had just declared that he wanted to lift a 1,000-kilogram boulder. Such a scene would probably be hard to come by in one¡¯s lifetime. There would be no next time if they missed this opportunity. Immediately, everyone started shouting in unison. ¡°1,000 kilograms!¡± ¡°1,000 kilograms!¡± ¡°1,000 kilograms!¡± *** Seeing how excited the orcs were below the stage, Xeno was also extremely excited. He said to Mitchell with concern, ¡°Mitchell my son, do you need a break?¡± Mitchell looked at Xeno at that and he was sneering inwardly. He had just called himself a piece of trash, but now he became ¡°my son¡±. It was the same for everyone below the stage. They had just called him Mitchell, but now he was the Third Prince. What a great Blood Roar City! Of course, these were only Mitchell¡¯s thoughts. There was no need for him to voice everything out. Despite his sneer, Mitchell didn¡¯t show any emotion. He only said calmly, ¡°What¡¯s the reward if I can lift 1,000 kilograms?¡± That got Xeno. He had already made a promise to give the Silver Dragon Armor to whoever could defeat Serre, that piece of trash. Moreover, he had said it himself. As long as Mitchell could lift this 600-kilogram boulder, he would be considered as the victor. In other words, this Silver Dragon Armor already belonged to Mitchell. It wasn¡¯t that Xeno couldn¡¯t bear to give him a reward. Xeno admired Mitchell so much now. However, he really had nothing else that was more precious than this armor. So, at that moment, Xeno actually felt troubled. But now, all the residents of Blood Roar City were in a state of excitement. Without a reward, it would be hard to convince the masses. Having no choice, Xeno said, ¡°How about this, as long as you can lift 1,000 kilograms for all to see. You can have anything you want from my collection.¡± Mitchell smiled at that and said brightly, ¡°Alright! I don¡¯t care about other treasures, I only want one!¡± Xeno quickly asked, ¡°Just tell me which is the one that you like, my son.¡± The crowd below the stage also perked up their ears as they wanted to hear what Mitchell was interested in. ¡°It¡¯s simple. It¡¯s the pet you keep.¡± The crowd were stunned. Pet? Did City Lord Xeno have a pet? Naturally, no one knew about this. Even if others did not know, how could Xeno, who had raised it himself, not know? Although he had raised it for decades and had developed feelings for it, as long as he could buy Mitchell¡¯s heart with it, it would be worth it. Xeno immediately waved his hand and said loudly, ¡°No problem!¡± Mitchell only smiled after he received Xeno¡¯s approval. After obtaining the ¡°God-Level Fusion System¡±, Mitchell was in fact already planning on how to get Xeno¡¯s pet. He did not expect it to be so easy. ¡°In that case, I won¡¯t stand on ceremony. Someone, bring a 1,000-kilogram boulder!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the warriors in charge of carrying the boulder looked at each other and said with some difficulty, ¡°Third Prince, where are we going to find a 1,000-kilogram boulder in Blood Roar City?¡± Upon hearing this, the residents came to a realization. That¡¯s right! Where were they going to find a 1,000-kilogram boulder in Blood Roar City? However, no one was willing to miss out on a 1,000-kilogram performance. Everyone below the arena was scratching their heads anxiously as they didn¡¯t know what to do. On the stage, Mitchell was amused by the anxious looks of the audience. Orcs were indeed simple-minded idiots. Seeing that no one could figure the problem out, Mitchell had no choice but to remind them. ¡°If you guys carry over two boulders that weigh 1,000 kilograms each, doesn¡¯t that add up to 2,000 kilograms?¡± Everyone finally understood after hearing Mitchell¡¯s words. He could lift one with each hand. 1,000 plus 1,000 would indeed be 2,000 kilograms. ¡°He is indeed the Third Prince. Not only is he strong, but he¡¯s also smart.¡± ¡°Yes, yes. The Third Prince is really amazing.¡± ¡°The glory of Blood Roar City!¡± After hearing these heartfelt compliments, Mitchell really felt that the situation was getting a little strange. He became their hero simply by suggesting such a simple solution? Soon, two 1,000-kilogram boulders were carried up by eight orc warriors. They were also very considerate to place them on both sides of Mitchell so that it was easier for him to lift them later. Indeed, after displaying his strength, their attitude towards him changed. However, Mitchell did not care about these orcs¡¯ admiration. He did all of that just to get the reward. ¡°You good-for-nothings! Watch this!¡± Chapter 7 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The orcs below the stage were not displeased to hear Mitchell¡¯s insulting words at all. Instead, they became excited. In their eyes, it was simply perfect for such a warrior to call them good-for-nothings! Not only was it appropriate, Mitchell¡¯s behavior was, in fact, the epitome of a warrior. Looking at the excited expressions of the audience, Mitchell didn¡¯t say much. He grabbed a corner of the boulders with both hands right away. Immediately after, his muscles tightened and both his hands exerted strength together. With an ear-piercing whistling sound, the two huge rocks were lifted up by Mitchell, one on each side. As he watched as Mitchell lifted two boulders over his head, Xeno could no longer hide his excitement. ¡°Great! ¡°Great! ¡°Great!!!¡± In his excitement, he actually said ¡°great¡± three times in a row! With such a son, his status in the orc race would definitely soar! Small debris began to fall from the boulders onto the stage. On the other hand, Mitchell stood motionless on the stage without any sign of strain on his face. This time, all the residents below the stage went crazy. It was like seeing a god when they looked at Mitchell on the stage. The orcs¡¯ belief was strength. An extremely simple yet powerful strength! They believed that all techniques were meaningless when facing with absolute strength. Mitchell had already broken their understanding of strength. In everyone¡¯s eyes, such an existence was no different from a god. He was the God of Orcs! Nobody knew who took the lead, but the Blood Roar City residents below the stage actually fell to their knees one by one and began to prostrate to Mitchell. Xeno saw that and he was extremely gratified. With Mitchell around, his rule could become even more secure. He could pass on his position to Mitchell in the future without any worry. At this moment, Xeno had already regarded Mitchell as his successor. He had completely forgotten how much he used to despise Mitchell. *** Mitchell set down two boulders steadily and looked up at Xeno, ¡°I¡¯ve already lifted two 1,000-kilogram boulders. I wonder when the reward will be given to me?¡± Upon hearing this, Xeno immediately stood up and said, ¡°Someone, bring out my pet and give it to my son!¡± The residents didn¡¯t know Xeno¡¯s pet. But Xeno¡¯s men of course did. Someone immediately ran to City Lord Xeno¡¯s palace. On the other hand, Xeno hurried over to Mitchell¡¯s side and patted his shoulder hard. He laughed and said, ¡°My son is so brave. We, orcs, will definitely conquer the entire continent in the future!¡± With that, he immediately took off his Silver Dragon Armor and helped Mitchell put it on. This Silver Dragon Armor was made according to a human¡¯s body. So it fitted Mitchell perfectly. On Xeno, it could only be used as a breastplate, but on Mitchell, it was truly the Silver Dragon Armor. Mitchell complimented the Silver Dragon Armor inwardly as he stroked its fine scales. Good armor! The residents all congratulated him when they saw that, ¡°Congratulations, City Lord. Congratulations, Third Prince!¡± *** Serre¡¯s eyes were about to spit fire when he saw that at the side. His father¡¯s love was originally his. The respect of the orcs was his. The Silver Dragon Armor should be his too. But now, all of them had been snatched away by Mitchell. A flame of jealousy began to burn in Serre¡¯s heart, and he could no longer suppress it. He slowly got up from the ground with bloodshot eyes. He suddenly lost his mind and pounced on Mitchell. Many below the stage saw that and immediately exclaimed, ¡°Third Prince, look out!¡± However, just as Mitchell was about to respond, someone beat him to it. He saw Xeno kick out without looking back, right into Serre¡¯s chest. The clash between the two of them was extremely powerful. Serre spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying. Looking at Serre who had fallen off the stage, City Lord Xeno snorted, ¡°Trash, who the heck are you? How dare you ambush my son Mitchell! Men, kill him on the spot! I don¡¯t have an unfilial son like you!¡± Even though Serre had lost to Mitchell, he was still considered very powerful. People would still respect him, and Xeno would also still treat him well. However, he actually wanted to harm the hero of Blood Roar City, Mitchell. This was different. In the eyes of everyone in Blood Roar City, such a person was a complete piece of trash! He had lost to Mitchell in terms of strength. Not only did he not admit defeat, he even did such a despicable thing. All the orcs could not stand it anymore! Upon receiving Xeno¡¯s order, the residents below the stage immediately swarmed up. It wasn¡¯t difficult for Serre to deal with these commoners initially. Even if there were a lot of them, he could definitely still hold out for a while. But now, after being kicked by Xeno, he was severely injured and had no way to resist at all. Before he was overwhelmed by the crowd, all Serre saw his father¡¯s cold eyes. *** Before long, Serre was beaten to death by the residents of Blood Roar City. His corpse was torn into pieces by the residents below the stage. Mitchell watched all that coldly on the stage. And Xeno didn¡¯t care. All he could see now was Mitchell. Only Mitchell was Xeno¡¯s pride. As for Serre, if he wanted to harm Mitchell, even his own son had to die! *** Soon, Xeno¡¯s subordinates brought the pet out. No one in the audience cared about Serre¡¯s death anymore. They all craned their necks to look ahead. Who would have thought that City Lord Xeno¡¯s pet was actually a huge tortoise!? At this moment, Xeno simply couldn¡¯t figure it out. There were so many treasures in his treasury. Although none could be compared to the Silver Dragon Armor, any one of them was still better than this pet. But when Mitchell saw the tortoise, his eyes lit up. That was because this turtle was no ordinary tortoise. It was a 10,000-year-old Xuanwu tortoise! That¡¯s right. This tortoise had already lived for 10,000 years! If such a tortoise was fused with his genes, who knew what kind of magical power he would gain. ¡°Mitchell, come here. I¡¯ll give this pet to you to raise in the future!¡± Xeno chuckled as he took the rope holding the tortoise from his subordinate. He turned and handed it to Mitchell. Mitchell took the rope and sneered, ¡°Thank you, City Lord Xeno.¡± Now, Xeno¡¯s expression changed drastically! He had already been so good to Mitchell. But Mitchell persisted in calling him as City Lord Xeno. Was he not even willing to call him father? At this thought, Xeno¡¯s expression became even more sullen. However, the Blood Roar City residents below the stage had already regarded Mitchell as a god. If he were to make things difficult for Mitchell now, Mitchell might even rebel on the spot. These residents would not hesitate to follow Mitchell to overthrow his rule. After figuring out the pros and cons, Xeno could only force a smile and gnash his teeth, ¡°You¡¯re welcome. You deserve it.¡± Then, Mitchell strutted away with the tortoise in his hand. At the same time, Mitchell began to plan. Now, it was time to find the creature he desired the most. Giant Dragon! Chapter 8 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations [Ding. Detected that Host has subdued the black tortoise. Do you want to merge?] ¡°Yes!¡± [Ding! Congratulations to Host for successfully fusing with the black tortoise and obtaining the genes¡ª10 Times Defense] Inside the cottage, Mitchell slowly closed his eyes, feeling the change inside him. His muscles became tighter and his skin became as hard as iron. Now, Mitchell probably wouldn¡¯t be hurt at all even if he was facing the sharpest sword in the world. After his body gradually stopped changing, Mitchell slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the Silver Dragon Armor on his body and laughed bitterly. To think that the treasure he had just earned would turn into something of little value! It was unappetizing but yet not bad enough to be thrown away. ¡°Fine. I¡¯ll just wear it first.¡± Just as he was pondering, someone knocked on the door. ¡°Please come in.¡± After receiving a response, the door was immediately opened. It was Chester. After Chester entered the house, he instinctively looked around and asked in puzzlement, ¡°Third Prince, where is the black tortoise?¡± ¡°I ate it.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Seeing Mitchell¡¯s calm expression, Chester cleared his throat and bowed, ¡°Congratulations to the Third Prince for winning the championship of the Strength Competition!¡± Mitchell hurried over to help Chester up. Chester was probably the only person in the entire Blood Roar City who had never underestimated Mitchell since he was young. So, Mitchell did have some feelings for Chester. Chester slowly looked up at Mitchell as he said emotionally, ¡°I never expected you would be so formidable, Third Prince.¡± ¡°Your old servant has misjudged you all these years.¡± Chester spoke without any flattery or tact. And Mitchell didn¡¯t mind either. He could naturally tell who had ill intentions in their words and who had good intentions in theirs. Mitchell smiled and said softly, ¡°Thank you for taking care of me all these years, Butler.¡± Chester waved his hand and said, ¡°In the future, the Third Prince will no longer need to be taken care of by this old servant. The King has already ordered me to bring the Third Prince to the palace. The Third Prince doesn¡¯t have to come back to this cabin anymore.¡± Upon hearing that, Mitchell¡¯s expression suddenly turned severe. It left Chester confused. ¡°Erm¡­ did I say something wrong?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s none of your business.¡± Mitchell shook his head and then said calmly, ¡°You go back first. I won¡¯t be going back. If the city lord asks about me, just tell him I¡¯m out traveling.¡± With that, Mitchell picked up the luggage that he had prepared and walked out of the cabin. Chester slowly sighed as he watched Mitchell walk away. Chester had seen how Xeno had treated Mitchell over the years. Although it was inappropriate to think that way, Chester had already treated Mitchell as his own son. Chester could understand Mitchell¡¯s current decision and wouldn¡¯t even think of stopping him. After a long while, Chester bowed deeply to Mitchell¡¯s retreating back. ¡°Have a safe journey, Your Highness.¡± *** Mitchell¡¯s accommodation was actually in a very poor location as he was not valued by Xeno. It was very close to the city gate. This kind of place was usually reserved for the people of the lowest caste in the city. That was because the orcs were a war-mongering race. They often started wars and had offended many other races. Hence, the orcs often had wars. Under such circumstances, the location near to the city gates was undoubtedly the most dangerous place. Sometimes, they would even be forced to act as temporary soldiers to defend against the enemy¡¯s attacks. Mitchell stood and looked at the city wall outside his door for a long time. Although he had only transmigrated to this world today, the memories in his mind were extremely realistic. Every detail seemed to have really happened to Mitchell. Hence, Mitchell, who was about to leave Blood Roar City, felt somewhat emotional. ¡°Goodbye, Blood Roar City.¡± Looking at the city wall, Mitchell said softly, as if he was bidding farewell to the land beneath his feet. After bidding farewell, Mitchell stepped out of the city gate and prepared to leave the Blood Roar City that he had grown up in. And right at that moment, an alarm sounded on the city gate. ¡°The enemy is attacking!¡± ¡°The enemy is attacking!¡± ¡°The enemy is attacking!¡± An enemy attack? Mitchell¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Did he have to encounter such an unlucky incident just as he was about to leave the Blood Roar City? Wasn¡¯t this too f*cking coincidental? However, Mitchell had already made up his mind to leave Blood Roar City. Therefore, the survival of Blood Roar City naturally had nothing to do with him any longer. He could just let the enemy attack go. As long as his safety was not compromised, Mitchell would not care at all. After thinking it through, Mitchell continued forward, preparing to leave this place. But Mitchell stood still after he had only taken a few steps. Looking out at the endless plain, Mitchell was slightly stunned. What happened to the enemy attack? Why wasn¡¯t there anyone here? In the very next second, there was a piercing sound. Mitchell¡¯s eyes narrowed before he raised his right hand and clenched it. A spear was firmly grasped in Mitchell¡¯s hand. Looking at the spearhead less than ten centimeters away from his face, Mitchell narrowed his eyes and then looked up at the sky. He only saw countless densely packed black figures in the sky that blotted out the sun. They were great in strength and impetus. No wonder there was no one on the ground. It turned out that the people who had come to attack were actually the Winged Man race. Instantly, a vicious look flashed across Mitchell¡¯s eyes. I don¡¯t want to cause trouble for you, but you came to provoke me. Now, don¡¯t blame me for being ruthless. Without any hesitation, Mitchell immediately turned his spear around and threw it at the sky with all his strength. With a sound that was even more piercing than the one before, the spear flew toward the winged people. With a poof, a defenseless winged man was pierced through by the spear and fell to the ground. As if it was a signal, the winged people in the sky immediately charged towards the lone orc on the ground with rage. Countless spears rained down from the sky. All of them aimed at Mitchell. Instantly, there was a clanging sound beyond the city gate. These spears seemed to have struck an extremely hard steel when they struck Mitchell¡¯s body. After a round of spears were thrown, Mitchell was completely unscathed! Looking at the winged people in the sky, Mitchell narrowed his eyes and sneered, ¡°You guys are done attacking, so it¡¯s my turn now!¡± Chapter 9 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°What? Enemy attack?¡± ¡°The Winged Man?!¡± Xeno in the palace was furious when he heard the news. The armrest of his golden chair was forcefully pried open by the extremely angry Xeno. ¡°Let¡¯s bring all the warriors to face the enemy!¡± ¡°No, We absolutely cannot do that, Father!¡± The usually quiet Second Prince suddenly stood up and said. Xeno frowned slightly and turned to look at his second son. ¡°The enemy is already at our gates, yet you still want to stop us. What are your intentions?!¡± The Second Prince Sear¡¯s eyes flashed with wisdom as he said, ¡°Father, We orcs are so brave and invincible. Those birdmen definitely won¡¯t dare to fight us in close combat. So, I expected them to launch long-range attacks at us from the sky. If we rashly bring all the warriors, we won¡¯t be of any help.¡± Upon hearing Sear¡¯s words, Xeno gradually calmed down. Although he was simple-minded, it did not mean that he was a retard. Seardid have a point. He could still tell that. He had only been paying attention to Xeno, so he had not realized that Sear had such wisdom. Xeno nodded in relief and asked, ¡°My son is indeed quick-witted. You get the situation instantly. Tell me, Sear. What should we do then?¡± Sear was taken aback when he heard Xeno. ¡°W-we¡­¡± Now, Xeno could already see that Sear had no way of solving the current predicament. After a long wait, Sear stammered, ¡°W-we can bring warriors who are good at archery to repel the enemy. Then, the rest of the warriors don¡¯t need to die. They will only be a hindrance.¡± With that, Sear seemed to think that he had handed in a satisfactory answer. He looked pleased with himself. However, Xeno looked at his useless son and asked coldly, ¡°Oh? Then tell me, who is good at archery in our Blood Roar City? Who knows how to make bows in our Blood Roar City?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± That silenced Sear completely. If orc warriors were to fight with swords or even fists, it was likely that no one in the entire continent would dare to face them head-on. But if the orc warriors were to compete with the others in archery. Perhaps, everyone on the continent would dare to bully them. For no other reason except the orcs were not good at this. This was the flaw in their genes. Xeno sighed in exasperation at Sear¡¯s speechless look. This son of his only knew how to theorize and didn¡¯t understand the actual situation at all. Where were they going to find the bows and arrows in their huge Blood Roar City?! ¡°Forget it. Let¡¯s bring all the warriors to fight the enemy first.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Sear lowered his head and replied softly. However, just as he was about to walk out of the door, he heard the guard¡¯s report again. ¡°Your Majesty, Your Majesty!¡± ¡°We¡¯ve great news!¡± Xeno frowned as he asked the guard coldly, ¡°The enemy is already at our gates. What great news can there be? If you dare to spout nonsense in front of me, I will immediately execute you!¡± Right then, Sear seemed to have found an opportunity to curry favor. He hurriedly took a step forward and stared at the guard with murderous intent. Sensing that the situation was bad, the guard hurriedly told the truth. ¡°Your Majesty, the Third Prince Mitchell is fighting outside the city and has already killed many enemies!¡± ¡°What?!¡± Xeno and Sear spoke in unison. ¡°How is that possible? How did that piece of trash deal with the Winged Men?¡± Sear¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. He had never heard that useless Mitchell being good at archery before! The guard explained, ¡°The Third Prince used the spears thrown by the enemy to counterattack. Although his aim was not very good, he still managed to kill many enemies!¡± ¡°What?¡± Sear was completely stunned. Using the enemy¡¯s weapon to counterattack? There was such a way of fighting?! He was about to say something when Xeno pushed him away and hurried out of the city. The guard wanted to go forward to help the second prince up, but he really did not dare to, so he could only leave with Xeno. It was only after some time before Sear recovered his wits on the ground. At this moment, Sear¡¯s eyes were practically spitting fire. Initially, he thought that since his eldest brother had been killed and his third brother had never been favored, he had finally made it to the top. Who knew that this bastard third brother would appear to steal his limelight again? Sear went on resenting Mitchell. He completely forgot that he hadn¡¯t actually been able to come up with any good advice to defend against the enemy himself. ¡°No. I have to go see how Mitchell does it. I can¡¯t lose to him even if I learn from him. Otherwise, Father will never value me!¡± With that thought in mind, Sear quickly got up and rushed to the city wall as fast as he could. Sear was completely shocked to see the scene before him. Xeno and all the warriors on the city walls were equally shocked. Beyond the city, there was an earth-shattering rain of spears. The spears in the sky were continuously thrown at Mitchell, who was below the city wall. Mitchell, on the other hand, kept grabbing the spear that had fallen beside him and throwing it back into the sky. Although Mitchell didn¡¯t aim at all and was just throwing randomly, the winged people in the sky were so densely packed that even if the spears were thrown randomly, they could occasionally kill a few of them. Meanwhile, those spear tips only made clunking sounds when they struck Mitchell¡¯s body. There was no damage done at all. Watching that scene, everyone was speechless. Mitchell was like a god of war! ¡°Marvellous! Marvellous!¡± Xeno watched that and excitedly pounded on the city wall. ¡°My son is actually fighting against the enemy alone and he is not at all disadvantaged. My son is brave!¡± The soldiers quickly echoed, ¡°The Third Prince is brave!¡± Sear saw his father compliment Mitchell again and knew that this wasn¡¯t the time for him to sing the opposite tune. Then, he thought of a solution with his ¡°high¡± IQ of 65. Since he couldn¡¯t suppress Mitchell now, he should hurry up and follow suit. Even if he couldn¡¯t win against Mitchell, at least he wouldn¡¯t be hated by his father. At the thought of this, Sear immediately shouted, ¡°Brother, don¡¯t panic. Second Brother will help you now!¡± After saying that, he jumped off the city wall, picked up the spear on the ground, and threw it into the sky. Xeno clapped his hands at the sight, ¡°My son, Sear, is so brave!¡± ¡°The Second Prince is brave!¡± the soldiers echoed again. Mitchell, on the other hand, looked at Sear as if he was an idiot. Are you really not afraid of death? You just jumped down like that. But Mitchell couldn¡¯t be bothered to remind that dumbass. He simply fought back on his own. Soon, the Winged Men in the sky also discovered him. The orc who was the first to come and counterattack at the beginning, could not be killed in a short while. Seeing that Sear had joined the battle, the Winged Men immediately reached a consensus and changed their target. Another round of spears was thrown, but this time it was aimed at Sear. Looking at the rain of spears flying towards him, Sear was not afraid at all. He had observed very carefully on the city wall earlier. These spears could not pierce through their orc¡¯s skin at all. At the thought that he would soon put on an invulnerable God of War pose too, Sear looked extremely pleased. However, he simply heard countless sniping sounds as those spears instantly pierced through Sear¡¯s body and turned him into a porcupine. Meanwhile, Sear still had a smug expression on his face even after he died. It was as if he was still very proud of his intelligence and wit. Chapter 10 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations As they looked at Sear lying on the ground with his body covered in spears, the people on the city walls fell into silence. No one expected the Second Prince to die right on the spot after jumping down with a loud roar. On the other hand, Third Prince Mitchell was still counterattacking without any injuries. At this moment, one of the guards shouted as if he suddenly realized something. ¡°I understand now. It¡¯s the Silver Dragon Armor! Because the Third Prince has the Silver Dragon Armor!¡± Hearing that, the others finally understood. It turned out that the Third Prince was unscathed because he had superior armor. Since that was the case, there was nothing strange about it. The simple-minded orcs accepted this explanation without any doubts, completely ignoring the fact that the other parts of the body that were not covered by the armor, were also unscathed when they were pierced by the spear. Although he had guessed the process wrongly, he had guessed the results accurately. At that moment, the Blood Roar City¡¯s soldiers had also realized that only Third Prince Mitchell could defend them against the enemy now. The orcs were a warlike race to begin with. Hence, when they saw the Third Prince killing the enemies alone, they were so anxious that they didn¡¯t know what to do. Nobody knew who started it. Gradually, the soldiers on the city walls began to take action. They started cheering Mitchell on. On the other hand, Xeno was looking at his half-orc son with love and hate. Previously, he was unwilling to accept him because he was too useless. But over the years, Mitchell had actually grown into a brave enough warrior, and yet he had never told him. But now Mitchell wasn¡¯t going to acknowledge him even when he was willing to acknowledge him as his son again. All of this distressed Xeno. At that moment, he could only watch his outstanding son fight alone. ¡°I have to win over Mitchell¡¯s heart, no matter the cost!¡± Xeno thought with narrowed eyes. *** Gradually, the winged men in the sky showed signs of fatigue. Their frequency of shooting gradually decreased. In the end, they simply stopped shooting and focused on avoiding Mitchell¡¯s counterattack. Mitchell¡¯s aim was not very accurate to begin with, and now that the Winged Men only cared about dodging him and not attacking, it was naturally even harder for him to hit them. But Mitchell kept fighting back, as if he didn¡¯t know fatigue was. Mitchell was a vengeful man. Previously, he did not intend to provoke these Winged Men, but they just had to provoke him. Since they had already become enemies, then he had to make them pay a painful price. The spears on the ground shot out one after another, but they could fail to hit the enemy every single time. The guards on the city walls were rather anxious as well. ¡°What should we do? They seem to be focused on avoiding the Third Prince¡¯s counterattack.¡± ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since the Third Prince last hit one.¡± ¡°We orcs are not good at shooting, so this battle is going to be tough.¡± Xeno was also a little worried as he listened to the discussions of the garrison. Even as the City Lord, he simply could not think of any way to defend against the enemy. After throwing out another spear, Mitchell ducked his head to replenish his ammunition. However, he had already used up all the spears on the ground! If he wanted to retrieve any spears again, he would have to go to the moat to retrieve them. Mitchell furrowed his brows slightly as he looked coldly at the Winged Men in the sky. Without much hesitation, Mitchell jumped into the moat. Since he had decided to fight, he would fight to the very end! He would not rest until he used up all the spears. With a poof, Mitchell retrieved a spear that had been lodged in the mud of the moat. Then, he heard the sound of splashing. The spear had stabbed a fish. Mitchell smiled bitterly at the fish which was still struggling. To the fish, this was an undeserved catastrophe. However, now was not the time for him to be emotional. Mitchell immediately turned around as he intended to launch another attack. At this moment, a system prompt appeared in his mind. [Ding. Detected that Host has subdued the Archerfish. Do you wish to merge?] ¡°Archerfish?¡± Mitchell was slightly taken aback as he looked at the fish stuck on the spear. The fish was light yellow and had black stripes on its body. Indeed, it was the Archerfish! Mitchell had seen information about this type of fish in his previous life on Earth. Although he couldn¡¯t remember the exact details, he still remembered their appearance and characteristics. Its appearance was just a simple yellow body with black spot, but its characteristics were very powerful. This kind of fish could spit with its mouth and it was extremely accurate when it attacked small bugs! ¡°Yes.¡± Delighted, Mitchell immediately chose to merge. As Mitchell chose to merge, the archerfish on the spearhead immediately turned into specks of white light and tunneled into Mitchell¡¯s glabella. [Ding. Congratulations on successfully fusing with the Archerfish, obtaining genes¡ªPrecision Shooting] After the fusion succeeded, Mitchell slowly closed his eyes and focused on sensing the changes in his body. Meanwhile, the soldiers on the city walls looked at each other. ¡°The Third Prince has jumped into the moat for so long. Why hasn¡¯t he come out yet?¡± ¡°Could it be that the Third Prince doesn¡¯t know how to swim?¡± With this discussion, everyone panicked. This was possible! Otherwise, why hadn¡¯t the Third Prince come out yet? Looking at the peaceful moat, everyone was dumbfounded. The invincible Third Prince Mitchell couldn¡¯t swim? And he drowned?! What was going on? ¡°Brothers, although we are not good at archery, we are not cowards who fear death. ¡°Those who are not afraid of death, follow me down and save the Third Prince from the moat!¡± Hearing the garrison captain¡¯s words, all the guards were fired up. They had been standing on the city wall and watching the Third Prince kill the enemies. They were already itching for a fight. Now that it was finally their turn, nobody was going to be a coward? Just as everyone was preparing to risk their lives to save Mitchell, a spear shot out from the moat at lightning speed! !!! A winged man in the sky only saw a black shadow flying towards him. Before he could react, his head was pierced through and shattered. And it wasn¡¯t only that. After the spear stabbed into the winged man¡¯s head, it continued to fly into the sky. Looking at the spear that was rapidly cutting through the air, every winged man was stunned in midair. They had no idea what was happening. But in the next second, they heard a series of piercing sounds. At the moment they turned to look at the ground, countless winged men were already pierced by the spears. They died right on the spot and fell to the ground weakly. Everyone finally reacted then. It was the orc from earlier! Everyone focused their attention on the ground again, ready to dodge at any moment. But something strange happened. No matter how they tried to dodge, the spear seemed to predict their movements and would always accurately hit their heads. That¡¯s right. Their heads! Not a single spear was deflected! Every one of them hit the winged men¡¯s head accurately. ¡°Retreat, retreat now!¡± As soon as the winged men¡¯s leader said that, a spear accurately pierced through his eye socket and out the back of his head. The winged men were completely terrified when they saw their leader being shot to death. In an instant, all the winged men felt as if they had fallen into an icy cavern. And the orc who kept throwing spears at them under the moat, he became a demon who killed without batting an eyelid, in their eyes now. Chapter 11 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The Winged Men had already begun to slowly retreat in the sky. The orc below was simply invincible. All the winged men had completely lost their will to fight. On the other hand, Mitchell¡¯s eyes were completely bloodshot with the intent to kill. ¡°Did I say you can leave?!¡± A furious roar rang through the skies, causing all the winged men to tremble in fear. They immediately sped up their escape. However, even though they were fast, the spears were faster! One spear after another flew out from the moat non stop. The speed was so fast that it was almost equal to the combined attack of all the winged men earlier. The spears that filled the sky chased after the fleeing winged men. One spear after another mercilessly pierced through the winged men¡¯s bodies. Seeing that his companions were being shot down one by one, one of the Wingmen shouted, ¡°Quick, let¡¯s split up in our escape!¡± Upon hearing this, all the winged men reacted and immediately fled in all directions. However, it was completely useless! Mitchell, who was still in the moat, kept throwing spears. Each spear struck a winged man with extreme precision. Regardless which direction the winged men flew in, it was useless. In the moat, Mitchell drew his last spear and squinted into the distance. Now, almost all the winged men in the sky had been killed. There was only one tiny black dot that could not be seen with the naked eye left, and it was still fleeing into the distance. Staring at the black dot, Mitchell squinted his eyes and took aim. The muscles in his arms tightened as the spear was thrown out. Then, everyone on the city wall heard an extremely ear-piercing sound. It almost shattered the eardrums of every orc. The spear flew into the distance at lightning speed. Shortly after, the black dot slowly descended. The sky returned to normal again as if nothing had happened. On the city wall, all the orcs were stunned. They watched Mitchell climb out the moat slowly. At this moment, Mitchell, was in his Silver Dragon Armor with the water droplets on his armor glistened under the sunlight. It made him look like a god that had just descended to the mortal world. One of the orcs gulped and gaped at Mitchell. He only muttered to himself after a long while, he muttered to himself, ¡°Light¡­¡± ¡°Blood Roar City¡¯s Light!¡± Soon after, cheers erupted. The entire city wall was filled with the same chant. ¡°Mitchell, Blood Roar City¡¯s Light!¡± Xeno¡¯s eyes narrowed when he saw Mitchell¡¯s heroic gesture. This kid had actually obtained a reputation that far exceeded his in a short span of a day. If this continued, his ruling status would become increasingly unstable. At this thought, he immediately adjusted his expression and put on a satisfied look. Although the orcs had low intelligence, Xeno was a city lord after all, so he was somewhat shrewd. Looking down at Mitchell, Xeno declared loudly, ¡°Son, you have done a great service for Blood Roar City. Blood Roar City will remember your honor! What reward do you want? Speak!¡± Upon hearing the words of City Lord Xeno, all the orcs looked at the hero excitedly. Mitchell, on the other hand, looked calmly at Zeno and said casually as if nothing had just happened, ¡°Forget about the reward. Just give me a suitable weapon.¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Xeno was troubled when Mitchell threw the question back to him. He only said that to win the hearts of his people and to show his magnanimity to the other warriors of the Blood Roar City at the same time. But that would be different when Mitchell asked him to give him any weapon. People would say that he was stingy if he gave him a poor one. But he couldn¡¯t bear to give him a good one either. Never mind about the armor that he had just used. In any case, the armor was too small for him. He only wore it to show off his battle achievements. Hence, he couldn¡¯t be giving Mitchell his personal mace again. What would he use himself if he gave it to him again? Just as he was feeling troubled, Chester approached him slowly and said cheerfully, ¡°Your Majesty, the Silver Dragon Armor was not the only loot you obtained when you attacked Storm City, right?¡± Hearing Chester¡¯s words, Xeno¡¯s face lit up. That¡¯s right! Didn¡¯t he still have that treasure?! With this in mind, Xeno immediately ordered happily, ¡°Someone, bring that Silver Dragon Spear from my treasury and give it to my son Mitchell!¡± ¡°Aye!¡± The name of the Silver Dragon Spear was known by all the warriors who had followed Xeno for some years. When Xeno killed the City Lord of Storm City, he had snatched more than his armor. He also took his opponent¡¯s weapon! However, this weapon was really not suitable for the orcs. It was fine if the shaft was too thin, but the shaft was only 1.8 meters long too. To an orc that was over two meters tall and three meters tall, it was no different from a tiny rod. However, just because other orcs couldn¡¯t use it, it didn¡¯t mean that Mitchell couldn¡¯t either. For Mitchell the half-orc, this Silver Dragon Spear was simply perfect for his size. After all, it was only a collector¡¯s item in his treasury, so he might as well give it to Mitchell. In addition, this Silver Dragon Spear had great significance. It was the proof of Xeno¡¯s glory in killing the Storm City¡¯s City Lord. Giving Mitchell this weapon would definitely gain him his loyalty. Soon, a warrior returned with the Silver Dragon Spear. In the hands of that ordinary warrior, the Silver Dragon Spear was indeed no different from a club. Xeno took the Silver Dragon Spear from the warrior and slowly walked out of the city. He chuckled at Mitchell heartily, ¡°Hahahaha. My son is really heroic and invincible! This Silver Dragon Spear is the spoils of war that I obtained when I killed the City Lord of Storm City. It has a great significance. However, I will give this Silver Dragon Spear to my son today!¡± With that said, he handed over the Silver Dragon Spear. At the same time, his eyes shone with a probing gleam. He wanted to know if Mitchell was willing to show his loyalty to him after his repeated attempts to bribe him. Mitchell looked at the 1.8 meters long silver spear and he was delighted. ¡°What a good spear!¡± Upon hearing this, Xeno smiled from the bottom of his heart again. As expected, Mitchell did like this reward. Then¡­ ¡°Thank you, City Lord Xeno. The City Lord is indeed generous!¡± Mitchell took the spear and cupped his hands to Xeno. At that, Xeno¡¯s smile froze completely. City Lord Xeno. It was still City Lord Xeno! He still didn¡¯t want to call him father. At this thought, the corners of Xeno¡¯s eyes twitched twice as he said softly, ¡°You deserve it. There¡¯s no need for formalities between us!¡± However, Mitchell didn¡¯t wait for him to finish his sentence before he turned around and left. City Lord Xeno was left standing beyond the city alone with a grim expression. Since I can¡¯t use this unfilial son of mine, I must get rid of him! Chapter 12 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Mitchell stopped and sat on a large rock for a rest in a dense forest. He took out some dry rations and water from his bag and started eating. His body had been doing that for so many years. Hence, he did not feel uncomfortable at all. As he ate, Mitchell tried to figure out where to go next. Of course, Mitchell hadn¡¯t forgotten his goal. Giant Dragon! There were dragons in this world. At least the memories of this body gave him that answer. However, he had never seen a dragon before. There seemed to be no news of dragons among the orcs. If he wanted to fuse with the dragon, he would have to ask around first. Storm City was right ahead, so perhaps he could find the answer there. *** Not far behind Mitchell, an orc squad followed him from a distance. The team stopped and hid themselves when they saw Mitchell stop. ¡°Captain, do we really have to do this?¡± One of the orcs seemed to be rather hesitant as he asked the captain who was much taller. The captain¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness as he said in a deep voice, ¡°This is King Xeno¡¯s order. Do you dare to go against it?¡± As soon as these words were spoken, the others didn¡¯t dare to have any objections. However, they were simply a little unwilling. After all, the orc tribes revered strength and power. And Mitchell had long won over all the orcs with his actions. In addition, Mitchell had just defeated the enemy for Blood Roar City and was a great hero of the city. It was simply too much to ask them to assassinate Mitchell. However, they still had to obey City Lord Xeno¡¯s orders. Moreover, Xeno¡¯s reason for doing it was ingenious. ¡°Mitchell that unfilial son has disrespected me so many times so he must be plotting a rebellion!¡± Nobody dared to disregard the word rebellion as soon as it was mentioned. As such, they could only obey and kill him. Actually, if this team had a different leader, they probably wouldn¡¯t have made a move. They could simply say that they were no match for Mitchell, or that Mitchell had escaped and returned to report their mission. However, this team leader was personally chosen by Xeno. He was the Second Prince, Sear¡¯s confidant. After a round of brainwashing by Xeno, this confidant totally believed that the death of the Second Prince, Sear, was Mitchell¡¯s fault. ¡°Think about it. His Second Brother went down to help him out of goodwill, but not only did he not protect his brother well, he didn¡¯t even give him a reminder. Mitchell has the Silver Dragon Armor, so he¡¯s naturally not afraid. But Sear was only wearing ordinary armor so how could he not be injured? From this, it seems like Mitchell is trying to kill the Second Prince on purpose!¡± This remark succeeded in persuading Sear¡¯s confidant, who was also the captain of this squad. Hence, in the captain¡¯s eyes, Mitchell was simply an evil person! His brother had come to help him, and yet he simply watched as his brother died. He was indeed malicious! Thinking of this, the captain¡¯s eyes turned red again as he whispered, ¡°Brothers, that traitor is resting now. It¡¯s our most convenient time. Let¡¯s take this opportunity to surround him. We must kill him in one strike!¡± The other four team members listlessly agreed. The team leader narrowed his eyes when he saw the unwillingness of his team members and then he finally understood. It seemed like none of these team members would really kill him. It seemed like he had no one else to depend on but himself! After thinking it through, the team leader immediately ordered them to surround him from the front while he went around to his back. While the other team members were drawing Mitchell¡¯s attention, he would take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. This way, he would definitely succeed. Since the captain had already made the plan so straightforward, and the others didn¡¯t dare to go against him either. Hence, they could only follow his orders and circle around. Soon, everyone was in position, and the captain was already two meters behind Mitchell. One more step and the captain could attack Mitchell! As he looked at the defenseless orc in front of him, the team leader immediately looked at the team members hiding in the bushes and gave the order. With a hand gesture, the team members looked at each other and jumped out from the bushes. That did get Mitchell¡¯s attention. Mitchell looked at the orcs who had jumped out of the bushes in front of him. He didn¡¯t look surprised as he continued to eat his rations. He knew Xeno would send someone to kill him. However, he did not expect these killers to jump right in front of him. Were these orcs being too straight forward? ¡°Aren¡¯t you guys being too amateurish for assassins? If you guys were into farming, Blood Roar City would already have plenty of food and clothing.¡± The orcs thought Mitchell would either panic or immediately react and prepare for battle. But they hadn¡¯t expected Mitchell to continue eating calmly while he talked to them. One of the Orcs answered instinctively, ¡°But Third Prince, we don¡¯t know how to farm.¡± The squad leader¡¯s eyes twitched when he saw this. Bastard, I asked you guys to attract his attention. Why are you guys still chatting? However, a hint of ruthlessness immediately flashed across the captain¡¯s eyes. Chatting was fine too. In any case, Mitchell¡¯s attention was indeed drawn. Now was the best time to strike! Immediately, the captain took a step forward and held his breath. Gripping the thick spear with both hands, he thrust it towards the back of Mitchell¡¯s head. Although the orcs were not intelligent, they were not completely retarded either. The captain knew that he could not aim at the Silver Dragon Armor. However, something unexpected happened. He saw the spearhead accurately pierced the back of Mitchell¡¯s head with a clang. Then, the spear was stuck against Mitchell¡¯s head, and he couldn¡¯t get it into his head at all. Not only did this strike fail to injure Mitchell, it even numbed his hands. The next moment, Mitchell slowly turned his head around. Looking at the pair of cold eyes in front of him, the captain couldn¡¯t help but shiver. This was a pair of eyes that were ready to kill him at any moment. He had no doubt that his head would hit the ground at any moment. *** Mitchell said calmly to the orc captain who had trembling legs, ¡°Are you trying to give me a tickle?¡± At the very next moment, Mitchell stretched out his hands, grabbed the handle of the spear, and gently bent it. With a crack, the handle of the spear broke. The orc captain¡¯s face turned pale instantly. Without further ado, Mitchell turned the spear around and stabbed it into the orc captain. Blood trickled down the orc captain¡¯s lips. He didn¡¯t even have time to say his last words before he was killed on the spot. The other members were all stunned to see their captain killed. What happened to a one-hit kill? Why were you the one to die first? Chapter 13 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Mitchell slowly turned around and looked at the orcs in front of him before he said calmly, ¡°Are you guys with him?¡± The orcs immediately shook their heads and waved their hands, ¡°No, no, no. Please calm down, Third Prince. We were ordered by King Xeno, so we had no choice.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. We actually admire you very much!¡± ¡°You are the great hero of Blood Roar City. Why would we plot against you?¡± After listening to their explanations, Mitchell slowly sat down and continued eating the dry food. While the orcs stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do. After Mitchell finished eating, one of the Orcs asked carefully, ¡°Third Prince, can we leave now?¡± Mitchell gently wiped his mouth before saying calmly at the people in front of him, ¡°When did I ever say that you can leave like this?¡± The orcs¡¯ faces turned pale upon hearing that. However, Mitchell¡¯s next words gave them an even greater shock. ¡°Help me get this message across when you guys get back.¡± ¡°Tell Xeno that, ¡®If you want to kill me, I, Mitchell, am always waiting for you.''¡± Stunned, one of the orcs asked instinctively, ¡°Just a message? And we can leave now?¡± Mitchell raised an eyebrow and smiled, ¡°If you want to die here, I don¡¯t mind giving you a ride.¡± The orc¡¯s face turned pale again as he hurriedly said, ¡°No, no, no. We¡¯ll go back right now and we¡¯ll definitely bring the message back for you.¡± With that said, they scrambled away. Watching their retreating backs, Mitchell shook his head slowly. I only wanted to leave. I have never expected Xeno would be so intolerant of me. Forget it. The next time someone comes, I will not be so merciful. Mitchell came to the body of the orc squad leader and slowly squatted down. He wanted to see if he could merge with the orcs. If possible, what would the effect be after the fusion? He had just placed his right hand on the corpse of the orc squad leader when the system prompt appeared in his mind. [Ding. Detected that Host has subdued the orc, do you want to merge?] Mitchell was rather surprised to hear this notification. He already had the bloodline of the orc race and to think that he could fuse with it as well. ¡°Yes.¡± There was nothing to hesitate about so Mitchell immediately chose to merge. Anyway, he already had the orc bloodline. Even if he did not improve after fusing with it, he would definitely not become weaker. [Congratulations to Host for successfully fusing with the orc and obtaining the gene¡ªTenfold Battle Intent] Mitchell was slightly surprised to hear this result. He also had the talent of fighting spirit too. However, as he was not a purebred orc, Mitchell had very little fighting spirit. But it was undeniable that Battle Intent was indeed a very powerful talent. With the will to fight, Mitchell would be able to have stronger battle instincts when he encountered battles in the future. No matter what, it would be better than nothing. After the light particles fused into his glabella, Mitchell slowly got up and prepared to move forward. However, misfortune never came alone. Another group of people had appeared in the forest in front of him again and were approaching him from the forest. *** ¡°Boss, there seems to be an orc in front!¡± One of the smaller men shouted, pointing at Mitchell. The bald human leader looked at Mitchell and frowned, ¡°Why are we so unlucky? It¡¯s actually an orc.¡± He said this not because he was afraid of the orcs¡¯ immense strength. It was because orcs often represented poverty. Generally speaking, it was always a thankless task when they encountered orcs. However, the bald leader looked at Mitchell carefully and smirked, ¡°This orc looks like a weakling who had developed poorly. Look at that small body of his. It¡¯s almost comparable to us humans.¡± The others looked at Mitchell after hearing him. Indeed, this orc was only about 1.8 meters tall, not much different from a human. Since they decided to be bandits, naturally their belief was to bully the weak and fear the strong. How could they not kill such trash since they bumped into one? Although this orc was a little poor, he still had some meat on him. Why should they let him escape when he sent himself to them? ¡°Kid, you¡¯re lucky to have met us today.¡± The bald leader revealed a sinister smile as he stroked the steel knife in his hand. Meanwhile, the other bandits had already slowly moved over and were smiling maliciously at Mitchell. Mitchell slowly surveyed his surroundings and said calmly, ¡°Oh. So, running into bandits is considered to be lucky now? This is the first time I¡¯ve heard of such logic.¡± As soon as he said that, the bandits burst into laughter. The bald leader said to the weak orc in front of him proudly, ¡°We made a killing today and are in a good mood, so we won¡¯t kill you then. You can live as long as you hand over your belongings. Isn¡¯t that lucky enough?¡± Mitchell smiled at the bald leader¡¯s words. ¡°I was just wondering why bandits bring carts along when you are out to rob people. Actually, it¡¯s because you¡¯ve stolen them. How about this? I¡¯m in a good mood today as well. As long as you leave this cart of things behind, I will let you live.¡± The smile on the bald leader¡¯s face froze. ¡°Kid, I think you still don¡¯t grasp the current situation. There are so many of us here, and you¡¯re alone¡­¡± ¡°And you¡¯re underdeveloped some more.¡± The lackey beside him took the opportunity to chime in. These words caused the bandits to burst into laughter again. Mitchell wasn¡¯t angry at all when he heard that. He simply pulled out his spear slowly and said calmly, ¡°I kept you alive out of kindness, but since you didn¡¯t appreciate my kindness¡­¡± With a whoosh, he pulled out the long spear completely and it was emitting a horrifying glow. ¡°¡­Then don¡¯t blame me for being ruthless!¡± Even then, these eleven bandits had yet to realize the severity of the matter. The bald leader stared intently at the Silver Dragon Spear in Mitchell¡¯s hand. His eyes were shining with greed. After being a bandit for so many years, the bald leader naturally had a good eye. He could tell at a glance that the spear in Mitchell¡¯s hand was valuable. Right then, the lackey also reminded him, ¡°Boss, that kid¡¯s armor seems to be valuable too!¡± The bald leader nodded slightly and his eyes were already completely blinded by greed. ¡°Since you refuse to take the easy way out, then you shall leave your life forever.¡± Chapter 14 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Before he started, Baldy sized up Mitchell carefully. He was 1.8 meters tall and weighed about 100 kilograms. There was no mistake. He was a weakling through and through. After the appraisal, the bald man was finally reassured. He stared viciously at Mitchell and waved his hand. ¡°Kill him!¡± Following the bald leader¡¯s command, the other bandits all pounced on Mitchell like a group of horny perverts pouncing on a naked beauty. However, Mitchell simply sneered and swung his spear. A cloud of bloody mist formed in midair. And the heads of a few bandits fell off at the same time. The bandits were all shocked to see that. Isn¡¯t this orc underdeveloped? Why is he so good at fighting? Before they could even react, Mitchell thrusted his spear out repeatedly. And the spear¡¯s silver beams shot out. In an instant, another few bandits were sent flying and they fell to the ground unmoving. They had only just started fighting and already more than half of the bandits had died in an instant. The bald leader wiped the blood off his face as he stared blankly at Mitchell. This was no weakling. This was clearly a ferocious tiger! Just as he was in a daze, a few more air-piercing sounds appeared. And several of his companions let out horrifying screams simultaneously. In just a few breaths, all ten of his subordinates were dead! Staring at the corpses all over the ground and the murderous Mitchell, the bald leader finally felt fear. That was the fear that one felt when he was facing death! With a thud, the bald leader immediately fell to his knees. ¡°Spare me. Please spare me¡­¡± The bald leader¡¯s head flew out before he could even finish his sentence. Mitchell stared at the bodies strewn across the floor with an impassive expression. Previously, he was willing to spare those orcs¡¯ lives because he knew very well that those soldiers were simply following Xeno¡¯s orders and they didn¡¯t attack him. But these bandits were different. They were simply doing this for their own selfish desires. Mitchell would not be affected regardless how many such people he killed. Because they deserved to die! [Ding. Detected that Host has killed a human. Do you want to fuse?] ¡°Yes.¡± [Ding. Congratulations on successfully fusing with humans and obtaining gene¡ªElemental Affinity] Then, specks of white light flew out from the corpse on the ground and entered Mitchell¡¯s glabella. However, he felt slightly different this time round. Mitchell realized that it wasn¡¯t just the interior of his body that had changed, his appearances seemed to have changed too. However, there was no river nearby and Mitchell didn¡¯t have a mirror with him. Therefore, he had no idea what had happened to him. Since he couldn¡¯t resolve it now, Mitchell wasn¡¯t going to dwell on it. He came to the cart behind the bandits and shook his head as he looked at the cart full of gold, silver, and jewels. It seemed that these bandits had really done something big today. It was a pity that he killed them before they could get to enjoy them. Mitchell wasn¡¯t interested in the cart full of jewels. There was nowhere for him to spend the money even if he wanted to keep all of these. Furthermore, these things were simply a burden to bring along with him. Thinking of that, Mitchell decided to leave right away. However, just as Mitchell was about to move, the Silver Dragon Armor on his body began to glow faintly in the very next second! It wasn¡¯t just the Silver Dragon Armor, even the Silver Dragon Spear in his hand began to glow. Now, that got Mitchell curious. What exactly was in the cart that could make his weapon and armor react like this? Perhaps, there was something else that was made from the corpse of the silver dragon in the cart? With that thought in mind, Mitchell decided to rummage around. It would be his gain if he could find something useful. With a thud, Mitchell kicked the cart over. The gold and silver jewels on the cart were spilled all over the floor, but Mitchell simply ignored them. Then, a silver ball rolled out of the pile of gold and silver the very next second. Mitchell took a double look and then he was startled. This was no ball. This was clearly an egg! A silver dragon egg! At that moment, even Mitchell felt a little excited. To think that he had just been worrying about how to find a dragon, and now he had obtained a dragon egg right away. One had to know that a fierce battle was inevitable even if Mitchell had found the dragon. He had to subdue or kill the other party before he could fuse with it. However, if it was just a baby dragon, the difficulty would definitely be greatly reduced. This dragon egg was, in fact, much more valuable than the entire cart of gold, silver, and jewels. Mitchell walked over to the silver dragon egg and bent down to pick it up. Just as they were about to merge, the eggshell suddenly cracked. Mitchell was slightly taken aback. The egg that he had just obtained was hatching just like that? That was fine too. Juvenile dragons were definitely better than dragon eggs. That would be a huge loss if he fused with the dragon egg and gave himself an ¡°eggshell gene¡±. With that thought in mind, Mitchell held the silver dragon egg and patiently waited for the baby dragon to hatch. Finally, the cracks on the eggshell became more and more concentrated, and the movement inside the eggshell also became more and more pronounced. Mitchell looked at the egg excitedly. He already couldn¡¯t help but guess what kind of genes he would obtain after fusing with the silver dragon. In the very next second, a soft thud appeared on the egg. A piece of egg shell was finally broken. Then, pieces of eggshells started to fall off one after another, revealing what was inside. A young silver dragon could be seen licking the egg¡¯s liquid on its body. Mitchell¡¯s eyes lit upon seeing that. There was no mistake. It was indeed a silver dragon! [Ding. Detected that Host has subdued the silver dragon. Do you want to merge?] As usual, without any hesitation, Mitchell immediately said, ¡°Ye¡­¡± Before he could voice out the last syllable, a tender voice interrupted him. ¡°Mama!¡± Mitchell was slightly taken aback and he began to look around. There was no one else! ¡°Forget it. Let¡¯s not bother about that for now.¡± Mitchell looked at the little guy in his hand and took a deep breath before he spoke again, ¡°Ye¡­¡± ¡°Mama!¡± ¡°Damn. Who is it?!¡± Mitchell was interrupted again. He looked around angrily, but he still couldn¡¯t see anybody. Just as he was about to begin the fusion again, the little silver dragon flapped its wings and stood up clumsily. Its big watery eyes were fixed on Mitchell. ¡°Mama!¡± ¡°Mama!¡± ¡°Mama! Mama! Mama!¡± Mitchell was completely stunned. This little dragon was actually calling him mama? Mitchell couldn¡¯t bring himself to lay a hand on a baby who called him mama. He looked at the little silver dragon and instinctively explained, ¡°Have a good look. I¡¯m not your mother!¡± The little silver dragon seemed to understand Mitchell¡¯s words and nodded obediently. That put Mitchell at ease. If it didn¡¯t call him mother, he would be able to do it. However, the little silver dragon shouted out again, ¡°Papa!¡± ¡°¡­¡± I¡¯m still a virgin, yet I¡¯m already a father?! Chapter 15 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Mitchell was completely dumbfounded as he stared at the little silver dragon in front of him. He was different from that animal, Xeno. Mitchell knew he couldn¡¯t just kill someone who called him papa. No, not even dragons. The little silver dragon in front of him flapped its wings as it flew for a few seconds. Even though it would tumble onto Mitchell¡¯s hand after flying for a few seconds, all this was sending a message to Mitchell. This was a child. This child was alive and kicking. This lively child had called him papa. The system notifications kept sounding repeatedly. [Ding. Detected that Host has subdued the silver dragon. Do you want to merge?] [Ding. Detected that Host has subdued the silver dragon. Do you want to merge?] [Ding. Detected that Host has subdued the silver dragon. Do you want to merge?] The prompts were urging Mitchell to make a decision. But Mitchell couldn¡¯t bring himself to say that simple ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°This is f**king against the rules. How could I do that!¡± Mitchell held his forehead and sighed helplessly. Meanwhile, that little silver dragon tilted its head and looked at Mitchell, as if it didn¡¯t understand what Mitchell was talking about because the words were too complicated for it. ¡°Papa!¡± Looking at the cute baby dragon that was staring at him with its big eyes, Mitchell gave up completely. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll just take it to be my pet.¡± Mitchell sighed and shook his head with a wry smile. Then, he saw the little silver dragon turn its head and eat the eggshell behind it. Mitchell was curious about that. Would a dragon eat its own egg after it was born? In any case, since he was in no hurry now, Mitchell observed it with great interest. The little silver dragon ate the eggshell bite by bite and it seemed very satisfied. An eggshell which was about the size of a human head, was quickly eaten by the little silver dragon. After the little silver dragon satisfied its appetite, it laid down on Mitchell¡¯s hand satedly. Mitchell wasn¡¯t happy about that. ¡°Get up. Why are you sleeping on my hand?¡± With that, Mitchell let go of the little silver dragon and let it fall to the ground. The little silver dragon was not angry at all. Instead, it jumped up and danced with joy. It thought Mitchell was playing with it. Then, the little silver dragon sniff around before it turned to look at the cart. Precisely speaking, it was looking at the gold, silver, and jewels that scattered all over the ground. The little silver dragon looked excited to see the treasures. It pointed at them as it shouted at Mitchell. ¡°Papa!¡± Mitchell was slightly taken aback. Then, he guessed, ¡°Do you want to eat the cart?¡± Little Silver Dragon shook its head and shouted again. ¡°Papa!¡± Right at that moment, Mitchell rubbed his chin and said with enlightenment, ¡°You want these jewels?¡± The little silver dragon hurriedly nodded its head when it saw that Mitchell had finally guessed correctly. Mitchell was amused by it too. It was said that dragons liked treasures but he didn¡¯t expect that they would like them from birth. ¡°Fine, I can¡¯t take these things with me anyway. Take them all if you like.¡± Since its father had given it an affirmative answer, the little silver dragon danced with joy again before it turned to look at the jewels scattered all over the ground. Mitchell was also looking at the little silver dragon curiously. He wanted to see what this young dragon was going to do with these jewels. And he was completely shocked in the next second. The little silver dragon suddenly opened its mouth and took a deep breath. Its mouth was like a super-powerful vacuum cleaner and it was sucking up the treasures on the ground crazily. How could those treasures resist such a suction force? They all flew into the little silver dragon¡¯s mouth. In just a few breaths¡¯ time, all the treasures on the ground went into the little silver dragon¡¯s stomach. Seeing that, Mitchell touched the little silver dragon¡¯s stomach in surprise. It was still very flat and almost unchanged. It was practically a cash shredder! ¡°You ate them all?¡± Mitchell instinctively asked the little silver dragon in shock. But the little silver dragon simply shook its head and burped. Then, a piece of gold ingot fell out of Little Silver Dragon¡¯s mouth along with this burp. Mitchell was rather speechless when he saw that. ¡°What does that mean? You¡¯re saving me some of it?¡± He thought the little silver dragon would nod happily, but instead it shook its head and burped again. This time, a huge pile of treasure flew out from its mouth. Now, Mitchell completely got it. He thought that the little silver dragon had eaten all the treasures. In fact, it only swallowed them. Oh well, since it was said that dragons had the habit of collecting treasures. It wouldn¡¯t be considered as collecting if he ate all of them. There seemed to be a space in the dragon¡¯s stomach that was specially used to store treasures, and it seemed to be bottomless. Since that was the case, Mitchell didn¡¯t bother to restrain himself. He stuffed the gold ingot back into the little silver dragon¡¯s mouth right away. It seemed like this little silver dragon wasn¡¯t completely useless. At least it could serve as a mobile vault. At this thought, Mitchell felt a little better. As long as he didn¡¯t suffer a loss. ¡°However, since I¡¯ve decided to keep you, I will have to give you a name.¡± Mitchell looked at the little silver dragon and rubbed his chin as he pondered. Meanwhile, the little silver dragon also stood on the ground and patiently waited for its father to give it a name. ¡°My name is Mitchell, and since you call me Papa. In that case, I might as well call you Little Mitch.¡± The little silver dragon danced with joy again upon hearing this name. It seemed to be very happy with the name. Mitchell found it funny, too. This little fellow¡¯s ways of expressing its moods were really simple. He would dance with joy if it agreed. If he didn¡¯t, he would then shake his head. It was rather convenient to communicate in that way. ¡°Alright, Mitch. Let¡¯s go.¡± Mitch nodded happily and pounced on Mitchell. It then jumped onto his shoulder in no time. Mitchell didn¡¯t mind that at all. As long as it didn¡¯t occupy his hands. Furthermore, Little Mitch wasn¡¯t heavy now. It only weighed 1 to 1.5 kilograms. Since it liked to sit on his shoulders, he simply let it be. Mitchell wanted to leave after Little Mitch sucked all the treasures back into its stomach again. However, today seemed destined to be a day full of troubles. In the distance, another group of people was rapidly approaching him. Moreover, judging from their expressions, they all seemed to have ill intentions. Mitchell sighed at the sight. I, Mitchell, only want to fuse with every living thing and get stronger one step at a time. But, why am I always forced to kill? Chapter 16 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Those people were obviously coming for him, so Mitchell didn¡¯t bother to go over. Instead, he stood on the spot quietly and waited for them to come. Soon, that group of people arrived in front of Mitchell. The woman in the lead was shocked to see the corpses strewn all over the ground, but she still pretended to be calm and asked the servant beside her. ¡°Is he one of the thieves who stole our things?¡± The servant squinted at Mitchell as if he was trying to remember what had happened. Mitchell only found this sight to be amusing. Although he had half of the human¡¯s bloodline, overall, he still looked more like an orc. The bandits who had stolen the cart were all humans. None of them was an orc. And this attendant actually still needed to think about it. However, something made Mitchell even more shocked. The servant actually shook his head and said in confusion, ¡°At that time, I only cared about escaping, so I can¡¯t remember how they looked very well.¡± The leading woman started to look at Mitchell even more suspiciously, as if she had already determined that Mitchell was one of those bandits. Meeting her eyes, Mitchell said calmly, ¡°Kid, open your eyes wide and see clearly. Isn¡¯t the difference between me and those humans obvious?¡± The servant was shocked when he heard that, and so were the others. The female leader of the group even sized up Mitchell before saying with a faint smile, ¡°Why? Do you have one extra hand or one extra foot? Or are you an immortal? I don¡¯t see the difference between you and the bandits. Speak up. Where are all the treasures in the cart?¡± Hearing this, Mitchell finally understood. These people were here to find trouble with him. Mitchell asked coldly instead, ¡°Is it a must for me to answer your question? Moreover, who knows if these things really belonged to you?¡± When the woman heard that, a trace of anger flashed across her face. In her opinion, if this matter had nothing to do with him, he just had to say what he saw. But now that he was covered in blood and the corpses of bandits were all over the ground. How could this matter possibly not have anything to do with him? Since he was unwilling to come clean, he most likely had done something wrong. Instantly, the already hostile ambiance fell to the freezing point. Little Mitch on Mitchell¡¯s shoulder had regarded Mitchell as its father, so naturally it was paying constant attention to its father¡¯s emotions. Obviously, Mitchell wasn¡¯t happy now. Hence, Little Mitch decided to stand out bravely by flapping its wings and yelling at them. Hearing the cry, the woman was slightly taken aback. Only then did she notice the little silver dragon that had been crouching behind Mitchell¡¯s shoulder. ¡°T-this is the Silver Dragon!¡± The woman was slightly startled before she pointed angrily at Mitchell, ¡°You still dare to say that it has nothing to do with you? It must have been hatched from my silver dragon egg!¡± That made Mitchell speechless. He wasn¡¯t an unreasonable person. He only insisted that he couldn¡¯t remember because the other party dared to lie even after they saw that he looked more like an orc. In Mitchell¡¯s opinion, this was equivalent to a scam. However, now that the other party even knew that there was a silver dragon egg on the cart, this had proven that they were the owner of this cart of treasures. Even so, the other party¡¯s cultural attitude was clearly somewhat problematic. Therefore, Mitchell decided to make things difficult for them too. ¡°This silver dragon had hatched by itself. You can take it away if it¡¯s willing to leave with you.¡± Seeing that Mitchell seemed to be speaking the truth, the woman muttered softly, ¡°Then, I shall take it.¡± But as soon as she took a step forward, Little Mitch put on a fierce expression. It flapped its wings and howled loudly. The woman was scared by it instead. It was not her fault. Dragons were inherently intimidating. It was normal for the woman to be frightened by it. However, when the woman soon realized that it was just a baby dragon, she felt utterly embarrassed and immediately pulled out the whip at her waist. She was going to use force. Right then, the old man who had been observing behind the woman the whole time, finally walked out and stopped her. ¡°Young Mistress, it¡¯s useless to resort to violence. Forget it.¡± ¡°Forget it?¡± The woman frowned and said grudgingly, ¡°It belongs to us in the first place, so why should we let it go?¡± The old man shook his head slightly and lamented, ¡°You might not know this, Young Mistress, but this young dragon probably already took this gentleman to be its parent. It¡¯s useless even if you insist on taking it away now. It won¡¯t listen to us.¡± The woman¡¯s entire body froze. She seemed to understand the crux of the problem. Seeing that the woman was no longer throwing a tantrum, the old man turned around and bowed slightly to Mitchell, ¡°Sir, my lady has offended you. Please don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± The old man¡¯s words were rather reasonable so Mitchell¡¯s expression eased a little. Seeing that, the old man immediately continued, ¡°I am the butler of the Leon Family. This is the young mistress of the Leon Family.¡± At this point, the old butler paused slightly to see Mitchell¡¯s reaction. If Mitchell looked surprised or worried when he heard the Leon family¡¯s name, things would be easier for them. Unfortunately, Mitchell was completely unmoved. He had never heard of the Leon Family. Seeing that Mitchell didn¡¯t respond, the old butler continued very naturally, ¡°Forgive me for being blunt, but this silver dragon egg, as well as this entire cart of treasures were originally the property of Leon Family. However, since the silver dragon has broken out of its shell and recognized you as its master, that could be considered to be fated. Since that was fated, there is no harm in giving this silver dragon to you.¡± At that, the young mistress immediately paled and she was about to say something. However, the old butler seemed to have eyes on his back as he stopped his young mistress immediately. The young mistress instantly ceased when the butler stopped her. It was clear that the old butler was placed in an important position within the Leon family and had a high status. The old butler continued, ¡°In itself, this cart of treasures was only a smokescreen set up for the silver dragon egg. This silver dragon is still the most important thing. To tell you the truth, the lady of Leon Family is waiting for this silver dragon to save her life. We can give the silver dragon to you. We only hope that you could help us by making the silver dragon cast a healing spell on our lady. As long as you are willing, the silver dragon is yours. Furthermore, we, the Leon family, will give you other great gifts of appreciation.¡± After the butler finished speaking, Mitchell began to ponder carefully. He had to say that the butler¡¯s words really made great sense. Initially, Mitchell had already indicated that they could take the silver dragon away if they wanted to. However, they knew in their hearts that the silver dragon had already recognized him as its master so it was useless even if they took it. Hence, the old butler changed the topic and gave it to Mitchell right away. Since they had already given him the silver dragon and didn¡¯t mention the treasures again, it was only right for him to help them out, right? Chapter 17 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After much thought, Mitchell finally agreed. For one thing, Mitchell was a reasonable man. Although adopting the silver dragon was not his original intention, he had indeed thought of integrating the genes of the silver dragon initially, so he had almost snatched something that belonged to others. On the other hand, the old butler¡¯s attitude was rather good and it wasn¡¯t a big deal to help. Finally, the other party also agreed to give him other rewards. If this Leon family could find some rare creatures to give to Mitchell, it would definitely not be a loss for him. Since that was the case, he had no reason not to help. Just take it as doing a business deal. Anyway, he didn¡¯t have a definite goal now, so it didn¡¯t matter where he went. As for the unruly and willful young mistress, Mitchell simply ignored her. Although she was the young mistress, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that the old butler¡¯s words carried more weight. *** The location of the forest was not far from Storm City, so it didn¡¯t take too long for this group of people to reach Storm City. Along the way, the young mistress was obviously very interested in Mitch and had been trying to play with it. However, perhaps because of Mitchell, Little Mitch was very unfriendly to the young mistress. It never gave her a pleasant look whenever the young mistress talked to it. It made the young mistress very depressed too. Now, they had already arrived at the outskirts of Storm City. Mitchell suddenly thought of something and said hesitatingly, ¡°Could you get me a veil to cover my face?¡± Hearing that, the others couldn¡¯t help but stop and look at Mitchell with a strange expression. The old butler frowned slightly as he asked curiously, ¡°Did you have enemies in Storm City or you are being wanted by the authorities, Sir?¡± ¡°No, I am not. But my looks¡­¡± Mitchell was also confused when he saw their reactions. Were they not worried that his appearance would cause a commotion? Everyone knew that the relationship between orcs and humans had never been good. He himself had transmigrated. Moreover, before he transmigrated, he was also an ordinary human on Earth, so naturally, he had no ill intentions towards humans. However, these guys were not on guard against him at all. Weren¡¯t they being too chilled? Right then, the young mistress who had always disliked Mitchell, finally spoke up, ¡°You¡¯re simply too narcissistic. Even if you think you look great, you shouldn¡¯t need to enter the city with a mask on, right? Do you think that all the women in the city are going to harass you?¡± That made Mitchell even more confused. What the heck? When did I ever say that I was handsome? Moreover, there should be a huge difference between the aesthetic standards of humans and orcs, right? Why does it feel like I¡¯m not too bad-looking from this lass¡¯ words? Just as Mitchell was perplexed, the old butler came out to smooth things over, ¡°Hahaha, it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t wear a mask. Let¡¯s hurry and enter the city.¡± Mitchell didn¡¯t say anything else after that. It seemed that the Leon Family truly had great influence in Storm City. They could actually bring an orc into the city openly. From the looks of it, his chances of obtaining precious birds and rare beasts from the Leon Family had gotten much higher. As they slowly approached the city gates, Mitchell instinctively focused his attention. If the Storm City garrison made things difficult for him, he would be able to respond immediately. They were ten meters away from the city gate. Five meters. Three meters. One meter! Right at that moment, one of the guards stared at Mitchell with a shocked expression. Mitchell sighed inwardly. Indeed, no matter how powerful the Leon Family was, casually bringing orcs into Storm City was a bit too ridiculous. It seemed like he had to fight his way out. Just as he was about to pull out his weapon, the city guard couldn¡¯t help but smilingly ask, ¡°Is that a dragon that is crouching on your shoulders, Sir?¡± Mitchell froze and nodded slightly. I¡¯m already prepared to fight, but your focus is actually on the silver dragon? Upon hearing this soldier¡¯s words, the other soldiers all came over and began pointing at the silver dragon. But no one paid attention to Mitchell¡¯s appearance. Now, Mitchell was really perplexed. Could it be that humans were, in actuality, very friendly to orcs? All the orcs in his memory have said that humans were very hostile to orcs, but was it just prejudice? Right then, the old butler waved his hand and said, ¡°Alright, gentlemen. Please make way for us. This is an honored guest of our Leon Family.¡± The soldiers cooperatively made way for them after hearing the name of the Leon Family. The soldier who had spoken earlier also said respectfully, ¡°So you are from the Leon Clan. Forgive us for not recognizing you. Please enter the city.¡± The old butler nodded at the soldiers as a form of greeting. Then, he took the lead and continued walking into the city. Looking at Mitchell¡¯s stunned expression, the young mistress said proudly, ¡°We, the Leon Family, are a big family in Storm City. Everyone knows about us, so it¡¯s quite rare that you haven¡¯t heard of the Leon Clan.¡± Mitchell didn¡¯t rely. He just muttered to himself in his heart. The Leon family was indeed powerful. They could even bring orcs into the city without any obstructions. It seemed like he needed to get to know the Leon Family. *** The Leon Family lived in the inner part of the Storm City. Those who could live here were either high-ranking officials or wealthy elites. Commoners were definitely not qualified to live here. Mitchell looked at the scene in Storm City and felt a surge of emotion. There were similar rules in Blood Roar City too. However, even as the son of Xeno, he actually could only live in the outermost area of Blood Roar City. How sad that was. Soon, they arrived in front of a large mansion. There were a few guards in front of the mansion. When they saw the old butler and the group, they immediately went forward to welcome them. Of course, they saw Mitchell too, but they didn¡¯t ask about him. It was not their turn to be concerned about the people brought back by the old butler and the young mistress. As such, Mitchell entered the Leon Family¡¯s residence without any obstructions. ¡°Father, I¡¯m back!¡± As soon as she reached home, the young mistress immediately shouted out. Just like a child who was entering her territory. A man¡¯s voice soon came from inside the house. ¡°Daughter, did you bring it back?¡± His voice was filled with urgency. His daughter had just returned but as her father, he did not show any concern for her. Instead, he asked questions first. It seemed like the old butler was telling the truth when he said that their lady was critically ill and needed the Silver Dragon¡¯s help. Mitchell was relieved to know the truth. All he needed to do now was to ask Little Mitch to help. Just as he was thinking about that, a man with a resolute face and an imposing aura walked out. He had a completely different temperament from ordinary people. And then, something strange happened. That man did not look at his daughter, but instead, he stared intently at Mitchell as he stood rooted to the ground. Mitchell furrowed his brows too. Did his identity as an orc finally bring him trouble? Chapter 18 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Looking at the middle-aged man, Mitchell was mentally prepared to be chased away at any moment now. To be honest, if the other party was willing to cooperate nicely, he naturally wouldn¡¯t mind. But if the other party looked down on him because he was a half-orc, then he would just leave. If it came down to it, he could just look for rare beasts himself. It wasn¡¯t as if he had to rely on the Leon Family. Initially, he had thought that the other party would definitely speak ill of him. But who knew something that confused Mitchell happened again. ¡°Quick, go and get my older sister over here!¡± Mitchell froze on the spot again upon hearing those words that didn¡¯t make any sense. He already couldn¡¯t remember how many times he had been confused about the situation today. It felt as if there was something wrong with this world. Why did this middle-aged man ask his sister to come over as soon as he saw him? Could it be that he wanted him to be his older sister¡¯s husband? Surely not, right? Just as his thoughts were running wild, a middle-aged woman who was as beautiful as any young maiden, walked out. Surprisingly, the middle-aged woman was also stunned when she saw Mitchell. What was even more surprising was that after a moment, she actually covered her face and started crying. At that moment, even the young mistress couldn¡¯t help but to take a double look at Mitchell. Clearly, this young mistress did not understand what was happening either. As Mitchell looked at the middle-aged man and woman in front of him, a strange feeling arose in his heart. This feeling was hard to explain. It seemed familiar yet also strange. After a long while, the woman finally spoke, ¡°Do you recognize me?¡± Mitchell was slightly taken aback. He hesitated for a moment before replying with a frown, ¡°Madam, this is our first time meeting each other. How would I recognize you?¡± The middle-aged woman¡¯s eyes dimmed a little when she heard Mitchell¡¯s reply. Then, she asked indignantly, ¡°Don¡¯t you find me familiar?¡± Mitchell understood something when she said that. It seemed that the Leon Family definitely knew him. Furthermore, they most likely did not bear any ill intentions towards him. But this charade also made Mitchell feel rather uncomfortable. He felt as if there was something that the whole world knew and he was the only one being kept in the dark. He frowned slightly and composed himself before saying calmly, ¡°If there¡¯s anything you need, please speak your mind, Madam.¡± Hearing Mitchell¡¯s indifferent voice, the middle-aged woman teared up again as she slowly said, ¡°Storm City once had a family that gave birth to twin sisters. Almost everyone in Storm City knows about this pair of twin sisters. Everyone who had met them, praised them for being smart and clever. But one day, because the elder sister was playful, she sneaked out of the city with her younger sister.¡± At this point, the middle-aged woman seemed to recall something sad and wiped away her tears again. Although the middle-aged woman didn¡¯t say things in a straightforward manner, it was still a start. Mitchell didn¡¯t interrupt her as he continued to listen patiently. A moment later, after the middle-aged woman dried her tears, she continued, ¡°At first, the two sisters were having a lot of fun. But unknowingly, the two of them ventured into a forest. The sisters were only in their teens back then and it was also their first time leaving Storm City, so they couldn¡¯t find their way back home. Soon, the two of them lost their way in the forest.¡± At this point, the old butler suddenly trembled and then looked at Mitchell in surprise. That sight made Mitchell frown again. He could also see it now. What followed next would be the crux that was related to him. Despite his impatience, Mitchell held his temper and continued listening. ¡°The sky gradually darkened and the forest at night and the forest in the day seemed to be two completely different places. The two sisters got more and more frightened. Hunger and cold engulfed the two sisters and made them increasingly panicky. Right at that moment, a series of footsteps appeared in the forest. The elder sister quickly hid among the grass when she heard the footsteps. But the younger sister was so scared that her legs went soft and she fell to the ground, unable to move.¡± At this point, Mitchell suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. This strange feeling shocked him. ¡°The older sister wanted to get up and pulled her sister in the grass too. But everything happened too quickly and the footsteps were already right in front of them. An orc arm that was thicker than the younger sister¡¯s waist appeared and grabbed her neck. The younger sister was so frightened that she kept screaming and struggling. But, it was to no avail. The owner of the huge arm left the forest after grabbing the younger sister. As for the older sister, she tightly covered her mouth and watched as her younger sister got carried by the orcs.¡± Mitchell finally realized something at this point and he stared at the middle-aged woman in speechless disbelief. No one spoke for a long time. At that moment, the only one who didn¡¯t grasp the situation was the young mistress. She seemed to be entranced by the conversation as she asked worriedly, ¡°And then what happened to that older sister?¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the old butler quickly pulled her back and hinted to her not to ask any more questions. Meanwhile, the middle-aged woman sighed heavily as she said regretfully, ¡°That elder sister was me¡­¡± The young mistress covered her mouth in shock when she heard the last sentence. Even she could tell by now. It seemed like one of her aunties whom she had never met before, was kidnapped by the orcs. However, she could not help but feel puzzled. What did this have to do with Mitchell? Just as she was wondering, Mitchell next to her, heaved a heavy sigh. He finally understood. No wonder the middle-aged man looked surprised when he saw him. No wonder the middle-aged woman cried when she saw him. It turned out that the younger sister in this story was, in fact, his biological mother! And he actually had the bloodline of the Storm City¡¯s Leon Family! The middle-aged woman saw Mitchell¡¯s expression and knew that he had understood her meaning by now. She slowly walked to Mitchell and sobbed, ¡°I recognized you as soon as I saw you, because you simply look too much like my sister. Nephew, I let your mother down back then as I didn¡¯t dare to save her. You may vent all your anger and frustration on me now!¡± Everyone in the house was looking at Mitchell right now. Mitchell, on the other hand, slowly closed his eyes as if he was having an internal struggle. He only opened his eyes after a long while and then said to the middle-aged woman, ¡°Forget it. Let bygones be bygones. I wouldn¡¯t have been born into this world if my mother hadn¡¯t been taken.¡± Despite his reluctance to admit the truth, Mitchell knew it very clearly. He was the offspring of Xeno and his mother. He wouldn¡¯t have been born if his mother had not been taken away. After hearing Mitchell¡¯s words, the middle-aged man quickly walked over and asked Mitchell anxiously, ¡°My sister¡­ who is also your mother, how is she doing now?¡± The middle-aged woman was also looking at him anxiously when she heard that. Even the young mistress could not help looking over as she wanted to know what happened to the younger sister in the story. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Mitchell replied word by word, ¡°My mother died on the day that I was born.¡± As soon as he said this, the middle-aged woman fainted right on the spot upon hearing the shocking news. Chapter 19 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Although the middle-aged man didn¡¯t faint like his sister, his face turned pale too. He seemed to have aged five years in a blink of an eye. Even though the old butler was also very shocked, he still remained calm. He immediately called someone over to help the middle-aged woman in. The mansion fell into a dead silence. After a long while, Mitchell said calmly, ¡°The dead can¡¯t be resurrected. Let¡¯s treat the lady first. That is the most urgent matter now.¡± Upon hearing that, the middle-aged man finally reacted and nodded repeatedly. With the middle-aged man leading the way, Mitchell and the young mistress arrived at Madam¡¯s room. The young mistress curiously sized up her cousin, whom she had never met before, along the way. Mitchell, on the other hand, remained silent throughout. ¡°Daughter, did you bring back the silver dragon egg?¡± The middle-aged man had already tamed his emotions and regained the temperament that he had when they first met. After hearing her father¡¯s question, the young mistress instinctively turned to Mitchell. Then, Mitchell said, ¡°Excuse me, due to various accidents, the silver dragon egg has hatched.¡± Little Mitch took that opportunity to show its face. It peeked out from behind Mitchell¡¯s shoulder and barked. Seeing that, the man asked, ¡°Nephew, has this Silver Dragon already recognized you as its master?¡± Mitchell glanced at Little Mitch, who was hugging him tightly, and then nodded. It was not simply about it recognizing him as its master. Little Mitch was even calling him papa now. The man thought for a moment before asking with a frown, ¡°Can you make it use light magic to heal your aunt?¡± Mitchell wasn¡¯t used to hearing him address him as his nephew, but he chose to keep quiet about that. ¡°Mitch, do you know about light magic?¡± When Little Mitch heard its father¡¯s words, it immediately jumped out and flapped its wings. It began posing as if it was showing off its strength. However, it was very comical when these poses were being manipulated by its tiny young body. However, since it had done so, it meant that it was confident about that. Mitchell said calmly, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, help treat Madam then.¡± The middle-aged man frowned slightly when he heard that, but he did not say anything. Little Mitch immediately let out a cry when it received its instruction, and it flew to the bed. Then, its silver dragon scales began to glow. The white light on its body turned into specks of light that enveloped Madam¡¯s body. Slowly, the light particles fused into Madam¡¯s body, just like rain falling into a pond. One had to say that the magic of the dragons was indeed miraculous. As the light particles fused into her, Madam¡¯s initially pale face gradually became rosy and her complexion improved. The man heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that, as if his nerves, which had been tense for a long time, had finally relaxed. The young mistress, on the other hand, grabbed Mitchell¡¯s arm excitedly. She was both excited and worried that she would disturb her mother as she shouted in a low voice, ¡°Look, Mother is saved!¡± After that, the young mistress snapped out of her trance as she turned and saw Mitchell¡¯s calm face. Realizing that her actions were quite inappropriate, the young mistress immediately let go of her hands and turned her blushing face away to avoid looking at Mitchell. After casting the spell, Little Mitch returned to Mitchell¡¯s shoulder. The middle-aged man stared at his wife, who was breathing steadily on the bed with a calm expression as if she had simply fallen asleep. After a long while, he turned his head and said, ¡°Nephew, this is not the place to talk. Let your aunt rest here first. We shall talk outside.¡± Mitchell naturally had no objections. It was indeed unsuitable to stay too long in someone else¡¯s bedroom. Thus, the two men walked out of the room one after another. Although the young mistress did not follow them out, she stood behind the door sneakily and eavesdropped on them. *** When they reached the living room, the man gestured for Mitchell to sit down and had someone bring tea over. After everything was settled, the man said, ¡°Although you are my nephew, this is our first time meeting each other, so let me introduce myself. My name is Mikhos Leon. I am currently the head of the Leon Family. The woman you saw just now is my eldest sister, Sheena Leon. As for your mother, she is my second sister, which means I¡¯m your uncle and you¡¯re my nephew.¡± Mitchell nodded calmly. Although he had just found out about their names, he had already sorted out their relationships, so he wasn¡¯t very surprised. Moments later, Mikhos asked, ¡°After all I¡¯ve said, I still don¡¯t know your name or how you¡¯ve been all these years.¡± With that, Mikhos looked at Mitchell and stopped talking. Obviously, he wanted to know more about his nephew. Mitchell looked at Mikhos¡¯ blue eyes and said word by word, ¡°My name is Mitchell. Mitchell Blood Roar.¡± As soon as he said this, Mikhos¡¯ body trembled slightly. Mikhos¡¯ eyes seemed to be quivering as he looked Mitchell up and down. ¡°You¡¯re¡­ an orc?¡± Blood Roar was a surname that was unique to the orcs. Mitchell frowned slightly but said nothing. Wasn¡¯t it obvious from the very moment he saw him? Why was he so shocked? Didn¡¯t the people from the Leon Family know what orcs look like? After a long silence, Mikhos sighed and said, ¡°Forget it. This is all fated. No matter what happens with the orcs, the children are innocent. Even if you have the blood of an orc on you, you are still my nephew. There is no doubt about that.¡± Although Mitchell didn¡¯t show any visible expression, he was rather surprised to hear that. Despite the context of this world, Mikhos was actually able to put aside the conflict between the races so easily. Judging from this, it was clear that Mikhos was not a mediocre person. Seeing Mikhos being honest with him, Mitchell finally let down his guard and asked in puzzlement, ¡°My lord, there¡¯s something I don¡¯t understand¡­¡± Before he could even ask his question, Mikhos raised his hand to interrupt him and said, ¡°Nephew, you can call me uncle from now on. You don¡¯t have to worry about anything.¡± Clearly, Mikhos had a problem with Mitchell calling him ¡°my lord¡±. After calling him nephew for so long, the other party still refused to call him uncle, so this was somewhat inexcusable. Mitchell hesitated for a while before nodding. After all, Mikhos had treated him quite well from the moment they met. Even though he knew that he had the blood of the orcs flowing in his veins, he didn¡¯t treat him any differently. That was not easy so he must have really taken him to be his nephew. Seeing Mitchell nod and agree, Mikhos finally revealed a satisfied smile and asked warmly, ¡°Nephew, just ask me about anything.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not really a big deal actually,¡± Mitchell couldn¡¯t help asking now and his expression began to get a little weird. ¡°Did you all¡­ really cannot tell that I have an orc bloodline?¡± Chapter 20 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After hearing that, Mikhos hesitated for a while. Obviously, he didn¡¯t understand what Mitchell meant when he asked that question. After some thought, Mikhos replied, ¡°My dear nephew, don¡¯t dwell on that. Since you are my second sister¡¯s son, you are my blood nephew. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t have any prejudice against you.¡± Obviously, their conversation was not on the same frequency. Mitchell also felt that their conversation was incongruous. This sort of matters could be so easily seen, couldn¡¯t even be considered as a prejudice. Come to think of it, his uncle probably said that because he was worried that Mitchell would reproach himself. After all, in the eyes of the entire continent, the orcs were the most savage, despicable, and bloodthirsty race. It was also inevitable that people would think like that. Without further comment on the subject, Mikhos asked Mitchell what had happened over the years. Mitchell had nothing to hide either. Other than the system, he told him about everything else. Mikhos¡¯s face grew darker as he listened to Mitchell¡¯s story. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that bastard Xeno to be so cold-blooded and heartless. He even schemed against his own son! Indeed, none of the orcs are good.¡± With that, he seemed to realize that he had misspoken. He said softly to Mitchell, ¡°Nephew, I¡¯m not talking about you.¡± Mitchell waved his hand, ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± As far as Mitchell was concerned, every race had its bad traits. Even the peace-loving elves were, in actuality, extremely proud. They seemed to be peace-loving on the surface, but in reality, they looked down on those ugly races because of their godly beauty. Therefore, no one race was perfect. To ease the awkwardness, Mikhos changed the topic. ¡°Nephew, I haven¡¯t thanked you for saving my wife¡¯s life. I wonder what would you like to have? As long as you tell me, I can get you even the moon in the sky.¡± Mikhos seemed to dote on this nephew whom he had just met for the first time. Perhaps it was because he missed his sister, who he hadn¡¯t heard from for so many years, that he had transferred that feeling onto Mitchell. Mitchell closed his eyes and shook his head. ¡°Uncle, since you treat me as your nephew and there¡¯s no estrangement between us, then helping Aunt with her treatment is simply my duty. There¡¯s no need to thank me. Furthermore, the Silver Dragon Egg was originally your property to begin with. It is only natural to use it on you all.¡± Mitchell was a simple man. He would treat whoever was good to him, equally good as well. Since the Leon Family had accepted him sincerely, he naturally wouldn¡¯t be plotting against them. However, Mikhos simply chuckled, ¡°Nephew, you¡¯re being too polite. I¡¯m not only thanking you for treating your aunt, it¡¯s also a welcome gift for you as your uncle. In short, if you desire any rare treasures, just feel free to tell me. Of course, you will be a part of our Leon Clan in the future. The wealth of the Leon Clan will also be yours to use.¡± Mikhos wasn¡¯t being gracious when he said that. Given the wealth of the Leon Family, even if Mitchell was to squander it lavishly, it would last him a few lifetimes. Mitchell stopped being coy when he saw that Mikhos was so persistent. ¡°Uncle, I do have some needs.¡± ¡°Nephew, please feel free to speak your mind. As your uncle, I will definitely fulfil them for you.¡± Mitchell said after pondering for a moment, ¡°Uncle, I wonder if there are any rare beasts in Storm City?¡± ¡°Rare beasts?¡± Mikhos was a little taken aback. Initially, he had tried to guess what Mitchell would like to have. Gold, silver, jewels, weapons, armor, elixirs, and treasures. He thought of almost every possibility. But, he had never expected Mitchell to ask for rare beasts. Although he was really curious, Mikhos refrained from asking his nephew why he wanted the rare beasts. Since he had already boasted that he would satisfy his nephew¡¯s request, there was nothing much for him to ask. Mikhos stood up and paced around in the living room. He rubbed his chin with his right hand and frowned as if he was trying to recall something. Seeing that, Mitchell said gently, ¡°Uncle, it¡¯s fine if you can¡¯t get it. It¡¯s no big deal.¡± Mikhos raised his hand and waved it, ¡°No. If my nephew wants it, then he must receive it! However, I¡¯ve really never heard of anyone rearing rare beasts in Storm City. I¡¯ll get the butler to ask around first. If anyone in Storm City has a rare beast, they will definitely give us, the Leon Family, the due respect.¡± Mitchell wanted to ask him to save all that trouble. However, Mikhos was very persistent and even summoned the old butler over. ¡°Neil, send someone to find out if there are any families in Storm City that rear rare beasts. After you find out, you¡¯ll have to get it from them regardless of the cost. I¡¯m going to give it to my nephew, Mitchell, as a welcome gift.¡± After hearing that, the old butler Neil immediately nodded and left without another word. After the old butler left, Mikhos patted his forehead as he suddenly recalled something, ¡°See how poor my memory is. I haven¡¯t arranged your accommodations yet. ¡°From today onwards, you will be a part of our Leon Family. You are my flesh and blood, so naturally, I will arrange your accommodations for you.¡± Having said that, Mikhos looked to the room where Madam was in and said sternly, ¡°Clementine, how long are you going to eavesdrop on us? Aren¡¯t you going to come out and arrange a place for your older brother to stay?¡± The young mistress, who was eavesdropping in the room, tensed up and walked out with a pout. ¡°Father, how did you know that I was eavesdropping inside?¡± Mikhos rolled his eyes at her and replied, ¡°With your restless personality, you wouldn¡¯t have remained in there quietly for so long.¡± Clementine was speechless and stuck out her tongue when she heard that. ¡°Mitchell, I will get your younger sister to arrange a place for you later. You will stay here from now on. This is your home and we are your family. As for that Xeno Blood Roar, although it¡¯s inappropriate for me to say that about your father, I still have to be frank with you. You will be better off without him!¡± At the mention of Xeno Blood Roar, Mikhos remembered what Mitchell had just described earlier and he seemed very furious. It was because from these details, he could tell that his sister definitely wasn¡¯t treated well in Blood Roar City. Therefore, he naturally did not have any good feelings towards Xeno. Mitchell didn¡¯t think anything was wrong when he heard Mikhos¡¯ words. After all, he didn¡¯t like Xeno either. On the contrary, he would rather get closer to his Leon Family¡¯s relatives. With thought in mind, Mitchell nodded at Clementine and lightly said, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll have to trouble you then, Sister.¡± Chapter 21 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations He didn¡¯t understand why. At first, Mitchell thought that this unruly and willful young mistress wouldn¡¯t do it. Who knew that Clementine would actually agree without any objections? That made Mitchell wary instead. Could it be that this little girl wanted to arrange a particularly horrible place for him to stay? All the way, Clementine kept asking Mitchell questions. ¡°Are you really a half-orc? Why can¡¯t I tell?¡± Mitchell glanced coldly at Clementine. He thought that Clementine was mocking him. Mitchell said mildly, ¡°You¡¯ll be able to tell if you take a closer look.¡± To his surprise, Clementine actually stared at Mitchell closely. After looking at him for a long time, Clementine still frowned as she seriously said, ¡°I really can¡¯t tell¡­¡± Mitchell didn¡¯t want to dwell on the subject any longer. Although Mikhos expressed his willingness to accept him, Mikhos¡¯ thinking could not represent everyone¡¯s thoughts. This young mistress had been pampered since she was young. She was unruly and willful so it was not surprising that she would make things difficult for him. He would simply ignore her. ¡°Brother, what¡¯s the orc city like?¡± ¡°It¡¯s similar to Storm City.¡± ¡°Brother, what do orcs look like?¡± ¡°Like me.¡± ¡°Brother, what does it feel like to hug a baby dragon?¡± ¡°It¡¯s like hugging a puppy.¡± Little Mitch seemed unhappy to hear that. It jumped onto Mitchell¡¯s shoulder and gave a loud snort to express its displeasure. No matter what Clementine asked, Mitchell would always be ¡°pretty much.¡± He simply answered her perfunctorily. But Clementine seemed never tired of asking him questions and she was curious about everything. Although they had never left the house and only went from the living room to his new accommodation, they actually had to walk for a few minutes. So, it was obvious that the Leon Family¡¯s residence was really huge. Clementine asked at least a dozen questions along the way, and Mitchell was getting impatient. After arriving at his residence, Mitchell saw that the abode that Clementine had arranged for him didn¡¯t seem to have any problems and then did he relax and say calmly, ¡°Cousin, I¡¯m a little tired today, so I¡¯ll be resting now.¡± That was equivalent to an order to chase her out. Although he was in the Leon Family¡¯s residence, at this moment, this small room was Mitchell¡¯s territory, so he had the right to ask someone to leave. However, Clementine didn¡¯t seem to mind at all. She simply nodded and said, ¡°There¡¯s a well over here. I¡¯ll get the servants to fetch some water for you to wash up.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I can handle this small matter myself.¡± Mitchell shook his head slowly. Although he was the City Lord¡¯s, he had never lived a pampered life. Therefore, he was not used to having others do small errants like fetching water. After saying that, he went to the well and started fetching water. Clementine, on the other hand, had no intention of leaving. She continued to look at her new brother curiously. Mitchell had no choice but to ignore her. He wondered what was going on with his cousin who kept staring at him. Were orcs that rare? Mitchell stared at his reflection in the water when he got a bucket of water up. He was slightly taken aback. Who was the person in the reflection? He opened his mouth slightly in surprise, but Clementine didn¡¯t show any unusual reaction. She tilted her head as she asked Mitchell, ¡°Brother? What¡¯s wrong there?¡± ¡°No, nothing is wrong.¡± Mitchell composed himself. He set the bucket aside and walked into the house. As soon as he entered the house, Mitchell began to look around with a frown. Soon, he found what he wanted. There was a small table beside the bed. On the table was a simple and precious wooden mirror. However, Mitchell was in no mood to appreciate the decorations on the wooden frame now. He quickly stroded to the mirror and looked into it. His reflection in the mirror had human appearances! At that moment, Clementine came over and asked Mitchell curiously, ¡°Brother, what¡¯s going on?¡± Mitchell still didn¡¯t answer her. He looked at himself in the mirror and fell into a silence. No wonder these humans didn¡¯t feel any surprise or estrangement when they saw him. So, it turned out that his appearance had somehow become a human one. In his memory, he had always looked more like an orc. Although his face in the mirror was very similar to his original orc¡¯s face, no one would associate this face with an orc right now. When exactly did the change happen? Mitchell began to recall carefully. He only remembered a moment later. His body seemed to have undergone some changes when he fused with the human bandit¡¯s genes. But he did not take it to heart then. It turned out that his appearance became human-like at that time. Mitchell said nothing in response to Clementine¡¯s question. Many things would be hard to explain if he were to say that he originally had the appearance of an orc but had now become a human. He couldn¡¯t be telling them that he had a system, could he? After thinking this through, Mitchell shook his head and slowly walked out of the room. He continued to wash up. Clementine, on the other hand, was completely befuddled. However, Clementine was only sixteen years old. In addition, she had been pampered since she was young, so her temperament was rather childish. Soon, she stopped caring about this matter and continued asking Mitchell questions. Mitchell had also changed his attitude now. Previously, he had thought that Clementine had asked those questions to mock him, an outsider with the blood of an orc. From the looks of it now, he was probably overthinking earlier. Therefore, Mitchell was more willing to answer Clementine¡¯s question properly now. As they chatted, Mikhos¡¯ voice came from the living room. ¡°What? The Kerr Clan dares to not give face to us, the Leon Clan?!¡± Although there was some distance between them, Mikhos was so agitated that he spoke rather loudly. So they could even hear him in this room. Mitchell and Clementine exchanged glances and then hurried over. Unlike the speed of their earlier leisure stroll, the two of them soon arrived at the living room. Seeing Mitchell and Clementine coming over, Mikhos immediately restrained his anger and asked Mitchell warmly, ¡°Nephew, are you satisfied with your accommodation?¡± Mitchell nodded slightly and smiled, ¡°The accommodation that Cousin arranged for me is excellent. I am very satisfied.¡± With that said, he paused and asked, ¡°I thought I heard Uncle getting angry. Did something happen?¡± Mikhos was slightly taken aback and then he waved his hand, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just a small matter. Go and rest.¡± Right then, Mitchell said after some hesitation, ¡°Uncle, if it¡¯s hard to get rare beasts, you don¡¯t have to¡­¡± But Mikhos raised his hand and interrupted Mitchell coldly, ¡°Nephew, there¡¯s no need to worry. In Storm City, there is nothing beyond our Leon family. This is no longer a small matter. It concerns our Leon Family¡¯s reputation. I want the entire Storm City to know that, the Leon Family is the number one family in Storm City!¡± Chapter 22 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Neil, come with me.¡± Mikhos immediately stood up with a wave of his hand and prepared to walk out. The old butler Neil didn¡¯t say much. He knew that once Old Master Mikhos decided on something, no one could change it. Mitchell wanted to persuade him, but Mikhos had already said that this matter concerned the Leon family¡¯s reputation. Since that was the case, it was not convenient for him to persuade him anymore. However, this matter had started because of him, so Mitchell naturally couldn¡¯t just stand by and watch. ¡°Since this matter started because of me, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± With that, he stood up and followed Mikhos out. Mikhos initially wanted Mitchell to stay, but all he saw was Mitchell¡¯s determined gaze. Seeing that look, Mikhos understood. Mitchell, like himself, had a personality that wouldn¡¯t change his mind once he¡¯d made it up . ¡°Good, my nephew is indeed a real man. Then, let¡¯s go meet the Kerr family together. I want to see just what sort of confidence the Kerr clan has to dare oppose our Leon clan!¡± *** After all, the Leon clan had a big household. They quickly gathered a group of experts and headed towards the Kerr Clan¡¯s territory with great fanfare. Along the way, Mitchell observed that the people summoned by Mikhos were almost all very powerful mages. There were only a few warriors. It seemed that humans were more focused on affinity with the elements, so learning magic was more mainstream than learning battle techniques. At the same time, people also thought that mages were much more noble than warriors. Mitchell could not help but consider. Since he had already obtained the genes of elemental affinity, why not try to learn magic? Just as he was thinking, their entourage had already arrived at the Kerr residence. Although it was also very luxurious, Mitchell could tell at a glance that this residence was still much inferior to the Leon Family¡¯s residence. From the looks of it, Mikhos was not bragging when he spoke of being the number one family in Storm City. *** When the guards saw them coming over aggressively, they could tell that they did not come with good intentions. Hence, they immediately went in to report. Before Mikhos could step forward, the other party sent his men out. Mikhos looked at the person who came out with befuddlement. ¡°Lionel?¡± The man named Lionel now was looking at Mikhos with a smug expression. He had no intention of backing down. ¡°Lord Leon, how have you been?¡± Mihos snorted when he saw this, ¡°Tell your family head to come out. You are not fit to speak to me!¡± ¡°Family head?¡± Laina sneered and said proudly, ¡°Excuse me, I am the family head of the Kerr family now.¡± ! Mikhos frowned at that. No wonder someone in Storm City dared to not give him any face. It turned out that the Kerr Family had changed their family head. When a young man became the head of the Kerr family, he would naturally be flexing his muscles. He would be fearless. However, Mikhos didn¡¯t bring his people here to reason with them. ¡°Little Lionel, since you¡¯ve become the head of the family, your every word and action represents the Kerr family. Do you understand what I mean?¡± Mikhos was not an unreasonable person but he cared a lot about his reputation. He knew that the other party was high-spirited and proud of himself right now, so he wanted to subtly give him a warning. However, Lionel did not take Mikhos, the head of the Leon family, seriously. He simply sneered, ¡°What? Is the Leon Clan trying to steal something from my Kerr clan outright now?¡± By this point, Mikhos¡¯ face had grown cold. Even if the Leon Clan was extremely powerful in Storm City, it was not to the extent of openly robbing people in Storm City in broad daylight. However, most families would give the Leon Family some face. Many things in Storm City would be very convenient for the people who were on good terms with the Leon Family. However, if they were to go against the Leon Family, then the Leon Family would have ten thousand ways to make that family suffer. Even if Mikhos returned right now, he was completely capable of toppling the Kerr Family and rendering them unable to survive in Storm City. However, this became a matter of pride now. Since Mikhos had already declared that he was going to get the Storm City¡¯s rare beasts for his nephew Mitchell, then he wouldn¡¯t be going back now! Looking at the high-spirited young man in front of him, Mikhos said coldly, ¡°It looks like we, the Leon Family has been keeping a low profile for too long that any Tom, Dick and Harry dares to sh*t all over all heads now. Do you know the consequences of going against us, the Leon Family?¡± Just as Lionel was about to say something, a masked man beside him lightly touched his hand. Then, Lionel paused for a moment and corrected himself, ¡°We, the Kerr Clan, naturally do not dare to oppose the Leon Clan. However, the Leon Family couldn¡¯t be robbing others in Storm City in broad daylight either, right?¡± With that said, he paused and smilingly suggested, ¡°I don¡¯t have much experience so I don¡¯t know just how formidable the Leon Family is. But, we, the Kerr Clan, don¡¯t want to become enemies with the Leon Clan. How about this? You and I will send our experts out for a competition. If the Leon Family wins, then I will hand over whatever the Leon Family wants. However, if the Kerr Clan wins, then we would like to ask the Leon Clan to give us control over the eastern marketplace. How about that?¡± Now, anyone could tell clearly that Lionel Kerr had already planned this for a long time. They wanted to step on the Leon Family to become the number one family in Storm City! The value of the eastern marketplace wasn¡¯t something that could be explained in a few words. The Leon family would suffer a great loss if they lost control of the eastern marketplace. Moreover, if the Kerr Clan won this arranged competition, the Leon Clan wouldn¡¯t be able to retaliate against the Kerr Clan. Otherwise, the entire Storm City would look down on them. By then, all the clans in Storm City would be secretly discussing that the Leon Clan was a sore loser even though they wouldn¡¯t dare to say it out right. Overall, the terms of this competition was rather unfair towards the Leon Family. In other words, this was clearly an unfair competition. However, Mikhos Leon laughed out loudly before replying, ¡°Great, great! I never expected that someone in Storm City would dare to challenge us, the Leon Family. I accept this challenge!¡± How could Mikhos not see what was going on in Lionel¡¯s mind? However, he was still extremely confident in this competition. The Leon Family didn¡¯t become the number one family in Storm City by simply depending on the soft power of money. When it comes to hard power, Mikhos was extremely confident too! You want to step on the Leon Family to climb up the ranks? Let¡¯s see if you have the ability! However, Mitchell could see it clearly from behind. Lionel¡¯s face broke into a winning smile right then. Chapter 23 - The Mysterious Man In Black And Dark Magic! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In the arena at the north of the city. The long history of mankind had long eliminated the bloody colosseum. But combat was still one of the entertainment methods that humans revered. Civilization had put on an outer coat on the bloodiness and called it pulling punches. Right now, the news of the duel between the Leon Clan and the Kerr Clan had already spread throughout the city. Even the commoners from the outer city had come to watch it. After all, their only chance to enter the inner city was to watch others fight in the arena. Therefore, the arena was already filled with people right now. The people from all the clans naturally wouldn¡¯t miss out on such a good show. Everyone wanted to see what price the Kerr Family would pay for opposing the Leon Family. No one believed that the Leon Family would lose. If they had to give a reason, then it was because that was the Leon Clan. This name was enough to explain everything. The people from both the Leon and Kerr families stood still in the battle preparation area on both sides of the stage. In terms of numbers, the two clans¡¯ battle strength was already very disparate. There were at least 20 people standing on the Leon Family¡¯s side. And all of them were extremely powerful experts. On the other hand, the Kerr family only had three to five people. The Leon Family was going to win this match in anyone¡¯s eyes. Many family heads were already lamenting that the new head of the Kerr Clan was indeed too young and impulsive. Wasn¡¯t this kind of competition equivalent to a suicide mission? *** An old man wearing a red robe with a black cross on it slowly walked up to the arena. This person wasn¡¯t an ordinary host. He was a cardinal from the church. There were three factions of power in Storm City. Apart from the royal family and the major families, the church was next. They did not belong to any power and need not listen to anyone. Although the church was only in charge of the arenas and churches in Storm City, due to it being the faith of many people, the church was rather powerful too. Now, since the two formidable families were going to fight in the arena, the church naturally had to send someone with a high status to host it. ¡°Today, the Leon Clan and the Kerr Clan will compete with each other. The format of the competition is one-on-one combat. There is no limit on the number of people, methods, or weapons. Whichever side completely admits defeat or loses the ability to fight, the other side wins. If the Leon Clan wins, they can obtain a fire lizard from the Kerr Clan. If the Kerr clan wins, they will gain control over the eastern marketplace that belongs to the Leon Clan. This competition is mainly about sparring. Regardless of the outcome, you are not allowed to take revenge after leaving the arena.¡± After the announcement, the cardinal slowly got off the stage and chanted. Then, an invisible wall of air slowly appeared at the edge of the arena and rose into the sky. With this wall of air around, no attacks would be able to spill out of the arena. It would ensure the safety of the audience. This was one of the reasons why the cardinal was appointed as the host. If the host was of a lower level, the air wall created would not be able to withstand the impact of the two clans¡¯ experts. However, the audience did not care about that. They were focused on the competition¡¯s conditions. ¡°The management rights of the eastern marketplace? Looks like the Kerr Family is being serious this time!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Kerr family to have such ambitions. Are they planning to fight to the death with the Leon family?¡± ¡°But, what is a fire lizard? Have you heard of it?¡± ¡°No¡­¡± Whether it was the noble families or the commoners, all of them began to discuss the prices that the two families had placed. However, no matter how huge the price that the Leon Clan offered, no one believed that they would lose. *** In next to no time, both sides sent out an expert onto the arena. The air wall rippled like water when the two of them passed through it. It was as if the air wall did not exist. However, it would not be so easy to come out once they entered it. Unless the cardinal voluntarily removed the air wall, no attack or person could pass through it. Many members of the noble families in the audience exclaimed when they saw the two of them. The Kerr clan had only sent out a masked man in a black robe, so naturally no one recognized him. But the experts sent by the Leon Family were all somebody. The Former Commander of the Imperial Guards¡ªColt! The Imperial Guards were specially assigned to protect the Imperial Family. Hence, their commander was naturally a top-notch expert! One could see from his identity that Colt was definitely not an ordinary person. At the same time, it also reflected how powerful the Leon Family was. The family could even recruit the former commander of the imperial guards. It was obvious that the Leon Family¡¯s status in Storm City was indeed unrivaled. Immediately, everyone felt that there was no suspense in this match. The Leon Clan had sent out experts of such high level. On the other hand, the Kerr Clan simply sent out a black-robed man who did not even dare to show his face. He was just a nobody. How dare he go against the Leon Clan with such dismal potential? He was really tired of living. *** On the stage, Colt was wearing golden armor and holding a huge powerful double-edged sword. He looked mighty and extraordinary like a general who was commanding thousands of troops. Since he had a background, the equipment on him naturally had a background too. There was an extremely handsome golden lion head on the chest of this golden armor. This armor was precisely the ¡®Lion King¡¯s Armor¡¯ that was bestowed by the Imperial Family. It was said to be impervious to swords and spears, and its defensive power was extremely strong. As for the double-edged sword in his hand, it was equally famous. Apparently, it was forged by a famous dwarf craftsman. The sword was 1.35 meters long and weighed 150 kilograms! However, Colt was simply lifting it up with one hand easily. In his hand, the sword seemed to be weightless. Right at that moment, Colt looked at the man in black opposite him arrogantly and said loudly, ¡°Although I don¡¯t know who you are, I advise you to admit defeat now. Otherwise, the swords and sabers have no eyes. You might get seriously hurt!¡± This statement was extremely arrogant, but Colt did have the status to say that. However, the black robed man opposite him didn¡¯t make any sound. Only his shoulders could be seen to tremble slightly. It was as if he had heard something funny. A look of anger immediately appeared on Colt¡¯s face when he saw the other party¡¯s reaction and his eyes flashed with the intent to kill. Without any hesitation, he charged forward with his sword in hand. The combination of his powerful battle technique and his strong physical body resulted in an astonishing speed. Almost instantly, Colt crossed the 20 meters long arena and arrived in front of the man in black. Before the audience could react, Colt had already raised his giant sword and slashed at the head of the man in black. Just when everyone thought that the man in black would be split into two by Colt, something unexpected happened. A large amount of black fog gushed out from the black robes of the black-robed man and pounced towards Colt. The next moment, Colt was tightly bound by the black fog like a rope. He was unable to move at all. Everyone was shocked to see that scene. This was dark magic! Chapter 24 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Everyone present was shocked. One had to know that in the minds of humans, dark magic was extremely evil. No one was willing to cultivate such a despicable magic. That was because dark magic would need to use human lives to accummulate in order to reach a certain level. Only by constantly killing could one increase the intensity of one¡¯s dark magic. Meanwhile, this person on the stage actually could use dark magic to subdue Colt on the spot so his strength was evident. In other words, the hands of the black-robed man were already fully covered in blood. There were probably thousands of vengeful spirits that had perished at his hands. Perhaps, they were even uncountable! The black mist suddenly appeared and bound Colt¡¯s body just when he was just about to slash the black-robed man into two. His limbs or body were all tightly bound by this black fog and he was unable to move at all. Right at that moment, the man in black slowly raised his head and revealed a pair of snake-like eyes. His long and narrow pupils made those present shudder in fear. He was like a venomous snake that could pounce on and take anyone¡¯s life at any time. Cold sweat broke out on Colt¡¯s forehead. His rich combat experience had let him sense danger acutely. There was only one thought in his mind now. Surrender! He had to surrender now. Any later and he would die right on the spot! Perhaps, it was Colt¡¯s long-held confidence that prevented him from thinking of surrendering immediately, or it was because everything happened so suddenly that he couldn¡¯t react fast enough. Just as he was about to shout out his surrender, the black mist once again bound his mouth! Colt¡¯s eyes widened in shock. He had never thought that he would need to surrender one day. Furthermore, he had never expected that his chance to surrender would be taken away by the other party too. *** On the periphery of the arena, Mikhos could see that Colt was in danger. He quickly shouted at the cardinal, ¡°We admit defeat in this round. Let them out!¡± There was no limit to the number of contestants, so Mikhos could still send someone else on stage even if Colt lost. There was no need for Colt to sacrifice himself in vain. However, the cardinal looked sternly at Mikhos and declared aloud, ¡°Lord Leon, please watch your words! Although this competition is between your two clans, once we¡¯re on the stage, this battle will be between the two of them. You have no right to strip a warrior of his honor!¡± The cardinal¡¯s words were firm and decisive. Mikhos¡¯s face darkened immediately, but he couldn¡¯t rebut him. There were indeed many warriors who would rather die than surrender. The cardinal¡¯s words made sense too. Meanwhile, Colt, who was on the field, had heard those words too and he cursed the cardinal¡¯s whole family in his heart. Damn it. When did I say that I would rather die than surrender? I wanted to f*cking surrender but I couldn¡¯t speak! Cold sweat was pouring down Colt¡¯s face like a waterfall. The black mist binding his body was getting tighter and tighter. It was already exceeding the limits of his endurance. The next second, a crisp sound came from the stage. Everyone could tell that Colt¡¯s bones were crushed and broken. And that black mist continued to contract. Finally, the man in black sneered. The black fog suddenly contracted forcefully and dismembered Colt right on the spot. A splash of blood sprayed onto the arena and onto the golden lion¡¯s head. The entire arena descended into silence. *** Seeing that his subordinate¡¯s life was taken needlessly like this, Mikhos pointed angrily at Lionel Kerr and shouted, ¡°Lionel, your subordinate is practicing dark magic. Aren¡¯t you afraid of incurring public anger?¡± Many members of the noble families turned to look at Lionel too. However, Lionel seemed to be prepared for this as he said unhurriedly, ¡°The Leon Clan does not have to worry about this. This is our Kerr Clan¡¯s matter. There is no rule in the arena that forbids the use of dark magic.¡± These words choked Mikhos up again. Indeed, as mentioned earlier, this competition did not restrict any weapons or methods. As long as they won, anything was fine. As for the investigations on dark magic, that would also be done after the competition. The Leon family would have to hand over control of the eastern marketplace to the Kerr Family if they lost this competition. If the Leon family refused to honor the bet and go back on their words, they would be attacked by the three great factions of Storm City. The nobles, the church, and even the royal family would never allow such a thing to happen in Storm City. Right now, Mikhos¡¯ expression was extremely sullen. He turned to look at the 20 experts behind him and asked in a deep voice, ¡°Do any of you here know how to deal with dark magic?¡± After hearing Mikhos¡¯ words, the 20-odd experts looked at each other silently. Dark magic had never appeared in Storm City before. It even rarely appeared on the entire continent. Nobody would know how to deal with it? No one actually dared to accept the challenge at that moment. On the other side, Lionel Kerr seemed to have noticed this as well and he mocked them openly, ¡°I¡¯ve always heard that the Leon Family is the number one family in Storm City. I never expect that you guys are only so-so.¡± In that instant, many nobles in the audience changed their minds. At first, they were here to see how the Kerr clan was going to lose to the Leon Clan. But now, they wanted to see just how humiliated the Leon Family, who always lorded over them, would be. *** On the Leon family¡¯s side, Mitchell, who was standing at the back, turned to look at Little Mitch behind his shoulder and asked softly, ¡°Little Mitch, can you deal with that dark magic?¡± Little Mitch immediately jumped out and danced on Mitchell¡¯s shoulder when it heard his question. Mitchell could understand that reaction, too. It seemed like it was able to handle it. Mitchell felt completely relieved at that thought. Since his uncle couldn¡¯t settle that problem, he naturally couldn¡¯t sit by and do nothing. Furthermore, he could obtain the Fire Lizard from the other party if he won. Mitchell knew from the name alone that this Fire Lizard would greatly increase his fire-element ability. Then, Mitchell would be able to cultivate fire magic more easily and it would definitely be greatly beneficial to him. After ascertaining that Little Mitch could handle the most troublesome dark magic, Mitchell immediately took a step forward. [Ding. Detected that Host has killed the mantis. Do you want to merge?] Mantis? Mitchell was a little startled and then he slowly lifted his foot. On the ground was a praying mantis corpse that he had just accidentally stepped on. Even though it was unintentional, the mantis was indeed killed by Mitchell. ¡°Yes.¡± Mitchell muttered to himself inwardly. In an instant, the praying mantis under his feet turned into specks of light and merged into Mitchell¡¯s body. [Congratulations to the Host for successfully fusing with the mantis and obtaining the gene¡ªTenfold Arm Enhancement] After obtaining the ability, Mitchell smiled. He had received another upgrade again. It seemed like it would only be a matter of time before he obtained the genes of all the species in the world. ¡°Leon Family, please send someone up to the stage.¡± The cardinal urging voice was heard. Mikhos¡¯s expression became very sullen. Sending these experts on stage was simply sending them to their deaths. It was meaningless. It seemed like the Leon Family was going to suffer a setback today. Mikhos sighed and raised his hand. He was ready to surrender. In the next moment, a figure walked straight up to the arena. ¡°I will take this round.¡± The youth with the silver spear and silver armor on stage became the center of attention instantaneously. Chapter 25 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations As soon as Mitchell stepped onto the stage, all sorts of discussions erupted. ¡°Who is this young man? How dare he fight against the dark magic?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know him. He looks familiar. He¡¯s probably a relative of Mikhos¡¯.¡± ¡°Aye, he¡¯s still too young. He didn¡¯t know the principle of the hunter will shoot the bird that sticks out.¡± ¡°There¡¯s going to be another corpse in the arena.¡± The people in the spectator stands were discussing animatedly, and the people behind Mikhos were naturally curious as well. ¡°Lord Leon, this is¡­¡± An old man in a magic robe came behind Mikhos and asked softly. This mage was Swain, Storm City¡¯s famous fire mage. Even he had no confidence in dealing with the enemy¡¯s dark magic, and yet this young man actually dared to go on stage. How could he not be curious about him? Mikhos swiftly said with shock on his face, ¡°Nephew, come back quickly. This is not an enemy that you can deal with!¡± Then, he shouted at the cardinal, ¡°Hurry. We admit defeat! Quickly remove the defensive force field and let my nephew come out!¡± The cardinal heard Mikhos, but his attitude remained the same. ¡°Leon Family, this is my last warning. You have no right to interfere in this battle! Even if you want to admit defeat, you¡¯ll have to wait until this match is over!¡± His words sank Mikhos¡¯ heart. He had just met the son of his long-lost sister. Was he going to watch Mitchell die so soon now? If possible, he would rather give up the management rights of the eastern marketplace straightaway . It was just a marketplace. It couldn¡¯t compare to his nephew¡¯s life. However, rules were rules. Under the church¡¯s enforcement, no one was able to break this rule. *** On the stage, Mitchell ignored what was happening below there and just stood there quietly. The black mist emerged from the black-robed man again and reached towards the corpse on the ground. No, to be precise, it was reaching for the Lion King Armor and the double-edged sword. Like agile hands, the black mist lifted the Lion King Armor and the double-edged sword from the ground and slowly brought them to Mitchell. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Mitchell asked as he looked at the equipment that was delivered to him. The black-robed man finally spoke in a horrible hoarse, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. This belongs to your Leon Clan, so it¡¯s naturally more suitable for you guys to keep it. Furthermore, another set of armor and weapons will be added to the stage soon. It will be more convenient for me to fight in the next battle.¡± It wasn¡¯t hard to tell from the black-robed man¡¯s words that he did not take Mitchell as a real opponent at all. Winning this nobody would be as easy as eating and drinking. The people whom he really wanted to kill were the famous experts standing behind Mikhos. Only those people were worthy of him using his full strength. Mitchell smirked before pulling out the Silver Dragon Spear from his back. He flipped the Lion King Armor and the double-edged sword up into the air forcefully. The Lion King Armor and the double-edged sword immediately flew into the sky. And Mitchell charged straight at the black-robed man. There was no point in saying anything more. The most practical course of action was to immediately defeat the other party with his strength. As for the other party¡¯s contempt, it did not affect Mitchell¡¯s mentality and emotions at all. He had been living under contemptuous gazes all these years. He was already used to such things. *** Mikhos¡¯ heart went to his throat when he saw Mitchell rush forward. Right now, he only hoped that Mitchell would only suffer a small loss before recognizing the gap between himself and his enemy and admit defeat. At least, he could preserve his life this way. As for the eastern marketplace, so be it if it was lost. Mikhos even hoped to declare the Leon Clan¡¯s defeat right now. The last thing he wanted to see was Mitchell getting killed. Not only him, but the other nobles were also staring at Mitchell too. But they weren¡¯t looking to see how Mitchell would react. Mitchell¡¯s death on the stage was almost certain in the eyes of these spectators. They only wanted to see how the black-robed man would attack him. In case their families encountered an enemy who used dark magic in the future, they would know how to deal with it. Mitchell was simply a sacrifice to help them gather information in their eyes. These nobles weren¡¯t the only ones who were thinking that way. The black-robed man thought that way too. Looking at the young man rushing towards him, the black-robed man sneered in disdain. His speed couldn¡¯t even match up to Colt. It was no different from suicide. Without any hesitation, the black mist immediately surrounded Mitchell under the man¡¯s control. The black mist was like countless venomous snakes twisting in the air. It made people shudder. Everyone could foresee that. The young man would be bound tightly by the black mist in the next second. Then, like Colt, he would be strangled into pieces and die right on the spot. However, an amazing scene appeared when all eyes were on the stage. A silver baby dragon suddenly jumped out from behind Mitchell, flapping its wings and letting out a dragon roar. Although its voice was very young and its figure was very petite, that roar was, without a doubt, a real dragon roar! The black-robed man¡¯s pupils constricted in extreme shock. The Leon Family actually had a silver dragon! Although it was still a young dragon, a dragon was still a dragon. There was no doubt about that. Furthermore, the silver dragon had an even more appropriate name. That was Magic Dragon! Following this tender dragon roar, the black mist froze on the spot. And then almost immediately, it disappeared without a trace. Mitchell¡¯s forward attack didn¡¯t slow down at all as he continued to charge straight at the black-robed man. Although the black-robed man was still in shock, he still managed to react. He immediately took off his black robe, revealing his true appearance. The audience gasped together. The black-robed man¡¯s bald head was densely covered with wounds left behind by various torture devices. It looked absolutely frightening. What was even more shocking was that there were two long blades at his waist! This black-robed man had both combat skills and magic! A vicious expression flashed across the black-robed man¡¯s face. He instantly drew out the two long sabers from his waist before charging toward Mitchell. ¡°Do you think you can beat me just because you have a silver dragon supporting you? Even without dark magic, I can still kill you!¡± Just as everyone was starting to get nervous. The situation on the stage was reversed once again. Mitchell still had a calm expression on his face. He swirled the spear in his hands once more before unleashing a barrage of attacks at the black-robed man. Countless spear shadows seemed to appear on the stage as the spear tips rained down on the black-robed man. It was so fast that it was impossible for anyone to see clearly! Before the black-robed man could even raise his hand, he was stabbed into a puddle of minced meat on the spot. And this only took two seconds. The entire arena fell silent instantly. Everyone had the same thought. This young man was definitely not an ordinary person! Chapter 26 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Looking at the puddle of flesh and blood on the ground, Mitchell swung the Silver Dragon Spear around twice to flick the blood off it. Afterwards, he walked back to his original position under everyone¡¯s gaze and calmly looked at the men in black behind the Kerr Clan. ¡°Who¡¯s next?¡± His tone was calm like an ancient well without any ripples. It was as if the intense battle just now was not worth mentioning at all. Now, Lionel was completely stunned. One had to know that those men in black were experts that he had paid a considerable price to hire. He didn¡¯t expect he would suffer a great loss from a young man who was a few years younger than him. However, there were still three experts behind him. As long as they go onstage¡­ At this thought, Lionel regained his calm expression. This young man must have won this round because of luck. Yes, that¡¯s right. He must have been too careless. Otherwise, how could he have been so easily dealt with? Lionel turned around and quickly asked the other three men in black behind him, ¡°Which one of you will be going up next? We must not be careless this time.¡± The three men in black behind him did not speak. Not only that, they didn¡¯t even spare a look at Lionel. All three of them were staring intently at Mitchell right now. More accurately speaking, they were staring at the young dragon behind Mitchell. This was a silver dragon! Others might not understand, but they knew very well. A young dragon was absolutely priceless in the black market. Many nobles wanted to buy a young dragon for fun. Moreover, this young dragon was the most powerful silver dragon among the dragon race! That was enough to increase the price of this young dragon by ten times. Greed appeared in their eyes. There was no point in staying here any longer. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Lord Kerr.¡± ¡°We won¡¯t be getting involved in this mess with you.¡± With that, the three men in black left the arena. *** That scene stunned everyone. They thought that there would be an even more intense battle coming up. Why did those people standing behind the Kerr Family leave? Were they afraid of the young man on the stage? Immediately, everyone could not help but look at Mitchell on stage. With his silver spear and silver armor, he looked valiant and heroic! The people who had wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to follow the Kerr Family and ruthlessly trample on the Leon family initially, had all begun to reconsider. Even without that young man, the Leon Clan wasn¡¯t so easy to deal with. And now with this young man in the family, the Leon Family had become an even more thorny giant. His attacks were ruthless and his moves were precise and fast. He definitely had quite a high attainment in battle techniques. What was even more shocking was that this young man actually had a silver dragon. Although it was only a young dragon, it could dispel dark magic. It was a fact that everyone could see. This way, the Leon Family¡¯s reputation as the number one family in Storm City would be even more stable. *** At the side of the arena, the cardinal sternly urged Lionel Kerr, ¡°Lord Kerr, please send someone up as soon as possible. If no one is going up, then the Kerr Clan will lose this match.¡± The cardinal who seemed to be targeting the Leon Family initially now had a 180-degree change in attitude. Now it was Lionel Kerr who was being targeted. Hearing the cardinal¡¯s words, Mikhos felt even more gratified than soaking in ice water in the middle of summer. It was finally Kerr¡¯s turn to feel this kind of f*cked up feeling. Lionel Kerr, on the other hand, looked terrible. After all, he had given the church a lot of benefits just for this competition so that he could target the Leon Family in this competition. He didn¡¯t expect that the church would immediately turn on him once they saw that he had lost power! At that moment, the chatter began to appear in the audience, as if they were all expressing their displeasure at Lionel Kerr¡¯s inaction. They were here to watch the battle, and not to watch him hem and haw. These discussions undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Lionel. Right now, Lionel¡¯s face was already completely dark. Actually, the plan to antagonize the Leon Family wasn¡¯t initiated by him. It was those men in black who came to his door and tricked him into it. Not only did those men in black help him obtain the position of patriarch, but they also promised that they would help him trample over the Leon Clan and make their Kerr Clan the number one clan in Storm City. However, they also asked for a lot of benefits from Lionel. Antagonizing the Leon Family wasn¡¯t a small matter. Since he had done it, there was no way he could turn back. In order to guarantee success, he even secretly gave the church many benefits. But now? The people in the church had already turned against him, and the men in black left without any care for him. What made him feel even more despair was that he had completely offended the Leon Clan this time. There was no longer any room for negotiation. The discussions around them grew louder and louder, gradually turning into denouncements. Lionel finally couldn¡¯t withstand the immense pressure and announced his surrender. *** The audience dispersed in satisfaction after hearing Lionel declare his surrender. The most interesting part was already over. There was nothing else to see anymore. Next, all they needed to do was stay at home comfortably and enjoy watching how the Leon Family completely destroyed the Kerr Family. If the Leon Clan had not been so strong, they might have felt pity for the destruction of the Kerr Clan. After all, the enemy of an enemy was a friend. Losing a friend was still rather sad. But the Leon Clan was simply too formidable. It wasn¡¯t an existence that could be easily defeated by their combined efforts. If the Kerr Clan successfully took away the management rights of the eastern marketplace, it would definitely be a huge blow to the Leon Clan. They might even consider taking the opportunity to continue suppressing the Leon clan then. But the Kerr family failed. Everyone understood the principle that the winner takes all. Not only did they give up on the idea of using this opportunity to attack with the Leon Family, there were even some families that were already thinking of how to deal with the Kerr Family, so they could butter up the Leon Family. This world was simply so realistic, cold, and heartless. Interests and benefits were always the most important. Lionel¡¯s expression was already grim. He naturally knew what he would be facing next. Mitchell, on the other hand, walked over slowly and said calmly, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you hand over the agreed Fire Lizard?¡± The corners of Lionel¡¯s eyes twitched upon hearing that. He looked at the cardinal instinctively. All he received was a threatening look. Obviously, if Lionel dared to go back on his word or reveal that he had colluded with the church, the church definitely would not let him off. Faced with the pressure from multiple factions, Lionel lowered his head resentfully and said in a deep voice, ¡°I¡¯ll send the Fire Lizard to your residence now.¡± Mitchell didn¡¯t pester him further. He simply nodded and said, ¡°Alright.¡± Then, he left. Staring at Mitchell¡¯s back, Lionel was already resenting this strange young man. ¡°If this guy wasn¡¯t here to stir things up¡­¡± A vicious plan formed in Lionel¡¯s mind uncontrollably. Chapter 27 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations With the supervision of the church, the Kerr Family naturally did not dare to go back on their word. The Fire Lizard was swiftly sent to the Leon Family mansion. Mikhos looked at the netted box that the old butler handed over and carefully examined the Fire Lizard. This Fire Lizard had a fiery red body, and even its eyes were red. Other than that, it seemed no different from other lizards. He looked suspiciously at the fire lizard and said, ¡°Is it possible that the Kerr Family simply sent a red lizard to fool us? I don¡¯t see anything special about this lizard other than its fiery red body.¡± Mitchell pondered for a moment before came forward, ¡°Uncle, why don¡¯t you let me take a look?¡± Mikhos asked Mitchell in surprise, ¡°Can you tell what this is?¡± Mitchell nodded slightly and said mildly, ¡°I may see some clues if I take a closer look.¡± Since Mitchell had said so, Mikhos naturally wouldn¡¯t refuse. He handed the metal box over to Mitchell. Actually, Mitchell knew nothing about fire lizards. But not knowing didn¡¯t mean that he couldn¡¯t ascertain it. As soon as Mitchell took the metal box, a system prompt appeared in his mind. [Ding. Detected that Host has subdued the fire lizard. Do you want to merge immediately?] After receiving the system prompt, Mitchell smiled faintly and nodded, ¡°It¡¯s right. This lizard is the legendary Fire Lizard.¡± Mikhos was also a little surprised to see that Mitchell had confirmed it so quickly. He lamened inwardly that his nephew was indeed not simple. Not only did he possess great power, but he also had a good understanding of these rare beasts. He was indeed a talent. But Mikhos didn¡¯t ask how Mitchell could tell it. To him, the fire lizard was meaningless. It was just a gift for Mitchell. Since his nephew was satisfied, that was enough. Nothing else mattered to him. Mikhos turned to the butler, ¡°Colt sacrificed for my Leon¡¯s family, so we must make sure his family is properly settled.¡± The old butler replied softly, ¡°I¡¯ve already sent someone to do it.¡± Mikhos was only relieved then. The old butler, Neil, had followed him for many years, and had always been reliable. At this moment, the old butler hesitated and whispered, ¡°My lord, I don¡¯t think the Kerr family will let this go easily. Moreover, the men in black who appeared in the arena today don¡¯t seem to be from the Kerr clan. We must be on guard.¡± Mikhos narrowed his eyes and nodded, ¡°Yes, I think so too. However, the Kerr family is just a clown. They are nothing to worry about. What we really need to guard against are those masked men in black. When the men in black saw Mitchell come forward, they immediately chose to leave, as if they were not working for the Kerr family at all. Seems like another power is unable to restrain themselves and has launched an attack on our Leon Family.¡± Mikhos was not surprised by that at all. He naturally knew better than anyone else about the principle that the tallest tree attracts the wind. On the surface, the Leon family was the number one family in Storm City. But in the dark, there were countless people who wished for the Leon Family to fall. He could almost assert that if the Leon Family had lost today in the arena and lost their rights to run the eastern marketplace, trouble would soon follow. Countless people would be taking advantage of the Leon Family¡¯s weakened strength and stepping on them. ¡°Neil, send someone to gather information immediately. We must investigate exactly which faction of power those black clothed figures belong to.¡± *** After tying up the loose ends with Mikhos, Mitchell left the living room and returned to his abode. Although the system had reminded him countless times in his mind, Mitchell did not immediately choose to fuse with the lizard. Unlike ants or mantises, which would only produce small particles of light even if they fused in front of others. If one did not look carefully, one wouldn¡¯t be able to tell. However, the Fire Lizard was the size of a palm. If he fused with it rashly, it was very likely that he would be seen by others. Then, the secret of him having a system would then be at a risk being exposed. Even if it was only a one in a million chance of it happening, Mitchell would do his best to avoid that. If news of this got out, the entire continent would probably view Mitchell as their number one public enemy and attack him together. Who would allow an existence that could integrate all the genes in the world to slowly become stronger? They would definitely kill Mitchell before he rose. Knowing the severity of the conditions, Mitchell suppressed his excitement along the way and didn¡¯t attempt to merge. Once he got inside the hut, the system gave another notification again. This time, Mitchell finally gave his answer. ¡°Yes.¡± Immediately, the fire lizard in the net turned into light particles and floated towards Mitchell¡¯s glabella. A burning sensation appeared in Mitchell¡¯s body, but he didn¡¯t frown at all. Instead, a look of joy appeared on his face. Mitchell knew that this meant that the fire lizard could indeed enhance his fire attribute. With his elemental affinity talent, it would be very easy for him to practice fire magic now! After a while, the burning sensation disappeared and a new notification sounded. [Congratulations to the Host for successfully fusing with the Fire Lizard and obtaining the gene¡ªTenfold Fire Enhancement] Now, Mitchell finally smiled. It seemed that he had to find a way to begin cultivating fire magic now. *** Outside Storm City, in the dense forest. The three men in black stopped in front of a cave. If someone from Storm City was here, they would recognize them at the first glance. These three were the men in black who were in the arena today to fight for the Kerr Family! The leader of the men in black did not enter the cave. Instead, he walked to the mountain wall beside the cave. He reached out his right hand and placed it on a protruding rock, gently twisting it. This seemingly ordinary stone wall actually moved to the side after shaking for a moment. It covered the cave beside it. It seemed like the entrance of the cave had changed. It turned out that what was revealed now was, in fact, the true entrance to the cave. And the cave earlier was just a cover. The three men in black entered the cave. And the mountain wall returned to its original position a moment later. No signs of previous movement could be seen at all. After the mountain wall completely closed, the cave was plunged into darkness for a brief moment. Then, suddenly, it was brightly lit. It turned out that the cave was a man-made corridor. On both sides of it were magic lights. The three of them stepped onto the corridor and arrived at a large damp cave. There was a seat made of jade at the innermost part of the cave. A person whose face could not be seen was sitting on it and he said to the three men in black, ¡°How¡¯s the matter going?¡± The man in black immediately replied, ¡°Reporting to my lord, the competition has failed. The Leon Family still has control over the eastern marketplace.¡± The man on the jade seat did not make a single move. However, all the three men in black involuntarily knelt down. ¡°You should know about the consequences of failing a mission, right?¡± There wasn¡¯t any hint of anger in his voice, as if he did not care much about this failure or their lives. The leader of the men in black endured the pressure and hurriedly said, ¡°Although our mission has failed, we discovered something even more important! ¡°What is it?¡± At this moment, the man in black realized that the pressure on his body had lessened. He heaved a sigh of relief and said excitedly, ¡°We discovered that the Leon Family has a silver baby dragon!¡± ¡°Silver Dragon?!¡± This news startled the man in the seat. Then, he tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, ¡°No matter who the other party is, we must snatch the silver dragon!¡± There seemed to be a hint of excitement in his voice. As long as they could snatch this silver dragon, the Dark Moon Sect would definitely dominate the entire continent! Chapter 28 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°You want to learn fire magic?¡± Looking at Mitchell standing calmly in front of him, Mikhos was slightly taken aback. It was not that he felt that there was anything wrong with wanting to learn magic. However, someone had just asked him about it earlier. That was the famous fire mage in Storm City who was in liege to the Leon Family¡ªSwain. Swain had already seen it in the arena. Mitchell¡¯s combat skills were definitely not cultivated to a high level. Everyone thought that Mitchell had powerful combat skills. But Swain knew better. That tempestuous combo was only executed with a powerful physical body. It was not a battle technique. If Mitchell had trained in combat skills since young, Swain would not have had much of an opinion then. However, since he could tell that Mitchell had never practiced any battle techniques before, things were different. In Swain¡¯s stubborn opinion, as long as he was not corrupted by the ¡®crude¡¯ combat skills, he could try to practice magic. In addition, Mitchell had the Silver Dragon¡¯s support. He would definitely achieve twice the results with half the effort. So Swain brought up the idea of taking Mitchell in as a disciple. And Mikhos¡¯s answer to him was that everything depended on Mitchell¡¯s own wishes. There was nothing he could do if Mitchell was unwilling to practice magic. Of course, even though he said that, Mikhos actually didn¡¯t think that Mitchell would agree. After all, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that Mitchell was definitely a good seedling for cultivating battle techniques. Whether it was his weapon, armor, or the talent he displayed, they were all clearly more suitable for battle techniques. Such a child was definitely not interested in magic. But then, Mitchell himself took the initiative to bring this up. Mikhos didn¡¯t expect that at all. ¡°Since you want to learn that, of course I won¡¯t stop you. It¡¯s just that I think you have quite a good talent in battle techniques.¡± Mikhos himself was a warrior who was trained in battle techniques, so he felt that it was a pity when he heard that Mitchell wanted to learn magic. But Mitchell said mildly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Uncle. I will also be learning battle techniques.¡± Hearing Mitchell¡¯s words, Mikhos said nothing more. There were indeed many people who chose to cultivate magic and martial arts together, but it was already very difficult to cultivate one of them to a certain extent, the difficulty would be doubled if one wanted to achieve results in both of them. Hence, Mikhos actually didn¡¯t approve of that in his mind. But since Mitchell had his own ideas, Mikhos naturally couldn¡¯t say no to him. ¡°When he finds it too difficult, maybe he will give it up.¡± Mikhos thought. ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll let Swain teach you fire magic. As for battle techniques, I will help you find an expert who is good at using spears. You are my nephew, so your teacher naturally can¡¯t be a mediocre one.¡± Mikhos stood with his hands behind his back, looking very proud. Not only was he proud of Mitchell¡¯s talent, but he was also proud of his Leon Family. Which family or clan was as strong as the Leon Family? As long as Mikhos wanted to, he could find any expert in the human race to be Mitchell¡¯s teacher. Mitchell did not doubt that at all and only nodded slightly to thank him. He could see that Mikhos did not support his decision to do dual cultivation. But Mitchell was someone who had a system. Dual cultivation was the best choice for him. *** Soon, Swain was summoned by the men sent by Mikhos. ¡°Are you willing to learn fire magic from me?¡± Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, Swain could not contain his excitement. All these years, he wasn¡¯t able to find a suitable person to inherit his legacy. If Mitchell could learn all his skills, he would be able to live the rest of his life in peace. How could he not be excited? Looking at Swain, Mitchell nodded respectfully. ¡°Teacher Swain, please guide me along.¡± Swain was delighted to hear the word ¡°teacher¡± from him. Mind you, Mitchell was Mikhos¡¯ nephew. Although he was also a famous and respected mage in Storm City, many noble children actually didn¡¯t know how to respect experts like them. So Mitchell¡¯s behavior made Swain even more pleased with him. In that case, Mitchell, you would be learning from Swain. As for the battle technique, I will arrange it for you later.¡± ¡°Battle technique?¡± Swain looked at Mikhos in disbelief. Didn¡¯t he say that he wanted to learn fire magic from him? Perhaps, it was just for fun? In the end, Mitchell still wanted to learn battle techniques?! ¡°Teacher Swain, I¡¯ve decided to cultivate magic and martial arts together.¡± Mitchell¡¯s calm words made Swain frown. ¡°Child, you have to think carefully. Dual cultivation in magic and martial arts is not an easy path to walk. Most people ended up learning nothing of these two after they embark on this journey¡± Swain¡¯s worried expression was written all over his face. Initially, he thought that Mitchell did not understand what dual-cultivation meant, so he wanted to advise him. But, Mitchell did not waver at all. He simply said calmly, ¡°Teacher Swain, I¡¯ve already made my decision. I won¡¯t be changing my mind. Please rest assured, Teacher. I will definitely work hard on my training in fire magic.¡± At this point, Swain naturally could not say anything more. He had the same thoughts as Mikhos. Mitchell would probably know how difficult it was when he officially started dual cultivation. He would persuade him again when that time came. Meanwhile, Mikhos was looking at Mitchell with admiration. This brat sounded like him when he was young. Once he made a decision, he would not make any changes to it. That was very similar to his uncle. Thinking of this, Mikhos had complicated feelings. He wanted Mitchell to keep his word. Yet on the other hand, he hoped that Mitchell could give up on the idea of dual-cultivation as soon as possible. After a moment, Mikho sighed and walked out of the living room. He would just let things take their natural course when it comes to Mitchell. Only Mitchell and Swain were left in the living room now. Seeing Mitchell¡¯s determined expression, Swain sighed, ¡°Since you¡¯ve already decided, I won¡¯t be saying anything more. Then let¡¯s start the cultivation right now.¡± Swain stretched out his right hand with his palm facing up. Then, he narrowed his eyes. Soon, a fireball converged on his right palm, and it was slowly expanding. When the fireball became the size of a basketball, Swain said, ¡°This is the fire element¡¯s simplest spell¡ªFireball. The trick is to sense the fire element in the air and converge it in your palm. However, there¡¯s a saying that the beginning is always the hardest. It¡¯s still too early for you to converge them directly. Let¡¯s try to sense the fire elements in the air first.¡± Swain shifted his gaze away from the fireball in his hand and looked at Mitchell. The next moment, his eyes widened. ¡°F*ck! What happened?¡± Mitchell¡¯s actions were exactly the same as Swain¡¯s. However, in his hands, a fireball that was no smaller than Swain¡¯s had already formed. ¡°Teacher Swain, is that like this?¡± Mitchell asked calmly. Chapter 29 - Today Might Be The Day That The Leon Family Mansion Would Have The Most Profanities. Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Mikhos, who had just walked a short distance away, heard the commotion in the living room. He looked rather annoyed. What was wrong with Swain? Did he not know that vulgarities were not allowed in the territory of the Leon Family? If news of this were to spread, the entire Storm City would think that the Leon Family had no class. Strength and nobility were two different matters. With a few experts around, the bandits could be considered as powerful. But the Leon Family were not bandits. At this thought, he turned back unhappily. He wanted to have a word with Swain. The next moment, another ¡°fu*k¡± came from the living room. This time, Mikhos was truly enraged. He quickened his pace and said angrily before he entered the living room, ¡°Swain, have you forgotten what I said¡­ F*ck!¡± Before he could finish, Mikhos himself burst out with a swear. He was surprised to see a huge fireball about half a meter in diameter had converged in Mitchell¡¯s palm. Seeing this, Mikhos¡¯ brain stopped working completely. What is going on? Didn¡¯t Mitchell say he hadn¡¯t studied magic before, so he wanted to try? You¡¯re f**king telling me this is called hadn¡¯t studied magic before? You¡¯re f**king telling me this is called trying it out? Mikhos had tried to learn magic when he was young. However, magic was simply too difficult! Simply extracting a certain element from the air alone was already very difficult. And converging these elements into real magic was even harder. Thus, after only a month of learning, Mikhos had completely given up on magic and switched to combat skills. Mitchell¡¯s actions had completely overturned his ingrained beliefs right now. *** Mitchell had already stopped converging the fire element now. It wasn¡¯t that he could not make the fireball any bigger. In fact, he suddenly discovered a serious problem. That was, he did not know how to get rid of this fireball. If it continued to converge, it would definitely become even larger. In other words, the fireball would become even more difficult to get rid of. He had no choice but to turn to Swain for help, ¡°Teacher Swain, what should I do next?¡± ¡°Next?¡± Swain was slightly taken aback. After other students could converge fireballs, they almost did not need to learn how to disperse fireballs. That was because when others reached this stage, their control over the elements had already reached a certain level. In other words, it was impossible to successfully converge a fireball without attaining a certain level. However, Mitchell was completely different! It was because he had the genes of [Tenfold Element Affinity] and [Tenfold Fire Enhancement] that he could easily extract the fire element in the air and easily converge them into a fireball. But Mitchell had no idea how to control these elements. Seeing Swain was rooted to the ground in a daze, Mitchell thought he had asked a stupid question. He instinctively said, ¡°Perhaps, I should throw it out straight away?¡± In Mitchell¡¯s opinion, after converging a fireball, he definitely would have to throw it out. Otherwise, why would he learn how to converge a fireball? But both Swain and Mikhos panicked and waved their hands at the same time when they heard Mitchell¡¯s words, ¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t. Please don¡¯t throw it out!¡± Cold sweat oozed from Mikhos¡¯s forehead. If the fireball was thrown out directly and hit the living room, it would take at least a month to repair the mansion. *** ¡°Ahem, Mitchell. Please try to pull the fire element out of the fireball again and release it into the air.¡± Even Swain had never learned how to disperse the fireball in his hand when he had just learned magic when he was young It was as if a person who could run, would know how to walk. Therefore, Swain could only rely on his own understanding to make it as simple as possible. Mitchell nodded and gently closed his eyes as he concentrated on sensing the fire element in the fireball. Soon, the fireball shrank at an extremely fast speed under Mitchell¡¯s mind control. In just two seconds, the fireball that was about half a meter big had completely disappeared. As Mitchell had released a large amount of fire elements into the air, the living room was already as hot as a steam oven now. Although these fire elements were also extracted from the air, before the extraction, these fire elements were stable. But after Mitchell extracted them and converged them into a fireball, The fire elements became active and released a large amount of heat naturally. Mikhos wiped the sweat from his face and said to Swain, ¡°Why don¡¯t you two go outside to practice?¡± Swain nodded silently. It was getting too hot in here. Moreover, what had just happened was too shocking. He needed to go to a cooler place to digest this information. *** A moment later, Mitchell followed Mikhos and Swain to the courtyard, while Little Mitch stayed in the living room. As a magic dragon, Little Mitch liked places where magical elements were active. To it, it was equivalent to humans going to an environment with sufficient oxygen. In the courtyard, Swain cleared his throat and said, ¡°Since you¡¯ve learned Fireball Technique so quickly, I¡¯ll teach you a more advanced spell.¡± Mitchell immediately put on a more serious expression. Powerful fire magic was exactly what he wanted to learn. He naturally did not fancy the Fireball Technique, which was a low-level spell. And Mkihos¡¯s expression turned serious too. Although he had always said that magic was only so-so and nothing was more impressive than battle techniques, seeing Mitchell¡¯s talent stirred something within Mikhos. Perhaps, his magic teacher in his youth wasn¡¯t a good teacher? Mitchell had the same blood as him. Furthermore, Mitchell even had half of the orc bloodline in him. And orc blood was the least suitable for learning magic. So, if Mitchell could learn it, then he might be able to learn it too. Therefore, he also wanted to try to learn it secretly. Soon, Swain extended his palm out again. But unlike before, this time Swain raised his palm up high and pointed at the sky. ¡°This move is called the Sea of Fire. The difference between it and the Fireball is that the Fireball spell is to extract the fire element from the air and converge it on the palm of the hand to form a fireball, while the Sea of Fire Technique, it converges the fire elements within the body and then releases them through the palm. Watch carefully.¡± Swain was already extracting the fire elements in the air as he spoke. At that moment, he had finished converging. ¡°Whoosh!¡± After chanting an unknown incantation, Swain¡¯s palm immediately shot out a fan-shaped wave of flames towards the sky. To others, it indeed looked like a sea of fire. After the flames dissipated a moment later, Swain looked at Mitchell and chuckled, ¡°Child, the difficulty of this technique is completely different from the Fireball Technique. The crux is¡­ F*ck!¡± Swain swore again. Today might be the day that the Leon Family¡¯s Mansion had the most profanities. Chapter 30 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Now, even Mikhos was speechless. He sucked in a breath of cold air right on the spot too. It was because he saw it with his own eyes this time. A fan-shaped flame that was bigger than Swain had just spewed out from Mitchell¡¯s palm. Now, Mikhos finally understood. It wasn¡¯t because the teacher who taught him back then was incapable. It was because he was incapable. It wasn¡¯t because Swain had taught Mitchell well. Mitchell was obviously extremely gifted! In all his years alive, Mikhos had never seen anyone learn magic that quickly! No matter how good a teacher was, they wouldn¡¯t be able to produce such an effect. Instinctively, Mikhos and Swain exchanged glances. Both of them saw surprise in each other¡¯s eyes. Mitchell was definitely a genius in magic! ¡°Child, how did you do that?¡± Swain asked instinctively. Mitchell was silent for a moment before saying seriously, ¡°I simply followed your instructions, Sir.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Swain fell silent. ¡°¡­¡± Mikhos fell silent as well. After a moment, Swain said hesitantly, ¡°Why don¡¯t you practice the Sea of Fire for a while first¡­¡± Boom! Another burst of flame erupted from Mitchell¡¯s palm. This time, the flames were twice as large as the one before. Under Swain and Mikhos¡¯ stunned stares, Mitchell said flatly, ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll have to. I think I¡¯m already familiar with it.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Swain fell silent again. If it were any other student, Swain would definitely be angry upon hearing that. Moreover, he would cast even more powerful spells on the spot to show the students what true proficiency was. But this time, Swain could not do so. That was because he had no way of making a Sea of Fire that was bigger than Mitchell¡¯s. This, in turn, led to¡­ Swain ¡ªwho had learned magic for so many years and taught countless disciples ¡ª being at a loss for words for the first time. Eventually, Mikhos cleared his throat and said, ¡°Mr. Swain, I think you should teach him some powerful magic and let him practice. Although saying that might make Mitchell proud, blindly suppressing him can sometimes backfire.¡± Swain nodded in agreement. Indeed, since Mitchell could master the Sea of Fire so quickly, he was definitely not a fool. He definitely wouldn¡¯t believe him if he insisted that he was not skilled enough. It would be better to teach him a truly difficult spell than making a clumsy lie. That way, Mitchell should realize how small he actually was. ¡°Since Lord Leon said so, then I will teach you a very powerful fire magic.¡± At that moment, Little Mitch poked its head out curiously and looked at the three people in the courtyard. It could clearly sense that there were more elements in the air outside than in the living room. ¡°Watch carefully. This move can only be learned after learning fire magic for more than three years.¡± ¡°Fire Dragon Spell!¡± Swain shouted. A flame suddenly shot out from his palm. However, it was different from the earlier Sea of Fire. This time, Swain spewed out a huge dragon head. Behind the dragon head was a long, twisting pillar-shaped flame. It looked like an ancient Eastern dragon covered in flames! *** The courtyard immediately became unbearably hot as soon as the Fire Dragon Spell appeared. It was as if the entire courtyard had turned into a huge oven. Despite the heat, Mikhos didn¡¯t bother to wipe his sweat. He stared fixedly at the fire dragon flying towards the sky without blinking. This was the first time he had seen a real Fire Dragon Spell! This was real fire magic! Everything in its path was incinerated! Finally, a dragon tail emerged from Swain¡¯s palm. The entire Fire Dragon Spell was finally completed. After watching his Fire Dragon spell fly into the sky, Swain took a deep breath and said, ¡°Child, did you see that? That is the true power of fire magic! What you have learnt earlier was only¡­¡± Swain¡¯s words were cut off again. A dragon¡¯s roar came from Mitchell¡¯s palm. Then, a dragon head that was almost as big as Swain¡¯s emerged from Mitchell¡¯s palm. Hot flames appeared once again, making the courtyard even hotter. However, Swain and Mikhos, who had sweat all over their faces, didn¡¯t notice the heat at all. That was because the scene in front of them was even more shocking than the heat. Fire Dragon Spell, the advanced fire magic was executed by Mitchell so easily? This could no longer be described as genius. This was clearly a monster! After the dragon¡¯s tail flew out from Mitchell¡¯s palm and went into the sky, Mitchell looked at Swain again. Although he didn¡¯t say anything, Swain understood the look in Mitchell¡¯s eyes. Mitchell¡¯s eyes were clearly saying, Is this high-level fire magic? That¡¯s it? Right now, Swain¡ªthe famous fire mage in Storm City¡ªactually felt insignificant for the first time. One had to know that the difficulty of the Fire Dragon Spell was several times harder than that of the Sea of Fire Technique! Not only did he have to converge the fire element in his body first, he also had to maintain the appearance of the fire dragon while releasing magic and make the fire dragon move towards the direction that he wanted it to go. Its difficulty was not something that could be explained in a few words. Even Swain himself spent a whole year learning the Fire Dragon Spell! But now, Mitchell, who had just come into contact with magic, had learnt it immediately. How could this not shock him? ¡°Genius¡­¡± ¡°He¡¯s a genius!¡± Swain finally spoke with a trembling voice after a long time. Mikhos was also staring at his nephew whom Swain called a genius. In his daze, Mikhos even sensed that he was feeling a little jealous. He quickly suppressed his thoughts and revealed a gratified smile, ¡°Great. You are indeed my nephew! You actually managed to successfully cast such a powerful spell on your first attempt. It¡¯s truly an eye-opener! I don¡¯t think I can find a second person in the world¡­ No, I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s no other creature as outstanding as you in this world!¡± Swain actually didn¡¯t find anything wrong with Mikhos¡¯ exaggerated praise. Right now, he also felt that Mikhos was right. ¡°Indeed. There can¡¯t be another creature in this world¡­¡± ¡°Ow!¡± Before Swain could finish his sentence, Little Mitch, who had been watching from the side, suddenly cried out. Then, a mini Fire Dragon Spell shot out from Little Mitch¡¯s mouth. A moment later, Little Mitch proudly looked at the three people in the courtyard. Except for Mitchell, Swain and Mikhos both looked embarrassed. Swain chuckled and corrected himself, ¡°Haha. There¡¯s absolutely no other race in the world that can reach this level¡­ ¡­except the Dragons¡­¡± Chapter 31 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At night, Mitchell lay in bed and looked at the sleeping Little Mitch next to him. He was deep in thought. During the day, he had personally seen Little Mitch use the Fire Dragon Spell. Although it was much weaker than what he and Swain had displayed, it was still a success. He was only able to do it because he had [Tenfold Element Affinity] and [Tenfold Fire Enhancement]. And Swain had been training hard for decades. However, even a newborn baby dragon like Little Mitch was able to successfully cast it. The power of the dragon genes was evident. This caused Mitchell¡¯s heart to waver. Should he merge Little Mitch into him? The system seemed to have sensed Mitchell¡¯s thoughts and cooperatively gave him a system prompt. [Ding. Detected that Host has subdued the silver dragon. Do you want to merge?] At that moment, Mitchell hesitated. But he immediately gave an answer in the next moment. ¡°No.¡± Mitchell instantly felt more relaxed after refusing to merge. He knew he was not a good person, but he was definitely not an animal. He would hesitate and waver in the face of great benefits, but he could maintain his bottom line. Although it was just a coincidence, Little Mitch really did take Mitchell as its father. This relationship was genuine. If Mitchell chose to merge with Little Mitch, he would probably look down on himself for the rest of his life. Mitchell smiled warmly at Little Mitch, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. He gently caressed the beautiful silver scales on Little Mitch¡¯s body. Little Mitch seemed to have sensed something in its sleep. Although it did not wake up, it shook its little head and gently rubbed its head against Mitchell¡¯s palm. Although he had not been in this world for long, he had already experienced many things. Other than Uncle Mikhos, the one who had the most genuine feelings for him, was probably this little baby dragon. With that thought in mind, Mitchell gently blew out the lamp on the bedside table and covered himself and Little Mitch with a blanket. *** The moon was not bright tonight, and the cold wind rustled the plants in the mansion. Two black shadows, one tall and one short, flashed across the roof beam, moving quickly. After all, it was the Leon Family who had the greatest influence in Storm City. There were more or less some people patrolling at night. However, no one could have guessed that someone would dare to trespass into the Leon Family¡¯s mansion. They reached the roof of a side room very soon. With no sound, and no illumination tool to assist them, the two of them simply exchanged hand gestures on the beam. ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s here?¡± ¡°Yes. I can sense the Silver Dragon¡¯s aura.¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s get ready.¡± Both of their gestures were very fast, but there was no sluggishness in their communication. Clearly, the two of them had a very deep rapport. They were probably professionals who often came out at night. After their discussion, the two of them gently flipped forward, grabbed the roof and rolled down. They didn¡¯t make a single sound. The two of them actually managed to sneak into the mansion of the number one family in Storm City without anyone noticing. Then, under the cover of the night and their black clothes, the two of them boldly crouched outside the door and listened to the sounds inside. The breathing was very even. It seemed like the person inside was asleep. The two of them looked at each other and gestured at the same time. ¡°Now!¡± The moment they received the other party¡¯s signal, the two of them moved without any hesitation and directly broke through the door. The short man pulled out a black dagger from his waist. The dagger seemed to have been forged in a special way that did not reflect light at all. As for the tall man, he took out a blow dart from his bosom. It was obvious that the blow darts were coated with poison. From the looks of it, their identity was very clear. Professional assassins! Unlike other killers, they were used to doing everything quietly. They were confident in their movement and techniques and could move without making any sound. However, these two assassins knew very well that anything could cause complications. If they opened the door and opened the window carefully, it was entirely possible that a slight noise would cause all their efforts to go to waste. They might as well just charge in and kill the target before leaving quickly. Without any hesitation! Mitchell opened his eyes almost as soon as he heard the commotion. However, the moment he opened his eyes, danger was already approaching him. A pure black dagger without any luster was stabbing towards his heart. At the same time, there was an extremely soft swoosh from the door. An almost imperceptible arrow flew towards his face. Instantly, Mitchell swung his body to dodge the blow arrow. His hand quickly reached out and grabbed the man¡¯s wrist tightly like a vise. The two men in black were secretly shocked when they saw this scene. Unexpectedly, the opponent was able to react the moment the attack arrived, perfectly neutralizing their attacks! However, although they were surprised, their hands reacted instinctively. The tall man in black at the door immediately loaded the second blow. The advantage of the blow dart was that the sound it made was especially soft and could easily be hidden on the body. However, the shortcomings were obvious. They had to reload their ammunition after each launch. On the other side, the short man in black suddenly loosened his grip on the dagger. The dagger fell immediately. His left hand quickly caught the dagger and stabbed towards Mitchell again. Though they were quick to react, Mitchell was quicker. He immediately reached out with his other hand and grabbed the other party¡¯s left wrist. At the same time, he tilted his head and dodged the dart again Mitchell was able to react so quickly because he had fused with the orc genes. [Tenfold Battle Intent]! This talent allowed Mitchell to gain combat instincts that far exceeded ordinary people. It was even more powerful than purebred orcs! With the support of Battle Intent, Mitchell could almost always instinctively come up with the best countermeasures in battle. From the looks of it, it seemed to be extremely disadvantageous for Mitchell. Because even though he had controlled one of the assassins, his hands were also restricted and he could not move freely. While there were two people on the other side. The other could have taken advantage of the moment when Mitchell had his hands bound to launch a series of attacks. Even if he could dodge, he couldn¡¯t possibly dodge every time, right? Just as the tall man in black revealed a confident smile, Mitchell roared, ¡°Little Mitch, get up and help!¡± Chapter 32 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At the sound of Mitchell¡¯s cry, Little Mitch woke up. It rubbed its eyes with its tiny dragon claws sleepily. It looked no different from a human baby. But at that moment, Mitchell had no time to appreciate Little Mitch¡¯s cuteness. ¡°Little Mitch, wake up! There are enemies!¡± Hearing the word ¡°enemy¡±, Little Mitch immediately jolted awake. Then, Little Mitch¡¯s big eyes saw a blow dart covered in purple liquid flying toward her. Without any hesitation, Little Mitch immediately howled. In the next second, a silver protective shield appeared around the bed, enveloping Little Mitch, Mitchell, and the short assassin. The dart shot by the tall man hit the protective shield and landed on the ground. Instantly, the situation was completely reversed. Mitchell, who had clearly been at a disadvantage, now had the upper hand. The tall assassin was completely isolated outside the protective shield. His attacks had no effect on the protective shield. As for the short assassin, his hands were restrained by Mitchell, and he was similarly unable to attack. In other words, only Little Mitch (the dragon) could move freely within the protective shield. It could do whatever it wants! Looking at the terrified expression on the short assassin¡¯s face, Little Mitch hugged its stomach and laughed loudly. ¡°Stop laughing and get to work,¡± Mitchell urged, frowning. Although Little Mitch was powerful, it was too young. It was still immature. It actually had the mood to play around in such a tense situation. Hearing its father¡¯s urging, Little Mitch immediately jumped up and put on a serious look. It widened his eyes as it looked at the assassins one by one and slowly opened its mouth. The two assassins revealed expressions of despair upon seeing this scene. And Mitchell looked stunned. ¡°Wait a sec, don¡¯t tell me you want to¡­¡± ¡°Howl¡± With a tender dragon¡¯s roar, a mini fire dragon immediately appeared from Little Mitch¡¯s tiny mouth and pounced straight at the short assassin! Fire Dragon Spell! ¡°F*ck, can¡¯t you differentiate the occasion!¡± After Little Mitch cast the Fire Dragon Spell, the protective shield immediately became as hot as a sauna. It was almost suffocating. In order to prevent the short assassin from moving, Mitchell could not let go of his hands at all. He could only let the Fire Dragon Spell roast his hands together too. Fortunately, Mitchell had orc blood and had thick skin. He would be fine even if he was roasted by the mini fire dragon spell. However, the short assassin was different. At this moment, he was completely charred. The bed, which was also covered by the protective shield, was charred as well. Gradually, the flames dissipated and the protective shield was removed by Little Mitch. Mitchell and Little Mitch immediately turned to look at the tall assassin. As if sensing danger, the tall assassin shuddered and immediately made a decision. Run! If he did not flee now, he would be killed immediately! However, just as he was about to leap out of the room, a silver protective shield immediately appeared around him. His entire body was thrown onto the protective shield, his face bruised and swollen. It had to be said that this protective shield was quite useful. It could even be used as a cage. Mitchell stroked Little Mitch¡¯s head in satisfaction as he looked at the assassin charging at the protective shield in despair. He praised, ¡°Well done.¡± Little Mitch, on the other hand, enjoyed Mitchell¡¯s compliment and immediately danced with joy. Of course, it did not forget to treat Mitchell¡¯s hands. After all, the Fire Dragon Spell had burned Mitchell together just now. After the treatment was over, the Leon Clan¡¯s patrolling night guards arrived at the scene. When the two assassins broke in, someone heard the commotion and immediately gathered all the guards. By the time they arrived, Mitchell and Little Mitch had already taken care of everything. It wasn¡¯t because they were slow. In fact, only two to three minutes had passed since the door was kicked in. But Little Mitch and Mitchell solved the problem too quickly. When he saw the assassin, the guard captain immediately looked nervously at Mitchell and said loudly, ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, I failed my duty!¡± As the captain of the guards of the Leon Family Mansion, he actually let an assassin sneak in to assassinate the nephew of the Leon Family¡¯s head! Furthermore, Mitchell had to subdue two assassins himself. If Mikhos knew about this, let alone his job as captain of the guards, he might even lose his life. In just a day, the news had spread throughout the entire Leon Family. The new young man was the nephew of Family Head Mikhos. Moreover, Mikhos attached great importance to his nephew. Thus, the group of people who relied on the Leon Family for their living, had all mentally prepared themselves to take good care of Mitchell. Who knew that he would make such a huge mistake tonight? When he thought about the consequences that he was going to face, the guard captain¡¯s face turned pale. *** Seeing the nervous look on the captain¡¯s face, Mitchell waved his hand, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t tell Uncle about this. Work harder in the future.¡± Hearing Mitchell¡¯s words, the guard captain was slightly stunned. Then, he immediately bowed respectfully and said, ¡°Thank you for your magnanimity, Young Master!¡± Young Master? Mitchell was slightly taken aback by this form of address, but he didn¡¯t say anything. After all, he couldn¡¯t come up with a better form of address either. They couldn¡¯t possibly call him the ¡°nephew of the family head¡±, right? Mitchell shook his head helplessly and waved his hand, indicating that they could go back. The guard captain looked at the tall guard and waved his hand, ¡°Brothers, bring this assassin back. I want to greet him in the cruelest way possible.¡± The guard captain felt like gobbling up this assassin now. This fellow had nearly caused him to lose his life. Without further questions, Mitchell told Little Mitch to disperse the protective shield and let the guards escort the assassin back. Mitchell sighed as he looked at the charred bed. He had Little Mitch make another protective shield around the bed. And the human and dragon lay on the protective shield. They barely slept for the night. The next morning, Mikhos immediately brought his men to the side room to check on Mitchell¡¯s injuries. He was relieved to see that Mitchell was all right. Mitchell woke up completely from this ordeal too. He immediately asked the guard captain who came with Mikhos, ¡°Have you interrogated the assassin that you caught yesterday?¡± The guard captain was stunned. The assassin that I caught ? Then, he realized that Young Master Mitchell was helping him cover up his mistake. Instantly, the guard captain began to look at Mitchell with more gratitude in his gaze. ¡°Young Master, we¡¯ve got the information. They were sent by the Kerr Family!¡± Hearing the Kerr Family, Mitchell and Mihos¡¯ eyes turned cold. The Kerr Family, you are courting death! Chapter 33 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Since he knew who the mastermind was, Mikhos wasn¡¯t going to hesitate. He immediately brought the experts of the Leon Clan to the Kerr Clan¡¯s residence. He was going to flatten the Kerr Family today! Even the royal family wouldn¡¯t be able to protect the Kerr family if they came! As the person involved in this matter, Mitchell naturally followed along. They had already sent assassins to take his life. If he did not retaliate, it would not be Mitchell¡¯s style. To him, either they all got along fine, or he would trample the other party to death! Very soon, the group arrived at the residence of the Kerr Clan. Lionel was relaxing in a lounge chair in the courtyard and enjoying the morning sun then. From what he knew, that hateful Mitchell should be a corpse by now. In his opinion, it was almost impossible for any accidents to happen. After all, he had spent a huge sum of money to hire a pair of assassin brothers who had never failed before. In the underworld, these two brothers were very famous. Whenever he thought that the kid who had ruined his plan, had been killed, Lionel Kerr felt extremely comfortable. Just as he was happily closing his eyes and stretching, Kerr¡¯s mansion¡¯s door was kicked open. Lionel Kerr, who had not been prepared for the shock, fell off the recliner. When he saw that it was Mikhos Leon, his face turned pale. Mikhos Leon actually dared to barge in in broad daylight? Mikhos had no evidence at all! But Lionel was still too young to think things through properly. ¡°Attack! Kill everyone from Kerr!¡± Without further ado, Mikhos waved his hand and gave the order. Upon hearing the order, the experts behind him walked straight towards Lionel. Their entire bodies were filled with killing intent. Looking at the experts from the Leon Family who were approaching him, Lionel was so scared that his face turned pale. He kept retreating and shouting, ¡°Mikhos, are you crazy? I¡¯ve already given you the Fire Lizard. What else do you want?!¡± At that moment, Lionel was still trying to pretend that he had no idea about the assassination of Mitchell. But Mikhos gave him no explanation at all. His attitude was clear. He wanted the Kerr Family to disappear from Storm City. The Kerr Family was also a major noble family in Storm City after all. Although they could not compare to the Leon Family, there were still some experts in the mansion. Right then, a few experts appeared when they heard the cry of the family head. The two sides instantly got into a fight. Looking at the chaos around him, how could Lionel sit still? He immediately looked at Mikhos and shouted, ¡°Mikhos Leon, do you know what you¡¯re doing! The royal family of Storm City will not let you off if you break into my house and commit murder like this!¡± Upon hearing this, Mikhos, who originally did not intend to speak, was instantly enraged. ¡°Murder? You still have the cheek to talk about the murder!? You sent two assassins to assassinate my nephew last night. Do you think I don¡¯t know?!¡± Upon hearing that, the corner of Lionel¡¯s mouth twitched slightly as he said coldly, ¡°Lord Leon, there are some words you shouldn¡¯t speak without proof! I, too, feel sad that your nephew is dead, but this doesn¡¯t mean¡­¡± Before Lionel could finish, a cold voice spoke from behind Mikhos, ¡°Who told you that I¡¯m already dead?¡± Then, a young man in silver armor stepped out from behind Mikhos. There was no expression on his cold and handsome face. His eyes were deep and unfathomable. They didn¡¯t look like they belonged to someone of his age. Lionel was stunned to see Mitchell appear. ¡°Y-you, why are you¡­¡± ¡°Why isn¡¯t he dead, right?¡± Mitchell snickered and walked slowly towards Lionel. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry but the killer you sent is really too weak. Oh right, you don¡¯t have to pay for one of them because I¡¯ve already killed him. As for the other, you should pay him double. Because he no longer has hands to hold a blowpipe again for the rest of his life.¡± Upon hearing Mitchell¡¯s words, Lionel¡¯s expression darkened. Obviously, the fact that he had hired someone to kill him should have been completely exposed. Although he could still try to deny it, Mikhos and Mitchell were definitely not people who talked about evidence. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have barged in during the day. The surrounding battle continued on. At this moment, the Kerr Clan had clearly fallen into a disadvantageous position. Being defeated by the Leon Family was only a matter of time. Looking at Mitchell who was approaching him step by step, Lionel said in a panic, ¡°D-do you know what you are doing now? If you dare to kill us, the royal family will definitely not let you off!¡± His voice grew louder and louder, but his retreating footsteps gradually trembled. And Mitchell was steadily closing in on him. Neither his expression nor his body wavered. At Lionel¡¯s words, Mitchell sneered as he put his right hand behind his shoulder. With a clang, the Silver Dragon Spear was pulled straight out by Mitchell, and it pierced towards a Kerr family member who was fighting beside him with a piercing sound. The sharp tip of the gun pierced into the man¡¯s temple, as if it had pierced into tofu. Staring at the trembling Lionel, Mitchell retracted his spear, bringing out red blood and white brain matter. He said calmly, ¡°So what if I kill him?¡± Lionel finally understood after he heard Mitchell¡¯s words. These bunch of lunatics were not afraid of the royal family at all! Or rather, they didn¡¯t care what price they would have to pay! They only wanted him dead! Faced with the threat of death, Lionel did not choose to sit back and do nothing. He immediately used all his strength to shout into the sky, ¡°Someone come quickly! The Leon Family has killed someone!¡± ¡°Where are the city guards?¡± ¡°Damn it, come and save me!¡± Perhaps God had heard Lionel¡¯s shout, a squad of city guards soon rushed over. ¡°Stop. What are you doing!¡± The city guard captain shouted in astonishment when he saw a battle taking place in Kerr¡¯s residence. Meanwhile, Mikhos slowly turned around and said gravely to the city guard captain, ¡°It¡¯s best if you don¡¯t interfere with the Leon Clan¡¯s affairs.¡± In that instant, the squad leader was actually stunned by Mikhos¡¯ imposing manner. He only reacted after a moment, ¡°Lord Leon. you should know that armed melee battles are not allowed in Storm City! Especially in the Inner City.¡± The meaning of the squad leader¡¯s words was very clear. Most of the people living in the inner city were nobles. Killing people in the inner city would cause a lot of trouble. However, just as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a spear piercing into a body. In the chaotic environment, that sound seemed to have a magical power. Immediately, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Mitchell instinctively. Mitchell gently pulled out the Silver Dragon Spear from Lionel¡¯s body and said calmly, ¡°So what if I kill him?¡± Chapter 34 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Seeing the scene before him, the squad leader was completely stunned. He had never imagined that this young man would actually dare to kill someone in front of him. Moreover, he had killed the head of the Kerr Clan! Mikhos smiled with satisfaction as he watched his nephew kill decisively. He didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong with Mitchell doing this. Since he had already done it, there was no need to be afraid! Before the squad leader could react, Mikhos waved his hand and said, ¡°Kill everyone from the Kerr Clan!¡± Upon hearing the Family Head¡¯s orders, the experts immediately stopped holding back. To the experts of the Leon Family, the Kerr family was simply trash. It would be effortless to kill them. Now that Mitchell had personally killed Lionel Kerr, they had nothing to worry about. In any case, if something were to happen, the Leon Family¡¯s Head would be responsible. Thus, the unprecedented massacre in Storm City began. A massacre by a family against another family! Soon, screams and wails came from Kerr¡¯s residence. However, the guards outside did not dare to take a step forward! The people from the Leon Clan had already dared to kill in front of them, so there was nothing they wouldn¡¯t dare to do. If they tried to stop them, they might be killed as well. To put it bluntly, they were simply the people who maintained law and order. In terms of combat power, they simply could not compare to the experts hired by these noble families. *** Soon, the commotion here alerted many inner city families. Many people saw this strange scene in front of Kerr¡¯s mansion. Mikhos simply stood quietly in front of Kerr¡¯s mansion. The two experts who were standing beside him, were confronting a group of city guards. Meanwhile, the Kerr Family¡¯s residence was filled with wailing and the scent of blood. No one could believe what they were seeing. But apparently it did happen. ¡°Has the Leon Family gone mad? They actually dare to openly kill people in the inner city?¡± ¡°The royal family will not allow this to happen. All the nobles will join forces to deal with the Leon Family!¡± ¡°Humph. The Leon Family will completely disappear from Storm City this time.¡± ¡°Seems like we have to thank that stupid head of the Kerr clan.¡± ¡°But have you heard? It seems like the former head of the Kerr Clan was killed by Lionel, so that¡¯s why¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a secret anymore. Almost every family in the Inner City knows about it.¡± ¡°However, what does this have to do with us?¡± The discussions continued. Under normal circumstances, they might have had to discuss it quietly. But now, they were all saying it out aloud. Since both the Kerr and Leon Families were about to disappear, what else did they need to hide? At this time, the most important thing was to quickly unite with the other clans. There would probably be many more open and hidden struggles in Storm City once the Leon Family fell. *** After some time, the screams in the Kerr Family Mansion gradually stopped. A group of people covered in blood and with murderous expressions walked out of the mansion. Mitchell, on the other hand, casually walked through the crowd and looked coldly at the city guards. He said calmly, ¡°I killed them. What do you want to do with me?¡± Looking at the young man who was standing in the midst of corpses and blood with a calm expression, the squad leader couldn¡¯t help but shiver. In the eyes of this young man, the lives of these Kerr Family members were no different from the lives of pigs and dogs. Killing them was like killing a bunch of ants. Forget about hurting them. The lives of these people could not even change the expression of this young man. Everything seemed so natural. Subconsciously, the squad leader included this young man in his list of names in his mind. It was a list of people that should never be provoked in Storm City. *** After a while, the conflict finally completely died down. Only then did royal guards arrive. The person in the lead was none other than the current Commander of the Imperial Guards¡ªSteyr. Steyr flicked a glance at the tragic scene in the Kerr Family mansion before looking away. He cupped his hands at Mikhos, ¡°Lord Leon, the City Lord of Storm City requests your presence.¡± Looking at the respectful Steyr, Mikhos answered softly, ¡°Thank you, Commander.¡± Mikhos knew very well. These Imperial Guards had come late on purpose. It was to do Mikhos a favor. Inviting him over was the royal family¡¯s order. Steyr dared not disobey. But arriving a little later and giving Mikhos enough time to finish his business, would be an excellent favor to give. Who knew if the Leon Family would really fall? If the Leon Family didn¡¯t fall, then he would¡¯ve provoked a massive monster if he had directly come here. But there was nothing wrong with being a little late. Because he didn¡¯t have to worry about a clan that had been annihilated taking revenge on him. It was never wrong to leave a way out for himself. Hearing Mikhos thank him, Steyr knew he had made the right decision. He smiled and said, ¡°Lord Leon is too polite. This way, please.¡± After he finished speaking, the Imperial Guards behind him parted and made way for Mikhos. Mikhos turned around and looked at the experts who served the Leon family. He slowly said, ¡°You guys send Mitchell back first. I¡¯ll be fine.¡± The experts looked at each other quietly. Although they were all top experts in Storm City, they still did not dare to go against the royal family. However, destroying the Kerr Family for the Leon Family was no big deal to them. The worst outcome would be Mikhos being executed and the Leon Family annihilated. But for them, they could serve other clans once again. Which family wouldn¡¯t want to take in a group of experts who dared to exterminate a noble clan with a single order? One of the experts stepped forward and said, ¡°Please rest assured, my lord. We will protect the Young Master¡­¡¯ Mitchell¡¯s voice cut him off before he could finish. ¡°There¡¯s no need to. I¡¯ll go with you.¡± The expert was stunned to hear that. At first, he thought that his mission would be complete after he finished speaking and sent Mitchell back to the mansion. And then what he had to do next was wait quietly for news from Mikhos. If Mikhos was all right, they could continue to serve the Leons. If something happened to Mikhos, everyone would go on their way. It was clear and simple. Why did this Mitchell volunteer to die with Mikhos? Mikhos frowned and said in a deep voice, ¡°Mitchell, don¡¯t mess around!¡± In his opinion, Mitchell simply hadn¡¯t figured out the seriousness of the matter yet. After all, he was still too young. However, Mitchell simply pulled out his spear and said calmly, ¡°Uncle, save your breath. I¡¯m going with you.¡± Then, he paused and swept his gaze at the all other nobles before he continued, ¡°I¡¯ll keep you alive.¡± Chapter 35 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Mikhos was about to retort. But he instinctively looked into Mitchell¡¯s eyes. It was a pair of eyes without any hesitation. In that instant, Mikhos understood. His nephew was not joking. He was serious! Thinking back to the scene when Mitchell was learning magic the day before, Mikhos hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded. He didn¡¯t want Mitchell to go because he was worried about his safety. But if Mitchell really had the strength to protect himself, then why did he have to die for nothing? ¡°Great! ¡°As expected of my nephew!¡± Mikhos smiled after he finally understood. Only now did he truly understand, his nephew was not a fledgling that needed his protection. He was a tiger that could truly become the backbone of the Leon Clan! Steyr glanced at the two of them silently. The royal family¡¯s order was to bring Leons¡¯ family head, Mikhos, over. However, they did not explicitly say that they could only bring him alone. Since that was the case, if he wanted to follow them, then he shall let him. If he could avoid offending others, he would not offend others. ¡°In that case, this way please.¡± Mikhos walked alongside Mitchell. As they watched as Lord Leon and his nephew left, those experts of the Leon family didn¡¯t know what to do at that moment. On the other hand, the surrounding nobles were getting restless as they wanted to extend an olive branch to these experts. However, none of them dared to make it clear. And no expert dared to accept their hint. Discussing at the side was one thing. Directly poaching their people was another matter. As long as the Leon Family didn¡¯t fall, it was a giant that no one could provoke. *** The palace of the royal family was in the center of the inner city. So, it wasn¡¯t far from the Kerr Family¡¯s residence to the palace. Mihos looked up when they reached the palace. The Storm City¡¯s royal palace was different from the Blood Roar City¡¯s City Lord¡¯s Castle. The City Lord¡¯s Castle of the Blood Roar City was decorated with the skulls of various races, looking full of killing intent. Meanwhile, the royal palace of Storm City was filled with a magnificent aura. It had white jade tiles, golden walls. The red pillars were decorated with dragons and phoenixes made of real gold. All the details displayed one word. Wealth. Seeing Mitchell stop in his tracks, Steyr reminded again, ¡°Young Master Leon, Please.¡± Mitchell was slightly taken aback. This Imperial Guard commander seemed to have misunderstood that his surname was Leon. However, there was nothing for him to explain. If others were to know that his surname was Blood Roar, it would probably cause quite a commotion. Mitchell nodded slightly and exchanged glances with Mikhos. At this moment, Mikhos was full of vigor as he just exterminated the Kerr Family. He felt as if the entire world was at his feet. Mitchell smiled when he saw that Mikhos wasn¡¯t worried at all. The two of them walked up the steps side by side. As he moved up on the jade steps, Mitchell gradually saw what was inside the palace. There was a very exaggerated golden ¡°dragon chair¡± at the very end. The person sitting on it was naturally the City Lord of Storm City, who also represented the royal family. It was as though the city lord was sitting in the arms of a golden dragon. After walking a few steps up, his field of vision became wider. On both sides of the palace stood two rows of people. One row of them were wearing battle armor while the other row were in robes. They were all looking at Mikhos coldly now. At the same time, they were also sizing up Mitchell. Obviously, many of them didn¡¯t know Mitchell. Facing these gazes, Mitchell remained calm and collected as he walked forward step by step. *** Finally, Mikhos and Mitchell came before the city lord. The city lord, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked down at the two of them and said loudly, ¡°Lord Leon, do you know what you are doing?¡± Although the city lord did not show any obvious expression, he seemed to have his own dignified aura. But Mikhos didn¡¯t waver. He looked up straight at the city lord, ¡°I do.¡± ¡°And you still dare to do it? Perhaps, that¡¯s because you don¡¯t respect us, the royal family?¡± Mihos was someone who was trained in battle techniques, so his personality was rather strong. At this moment, he had just avenged himself so he was in a slightly excited state. He instinctively wanted to retort when he heard that. However, Mitchell was relatively calmer so he said first, ¡°There¡¯s actually a reason for this.¡± The city lord turned his attention to Mitchell after he spoke up. This young man standing beside Mikhos had a calm expression and outstanding temperament. His handsome face didn¡¯t make people feel that he was weak. Instead, he looked more heroic with his looks. Dressed in silver armor and carrying a silver spear on his back, his temperament was indeed extraordinary. Upon seeing this, the city lord felt that something was amiss, but he did not know what it was. In the end, he suppressed his doubts and said in a deep voice, ¡°Oh? What is it? Pray tell, what¡¯s your reason? If you can¡¯t convince me¡­¡± The city lord might not have finished his last sentence, but Mitchell knew it well. If the reason Mitchell gave was not convincing enough, the royal family would definitely not let this go. *** Faced with the royal family¡¯s questions and the countless pairs of eyes behind him, Mitchell pondered for a moment before answering in an unquestionable tone, ¡°Because the Kerr Family wants to commit treason. After I discovered them, we made a prompt decision to eliminate the Kerr Clan!¡± The city lord was taken aback. Mikhos was equally taken aback. Treason? What is going on? However, although Mikhos was stunned for a moment, he quickly composed himself. Right now, no matter what Mitchell said, he had to put on an expression that showed, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s it.¡± After a brief moment of shock, the city lord frowned and said, ¡°Young man, do you know where this is?¡± ¡°I do. The royal palace of Storm City,¡± Mitchell replied with a calm voice. ¡°Since you know it, why are you still spouting nonsense?¡± Mitchell met the city lord¡¯s gaze and said calmly, ¡°Last night, I discovered two assassins were discovered when they were passing by the Leon Family¡¯s residence. I could see that they seemed to be heading towards the palace, so I was sure that they wanted to assassinate the city lord. I killed one of them on the spot and subdued the other. After that, we spent the entire night asking if they were sent by the Kerr Family. Is that not considered as treason?¡± There was an unmistakable confidence in Mitchell¡¯s words, and the entire hall fell silent. Chapter 36 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations If not for the fact that he already knew what had happened, Mikhos would have believed Mitchell¡¯s words on the spot. All of this sounded almost flawless. Apart from the lack of evidence. ¡°Oh?¡± The city lord looked at Mitchell and asked slowly, ¡°Where¡¯s the assassin that you got the information on?¡± ¡°Dead.¡± Mitchell had already figured out how to respond to that. ¡°What¡¯s the point of keeping an assassin sent by a rebellious clan alive?¡± Mitchell spoke boldly and confidently. This time, the city lord narrowed his eyes in silence. Even a fool would know that he was lying. Who would personally destroy evidence of someone committing treason? However, the city lord couldn¡¯t punish them. Imagine this. If someone really rebelled in the future, and it was heard by another noble, but he had no concrete evidence. Should they take action or not? If they did, the city lord asked them for evidence. If there was no evidence, the city lord would kill them immediately. Then, who would dare to interfere again? If they didn¡¯t care, the royal family would be in trouble. Even if the palace was heavily guarded, who could guarantee that nothing would ever go wrong? Right now, all the questions were thrown back to the city lord by Mitchell¡¯s words. Now, the city lord was able to make any decision. If he chose to believe, then the Leon Family would be innocent. If he chose not to believe it, then the Leon Family would immediately die. As such, he had to consider the Leon Family¡¯s ability to resist. The disadvantages outweigh the benefits. Thinking of this, the city lord took a deep breath. This Leon Family was, in fact, testing his limits. He wanted to compromise, but he couldn¡¯t. Because he was the city lord. If he were to announce that he believed Mitchell¡¯s words, it would be equivalent to announcing to the entire Storm City: The Leon Clan had annihilated the entire Kerr Clan in the inner city area without any evidence, and in the end, nothing happened to them. They swaggered back home. How was he going to command any respect in the future then? At that moment, the city lord needed a way out to protect his pride. And then, the city lord who was sitting on the dragon throne and sizing up Mitchell, suddenly saw something. Immediately, he thought of a perfect excuse. *** ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± The city lord looked at Mitchell and spoke slowly. Mitchell cupped his hands and said calmly, ¡°Mitchell.¡± The city lord nodded slightly as he shifted his gaze. ¡°Is that a silver dragon behind you?¡± Hearing that, Mitchell looked back. Little Mitch was leaning on Mitchell¡¯s shoulder and looking around curiously. Mitchell nodded gently, ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s the Silver Dragon Clan¡¯s youngling.¡± At that moment, Mitchell had no idea what the city lord wanted to do either. If the city lord wanted to take Little Mitch away from him, Mitchell would never agree to it. If the Leon Family wanted it back, they could have it back. Because it belonged to them. However, the city lord could not take it away from him! Even the royal family of Storm City couldn¡¯t do that to him! Mitchell was already mentally prepared to fight to the death now. However, the city lord suddenly changed the topic and said, ¡°It¡¯s reasonable to say that I can¡¯t let you off so easily since you¡¯ve annihilated the entire Kerr Clan without any evidence.¡± Hearing that, Mikhos relaxed a little. Generally speaking, there usually would be a ¡®but¡¯ behind these words. ¡°But, if you do something for me, I will agree to waive the punishment of the Leon Family.¡± Mikhos immediately cupped his hands and said, ¡°Thank you, City Lord. I will do it immediately!¡± The city lord shook his head gently, ¡°It¡¯s not you.¡± He pointed a finger at Mitchell, ¡°Yes, you!¡± *** Mikhos was slightly taken aback and then he hurriedly said, ¡°My lord, he¡¯s still a child. What can he do for you? Please let me do it instead.¡± From Mikhos¡¯ point of view, the city lord¡¯s request must be definitely extremely difficult. Mitchell might be in danger if he let him do it. However, the city lord did not buy it. ¡°Mikhos, my tolerance has its limits.¡± Mikhos winced at that. The city lord¡¯s meaning was clear. The city lord would not be so nice if they continued to push their luck. By then, Storm City would definitely act according to the rules. They would gather the strength of the entire city to deal with the Leon Family. Even if the Leon Family was wealthy and influential, they would at most cause serious damage to the royal family of Storm City. The Leon Family still wasn¡¯t qualified to topple the royal family. Thinking of that, Mikhos turned to look at Mitchell. Mitchell had no objections. If he had to perform a task, so be it. After all, it was boring to keep staying at the Leons¡¯ mansion. ¡°May I know what the city lord wants me to do?¡± The city lord smiled and gently caressed the armrest of the dragon chair. He nodded in satisfaction and said, ¡°That¡¯s the right attitude. What I want you to do is very simple. You simply need to go to a place to retrieve something for me. However, don¡¯t think of getting someone else to retrieve it. You must go and get this item yourself.¡± At this point, the city lord paused slightly and looked at Little Mitch, ¡°That¡¯s because only Silver Dragons are able to enter that place.¡± A silver dragon was needed? Mitchell was startled at that, and then he turned to look at Little Mitch over his shoulder. Meanwhile, Little Mitch looked puzzled too. It didn¡¯t seem to understand what they meant. ¡°I¡¯ll get Steyr to tell you what happens next. You two can go back now.¡± *** Since the city lord let them go, they naturally had no reason to stay. Mitchell and Mikhos immediately left the palace. After the two of them appeared in the inner city, the expressions of all the nobles became very sullen. One reason was because they had already thought of how to divide up the Leon Family¡¯s influence. But now, their hopes were dashed. The other reason was because the Leon Family¡¯s power had already made them feel fear. They could actually leave unscathed after annihilating another family in the inner city? In that case, wouldn¡¯t all the families in the inner city have to be wary of them? At that moment, it could be said that all the families in Storm City were in danger. However, Mitchell and Mikhos didn¡¯t care what the other families thought now. What they were most concerned about now was where the city lord wanted Mitchell to go and what he was going to retrieve. Silver dragons were needed before they could enter that place. Hence, it was definitely not a simple place. And the thing he needed to retrieve was definitely not something simple. Soon, the two arrived back at the Leon Family¡¯s residence. Surprisingly, Steyr was already there. ¡°I have been waiting for a long time for you, gentlemen.¡± Chapter 37 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Mitchell didn¡¯t feel surprised when he saw Steyr. Since he was able to become the commander of the Imperial Guards, he naturally had some ability. So, it was not surprising that he would appear here. Seeing Mitchell¡¯s calm expression, Steyr nodded slightly as if he was rather impressed by him. He then took out a parchment scroll. After Mitchell took the scroll, Steyr said softly, ¡°Now, the scroll will give you a hint. As long as you follow the instructions on the scroll, there won¡¯t be any problems. Remember, just retrieve the item obediently and don¡¯t ever think about escaping.¡± Upon hearing the last sentence, Mitchell¡¯s expression immediately turned cold. He looked at Steyr and said coldly, ¡°Are you threatening me?¡± Steyr smiled, ¡°It¡¯s just a friendly reminder.¡± With that, he left. A murderous look flashed across Mitchell¡¯s face as he watched Steyr leave. Mikhos, on the other hand, could tell what Mitchell was thinking. He reached out and patted his nephew on the shoulder. ¡°He¡¯s just following orders.¡± Hearing his uncle¡¯s words, Mitchell didn¡¯t say anything more and nodded slightly. He then shifted his gaze to the parchment scroll in his hand. This parchment scroll looked rather old. The parchment was slightly yellow. The scroll was tied with a thin red string. Unlike the scroll, the red string was new. Obviously, this scroll should have been just read by someone before. At the same time, he could also deduce that the city lord was not lying. That place indeed required a silver dragon to enter. Without further thought, Mitchell immediately ripped away the red string and opened the scroll. And the next moment, the scroll actually shot out a strong beam of light directly at Mitchell. Everything happened so suddenly that even Mitchell, who had the [Tenfold Murderous Intent] gene, could not react in time. In the next second, he was sucked in by the intense light emitted by the scroll. Mikhos was shocked to see the scroll fall to the ground and quickly picked it up. However, no matter how he flipped through the scroll, the parchment scroll remained completely blank and he couldn¡¯t see anything on it. *** After some time, Mitchell slowly opened his eyes. Mitchell found himself on the ground when he woke up. And there was a protective shield emitting a faint silver glow around him. Through the protective shield, Mitchell could clearly see the thick purple fog outside. If he had guessed correctly, the mist would be poisonous. Rubbing his throbbing temples, Mitchell rose slowly. Little Mitch yapped excitedly and danced around when it saw Mitchell had woken up. Mitchell looked at Little Mitch and instantly understood. ¡°Did you set up this protective shield?¡± Little Mitch nodded immediately and raised its proud little head as if to say, ¡°Quick, praise me.¡± Mitchell understood and rubbed Little Mitch¡¯s head. He smiled and praised it, ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to your help. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid I wouldn¡¯t have survived.¡± At this moment, Mitchell slowly stood up and looked at the environment outside the protective shield. His expression gradually turned cold. That damn City Lord of Storm City actually didn¡¯t pre-empt him that this was going to happen. If not for Little Mitch, he would have died here. Mitchell paused with that thought. He suddenly understood what the city lord meant. No wonder silver dragons were needed to enter this place. If an ordinary person were to enter, they would probably be immediately surrounded by this purple poisonous fog and die on the spot. Even a mage who knew how to cast a protective shield could not maintain it forever. Sooner or later, the mage would die from exhaustion. Only the legendary magic dragon¡ªSilver Dragon, could maintain the protective shield continuously. Even if it was tired, it could recover its strength by absorbing the magical elements in the air. Instinctively, Mitchell turned to Little Mitch. This innocent little fellow was truly powerful. At the same time, Mitchell made up his mind. He had to find a dragon to fuse with! But that was for the future. Right now, the most important thing was to get that thing and find a way out. Mitchell asked Little Mitch softly, ¡°Little Mitch, can you make the protective shield move along with us?¡± Little Mitch nodded obediently and shouted, ¡°Papa!¡± Mitchell didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. This child only knew how to say papa and mama and nothing else. However, it was fine as long as he could understand what it meant. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go.¡± *** In a cold and damp cave, a man in black knelt on one knee and whispered, ¡°My Lord, my subordinate is back.¡± The man on the jade seat raised his eyelids slightly and looked down at him as he asked, ¡°Have you found any news about the silver dragon?¡± ¡°Yes, we did,¡± the man in black answered immediately. ¡°I¡¯ve just received news that the Leon Clan had wiped out the Kerr Clan this morning.¡± ¡°This matter had alerted the royal family of the Storm City. Then, the master of the Silver Dragon and Lord Leon went to Storm City¡¯s royal palace.¡± Hearing that, the man frowned and said unhappily, ¡°The silver dragon was left in the palace?¡± If the silver dragon really stayed in the palace, then the chances of successfully snatching it would be much lower. This was what he did not want to see. The man in black immediately shook his head and said, ¡°Although they went to the palace, I didn¡¯t know what method they used, they came out unscathed. But according to reliable intel, the owner of the silver dragon seems to have been sucked into a scroll at the entrance of the Leon Family¡¯s mansion. The Silver Dragon has also entered with him.¡± Right then, the man in the throne suddenly stood up and said in surprise, ¡°Are you sure?¡± ¡°Absolutely!¡± After receiving the affirmative answer, the man slowly sat down again. He lightly tapped on the armrest of his seat. Then, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud. ¡°Harlaus, oh Harlaus, you sly old fox. You actually made him go and retrieve that thing for you. However, you would¡¯ve never expected that the portal to the Poisonous Mystic Realm¡­ I have it too!¡± At that thought, the man laughed maniacally. Then, he slowly took out a scroll from his bosom. If Mikhos were here, he would be shocked. This was because this scroll was exactly the same as the one the City Lord of Storm City had given him! Without any hesitation, the man untied the red string. Immediately, a bright light shot out and sucked him into the scroll. The man in black was left behind, feeling rather lost. Chapter 38 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In the purple fog, an inverted-bowl-like protective shield was slowly moving forward. Upon a closer look, one could see that the surrounding purple fog was segregated beyond the protective shield. It couldn¡¯t enter the shield. Inside the protective shield were Mitchell and Little Mitch. They were slowly walking forward. The purple dense was simply too dense, making it impossible to see the path ahead. He could only rely on the weak light emitted by the protective shield to barely illuminate their path ahead. But that was nothing. What irritated Mitchell the most was that there was nothing in this place but the ground and the purple fog. It could be said to be empty! In such a place, one could only walk around aimlessly. Mitchell couldn¡¯t help but think. If he could not find a way out, even if he was not poisoned to death by the purple fog, he would probably starve to death here. Right at that moment, Little Mitch suddenly stopped in its tracks and looked extremely nervous. When Mitchell saw its expression, he naturally understood what was going on. He also stood where he was and kept a tight watch. Clearly, Little Mitch had discovered some kind of danger. Animals were usually more sensitive to danger than humans. Therefore, Mitchell had no doubts about that and immediately drew out the Silver Dragon Spear on his back. The man and dragon stood on guard. The purple fog around them added a sense of oppression to the environment. At the next moment, a low roar came from within the purple fog. This time, it wasn¡¯t just Little Mitch. Mitchell heard it loud and clear too. Although he couldn¡¯t see it clearly, Mitchell could already imagine it. There was definitely a man-eating beast hiding in the purple fog. Instinctively, Mitchell tightened his grip on the Silver Dragon Spear. He kept his eyes on his surroundings, on guard against any possible attacks. *** He didn¡¯t hear the growl for a long time. But Mitchell didn¡¯t dare to relax at all. The purple fog seemed to be filled with unknowns. And the unknown often represented danger. In the face of unknown dangers, only by being vigilant could one survive. Sure enough, an air-piercing sound suddenly came from the purple fog that had remained silent for a long time. A huge claw arrived at the same time as the sound and slapped the protective shield. Although the protective shield was not broken, Little Mitch, who was maintaining it, trembled slightly. It seemed like it was injured. Almost at the same time that the sharp claws struck the protective shield, Mitchell reacted. With the help of the [Ten Times] genes, Mitchell¡¯s combat instincts were extraordinarily fast. Even though his brain hadn¡¯t realized it, his hands had reacted. He stabbed the spear towards the gigantic claw. Mitchell¡¯s hands didn¡¯t stop moving, but he was filled with questions. Mitchell had clearly seen the shield¡¯s capability when he dealt with the assassins last night. The protective shield could not be broken from both the outside and the inside. The fact that Little Mitch¡¯s Fire Dragon Spell did not leak out of it proved that. However, his first reaction now was to stab the sharp claws with his spear. But, would this succeed? Furthermore, if the protective shield was broken, wouldn¡¯t it hurt Little Mitch and allow the purple mist to leak in? Questions appeared in his mind one after another, but Mitchell¡¯s subconscious actions were too fast for him to control. Just as the Silver Dragon Spear was about to pierce the protective shield, a miraculous thing appeared. The Silver Dragon Spear seemed to have pierced into water. It created ripples on the protective shield. It stabbed the sharp claws without any resistance! A stream of blood immediately spurted out and splattered onto the rippling protective shield. But, not a single drop of blood seeped through it. Upon seeing that, Mitchell instantly understood. Silver Dragon Spear! This spear was forged from the body of a silver dragon. Therefore, it could naturally move in and out of the magic shield casted by the silver dragon! The owner of the huge claw let out a furious howl after it was injured. Another sharp claw whistled through the air as it hurtled toward the barrier again. However, just like before, the protective shield did not move at all. Meanwhile, Mitchell¡¯s Silver Dragon Spear was unimpeded. Clearly, the situation was in Mitchell¡¯s favor. But Mitchell¡¯s face was grim. That was because Little Mitch trembled when the sharp claws struck the protective shield again. Mitchell knew exactly what was going on when he saw Little Mitch¡¯s pained expression. Little Mitch would be hit every time the huge claws attacked the protective shield. If this continued, Little Mitch might not be able to last much longer! Instantly, Mitchell responded. He decided to stop defending passively and take the initiative to attack! After picking Little Mitch up and placing it on his shoulder, Mitchell rushed forward. The two attacks from the left and right paws earlier had already exposed the beast¡¯s general location. Thus, even though the purple poisonous fog had isolated them, Mitchell was still able to accurately determine the location of the beast. Soon, a third ear-piercing sound appeared. This time, Mitchell, who was on guard, dodged to the side. He barely avoided the attack. He had just dodged one attack when another one followed. When Mitchell landed on the ground, he immediately kicked hard. And he shot out like lightning once again. *** The attacks continued. Although Mitchell had only barely dodged the sharp claws each time, he had yet to be hit by them again. On the contrary, Mitchell was constantly approaching the beast hiding in the purple fog as he dodged its attack. Finally, they were close enough. The outline of a wild beast appeared in the purple fog. Mitchell, however, looked even more grim. Previously, the sharp claws would retreat after each strike. Although Mitchell had stabbed him a few times, he still couldn¡¯t see what it actually looked like. He only knew that these claws seemed to be very large. Mitchell only had a concrete idea after he saw the outline of the beast. Mitchell¡¯s 1.9 meter tall body wasn¡¯t even as tall as the other party¡¯s leg. However, despite that the other party was huge, Mitchell naturally had his own advantages too. That was dexterity! The opponent was tall, so it would be easy for him to hit it. Furthermore, it would be very difficult for his opponent to hit him! After analyzing the advantages and disadvantages, the fight became much easier. Although the sharp claws kept striking at Mitchell, he managed to dodge them every time. Instead, the huge beast kept getting attacked by Mitchell little by little. Every time the spear thrust out, it would cause a smear of blood. He did not know how long this lasted, but the number of wounds on the beast increased. Mitchell, on the other hand, was still at ease! The wild beast seemed to realize that it would die if this continued. It finally changed its action pattern and suddenly roared. Meanwhile, Mitchell¡¯s eyes narrowed. He knew that his opponent was about to reveal his trump card! Chapter 39 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The loud roar nearly burst Mitchell¡¯s eardrums. However, he still gripped the spear tightly in his hand. He knew very well that if he were to let go of his spear because he found it unbearable and covered his ears with his hands, then he wouldn¡¯t be far from death. This beast would definitely seize that moment to attack him! If he couldn¡¯t avoid that attack, he would then die on the spot. Even if he could avoid the attack, the beast would not give him the chance to pick up the weapon again! The roar lasted for about five seconds. And now the beast was no longer attacking Mitchell blindly. It was slowly approaching him. In that instant, Mitchell stood rooted to the spot and stared intently at it. Two thoughts appeared in his mind. Should he approach or retreat? If he wanted to maintain the tempo of the earlier battle, then it was clearly better for Mitchell to retreat. However, the other party had already discovered Mitchell¡¯s advantage. He probably wouldn¡¯t blindly attack again. Mitchell, on the other hand, would not approach blindly and attack either! The moment that Mitchell took the initiative to attack was, in fact, the most difficult moment to dodge. If the other party suddenly attacked him at that moment, he might be hit again. Although hitting the protective shield would not directly injure it, Little Mitch might not be able to hold on for too long. Hence, Mitchell didn¡¯t want to take that risk. Just like that, Mitchell stayed where he was. He kept his guard up and let the beast get closer. Gradually, the silhouette in the fog became clearer. Mitchell finally got a good look at it. It had a huge body and long fur. Sharp teeth and thick skin. It was actually a giant black wolf! Mitchell¡¯s expression turned grim when he saw the huge black wolf. Clearly, he was no longer on that continent anymore. There had never been a black wolf with such a huge body on the continent! The black wolf approached Mitchell slowly. Its eyes were glowing green in the thick purple fog. Saliva dripped from its sharp teeth. It was even emitting a foul stench. Mitchell believed that the saliva probably was poisonous as well. Any wild beast that could survive in such an environment was probably poisonous! The wolf and the man stared at each other. The black wolf let out a low growl. It grumbled in its throat, as if it was warning Mitchell. Mitchell, on the other hand, did not back down at all as he stared at its every move. He knew very well if he were to retreat upon encountering a creature here, he might never be able to leave this place! The battle was almost inevitable. Seeing that Mitchell had no intention of backing down, the black wolf finally couldn¡¯t hold back anymore and launched another attack. This time was different. As the black wolf brandished its sharp claws, it would also try to attack by biting every now and then. Mitchell, who initially only needed to dodge the sharp claws, had to pay attention to his position at all times to gauge if he could be bitten. His stress suddenly increased! Even though there were many wounds on its body, the black wolf¡¯s attack speed was not affected at all. It was still extremely fast. If Mitchell¡¯s body was the same size as the black wolf, he would have been hit several times already. Finally, after a claw missed him, Mitchell took the opportunity to burrow under the black wolf¡¯s stomach. Over here, he definitely wouldn¡¯t be hit by the bite attack! Furthermore, he could attack the black wolf¡¯s abdomen without any fear! At this moment, Mitchell had a victorious smile on his face. Success! But in the next second, a piercing sound appeared again. Mitchell was shocked, and the [Ten Times Battle Intent] was put into action again. Just as the attack was about to hit him, he barely managed to dodge it. Mitchell let out a shaky breath and looked over. It turned out that it was the black wolf¡¯s huge tail that had attacked him! If not for the [Ten Times Battle Intent] gene, Mitchell would have been hit by this attack. The blow missed, but the black wolf wasn¡¯t discouraged in the least. He immediately changed direction and looked at Mitchell. It was ready to launch the next round of attacks. Now, Mitchell¡¯s expression became even grimmer. The wolf¡¯s tail guarded the places where the wolf¡¯s head could not reach. This way, he had almost no chance to attack his opponent. At this rate, he would die of exhaustion sooner or later. Just as he was thinking of a countermeasure, the black wolf pounced over again and launched a new round of continuous attacks. Mitchell, on the other hand, could only dodge, defend, and had no chance to attack at all. Little Mitch was watching the battle with her eyes fixed on the wolf on Mitchell¡¯s shoulders. It was feeling especially anxious. But there was nothing it could do to help Mitchell. If it was a little bigger, it could use its claws and teeth to attack directly. But it was still young and could only use magic. However, all the magic spells were blocked by its own protective shield. But, if the protective shield was removed, the poisonous fog would seep in again. There was simply no way to help! Little Mitch tried to think of something, but there was nothing it could do. It was so anxious that it started screaming. Mitchell heard Little Mitch¡¯s anxious cry and found an opportunity to distance himself from the black wolf. He comforted it, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Just watch us. I¡¯ll find a way to settle it.¡± Mitchell narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, ¡°If only this damned poisonous fog isn¡¯t here¡­¡± Only this damned poisonous fog isn¡¯t here? Mitchell was slightly stunned. He immediately turned to Little Mitch and said excitedly, ¡°Little Mitch, do you know about wind magic?¡± Little Mitch tilted its head and looked at Mitchell. It didn¡¯t know what Mitchell wanted, but it nodded obediently. Mitchell finally smiled after receiving an affirmative answer. This time, victory was within their grasp. ¡°Little Mitch, remove the protective shield!¡± ¡°Ow?!¡± Little Mitch paused and looked at Mitchell in surprise. Canceling the protective shield, wasn¡¯t this courting death? Without the protective shield, the poisonous fog would soon surround them! But Mitchell repeated firmly, ¡°Quick, remove the protective shield!¡± At Mitchell¡¯s insistence, Little Mitch had no choice but to remove the protective shield. However, its body was secretly preparing the magical elements, ready to release a new protective shield at any time. As soon as the protective shield was removed, the poisonous fog began to slowly approach the surroundings. Just as he was about to be surrounded by the purple fog again, Mitchell roared again, ¡°Now, use the wind magic to blow away the poisonous fog!¡± ¡°Howl¡± Little Mitch finally understood Mitchell¡¯s plan now. Without any hesitation, he immediately released a low-level wind magic spell¡ªBlowing Wind. A strong wind appeared around Mitchell and Little Mitch, blowing outwards in all directions. Instantly, the surrounding poisonous fog was all swept away! Mitchell sneered at the black wolf in front of him who had yet to realize what had happened. He raised his palm and aimed it at the wolf¡¯s head. ¡°Take this! Fire Dragon Spell!¡± Chapter 40 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations A huge flaming dragon head emerged from Mitchell¡¯s palm. Following which, the flaming dragon head flew straight toward the black wolf. The flames behind it followed closely like a gigantic fire dragon. The Fire Dragon Spell was extremely fast. It arrived in front of Black Wolf almost instantly. Before the black wolf could react, it was hit by the Fire Dragon Spell. The black wolf howled in pain. The wolf kept moving its claws wildly, but his body could not move forward at all. The dragon body was still surging forward. The black wolf¡¯s entire body was engulfed by the Fire Dragon Spell. The black wolf¡¯s fur crackled as though it had been roasted. Meanwhile, the black wolf¡¯s body was already emitting the aroma of roasted meat. The Fire Dragon Spell completely dissipated after a long time. Meanwhile, the black wolf¡¯s body was also paralyzed as it collapsed to the ground. Mitchell leaped with his spear and landed on the black wolf¡¯s head. [Ding. Detected that Host has subdued the giant wolf. Do you want to merge?] Mitchell was taken aback by this notification. Such a powerful Fire Dragon Spell had hit the black wolf completely, and the black wolf was only ¡°subdued¡± and not ¡°killed¡±? However, even though he was surprised, Mitchell did not intend to let go of this opportunity. ¡°Yes!¡± After he gave the answer, the system immediately began to integrate. The huge black wolf corpse under his feet gradually turned into points of light, continuously pouring into Mitchell¡¯s glabella. It took a full ten minutes for all the dots to merge into Mitchell¡¯s body. [Ding! Congratulations to Host for successfully fusing with the black wolf. Genes obtained¡ª10 Times The Original Size.] Mitchell was delighted to see the message. This giant wolf had such a huge body because it had huge genes. As for why it had such genes, then nobody knew. Mitchell guessed as he watched the purple fog slowly approaching back towards him. Perhaps, it was because it had been affected by the poisonous fog for a long time that its body had undergone some kind of mutation. However, Mitchell did not dare touch the purple fog. After all, he only had one life. He could not use it as an experiment. *** Without the black wolf¡¯s obstruction, Mitchell could see the road ahead. The reason why the black wolf was unwilling to leave was because there was a huge cave behind it. And there seemed to be something in this cave that black wolf could not bear to give up. Soon, the poisonous fog returned and covered the cave again. But Mitchell wasn¡¯t going to use the protective shield again. The visibility was too low, so it was not very convenient. ¡°Little Mitch, blow away the poisonous fog with the wind magic just like before. ¡°Is that alright?¡± ¡°Ow ~¡± Little Mitch leaped off Mitchell¡¯s shoulder and smiled confidently. With Little Mitch¡¯s assurance, Mitchell felt relieved and boldly walked toward the cave. Behind him, a man in black revealed himself from afar. He looked at the cave that Mitchell had entered with a faint glint in his eyes. He silently removed the protective shield around his body and muttered to himself, ¡°I never expected that I could use such a method to disperse the poisonous fog. The young master of the Leons¡­ How interesting.¡± A moment later, the man in black flicked glance at the place where the giant wolf disappeared. Then, he followed Mitchell into the cave which he had entered earlier. *** Mitchell and Little Mitch walked through the tunnels of the cave one after another. Miraculously, the poisonous fog outside did not appear in the cave. But even though there was no poisonous fog, Mitchell looked serious. He knew that in the face of unknown dangers, he had to be vigilant at all times. Those who could kill you were usually not the big lions or tigers, but the poisonous snakes hidden in the bushes. *** This tunnel seemed to have no end. Mitchell still didn¡¯t see the end after walking for a long time. He couldn¡¯t help but wonder if he had gone in the wrong direction. ¡°Perhaps, there¡¯s nothing in this cave?¡± Mitchell stopped and stared ahead with a frown. A strange feeling rose from the bottom of his heart. However, he could not pinpoint exactly what was wrong. On the other hand, Little Mitch was walking leisurely behind Mitchell. Mitchell smiled helplessly when he saw Little Mitch. Why was this child so relaxed and calm even in such a strange place? It was as if it was somewhere it knew. ¡°!¡± Something flashed through Mitchell¡¯s mind! If Mitchell remembered correctly, Little Mitch had appeared very nervous when he had first entered the cave. It was grabbing his shoulders tightly and refused to get down. When did Little Mitch, for whatever reason, suddenly become relaxed? Instinctively, Mitchell couldn¡¯t help looking at Little Mitch. Little Mitch, on the other hand, seemed completely oblivious to Mitchell¡¯s gaze. Instead, it looked around, as if it was searching for something on the wall. A moment later, Little Mitch¡¯s wandering eyes locked onto a spot, and it immediately started dancing with joy. Mitchell followed Little Mitch¡¯s gaze. There was nothing special about the wall, apart from an obvious bulge. Mitchell tried to pry it open. Unfortunately, it wasn¡¯t some hidden door mechanism. Now Mitchell¡¯s frown deepened. He felt like he had fallen into a strange loop. He couldn¡¯t find the exit at all. ¡°Wait. Strange loop?¡± A thought occurred to Mitchell, and he stared intently at the bulge in the wall. Obviously, apart from the fact that this place looked different from the other walls, there was almost no difference. However, Little Mitch became very happy when it found the bump. Furthermore, there was a crucial point here. Little Mitch was ¡°looking¡± for this bump deliberately instead of discovering the bulge. Which meant¡­ ¡°Little Mitch, have you seen this before?¡± Mitchell seemed to have found an opening. He asked as he pointed to the lump on the wall. Little Mitch nodded happily at Mitchell¡¯s question and danced with joy. It seemed that this was not the first time Little Mitch had seen this bump. It had to be at least three times! In other words, it was very likely that he had been circling around here all along! ¡°Little Mitch, do you know how to eliminate illusions?¡± ¡°Ow~¡± Little Mitch nodded immediately and let out a tender dragon¡¯s roar. Then, the surrounding scenery suddenly began to distort. When everything calmed down, Mitchell suddenly realized that the tunnel he was walking in was not a straight line, but a circular path! In other words, he had been walking in circles! Moreover, there was a staircase winding up the inner ring of the ring-shaped tunnel right there. But because of the illusion, he hadn¡¯t been able to see it. Then, Mitchell narrowed his eyes as he finally understood. No wonder the city lord said that silver dragons were needed to come to this place. Because, there were all kinds of problems that needed to be solved with magic here!
