Chapter 157 Immortal Dragon Conqueror’s Legacy
C
“Are you sure that these are the three items that you want?” Keoza asked.
Lux nodded. “Yes.”
It was not easy, but after deliberating for a long time, the Half-Elf settled for the three items that were currently floating in front of him.
The first item he chose was the Golden Dragon Token, which allowed him to create a Guild, as well as summon an Argonaut Ranked Crystal Dragon to help him.
The second one was the Argonaut Ranked Beast Core, although he could only use it after he became a Ranker.
Choosing the last item was the hardest part since there were many other items that Lux wanted to have. However, it was not possible, so he settled for something that allowed him to travel to places without too much hassle.
Yes. The last item that Lux chose was none other than the Boots of Teleportation. He felt that as long as he had this artifact, he would be able to come and go wherever he pleased as long as the destination was within five miles around him.
“Since this Dungeon will disappear the moment you leave this place, I decided to add some freebies to your rewards.” Keoza grinned. “I noticed earlier that you wanted the Dragon War Art, but you were unable to wield it because you don’t have the blood of dragons flowing in your veins.”
“Since that is the case, I will bestow upon you the Dragon War Art, as well as the vial of Dragon’s Blood. This will be my last gift to you. Please, take it.”
A worn out book as well as a vial that contained a dark-red liquid, which Lux assumed to be Dragon’s Blood, floated in front of him.
“Thank you, Your Excellency,” Lux bowed his head respectfully in order to thank the generous Crystal Dragon who had just given him an unexpected surprise.
“Don’t thank me yet,” Keoza said. “You need to drink that Dragon’s Blood here and use the Skill Book in my presence. This is to ensure that you will be the only one to use it. I’d hate it if you were to suddenly auction these items just to get some gold coins. I don’t care what you do with the other items you handpicked, but this gift that I have given you must be used here.”.
Lux nodded his head in understanding and drank the Dragon’s Blood in front of Keoza’s watchful eyes.
Suddenly, a burning sensation erupted from inside his chest, as his body heated up, turning his skin red.
“Pa!” Eiko, who was perched on top of Lux’s head, cried out in alarm as the Half-Elf collapsed on the ground and writhed in pain.
“Don’t worry, little one,” Keoza assured the Slime who started to cry after seeing her Papa’s condition. “He will be fine… maybe.”
“Wuwuwu!” the baby Slime cried as she pressed her head against Lux’s forehead that was as hot as coal.
It was at that moment when a series of notifications appeared in front of Lux, but he was in too much pain to pay any attention to them.

Lux kept panting even after the pain he felt subsided. His skin had already returned to its normal color, and the paleness in his expression gradually starting to fade away.
“I’m fine, Eiko,” Lux said as he lay on the ground, while trying to regain his composure.
Eiko had stopped crying and jumped on Lux’s chest. She could tell that her Papa was recovering, so there was no need for her to be worried anymore.
“Congratulations,” Keoza nodded in satisfaction. “The Dragon’s Blood has successfully integrated with your body. Although it is only a few drops of blood, it is more than enough for you to learn the Dragon War Art. The blood will also strengthen your body, and make it tougher when compared to normal mortals.”
“I don’t really know the specifics, so you will have to find the changes that have happened in your body by yourself. Also, don’t worry. The blood you gained will not be enough for you to transform into a dragon or grow dragon wings behind your back, but that could change in the future if you happen to gain the blood of a Red Dragon to further refine your bloodline.”
Lux slowly propped himself up from the ground before grabbing the Dragon War Art Skill book and opening it.
A moment later, the book transformed into particles of light and flew inside Lux’s body.
Knowledge of the Dragon Wart Art appeared inside his mind. The Half-Elf knew that it would take some time before he fully understood the information that was planted inside his head, so he decided to fully study his new Martial Art after he left the Dungeon.
“See you later, Lux,” Keoza said as the Crystal Dragon turned into particles of light and merged with the Golden Dragon Token that floated in front of the Half-Elf.
Lux subconsciously reached out to hold the Golden Token in his hand and observed it.
The image of a Crystal Dragon with its wings spread wide could be seen embedded on its surface, making the Half-Elf understand why Keoza said “See you later, Lux”, instead of “Goodbye, Lux”.
Lux then grabbed the Teleportation Boots and equipped them. Lastly, he took the floating Argonaut Beast Core and placed it inside his storage ring.
As soon as Lux took all of his rewards, a light descended from above his head, and covered him completely in its blinding radiance.
A moment later, the entire dungeon shook as the Dungeon Core shattered into hundreds of pieces. A few seconds later, the Grotto of the Forbidden Guardian vanished from the face of the world, never to be seen again.
