Chapter 330: Journey to the Dragon Island part-1

"Aunt Averil?" Iphi was surprised to hear the name of a person who managed to run away from their island without noticing anyone.

"Just in case I'm asking. You are talking about a greenish-silver dragon, right?"

"Yes." Wil nodded his head and then explained, "Averil's daughter adopted me as her brother. So, that makes her my foster mother in a sense. She's the one that granted me the bloodline of a dragon. Later, by luck, I had a fortuitous encounter to increase purity. But that's another story…

Anyway, you called her Aunt. That means we are also a family in a way. If not for that, I wouldn't act this patient towards you.

As for the imprisonment, you were summoned by an enemy in front of everyone. I had only two options. One is is kill you and the other is to save you by taking you as my prisoner."

*Ding! Favorability with Iphi Draconus increases by 20

Maybe, because she's a child, the little dragon girl easily believed the truth that he twisted to his convenience. Wil's dragon race effect also helped the situation.

Even though he succeeded in making her trust him, the result still turned out to be a failure.

"But, I don't know the way to Dragon Island." She said in a cute voice.

"What!" Wil was stumped upon her reply. "You don't know the way? Then, how are you supposed to return after doing your job?"

"I don't even know how I was summoned. I'm playing with my friends. All of a sudden, a mysterious seal appeared below me and the next thing I know, I'm standing on the battlefield, and then, I was in a dark prison cell." She spoke making a pitiful face as if she was being wronged.

However, Wil is someone who doesn't care about the feelings of an NPC made of data. He didn't feel an ounce of pity for her.

Instead, her explanation made Wil disappoint and let him have thoughts of killing it for equipment. Who knows, he might get lucky and get a piece of mythic-grade equipment.

Not to mention, he doesn't possess a mythic-grade pet scroll. So, he can't turn her into his battle companion. Using the skill of Beast taming on her is also useless as she's a mythic grade. It definitely won't work. So, she was no use to him.

Just when he was about to summon his bow, he heard her saying, "However, I heard from my mother that our home is hidden in one of the places where the north meets the south."

Wil looked at her curiously, "North meets the south? What does that mean?"

She shook her head innocently, "I don't know but I can sniff out fellow dragons if they are in a five hundred kilometer vicinity. Of course, the prerequisite is that they aren't hiding in their human form."

Wil stared at her and almost about to comment whether she was a dog or something. At the last second, he swallowed his words remembering her usefulness.

"Then, let's leave right away." Wil flapped his huge dragon wings and slowly flew into the air. However, to his surprise, the dragon girl just raised her head and stared at him silently while blinking her eyes.

"Hmm? What happened?" Wil asked her.

"I haven't gone through the awakening ceremony. So, I haven't sprouted wings, yet."

Wil fell silent, all of a sudden.

'Are you f**k**g kidding me… What kind of a mythic grade dragon can't even fly?' He roared inside his head in frustration feeling that Aria is trolling with him.

Wil transformed back to Angel form before descending before her.

Even though he is technically the same person, Iphi became uncomfortable standing before him.

She moved two steps back and showed the signs of a person in fear. Compared to his normal state, she felt the dragon transformation was friendlier. 

'Oh Boy… this little girl is so troublesome. Guess I have no choice…' Taking a deep breath, Wil suddenly transformed into the default state.

"Eh?" Iphi's eyes widened in surprise as she saw a never seen before weird humanoid creature with a pale face, long ears, silver demon horns, red dragon scales on its left arm and right leg, along with a dragon tail. It has a white angelic wing and a reddish demonic wing.

Due to the presence of Dragon Bloodline in the Neo-Hybrid form, Iphi also felt the same kind of familiarity that she found in his dragon transformation.

With his face unrecognizable, Wil didn't feel the need to put over a blank mask.

However, to cover his identity, just in case, instead of becoming another mysterious expert like Lupin, he simply changed his profession to Seer. Now, his name is displayed as Williard Ravens, instead.

With a thought in his mind, he summoned the nimbus cloud before her and asked her to mount on it.

Trusting him, she jumped on the cloud and bounced as a result. Sitting on the cloud, she squeezed it as she became curious. Her eyes lit up immediately. "Wah! It's so squishy."

*Ding! Favorability with Iphi Draconus increased by 5.

While controlling the nimbus cloud, Wil flapped his wings and flew upwards to 3000-meter altitude to make sure no one spots them until they reach the ocean.

After all, it is well known to the world that a person named Lupin had a cloud. He doesn't want to link himself to Lupin as he intends to use that name in the future for a lot of things.

Three days passed away in a blink of an eye;

Most of the kingdoms are still in war. The expelled people spread over to different kingdoms now that the system gave a choice to them. 

The world forums are in a huge fire with everyone joined a campaign with the hashtag, devil king Time Traveler, started by some random teenager for fun.

Tens of thousands of messages were sent to the company, requesting to ban him from the game. It gave Summersoft's staff quite a headache.

As most of the players from the other kingdoms that finished their war are too free, they too joined the campaign. More than a hundred thousand players united against Wil, threatening to dare expel them too.

Most of this bunch are from the other kingdoms and have nothing to fear Wil.

In response, the technical experts of the Vulture guild got busy, noting down the names and their affiliation.

At the same time, his popularity also grew tremendously. An unofficial fan club has been opened by some random player from Llyne kingdom.

However, she didn't expect the members of the club will grow to fifty thousand within a day. The club continued to increase too.

With Wil becoming the most followed person and at the same time most hated person in the game, he even made it to the front page of E-sports magazines. 

Coming to the situation of expelled guilds, the smaller guilds disappeared while the medium-level guilds not only managed to stay alive but also gained a considerable number of new members.

As for Dreamwalkers, as they already started their preparations, the moment Llyne city has fallen, they were able to settle down at the kingdom of Zidor in the southern Zalfari continent where there are no huge powers.

Their leader, Dream realized that now Time Traveler is too powerful. Putting his pride aside, he decided to better to run away to a farther place. At the same time, he swore that he will take his revenge.

That's the reason he chose Zidor as a place to settle where for some unknown reason, a system announcement has been made about blacklisting Wil from the kingdom.

Xynnar Ocean, Island of Olnarius;

"Your grace, these are the records…" An old man respectfully handed him some papers that looked very old.

Wil looked at them curiously. It contained images of humanoid dragons and full ones. 

The records explained the dragons' settlement on this island for a period of five years before they set off to their destination. In these five years, some of the adult dragons married humans of this tribe and took their spouses along with them while leaving.

The most catching information is of the leader of this migrant group, a white dragon. Iphi said that it might be an elder dragon.

For the past three days, while flying above the ocean, Wil was looking for the traces of Dragons within the free islands.

This is the seventh island that he found that has a connection with the dragons in their history.

Wil then opened the map and drew an imaginary line from the starting island of Kastal to this island of Olnarius.

It formed a straight line. A sudden idea emerged in his mind and he continued to draw the line. "This…" his eyes widened in surprise.
