Chapter 687 Clash Of Titans [Part 2]
“I’m sure,” Lux replied. “Take one for old time’s sake.”
Malcolm understood what Lux was trying to say, so he no longer hesitated and chose the last remaining Wyvern, which had brown-scales covering his entire body.
The teenagers from the Xynnar War Pact, and the Six Kingdoms were feeling envious of the gifts that the Half-Elf had given to his friends and acquaintances.
What they didn’t know was that this was Lux’s plan to make all of them loyal to him.
If they could see him as a leader who was willing to share his spoils of war, he would be able to gain a good image in their eyes, as well as the people that were watching them from outside the Domain of the Fallen.
While the Half-Elf was feeling satisfied with how things turned out, the Dragon Token stirred, and Keoza’s voice sounded inside his mind.
‘I am sensing two Dreadnaught-Ranked World Bosses to the North of this place,’ Keoza stated. ‘One of them feels familiar. Do you remember that Devil that tried to kidnap Cai in the Gate of Conquest? I believe that it’s him again. You should be careful. Even if you call for me, I won’t appear, do you understand?”
“Does this have something to do with the Crystal Palace?”
“…”
Keoza sighed, but he didn’t reply. Even so, his sigh had confirmed many things, which connected some pieces of the puzzle together.
“Be careful, and goodluck.”
Those were the last words that Keoza said before the Dragon Token returned to being dormant once more.
Lux felt conflicted about the Crystal Dragon’s current attitude, but since Keoza had helped him a lot in the past, he decided to just let things be.
Just as everyone had finished taming the Wyverns, Lux received a message from Alexander, informing him that several teenagers had entered the Domain of the Fallen.
As a Saint, he didn’t want to dirty his hands with killing mere Initiates because that would be beneath him.
‘Let them be, father,’ Lux replied. ‘Their arrival will not make any difference.’
‘Good,’ Alexander stated. ‘It’s good to see that you also prioritize the bigger picture. Just don’t let them order you around, okay?’
‘Understood,’ Lux answered.
Lux knew full well how prideful Dragons and Dragon Borns were after being around Cethus for a while.
Even so, he admitted that he found Aur’s sudden move quite surprising, which made him realize that he had underestimated the handsome Dragonoid, who seemed to be determined to accomplish the goal that he had set out to do.
‘Well, as long as they don’t get in my way, I’ll let them tag along,’ Lux thought. ‘But, I need to find Great General Sherlock and Great General Watson first. According to Keoza, two Dreadnaught-Ranked Monsters are located in the North. If I’m not mistaken that is the direction of the Ammarian Kingdom. I’ll avoid them for a while, and head South.’
After finalizing his decision, the Half-Elf was about to order everyone to follow him when suddenly, he heard a notification sound inside his head, followed by rows of texts appearing in front of him.
Cethus, and Gerhart, glanced at each other after receiving the same notification sound and grinned. They already knew what this meant, and checked the information in front of them with serious expressions on their faces.
Cai, Keane, Xander, Henrietta, Einar, Val, as well as their other members, also received the notification sounds as well.
The Barbarians, the members of Val’s Guild, as well as the Guild Members of the Barbatos Academy were all part of Lux’s personal party.
He didn’t invite Jasper’s group, nor the three people from the Skystead Alliance because the Half-Elf only cared about his people.
Malcolm, who had once been part of Lux’s party in the past, realized what just happened because the teenagers that had just tamed their Wyverns were all looking at the blank space in front of them, as if reading something.
‘C-Could it be?’ Malcolm’s heart skipped a beat because his gut instinct was telling him that his guess was right.
Seeing that others managed to receive a quest, made him feel bitter. However, this bitterness instantly disappeared when a row of text appeared in front of him.
————————-
< Do you wish to Join Lux Von Kaizer’s Party? >
< Yes / No >
————————-
Malcolm didn’t even bat an eye and hurriedly accepted the invitation, as if he was afraid that it would disappear in front of him if he delayed his decision.
As soon as he chose the yes option, several rows of text appeared in front of him, allowing him to finally see the mission that the others had received as well.

A breath of cold air escaped Malcolm’s lips after reading the information of the quest.
Although he knew that Lux could fight against Argonaut Monsters, the two Dreadnaught World Bosses were still a great threat that they had to face.
Naturally, the red-headed teenager didn’t share his worries because he had several aces under his sleeve.
“Everyone, follow me,” Lux ordered as he summoned his Thunder Warg King, Jed. “We’re all heading South.”
Right now, he wanted to know if the Yelan Kingdom was still standing.
If there was a chance to save his old comrades, he would definitely not stand by and allow the Kingdom that Great General Sherlock and Great General Watson had protected with their lives end up in ruins.
