Chapter 200
The whole Royal Family is at the door, greeting their unexpected guests when Beta John carries me to the castle, laughing with some Celestial soldiers we met along the way.
I notice every Lycan has a single glove hanging from their clothing with runes drawn on it. That must be their technique to slow the pursuit. I didn’t get a chance to see it in action, as we were too busy freeing others to stop and fight. The Lycans can break free on their own, but it often takes an hour or more, putting them essentially out of the game.
These Lycans are also larger than the ones on Earth, the men standing between 2.5 and 3 meters tall. Maybe we’re supposed to grow with cultivation? Dominant and more powerful Lycans grow larger than their peers back home, but for some reason that doesn’t apply to me. I’m still short.
Amanda leads me upstairs to change into one of the new dresses we had made, before hurrying back down to join the party. And a party it is. Almost a thousand players from each side are present, including the Crown Prince of the Celestial Kingdom, representing his father, who was unable to come along today. Alpha Marco is a huge man, possibly half giant and half Lycan, he’s every bit as tall as the biggest Nephilim.
The Celestials have all picked a uniform height of 2.5 meters, but I recall the man who tackled us being much larger than he currently is, so their size isn’t set. They’ve got bright platinum hair, light golden skin and entirely black eyes with golden flecks like stars in them, just as mine currently look.
Beta John grabs me from where I’m talking about alchemy with one of the Celestials to stand on a table and hold me in the air.
"A toast! To our newest player, and late game MVP. Katrina! She is the Black Dragon Priestess that freed so many of our blockers, enabling a new record to be set today." He calls out to the crowd who howls their approval.
I look over at the Alpha and the Princess, who is wearing the flag as a cape over her gown and stealthily holding his hand under the table. The room fills with cheers and good natured laughter before I am set back on the table and the Alpha signals me to give a speech of some sort.
"Thank you all for having me in your game. I joined in when you reached this very castle, where I’m a guest visiting from the Mortal Planes. It was my honor to participate and I wish you both the best of luck."
