Chapter 564: Rich Rewards

As the dark dragon was slain, pleasing text appeared once again in Luoning's field of vision:

【"King of Slaughter" achievement reached: Attribute Point +60,000, Energy Essence +120,000】

Luoning had completed the King of Slaughter achievement for killing a Legendary-level extraordinary unit after slaying Yanyi, while slaying the avatar of Phoenix had completed the Sage-level tier.

He had not had time to examine the achievement details before, but now he knew that the rewards for this tier were unexpectedly generous!

Sixty thousand Attribute Points, one hundred and twenty thousand Energy Essence; this was an unprecedented height.

He really ought to thank Yanyi for bringing Phoenix's avatar over, allowing his strength to advance further.

"Although these sixty thousand Attribute Points are not enough to let me step into the Great Sage realm, the over one hundred and eighty thousand Energy Essence accumulated now can allow me to create a Legendary dragon, or I could improve Ruidar's aptitude to let him become a Sage."

Both of these approaches were actually viable.

A Legendary-level dragon possessed special abilities, and its strength was in no way inferior to a Sage.

However, if Luoning promoted Ruidar to a Sage, the other would gain new abilities that Luoning could learn and master to improve his own combat power.

Luoning looked at the Attribute Panel.

Becoming King next would grant him sixty thousand Energy Essence, and with the population of Wubei City about to exceed five hundred thousand, there would be another one hundred thousand Energy Essence.

"Perhaps I can let Kaierluosi and Ruidar advance at the same time."

The achievement rewards for the final few tiers were all very generous, especially the last tier of 【King of Slaughter】; slaying a Great Sage could bring him a full two hundred thousand Attribute Points!

If he could complete this achievement, the four hundred thousand Energy Essence would be enough to promote both Maiken and Aierlong to the Sage level.

However, there were no such enemies left on the Aoerlante Continent.

To complete the final tier of King of Slaughter, Luoning would inevitably have to go to the Xinyue Continent.

Even if he went to the Xinyue Continent, there were only a few Great Sages there.

According to Suofeiya's introduction, among the hostile forces, it seemed only Phoenix possessed the strength of a Great Sage.

It looked like Luoning was destined to have a contest with the other's true form.

"Luoning, are you alright?"

Suofeiya and the others walked forward.

This battle had turned the vast Wangong into ruins; although the fighting had ceased, the chaotic Elemental Power still made them feel a tremor in their hearts.

Luoning coated his body with Mental Power, controlling the dust to fly away, shaking off the disheveled appearance left by hitting the ground several times.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Although the initial clash had caused his internal organs to feel a dull, sharp pain, he was able to suppress it and was recovering quickly.

"Luoning, congratulations, you actually became a Sage!"

Suofeiya's eyes sparkled with worship, "You are the most powerful and the youngest Sage I have ever seen!"

Luoning laughed, "You aren't bad either, a thirty-year-old Archmage."

Suofeiya was indeed not bad, but compared to Luoning, she did not know if she could cross the two realms she lacked even in thirty years.

"How is the main battlefield?" Luoning asked.

Aierlong replied: "Basically no pressure; when we left, Maiken and Lord Lulansi were already doing the cleanup work."

"Very good!"

Luoning turned to look down at the ruins of the Ten Thousand Palaces at his feet: "After this battle, the Tricia Kingdom has been completely eradicated by us. The demon god organization Holy Storm from the New Moon Continent might have some fish that slipped through the net, but without Yanyi, their scale will not expand."

While speaking, the Flame Emblem buried in the dust was controlled by Luoning to land in his hand.

This emblem already had cracks at this moment; it was clearly useless.

He squeezed it hard, and it turned into powder.

"Hameng, you know the list of those who slipped through the net; leave this matter to you and Maiken to handle."

Hameng immediately accepted the order, "Leave it to me!"

Ruidar then said: "My Lord, according to the previous agreement, after we take Dragon City, you can be crowned King."

Everyone's spirits lifted, and they could not help but show expectant expressions.

Although for Luoning, with his strength, even if he did not claim the title of King, he was still a king who could not be ignored on this continent.

However, the coronation was one of the goals of their actions over the past few years, and being able to complete this goal was also quite good.

What's more, they believed that if this continent were under Luoning's leadership, it would absolutely radiate new vitality.

The corners of Luoning's mouth curled up, revealing a faint smile.

"Aierlong, go notify Landeer and the others to formally push forward the coronation process according to the previously set procedure."

Aierlong nodded, but then frowned: "My Lord, we previously prepared to hold the coronation ceremony at the Dragon City Wangong, but now that the Kingdom is destroyed, where should your Wangong be set?"

He paused, then added: "How about we go to the Jinyu Palace?"

Although Wubei City had also built a castle, its level of luxury was not even as good as Wushan Castle; using it as a Wangong seemed slightly shabby.

As for the Jinyu Palace...

Luoning shook his head, "The Jinyu Palace belongs to the Auduin Royal Family; I am not yet prepared to inherit the territory of the Auduin Kingdom, so it is not appropriate to be crowned there."

He thought for a moment and said: "Let's set it at Miwu Castle; that is where I became a Count, so it is more appropriate to use it for the coronation as King."

Miwu Castle was the castle of Count Wulaer, and its level of magnificence was comparable to Moonlight Castle, so it was quite appropriate to use for the coronation.

Besides that, the location of Miwu Castle was roughly in the center of the Aoerlante Continent; with Luoning setting the Wangong here, it would be more convenient to communicate between the north and south in the future.

Luoning looked at Ruidar: "Although the main war is over, there are still many noble territories in the Telixiya Kingdom that we have not occupied; I still need you to lead the army to continue the advance."

Whether these nobles surrendered or resisted, they would eventually lose their power and status.

If they could still submit, Luoning would give them a chance to start over;

If they did not want to submit and serve him, then they could be ordinary Free Citizens.

The overall situation was settled, and Luoning did not want to create slaughter for no reason.

As Ruidar and the others left one after another, only Luoning, Suofeiya, and Kaierluosi remained in the air.

"Luoning, I wonder when you plan to go to the Xinyue Continent?"

Suofeiya asked, "With a Sage's assistance, the scales of victory have already tilted in our favor!"

Luoning pondered slightly; he certainly had to go to the Xinyue Continent, but now was not yet the time.

"I stepped into the Storm Sea when I became a Sage, and the unique environment there has little effect on me. If you and Hameng and the others want to return to Dawn City sooner, I can send you there."

He paused for a moment and continued: "However, as for myself, I should still be staying here for Along time. After all, as you have seen, many things here have not completely ended, and my reform plan also needs to continue to be implemented."

Suofeiya pondered and nodded slightly; she naturally understood this point.

"Since that is the case, we will not return early either, and will help you handle the matters here."

She made a decision: "If we not only have a Sage, but also a powerful army and navy, the impact on the landscape of the Xinyue Continent will be even greater!"

Luoning reached out his hand and said solemnly: "Then for the Magic aspect, I will need you to continue to take the lead, help me cultivate more talent, and produce more Magic Energy machines."

Suofeiya reached out and shook his hand; she blinked her eyes and said: "I am happy to serve you, respected His Majesty the King, and great Sage!"

Luoning could not help but laugh. (End of chapter)
