Chapter 134: Pride Of An Overlord
As Darven's enormous body settled into the ground beside Cinder, the reaction from the livestream audience was instantaneous.
More people went wild at the sight of Alister's second dragon. The chat exploded with comments.
"Did you guys see the size of that dragon?! It's huge!"
"Alister's got TWO dragons now? Is he even human? This dude's on another level!"
"How the heck did he manage to get another one so soon? And it's even bigger than the first!" "Look at those scales, that dark purple hue... Is this some kind of ancient dragon species?" "Bro must have some secret method. No way he got that through regular summoning."
"I heard a rumor that his dragon can also transform into a humanoid form! Imagine if it's even stronger in that form! Wait... What if one is a girl?!"
"That roar though... I felt that through the screen. I can't even imagine how it feels to be near it in real life."
"Okay, now I'm convinced. Alister's team is going to wipe out everything in that valley. There's no way those monsters stand a chance."
"I'll be starting a fan club for Alister's dragons! Who wants to join me?"
"But what if this dragon's not fully under his control yet? It could go berserk or something." "Man, I wish we could get a closer look at that thing. It's massive! What's its attack power?" "This is insane... Alister's about to become a legend if he pulls this off."
The comments scrolled rapidly, with more and more people joining the stream, drawn by the sheer awe of a battle with two powerful dragons on the frontline. Everyone seemed eager to see what would happen next, their excitement seemed like it would make them burst.
Hiroshi, who had been standing a short distance away from Alister, couldn't help but express his own reaction.
"Alister has a way of trying to end me with heart attacks," he grumbled, his hand over his chest as he tried to calm his racing heart. "Did his summon really have to roar like that?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Kaida, who was standing nearby, chuckled softly. "It seems like you're the only one who gets shocked whenever Alister summons his dragons. Does this mean... you're scared?" She was teasing him, a mischievous look in her eyes.
Hiroshi narrowed his eyes at her, a touch of annoyance creeping into his voice. "I see. So you're using my own words against me now."
Kaida raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence. "Is there a rule against that? Something I'm unaware of?"
Before Hiroshi could respond, Ren, interrupted their little chat. "Stay sharp."
"The jump's coming up soon."
They both fell slient, looking ahead.
The team moved together, heading towards the edge of the cliff. As they reached the precipice, they gazed down into the valley below, the bright light from the magma below illuminating their faces with an orange glow.
The entire valley was crawling with monsters, their glowing eyes and shifting bodies was disturbing yet fascinating to watch.
Hiroshi squinted, leaning forward slightly to get a better look. His eyes moved from one monster to the next, quickly assessing the situation.
Small talent windows belonging to the monsters appeared in his view.
"Let's see... Dreadstalkers, Night Reavers, and-oh, there we go-Scythe Beasts. Yup, we're starting out with A-Ranks."
Ren adjusted his glasses, his expression didn't change one bit as he took a look at the valley. "A-Ranks or not, we proceed as planned. Alister, Cinder, and Darven will be starting on the other side. The rest of us will move in from here."
Alister, still standing between his dragons, nodded silently as he heard Ren's voice over the coms. His mind already working through the plan. He could feel the weight of the mission on his shoulders, but with Cinder and Darven by his side, the burden felt lighter.
"Let's not waste any time then," Ren said once more.
"We're already behind schedule."
As if on cue, a sharp sound echoed in Alister's mind, and the system's voice echoed.

Alister's eyes narrowed as he heard the message. His lips curled into a smirk, the thrill of the challenge stirring something primal within him.
He muttered to himself, "A dragon that can shatter laws, huh?" to Alister, it was obvious what the dark quartz could be used to summon, and the idea intrigued him.
Darven, the massive purple-scaled Lightling Dragon, and Cinder, the fearsome Black Crimson Drake, both lowered their heads together.
Their deep voices echoed through the air without the need to open their colossal maws. "We pay our respects to our lord."
The livestream comments erupted with shock, the viewers awestruck by the sight of Alister commanding such immense creatures with such ease.
"Is this real?!"
"He has this level of control over those beasts?"
"I've never seen anything like this. Alister's on another level entirely!"
"Is this even fair? How do you compete with a guy who's basically a dragon lord?"
Alister spoke calmly, despite the fact he was a bit excited. "Darven, Cinder..."
He turned slightly to glance at the vast valley below them, filled with countless monsters
crawling and swarming.
"...I'm sure you both see the massive valley behind me."
"Yes, my lord," they both replied in perfect harmony.
"Good. We'll be wiping it clean of monsters. None of them should be left standing by the time
we're done."
As he spoke, his yellow eyes glowed with a faintly, gradually shifting into a reptilian form, reflecting the raw power he commanded.
"Understood," they responded.
Alister gave a final nod as he looked out over the valley. "Good. Now let's get this over with."
