Part-time Boss
Chapter 78 - 78 78 Homecoming

78: Chapter 78: Homecoming 78: Chapter 78: Homecoming His first thought was how to quickly gather nine Dragon Hearts to complete the mission, but the next moment, he realized that this idea was wrong.

Each Dragon Heart consumed brought a permanent enhancement, with the Magma Earth Dragon being merely a Terror Grade first-tier boss that lacked any special abilities; its most prominent feature was its ultra-high flame resistance, which was why he had gained the Magma Body skill.

It was certain that the more powerful the Dragon Heart, the better the enhancement it offered.

In the World of Sky, each kind of Dragon Race had its own domain of power; black dragons could control shadows, red dragons governed life, bronze dragons controlled time, white dragons created frost, and blue dragons mastered magic…

Moreover, the power levels of giant dragons varied greatly depending on their ranking.

He should attempt to hunt down the stronger members of the Dragon Race, and he needed to be selective about the abilities of the dragons he targeted.

If he ended up consuming a bunch of useless Dragon Hearts, gaining a pile of worthless abilities, wouldn’t that be a massive waste of such a good opportunity?

If he could acquire formidable abilities each time, even if he couldn’t turn into a dragon, he could still become an incredibly powerful hero.

Even then, transforming into a giant dragon would become secondary.

That’s right, that was the way to go; he couldn’t be so indiscriminate about consuming Dragon Hearts in the future.

At the very least, he would have to go after mature giant dragons, and better yet, Ancient Dragons.

If he could get a Primordial Dragon or even a Guardian Giant Dragon, the power he would gain would be tremendous, just thinking about it made him drool a little.

However, Mo Fei quickly regained his composure; Guardian Giant Dragons and the like were too far-fetched for now.

It was better not to be too ambitious in the early stages.

For the first few Dragon Hearts, he could choose some that were relatively easier to obtain, while also trying to understand the rules of this Dragon Delight ritual.

Later on, when his level and strength had increased, he would refine his choices, especially for the last few; he would certainly aim for powerful dragons.

Right, there was still that mission to hunt a black dragon that he hadn’t yet undertaken; he might as well start with it.

Thinking this, Mo Fei started walking back the way he had come.

As he made his way down the stone stairs back to the original path, Mo Fei opened his character panel.

Huh, he was already level eleven; he had leveled up when he defeated the Magma Earth Dragon but had completely failed to notice it at the time.

Without hesitation, he allocated all 5 attribute points to stamina.

His current stamina and carrying capacity were seriously lacking; he felt he needed at least forty points in stamina.

Next, he opened the Heroic Feat System.

After completing the Dragon Delight ritual, he had earned 500 Plot Points, which took him up to a Bronze tier second-order, allowing him to choose a new Heroic Feat.

There were still three Heroic Feats available for selection.

1.

Clothes-Shattering God of War (Action Feat).

When not wearing any armor, your movement speed increases by an additional 10%, and your jumping distance and dodge roll range increase by an extra 30%.

2.

Dragon Slayer Expert (Knowledge Feat).

You are an expert at confronting the Dragon Race; when facing dragon-type creatures, you can more easily discover their weaknesses.

By observing a dragon for an extended period, you can determine the areas to target for critical and fatal strikes.

3.

Greatsword Mastery (Combat Feat).

Through your experiences in wielding greatswords in battle, you have mastered the use of this type of weapon, reducing the stamina consumption when attacking with greatsword-class weapons by 30%.

This…

left Mo Fei speechless.

He hadn’t expected his habit of fighting bare-chested to lead to the generation of a Feat, and its effects seemed rather strong at that.

A 10% increase in movement speed was decent, but a 30% increase in jumping and dodge roll distance was impressive.

This effect could likely be stacked on top of movement skills such as the Martial Monk’s Cloud Leap and the thief’s double jump.

If he could reduce his load to 30%, meaning a light load state, his jump distance and roll distance would increase by 60%.

What an incredible concept that was.

With a few more displacement skills learned, his mobility would be absolutely top-notch.

Mo Fei was now certain that the wielder of the Dawn Divine Sword must have also had this feat.

Otherwise, he couldn’t explain why he wouldn’t wear armor.

Surely it wasn’t just to cosplay as the barbarian Conan.

Since he had the Dragon-Slaying Greatsword, it was very likely he had encountered situations where he had to fight without clothes due to insufficient load capacity and, along the way, unlocked the feat “Explosive Cloth-Rending War God”.

But was it really wise to choose this feat?

He felt that without any armor, he would be quite vulnerable.

Moreover, high-level armor usually had additional attributes, so such gear might indeed prove a loss rather than a gain.

Sword specialization was also a good choice, but he was in no hurry.

He would probably trigger that feat frequently in the future as he often used greatswords in combat.

As for the Dragon Slayer expert, it was a specialized feat much like his Dragon-Slaying Greatsword, extremely effective against the Dragon Race.

If he were to fight other enemies, it wouldn’t be of much use.

But considering he was aiming to take the path of Dragon Delight and would certainly battle many giant dragons along the way, the feat was indeed very necessary.

It was a tough choice to make.

After long consideration, Mo Fei decided to choose Dragon Slayer Expert as his current optimal choice.

[System prompt: You have unlocked the new Heroic Feat “Dragon Slayer Expert”, which is now active.]

With his choice made and his mind at ease, the next task was to slay the black dragon.

Originally, he wasn’t very confident about this, but now Mo Fei was full of confidence for the upcoming weekly quest.

The combination of the Dragon-Slaying Greatsword and the Dragon Slayer Expert feat was a nemesis to dragon-type creatures, and the Flame Talisman of the Dragon Slayer, combined with the Magma Body, could resist the damage from the black dragon’s flame to the greatest extent.

How could he lose?

However, to be on the safe side, Mo Fei decided to recruit another group of Adventurers.

Better safe than sorry.

He had initially been reluctant to recruit Adventurers because he didn’t want to waste Plot Points, but now he didn’t care much about Plot Points anymore.

The priority was to obtain the Dragon Heart.

Eager to return, Mo Fei headed back to the Ruins Hall with the remaining soldiers, embarking on the day-long journey home.

He wasn’t idle along the way, slaying monsters for half a day.

By the time he returned to Altland City, it was already evening, and Mo Fei had successfully leveled up.

He was now a Level 12 Northwind Knight.

The moment Mo Fei stepped through the gates of Altland City, he truly felt like he was coming home.

After spending five days in the wilderness, constantly either battling or traveling, the days seemed exceptionally long.

Mo Fei couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

A too vast game map wasn’t always a good thing.

Back when he was a black dragon and could fly, it wasn’t an issue, but traveling on foot was utterly exhausting.

It seemed he needed to get a mount.

Since it was too late in the day, Mo Fei decided to start recruiting Adventurers early the next morning.

He planned to reach Dragon Roar Peak by the afternoon and settle the battle before nightfall.

As for now, Mo Fei, exhausted from a day’s efforts, only wanted to log off and rest.

He returned to the Royal Palace and logged out in his room.

After dinner, Mo Fei went to bed early.
