Ah, the one who issued the troll request?” Vainqueur’s head perked up. The purses must contain his rewards. His hands moving like snakes, Wotan forcefully closed the dragon’s maw shut, turned around, and threw Vainqueur against the crater’s edge. Tons of stone collapsed on the dragon, keeping him down. The sharp agony of his wounded eye didn’t help either. Dragons Prefer Princesses: They're a major status symbol. They do operate on a catch and release program, though, to ensure a healthy princess population in the future. I wish there was another place where to hide,” Allison said, looking traumatized. “But Your Majesty took us by surprise.” Wotan’s upper half rose from the fiery hell too, his mantle consumed by the flames; his helmet melted on his face, changing his appearance from that of a dignified manling to an incarnation of fury. His spear had fallen during the crash, embedded into the crater’s edge. The fairy raised a hand to summon it to his side, but Vainqueur didn’t give him the time.

But I am cutting her out of my will, and you too, for the sake of fairness. I will keep everything for myself.” Oh no, you don’t!” Manling Victor charged at the barrier with his horse. Vainqueur trusted him and focused on finishing off the golem instead. The bedsheet summoner moved the Snow Dancer to intercept his chief of staff; a rift in space appeared before the horse, and the rider crossed it. Also, Your Majesty burned the local woods coming here!” minion Victor shouted to the Marquise. “On request of the Count of Provencal!”

Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Defied by Victor when he uses Pact with the Archfiends. The spell normally costs the user's soul, but Victor has several souls other than his own to spend. Calling a true dragon the “W-word,” “wyvern,” is very offensive—dragons look down on wyverns as inferior.

Odd, for me, I started the year reading books by authors I'd read before. And then I randomly acquired this one and read it by an author I'd not read before. I was cleaning shelves. This was on one of my maybe shelves, started reading sample and ended up buying and reading. The setting was pretty generic fantasy stuff, even with recycled naming conventions that some people might call homage, but I can't help but call lazy writing. Ok, werewolves in a forest named Gevaudan, a place called Prydain... I prefer people make up their own names for things or at least hide the Easter eggs a little better for the fans to feel a sense of achievement for noticing them. Minion!” Vainqueur summoned his friend to his side when no one answered. Manling Victor appeared next to the dragon, a strange, worried look on his face. “Here you are!” Dragon Rider: Repeatedly defied by Vainqueur, who insists that it gives the rider the false impression of being above dragons, but played straight by Kia on Jolie. Vainqueur changes his mind in the climax, seeing the rider not as a commander but as an extension of the dragon. In his case, he's certainly not wrong, given all the buffs he receives from Victor's Chaos Rider class. Your Majesty did it!” Manling Victor congratulated his master. “I knew you could shrug that curse off!”The LitRPG side is consistently present, but this isn’t a crunchy book by any means. Levels and classes are where it’s at. But those are really more for opening storytelling doors. VERY soft magic system would be a good way to think of it. Genre Savvy: Akhenapep's defining character trait. In this Verse, he wrote the Evil Overlord List (calling each entry a "stratagem" instead), lives by every entry, and teaches it in lectures to up-and-coming evil overlords. Shesha, goddess of commerce, hates him, because her resurrection business has crashed as a result of villains following comprehensive body disposal procedures. Finally, as he sensed the lava below, Vainqueur opened his mouth and unleashed a fireball right in that dirty fomor’s face. Releasing his hold as the blast hit, the dragon propelled Wotan towards the crater, carried by a giant fireball. He sniffed his chief of staff and noticed the smell of Tasty Malfy and Untasty Allison on him. He would have shrugged it off as the consequence of close proximity, but the scent seemed a bit too strong.
