Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Competition
“Abe… does Captain Kaimon approve of your development in this regard?”
Just as everyone was impressed by Abe’s talent, Dumps adjusted his bronze-framed glasses and posed such a bizarre question.
It seemed that the Dragon Race was involved in some secrets unknown to the Holy City.
Speaking of this matter, Abe’s drunkenness also faded away substantially.
“My grandfather was indeed initially opposed. After all, my grandfather planned to groom me as the successor of the Behemoth Knight Group…”
Dumps added, “According to your talent and the dragon blood flowing in your body, there is a high chance of being called into the ‘Forbidden Army’ in the future.”
In Dumps’s words, he suddenly used a term Han Dong had never heard before.
Mia, sitting next to Han Dong, was also shocked and quickly asked, “Forbidden Army? The legendary dragon knights?”
Dumps nodded in confirmation, “Yes, the Forbidden Army truly exists.
Abe, you need to consider this carefully. After all, the Forbidden Army involves the Royal Family and the parliament. Once you’re selected, you won’t be able to take over the Behemoth Knight Group from Captain Kaimon.
This could be potentially good or bad for you.”
“Hmm.” Abe’s current gaze was exceptionally firm, as if he had already made a decision.

When it was about to be someone else’s turn in order, Mia suddenly interrupted and couldn’t wait to share her own activated talent.
“I also have two routes in my system…”
As she spoke.
A seemingly physical yet ethereal white flame burned between Mia’s eyes.
As Mia spread her arms, the witch fire ignited between her arms… it didn’t harm Mia, but it gave those present a sense of danger.
[Secret Path, First Layer]
Solal’s Witch Fire
“The path to the Secret Country is filled with unknown darkness, those who accidentally set foot on this path, or try to peep into it, will be devoured by the darkness.
Only with the aid of Solal’s Witch Fire could the unknown darkness be dispelled.”
Talent effect: Gives secret witchcraft-Solal’s Witch Fire
Witch fire can be added to any form of attack as an additional property. During attacks, it can cause damage to the soul (Soul Damage Value, 10% of the actual damage caused by the attack).
Any ability involving the ‘soul’ is considered high-level.
Little sister Winry’s eyes widened, “Sister Mia is so powerful!
It’s easy to craft an armor that provides high physical or magical defense.
But to create equipment with soul defense, specific soul materials are needed… plus, the overall melting and forging details have to be meticulous.”
“That’s right.”
Han Dong also gave a brief assessment, this result was indeed what Han Dong wanted Mia to achieve – to enhance her aggressiveness… to become a sharp spear in the team.
With Mia recalling the witch fire back into her body.
It was then blacksmith Winry’s turn.
The pinpointed talent tree gave sister Winry two routes – one was the blacksmith route, and the other was the pure strength route.
Both talent routes were attractive.
[Godsmith Hall, First Layer] – “Skill Enhancement”: Forging Level +1, increasing the success rate and speed of forging high-level equipment, reducing material consumption, and with a slight chance of creating equipment of a higher level than the material used.
[Infinite Power, First Layer] – “Praise of Hercules”: Basic Strength +10%, the limit of strength for individuals is reduced. Each time a demonic entity in physical form is defeated, there is a certain chance of gaining a permanent strength increase (+1 Strength Value).
Because of her joining the Hell Knight Corps.
Winry ultimately chose to pursue extreme destructive power… moreover, an increase in strength would also indirectly improve her forging success rate to some extent.
Dumps, pushing up his glasses, sighed softly, “Effects touching on the [Limit] issue… the power of gods?”
Winry’s power was already quite formidable, with this talent in play, Winry will completely transform into a muscular monster.
On a whim, Mia proposed, “Little sister Winry is so amazing! Speaking of which, Captain Abe’s [Dragon Clan] also greatly enhances his own strength… why don’t we have a little arm-wrestling contest?”
“Sure!”
Under the influence of alcohol, Abe promptly agreed.
But Han Dong faintly saw the word “danger” hanging over Abe’s head…
However.
The arm wrestling competition would have to wait until the first round of ‘Truth Time’ ended.
Finally, it was Dumps’s turn to talk about his talent tree system.
This was the point Han Dong was most interested in.
Dumps awkwardly laughed first, seemingly a bit embarrassed to talk about his ‘relatively weak’ talent: “As required by the Great Demon Leader, my talent points are invested in Demon-related talents under the name ‘Pursuer of the Magic Path’.
This enhances my sense for nether essence, my absorption efficiency, as well as my usage efficiency.
It can prolong the duration of ‘Demonization’…it’s similar to Abe’s talent. In the future, my demonization will also lean towards the demon direction.”
Dumps skipped the three systems in his own talent tree and talked directly about the first level ‘talent’.
Compared to other people’s strong talents, Dumps’s ‘Pursuer of the Magic Path’ seemed really puny.
However, it seemed slightly stronger compared to Han Dong’s ‘Dark Knowledge’ which was all about ‘studying’.
Hearing this, Han Dong realised a problem.
He thought: “Everyone’s ‘Demonization’ would, guided by the talent tree, change towards one’s own attribute.
Like Diana’s Bones, Abe’s Giant Dragon, and Dumps’s Demon…there seem to be few people like me who directly utilize the raw energy of the Demons.”
“Nicholas, what about your second level?”
“The exchange of information is also equivalent…for the second-tier talent, I chose to keep it confidential for now.
You’ll naturally know when we’re on a mission together.”
Han Dong and Dumps looked at each other and chuckled, instantly feeling a sense of camaraderie.
Next up was the second activity of the party.
The wine glasses on the table had been cleared.
“Come on!”
Abe, tipsy, fully activated the dragon blood in his body while secretly tapping into the power of the Hundred Beasts.
His right arm on the drinking table immediately revealed a lot of hardened dragon scale structures. The surface was also covered with a layer of fluffy white animal fur…the muscular tissue had reached twice its usual size.
Traces of dragon-like aura faintly surfaced on his body.
His eyes had turned into those of a dragon.
He was gazing at little Winry across the table, full of fighting spirit.
“Come on.”
Due to her personality, Winry was still a bit timid in the face of this situation.
She slowly extended her sturdy right arm, the palms clasping each other.
The refereeing of this arm wrestling tournament was handed over to Han Dong, who possessed the Demon Eye, to ensure absolute fairness.
“Relax first.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1…Start!”
As Han Dong gave the order.
Underground, the bar named “Eye of Medusa” echoed with a loud noise…
On the first floor public area, a patron who was cuddling with an accompanying server was knocked out cold.
A hole had broken in the obsidian ceiling.
Abe, covered all over with dragon scales, lay in the ruins of the first floor, his arm dislocated, and a completely unconscious patron under him…
Meanwhile, Winry, in the second-floor private booth, was bowing her head repeatedly, apologizing, her mind a total blank.
