Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

Every time Liu Nian slays a monster, a white light will fly out from the monster's corpse and merge into the throne in the center.

Liu Nian knew that this might be a necessary step to activate the final boss battle; all the monsters here had to be killed in order to awaken the final boss.

For the next hour, Yun Xiangrong, along with Liu Nian, summoned Arachne, Echo, and Charmander to join the battle.

The dried-up corpse monster fell down like wheat being harvested...

An hour later, the last dried-up corpse also collapsed.

[Level upgraded to Level 114!]

A system notification appeared in front of me.

Liu Nian let out a breath.

Yun Xiangrong was initially picking up the fallen items, but there were so many that her backpack was already full.

But there was no way to go back to the city to sell them, so after thinking about it, I could only start to select the best ones.

Liu Nian actually didn't want her to collect these junk items. She only wanted to pick the ones that were worth money or good materials, as the others wouldn't sell for much and would just take up space.

But Yun Xiangrong couldn't bear to part with it. Prices here are so high. If it weren't for the lack of backpack slots, she wouldn't even want to give up the basic equipment!

Left with no other choice, Liu Nian had to let the behemoth swallow everything whole.

The green light that had enveloped the throne had completely dissipated, revealing its true form.

This is a throne made of pure gold.

It is inlaid with countless huge and magnificent gemstones, which shimmer in the light.

A figure sat on the throne.

It was a mummified corpse—but completely different from other mummified corpses.

It was wrapped in layers of exquisite linen, embroidered with golden runes and hieroglyphs. Its head was adorned with a massive golden headdress—a tapestry of intertwined cobras and vultures. A heavy golden breastplate hung from its chest, inlaid with rubies, sapphires, and turquoise. Golden bracelets graced its wrists, and its fingers were adorned with a dozen or so rings, befitting a nouveau riche…

Its hands are folded in front of its chest, holding a golden scepter, exuding majesty.

Liu Nian squinted his eyes.

【name:???】

【grade:???】

The information is all question marks.

Yun Xiangrong walked to Liu Nian's side, looked at that figure, and her voice was a little dry.

"Is this... the Pharaoh?"

Liu Nian didn't say anything, but took a few steps forward.

Just then—

A system notification suddenly rang out.

[Global Announcement: Dragonborn players have spotted a zone boss near Graystone Keep!]

The regional boss has awakened. The first player to defeat this boss will receive an additional random permanent reward!

Liu Nian was stunned.

Yun Xiangrong was also stunned.

What does that mean?

Why the sudden announcement?

[Naraku no Kyoukai Main Channel]

The moment the system announcement appeared, the channel became lively:

"Holy crap? Who found the area boss??"

"What? Someone's found the area boss??"

"Coordinates! Give me the coordinates!!"

"Dragon descendants? What kind of race is that? I've never heard of it."

"A new race, I think. They just came out recently."

"I heard that it takes at least a hundred people to fight a regional boss?"

"Over a hundred people? You're being too conservative. Last time, that void invader sent over three hundred people and wiped out half of them!"

"I want to join in the fun even if the whole team gets wiped out!"

"What's the problem? This is the first time we've discovered something that's eligible for the first kill reward!"

"Whatever, who wants to team up with me for Graystone Fortress?"

"Does anyone know what race this Dragonborn is, or where he/she comes from?"

……

The channel was buzzing with excitement.

Meanwhile, in a tower in Ovitarn, a Sun Elf stared in disbelief at the message on the main channel.

Thranduil.

Leader of Dawn Guild, Level 175 Sun Elf.

As he looked at the words "Dragonborn," he recalled the level 104 player that Kal'tsit had brought back yesterday.

At first, he thought it was human, but later Kal'tsit told him that the other party was a race called the Dragonborn.

Thranduil frowned.

That newbie actually found the regional boss? Such incredible luck!

After thinking for a moment, he contacted Kal'tsit.

"exist?"

Kal'tsit looked at the message Thranduil sent, a hint of displeasure flashing across her face.

Of course she knew why the president had suddenly contacted her; she had also seen the system announcement!

If it weren't for your indifferent attitude yesterday, Liu Nian might already be a member of the Dawn Guild!

Wouldn't that mean the Dawn Guild could just take on the area boss?!

Kal'tsit was furious, but she still replied to the message: "What is it?"

Thranduil: "Um... what was the name of that dragonborn player you brought back yesterday?"

Kal'tsit: "Liu Nian. What's wrong?"

Thranduil: "Was it him who discovered the area boss in the system announcement?"

Kal'tsit was silent for a few seconds.

Then he replied, "I don't know."

Thranduil frowned. "Ask him for me."

Kal'tsit: "...Guild Master, I know what you mean, but he and I are just ordinary friends."

Thranduil: "Why don't you ask first?"

Kal'tsit was conflicted, but to be honest, she couldn't suppress her curiosity and, after thinking about it, she sent a message to Liu Nian.

A moment later, a regretful Kal'tsit sent Thranduil a message: "He's the one who found out."

Thranduil's eyes lit up.

"Great! Tell him we can help him fight this boss!"

Kal'tsit was speechless after being defeated by Thranduil!

How dare you say that! Helping someone fight a boss! Do they even need your help?

Thranduil said, "A regional boss can't be fought alone. He just got promoted; he doesn't know anyone. Helping him is a win-win situation!"

Kal'tsit didn't say anything.

She was internally ranting and raving—

President, have you forgotten what you said yesterday?

Now that someone has discovered the regional boss, you have the nerve to go and help them?

Are you kidding me?

Thranduil seemed to realize there was something wrong with his words, coughed, and changed his wording.

"Um... tell him I can accept him into our guild. Dawn may not be a large guild, but we're quite influential in Ovitarn. For a newcomer like him, joining us would be a huge win!"

Kal'tsit was speechless.

You're clearly asking for a favor, but you're acting like the other person got a huge benefit from it!

"Guild leader, they've already formed their own guild."

Thranduil was taken aback: "What?"

Kal'tsit: "He already established his own guild yesterday, and in the past few days, players of the Dragonborn have been gradually leveling up!"

Thranduil's expression changed.

A newbie who just got promoted actually started his own guild?

And there are still dragon descendants ascending to heaven?

A bit odd…

Ascension is something that either happens when an exceptionally powerful lone wolf ascends alone, or when the entire race ascends together. How could a race ascend one by one like this? Are they all exceptionally powerful lone wolves?
