System's POV

Chapter 619: I Will Disown You



Although Thirteen had expected it, he didn't think that Arthur and Michael would be right by his face when he woke up.

The sun had just set on the horizon, and a feast was prepared to celebrate his safe return.

Everyone ate and chatted happily while they listened to Thirteen's recount of his latest mission in Solterra.

Arthur and Lady Callista were amused when they heard that their grandson had made the Wanderers build wagons and trained them for a month before heading to start their mission.

They also found it quite interesting that the Heirs of the Cygni Faction appeared in the same location where Thirteen was sent for his mission.

When the teenage boy narrated how the battle between the Lizardmen and the Ratmen concluded, everyone at the dining table looked at him in disbelief.

"You beat a Rank 8 Monster on your own?" Arthur asked in disbelief.

"It's just a Rank 8 Monster," Thirteen replied. "It's not a big deal."

"It is a big deal, Zion," Lady Callista said with a smile. "You just make it sound like it isn't."

"Then what happened to the Shard of Origin?" Arthur inquired.

"I returned them to the Ratmen," Thirteen answered.

"What?!" Arthur almost pounded the table with his fist in dismay. Fortunately, he was able to hold back and control his impulse. "Why did you return it?"

"Why shouldn't I return it?" Thirteen asked back.

"With it, you could have command over an entire race," Arthur explained. "Isn't that a big deal?"

"Even if I don't have it with me, I can still command the Ratmen Race if I want to." Thirteen shrugged. "I returned it to them so that they can have some peace of mind. Don't worry, Gramps. I already have a plan in regards to the Ratmen in Absolute Heaven."

Arthur sighed before nodding in understanding. Thirteen then continued his tale.

"After ending the war between the Lizardmen and the Ratmen, I led the Wanderers to enter a one-way portal," Thirteen said. "That is where we merged with Diana's group. Um, Diana is the Crusader of the Hero Party, just in case you don't know who she is. Then after our merger, we headed to the Kingdom of the Absolute..."

Everyone was immersed in Thirteen's storytelling. But when it came to the point where the King of the Absolute summoned a Majin King, a deathly silence descended in the Dining Room.

Almost everyone, with the exception of Rhia and Remi, forgot how to breathe due to how shocking Zion's story was.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I should have expected something like this..." Gerald commented. "Every time you undergo a mission in Solterra, you always fight against monsters who can make Monarchs run away with their tails behind their legs."

Arthur snorted. "Don't tell me that you're going to say something like 'It's just a Majin King' like you always do?"

Clearly, the Patriarch of the Leventis Family was expecting that Thirteen would start bragging. However, the scene that he was imagining didn't happen.

"Fighting against a Majin King is no joke," Thirteen stated. "I asked Cranky for help and invited the three Earth Dragons from the Rigel Continent as backup, but it was no use. The Majin King was crazy strong and had an extremely fast regeneration rate.

"Despite giving everything we have and putting our lives on the line, it ended with Cranky dying in order to save my life. At least, I genuinely thought he died back then because he received fatal injuries."

Arthur frowned. "Cranky is that Honey Badger that I saw in the Arcadia Archipelago, right?" Thirteen nodded. "Yes. That's him."

"He died?" Lady Callista asked.

She had heard Thirteen mention before that the Honey Badger was one of his staunchest allies. Hearing that it received fatal injuries in order to protect Thirteen made her sigh in her heart.

"I thought he died, which made me realize that I made a wrong decision," Thirteen stated. "Because of that, I decided to go all-out and kill the Majin King. Um, that reminds me. Pops, I have the Majin King's corpse with me. If you can't craft a Mythical Equipment using a Majin King's body parts, I will disown you."

Alessia, Gerald, Arthur, Michael, and Hanz almost choked on their saliva because Zion mentioned killing a Majin King as if he had just crushed a bug.

Also, the thing that surprised them the most was that he actually got its entire body, which was supposed to be over a hundred meters in length.

"You killed a Majin King?" Arthur asked while the corner of his lips twitched uncontrollably. "You're going to disown me if I fail to craft a Mythical Equipment?" Gerald asked in disbelief. "The answer is yes to both questions," Thirteen replied before casually taking out a Serpent Scale that was a meter long from his Dimensional Storage. "Here Pops, take a good look at his high-quality crafting material."

Gerald reached out to grab the Black Scale with trembling hands.

Due to the financial situation of his family, he didn't dare to purchase high-grade crafting materials in the past.

Now, he no longer had to worry about money.

However, he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to use a Scale from a Majin King to craft equipment.

"Don't worry, I have hundreds of those scales, so it's fine if you fail on your first try," Thirteen replied. "I almost forgot. The members of the Cygni Faction and the Elites that joined me in the battle against the Majin King were also able to salvage eight Serpent Scale.

"A few want to auction it for money, while the members of the Cygni Faction planned to have their blacksmiths use it as crafting material. Although the chance is low, there is a possibility that they will be able to successfully craft Mythical Equipment using that scale. "Pops, I let them get the scales so that it can divert the attention of the Monarchs and the other Prestigious Families into using them as crafting materials.

"I'm not expecting you to succeed after a dozen tries. But, if the other blacksmiths are able to craft a mythical gear using a mere one piece or a few pieces of the Majin King's Scale, I will

really disown you."

Gerald nodded. "I will make a trip to Solterra and visit that shady organization that you befriended. Their Flames of Sylvanna will increase my chances of success."

"Good." Thirteen smiled before shifting his gaze to Arthur. "Gramps, how is Project Nemo going? You should have at least been halfway finished by now, right?"

Arthur had asked for the blueprint of Nautilus, but it was one of Thirteen's trump cards.

Because of this, he had given his Grandpa the neutered version of Project Nautilus, which he

called Project Nemo.

"Two submarines are halfway done," Arthur replied. "They will be ready before the full-scale Jinn Invasion in the Cygni Continent."

Thirteen nodded because that was all he needed to hear.

As long as the Leventis Family succeeded in building the two Destroyer-Class submarines,

they wouldn't have to worry about Water and Sea-Type Jinns, who could cause problems for the battleships in the sea.

They would act as Nautilus' escort ships, and dominate the underwater battlefield if the situation called for it.

After a brief discussion about the projects Thirteen had asked to be built while he was away, he resumed his storytelling, which made the adults who were listening to him draw a deep breath due to how unbelievable his journey had been.
