Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 13 Advanced to Extraordinary
Late at night, in the secret room of Middleton's Mansion.

Cohen looked at the dragon blood in front of him, feeling strange, and cast his gaze to Snape beside him:
"I am sorry to have wronged the Count."

Snape shook his head repeatedly:
"Your Majesty, I have failed to protect you on behalf of the late king. I am the one who has failed in my duty."

The bottle of dragon blood in front of you is from the royal treasury. Cohen asked Snape to ask the Prime Minister for it.

After all, it would be too conspicuous for him to take it himself, so he could only entrust the Earl of Middleton.

Poor Earl, he has been at odds with the Prime Minister all his life, but now he has to surrender and ask for dragon blood, which makes Cohen feel apologetic.

"It didn't arouse any suspicion."

Snape shook his head:

"I told Angus that I needed dragon blood to forge my body. He knew I was a [Totem Warrior] and my main attack was physical strength, so he didn't ask too many questions."

For Angus, being able to exchange a bottle of dragon's blood, which is of no use at the moment, for a compromise from the cabinet opposition is a very good deal.

Cohen nodded slightly. In addition to a bottle of dragon blood, there was also a ninth-level monster bone used to draw the seal on the table.

Snape said:
"The animal bone is from a legendary 'Warrior' thigh bone. I'm not sure if it can be used."

Cohen nodded and said, "That's enough."

He opened the blood bottle, and a vast dragon power came towards him. Snape was well prepared. The aura of the peak gold level instantly enveloped the secret room, and not a trace of dragon energy leaked out.

He picked up the animal bone, dipped it lightly in dragon blood, and drew a light line in the air. The thick dragon blood condensed in the void and did not dissipate.

Cohen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed to be the genuine blood of a real dragon. He calmed his mind and began to outline it according to the method deep in his memory.

Over time, the runes gradually took shape.

The dragon's might in the secret room grew stronger and stronger. At the same time, strands of golden power began to sweep towards Cohen through the mysterious runes.

As the last stroke of the pen fell, the entire secret room suddenly became brightly lit, as if it were daytime, and a golden dragon-shaped talisman slowly appeared before the two of them.

Cohen concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, pulling the runes towards his hand.

With a buzzing sound, as if a red-hot iron was burning the palm of his hand, a severe pain came over him, making him almost faint.

Immediately afterwards, a violent and violent dragon force began to impact his body and soul. After several hours of baptism, everything returned to calm.

Cohen suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of gold shone in his dark pupils, and his strong body exuded a powerful dragon power, which made Snape, who was already at the high end of the gold level, secretly feel uneasy.

Stretching out his right hand, a mysterious dragon-shaped seal slowly emerged—Dragon Seal Weapon Master, advancement successful!

A series of electronic sounds rang out:
"Successfully advanced to the Extraordinary class, gaining the following class skills: Barehanded Blade Seizure (Level 1), Transform into a Soldier (Level 1), and Counterattack Storm (Level 1). Gained the passive skill: Weapon Mastery."

"Barehanded Seizure: Level 1. Launch a Willpower check against an enemy. If successful, you will seize the opponent's weapon."

"Transform into a Thousand Weapons: Level 1, provides a friendly unit (including the host) with a magic weapon. The weapon's level is determined by the host's class level."

"Counter Storm": Level 50, wields the weapon to enter an absolute defense posture that lasts for two seconds. After two seconds, or if you activate this skill again, it will cause a one-second stun to the enemy unit. (Absolute Defense: Immune to attacks of the same level and below, and reduces high-level attacks by %)

"Weapon Mastery: Master any weapon to a certain level."

"Host advances to Bronze and obtains three random runes."

Just like the previous game, every time a player advances to a higher level (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Legend, Saint...), they will get a rune choice to form a stronger combination with their extraordinary profession.

A golden light flashed in his eyes, and three rune cards, two gold and one silver, appeared in front of him:

[Netherworld (Silver): Gain 40% attack speed] (Cut the Gordian knot!)

[Universal Scope (Gold Quality): Ranged weapons gain a 50% attack range bonus] (Seven steps away, the gun is fast; within seven steps, the gun is fast and accurate!)

[Adding Fuel to the Fire (Gold Quality): Attacks with an infinitely stackable burning effect, causing continuous damage] (The one that can be stacked is the strongest!)
Cohen hesitated for a moment and chose [add fuel to the fire].

This rune that infinitely stacks damage is an effective way to increase single-target damage, and is a good skill for Cohen, whose professional level is not high.

After selecting the rune, the electronic voice continued - "Detected that the host has advanced to the extraordinary level, gaining 2 attribute points."

"Dragon Blood Body Refining, 'Bronze Body' Refining Level 50%."

The voice ended, and a familiar attribute panel suddenly appeared in front of Cohen's eyes:
[Name: Corleone]

[Race: Human]

【Age: 16】

【属性：力量（11）、敏捷（10）、意志（10）、智力（13）、魅力（18）】

[Talent: Escape into Shadow (Level 1), Weapon Mastery]

[Extraordinary Occupation: Secret Occupation, Dragon Seal Weapon Master. Bronze Body: 50%]

[Professional Level: First Level (Low Bronze), Experience Points: 0/300]

[Professional Skills: Barehanded Blade Seizure (Level 1), Transform into a Soldier (Level 1), Counterattack Storm (Level 1)]

[Passive Skill: Weapon Mastery]

[Rune: Adding Fuel to the Fire]

[Equipment: Ghost Crab]

Looking at the familiar character panel, Cohen's heart trembled slightly.

The first is the bronze body with a completion rate of up to 50%. I have just advanced, and the bronze body should have a progress of zero. However, after refining the body with dragon blood, it was directly opened to 50%!

In other words, Cohen's current physical strength is comparable to that of a mid-bronze transcendent.

There is also the allocation of attribute points.

Cohen added all the attribute points he gained from the upgrade to his willpower. His professional skill "Snatching the Blade with Bare Hands" mainly relies on willpower. He can only successfully snatch the blade if his willpower attribute is higher than that of the opponent.

Looking at the "experience points" that appeared on the panel, Cohen's expression changed slightly. In the previous life's game, players did not need to practice to level up. They only needed to keep fighting to gain "experience points" and then they could keep leveling up.

Now that the "experience value" function on the panel is activated, it means that he can also advance quickly by constantly fighting, which is a good thing for Cohen who is pressed for time.

When everything was settled, Snape asked:
"Your Majesty, has your advancement been successful?"

Even though he had complete confidence in his Majesty, the [Dragon Seal Weapon Master] was, after all, a profession that only existed in records, and Earl Middleton couldn't help but feel nervous.

Cohen came back to his senses, his lips curled slightly, and a golden light flashed in his hand. When the light dissipated, a scimitar with an ancient shape and a sharp blade appeared in Cohen's hand.

The scarlet blade is engraved with mysterious dragon patterns, as if it can split the sky and the earth in one stroke!

With a thought, the scimitar was covered with golden light and turned into a round shield. A ferocious dragon head protruded from the center of the shield, ready to devour anyone.

Do whatever you want and transform yourself into a force of thousands!

Seeing this magical scene, Snape no longer hesitated and bowed and said:

"Your Majesty is truly a genius. He's even able to successfully advance to this 'secret position' that only exists in legends. Sooner or later, Effiin will welcome his true king!"

Cohen waved his hand and said:
"The court has been quite restless these past two days, right? What's going on in the southern border?"

Snape suppressed his emotions and replied:

"More than anything, the situation is not peaceful. Everyone knows what the Queen did in her study. The ministers are shocked by her strength, but they also have complaints about her actions. Making enemies with the most powerful noble in the country is not a good option in this precarious situation."

Snape paused and continued, "What's surprising is the attitude of the Southern Territory. Aside from sending a private letter to the Prime Minister, the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory has taken no other action. He hasn't even verbally protested to the Senate. It's truly intriguing."

Cohen's eyelids twitched:
"The biting dog doesn't bark. The more this happens, the more we must not let our guard down. Mr. Earl, help me keep an eye on the southern border. They definitely have allies in the capital."

"Yes!"
