Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master

Chapter 152 Pureblood Dragon's Essence Blood

?

"I am Paula Leonel, daughter of the great general, Borong Leonel!"

Paula spoke in an awe-inspiring way, in hopes that she can amaze Alex.

That way, she can have an advantage later when they start talking.

However, when she took a peek at Alex's reaction, she just saw him staring back at her with a blank look.

Paula staggered, then she said, "Don't you feel amazed or anything?"

"Huh?" Alex tilted his head slightly and confusedly said, "Is there anything amazing about what you just said?"

Paula almost fell down to the ground after hearing Alex's words.

Her father, Borong Leonel, is a great general of the Kyisis Kingdom. 

Borong Leonel, a great general who managed to defend the border of Kyisis Kingdom from the invasion of an enemy kingdom, all on his own!

And this is not just a one time thing.

Borong Leonel has done this again and because of that, he even acquired the title, One Man Fortress!

As a general, he had countless achievements and was known throughout the whole Kyisis kingdom.

Even those neighboring kingdoms knew of his name and some even feared it!

Now, seeing Alex's nonchalant attitude, Paula can't help but ask, "You, don't you know anything about my father?"

At her sudden question, Alex frowned, "Your father? You said his name is Borong Leonel, right? What's the matter with it?"

Paula looked at Alex speechlessly.

"I can't believe that there's someone living in Kyisis Kingdom but don't know of my father." She murmured.

Paula digested this shocking information in her for a while before she got rid of it in her mind.

Shaking her head, she decided to forget about getting an advantage and said, "Okay, fine, if you don't know my father, just forget it."

Paula's expression suddenly became serious and said, "Let's talk about the thing that we want to request from you."

Paula snapped her finger and suddenly, a golden cup appeared in her hand with unknown liquid in it.

When that golden cup appeared, Ferri and Blaze outside the hut suddenly felt some pressure pressing upon them.

They looked at each other, confirming that they both felt it before turning their eyes on the hut.

…

When Alex saw the golden cup appear, he immediately became more curious.

He pricked up his ears and listened intently.

Paula opened her mouth and said, "What we want to ask from you is actually a simple thing that can even bring you benefit."

Hearing that, Alex's curiosity heightened. 

Seeing that, Paula raised the cup in her hand slightly and continued, "Inside this cup, there is a very precious material that could only be obtained from the body of dragons."

"However, not every dragon has this in them. Only a few pureblood dragons possess this."

"This is… Pureblood Dragon's Essence Blood."

When she said that, Paula moved the cup closer to Alex to let him see it.

Peeking inside the cup, Alex saw glowing golden blood, full of magnificence that couldn't even be explained with words.

The golden blood possesses brilliance that looks more precious than any gem to exist!

Alex stared at it for a while with fascinated eyes before he snapped out of it.

Then he lifted his eyes and looked at Paula with serious eyes.

"What's this got to do with the thing that you want me to do?" Alex said, pointing at the golden cup in Paula's hand.

Paula moved closer to Alex and stared directly into his eyes before saying, "What you have to do is just drink this. Just that simple."

Alex didn't just naively agree after hearing that.

Instead, he frowned and said, "Explain."

Alex's Charisma seems to burst out all of a sudden when he said that one word.

Originally, Paula wasn't that affected by Alex's charisma because she's also a charismatic person. 

But now, Paula can't help but feel the authority behind Alex's words when he speaks.

Affected by it, Paula opened her mouth and started talking.

"The reason why we want you to drink this is to let you acquire a certain dragon skill that we need."

"Dragon's skill?" Alex repeated with a frown.

Paula nodded, "It is a dragon's skill that we are in dire need of right now."

Alex went silent at this time.

Currently, Alex is thinking about this deal more rationally.

On the other hand, Paula sat there while looking at Alex, anxiously waiting for him to say something.

After a while, Alex raised his head and looked at Paula with a serious face.

He said, "From what I heard so far, this deal will do nothing but benefit me, which seems like an unusual deal."

"So, tell me, why do you need me, someone who now possesses a dragon's skill, to be the one to take this golden blood?"

Sighing, Paula replied, "It's because as someone who already managed to acquire a dragon's skill by eating its meat, the chance of you surviving and gaining the skill after taking this Dragon's blood is higher..."

A deep frown can't help but appear on Alex's face at this time after hearing what Paula just said.

"Wait, did I hear you wrong or did you really just mention something about 'survival' after taking that golden blood?"

Once again, Paula let out a sigh before suddenly pushing the golden cup to Alex, saying, "If you have a appraisal skill of some sort, you can look at the details of this first. It will be easier for you to understand what I mean."

Staring at her for a few seconds, Alex turned his gaze at the golden blood and used [Inspect] without hesitation.

The next second, Alex's eyes widened!

[Pureblood Dragon's Essence Blood]

[Rating: Legendary]

[Effects: When consumed, there is a 10 percent chance of acquiring the skill 'Dragon Borne' or 0.01 percent of successfully changing your bloodline into that of a dragon. If the user already has a dragon's skill, the probability of acquiring a skill increases to 50 percent.]

[Details: Made with the blood of 100 different pureblood dragon's blood to turn it into what it is today.

Note: If the user of this item failed to acquire anything, there is a 90 percent chance that they will die.]

…

Alex first looked at the effects this golden blood has.

Without doubt, Alex was surprised to learn the effects of this legendary item.

  "An item that could change one's bloodline to Dragon blood?! This is a precious item!"

But just as he said that, he saw the notice at the very end and immediately shut his mouth.

Alex felt like his excitement was poured down with cold water, instantly cooling him down.

He turned his gaze to Paula with complicated eyes.

"This… the chance of dying when you use this item is too high…"

Hearing that, Paula bowed down.

Honestly, she also knows that she's asking too much from a stranger.

She's basically asking him to die by requesting him to drink this blood essence. 

Thoughts started swirling around inside Paula's head and she felt greatly conflicted. 

Finally, she gritted her teeth was decided to not ask Alex to do this suicidal thing anymore.

However, just as she was about to say something, Alex got ahead of her and said, "Since I'm taking such a great risk like this, there should be a reward if I manage to succeed here, right?"

Raising her head, Paula saw that Alex was looking at her and the golden cup with great interest.

Paula looked at Alex in surprise.

"What?! Are you serious right now?"

Alex casually nodded, "Yeah, I want to try it out."

"Try it out… didn't you see that there's a high chance that you could die if you take this blood essence?!"

Paula said, feeling dumbfounded at Alex's decision. 

Alex shrugged, then he showed her a fearless smile and said, "It doesn't matter. I think I will get it anyway. After all, I think my luck is just too good nowadays."

Paula stared at Alex who muttered such words with confidence and didn't know what to say.

Looking at the golden cup containing the golden blood in her hand, Paula thought about it for a bit.

'...I shouldn't let him do it. The chance of him dying is too high.'

When Paula was thinking of such things, the image of her father who's in a coma because of the poison suddenly crossed her mind.

Paula fell into a dilemma. 

On one hand, she doesn't want to let Alex drink the blood essence since it might kill him.

While on another, the possibility of curing her father in the small chance that Alex succeeds is something that both Paula and her sister Azul want to happen.

'What should I do, what should I do…'

Paula remained still and silent for a while, pondering her choices as much as she could.

Alex who's been looking at her this whole time saw the changes that occur on Paula's face at this time.

With a smile he said, "Are you doing a face exercise? Your face keeps changing every second."
