"Ouch!"

He originally planned to either use his dragon might to intimidate the humans and force them to hand over their prey, or to reveal the name of Kavismas and force them to pay the demonic bear as "protection money".

But to his utter surprise, when he simply gave his name, the leading young knight actually blurted out "Great Master."

"So the legendary scene of bowing down in worship really happens?"

Poseidon's vertical pupils narrowed slightly, and his dragon head slowly lowered, his sharp gaze sweeping over Karen's entire body inch by inch.

The light silver armor was polished to a gleaming shine, and the hand holding the longsword was steady and powerful, clearly showing the marks of years of training and battle experience.

Judging from the aura, the life energy is between that of an intermediate and advanced professional, indicating a strong talent.

He slightly raised his claws, and the aura of the Forest Deterrencer quietly spread out, tentatively sweeping over the youth's limbs and bones.

Many knights around her fell, and Karen's body trembled almost imperceptibly, but she straightened her back without bending her knees in the slightest.

"Interesting." Pu Se glanced at the tasks on the panel, chuckled softly, and breathed on Karen's head.

"Weak human, I like blue eyes. Since you are willing to be my servant, I can grant you some of my favors."

Puse's voice was deep: "I greatly admire courageous and powerful humans, and more importantly, you recognize me and respect me."

"Now, I'm giving you a choice."

"Become my servant, and I will bestow upon you the gift of dragon blood, helping you break through the barriers of high-level professionals, and granting you power that no one dares to underestimate in this land of starlight."

The boy raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing that the blue dragon's power was so great.

"Great Blue Dragon, can this power grant my wish?"

Puse grinned wickedly, at least in his mind's eye.

"Oh? What is your wish?"

"I want to keep winning." Karen suddenly looked up, her eyes fixed intently on the blue dragon in front of her.

"I don't want to see my people displaced by defeat again, I don't want to see my comrades fall under the claws of monsters again, and I don't want to be helpless in the face of powerful enemies again."

"I will win every battle and crush every obstacle in my path!"

Puser laughed heartily: "Even a god would probably find your wish a headache, but I, Puser, can indeed fulfill your request."

"You think my blessings are based on cheap dragon blood enhancements?"

"I can grant you the [Fairy Miracle], which will make your wish come true."

"If what you want is 'constant victory,' then your burning desire will transform into a 'miracle creation' to help you fulfill your wish."

Karen frowned, his blue eyes filled with confusion. He leaned forward slightly and asked cautiously.

"A fairy's miracle? A miraculous creation? What is that?"

From the few words Puse spoke, this young man of noble birth clearly did not yet understand the specific function of this ability.

The knights behind him also raised their heads, their eyes filled with confusion and curiosity, and watched silently as the dragon and man confronted each other in the forest.

"I thought I had explained it clearly enough." The arrogant blue dragon had already explained it once.

Just because this human doesn't understand doesn't mean he didn't explain it clearly.

Rather, it's because this human is too stupid.

"I will not offer any further explanations. I will only give you one chance to choose: to accept my gift or to leave."

"You weak humans! Make your choice!"

Want to gamble?

Karen didn't know.

The boy closed his eyes and pondered, his mind replaying those painful memories.

The unshakeable knights of the Crimson Empire, the vampires who flashed by in the night, the Conrad who betrayed Elijah during the war, and the black dragon that suddenly attacked Elijah during the war.

During his days of displacement, he witnessed too many of his companions fall to the claws of monsters, too many powerful enemies, and the despair in everyone's eyes.

He longed for victory, longed to protect the Levi people, and longed to never again experience the feeling of helplessness.

Whether it's cheap dragon blood enhancement or the elusive fairy miracle, it doesn't matter.

As long as we can grasp that sliver of hope to become stronger, as long as we can win, what's wrong with taking a gamble?

Karen suddenly raised her head, looked directly into the blue dragon's eyes without fear, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"I accept this gift."

"If you're willing to help me fulfill my wish, I can become your servant, your attendant, and do anything for you!"

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Puse's vertical pupils. He slowly raised his claw, made a cut in his palm, and bestowed upon Karen the Blue Dragon his dragon blood.

"Then from this day forward, you shall be the apostle of 'Ultimate Darkness' Ptthed Androgon Malygos, and carry out my will in the Starshine."

Warm dragon blood dripped onto Karen's brow, instantly transforming into a cool blue line that rapidly traveled through her veins and throughout her body.

The force was far more turbulent than he had imagined, like a small, icy blue snake surging and crawling within his body, its passage causing his bones to crack and pop slightly.

The muscle fibers were forcibly torn and then reassembled, and the shackles that were originally stuck on the barrier of advanced professionals were shattered inch by inch under the impact of this force.

Karen grunted, the veins on his hand gripping the longsword bulging, and the air around him suddenly became turbulent. The fallen leaves in the forest were swept up by an invisible force and swirled wildly around him.

He could clearly feel the life energy within his body surging wildly.

His originally blue eyes became even deeper, and his gaze carried a subtle air of authority.

A very faint silver-blue scale pattern appeared on his forehead, almost imperceptible unless you looked closely.

The slightly messy brown hair also had a few strands of dark blue showing through it, and as for the changes under the clothes, no one could notice them because they were hidden by the thick armor.

The previously obscure and difficult-to-understand secrets of swordsmanship have now become crystal clear. The flaws in every move and the point of force in every swing are clearly visible in my mind.

Life energy has reached level seven.

Advanced Professional Knight!

But that's still far from enough.

Too lazy to remind Karen again, Pusser had a sudden thought and lightly tapped the [Fairy Miracle] option on the panel to add it to the Apostle's options.

The task prompt on the panel jumped instantly, and the progress bar for "Recruiting Relatives and Minions" was completely full, with a new line of text appearing.

[You have received the reward: Shadow Pact]

[Shadow Pact: After the contracted party dies, you can choose to perfectly inherit three of the contracted party's talents or class skills. The contracted party cannot harm you. If they go against your will, you can add a curse under the witness of the pact. This skill only works on contracted apostles.]

"Is there an unexpected surprise?"

"Very good, let's use him to test how to share talents."

To Lanlong's surprise, his panel showed two apostles.

The first apostle was Bruce the dog-headed.

Despite not bestowing any talent upon Bruce, he still firmly holds the number one position.

After copying the [Fairy Miracle], Puse bypassed Bruce and gifted it to the boy who had just pledged allegiance to him.

After performing the actions, Puse's eyes lingered on [Forest Deterrence], [Life Affinity], [Dragon Claw Enhancement], and [Fall Asleep].

"If I bestow two talents, then when this human dies, do I reclaim six talents?"

Try it and you'll die!

Puser then added the "Forest Deterrence" talent to Karen, which increases her stats, defense, and prestige by 30%, making her an overpowered talent.

There was no activity on the panel.

"Damn it, if we can't get back those six talents or skills, wouldn't that be a huge loss!"

Before Puse's mutterings had faded, a dazzling golden light suddenly shone through the forest.

The light emanated from the longsword Karen gripped tightly; the once mottled blade lost all its rust and transformed into a clear gold.

The hilt is wrapped with silver vine patterns, the sword handle is dark blue, and the scabbard is adorned with star stones, sprinkling tiny specks of light.

A new line of text quietly appeared on the panel.

[Miracle Creation - Excalibur: Bound to Apostle Karen. The stronger the wielder's fighting spirit, the greater the blade's power. Against enemies lower than the wielder's level, sword skill power is increased by 50%. Against enemies higher than the wielder's level, it ignores 30% of the enemy's defense. It deals 20% additional true damage to evil-faction creatures... In dire situations, it can trigger the "Ultimate Strike" effect.]

It seems like something extraordinary has been born.
