Chapter 65: Old Ni Becomes 6th Rank!
Ash sighed in relief the moment he checked the notification, as the progression had finally reached 100% and he could upgrade Leon’s rank again.
Looking at Leon, who was breathing haggardly, Ash ordered the system in his heart. "Upgrade Leon’s rank!"
[Ding! 100,000 Tribal Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Leon has successfully broken through to the 4th Rank Crimson Fire Dragon.]
The moment Ash heard the notifications from the system, Leon immediately felt an enormous amount of energy poured into his massive body at once.
He roared as his body grew bigger at an extremely fast speed.
Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
Leon roared in excitement as he just became stronger once again right after his advancement a while ago.
A few moments later, Leon’s body stopped growing when it had reached around 4.5 meters tall and 13.5 meters long, with his wings about 22.5 meters.
This time, Ash barely felt any energy feedback from the system. He raised an eyebrow and thought about it for a moment to only realize that he basically didn’t increase any of Leon’s stats.
The reason for that was purely because the Tribal Points needed to increase Leon’s stats were just too much since the price was ten times more expensive than upgrading himself and other tribe members, resulting in him needing more than a million Tribal Points just to max Leon’s stats at the 4th.
With a million Tribal Points, he could literally upgrade Garnak and Old Ni to 6th Rank and still has some leftover to upgrade some 4th ranks to 5th ranks.
Ash then checked Leon’s personal information as he was curious if there was any worth mentioning after becoming 4th Rank Crimson Fire Dragon.
[Leon]
[Race: Fire Dragon]
[Rank: 4th Rank Crimson Fire Dragon]
[Bloodline: Imperial-tier Crimson Fire Dragon]
[Attribute: 4th Rank Crimson Fire Element]
[Skills: Crimson Fire Claw, Crimson Fire Ball, Crimson Fire Breath, Crimson Fire Armor]
[Stats x28]: Strength: 900 / Agility: 900 / Health: 900 / Endurance: 900 / Sense: 900 / Mana: 900 / Magic: 900
’Crimson Fire Armor?’ Ash thought to himself and looked at the description of his skills.
[Crimson Fire Claw — Envelops the user’s claws in condensed crimson flames, greatly increasing cutting power and causing burning damage with each strike.]
[Crimson Fire Ball — Condenses crimson fire into a compressed sphere and launches it forward, exploding on impact and dealing area-of-effect fire damage.]
[Crimson Fire Breath — Releases a continuous stream of concentrated crimson flames from the mouth, scorching everything in a wide path.]
[Crimson Fire Armor — Ignites the dragon’s scales with blazing crimson fire, forming a burning armor that increases defense and scorches any enemy that makes contact.]
’Oh? The fire ball has changed a little bit?’
Ash raised an eyebrow when he looked at the description.
With the new (Crimson Fire Ball) skill, Leon could just condense the crimson fire around him unlike before, when he needed to gather mana in his mouth before unleashing it.
Feeling satisfied with Leon’s new skill, Ash instantly called him as he had somewhere in mind that he wanted to go.
He wanted to go directly to the strongest tribe and subjugate it so that he could complete his mission and upgrade his own rank.
However, just as they wanted to depart from the shore, Ash heard the notifications that surprised him.
[Ding! You have received a Side Mission.]
[Side Mission: Conquerors of the Mountain.]
[Description: Moonshadow Mountain hides ancient treasures guarded by powerful apex beasts. Eliminate the strongest protectors and claim the treasures they defend.]
[Objective 1: Kill the strongest beast—6th Rank Dark Leopard Beast within the mountain region. (0/1)]
[Rewards: Treasures guarded by the strongest beast, bloodline enhancement chance, etc.]
Ash opened his eyes wide for a second before immediately stomping his foot on Leon’s body, telling him to stop.
"Old Ni, get off for a second. I have something for you." Ash glanced at the old man beside him.
Old Ni didn’t question Ash and immediately jumped down.
"Upgrade Old Ni’s stats to maximum and upgrade his rank!" Ash ordered the system the moment Old Ni’s feet just touched the ground.
[Ding! 175,000 Tribal Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! You have increased Nirgos’s stats to maximum, adding 700 stats in total!]
[Ding! 250,000 Tribal Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Nirgos has successfully broken through to the 5th Rank Warrior.]
[Ding! You’ve achieved a new record, as Nirgos was the first person from the Ragh’Tal Tribe to reach the 6th Rank Warrior.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 50,000 Tribal Points!]
Old Ni immediately closed his eyes when he felt the familiar yet unknown energy flooded into his body.
A few moments later, he opened his eyes and flexed his palm before smashing his hand to the side.
Woosh!
A strong gust of wind was made just from Old Ni’s casual swing.
"Thank—"
Before Old Ni could express his gratitude, Ash cut him off as he waved his hand. "Stop doing that and let’s go right away. We have somewhere to go now."
Old Ni shook his head helplessly with a smile and jumped on Leon’s back again.
Subsequently, Ash told Leon to cross over the lake as their destination was at the cross of this vast lake. The lake was so vast that they spent a few minutes at Leon’s slow pace just to cross it.
On the way there, Ash bought several potions and gave them to Old Ni.
[Ding! 3,000,000 System Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! You have successfully purchased x3 6th Rank Mana Potion.]
[Ding! 1,000,000 System Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! You have successfully purchased x1 6th Rank Mana Potion.]
The moment Leon’s massive wings cut across the mist lingering above the lake, the reflection of the moonlit waters vanished beneath them.
Ahead stood a vast mountain.
Its upper slopes were wrapped in slow-moving clouds. The trees thinned the higher one looked, replaced by jagged rock faces and sharp ridges that resembled blades stacked upon blades.
