Chapters Chapter 215: The Full Metal Dragon Soars! (1/2)
No, it wasn’t the bone dragon per se.
This was a futuristic weapon known as the Full Metal Dragon. It was created by incorporating an anti-gravity device, 8 magic engineered V12 engines and other systems onto the bone dragon’s skeletal structure.
In other words, it was a new-generation bomber equipped with the newest magic-engineering technology of Laputa!
Of course, Aleister had no idea.
“Preposterous. This is preposterous!” Aleister could not accept the cold reality.
Not only was he a necromancer to the core, he even became an undead on his own will. It infuriated Aleister to see Kang Chul-In control both the spectre knights and the bone dragon.
Like this, what was the point of selecting one’s class?
Shudder…!
Aleister’s body shook with various emotions, namely inferiority, jealousy, helplessness and humiliation. To think he would lose to Kang Chuk-In in even necromancy, his specialty. He could no longer maintain his composure.
Meanwhile,
Thump!
The Full Metal Dragon paid no attention to Aleister. It flew around in the sky before landing in the Laputan army’s base.
“A d-dragon…”
“They actually managed to make this…”
“What in the world…”
The battle was ongoing in the background, but the Laputan soldiers were too captivated by the Full Metal Dragon’s appearance.
It was truly a sight to behold.

Once the Loyalty system was activated, the Full Metal Dragon turned around to face its sole master.
“Hmm?” Even Kang Chul-In stopped his charge and met with the dragon’s eyes.
Thump!
The Full Metal Dragon laid its upper body flat onto the ground. It resembled how a subject greeted his king.
“Interesting.” Kang Chul-In smiled.
The dragon that once destroyed Seoul and fought with Kang Chul-In with its life on the line was now bowing down to him like a pet.
“Wow...”
“As expected from his Majesty… He even made a dragon his loyal subject...”
“Waahh!”
“Kya...”
The Laputan soldiers could not stop admiring both Kang Chul-In and the Full Metal Dragon.
His Majesty is truly a hero! He even subjugated a dragon.
To think I’m his Majesty’s soldier... What a blessing to fight for him.
Laputa is indeed a great nation that’s even capable of controlling a dragon!
For… Laputa!
The soldiers were eager with their loyalty, pride and respect towards their king and Laputa. The sight of a dragon bowing down to Kang Chul-In, a human, had such a huge visual effect.
[You have become the owner of the Full Metal Dragon!]
While the soldiers continued to be surprised, Kang Chul-In inspected his notification window.
[I’m Loyalty, the control system for the Full Metal Dragon. Welcome!]

ThOse crazy bastards… They actually made it...
Kang Chul-In was surprised.
In fact, he didn’t have high expectations for the Full Metal Project.
It’s not that he didn’t trust his magic engineers back in Laputa.
Fundamentally, he wasn’t an Overlord who specialized in magic like Franz or Ludwig Heinel. He thought that it had a low chance of success, but there was nothing to lose.
However, the results were far too good.
For Laputa’s engineers to generate a weapon of this caliber, it was now hardly an exaggeration to say that the nation possessed the greatest magic-engineering technology in the whole of Pangaea.
Kang Chul-In almost began to wonder whether his men captured an alien and borrowed its technology.
Well… The magic engineers were once under Franz, so they should be pretty good after all.
Kang Chul-In nodded his head in satisfaction.
Who would have known that his Mecha Dom conquest in the past would become so fundamental for Laputa? Technology was indeed a nation’s power.
I should give them higher bonuses and longer leaves.
Kang Chul-In was willing to dish out even a 1000% bonus to the magic engineers and technicians for their achievement.
There weren’t many of them anyway, so the extra cost was a trivial matter.
[While deploying the Artificial Intelligence Battle Protocol, the Combat Power (CP) drops below 100%. Do you wish to ride the Full Metal Dragon and fight? Yes/No]
“...!” That was an unexpected notification.
I can ride this dragon?
“Let’s try it.” Kang Chul-In, somewhat skeptical, pressed the ‘Yes’ button.
Wi-ing,
Chulkuk!
The Full Metal Dragon’s skull split in half, revealing the c.o.c.kpit.
“What are the controls?”
Even the great Kang Chul-In didn’t know how to operate a machine that he saw for the first time.
[Uploading the flight manual to the controller’s mind!]
[Adjusting the controls optimally for the controller.]
[Upload complete!]
Laputa’s advanced technology could overcome even this obstacle. Now Kang Chul-In really had his suspicions that an alien was trapped in Laputa’s laboratory.

The Full Metal Dragon’s skull closed back.
