I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 884

Chapter 97: The Height of Myth

After the playful antics, the sleepy girl yawned lightly and soon melted into his arms.

“Just a little more nap…”

With that whisper, the soft sounds of her breathing filled the air.

Seems like yesterday really wore her out.

Feeling a bit guilty, Roy obediently served as a pillow for the girl while casually pulling up his status panel to check his rewards.

While the panel appeared with a mere thought, Roy still liked to use his hands, reminiscing about scrolling through his phone in his past life.

【Detected Reverse Fate Node Completed, Completely Altering the Destiny of Lionheart】

【Reward】: Reverse Fate Points +2

【Lionheart·Reverse Fate Progress】: 100

【Reputation】: Reputation Points +50,000

【Dragon Slayer】: Slain the evil dragon, ended the turmoil, saved the kingdom from peril. The oath knight’s fame is engraved here, surpassing the achievements of the Lionheart King, not only setting the standard for kingdom knights but becoming a true hero in the hearts of the people, standing shoulder to shoulder with the royal family, symbolizing the belief of the kingdom.

【Detected Reputation Gain, Converted to Faith Power】

【Divinity】: 20

These days, with the rampaging dragon blood driving him crazy, Roy hadn’t had the chance to check his panel, so seeing this glorious golden light springing up caught him off guard.

The completion of the reverse fate node was always the most reassuring news for him, and looking at the 100% completion bar made him feel like a massive weight had finally lifted from his heart.

The sheer amount of reputation and divinity gained also shocked him.

After all, he had fought tooth and nail against the evil dragon and then suffered at the hands of the dragon blood. This kind of reward was pretty justified!

Once Bahamut fully activated the dragon blood, he gained 5% divinity, and completing the task added another 5%! At this rate, the path to higher-tier promotion doesn’t look entirely hopeless!

Though, thinking back to his battle with Nidhogg still sent shivers down his spine.

Apart from his gains, the explanation for the title made some things clearer for him.

He used to think that “Lionheart” referred only to Charlotte, but now it seemed this term encompassed the entire Lionheart Kingdom.

Unknowingly, not only had he changed his own fate and Charlotte’s, but the entire fate of the Lionheart Kingdom as well.

Without him, Charlotte, Karl, Rob, Leisha, Qiao Ke, and Vanilla, the entire kingdom would have perished in the dragon race’s flames, and countless lives would have been lost.

Gazing at the bright sunlight outside, the passing nobles, well-ordered guards, striking maids, and the distant streets beginning to regain their former glory despite being ruined, Roy couldn’t help but smile.

Feeling like a hero isn’t so bad after all.

Then, sliding the panel down, Roy began to check the changes to his bloodline abilities.

【False King·Iron Blood】: Rank 4

【Dragon King’s Blessing】:

【Demon Dragon Blood Armor】: Unleashes the bloodline power of the evil dragon Nidhogg, significantly enhancing physical capabilities to the limit of the current bloodline level.

【Dark Thunder】: Breath of the evil dragon Nidhogg, unleashing pitch-black lightning imbued with dragon’s aura, powerful in explosive and penetrating qualities.

【Shadow of the Former King·Dragon King·Bahamut】: Consumes a large amount of extraordinary power to project the remnant soul of the Dragon King, demonstrating the awakening of the dragon bloodline. The strength of the remnant soul is related to the current bloodline level.

【Dragon Breath: Skyfall】: Relying on the Dragon Slayer Sword·Balmonk, breath refined to the extreme from the dragon king’s bloodline, a highly destructive beam of extraordinary power, possessing godly might from the dragon king. However, using it will cause the dragon king’s bloodline to stir.

After stepping into higher realms, his extraordinary power has increased at least tenfold, and his mastery over the dragon bloodline has improved immensely.

Using 【Blood Qi Forging Sword】 now allows him to project hundreds of Dragon Tooth Swords. The ability combos like 【Flame Ignition】 and 【Frost Chill】 could be executed more fluidly, even simultaneously.

As for the specifics, 【Demon Dragon Blood Armor】 is essentially an upgraded version of 【Evil Dragon Blood Armor】.

He vividly remembered the scenes where Nidhogg and Bahamut clashed, easily shattering landscapes.

Even with his own combat capabilities far exceeding ordinary Rank 5, daring to engage in a melee with Nidhogg in human form was out of the question. He feared even a casual swipe from either side could leave him a wreck.

Mythical beings, ancient dragons, the mere collision of their physical forms was akin to disasters.

And now he possessed an equal amount of power!

Just the ability to enhance his defense and stack on the thickest armor made Roy quite satisfied.

Moreover, 【Dark Thunder】 was a powerful sword skill.

The penetrating attack could even break through the dragon king’s remnant soul, and the breath with both might and speed could be considered the strongest trump card second only to the Blade of the Former King; under high-tier conditions, no creature would likely survive, not even those of high-tier could withstand it head-on.

As for the Shadow of the Former King, it was a crucial asset for him to defeat Nidhogg.

Projecting half-divine remnants to fight alongside him consumed a colossal amount of energy. Roy estimated that under full operation, it wouldn’t last a minute.

But then again, it was the remnant soul of the Dragon King! Even at high tiers, how many opponents could face that directly?

Thinking it through, he might even become a dragon knight someday!

Lastly, there’s his most powerful trump card at the moment.

【Dragon Breath: Skyfall】.

The strongest slash unleashed by the Dragon Slayer Sword, it could break the sky and reshape the land, quite literally.

Not just the damage, Roy could unmistakably sense an overwhelming power looking down upon the world, an indescribable but terrifying… divinity.

Even at higher tiers, there probably aren’t many mythical beings who could wield such power.

Sure, using this attack would consume a lot of energy and cause a frenzy in the dragon blood, but when it comes to a life-saving trump card, what’s there to nitpick?

Roy clenched his fist, feeling the surging dragon blood within him as a sharp gleam flashed in his eye.

He had finally reached a height that the original work never mentioned, a height that even Rolin had just begun to glimpse at the threshold.

It was the height of myth that he could only look up to before.

From now on, whether facing the progeny of evil gods, the rulers of the demon race, or the lofty apostles of god, and even that self-proclaimed pope, who fancies himself only beneath deities, even in defeat, he would have the strength to fight back!

Just as Roy began to daydream about slaying gods and basking in glory, a sudden knock at the door startled him back to reality.

“Your Highness, thank you for taking care of Lord Roy. I brought you some breakfast.”
