Chapter 396: Eating early morning breakfast with mother

Velkazar

Species: Dragon

Bloodline: Rainbow

Grade: Ancient

Level: ????

Description: Velkazar is the twelfth guardian of Dragon Island. As a rainbow dragon, she has all the abilities of every type of dragon ever existed.

"Okay, this one seems stronger than I imagined," Wil concluded that it isn't in his best interests to offend it. If it was only a 1-star Ascended beast, he would have thought of summoning Tiamat but now, upon seeing its grade, he felt that this might be a 3-star Ascended beast too

While he has never heard of an Ancient grade before, Wil assumed that this grade might be a level above mythic grade. After seeing all the unimaginable things in this new life, Wil is no longer surprised that there's a grade higher than even Mythic+.

The only thing that gives him comfort is how the damage limit is also capped for NPCs and monsters. So, Wil felt that he needs to attain 1 Trillion HP before challenging such beasts.

Meanwhile, Lucius had a look of infatuation as his eyes fell on the beautiful dragon shining in the colors of the rainbow. He doesn't know what came over him. With a dazed look, he was just walking towards it until he was suddenly grabbed by Wil and stopped.

"Where are you going?"

"Ah!" It was only then Lucius came to his senses and just apologized to him.

*Tap* Tap*

Frost started to walk. His faction members also followed him from behind.

Wil and Lucius stared at them in silence. 

"It looked like your efforts of saving my father have gone to waste," Frost commented as soon as he got near. Stopping before the two of them, he glanced at Lucius, "so, this kid is your king?"

"He is destined to rule the entire Dragon Island," Wil answered in a confident tone as if he was stating the obvious. Of course, he also hid the fact that he's not accepting Lucius as his ruler.

"Destined?" Frost fell into thoughts. Because of Wil's white wings, naturally, he too thought he was from the Eucliffe clan as it is a unique feature to them. And as this clan of white dragons is adept in prophecies, he suspected the boy might be involving a prophecy to rule.

To confirm his suspicions, he asked Wil whether he is representing himself or the Eucliffe clan, to which, the latter replied that his actions have nothing to do with the clan.

The meaning behind Wil's words only states that he wasn't a part of the Eucliffe clan. However, for Frost, they appeared different. Thinking that it was an individual mission, Frost bursts out in laughter as he put forth his hands towards his competitor. "Okay, I got. Anyway, Good luck, kid."

Frost no longer cared about Lucius and started to return to his original position. Wil didn't know what's going on in this Ice Dragon's mind but he was careless about it either way.

Wil's eyes then fell on the Dragon once again. "Why it is still asleep? Is it waiting for other competitors?"

Remembering the time limit, a thought appeared in his head. Wil decided to return home and return when the time limit is near. However, considering how the place wasn't a no-combat zone, Wil was worried about the assassination of Lucius.

A plan formed in this mind. He closed his eyes.

"Summon, Gourd"

Lucius saw a crimson-colored three-foot big gourd appeared in his benefactor's hands.

Looking at the teenager, Wil then said, "Lucius, I have somewhere I need be. There are still 35 hours. Until then, you will have to spend inside this prison. It will be dark but trust me. It is for your safety."

Because of high favorability, Lucius agreed to his suggestion despite not being comfortable with the idea.

"Activate, Gourd Prison." He opened the lid.

*Ding! Please select the target.

As Wil selected the target, magic power was flown from his body to the gourd, activating a powerful suction force from its opening.

Under the eyes of Frost and his allies, Lucius was sucked into the gourd and they saw Wil calmly put the lid and closed the opening of the gourd.

"Au Revoir." Wil waved his hands towards Frost with a smile and disappeared from their view, letting them wonder whether they teleported to somewhere else.

***

*Swoosh*

The capsule door was opened and Wil stepped out of it with all sweat over him. The room's lights were on. And through the window, he could see the outside is dark.

Wil instantly checked the time. "It's already 4:15?" Wil never expected the day would go so fast even though he fought two great battles, bringing chaos to the Dragon world and starting an event, evolve into a gold dragon, evolve his seer abilities, and even met the Divine Dragon.

Upon realizing that the majority of the time was wasted on traveling, he felt the need to install teleportation formation across the Island once he was done with it. He decided to add it to the file, later.

Right then, his stomach started growling and he rubbed it. "Should I go out and eat? Death King's store. No, what was his name again? Ah, that's right. Chu Yongmin. His store has a microwave right" 

After having a quick brush and shower, Wil put on his clothes and stepped outside the room only to find the lights were switched on in the living room and his mom is lying her head on the dining table. "Why is she sleeping there?"

Wil shrugged his shoulders and put the thought away as he didn't care about it. To not wake her up, he slowly closed the door.

Just when he was about to pass her, suddenly, his phone started to ring.

Her eyes opened abruptly and she stood up from the seat while Wil turned off the alarm.

"Oh! Hey, Wil. You are up." She glanced at the watch around her arm and then, turned towards him. "Good morning."

"Morning," Wil slowly replied before he asked to clear his doubt now that she was awake, "why are you sleeping here?"

"Oh, it's nothing." She brushed it off. "I didn't know that you are going to game for all day. Anyway, you didn't have anything yesterday. Let me make a quick breakfast."

"It's alright," Wil informed her that he was going out for a run anyway. So, he can eat at a convenience store.

"But, you still need energy to run, right?" Scarlet tried to convince him, believing that he was just avoiding her.

Without waiting for his reply, his mother started to take away the dishes on the dining table. Since they were out all night, she had to throw everything in the bin.

Looking at the dishes, Wil understood that she was waiting for him to eat together and probably waited all night. 

After all, he did get a couple of calls from his mother while he was on his way towards Mt. Velkazar. But, he never lifted them as he was uncomfortable eating with the family.

There was Scott he couldn't like because he is his mother's husband. And there was his mother who abandoned him. And then, there's Rey, who is the son of his Aunt that showed him hell during his teenage years. Of course, he doesn't hate Rey but neither could he like him too. Wil's only comfort was Mia.

Maybe, Mia was upset that he refused to eat with them?

When such a possibility appeared in his head, he felt a little bit guilty. At the same time, he also felt pity for this mother who was trying her best to bond with him.

"Is there instant noodles?" Wil asked her. "I usually crave noodles if I stay awake around this time."

"Eh?" Scarlet was a little bit surprised. It reminded her of how she would drag her late ex-husband to eat light night food. 

After throwing all the other ingredients in the vessel, she told him to look after it for a while and left to her room to freshen up. After all, it feels good to eat noodles together rather than alone.

Wil wondered why she made in greater quantities. Even if they were eating together, isn't it too much?

Five minutes later, by the time she returned, she saw her son was in the middle of tasting the broth and the meat.

"Hmm, quite good" Wil seemed like he really liked the taste. It felt like he tasted a delicacy. 

When he spotted the presence of his mother, he forcefully changed his expression to normal and continued to stir the ladle like he was doing earlier.

Scarlet smiled as she shook her head.
