Sacrifice

"Cough, cough!" Roland spat out a mouthful of blood. Dos, pressed against his chest, also woke up. The ancestral possession was probably still on cooldown, so although the miniature Golden Dragon roared with all his might, he had no intimidation whatsoever and instead looked rather comical.

Whoosh! Roland gritted his teeth and tore open a scroll. A pair of azure arms emerged from the void, countless magic formations blossomed beneath his feet, and an azure shield enveloped both man and dragon.

Forbidden Spell! Arm of the Protector!

Roland had barely gotten the Forbidden Spell Apophis Breo had traded to him before he had already blown it.

"New side quest detected!" The system's voice suddenly rang out, followed by a translucent blue pop-up window.

"Death and Nirvana! The Lonely King has lost his way in the Misty Mountains and unfortunately encountered pursuit from two sixth-tier Orcs. To live or die rests on a single thought! Surrender without resistance or fight to the death? Crumble into mud or rise anew from nirvana! (This quest is automatically accepted and cannot be declined.)"

"Quest Objective: Kill the pursuers or escape successfully."

"Quest Reward: The loyalty of Anthony Dos, a fourth-tier Thunder Dragon Knight of the Dragon Knight Family!"

"Heh, screw you @*#!" Roland cursed with a smile. How the hell did it think he could turn this around? If he managed to escape, it would only be because the late kings of Lagrange had blessed him!
