Chapter 196: The Volcanic Empress and Emperor Rise

Savra and Ragnar exchanged a glance before turning their attention back to Lucius.

Savra was the first to speak. “So Lucius, can you make the same pills but stronger for us?”

Ragnar leaned forward slightly as he added. “If you can do it for Daxton, you can do it for us too, right?”

Lucius smirked as he crossed his arms. “Of course I can. Both of you currently have King-Level Talent, correct?”

Both nodded in unison.

Lucius chuckled. “Upgrading to Emperor-Level Talent will be a bit harder, but not impossible. It’s well within my capabilities.”

Savra and Ragnar exchanged another glance and smirked. The idea of unlocking Emperor-level talent clearly piqued their interest.

Savra smirked. “That would make us even stronger. With Emperor-level talent, we’d be on an entirely different level.”

Ragnar also added as he smirked. “Stronger than anyone in the Empire. This could change everything.”

Lucius nodded slightly. “It will, but there’s something else we need to address first.”

Savra tilted her head as she was confused. “Something else? What are you talking about?”

Ragnar leaned back slightly. “Yeah. What’s this about?”

Lucius chuckled. “You’ll know tomorrow. Let’s just say… it’s important.”

Both could sense that Lucius was up to something significant, but as always, he wasn’t ready to share the full details.

Savra sighed, shaking her head with a faint smile. “Fine. You always keep us guessing, Lucius.”

Ragnar chuckled. “I see, but still, you’re lucky your results speak for themselves.”

Lucius simply smirked. “Don’t worry. You’ll understand everything soon enough.”

With that, the discussion ended, leaving the room charged with anticipation for whatever Lucius had planned.

—

The next day, Lucius entered the grand main hall of the Volcaria Estate yet again.

He glanced at Ragnar and Savra, who were now healed. Yesterday, they had surprised Lucius.

They were completely unfazed when they underwent the same grueling process as Daxton.

Each of them had sacrificed an entire hand and provided two buckets of blood as they were nothing.

Lucius smirked faintly. “You two really are something else. I see that both of you have healed completely.”

Ragnar leaned back slightly and smirked. “Of course. A little pain and bloodletting won’t break us.”

Savra chuckled as she flexed her newly healed hand. “We’ve endured worse. And besides, the promise of what you’re giving us made it more than worth it.”

Lucius smirked as he reached into his spatial ring, retrieving two talent pills. He was satisfied as he held them in his hands.

The pills had cost him 200 million hack points to create. It was a steep price, but the results really worth it.

The pills also weren’t just ordinary Emperor Talent pills. Both have unique talents, as both of them were Volcanic Dragon Emperor and Volcanic Dragon Empress.

Ragnar and Savra exchanged another glance before turning to Lucius. Their gaze fell on the pills in his palm.

Savra frowned. “Enough with the suspense. Hand them over to us right now.”

Lucius smirked as he held the pills just out of reach. “Sure, but before that, let’s go to the prison.”

Both Ragnar and Savra frowned, exchanging a glance of confusion before looking back at Lucius. “The prison? What do you want to do with the prisoners, Lucius?”

Lucius chuckled and smirked. “Just follow me. You’ll see it later.”

Though still puzzled, Ragnar and Savra followed Lucius as he led them down the dimly lit corridors of the estate. They soon arrived at the prison.

They then went to the heavily secured cell, where Sevrina and Casey, elders of the Red Dragon Order, were being imprisoned and locked.

The moment they appeared, Sevrina glared at them and spat out. “We won’t talk no matter what you do to us.”

Casey nodded in agreement. “Save your breath. You’ll get nothing from us.”

Lucius smirked as he glanced at them. “I already know that you wouldn’t talk. That’s not why I’m here.”

Both elders frowned as they were really confused. “Then what do you want by coming here?”

Lucius didn’t respond. Instead, he turned to Ragnar and Savra. He handed them the pills. “Eat these.”

Ragnar and Savra exchanged brief glances, their earlier impatience returning. Without hesitation, they each took a pill and swallowed it.

The reaction was immediate. Both Ragnar and Savra staggered as their bodies began to change.

Their muscles tensed and swelled, their skin glowing faintly as their very forms were reshaped by the power of the pills.

The air was filled with their agonized roars as they endured the transformation.

Sevrina and Casey stared in disbelief as Ragnar and Savra roared in pain.

Casey trembled as she watched them and muttered. “What the hell…”

Sevrina turned to Lucius. “What are they doing? What is happening to them?”

Lucius stood calmly to the side and smirked as he crossed his arms. “You’ll know soon enough. For now, just watch.”

The agonizing transformation dragged on for nearly half an hour. But when it finally ended, both stood still, their breathing ragged and heavy.

Like Daxton, their appearances hadn’t changed. Their forms remained the same, their auras stable but seemingly no different from before.

Sevrina frowned as she was confused. “What the hell is this? What are you doing?”

Casey, equally puzzled, leaned forward against her restraints. “Are you messing with them? They look the same!”

Lucius chuckled as he turned to the prisoners. “Like I said, you’ll know soon enough.”

Lucius took out two Talent Stones from his spatial ring and tossed them casually to Ragnar and Savra.

Sevrina and Casey immediately recognized what stones they were. “Aren’t those Talent Stones?”

Lucius nodded but didn’t respond. Ragnar and Savra soon caught the stones and the moment they caught them, the stones glowed bright red.

Sevrina only smirked as she leaned back slightly. “As expected from the leaders of Volcaria. You both had King-Level Talent. Quite impressive.”

Lucius was amused as he turned toward Sevrina and smirked. “Oh? You think that’s good.”

He gestured toward Ragnar and Savra’s talent stones. “Then tell me. What do you think of that?”

The talent stones in Ragnar and Savra’s hands, which were red, suddenly began to shift color.

Sevrina was immediately surprised as she saw the new color. “What the hell is that?!”

Casey was also staring at the stones and stammered. “This… This isn’t possible! That’s—”

Lucius chuckled as he watched their reactions. “Exactly as I planned.”
