Chapter 38: Summoning the Tyrant King
[Ding! Insufficient space.]
The system prompt chimed just as Jiang Qize pressed "Summon."
He slapped his forehead—right, he was still inside a room.
So, he walked out of the inn and stepped into the street.
"Summon."
The moment he spoke, ten million Beli were deducted.
Boom!!
The ground shook violently as a cloud of dust exploded into the air.
A massive shadow emerged within the swirling dust, radiating an overwhelming, predatory aura.
"Roar~!"
A deep, domineering roar thundered out—brimming with killing intent.
Boom, boom…
With each tremor, a colossal gray head appeared before him. Rows of teeth thicker and longer than his fingers glinted with cold light.
As the dust settled, the Tyrannosaurus Rex finally revealed itself.
Its body stretched fifteen meters long. The head stood six meters high, the hips four. The head alone was nearly two meters in length—tall enough that a man standing before it might not even reach its jaw.
Its forelimbs were small and practically useless, but its hind legs were monstrously thick—each one larger than a human.
Its rough, dark-gray skin was covered in deep wrinkles, giving it an aura of primal toughness.
And in its reptilian eyes burned pure, savage cruelty.
[Name]: Tyrannosaurus Rex
[Type]: Carnivorous Dinosaur
[Ability]: Violent Bite (Each bite delivers a force of 20 tons)
[Rank]: Navy Headquarters – Junior Lieutenant (rank, not equivalent to combat power)
[Ding! You have acquired one-tenth of the Tyrannosaurus Rex's attributes.]
As the voice faded, a surge of energy flowed into Jiang Qize's body, making his muscles go numb as they strengthened.
But the most noticeable change was in his teeth.
He watched in surprise as his teeth fell out one by one—only to regrow, gleaming whiter and sharper than before.
He could feel it clearly—his jaw strength had reached a terrifying level.
Opening his mouth, Jiang Qize cautiously slid a finger between his teeth and bit down gently.
"Pfft…"
A metallic tang spread across his tongue.
When he withdrew his hand, his finger was split open, blood trickling down.
"So sharp…" Jiang Qize muttered.
Though the enhancement was impressive, it wasn't exactly practical—after all, he wasn't about to fight with his mouth.
Still, the Tyrannosaurus's ability was terrifyingly powerful. Every bite could unleash its full 20-ton force. He wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that.
"When I've got more money, I'll give you a full enhancement." Jiang Qize smiled, patting the T-Rex's massive snout. It was so tall, he couldn't even reach its head.
Money… always money.
After that, he told the T-Rex to wander nearby and headed for the harbor.
At the docks—
Camon and little Robin were on the ship's deck, working on a large painting.
It was a massive flag.
"How's it coming?"
A calm voice sounded as Jiang Qize walked up the gangplank.
"Captain, it's almost done!" Camon quickly replied.
Jiang Qize walked closer and saw Robin painting carefully.
The design featured a skull, coiled around by a five-clawed golden dragon—his personal emblem.
"Mm. Not bad."
Seeing the nearly finished design, Jiang Qize nodded in satisfaction.
Looks like Robin wasn't completely useless after all.
At his praise, a faint smile appeared on Robin's face.
Unlike in the anime, this version of Robin wasn't so guarded. She had been captured by slave traders and rescued shortly after; she hadn't gone through years of betrayal or tragedy. She didn't need to live in hiding or distrust everyone around her.
Aside from being a little shy and withdrawn, she had no other barriers left—
her heart had already opened to Jiang Qize.
