Chapter 225-New system function
Gargantor talks to Philip about the situation of everyone in the underground. Dave just watched him and saw that he was a good leader, and he seemed to be hiding them from the Clan Leader.
As he heard their conversation, it seems that Gargantor’s parents were officials of the clan leader, but they learned something shocking about their clan leader.
They tried to stop him, but they were easily defeated by the clan leader. His mother was killed by the clan leader, but his father escaped and decided to hide Gargantor who was only a kid back then, and his other family members and friends because he knew that their life was in danger.
His father died after he had already settled his clansmen because he suffered fatal injuries. But before he died, he passed an ancient technique to him, and it helped him to get stronger.
His father said that they must slumber to minimize their energy so the others decided to slumber while some were not.
Dragons can live without eating for a decade or more but Gargantor didn’t want to only wait here so he decided to go out and hide his identity from anyone.
He first lived as a soldier until one of the commanders noticed his talent so he was promoted to sergeant until he reached his current position right now.
He easily rises into the ranks and every time he faces danger, he will get stronger. He is now one of the favorite commanders of the clan leader and it was Gargantor’s plan because he wanted to avenge his parents.
Since he became a commander, he constantly supplied everyone in the underground with food and other supplies but it was not enough because if he exported a huge supply, someone would definitely investigate it.
After talking to Phillip, he went to a secret room where the belongings of his parents were located. He hides them there because if he suddenly missed them, he would come back to the room to remember his memories with them.
As he was sitting at the table reminiscing his childhood days, he suddenly felt a presence in front of him as he stood up and prepared to defend himself.
His power is high so if he didn’t detect the presence of the intruder easily, it means that he was strong, so Gargantor is already ready to fight.
“Who are you?”
Gargantor shouted and he was not nervous for his safety but for the people in the underground.
“Hey! Calm down lizard”
Dave suddenly revealed himself in front of him and Gargantor was shocked to see a human whom he believed was more handsome than him but his power and aura are tyrannical.
If someone calls him a lizard, he will definitely charge at him and kill him but the human in front of him gives him a sense of eerie as if he can kill him if he decided to attack him.
He can tell that the human in front of him killed a lot of people, so he didn’t dare to act rashly.
“What do you want?”
Gargantor tried to remain calm even though he is nervous right now. Since the person in front of him didn’t attack him immediately, it means that he is not here to kill him.
Dave smiled when he heard his response, so he nodded and replied, “Well, you are a smart lizard, I thought that every one of you is barbaric.”
Gargantor face darkened and replied, “Don’t call me lizard”
Dave smirked and took a seat as if he owns the room.
“Well listen Lizard, I am here to propose something to you.”
“Do you want to kill the clan leader?”
Gargantor was shocked but he hastily replied, “What are you saying?”
He denied it as he was afraid that Dave is one of the men of the clan leader.
Dave smiled and said, “Well, you don’t need to hide it because I will eventually kill him also, but I am giving you a chance to avenge your parents”
Gargantor was shocked by his claim to kill the clan leader and he is a bit doubtful if he had the power to do that.
“How can you prove that you have the skill and not lying to me?”
He asked as he didn’t want to end up dying without avenging his parents.
Dave smiled and then released 20% of his aura toward Gargantor.
Suddenly, Gargantor was directly pinned to the ground and his body is paralyzed and he could not move an inch.
“What?”
Gargantor, who is prideful and never felt hopeless since he was young, was shocked by the power of Dave.
Dave taunts him.
“What? You cannot even withstand my 20% power and you are already sleeping on the ground.”
Gargantor was becoming more afraid to know that it was not even half of his full power.
…….
After calming down and knowing the power of Dave, he now looked at him respectfully and listened to his plan.
“So you mean that he is unleashing a terrifying monster in the beast’s world?”
Gargantor was shocked at the news Dave had brought him.
He now also felt that this was the reason why his parents were killed.
Dave nodded and replied, “He believed that he could tame the Taotie and wanted to feed the whole Beast’s world to it.”
He asked Ronin if he knew about the Taotie, and he said that they are vicious creatures, and they will not stop until they devour everything and they even tried to devour heaven but they were punished by gods so there are only a few remaining Taotie alive.
He can directly go there to fight him but he felt that it is more interesting to let Gargantor do it and he knew that he will get a lot of benefits from it.
“SO you will help me avenge my parents but what will be the payment?”
Gargantor asked and Dave replied, “You.”
Gargantor looked at him strangely and replied, “Even if you are strong, I will not let you taint my body, and I am not gay.”
Dave was stunned and realized that he must misunderstand it.
“Fuvck you! I am not into men.”
“What I meant is, you will surrender yourself to me and become my subordinate, how about it?”
Gargantor wanted to avenge his parents since he was a child and he felt that Dave could really help him.
“As long as I kill him, I will guarantee that my loyalty will only belong to you, and I will not betray you.”
Gargantor swore and all he wanted to do is kill the clan leader. He knew that he cannot fight him on his own but Dave gave him a chance so he will not let it pass by.
Suddenly, Dave who is satisfied with the deal he made received a notification from the system.
[Ding! You triggered a new function of the system]
[Since the host reaches Immortal, there are more functions available in the system and you opened the Mission function]
[The Mission Function will help the host to receive good rewards and a lot of surprises]
================
[Mission: Help the protagonist Gargantor to avenge his parent]
[Rewards: Protagonist Halo (200)]
[Gargantor’s loyalty]
[Divine energy]
================
Dave was amazed and he didn’t expect that he would trigger a new function. He asked the system about it and the system clearly identified what it was all about.
The system said that since Gargantor is a protagonist in the beast’s world and is protected by the heavens’ will and had a lot of protagonist luck, making them willingly submit to the host will give them divine energy and he will also receive the same amount of luck the protagonist had.
Protagonists are prideful and arrogant so it’s hard to make them willingly submit. Dave uses his weakness, so he makes Gargantor make a deal.
Yes, when he first saw him, he saw in his status that he is a protagonist because of the ridiculous luck he had in the status and he had a title, “Son of Heaven”.
He realized that since there is a villain like the Clan leader of the Dragon Clan, a protagonist will be born to stop it.
He already saw some people who had that title like the guy he met in the Starlight clan that he helped to escape with his girlfriend.
They are hard to kill so Dave only wanted to befriend them or make them owe him a favor.
It’s his first time trying to subdue a protagonist, but he eventually triggers the new function.
