As an elder among tree monsters, it's not known for its strength. However, its long years have granted it deep understanding of magic secrets, allowing it to easily bless others.
The Crimson Mark Tree Monster can bestow upon others the Crown of Embers effect for one hour daily. This effect adds magical damage to attacks that's hard to defend against, while also reducing the agility of the target.
Defeating and capturing its heart grants the Crown of Embers effect for ten days directly!
"The Crown of Embers effect is quite powerful. It can trouble even Logia users or heavily defended foes!"
"But, spending one billion wealth points on an S-level lottery and receiving a red buff, and then being congratulated? It feels like mockery from the system, but I have no proof..."
Duke looked at the red buff he got, a faint twitch at the corners of his mouth. Although the red and blue buffs are beneficial, they currently don't affect Duke much since his current foes don't require their boosts.
Duke summoned the Crimson Mark Tree Monster and placed it temporarily with the blue magic pattern statue outside his castle. Then he washed his hands before trying his luck again with the lottery.
"System, another S-level lottery!"
[After spending one billion wealth points, Host's remaining wealth is one billion thirty-two million!

"The Hand of Noxus?"
"Hahaha, indeed, that's the standard prize for an S-level lottery!"
"Well, the Genovese family is quite lucky," Duke remarked.
"Your next decision," he whispered, before sacrificing a wave of luck to the Monkey D family and pressing the lottery button again.
[After spending one billion wealth points, Host's remaining wealth is 32 million.

As the Freljord, Gragas aims to create the perfect ale. However, his frequent drunkenness leads to impulsive actions, sometimes not even knowing what he's brewing!
His brews are rare delicacies but can also be dangerously potent.
"Except for the poor Gambino family, the rest have quite good luck," Duke noted with satisfaction, summoning both the wine barrel and Darius.
"Care for a drink?"
Gragas, with his belly and drunken demeanor, raised his glass to Duke and offered a toast. Meanwhile, Darius leaned on his sharp ax, knelt down, and spoke in a deep voice to Duke,
"I'll lead you to countless victories,"
"Until we conquer the entire world!"
For Darius, war was deeply ingrained in his very being.
The wine in Gragas' cup emitted a delightful aroma, a truly rare find in the world of spirits.
However, Duke took the glass without taking a sip. Instead, he helped Darius up and presented the wine to him.
"This world isn't so simple,"
"But I eagerly await the day you conquer it for me!"
Duke smiled at the prospect.
Having experienced countless battles, Darius was undeniably one of the world's finest commanders.
Although two heroes were summoned in one go, Duke didn't immediately assign tasks to Barrel and Darius.
It made more sense to train and upgrade them first, before unlocking their full potential.
Wan Hao was eager for combat every day.
Darius embarked on rigorous training daily,
Sea animal pirates continued his drinking, often getting into brawls with Haki due to his inebriated state.
Duke didn't mind Gragas' drinking habits, especially when he learned that Gragas held the recipes for numerous fine wines.
This discovery secretly delighted Duke.
Perhaps establishing a brewery under the Valoran family and using wine barrels to brew and sell exceptional wines would be a lucrative venture?
After all, the allure of sauce-flavored technology had proven unstoppable in previous endeavors.
In a world teeming with revelers, the potential for such a venture was immense.
Duke instructed the wine barrel to begin documenting the painstakingly researched wine recipes.
Meanwhile, in the Bonanno family's castle,
Upon hearing news of the Gambino family's demise, Godfather Bonanno brimmed with excitement.
"The Valoran family believes that by defeating the Gambino family, they can rule the West Blue's underworld?"
"No, once the Gambino family falls, Valoran will follow suit!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhuoran's, it's time for us to act!"
Beside Godfather Bonano and a key figure in the Happo Navy, wore a serious expression.
He growled, "Steel Fist!"
Zhuoran's fist darkened as he struck Godfather Bonanno with a heavy blow.
A loud bang shattered the strange shadow behind Godfather Bonano, along with numerous walls.
In the shadows beneath Zhuoran's feet, a sharp shuriken pierced Godfather Bonanno's throat, leaving him horrified.
"No one can halt Valoran's ascension,"
"The ignorant are fated to fail!"
From the shadows behind Zhuoran emerged Lao.G's figure.
Someone asked, when would the Valoran family unify the West Blue's underground?
Duke pondered, "Today!"
