War Online

Chapter 381: Evolution stone



As soon as Wil stepped inside the courtroom and didn't receive any notification of a no-combat zone, Wil realized that the Imperial palace might be considered as a wild zone.

So, within the palace, he can attack others while he could be harmed in return too.

To test his theory, he unleashed Heavenly Push to blast away the princess despite knowing that he won't be harmed much even if he allowed that attack to hit him.

And the result of his actions made his suspicions become true.

But, then, he remembered how he received EXP buff in the city lord's mansion. So, all he hoped now that he shouldn't receive such buff in this palace so that he gets the perk to assassinate anyone at their rooms while they were asleep, including the king.

Watching his children and his generals blasted away because of the powerful wind, the Dragon King unknowingly took a step back while remembering the scene of the death of six elder dragons.

"You, what have you done?" He erupted in anger, this time towards Wil.

*Ding! Favorability with Owen decreased by 40 points

Wil didn't care about the favorability but still, he felt the need to at least explain himself as he doesn't like to be painted as wrong due to misunderstandings.

Maintaining a serious expression on his face, he replied "I didn't use any mana. None of them is harmed. And Your Majesty, even I used any mana, it's not my fault that I was using my powers for self-protection when your guest was being attacked by your daughter in your own palace. If you don't like my actions, I will leave right away."

The ministers and the audience gasped in shock to see someone who dared to talk to the Dragon King in such a way as if they were equals.

They expected that the Dragon King will lose his cool and punish this so-called esteemed guest, but on the contrary, Owen sighed in relief as he realized none of their life forces decreased.

"Sorry." As a simple word escaped from the Dragon King, everyone was stupefied for a moment.

*Ding! Your favorability with the Dragon King increased by 40 points

Owen then once again turned his head towards the bunch of people who were about to stand up. "Kyla, for trying to harm my guest, your punishment is extended by one more year. Reuben, Frost, take her away from my sight."

As she was dragged by her brothers, the Dragon King sat on his throne again.

Addressing his ministers, he told them that Wil will stay as a guest in the royal palace as many days as he likes and ordered them to spread the news to the public that he will also get the same amount of respect a prince gets.

The Dragon King further warned that those who will disrespect his guest will be faced with harsh punishment.

Wil stayed silent while feeling his overbearing attitude extremely annoying, although he doesn't know that others also feel similar whenever he gives the orders. 

He didn't speak about Iphi and excused himself from the courtroom.

"There's no exp buff, Cool," Wil let out a long whistle as he entered the guest room. He now believed that there might not be a no-combat zone within the whole palace.

Closing the doors, he sat on the bed and hurriedly took out two golden-colored pebbles.

They were glowing brightly just like the light stone fragment.

Evolution stone

Grade: Legendary+

Description: An object that was formed within the heart of the beast after it evolves two times. It can be used to evolve a battle companion, a piece of equipment, or any unique item by skipping necessary requirements.

"Eh? It was a legendary+ grade object?" Wil was taken aback to see the grade was different from what remembered even though the description was exactly the same. According to his memory, it was supposed to be a legendary grade.

As something clicked in his mind, he then inspected the second one.

Evolution stone

Grade: Legendary 

Description: An object that was formed within the heart of the beast after it evolves two times. It can be used to evolve a battle companion, a piece of equipment, or any unique item by skipping the necessary requirements.

"This one is a legendary grade." A frown appeared on Wil as he fell into deep thoughts.

After thinking for a while, he concluded that the evolution stone's grade depends on its effectiveness on the object.

As he only possessed one legendary+ grade object in his previous life that was evolved because of an evolution stone that he got his hands on, Wil wondered whether the first one work on the legendary+ grade objects.

"If that were true…" The image of a Dinosaur and a five-tailed wolf appeared in his mind. "No."

At first, he threw the thought away, thinking that he should rather evolve the accessory into a mythic- grade rather than T-Rex or Felix but then, another thought appeared in his mind. 

"That's right, why should I bother raising my attack power further when there's a damage cap?"

Feeling that there's no use in raising personal attack power further, Wil decided to try on the battleship to evolve it to legendary+ grade and use the remaining one on the T-rex.

"Okay, this is settled."

Since he could summon neither of them in such a closed space, Wil put those two pebbles back into the inventory.

***

Reverie city, Province of Reverie;

Inside a seemingly ordinary inn, Bran, Sierra, a level-400 General, three other high-level guild Elites gathered in a room on the top floor. Along with them, the fallen princess of Reverie is also participating in the discussion.

Like the crown princess, the General of Reverie also managed to escape while he was being transported to the Searvale kingdom.

After searching for so long, he reunited with Bran, who led him to the princess. 

"Your highness, The Citadel of Searvale is highly guarded. It is very difficult to free our soldiers but if there's a huge distraction, we can make it possible." The General voiced out his opinion.

As the princess looked at Bran for opinion, another guild Elite spoke, "No, one is too risky. There shouldn't be just one but several distractions. We need to make sure all their Generals are away from the capital city. And it also should be done between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. During such time, most people will be asleep and people like us won't be available."

"In that case, we need a huge number of Elites," Sierra suggested of bringing extra manpower from Predators guild but bran outrightly rejected it, explaining that their Guild might have to cede one of their territories to that massive guild from the outside kingdom as payment.

Sierra was a little bit dejected that she was outspoken by her boyfriend in such a way, but still, she kept her expression calm on the outside.

"Any ideas, Crimson Sun?" The princess looked at Bran expectantly.

In response, a mysterious smile appeared on Bran, "I have a friend who can take me to the Citadel without causing any commotion. I can release everyone from the prison and let the other prisoner cause a distraction while I take our men to safety. However, there's one issue…"

"What is it?" The Princess asked him.

"It's the Queen. Generals don't matter. However, as long as the Searvale's Queen is nearby, it isn't possible." Bran asked them to think of an idea to drag the Queen out of the Searvale kingdom.

The room was filled with silence for an entire minute until suddenly, Bran himself thought of an idea.

Patting the shoulder of the General who sat beside him, Bran said, "General Carson, you will go in my place and release our soldiers. I'm going to challenge the Queen or force her to fight against me."

"What!" Everyone stood up from their seats in surprise.

"Are you crazy?" Sierra was the first to erupt. "Challenging the Queen is the same as declaring war against her. If you lose, then, you will be blacklisted from the kingdom."

He waved his hands with a smile, "don't worry. As long as the battle will not have a result, everything will be fine. The only issue here is that my popularity might drop…"

"Hmm?" Everyone couldn't help but wonder what he's going to do to achieve such a result.
