Gacha Sovereign

483 Dragon Race

On the other hand, Alex and the Phoenix Queen never expected to be attacked by those people.

After a full two weeks flying across the ocean, they arrived at the Phoenix Continent again, flying toward the castle. At this time, an overbearing pressure appeared out of nowhere as three people stood in their way.

The Phoenix Queen recognized them and furrowed her eyebrows, moving in front of Alex to protect him. "Hoh… To think the Phoenix Queen could break the barrier that no Ruler can and breakthrough to 8-Star… I thought 7-Star is the barrier where we can't advance anymore…"

"..." She ignored his pleasantries and cut to the chase. "I still need an explanation for this…"

Alex frowned his eyebrows the moment he saw the two young people with his Spirit Eyes. The female was a 3-Star Martial Emperor while the male was a 10-Star Martial King. However, what made him frown was the fact that the younger one channeled the energy into his fist.

He took a glimpse of the old man and shouted. "Be careful!"

The moment his shout rang in their ears, the old man instantly appeared between him and Stina, looking at Stina while releasing his energy. "Well, there is only a passionate woman who wants to warn his rival not to come to seek death."

"!!!" Stina opened her eyes wide as she disappeared, moving toward Alex. Unfortunately, her path was blocked by the old man, not letting her protect Alex.

The young man appeared in front of him and threw a fist toward Alex, like the first time Alex met Lilian.

Alex could somehow realize how much strength in that fist and instinctively used his Spirit Step.

"First Spirit Step." The soul inside his body stomped the ground as hard as it could. Alex's body started attracting all the energy in his surroundings.

"!!!" The female noticed a sudden decrease in energy in their surroundings, just like having a dry and hot atmosphere from a cold and humid room. Taking a glance at Alex, she realized, "Energy is coming to his body?"

Even noticing that was useless as their fists had collided, making the ground shake for an instant.

It was a brief but powerful exchange as Alex was blown away.

"Bam!"

Crashing to the ground, Alex felt his hand numb because of that fist. His strength was around 80 dragon strength and the Spirit Step increased 40 dragon strength, totaling 120 dragon strength. Surprisingly, the 10-Star Martial King in front of him had almost twice his strength.

On the other hand, the female opened her mouth in surprise. "Little Brother, your hand…"

She was surprised by the wound in his hand. Although Qeigess certainly won that exchange, it seemed the human was not a pushover.

Qeigess raised his hand, observing the damage. There were several shallow cut wounds on his hand, turning his hand into blue by the bleeding. Within Alex's strike was a sharp and powerful intent, causing this wound on Qeigess's strong body.

"What do you think you are doing?!" Stina was enraged, enveloping her body with flame before turning into a giant phoenix. After having fused with Alex's flame, her fire became even more powerful… powerful enough to give a feeling of dread in the old man's heart.

"This is only a misunderstanding…" The old man wanted to stop her.

Sadly, before he could do that, Alex attacked the young man, pissed by this treatment. "Fire Phoenix Art, First Stage. Phoenix Summon."

The young man raised his hand, creating a ball of lightning. Swinging his hand downwards, he threw the lightning ball.

The lightning tried to pierce the phoenix while the latter tried to burn the lightning, making each attack disappear at the same time.

The young man furrowed his eyebrows, thinking he had held back in that exchange, but Alex was not grateful to him. Rage crept in his heart as lightning started covering his body as the scales on his body started glowing and turned him into a giant dragon.

It was a golden dragon with a wingspan of twenty meters. His height alone was close to the Phoenix Queen, which was 30 meters while his appearance was close to those of western dragons.

Flapping its wings, he tried to fly before making another attack, but the female suddenly appeared on top of him, kicking his head to the ground.

"Boom!"

The majestic dragon had his head buried inside the ground, making him look ridiculous.

"!!!" Stina also noticed this, turning his head toward the old man to hear the explanation.

Levi sighed, complaining about Qeigess's attitude. He was on the wrong but still raging after that attack, and this completely disappointed her. "You said it would only take one punch… so why the heck do you reveal your dragon form…"

After silencing him, she turned to Alex and bowed her head. "I apologize for my little brother for this stunt. He does not have a bad intention as he only wants to tell you his strength so you can fight him in equal footing.

"By the time you reach our continent and challenge the trial, you will fight him. What he wants is an equal fight, so if you challenge us blindly, you will only be defeated… And that is the reason why he did this.

"Of course, we do feel bad… That's why we have prepared this." She took out a book from her space ring before handing it to Alex. "This is Dragon Strengthening Technique and also our Royal Family's highest grade technique."

"!!!" While Alex was confused by this, Stina was surprised by the book as she clearly recognized the book. "That book…"

"That's right. This is only a misunderstanding, Phoenix Queen. I am planning to give that book to him, but because I heard my grandson plan, I choose to do it this way.

"Of course, doing this will make our reputation bad in others' eyes, so I am going to compensate for it." The old man threw a Space Ring toward her, leading her to change back to her human form.

"What do you mean by this?"

"I am sure that he will come to our continent next but by the time he does not know the opposite party strength… he will just come for nothing… After all, my grandson's strength is different from the reported." The old man explained.

"You… are lucky," Stina said before closing her eyes, remembering Alex's view about Wrath. If they somehow attacked his family member to draw him out just to test him, the Dragons might perish the moment he got the strength.

Little did she know that he already had the strength to pick a fight with the Dragon Race. With his current cultivation, he could level up his spirits to 6-Star Martial Emperors. At that time, the Spirits would let them experience what it meant by terrifying.

The old man ignored it as he glanced at the other side. It seemed that their situation was resolved by that Princess. Levi and Qeigess came back along with him a few minutes later. At the same time, Stina approached him, looking at him with a worried expression.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes." Alex nodded, storing the book inside him.

"What are you going to do now? Do you think challenging him is possible?" Stina asked.

"Hmm… I don't think I can for the time being. His strength alone was almost twice of myself." He shook his head.

Stina furrowed her eyebrows. "This might not be good because his strength would be doubled with his dragon form… and you need to handle his lightning too."

Alex thought for a while, coming up with a plan. He did not care about his Lightning, as he already had a plan on how to handle it. However, when he heard his strength would be doubled in his dragon form, this might certainly be dangerous for him. He never thought 10-Star Martial King would have around 400 Dragon Strength…

(AN: Dragon with Dragon Strength...)

[Host… you are not the only weird one in the world. I mean, the world is vast and you are not the only genius out there… If I compare it to the stories from your world, you can think of him as the Main Character in this world.]

"I know. I am not a Genius in the first place… considering I was just a commoner that was dragged to another world." He replied.

[Screw Talent… with enough resources and fateful encounters, you can be the best.]

"I can't acquire a Pure Fire though, only a Sacrificial Fire…"

[...]

This time, Alex was the one who silenced the system. Feeling good, he smiled before looking at Stina. "Anyway. I think I will train first before challenging him."

"What are you going to do after you beat him and get the crystal? You won't do…" Stina paused as she looked at Alex's smiling face.

"Don't worry. I am not that petty since they did not attack my family member… including you. However, I will certainly remember this grudge… When I come and challenge him would be the day to make him pay."

"If you do something excessive, I might be forced to stop you, Master," Stina said.

"I know. Anyway, we should go back first."

"Indeed. However, I need to remind you once more. I am your contracted beast now. Although I have broken my limit and became the only 8-Star in this world. I am still unable to protect you if all the races are trying to attack you at the same time." She sighed.

"Yeah. I am not that foolish. As long as they don't cross the line, that is." He shrugged.

She shook her head helplessly and went back together with him.

The moment Alex came back, Sherry threw herself at him, revealing her progress. Of course, Alex was happy after looking at her progress but he had another important thing to do. He looked at Anya for a while before sighing. There was only one last wall to break before he could fully accept her.

By this time, Shelka had arrived back home. Nano immediately informed Alex concerning this matter. "Young Master. That princess has arrived. After telling the King about the journey and the reason, she had yet to do anything. The king was also the same. I assume they are going to do something about this.

"I apologize if I use rude words, but I need to express this to you, Young Master. She is sick on the head. After she arrived in her bedroom, she started masturbating while thinking about you. Currently, she is asleep, but I feel she will be a threat to us. Should I kill her?"

"..." Alex coughed a few times, surprised by the report. It seemed the princess was sexually frustrated. "Leave her be for now. As long as she does not make trouble for us before we go back to the other side, I will not do anything. Of course, if she is planning something, we might need to kill her."

"Understood. I shall continue my observation."

"Yes."

After answering, he went back to his room to learn about the Dragon Strengthening Technique, wondering what kind of book it was. According to Stina, this book was an ancient book which the previous Supreme used. It was the current strongest body refining technique, capable of increasing a few hundred dragon strengths.

'Dragon Strengthening Technique is a Powerful Strengthening Technique that is linked to one's soul. The premise is to strengthen the bone, allowing one to draw out his/her latent potential.'

Alex was intrigued by the technique as it was something similar to Undying Body Refinement, albeit without any special ingredients. He only needed to take another session of gruesome training and his strength would increase.

At first, he wondered if this would drive him away from humanity, but after checking a few times, there was no such thing. So, he proceeded in his training again. Before that, he came to Anya and asked, "What is the progress on the other side?"
