Chapter 20 : Dragon's Roar
Axton saw the information about recruiting him, along with the large sum of money each of the guilds were willing to pay and yet, he ignored the offers.
Why would he be someone else's lackey when he can be a boss for himself alone?
On top of that, he had a unique bonus and an SSS rank talent that no other player possessed, only that the rest of the world didn't know yet.
Some of the guilds even offered him high power positions in real life.
Some promised him a celebrity lifestyle — money, luxury and women.
Axton could only chuckle and shake his head. "Now they want to give me opportunities, because I'm popular…"
He thought back to when the world's nepotism was dealing with him and how, despite being qualified for different jobs, he somehow ends up losing every single one to other people.
The way Axton saw it, the fact that everyone wanted him meant that he probably had more potential that he thinks.
Axton was not planning on letting another cease him just like that.
"Status."
He was ready to distribute the free stat points that he has.
…
[Status]
Name : Khan
Class : Warrior
Level : 6
Attack : 86
Defense : 85
Agility : 78
HP : 130/130
Mana : 60/60
…
Being a warrior, Axton mostly made sure to focus on his attack and defense because of the nature of his class.
This time around, he decided to boost his agility a bit more to match.
Given that he was above other players, he can now relax and gradually build his avatar to fit any situation.
He also could not rely on the added attributes of his beast, the Terra Dragonet, since it was a type of beast that was majorly defense based.
Axton scratched his forehead.
"I need to level up my skills and also my beast."
He stood up and stared down at the river where he had fought the Verdant Rock Serpent to acquire his beast egg.
There was nothing he could do there any longer.
The rock turtles had retreated into the river and he could risk it taking the battle to their home turf.
*Roar*
Sensing its master's uneasiness and worry, the little dragon roared fiercely.
Despite the fact that it was just a day old, the dragon generated an aura from its roar that would be worrying to other beasts.
Being the dragon's master, Axton was unfazed by such terrifying energy but as the roar spread through a distance of about one kilometer, different monsters fled and sought shelter for their own safety.
However, for the group of rock turtles who still loitered at the bank of the river, there were hit with the draconic aura that left them stunned and frozen.
…
[Dragon's Roar]
Rank : 5-star (Lv. 1)
Description : This skill generates a terrifying roar imbued with draconic mana. Beasts that are ranked lower than the Terra Dragonet will be confused and scared, avoiding the dragon for their safety. The same does not apply to beasts of the same rank or stronger. (Cool down : 10 minutes)
Note : Duration depends on level differences between beast and target. Increase in skill level causes an increase in duration and range of roar.
Limits : Consumes 25 mana points.
…
[Dragon's Roar] was a 5-star skill!
Axton almost fainted on the spot.
A 5-star skill that came with a threatening level of dominance over other creatures, with the only disadvantage being the amount of mana it consumed and the long time to cool down.

"We must keep this Khan person in our ranks no matter what!" a voice blared. "Do you get that!"
"Yes, Mr. President!"
"I don't care what you do or how you do it. Even if you want him to make his own request, that is fine. Just win him over."
The news of Axton's great doings had reached the ears for the ruling government and military agencies who were monitoring the events of New Eden.
Regardless of his harsh voice, which he did only to emphasize the need for Axton to join them, the president was pleased that his country was responsible for creating a player like Axton.
To do this, they would have to go through the guild formed by the government and these security agencies — Dragon Claw.
They had looked into the character of "Khan" and found out that he was spawned in the Novice Village #666.
The two world announcements that Axton triggered had triggered an endless chain reaction that was massive both in the world of New Eden and the real world.
Surprisingly enough, this effect was even with his beast hidden from the world.
If he had revealed that he had a dragon as his beast, he might have turned the world upside down.
******
[Dragon's Roar]
This was an incredible skill.
However, the issue Axton faced was its short time of effect.
The skill was only level 1 and also was the caster, so it was not surprising that it lasted for such a short time.
[Time limit : 3 seconds]
*Shing*
Axton knew that if he decided to run towards the dazzled rock turtles, he would run out of time.
Moreover, this was a perfect situation to test his new weapon.
Axton immediately equipped his Aura Sword..
[Aura Sword Summon]
Instantly, three large aura swords that stretched almost fifty metres in length appeared and attacked the rock turtles with immense power.
-60 HP!
-60 HP!
-60 HP!
Rock turtles dropped like flies because of the devastating impact of the Aura Sword Summon skill.
Being that he greatly outmatched the rock turtles, Axton did not receive any experience points from slaying them.
However…
*Ding*
[You have received the following rewards]
[Three small-sized 5-star potions]
[Three copper coins]
With critical hit bonus applied, the items rose to three medium sized tonics and three copper coins, which was equivalent to three silver coins.
The size of healing potions determines how quickly they restore a player's HP. The larger the potion, the better.
Axton was yet to experience any damage but that did not mean that he would discard the healing potions because of that.
