Chapter 204: ch 200 Final preparations-1
Though, there remained one hurdle he would need to cross—something the being had warned him about earlier. With his two unique abilities, he could sense that some unknown limit still held him back, likely placed by that same being. He couldn’t help but wonder when—or what—that final test would be
Still, he felt far calmer now than he had 14 days ago. The nagging feeling, the shadow of looming threat—it was gone. It was as if his very dragon instincts were telling him that he was more than prepared for whatever lay ahead.
He wasn’t worried about it—not exactly—but he remained cautious. That nagging feeling had faded quite some time ago, yet that didn’t mean he’d face whatever lay ahead lightly. Kallus had learned something valuable from his previous life on Earth. It hadn’t been a great life, and he hadn’t achieved much, but he had played many strategy games—games that demanded intellect and foresight to win.
He had learned the hard way. Many in-game missions had ended in failure, not because he was weak, but because he had been arrogant. He thought he had the right to win, and that overconfidence had cost him dearly. The enemy had been better prepared, more cunning. His arrogance had blinded him, leading to huge losses—losses that had taken months to recover from.
To others, it was just a game. But to him, those games had been lessons—brutal, necessary lessons.
It was a lesson he had learned—and learned well. One he would never repeat. Not when he knew nothing about the enemy, their capabilities, or what cards they held, let alone how dangerous those cards could be if used against him.
If he had that information—if he knew every detail—he might have been more at ease. But he didn’t. He knew absolutely nothing. And that meant one thing: he had to be more cautious now than ever before.
Though Kallus remained cautious, he wasn’t afraid—not for himself, and not for anyone in his fleet. Only he truly understood the strength they carried. It wasn’t just about numbers. The quality of his ships, already exceptional, had advanced to a level that most would call impossible. Unachievable, even. But he knew better.
He had full confidence in the technology behind his fleet. It wouldn’t fail him.
Tyler and his team of borderline-mad scientists had made breakthrough after breakthrough in magi-tech—fusing magic and engineering in ways no one had done before. Their work had pushed his ships’ capabilities into entirely new territory. In truth, even Kallus didn’t know the full extent of the power a single ship now held, let alone what a hundred thousand of them could unleash.
