Chapter 239: Slaying the Skeleton Dragon

Before the advancement, the skeleton dragon was an existence Arthur had no chance of winning against, and trying to go in a one versus one fight was just dumb.

Now? The dragon had no chance against him, who had his attributes increased by a lot after the advancement. Normal Official Mages did not have a power similar to that of Arthur.

He was someone who had three essences now, as well as two different bloodlines. What could a dead dragon do to him? Arthur was the lord of dragons himself!

The dragon came flying toward them, attacking using its claws, who were as sharp as a sword crafted by a master blacksmith.

“Watch out!” Laura said.

She was beside Arthur, so the attack was going toward her as well, which caused her entire body to tremble in fear.

Arthur was not concerned with such a weak attack. He placed the palm of his hand in front of him, colliding with the claws of the immense dragon.

Kane and Philip, the two who were with Laura, thought it was their end. After the dragon killed Arthur and Laura, the two of them would be the next target.

But the unthinkable happened. When the powerful claw attack hit Arthur’s palm, nothing happened. He did not move an inch despite the immense force coming from the enemy’s attack.

Even Laura, who already knew Arthur was an Official Mage, did not believe what her eyes were seeing. If she was not mistaken, the dragon also had the power of a rank one Official Mage. There was no way the difference between the two of them was that huge, with the two having the same level of power.

Arthur was shocking her repeatedly. Now, the promise of getting him inside her academy was not a bad idea at all. Laura was sure he would turn into a pleasant addition to the academy’s power.

“Is this all you got, little dragon? Let me show you how a claw attack really is.” Arthur said.

One of his hands was holding the attack from the dragon, and then the other hand moved. His nails turned into long sharp claws, which slashed the dragon’s paw, cutting it in half.

A large bone disconnected from the rest of the dragon’s arm, making it useless for the rest of the fight. The skeleton dragon did not show any pain, as it did not feel any in the first place, but its attack power was diminished, giving an advantage to Arthur, who did not stop after that attack, sending another one, but this time, a spell.

Arthur’s belly inflated, increasing its size. Then, he opened up his mouth, sending a fire breath directly toward the dragon.

The bones of the dragon almost melted when in touch with the flames, but that was not the end. That fire breath not only warmed the dragon, but all the buildings around the area, turning them into ashes in an instant.

Laura, Kane and Philip, who were on the other side of the attack, also felt its power. They sweat because of the tremendous heat.

“What?” Kane said.

He did not know Arthur had the power of an Official Mage, as it was something impossible in his mind, but after seeing what happened, he was sure Arthur was not someone simple.

Kane remembered the times he wanted to pick up a fight against Arthur, thankful that he did not do it in the end. If that happened, then he would be a dead man at that point.

The skeleton dragon was badly hurt after the attack. Its bones were like charcoal, and it could barely move. It was not an actual dragon anymore, or else Arthur would have trouble in facing it.

“Just a shell of a once mythological creature. Rest in peace.”

Arthur respected all the enemies he faced, and a dragon even more. It was a pity he had to face a dragon, but now at least the dragon was truly dead, finally resting in peace. He wanted to think that way to make him feel better.

He took out the sword Merethyl gave him, slashing down, sending the last attack that killed the dragon for good.

When it was finally over, Kane and Philip could not believe what had happened. Laura was even more shocked, as she had seen some Official Mages from her academy fight, as well as the rector.

The power Arthur displayed was extraordinary, and she believed only a few rank one mages could match it.

Who was he? That was something she kept asking herself after seeing time and time again more incredible things coming from that youth, who looked younger than her, yet had a power beyond her imagination.

All of them were shocked, but one of them had a plan in mind. Kane was the first one to move, rushing toward the chalice, which now did not have any protective barriers around it after the dragon was killed.

It was the best shot he had, yet it was all in vain. Arthur waved his hand, creating lots of vines who emerged from the ground, locking Kane in place.

“Did you truly believe you would get it? I should kill you now.” Arthur said as he flew toward Kane with his hands behind his back.

“You can’t kill. The rector of my academy is also my father, and he will hunt you!” Kane said.

Although Arthur said that, he would never kill those three. Just by looking at them, one could know they had important positions in their academies. Also, there was nothing for him to gain by ending the life of such a weak person.

“You will get away this time, but don’t test my patience.”

Arthur let Kane locked in place with the vines and flew forward toward the chalice. Laura and Philip were watching everything, and did not move. They weren’t as stupid as Kane to challenge an Official Mage.

With his path clear, Arthur went toward the inheritance, stopping in front of the silver chalice.

“Just drink it. When the power of the inheritance enters inside your body, I will block it until you are strong enough to access it.” Ikarus said.

“How can I be certain you will keep your promise?”

“I already helped you kill that dragon and even gave you new powers. I want to leave this place, want to help my brother, and also if you die, then I will die too. Is that enough?”

“It is.”

Arthur was already convinced Ikarus would not betray him, but he wanted to make sure before drinking that blood. He then did what Ikarus told him, drinking the blood from the chalice.

It was something disgusting, but it had to be done. He gulped it, and nothing happened. There was no pain, no eminent death, nothing.

“Kiddo, I already sealed the inheritance, but I will have to sleep for some time to recover. You probably have the power to freely walk around this realm as it is yours, so get everything you found useful. See ya!” Ikarus said.
