Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

The alpha Sword Horned Carnivorous Unicorn tilted its head in confusion, but it still obediently walked towards Fredrinn.

"Do you see this?" Fredrinn showed it the Void Breaking Pill.

"This thing will help you advance to the Void Tempering realm, but I don't know for sure if it will work on you. Would you like to give it a try?"

The unicorn approached him and took a sniff at the pill. When it sensed the energy inside the pill, the unicorn felt its nascent soul shaking in excitement.

Noticing the change in its mood, Fredrinn smiled. "Come here and eat this pill. If you succeed, I promise that you and your herd won't stay inside that dimension for long."

Hearing this, the unicorn showed a human-like expression as it nodded its head while emitting soft snorting sounds.

"Good!" Fredrinn tossed the pill into its mouth.

"Nyx, seal the space around the unicorn. No one must sense its presence during its advancement."

Nyx who was close by nodded upon hearing his instruction. She then made a series of hand gestures as she wielded the power of space to confine the alpha unicorn.

Fredrinn watched this unfold with a hint of expectation and nervousness. He was uncertain if this would work and the uncertainty made him a bit worried about the outcome.

At this moment, the alpha unicorn that was confined in a separate space began to refine the energy within the Void Breaking Pill.

Unlike martial practitioners who needed the aid of cultivation methods to absorb Qi, magical beasts were innately capable of absorbing it. It was as simple as breathing for them.

"For how long can you release that spell?" Fredrinn turned his gaze to Nyx.

"Not for long, but the unicorn should be able to advance before that happens. Some magical beasts with superior bloodlines advance faster compared to martial practitioners. This one is an alpha Sword Horned Carnivorous Unicorn. Its bloodline is superior among the horse species." Nyx explained with a calm face.

"I see." Fredrinn looked relieved to hear that.

After more than three hours, the unicorn finally showed signs of advancing.

It became bigger and more muscular. Furthermore, the four feathered wings on its back now had a touch of gold that gleamed with metallic light.

On its mouth were sharp rows of teeth with a pair of knife-like fangs. The most striking change it had was the sword-like horns on its head. From one horn, now it had three-bladed horns, one in the middle and the remaining two curved on either side of its head.

Fredrinn immediately used his battle scouter.

"Perfect! It worked!" He exclaimed in joy.

Nyx removed the confinement spell.

"It actually evolved into a Barbaric Blade Pegasus…" As a former top player, Fredrinn had read of information about many magical beasts with superior bloodlines. One of which was the Barbaric Blade Pegasus.

It was a special species of winged horse that came into being when a pegasus and a unicorn crossbred. However, they were very rare and it was almost impossible to find them in the wild.

"Just wait for a while. Once I go back home, I will release you and your companions." Fredrinn stroked its muscular body.

"For now, you should go back to the dimension and wait for my summon."

The pegasus looked reluctant, but it still followed his instructions.

As soon as the rift appeared, the pegasus walked in and disappeared along with it.

***

Five days went by since the advancement of the Barbaric Blade Pegasus.

Fredrinn and the other two had already mined half of the Valladium ore.

'This won't do! We need more people!' Fredrinn creased his eyebrows as he thought deeply.

He couldn't afford to wait anymore.

The fired-up miners worked faster than he had anticipated and they were close to reaching the hidden cave.

If nothing was to be done, they might discover the Valladium ore.

Fredrinn couldn't let that happen.

He wouldn't be able to escape punishment if he was discovered to be secretly mining the Valladium ore. Even worse, his family might be implicated.

'Who should I bring with me to help with the mining of Valladium?'

He thought about Alice, Olivia, and Freya. They were his close confidants. Although their cultivation was still a bit lacking, their loyalty was unquestionable.

'I should bring Bernard and the others too. Those fellows have been with me since I came to the northern borders. I can trust them.'

Bringing the three girls wouldn't be enough to increase the efficiency so he could only bring Bernard and a few others. Although it was a bit risky, he trusted the bond they shared.

"You two stay here and continue mining. I will be back soon with some reinforcements." Fredrinn said to Cain and Nyx before he stepped out of the hidden cave.

He then headed to the foot of the mountain where his troops were stationed.

Just when he was about to summon his subordinates, he caught sight of the princess walking side by side with her brother, Erevard.

The two seemed close from the way they interacted.

Fredrinn quietly walked away, but Princess Danielle immediately spotted him.

"Fredrinn!" She called out as soon as she saw him.

Fredrinn clicked his tongue and reluctantly turned his head. "Greetings, Your Highness."

Princess Danielle left her brother's side and eagerly walked towards him.

"What have you been up to lately? I rarely saw you in the past few days." She cast a suspicious glance at him. She had a feeling that he was hiding something, but she didn't voice it out since her brother was nearby.

Fredrinn smiled as he calmly responded. "What else could I be doing? I regularly inspect the surroundings to ensure the safety of the miners. Although we have repelled the Blue Sky Kingdom, we can't say for sure that they won't launch another attack."

He didn't even blink when he uttered those words.

"Danielle, you should stop bothering General Fredrinn." Erevard suddenly said, expressing a tone of disapproval.

He then smiled apologetically at Fredrinn. "Please forgive my sister for her rudeness, General Fredrinn."

"It's fine, Your Highness. I'm not offended at all. Besides, Her Highness is probably just curious about my matters." Fredrinn waved his hand.

"Thank you for your understanding and thank you for your commitment to your tasks. Your presence here is very reassuring."

"I'm just doing my job, Your Highness."
