Chapter 487, The Power of the Blade Armour Dragon King

Translator: Silavin

 

The Devouring Dragon King seemed to know what Lu Fan was wondering about, as her voice sounded off again. “Are you wondering why that woman would give you an Invitation to the God’s Tomb Secret Realm?”

 

“How did you know?” Lu Fan was somewhat startled.

 

The Devouring Dragon King gave a contemptuous smile, as though she had rolled her eyes, as she said. “I’ve been awake for some time now, and I witnessed everything that had happened. As for why that woman gave you an Invitation, I can explain. It’s really simple – she wants to kill you but doesn’t have the confidence to. For her, the God’s Tomb Secret Realm would be the best place to kill you.”

 

“What do you mean by that?” Lu Fan became even more confused after hearing this.

 

She patiently explained. “It’s related to the rules of the God’s Tomb Secret Realm. The Rewards of the Secret Realm attract what you Humans would call Transformation Type Professions.”

 

“Firstly, Players with Transformation Type Professions gain stronger Attribute Enhancement after transforming. If these people soak in the Divine Tempering Liquid in their transformed state, it maximises the effectiveness of the Divine Tempering Liquid.”

 

Lu Fan nodded, feeling that she must be right.

 

If he were to obtain any Divine Tempering Liquid, he would definitely soak in it while in his Golden Dragon King Form to gain more Attribute Enhancement.

 

The Devouring Dragon King continued. “You Humans could say this Secret Realm is tailor-made for Players who have Transformation Type Professions.”

 

“At the same time, the Secret Realm’s rules are quite interesting. Once you enter this Secret Realm, everyone can only rely on their own strength to find the Divine Tempering Liquid. You cannot summon any Summons or Pets, nor can you use any weapons. Of course, you can still equip Equipment. Your Transformation Skill relies on those few Mythical Grade Armour you’re wearing, right? Congratulations, even in the God’s Tomb Secret Realm, you can still transform into your Golden Dragon King Form.”

 

After hearing the Devouring Dragon King’s explanation, Lu Fan immediately understood.

 

[So that is why! Ning Shuan’er, you are indeed cunning!]

 

A Dragon Tamer’s strength lies in being able to summon his Pet Dragons. If his Pet Dragons could not be summoned in the God’s Tomb Secret Realm, then a Dragon Tamer’s power would be diminished by half.

 

If Lu Fan were a Dragon Hunter, this rule would have less impact on his strength. However, Lu Fan’s Second Profession was Silver Dragon Rider, and the Silver Dragon Rider’s Profession Characteristics required cooperation with his Pet Dragons to be effective.

 

Without being able to summon Pet Dragons, many of Lu Fan’s Skills would be restricted. Most of his Second Profession Skills would not be able to be utilised, since he could not Ride his Dragons. He was mostly limited to his First Profession Skill. This meant that he would be essentially fighting with his hands and feet bound.

 

Even if Lu Fan could transform into his Golden Dragon King Form, trying to face a Level 100-plus Player from a Second Tier Ancient Noble Family with only his Golden Dragon King Form’s Endurance Attribute and one Attack Skill, Golden Dragon King’s Judgment Wings, would be a joke.

 

Even against an enemy of Ning Tu’s calibre, Lu Fan would just end up as a punching bag.

 

Not to mention, one of Ning Shuan’er’s Clones already had power far exceeding Ning Tu.

 

If he encountered Ning Shuan’er in the God’s Tomb Secret Realm, would he not be strung up and pummelled to death?

 

Lu Fan’s expression immediately fell.

 

Thankfully, he had the worldly and experienced ‘ancient dragon’ with him. Otherwise, he would have fallen right into Ning Shuan’er’s trap!

 

Only a fool would agree to go to such a place to compete with others.

 

However, Lu Fan suddenly thought of something and asked the Devouring Dragon King. “By the way, you want me to go to the God’s Tomb Secret Realm to find the Divine Tempering Liquid. Is it because you can be summoned there to help me fight?”

 

The Devouring Dragon King coldly laughed and said. “Of course not. I’m now considered one of your Pet Dragons. Though, if I were to recover my full strength, I could ignore the Secret Realm’s rules and forcibly come out. But two months isn’t enough time for me to completely recover from my injuries. So, I too would be restricted by the rules there and you’ll have to obtain the Divine Tempering Liquid on your own.”

 

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan’s expression darkened and he complained. “If you can’t help me, why do you want me to go in there? You saw it yourself, that crazy woman wants to kill me. She brought the God’s Tomb Secret Realm Invitation for that purpose – to set a trap for me.”

 

“If I don’t go, I could still put up a fight against her in the outside world with my Pet Dragons. But if I go, in the Secret Realm, she’ll hunt me to the ends of the Earth, won’t she? By asking me to go to the God’s Tomb Secret Realm, are you trying to get me killed?”

 

The Devouring Dragon King snorted and said. “How could I possibly want you dead? I observed her earlier. Her Level is high, and her strength is impressive, but you’re not necessarily outmatched. Remember when I said I’d help you find the Blade Armour Dragon King’s Egg? If you can get that Egg and make a Blade Armour Dragon King your Pet Dragon, you’ll be able to dominate the God’s Tomb Secret Realm.”

 

“Oh!?” Lu Fan’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this. “A Blade Armour Dragon King is that strong?”

 

The Devouring Dragon King said with some irritation. “Although I’m reluctant to admit it, the Blade Armour Dragon King is indeed very strong… Well, not exactly very strong. Rather, it just complements your Profession Characteristics extremely well. It’s the Pet Dragon with the highest compatibility with you and your Profession Characteristics. Taming one will enhance your strength more than any other Pet Dragon.”

 

*Siii…* Lu Fan drew in a sharp breath. [Wait. A Blade Armour Dragon King can provide such a massive boost to a Silver Dragon Rider!? If I Tame one, and it allows me to crush even Player of Ning Shuan’er’s calibre in the God’s Tomb Secret Realm, allowing me to dominate the Secret Realm, then it is definitely worth investing a significant amount of time and energy to get that Egg.]

 

However, upon thinking about this, Lu Fan suddenly remembered that Pets could not be summoned in the God’s Tomb Secret Realm. So, even if he had a Blade Armour Dragon King, he would not be able to summon it within the Secret Realm. [Damn it. What would be the point of getting one if I can’t summon it?]

 

After raising his concerns, the Devouring Dragon King seemed to lose some patience, saying that the Blade Armour Dragon King’s Racial Trait was very special and could not be fully considered a Pet Dragon.

 

In short, its Attributes and characteristics was something Lu Fan would come to understand once he Tames one.

 

“Rather than asking me questions left and right, it would be better to focus on how you can quickly reach Level 60 and undergo your Third Profession Change. It is only once you reach this stage that I can lead you to find the Blade Armour Dragon King and steal the Egg. At that time, you will understand why I’ve said all of this.”

 

Lu Fan felt a bit embarrassed after being reprimanded by her.

 

But upon reflection, he realised that she had a point.

 

Regardless, the immediate priority should be to Level Up quickly. He should aim to complete his Third Profession Change before the God’s Tomb Secret Realm opens, and then steal the Blade Armour Dragon King Egg.

 

If everything went smoothly, he could bring the new Blade Armour Dragon King to the God’s Tomb Secret Realm, obtain Divine Tempering Liquid, and then have his strength increase by leaps and bounds!
