Chapter 264: 264
Draco checked the rest of the options he had on the list and saw that everything aside from the Paragon of Destruction class was there and had remained unchanged .
The only difference that made him want to spit blood was the fact that his 10 million platinum for the attempt hadn't been refunded!
The system had rolled back to a point before he even began the quest, so what was going on here? Should his money not have returned as well?
However, Draco, for once, found that he couldn't open his dog mouth to complain . His tongue was gripped by logic telling him that even paying 10 million platinum was too small a price compared to the harm the attempt had caused .
Which sane human being saw a success chance of 0 . 00001% and thought 'hey, I might just succeed!'? Only an arrogant bastard like Draco, who did not revere the heavens or the earth, would do this .
It might also be because he was so filthy rich that it already meant little to him . He and Eva still had around 45 million platinum despite all the expenditures after the last Divine Auction, so he could attempt every single class here sequentially until he struck gold .
Thinking like this, how could this braindead fellow hold back? With a shit-eating grin, he chose to attempt the Dragon King Class Up Procedures . There was only a 0 . 01% chance of success, and an attempt cost one million platinum .
Seeing as he was now left with 35 million platinum, what was a filthy one million to him? Even if he failed consecutively until he was broke, he could just toss a top-grade Aether Crystal into the Divine Auction and earn serious bank .
This was the true definition of having no respect for money!
Draco was whisked into a city that was the grandest he had ever seen in his entire life . It was an ancient city with many magitech devices as well as humongous towers arranged in a neat and linear fashion .
The streets were clean, thanks to the many workers of different races managing them at all times . Everyone was dressed well and Draco could sense almost no negative emotions from them, indicating that they were truly happy .
He was confused as to where he was until he expanded his Void of Perfection outwards . Then, he was able to see that the huge towers were actually… Dragon perches!
Many Dragons of different elemental breeds lay on each perch with their families, chatting, playing or copulating . In the sky, one could see many Dragons coming in and out of the city at all times .
There were even Lesser Dragons, though these always followed behind the true Dragons with humility and adoration in their eyes .
Draco was instantly reminded of one name when he took all of this in .
'The Ancestral City of Dragons' .
It was truly magnificent, like something out of a modern concept art for a bustling medieval city .
As he stood there, many eyes fell on him and they bowed . Draco guessed that they sensed his pure Draconic Source Origin and assumed him to have temporarily transformed into a humanoid form .
Nodding back to them, Draco focused on a pop-up notification that showed up at this moment .
「System to Player Announcement
Beginning Dragon King Class Up Procedure . Standby . 」
「Dragon King – Legendary Class Up Procedure
Description: As a pureblooded Black Dragon, you have been overwhelmingly nominated to become a Dragon King . Clear the objective to complete this procedure .
Rewards: Legendary Class - Dragon King」
「System to Player Announcement
The objective of the Dragon King Class Up Procedure has been set . Player Draco must defeat the three Dragon Lords to clear this task . 」
Draco began to sweat greatly when he saw the objective . It was no wonder the success chance was only 0 . 01% .
He was supposed to single-handedly defeat three Dragon Lords? Three pureblooded Dragons that were even a notch above normal Dragons?
Even his clone, the Dark Knight, had required him to work with Eva and all his guild members in order to barely claim victory . And that fellow was only a noob, someone who had just transformed because of circumstances .
What about these three Dragon Lords? They had probably been trained from birth, until they achieved their current position! Draco felt that his chances were indeed so slim that they might as well not exist .
However, he gritted his teeth . Since he had already paid the price, he would enjoy the services of the provider no matter what! As he was supposed to fight them, he would just fight!
Who knew, he might even luck out and win through a fluke . Or, he could learn something important from fighting actual pureblooded Dragons which would help him utilize his own bloodline!
Thinking like this, Draco followed the directions of the system towards the colosseum of the Ancestral City . It was a humongous building almost ten times the size of that one in the real world, and it had a large crowd in attendance already .
As soon as Draco entered, many cheered with excitement . How many times in one life did they get to see a Black Dragon fight? Even in the old era, the number of Black Dragons were less than 6 and never more than 5 .
The emergence of a new one gave the whole race unbridled hope for the future! Fortunately, the quest had started at a point where Draco wouldn't have to go through any of the other procedures to anoint him a Dragon King, except the one that could not be skipped, which was the Test of Might!
Draco climbed upon the stage and three huge Dragons that were slightly smaller than his Black Dragon's full body, yet much bigger than Hikari's true body, landed with a boom .
They each gazed at Draco with solemnity . To them, battling against a Black Dragon was an honor and a pleasure, as well as a test they would have to overcome for themselves!
They held nothing back and raised their power to the maximum for the fight that lay ahead .
However, Draco was feeling incredibly embarrassed at this time . All this fanfare from the crowd, the adoration and respect in their hearts, as well as the graveness in the expression of his opponents… could they tone it down a little?
If they knew he couldn't even transform into his full body state, how would they react? If they learned that he didn't know any Destruction Energy techniques or skills apart from the basic Orb of Destruction, which was basically the equivalent to a fireball, how would they feel?
However, Draco's skin was like titanium . He even took on a leisurely pose as if this fight would be a breeze for him . He was copying Caelo's earlier swagger shamelessly!
Seeing him exude the air of an expert, the crowd roared and his opponents blanched with fear . Truthfully, this surprised Draco . After all, he had only heard it from Hikari's mouth, but it really seemed as if Black Dragons enjoyed a transcendent status among Dragonkind .
Seeing as his opponents were too cowed to make the first move, how could Draco let this chance go? He immediately concentrated with the Eyes of Caelo and used Omega!
