Chapter 1065: Illusion Realm

"80 percent? Or 90 percent?"

Since Lurmer was asking about it, Ajax felt that the previous protector must have not gained 100 percent of acknowledgment from the grey dwarves.

However, he felt that he must have a lot of grey dwarves supporting him; otherwise, why would he leave his life for them?

"It's only 51 percent."

Rurbeak said the correct percentage with a dejected look on his face.

"What?"

Ajax was shocked as he didn't understand why it was so low.

"Yes, master. It was only 51 percent which was just enough to become the protector of this small grey dwarves' world."

Soon, Lurmer started explaining, "And the reason why the demon kings were able to enter this world was because of less acknowledgment from the grey dwarves who were dissatisfied with their previous protector who made them work like slaves too."

"He used to take all the weapons refined by us and sell them to other worlds and the demon kings who were lying in wait for the protective barrier around the world to weaken rushed at the moment it weakened."

Lurmer became a little angry as he explained everything that happened to the grey dwarves' world.

'Sigh... these grey dwarves are really stupid and easy to fool.'

Ajax could not help but sigh after hearing Lurmer's explanation.

The moment these grey dwarves saw a kind looking king realm expert, they made him their protector; however, with time, they started having trust issues with the protector which decreased the power of the protective barrier.

When Ajax thought about it, he was a little speechless; however, in the end, he concluded them as stupid.

However, when Ajax thought about how much the previous protector had exploited them, no matter what, the grey dwarves would lose their faith in the protector.

Moreover, because of the mistake of the previous protector, Ajax understood the difficulty of making all the grey dwarves acknowledge him as their protector is very high; however, he was not in a hurry to give up on the grey dwarves' world.

"Let the demon kings come here. I will show the entire grey dwarves how powerful I am."

Ajax wanted to show how powerful he was as a part of his plan and as for how to make them fully acknowledge him as their protector, he had other plans.

"Once I defeat the remaining four demon kings, I will take the three artifacts and announce myself as the protector. Let's see how many grey dwarves will accept me as their protector."

Ajax always liked challenges as he revealed a slight smile on his face before saying those words to the two dwarf followers.

"Don't worry, maser. We will try our best in convincing as many members as possible."

Lurmer and Rurbeak placed their short hands on their hearts as they said those words.

"I will rely on you then."

Ajax could totally use their help because it would be easier if a grey dwarf promotes him.

Even though all the grey dwarves could not see his fight with the demon kings, Ajax was not worried.

As long as he gains the three artifacts from the demon kings, it proves him as a qualified protector.

'Anyway, let's check the new mission and the bestial law stone.'

Soon, he put all those thoughts away and focused on the new mission and the bestial law stone.

'Ding,

Mission name:- Pure Protector

Requirement:- The host has to become a protector of this smaller world 'Grey dwarves' world' with 100 percent acknowledgment.

Mission reward:- One smaller world's world core.

'What? The reward  is a world core?'

Ajax was shocked to the core when he saw the mission reward and finally felt the pressure from the mission. 

Even though the mission was the same as what he had expected, the mission reward was completely out of his expectations.

With a single world core, his cultivation would be increased by a single minor realm, and to get a single world core, he had to conquer an entire world.

However, now the system was giving him a world core as a reward. So, he understood the mission's difficulty was not as easy as he thought it would.

'For this mission, I have to try my best.'

Even before he saw the reward, Ajax decided to become the protector of the world at any cost and now there was a huge reward for it. So, why would he leave the mission without giving his best?

To try his best, he needed to get the three artifacts, and to get those three artifacts, he had to wait for the demon kings who were yet to show up.

'System, show me the bestial law stone.

Other than waiting for the demon kings, Ajax could only waste some time by checking his pending things.

'Ding,

Item name:- Bestial law stone. 

Effect:- It helps a spirit beast to learn the bestial law stored inside it.   

Bestial law:- Illusion realm.

Note:- A bestial law stone can only be used by a spirit beast.   

'Oh. It is an illusion realm bestial law.'

Ajax was satisfied with the bestial law and already thought to whom he should give this bestial law stone.

'Ghost will definitely like this. I wonder what he is doing?'

Thinking about the four-eyed ghost fox, Ajax could not help but release a long sigh; however, he knew he could meet him soon.

After that, Ajax started finishing some minor works in the inner world before resting on the ground.

....

In the underground palace of the royal family, the inner section of the cursed wilderness, Zrochester province.

"Master, what should we do?  It's been nearly 45 days since we entered this province; however, there was not a single trace about the mutated spirit crane."

In a huge hall that was lit up with glowing stones, one of 10 middle-aged men asked the old man sitting in the center of the room.

"I know."

The old man didn't open his eyes as he casually nodded his head.

"So, what should we do now, master? Sitting here and doing nothing will only make the dragon master even more angry."

Another middle-aged man said to the old man in a respectful attitude.

"Also, all the young ones are bored after sitting in this underground palace for 45 days. Their hands are itching to do something."

Soon, one after another middle-aged men started saying their concern; however, everyone still maintained their respectful look in their eyes.

"Sigh"

Finally, the old man could not help but sigh because he was also tired of waiting for the mutated spirit crane and wasting everyone's time in this underground palace by doing nothing.

After entering the underground palace, they created various formations to sense the mutated spirit crane in the Zrochester province.

No matter where the mutated spirit crane was, they could see it; however, for some reason, they were unable to see the mutated spirit crane and continued to wait hoping the mutated spirit crane might appear.

"Let's wait for another 15 days before leaving this province. Inform this to your disciples."

After thinking for a moment, the old man replied to the middle-aged men around him.
