Valemar’s brows furrowed the mont he heard Cassian’s explanation. He already knew where the entire commotion began as the Steelheart’s ruckus in Lycranor City had started from Jas’s very first visit and the killing of the Old Duke.
Cassian added after noticing that Valemar had been silent for a mont, knowing what the other party was thinking.
"You don’t have to worry. Jas wants to go there because he’s searching for sothing. Elara only wants to play with him. In truth, the two of them are just enjoying a bit of free ti before the recruitnt begins."
Valemar exhaled slowly. "Alright. I’ll trust your word. But don’t forget this—just because they’re your children doesn’t an I’ll treat them differently. If they cause trouble, I won’t give them special treatnt."
"Relax, they won’t act unless soone forces their hand." Cassian replied lightly, then continued with a serious tone. "Still... Grand Duke Valemar, I’m entrusting them to you. If anything happens to them, I genuinely don’t know what I might do."
"Cassian. Are you warning ?" Valemar said with a hint of anger.
"That’s not what I ant, I’m simply stating the truth. Lycranor is your territory. Everything that happens there is under your control." Cassian replied dryly.
"You’re thinking too much, Cassian. I’m not interested in any of these, and you can trust my words on that." Valemar responded and instantly added as he smiled faintly, imagining that Cassian was standing in front of him. "Besides, do you really have the confidence to say such things to ?"
"Why don’t you try it yourself?" Cassian chuckled lightly.
Valemar burst into laughter. "Very well! When we both have free ti, let’s spar. My hands have been itching for sothing exciting."
"Sounds good to ."
...
Cassian glanced at Jas and reminded him. "Be careful out there. If anything feels off, tell imdiately."
Jas smiled faintly. "I know, don’t worry."
"That’s good." Cassian reached out and patted his son’s head, smiling warmly. "You can go now."
"I’ll pick up Elara myself, as it’s in the sa direction from here." Jas said before walking toward the door.
As Jas opened the door, Cassian added. "Even though I’ve warned him, it’s best not to trust anyone completely. Always stay vigilant."
"Understood." Jas nodded and left the office.
Subsequently, Jas and Nyxrael headed back but brought another house because Jas wanted to use this opportunity to use the Special Rank Summoning Card on his way back ho.
An hour later, when they reached halfway, Jas found a quiet place in the middle of a forest.
"System, use the Special Rank Summoning Card!" Jas ordered.
Ten purple cards with intricate patterns appeared suddenly, floating in front of him.
Without further ado, Jas instantly scanned the options of knights and magicians that were available this ti.
Looking at the options that appeared before him, Jas was dissatisfied because there was no improvent in terms of strength. aning that even if Jas could summon soone at the Transcendent Rank, they would die within a year.
Even if he were to summon soone at the Legendary Rank, their potentials had reached their limits, and it would take so effort to increase their potentials.
However, just as Jas was disappointed with these options, he heard a notification from the system that surprised him.
[Ding! Do you want to choose another way of using the Special Rank Summoning Card?]
"What do you an by that?" Jas raised an eyebrow, clearly feeling interested that there was another option for him to use the Special Rank Summoning Card.
[Ding!]
[By combining all ten cards into one, you can gamble the outco. You may summon soone as weak as a Silver Rank or as powerful as a Transcendent Rank. However, one thing is guaranteed: every summon through this thod will possess sothing special.]
After listening to the system’s explanation, Jas didn’t hesitate and instantly chose to do it in this way.
He thought that there was no point for him to summon those at the Epic Rank and lower since there was already Nyxrael. So, he might as well gamble it and live with the motto of YOLO.
"System, I’ll choose to gamble on it." Jas chuckled.
The ten purple cards imdiately shone brightly and moved, stacking themselves before combining into one card.
The intricate runes etched upon its surface shimred brighter than he had seen when he summoned Nyxrael.
It then distanced itself, hovering a few ters away from Jas, and expanded rapidly until it stretched at a fast speed and reached 2 ters tall.
The card twisted upon itself and unraveled into a spatial gate. This ti, the surface spilled a violent raging of crimson red flas.
The air in the surroundings grew heavy, and Jas felt that the oppressive power coming out of the spatial gate was definitely stronger compared to when he summoned Nyxrael.
A mont later, from within the spatial gate, a slender figure erged—Ignis, the Draconic Sword Executioner (Peak Legendary Rank).
The figure stepped out of the spatial gate, her presence scorching the air itself.
She wore a flowing crimson dress that rippled like living flas, the fabric marked with faint ember-like patterns that glowed with every breath she took. Golden chains wrapped around her waist and body, forming an imposing yet vicious silhouette befitting her dragon bloodline.
Her long, white hair was flowing wildly behind her, tied back with a dark ornant that glead beneath the firelight. Two sharp, slightly curved horns protruded from her head, making her unmistakably from the dragon race. Her red eyes glowed strong enough to rival the inferno raging behind her.
Gripped tightly in her right hand was a blazing sword with fiery energy crawling along its edge like serpents of flas.
As soon as she stepped out of the spatial gate, the gate instantly disappeared together with the oppressive force.
The mont Ignis saw Jas, she directly kneeled on one knee while putting her right hand in between her plump chest.
"My Lord."
Jas smiled satisfiedly, as he had never expected to pull a jackpot. Such a beauty yet possessed an extrely strong combat power, he definitely wouldn’t be unhappy even if his next few pulls on the daily sign-in rewards were trash.
"Ignis, welco to the family, and don’t be too polite with from now on." Jas waved his hand casually as he added. "You’re the sa age as I am anyway."
"Thank you... I’ll keep that in mind, My Lord." Ignis stood up gracefully and smiled at Jas.
Cough!
Jas gestured between the two people. "Ignis, this is Nyxrael. Nyx, this is Ignis."
"Get along well since you two are going to see each other every day from now on." Jas said with a smile.
"Understood, My Lord." Nyxrael and Ignis responded in unison.
"Good, let’s continue our journey right away." Jas nodded and got on his horse.
While on the way back ho, Jas asked Ignis curiously. "So, exactly how strong are you?"
"How strong?" Ignis raised an eyebrow, seemingly interested in the topic, and replied with a bitter smile. "Honestly I’m not completely sure myself. But within the younger generation of the dragon clan—if I go all out, I’m one of the strongest."
