BXBX NOVEL Chapter 134 Fleeing the Desert (2)
It was hard to leave the place where you grew up and lived all your life. The devotees wouldn’t do that without first seeing the horde of monsters.
They did that because of their blood mark, but because of their faith in Arthur. A few days ago, they received the first blessing, and that took out the doubts from their hearts as they truly accepted Arthur.
The blessing improved the overall strength of all warriors, but not only that. Each person received something unique, and the people that did the most for the faith, such as praying more or spreading the word, received better bonuses.
That made them eager to spread the word of Arthur’s power, and after centuries, someone was finally doing something for them, unlike the silent totems that disappeared a long time ago.
Arthur was happy with that, as it also increased his strength as attributes, which could be increased indefinitely. Speaking of each, Arthur had tons of points to use.
[Name: Arthur Willians]
[Draconic Name: Placidusax, the Eater of Worlds]
[Rank: ???]
[Level: 58]
[Health: 6900/6900]
[Mana: 15200/15200]
Attributes:.
[Strength: 106]
[Agility: 46]
[Vigor: 36]
[Wisdom: 131]
[Charm: 46]
[Free points: 40]
The 40 free points went all to Wisdom, as he had the passive of his celestial body, which meant all the attributes would eventually increase and reach the same amount as his highest attribute.
Also, the moment he finished using his points, the notifications from the system popped up.
[+20 Points to All Stats from Devotees.]
[+10 Points to All Stats except Wisdom.]
After all of that, his stats were now completely different, and Arthur sensed the growing power inside his body.
[Name: Arthur Willians]
[Draconic Name: Placidusax, the Eater of Worlds]

[Level: 58]
[Health: 8300/8300]

Attributes:
[Strength: 136]
[Agility: 76]
[Vigor: 66]
[Wisdom: 171]
[Charm: 76]
[Free points: 0]
[Potential Wives: Wisa: Level 52]
Another great thing that happened was the upgrade of his Dragon Fire Body. The hot temperature from the desert kept improving it, and eventually he broke up to the next tier, increasing the power of all his fire skills.
[Dragon’s Fire Body (Max Rank): Increasing the absorption level of this skill will make you learn fire related spells faster. It will also increase the power of your fire spells, and your fire resistance.]
[Absorption level: 30% of 100%.]
It was already at 30%, yet Arthur did not know how to increase it, as just absorbing the sunlight energy was doing nothing. Perhaps if he finds a fire treasure? Or maybe dived inside a volcano? Maybe Arthur should try that.
These were things he would worry about later. As of now, Arthur was focused on leaving the desert alive.
According to Wisa, it would take them 15 days to reach the border of the empire where the portal was. Not that close, and with the amount of people there, feeding all of them would be hard.
Arthur had to fractionate the food so that everyone could eat, and endure the long journey…

After two weeks of constant battle with the beasts, hunger and thirst, they were finally near the portal that led to the Elven Kingdom.
The only problem was that they weren’t alone, but came across another tribe, who were also heading to the same location. How did they know about it? Arthur did not know, but he wouldn’t let them hurt his people.
That tribe had fierce warriors, and they weren’t scared of the number of people with Arthur, as they also had a similar number of people. It was, in fact, not a single tribe but the unison of many.
Someone stepped forward, and Arthur guessed it was the leader, so he did the same. The difference of power between the two was visible as one walked and the other floated, like a being from another realm.
“Who are you? Tell me what you are doing here or I’ll kill all of you.” The leader said.
Arthur coldly gazed at him, and said, “I did not allow you to speak, ant. Kneel.”
He teleported and appeared in front of the dazed leader, who couldn’t do anything to stop the strength of Arthur.
With his right hand exerting the strength of the man’s shoulder, he knelled even if he did not want to.
“I’m the celestial Akhur. You may have heard about me. Don’t mess with me or my people, and you’ll live.” Arthur said as he gazed at the man beneath him.
“I assume you are also going to the portal? We may enter the Elven Kingdom together, but after that, we will follow our own paths. How does it sound?”
The leader was scared, as he had witnessed the power of Akhur. His son was one person who survived on the attack in Jinzaka tribe.
“Okay, we can agree with that.”
Arthur let go of the man and returned to his own people. Then, he continued moving forward as nothing had happened.
Some of them tried to speak with their leader to launch an attack against Akhur, but he refused, and even yelled at them, “are you fucking insane?”

A ball of green light of the same size as a carriage. That was the portal that led to the Elven Kingdom, one of them at least.
Few people knew about it, as it was hidden inside an illusion array. Wisa
