Chapter 316 Small but Deadly

"So, Doom Knight Kis'Shtiengbrah, what are your plans?" Du'Rhaza asked Dave.

"Well, same as the usual. I need to get stronger. I have a feeling that the Eastern Kingdom will not like the fact that I didn't hand them Urburg over."

"Very well, you must go then. But I advise you to meet with lord Dagla. I can see that you unlocked [Overdrive] he can teach you powerful magic that might help you in your fight against the kingdom of Qin."

"I will do, but first I need to wear my new armor. It spent a long time inside my inventory." Dave said in a smile.

He then took out the Doom Knight armor. He had bought it a long time ago and was waiting to rank up before he could use it.

Dave inspected the items.

'Hmm, the stats and abilities are almost the same as the Death Knight armor. Only the attributes are ten times the value of a single Death Knight armor. Man the HP this set offers is amazing.'

Dave began equipping the doom knight armor.

Unlike the dark blue-hued Death Knight armor, the Doom Knight armor had a toxic green aura surrounding it. The armor was light but extremely sturdy. It was polished with great care, it didn't look like the rusty armors of the lower tier undead, but like the armor, a nobleman would wear, only if this nobleman belonged to an evil faction that is.

The Doom Knight armor had metallic skulls carved into it. When Dave wore his armor, the eyes on these skulls shone bright, and a notification appeared in front of Dave.

***

Dave inspected the passive skill given by the full set.

[Will Breaker] You armor releases a wave of Horror Effect every 30 seconds. Targets affected by Will Breaker have a 10% chance of being instantly disarmed.

Neat, Dave nodded to himself. Another notification soon appeared in front of him.

Dave inspected it.

***

Your base Strength has exceeded 1000. You now have

[Herculean Strength].

Speak with Dortha the Beast to know more about the usage of such inhuman power.

***

"That makes an instructor for magic, and an instructor of Strength. Heck I guess if I increase my agility to 1,000, I think Abyssal Knight Dementi will start teaching me Agility related skills."

Dave inspected his status screen. He wanted to see how much his stats have improved by changing his armor.

"I'm looking more like a raid boss now than a regular player. Dang, the HP is so good," Dave complimented himself.

"What now, Kis'Shtiengbrah?" Du'Rhaza asked.

"I'll head to Dagla first, then meet up with Dortha. When I finish my business here, I'll head to Urburg. Thank you for everything Du'Rhaza." Dave said.

"With pleasure, young Doom Knight," Du'Rhaza said and disappeared into a storm of ice.

Dave walked off the arena and headed to the Bone Palace. When he arrived, Dave asked the two Death Knights at the gate for Dagla. One of the knights respectfully spoke, "Commander Kis'Shtiengbrah, lord Dagla had mentioned that you might wish to see him soon. He is at his mage tower.

The Death Knight pointed at a faraway tower in the Undead City.

"Thanks," Dave replied and headed there.

Dave moved along the streets of the city. Any Undead that passed greeted him. They seemed to have greater respect for his current rank.

Dave's audio party-chat rung in his ears. It was Lone arrow Calling.

"Davey, what's taking you so long? Did you lose the ascension fight?" Lone asked.

"Nah, I won actually. I'm just finishing some stuff in the Undead Realm and will be in Urburg soon. Just wait for me." Dave said.

"Alright, you should probably come soon, more and more NPCs are coming to Urburg. They want to meet with its ruler, they said."

"I'll be there as soon as possible," Dave replied and hung up.

Dave found himself standing in front of Dagla's mage tower. It was a gigantic spiral tower that almost reached the same height as the Bone Palace. The door to the tower was wide open, but there were no guards or anyone at the entrance.

Dave stopped at the gate of the tower; the inside of the building was dark. He could only see a long spiral staircase that led up

"Hello? Anyone here?"

Hearing no reply, Dave moved inside.

But the moment he stepped foot inside the tower, a magical purple circle shone brightly under his foot, and Dave disappeared from his spot.

His vision swam for a moment then returned to normal. This was the sign of teleportation.

Dave found himself standing in a large room lit by hundreds of candles These candles were placed on top of human skulls. There were mummified creatures strung to the walls of the room. Containers holding dissected and rotting animals were positioned all over the room.

In one corner of the room, Arch-Lich Dagla was hunched over a desk flipping the pages of an old grimoire.

"Kis'Shtiengbrah, it's good to see you again, come closer," Dagla beckoned Dave over while his eyes were fixated on the book.

Dave came closer and waited by Dagla's side. He took a peek at the book Dagla was reading from. Dave saw numerous glyphs and incomprehensible words written in blood color. He didn't understand the meaning of such words.

"Ah, found it," Dagla said as he was pointing at a strange glyph. "This is what you need for now," Dagla pointed at Dave's chest then the symbol on the book materialized onto Dave's Doom Knight armor in red color. Soon after, the symbol disappeared, and a notification appeared in front of Dave.

***

Your Battle Lich ability

[Blot the Sun] has been upgraded.

Blot the Sun now lasts for 20 seconds.

If a target dies under Blot the Sun, the duration of the skill will increase by 5 seconds.

Dead Targets have a 5% chance of instantly resurrecting as undead belonging to the legion.

(Resurrected undead from Blot the Sun will not be added to the caster's ranks.)

***

"Oh, that's it?" Dave said. He thought that he would learn something new.

"You should be patient; this is but the first of the upgrade to your arsenal. When you are stronger, I will call you to have better upgrades. Now, for the more important matters," Dagla waved his hand, and a black spherical object materialized on top of his hand.

"It's going to hatch any moment now. Take it!" Dagla handed the Black Dragon Egg to Dave.

The moment Dave took the egg, it began to shudder and cracks spread from on top of it.

"Oh! Already?" Dave said.

"Good, the hatching of a dragon is something magical. It is a blessing to the parent. You need to brand the dragon the moment it lies its eyes on you."

"How do you brand a dragon?" Dave asked while the egg was shaking and shuddering more and more.

"Name it the moment it sees you. I can't remain with you while the dragon hatches, I will come back after you have given it a name." Dagla said and disappeared from the room.

Just as Dagla disappeared, the egg broke, and a small lizard-like creature popped its head from the top of the egg. The hatchling had smooth scales, but they were as dark as night. It had two small horns and large eyes.

The small dragon gazed at Dave for a few seconds, tilting its head the dragon was confused.

A notification appeared in front of Dave.

***

You must name the Dragon Hatchling before it realizes that you are not its birth parent, you have 10 seconds to decide on a name!

***

"Oh, that short. What should I name you?" Dave muttered.

He couldn't find a proper name as the seconds ticked.

"Alright, hell with it, I'll just name you Onixya!"

***

Black Dragon Hatchling Onixya is now permanently bound to you!

Congratulations you have gained a [Legendary] battle Pet.

Your dragon pet needs to become stronger if you wish to use it for battle. From now on, the dragon Onixya will gain 200% of the EXP you win through battle.
