"I finally found you, Arthur."
Tony sighed in relief.
He thought he would never find Arthur. It had taken him longer than he had thought to find him.
Who would have thought that Arthur would be this close. All he had to do was to go and find him in the opposite direction he felt he would be.
"Alright, I found you. Let's go back. I have enough dungeon points to take you back with me. Say goodbye to your girls."
Tony was proud of Arthur for finding two girlfriends, but now they had to go back.
He didn't want to get scolded by Pepper and told to sleep on the couch.
Sleeping on the couch was causing his back a lot of pain, and back pain was the most annoying thing for a person his age.
'Even though my body has become stronger because of the dungeon system, I don't think the back pain will go away. It's like a curse for middle-aged people like me.'
Arthur shook his head at Tony before speaking to him.
"I can't go back now, Tony. I have to finish my mission first. All I have to do is hunt the white whale."
"White whale? but this is not a coastal area. Where can you go and hunt white whales?"
Tony then looked at Crusch's army. They looked at Tony and Arthur with hope.
They thought that Tony might be of great help in the fight against the white whale.
If he had the same or even half of Arthur's power,
"Come with me and you'll find out. By the way, what level are you now?"
Tony was on the same level as Arthur, and that made him wonder what Tony did to get on the same level as him.
He was on the main missions and not the side missions. Tony's level shouldn't be able to keep up with him.
Tony told Jarvis to show Arthur a hologram of his fancy base.
Arthur was no longer surprised why his level was as high as his.
"Tony, you've only been in this dungeon for a little over a week, but you've already built such a large base. I'll have to tell Pepper about this."
"Come on, Arthur. You know what will happen to me if you tell Pepper about this."
The two bantered like they had a close relation, causing Emilia and Rem to wonder about their relationship and what it meant for them to go back?
"Excuse me for interrupting your conversation. My name is Emilia, and I'm Arthur's friend. What do you mean by "go back?"
Rem nodded. She also wanted to know where the two were going back to, and how far it was. Would she be able to go with them?
She swore to Arthur that she would be his maid forever, that she would never leave him.
Tony looked at Arthur.
He didn't know that Arthur hadn't told his two girlfriends anything yet.
Tony didn't care that Emilia said she was just Arthur's friend.
Everything starts from being friends.
And Rem, he knew she was head over heels for Arthur.
This dungeon was an era where polygamy was allowed, which was convenient for Arthur.
For him, it was over. He only chose Pepper.
"Let me explain to them myself."
Arthur explained to both of them that he used Dragon Magic to prevent anyone from hearing his voice.
Both were very shocked that Arthur would have to return to the distant land he had come from, which was behind the great waterfall.
"Rem will go with Master, no matter where."
Rem said with confidence that she would never leave Arthur.
Emilia had something she wanted to accomplish here, so she couldn't say out loud that she wanted to go with him.
She was in tears and didn't dare say anything for fear that Arthur would reject her.
"Don't make that face, Emilia. I can take you there, I can bring you back here too. It's no problem."
"Really? Arthur doesn't want to stop being friends with me, right?"
Arthur shook his head. There was no way he could have done that to her. He told her that she would always be his friend forever.
Tony smirked. He didn't believe Arthur's words about being friends forever.
"We'll talk about this later. Right now, we need to prepare to deal with the white whale first. And Crusch, Can we move now?"
He turned to ask Crusch, who was looking at them with interest. She looked at her army before nodding.
"Everything is ready. We can go now. But will you join us, sir?"
"My name is Tony Stark, I am the adoptive father of this brat."
"Oh, my future father-in-law. Apologize for the late introduction. My name is Crusch Karsten. I would like to court your son."
Emilia and Rem were shocked and looked at Crusch.
She was very aggressive. She had warned them to be careful. If they were not paying attention, she would immediately attack.
Tony burst out laughing before speaking to Arthur.
"I like this girl. Why don't you let her be part of our family? Crusch Karsten Stark. it sure has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?"
Tony agreed to join Arthur in hunting the white whale.
He definitely can't let his adopted son go out and have fun by himself.
As a loving adoptive father, he had to stick with Arthur to make sure he didn't have too much fun.
Arthur sighed and let Emilia explain to Tony what the white whale was.
He initially planned to surprise Tony, but after thinking about it again, it was better to be safe than sorry.
And Tony was so interested in the white whale that he wanted to collect a piece of its flesh for research purposes.
"In short, the white whale is the name of a monster that is extremely dangerous. Okay, let me join in. I have something I want to test."
Tony took another good look at Emilia before speaking.
"She's such a good girl. Emilia Stark, that name is perfect. I can't handle choosing a daughter-in-law when there are too many choices. Pepper will have to handle it herself."
Emilia blushed and tried to explain that she and Arthur were just friends, but Tony pretended to be deaf and didn't listen to what Emilia said.
As for Rem, she didn't think she was worthy of Arthur, so she didn't show any discontent when Tony teased Emilia.
She was satisfied enough to just be his maid.
Crusch looked at her army before giving the order.
It was time to hunt the white whale.
Everything was ready.
"Depart! let's go hunt that disgusting whale!"
"Yes!"
Everyone shouted, each with a different purpose for hunting the white whale, but despite their different purposes, they all had the same goal.
That was the death of the monster that destroyed everything in its path.
They must end it so no one will lose their family and loved ones because of it anymore.
The white whale really did appear according to the information that Crusch had received.
Its size was so big that its shadow could cover the entire army.
This was the first time Tony had seen something like this, and he couldn't help but feel excited about it.
Arthur also felt the same way. The real white whale and the anime were completely different.
In the real world, it looked much scarier than in the anime.
"That's the white whale. Its size is really big, just like Emilia said. However, even if it was that big, if it was attacked by my high-powered missile, it probably wouldn't survive."
Tony was very confident in his missile. This missile was something he had invented while he made the base here.
There were so many interesting resources he found in the desert.
He had to create a whole new periodic table, just for this dungeon.
Arthur looked at the white whale. He wanted to fly toward it and fight it to death.
「It's showing you contempt, Art. I think we should show it that we're not someone it can look down on.」
Great Red felt angry that her partner was being looked down upon.
Arthur couldn't understand how Great Red knew.
Maybe she could sense it through the feelings.
"I'll definitely take care of it, but for now, let's just observe. Tony wants to test his missiles. Hopefully, they're not as powerful as nuclear weapons. Otherwise, it's going to be a big problem."
Arthur looked at Tony who was talking to Crusch.
He saw that she was preparing to order her troops to attack it with her magic cannon.
He told her that he wanted to try his stuff first, and he promised that she would be amazed by its power.
Crusch was usually someone who made decisions rationally, and since Tony was Arthur's adoptive father, she considers him to be from the land beyond the great waterfall as well.
He might have something good like Arthur.
"Yes, Father-in-law, please go ahead and test what you want. I will be waiting to see."
She still called Tony father-in-law and Tony didn't want her to change the way she called him, not until Arthur himself told her to stop.
"Then watch it with your own eyes. This is the wonder of technology. Even magic must bow before it."
Tony, even though he knew magic was real, still thought that the technology was superior.
He told Jarvis to launch the missiles at the white whale immediately.
"I humbly represent you all, the jericho mark II"
The missiles were fired from a base in the desert.
They flew towards the white whale at supersonic speed.
The white whale sensed the danger and wanted to escape, but it was too late.
It had no way to dodge the attack in time.
Jericho missiles hit it directly before exploding with hundreds of combos.
Everyone who saw the missiles and the white whale that was blown up until it couldn't be seen was shocked and speechless.
The shockwave from the explosion spread out and swept through Crusch's army.
Everyone had to cover their eyes and mouths to prevent the sand from entering them.
Tony was sure that the white whale was dead, but it wasn't dead yet. It might have been injured, but it wasn't dead.
"Wow, this white whale is really tough."
Tony didn't think the white whale could survive such powerful explosions. It would have died if it hadn't used the Fog of Extinction in time.
It stared at Tony with fury. Its goal was clear.
It was going to kill Tony, who might have attacked it, with everything it had.
"Oh, shit."
That was all Tony could say. He looked at Arthur and pointed at the white whale.
"It seems that it is very angry at your beloved adoptive father who attacked it with a bunch of missiles that could destroy an entire small town."
Arthur's eyebrows twitched slightly. Tony's sense of humor was completely unreasonable.
He looked at Crusch, she nodded at him before ordering her magic cannon unit to attack the white whale immediately.
The attack happened as she wanted, but the white whale was not stupid.
It dodged the magic cannons and hid in its mist.
"That guy is smart. His intelligence is probably comparable to that of a dolphin."
Tony had Jarvis analyze its brainwaves.
If it was Jarvis from before, he probably wouldn't be able to understand the white whale.
But now Jarvis had been given a major upgrade through the dungeon system.
He could do a scan check and evaluate creatures beyond reason, such as monsters that were created from mana.
Tony was making magic, which was supposed to be beyond reason, a part of science.
If that's the case, Tony could probably accept its existence.
"It looks like it's our turn."
Arthur spoke to Great Red and Ophis. The two dragon gods could hardly bear to teach the white whale a lesson.
Arthur spread his beautiful crimson wings. When everyone saw Great Red's wings, they couldn't help but be extremely impressed.
"When did you make these wings, Arthur? They look really interesting."
Tony didn't think the wings were dragon wings because they didn't look like them.
In fact, they looked more like robot wings.
Arthur shrugged and told him.
"It's a secret."
Tony shook his head when he heard that.
"Teenagers are full of secrets. In fact, I had a lot of secrets when I was your age as well."
Tony didn't ask any further and just watched its performance.
Arthur flew into the mist. He didn't need to use magic to protect himself because the white whale's mist couldn't hurt him.
Arthur had already cast a protective spell on Tony and the others, so he didn't need to worry about the others getting hit by the stray mist.
"I got chu!"
Arthur met the white whale in the mist.
It tried to heal itself, but the damage it received from the Jericho Mark II was too much for it to heal itself completely.
Arthur took advantage of the moment when it was not ready and attacked it from above.
He used his dragon mana to attack it with full force.
[Parameter]
「Name: Whitewhle
「Level: 3」
「Pow S-990」
「End SSS-1178」
「Dex A-863」
「AGI G-215」
「MAG S-960」
It was tough and strong, but with his dragon mana, there was no way it could defend itself against his attacks.
"Since I have the power of the sin of slot, let me try using it."
Arthur wanted to try it out, but Great Red and Ophis had a great idea for him before he could try it out.
「Why don't you try putting the dragon mana into that power? I think something very interesting will happen」
「When putting the dragon mana into it. Imagine a dragon hand while using it.」
Arthur blinked, not sure if it would work together.
"Let me try it first."
Arthur tried it and it worked. Now the Hand had changed. It had become the Dragonic hand.
A large dragon hand appeared in the sky and everyone could see it clearly.
Arthur then controlled it to attack the white whale.
The attack almost tore the white whale into pieces.
Unfortunately, its tenacity was top notch.
It didn't die right away and tried to counter attack Arthur with its mist, but it was useless.
His magic resistance was greater than its attack.
Its power did nothing to Arthur.
"I want to kill you right now, but it seems like doing so would be too selfish. There are still many people who have a grudge against you, so go die by their hands."
Arthur stepped on it and pushed it hard, causing it to fall to the ground. Wilhelm, seeing this, immediately charged at it.
He saw the entire fight and knew that Arthur could kill it himself, but he wanted him and the others to have an opportunity to seek vengeance.
Wilhelm drew his sword and attacked it where it was injured, dealing additional damage.
The white whale wailed in pain. It was relentlessly attacked by the people. It slowly died. In its last seconds, it looked at Arthur with regret.
It should not look down on Arthur.
It was considered just a low-class monster compared to dragons.
The white whale hunt ended beautifully, no one was injured or died.
The pair of adoptive father and adopted son took down the white whale.
This story would surely spread throughout the kingdom.
