?"What? A dragon?"

"There is another dragon in this place?!"

"Hey, look! That dragon is not alone. It already has five subordinates."

"Elf, cat, and fox; it already has underlings from three races."

"Does that dragon want to make us his underlings too?"

"Maybe."

"But in my eyes, it doesn't seem like he wants to make us his underlings."

"Then don't tell me…"

All the magical beasts were shocked when they saw Ace.

Even though they were not the king of the Framingburns forest, they knew that there were no dragons except for Dezmavas, who appeared a few months ago.

"Run! Leave this place now!" The 3-star elephant wanted to leave that place immediately because his instinct told him to run away from Ace, or else he would regret it.

"I also don't want to stay in this place anymore."

"Me too."

"I don't want to die."

They ran away in fear after finding out the one who provoked them.

However, running away from Ace was not easy, especially when they were much slower than him.

For this reason, Ace could appear before them easily.

"Stop!" after saying that, Ace released his aura.

All magical beasts instantly stopped running and trembled in fear.

Of course, they still wanted to run away from him.

However, their bodies did not listen to them because his aura was so terrifying.

"I will ask you one question. Who is the Ruler of this forest?" Ace went straight to the point.

"The Ruler? Do you mean all the kings in this forest?" The 3-star elephant responded as he trembled in fear.

"All the kings?" even though Ace had visited Framingburns forest many times, he knew nothing about it. "Explain in detail."

"I'm willing to explain everything in detail, but can…can you please stop releasing your terrifying aura? We are having difficulty breathing because of your intimidating aura." The 3-star bear responded, "We promise we won't run away again."

Ace stopped releasing his aura and spoke, "Explain it now."

"There are five regions in Framingburns forest." The 3-star bear began explaining everything in detail.

He said Framingburns forest was divided into five regions; west, north, south, east and center.

The king of the western region is a white tiger. Its name was Hyzi.

The north was ruled by a golden lion named Fyre.

The king of the southern region was the white bear, Calne.

The east was ruled by a Leopard named Adra.

As for the center, he had yet to learn who the king was because the previous king died last month.

"Oh? How strong are they?" Ace threw another question at them.

"We are not so sure about this." the 3-star elephant said. "But rumors say they are close to breaking through to 4-star. Maybe they are already at 4-star now."

"I see." Ace responded, "Take us to them now."

The elephant and the others wanted to cry after hearing his order.

They did not want to go to their places because they could die, but Ace would kill them if they did not listen to his words.

Whatever their decision was, the possibility of them dying was still there.

However, the possibility of surviving was higher if they followed Ace's orders because Ace was a dragon.

For this reason, they chose to follow his order.

----

After walking for more than four hours, they finally arrived at Hyzi's territory. The elephant took Ace to Hyzi's territory because they were in the west.

Hyzi's base was simple.

It was an open field with a stone throne in the middle.

His headquarters was also surrounded by high cliffs.

However, there were only a few trees at his base because the soil there was not very fertile. fr(e)enovelkiss

As Ace and the others were heading to his base, Hyzi was sitting on his throne with a bored face.

Even though he was the king of the western region, he did not feel happy.

He felt like something was missing in his life.

Nothing even excited him anymore.

It was different from when he tried to become king of the western region.

That was why he felt bored every single day.

"What a boring life and boring place!" Hyzi was not in a beast form but in a human form.

He could transform into a human form whenever he wanted because he was a descendant of a 6-star magical beast.

"Should I attack other regions?" a crazy idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

As he considered whether to attack the other regions or not, one of his subordinates ran toward him before finally kneeling on one knee in front of him.

"My king, eight magical beasts are looking for you." The 3-star puma said, "Their leader is a dragon."

"A dragon?" Hyzi said in surprise. "Why did they come to our place?"

"I don't know, my king." The puma responded, "They said they have something to say to you, my king."

"They have something to say to me?" Hyzi responded, "Bring them to me."

"Understood, my king." After saying that, the puma left.

"Since when did this forest become so popular?" Hyzi did not expect a dragon would come to Framingburns forest again.

'I suddenly can't wait to meet him.'

He added in his head.

Shortly after that, Ace and the others entered Hyzi's base.

As they were heading to the throne area, Ace skimmed his surroundings, checking Hyzi's subordinates.

'He has many subordinates. There are even more than ten 3-

star magical beasts. Not bad, not bad.'

After they were in front of Hyzi, he immediately checked his power.

'4-star?'

The happiness within him grew bigger when he knew how strong Hyzi was.

Like Ace, Hyzi also checked Ace's strength.

However, he did not know how strong Ace was because his rank was lower than Ace's.

'I can't tell how strong he is.'

Even though Ace was most likely stronger than him, Hyzi still sat on his throne calmly. He had fought stronger opponents several times, so there was no longer any fear in his heart.

"Why did you come to my place? Are you planning to attack me and snatch my territory?" Hyzi inquired.

"Going straight to the point, huh? Then I will give you an honest answer." Ace liked straightforward people because he did not need to think hard when he talked with them.

He then continued, "I came to your place with one purpose. I want you to become my follower. Hyzi, be my follower!"

Hyzi widened his eyes in surprise.

However, His surprised face immediately turned into laughter.

"Haha." Hyzi did not expect Ace to say something like that.

"You! How dare you laugh at my leader!" Mia was furious with Hyzi's behavior.

She wanted to attack him because Hyzi was disrespecting her leader.

However, Ace stopped her.

Ace wanted to recruit Hyzi as his underling, so he would avoid fighting if he could.

The 3-star elephant and 3-star bear stared at Ace with shocked faces.

'Are we going to die today?'

That was the question that suddenly appeared in their minds.

"Sorry for laughing." Hyzi stopped laughing. "I thought you wanted to kill me and snatch my territory. That was why I laughed after hearing your answer."

"I'm not interested in your territory, but I'm interested in you." Ace responded, "I heard about your journey to become king of the western region from this elephant and bear, so I wanted to take you as my follower."

"What makes you think I will become your follower?" Hyzi inquired.

Instead of answering his question, Ace talked about something else, "Hyzi, don't you feel bored living in your small territory?"

"Small territory? What are you talking about?" Hyzi uttered, "Just for information, my territory is not small. I even have seven thousand subordinates under my command. There is no way I will get bored with this kind of life."

"You don't need to lie, Hyzi. I know you feel bored with your current life." Ace could tell this from the light in Hyzi's eyes and his expression.

Hyzi did not say anything and only stared at Ace.

"If you follow me, I promise you will feel excited every day." Ace uttered, "Not only that, but you will also become famous and live in a place bigger than this place."

"Oh? Are you planning to attack Nightshire City like the previous dragon?" Hyzi knew what Dezmavas had done to Nightshire City because Dezmavas had tried to recruit him in the past.

"Nightshire City? No! Nightshire City is too small for my ambition." There was no way Ace would attack his city.

"Too small? Then what is your ambition?" Hyzi inquired.

"I want to become the Ruler of Luvrela Region." Ace stopped his words and corrected it. "No. I want to become the Ruler of this world."

"The Ruler of this world?" Hyzi did not expect Ace to say something like that.

Ace answered, "That's right. So, how is it? I'm sure you will feel excited every day if you follow me because many exciting adventures are waiting for us."

"You really have a big ambition, huh?" a big smile appeared on Hyzi's face. "But big ambition without being supported by big power is useless."

He then rose to his feet and walked closer to Ace.

"Now, show me! Show me that it's not an empty ambition." After saying that, Hyzi ordered all his subordinates to attack Ace because he wanted to know how strong Ace was.

When Ace saw seven thousand magical beasts rushing toward him, he still acted calm.

'He wants to test me, huh?'

When they were close to him, Ace let out his terrifying aura.

Boom!

All of Hyzi's subordinates fell to the ground.

Half of them fainted, while the rest had difficulty breathing.

The pressure was so heavy, so none of them could attack Ace.

Hyzi was even affected by Ace's terrifying aura, so it was normal if half of his subordinates fainted because they were much weaker than him.

As he was releasing his aura, Ace uttered, "Hyzi, have you forgotten that numbers are meaningless before absolute strength?"
