Chapter 281: Recruiting Magical Beast Underlings

Chapter 281: Recruiting Magical Beast Underlings

Vlizica continent was surrounded by forest. Some people claimed the forest was as vast as the continent, while others believed it was bigger.

The Framingburns forest behind Nightshire City was far bigger than anyone had imagined. If the entire city were placed within its bounds, it would not even cover half its territory.

Ren was currently flying in the inner region alone.

Even though he had visited it once, he still didn’t know where to find powerful magical beasts because he was teleported to a faraway place shortly after that.

’Where should I go to find them?’

It would take a long time if he only depended on his system because the radius of the scan feature was only one hundred meters.

’I don’t want to use this method, but it seems like this is my only option.’

He stopped flying and took a deep breath.

*Roar...

After delivering a powerful roar, Ren shot flame into the sky, challenging all magical beasts in the forest.

Shortly after that, fifty magical beasts appeared.

’Good!’

Even though the strongest among them was only at 3-star, he didn’t mind it because what he needed was information about Framingburns Forest.

"What?! A dragon?!"

"Another dragon came to this place?!"

"Run! Leave this place now!"

They ran in panic right after finding out who provoked them.

However, running from him was not easy, especially when their speed was much slower than his.

For this reason, Ren could appear before them in a short time.

"Stop!" Ren released his 5-star aura as he roared.

All magical beasts instantly stopped running and trembled in fear.

Of course, they still wanted to run away from him.

However, their bodies refused to listen to them as his aura had gripped them like invisible chains, pressing down with such overwhelming force that even the instinct to flee was slowly crushed by it.

"I will ask you one question. Who is the Ruler of this forest?" Ren went straight to the point.

"The Ruler? Do you mean all the kings in this forest?" the 3-star jaguar replied as he lifted his head in tremble.

"All the kings?" Ren raised an eyebrow. "Explain in detail!"

"I’m willing to explain everything in detail, but before that... can you please stop releasing your terrifying aura?" his intimidating aura made it hard for them to breathe, so the 3-star deer begged him to stop. "We promise we won’t run away again."

Ren granted his wish and stopped releasing his aura. "Explain it now!"

"There are five regions in this forest: northwest, southwest, northeast, southeast, and the center zone." The deer began explaining.

The king of the northwest was a white tiger. Its name was Hyzi. The southwest was ruled by a golden lion named Fyre.

The northeast region belonged to a black cheetah named Zareth. And the southeast was ruled by a white bear named Halvrik.

As for the central zone, he had no idea who ruled it now because the previous king died two months ago.

"How strong are they?" Ren threw another question at them.

"They are already at 4-star." the 3-star jaguar answered.

"I see." Ren suppressed the happiness within him. "Take me to them now."

The jaguar and the others wanted to cry after hearing his order.

They didn’t want to go to those places because it would kill them, but disobeying his order would also lead to their deaths.

No matter what they chose, the chances of dying were high.

But their chances of survival were higher if they listened to him because he was a powerful dragon.

"Al...alright." They replied in unison.

----

After traveling for three hours, they finally arrived at Hyzi’s territory. They brought him to his place first because it was the closest.

Hyzi’s base was simple.

It was an open field with a stone throne in the middle.

His headquarters was surrounded by tall cliffs, and only a few trees grew there due to the poor fertility of the soil.

As Ren and the others were heading to his base, Hyzi sat on his throne with a bored face.

Even though he was a king, he didn’t feel happy.

He felt like something was missing in his life.

Nothing even excited him anymore.

It was different from when he tried to become king of the northwest region. That was why he felt bored every single day.

"What a boring life and boring place!" Hyzi was not in his beast form but in a demi-human form. "Should I attack other regions?"

As a crazy idea popped up in his mind, one of his subordinates rushed toward him before finally kneeling on one knee.

"My king, fifty magical beasts have come to our place." The 3-star wolf reported. "Their leader is a dragon."

"A dragon?" Hyzi said in surprise. "Why did they come to our place?"

"I don’t know, my king." The wolf responded. "They said they have something to tell you, my king."

"They have something to say to me?" Hyzi touched his chin. "Bring them to me."

"Understood, my king." After saying that, the wolf left.

"Another dragon came to this place?" he didn’t expect a dragon to come to Framingburns forest again.

’I suddenly can’t wait to meet him.’

His lips curled up into an exciting grin.

Shortly after that, the wolf returned with Ren and the others.

As they headed to the throne area, Ren skimmed his surroundings, checking Hyzi’s subordinates.

’He has many subordinates. There are even more than a hundred 3-star magical beasts. Not bad, not bad.’

After they were in front of Hyzi, he immediately checked his strength with his system.

’He is at 4-star like they said.’

Happiness swelled within him because finding a 4-star beast was not easy.

Like Ren, Hyzi also checked his strength.

However, he didn’t know how strong Ren was because his rank was lower than Ren’s.

’I can’t tell how strong he is. It seems like he is stronger than that black dragon.’

Even though Ren was most likely stronger than him, Hyzi still sat on his throne calmly.

"Why did you come to my place? Are you planning to attack me and snatch my territory?" Hyzi inquired.

"Going straight to the point, huh? Then I will give you an honest answer." Ren liked talking to straightforward people because he didn’t need to think hard when he chatted with them. "I came to your place with one purpose. I want you to become my follower. Hyzi, be my first follower!"

Hyzi widened his eyes in surprise.

In the next second, his surprised face turned into laughter.

"Haha." Hyzi didn’t expect Ren to say something like that.

Ren didn’t attack him when Hyzi suddenly laughed. He wanted to recruit Hyzi as his underling so he would avoid fighting if he could.

"Sorry for laughing." Hyzi stopped laughing. "I thought you wanted to kill me and snatch my territory. That was why I laughed after hearing your answer."

"It’s not your land I want. It’s you." Ren responded. "I heard about your journey to become king of the Northwest region, so I wanted to take you as my follower."

"What makes you think I will become your follower?" Hyzi inquired.

Instead of answering his question, Ren talked about something else. "Don’t you feel bored living in your small territory?"

"Small territory? What are you talking about?" Hyzi was shocked by Ren’s question, but he only laughed. "Just for information, my territory is not small. I even have ten thousand subordinates under my command. There is no way I could get bored with this kind of life."

"You don’t need to lie, Hyzi. I know you are bored with your current life." Ren could tell everything by the light in Hyzi’s eyes and the look on his face.

Hyzi didn’t say anything and only stared at Ren.

"If you follow me, I promise you will feel excited every day." Ren tried to persuade him. "Not only that, but you will also become famous and live in a place far bigger than this one."

"Oh? Are you planning to attack Nightshire City like the previous dragon?" Hyzi knew what Julzreon had done to Nightshire City because Julzreon had tried to recruit him in the past.

"Nightshire City? No! Nightshire City is too small for my ambition." There was no way Ren would attack it because it was his hometown.

"Too small? Then what is your ambition?" Hyzi inquired.

"I want to become the Ruler of Luvrela Region." Ren stopped his words and corrected it. "No. I want to become the Ruler of this world."

"The Ruler of this world?" Hyzi was shocked by Ren’s dream.

"That’s right." Ren replied. "So, how is it? I’m sure you will feel excited every day if you follow me because many exciting adventures are waiting for us."

"You really have a big ambition, huh?" A big smile appeared on Hyzi’s face. "But big ambition without being supported by big power is useless."

He then rose to his feet and approached Ren slowly.

"Show me! Show me that it’s not only an empty ambition." After saying that, Hyzi ordered all his subordinates to attack Ren because he wanted to know how strong Ren was.

As Ren saw ten thousand magical beasts rushing toward him, he didn’t move from his place.

’He wants to test me, huh?’

Before they could attack him, Ren released his aura.

Boom!

All of Hyzi’s subordinates fell to the ground instantly.

More than half of them fainted, while the rest had difficulty breathing.

Hyzi even dropped to his knees and could only glance at him, so it was normal if more than half of his subordinates fainted because they were much weaker than him.

While still releasing his aura, Ren spoke, "Hyzi, have you forgotten that numbers are meaningless before absolute strength?"
