Chapter 321: Rewards And Congratulations

“Before I entered the maze, I used the magical beasts in it to fuse that dragon. Didn’t you guys see it?”

Watson reached out and teased the black dragon on his shoulder. He turned his head in puzzlement.

“That’s—”

Christina’s mouth went dry; she did not know what to say. They had seen the black dragon outside, but they thought it was there to guard the 100th floor. Who would have thought that that monster was not from the maze? Instead, Watson had created it.

Also, how did he fuse different magical beasts into a dragon? How did he do that?

“My honorable master, so you were the one who took all the magical beasts in the maze. No wonder I couldn’t sense them anymore! It took me a lot of effort to cultivate so many magical beasts, but it’s fine since you were the one who did that. Anyway, I belong to you now, and so you own my things too. What would you name that dragon, Master?”

“Well, it is a black dragon, so why don’t we call it Charcoal?” Watson said casually.

The Death Omen Star Dragon opened its mouth and spat out a ball of black flames, clearly rejecting the name.

Christina and the other adventurers were dumbfounded.

He wanted to name such a powerful dragon Charcoal? Perhaps he would like to call it Dust Ball?

Globe was stunned for a few seconds, then a look of pity appeared on her face. “My honorable master, I have to say that it is a very good name. I can already foresee the future. A giant dragon named Charcoal is so powerful that its name is written in the history records.”

Watson nodded with satisfaction. “Since you also agree with that, I shall call you Charcoal from now on.” It seemed that he could come up with a good name occasionally. He did not notice the human-like expression of grief on the Death Omen Star Dragon.

While Watson was naming the Death Omen Star Dragon, a massive magical teleportation array appeared on the maze’s 100th floor, and humans were ejected out of it.

“D*mn it, the trial is too difficult. I can’t believe they’ve cloned me. How am I supposed to defeat him?”

“I’ve gained quite a few insights during the trial. I was just a step away from advancing to gold-tier. Why is there a voice telling me that the trial is over? Has someone cleared the trial? Is it the swordmistress?”

Those people were the other adventurers from the City of Steel who had followed Watson and Christina into the underground city in hopes of gaining some benefits. Their trial had ended the moment the World Transformation Mirror recognized Watson as its master. Then, they were teleported back from all over the world.

Those people included Nightingale and Clyde.

“Young Master Watson, are you okay? We were teleported to the border after entering the trial. We were in your hometown, where we encountered terrifying magical beasts. Fortunately, your angels and subordinates were very powerful. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to come back. By the way, how did you transform your subordinates from humans into angels?”

Annie was the first one to rush toward Watson. When she saw Christina and the others standing beside Watson, she said, “Greetings, Lady Swordmistress.” Then, she shut her mouth.

Angels?

Did they hear her wrongly? Watson had a group of angels working for him?

Christina and the Holy Sword adventurer team members were numb. If they had not seen what Watson had done on the stairway temple, they might have cried out in surprise. Since Watson could even kill the sword saint clone instantly, they were not so surprised that he could create angels.

“You also participated in the trial? It was a good thing that you were teleported to the border. Otherwise, I would not have been able to save you in time. You should tell me in advance next time, Nightingale. Don’t make decisions like this without my permission,” Watson said to Nightingale in a harsh tone. She had trailed after Annie toward Watson.

He had planned to explore the dungeon with Annie and the others because he needed someone to cover him. However, after Antonio revealed his identity, there was no need for him to hide anymore. He had dragged the dungeon out and cleaned it himself. He did not expect Nightingale and the others to follow him because they were worried about him.

“Yes, Master Watson.” Nightingale lowered her head in disappointment. Then, Annie interrupted him, “Master Watson, Miss Nightingale was worried about your safety. If she hadn’t been protecting us, I’m afraid she would have already defeated the magical beasts in the trial and gone to help you.”

“Annie, you’re not allowed to speak up for her. I know Nightingale is kind, but I want to ensure her safety. If anything happens to her, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.”

Watson’s expression was still solemn, and his words made Annie stick out her tongue at him, though she dared not respond.

Annie sensed that Watson’s aura had grown after a short period of absence, and no one dared to challenge him. However, the Einherjar body’s unique constitution was too strong, and the aura it emitted was incomprehensible to an ordinary person.

Unlike Annie, Nightingale was unconcerned upon hearing Watson’s words. Instead, she smiled brightly and said, “So, that’s the position I hold in your heart, Young Master Watson. I will make sure to tell you before I do anything next time. I will not allow you to be worried about me.”

“Miss Christina, could you please explain the current situation to us?”

While Watson was speaking, the new arrivals, led by two gold-tier elites, went up to Christina and asked, “Did you guys pass the trial? Is that why we got transported out? If so, we’d like to congratulate you. Lady Swordmistress, you are worthy of your title as the Sword Saint family’s daughter. You’ve defeated yourself in such a short time. Your talent is truly admirable.”

“I did not pass the trial. The person who passed—”

Christina looked at Watson. The Holy Sword adventurer team members also turned their eyes toward Watson.

Puzzled, the other adventurers also turned to look at Watson. “That young man is Master Antonio’s disciple. He was the first one to rush toward the ruins just now. Did he pass the trial?”

Christina had led 200 people into the ruins, but she had failed to clear the level. Instead, that young man had beaten her to it. Was that a reasonable deduction?

Some people questioned it, while some did not believe it. However, when they saw the black dragon on Watson’s shoulder, their expressions changed, and the doubt in their eyes disappeared.

Even though it had shrunk by countless times, everyone still endured the fact that the black dragon was the creature that had been flying outside the maze. They thought it was there to guard the place. However, it was resting on Watson’s shoulder, so the young man must have been the one to clear the trial.

“So it was Master Antonio’s disciple who had cleared the level. Congratulations, Young Master Watson. As expected, a great teacher contributes to a great disciple. I wonder what’s the reward for clearing that level. May we have a look?”

One of the two gold-tier adventurers had asked about that. They were eager to pass the trial because they wanted the rewards. That was also why they were there to ask Christina if she had passed the trial. they immediately turned their attention to Watson when they learned that Christina was not the one who had cleared the level.

“My reward for clearing the trial is that.” Watson pointed to Globe, who stood beside him.

He got a girl for clearing the trial?

Many people were perplexed by the lovely female who resembled Watson. What kind of reward was that?

They would have gone to the Golden Quill Pavilion if they desired a lovely girl. The maids were not only considerate but also provided excellent services. They went to the maze to strengthen themselves. They thought they could increase their strength by leaps and bounds if they could clear the trial. Perhaps that girl was created by the maze, and she had unique skills that could aid one’s cultivation.

Globe walked forward from Watson’s side just as everyone was perplexed. She raised her short white skirt and curtsied. “Since everyone is confused, I shall respond to this! You might be unfamiliar with me due to my current appearance. What about now?”

As she spoke, Globe’s body changed form with a swoosh. Instead of a human girl’s body, it had transformed into an ice-cold mirror that was dozens of meters tall. A massive vortex gently rotated on the mirror.
