After A Billion-Year Torture, I Returned As A Transcendent Player

Chapter 6: Argon Bloodsun Cyber dragon -- Arthur

It was a giant humanoid Terror.

Demonic, otherworldly, eldritch, with four massive horns on its head, each with a blazing wisp of fire above it.

After it completely emerged from the tear, it stood thirty meters tall, with a body made of some kind of solid material, carved with glowing green and golden liquid patterns.

Its eyes were glowing green-red, and its face had symbolic carvings glowing with golden liquid.

The tear behind it vanished, but it left a powerful Terror behind, capable of erasing a city’s population within a minute if left unattended.

"Were you the one?"

Beatrix was frozen in fear.

"No, it’s not you." The Terror General looked at the mansion. "Someone from there."

"Stop!"

Beatrix forced out a shout, her bow and arrow glowing.

The Terror General looked at her, his eyes filled with amusement.

"What can an insect like you do to me?"

Beatrix gritted her teeth, bursting with all her energy to unleash her full-power attack.

The arrow launched, becoming bigger as it surged with condensed energy, volatile and extremely explosive.

BOOOM!

It struck the Terror square in the chest.

But her attack exploded, and the smoke dispersed without leaving a single scratch on its body.

"Puny human." The Terror General pointed his index finger at Beatrix.

"Try this."

Beatrix’s heart was beating wildly in fear.

Running was futile.

Defending was futile.

Death seemed inevitable.

Until she saw a golden gleam behind the Terror General.

The Terror General’s eyes glinted sharply, his aura surging as he intended to blast everything around him because he felt a threat behind him.

But before he could do that, a thin, clear, golden flicker passed through its neck.

A clean sweep.

The head rolled off its shoulders, and before it touched the ground, the giant body began dispersing into black smoke.

There. She saw it.

A beautiful yet majestic creature, the size of an elephant at most, with the wingspan stretching 25 meters.

A golden dragon with wisps of crimson energy patterns over its body and wings, with a metallic sheen over the scales, presented in a beautiful, exotic manner, as if it were a dragon someone designed pixel by pixel on an advanced computer.

It was exotic.

Its tail end flickered with a sharp golden short sword-like translucent projection, which was the weapon that beheaded the Terror General and killed it.

"Phew, I’m glad you are okay." Aidan shouted from below, smiling wryly.

’If you had died because of me, I would have blown my top.’

Just imagining how angry he would become if she died because of his anger... Aidan shook his head. freewebnσvel.cøm

’Fucking hell. I have to control myself with this thing.’

[Your anger has translated into a dangerous force due to prolonged suppression, and if it releases like this, it will be sensed by the Terroreign. Please be mindful of it. You have gotten rid of 2.7% of the translated anger so far. 97.3% to go.]

’...’

Beatrix looked down and saw Aidan.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Nothing. I just awakened my talent." Aidan smiled. "Meet Argon Bloodsun Cyber Dragon. I named him Arthur."

"Rawr!"

Arthur flew towards Beatrix, his big eyes shining with curiosity and containing complex layers of pupil patterns.

Beatrix blinked and then smiled, patting Arthur’s head.

"Thank you, Arthur."

Arthur cried out lightly and licked her face. Then he flew down towards Aidan and crashed into him.

"Rawr!"

"Urgh..."

Arthur licked Aidan’s face and pointed his tail at his own stomach before opening his mouth.

Beatrix chuckled as she descended next to them.

"It looks like Arthur is hungry."

"Roar!!" Arthur nodded vehemently.

"Yeah, I can somehow understand what he is thinking." Aidan stood up, feeling pretty good about having a dragon. A strong one at that.

"Since Arthur is hungry, and I can also eat more, can we go to the city and eat something good?" He looked at Beatrix.

"So the food I made wasn’t tasty?"

"I didn’t say that."

"But that’s what you meant, right?"

"Maybe..."

"Tsk, fine. Let’s go. But you have to put away Arthur. A dragon will attract dangerous attention." Beatrix’s face was somber. "There are people would do kill you for it."

Aidan looked at Arthur and patted his nose. "You heard that, buddy. Stay in the exotic space for a while."

"Rawr...." Arthur looked sad.

"I’ll send you food inside."

...

In a late-night bustling area of City G, where it was lively and bright even at 3 AM, an SUV moving at a breakneck speed.

Inside the car, Aidan sat at the passenger seat, sorting out some things.

First, killing that Terror leveled him up a ton. His stats jumped from F-1 to A-1.

<Terror Raids>

—————

According to this system, he had reached the level limit. To go past it, he must complete the Trial Quest.

Second, the quest tab below his status tab had three quests.

—Daily Quest Available to Generate.

—Main Quest (Shared): Find the Fang of Vorkapar. | Reward: 1000 x Transcendent Points, Mystery Box.

—Trial Quest: Enter a Terrorized Dimension of Tier-3 or above and destroy its nexus. | Reward: Transcendent-Mid Stage.

The main quest was shared. As in, it was shared with a pool of Transcendent Players. If someone from this pool completed it, the quest would disappear.

Third, the tab below the quest tab was Terror Raids.

The main quest had to be completed there.

[Terror Raids]

—Labyrinth: Vorkapar’s Tomb (6 days left).

—Labyrinth: Doom Lord Torlako’s Fort (1 day left) (98% death chance with your current combat power).

These raids were shared across all Transcendent Players, and with the goal of this program being crystal clear, Aidan was willing to assume that the majority of players would likely try to kill each other to increase their chances to be the ultimate powerhouse.

’Is there any other benefit to killing other Transcendent Players?’

[Yes. As you raise your Transcendent Rank, more will be revealed.]

"We are here." Beatrix stopped the car, parking perfectly in the half-filled parking lot.

Getting out of the car, Aidan asked a question in his mind.

’Are there any other Transcendent Players on Earth?’

[Yes.]

’How many?’

[No comment.]

’How do I check if someone is a Transcendent Player?’

[Transcendent Players can check the status of everyone except other Transcendent Players.]

’Interesting. So if there’s anyone I can’t inspect, that must be a transcendent player.’ Aidan’s eyes glinted. ’And I can also be found easily in the same way.’

"Let’s go to the open dining area at the rooftop and eat there." Beatrix smiled.

"Sure."
