Chapter 18

When Nakimo woke up he found himself laying on the floor. His clothes were battered and torn. And next to him was the corpse of the Ancient Dragon Cessation.

He was both shocked and confused.

He took a look at his status screen.

My skills are all gone!… Hmm… My level is also low… Shit… It must be this ripper skill…My equipment is also gone.

Wait… I have two new unique skills? That dragon gave me his unique skill…Is that even possible? No… The fact that I am seeing it makes it possible.

MP Burst… In a world where mana is everything… having that unique skill will prove useful.

Nakimo made his way to the dungeon core after saying a silent prayer to the dead dragon.

He marveled at the giant crystal that stood there… Before stretching his hand and touching it.

< Query: Take Control of Dungeon Core? Yes / NO? >

< Alert: Dungeon Core acquired >

< Menu : Floor Teleportation : Entrance Teleportation : Mana Transfer : Change Ownership >

Mana Transfer?

< Alert: Mana Transfer Activated >

< MP: 750000 / 750000 >

Alright… I can recharge my MP, but what about my HP?

He thought that before looking at the dead dragon.

He gave me a unique skill… No way can I eat him… It wouldn't feel right… Maybe if I can go hunting on the upper floors instead…

Nakimo formulated his plans. He would hunt on the upper floor and recover his HP. He would also use this chance to recover the skills he had lost and expand his mana capacity.

Once he felt that he was ready, he would return to the surface.

I won't rest until I have the entire Helena kingdom on its knees.

"How are you doing today? Sister"

"Sofia… What are you doing? you fool…"

"Still hot-tempered as ever."

"You do realize that Randall is using you. You can't trust him."

"How many times do I have to tell you that this plan is mine? Are you deaf? Or you simply can't accept that I outsmarted you and mother?"

"Do you really think you outsmarted mother?"

"I have to admit her lack of action after news of your death was alarming until I realized the reason." She said with a smile. "She probably believes you are still alive. Her agents have been active throughout the castle town. She is probably looking for you."

"Then let me go… You can't beat mother…"

"That is where you are wrong big sister."

"What do you mean?"

"You will see soon enough. This kingdom and the whole world will witness my power."

Power? What is she talking about? Susan thought.

It was the day of the goddess games. The heroes were gathered in the town square.

The king and the people of the city had all assembled to cheer them on as they prepared to do battle for humanity.

"I know the last few weeks have been hard on everyone. We lost a light that shined over our great kingdom. My daughter Susan Von Helena was taken from us by the hand of the hero of that demon goddess. As a father, I cannot express the sadness that I have felt in my heart."

Sofia listened to her father's speech with an irritated look on her face.

"You are making an irritated look princess," Randall whispered to her.

"Humph… Like I care. Soon this farce will be over. Where is the staff?"

"As instructed I have given your father a fake staff while the real one is here."

"It looks like an ordinary walking stick."

"It is illusion magic. Once you activate the staff, it will transform into the original."

"Good… What of my sister."

"She too is in position."

"Excellent. You have done well."

"And my reward?"

"Will be paid in full…"

"You have my gratitude…"

"Looks like my father is getting to the good part. Let us take our positions."

"As you command… My Queen."

"What are you doing?" Selma asked Rania

"I just want the whole world to join in the entertainment before the games begin. Wouldn't we be selfish goddesses if we didn't do this?"

"You are the game master this time round, so I will refrain form saying anything."

Delphi simply looked on as Rania used her powers to show images of what was happening in the Helena kingdom across the world.
