Chapter 159 Dragon's Oath
[Dragonsworn Paladin] is a sub-class of the faction derived from the Paladin. Naturally, like the Paladin, it needs to swear an oath and use the power of the oath to cast holy oath spells.

[Please create the oath of the faction sub-class.]
Cassius thought for a moment, and considering the specific situation of the Burning Kingdom, he referred to the Oath of Conquest when creating it.

The flames danced in the air, forming lines of messy words.

【Dragon's Creed】

Paladins who take the Dragon's Oath have the Dragon's Creed branded on their upper arms.

Extinguish Hope: It is not enough to defeat your enemy in battle. Your victory must be so overwhelming that it permanently shatters their will to fight. The sword ends lives, but fear ends nations.

Enforce order with an iron fist: Once you have conquered, do not tolerate any dissent. Those who follow the kingdom's order will be treated favorably and become honored, while those who resist the kingdom's order will be punished and reduced to ash as a warning to others.

The Dragon Lord is above all else: Cassius Klauberu Noricius is the sole lord of your blood, spirit, and even soul. You must obey all the Red Dragon's orders unconditionally until the end of time, otherwise you will destroy yourself.

Cassius ordered:

"Say your vows."

"Yes, Master."

Fried half-knelt on the ground, looking up at the words in the air, and suddenly recalled the moment twelve years ago when he swore to become a Lionheart Knight.

At that time, the young and strong Archduke Leo had just completed the great cause of the Lionheart Alliance. He placed the sword on his shoulder in high spirits and bestowed the supreme glory on the Lionheart Knight.

But now, times have changed. He has become a follower of the evil dragon that makes the entire north tremble, and is about to become a minion of the red dragon to conquer the world.

But Fried only sighed in his heart, without too many complicated emotions. After looking at his true face, he clearly realized that he was just a guy who put profit above all else, and was never the kind of knight that Tariq expected.

He calmly recited the oath:

"Extinguish the flame of hope, enforce order with an iron fist, the Dragon Lord is above all else."

Along with the sound of burning, the three words made up of flames were imprinted on his upper arm, forming a charred mark with faint flames.

"very good."

The red dragon pressed the sharp tip of its claws against Freed's arm, piercing his skin before he could even use force, causing blood to seep from the contact.

The blood made the oath on Freed's hand flash with fire.

It is connected to the power of the red dragon, forming a bond with the dragon's magical essence, ultimately creating a unique holy oath spell.

And that is the effect of [Dragon's Oath].

The camp sub-professions are completed.

[Dragonsworn Paladin]:
[The Dragonsworn Paladins are a special group of paladins. Some of them pursue great power, some pursue long life, some desire war and conquest, and hope to be baptized by blood and fire. But they all have one thing in common - they are loyal to the master of the Burning Kingdom, the red dragon Cassius.

Dragonsworn paladins have abandoned their former righteousness, decorating their armor with trophies from fallen enemies, and using fire to bestow the most brutal death on their enemies as a terrible warning to anyone who dares to resist the decrees of their dragon master. Unlike the oath of a normal paladin, those who violate their oath do not become oathbreakers, but will burn their bodies and souls at the same time, dying in the most painful way.

When the roar of the dragon resounds across the land, the Dragonsworn Paladins appear from the horizon in formation. They will mercilessly give the enemy the most tragic end and offer a blood sacrifice to their dragon master.]
[In addition to the basic abilities of the Paladin, the Dragonsworn Paladin will gain additional features]
[Level 3 will gain features: [Dragon Oath Spell] [Guided Dragon Power: Dragon Clan Majesty] [Guided Dragon Power: Dragon Vein Connection]]
[【Dragon Majesty】: You can use your dragon power to display terrifying majesty. If the enemy fails the save, they will fall into fear and tremble for up to one minute.]
[【Dragon Vein Link】: You can use your guided dragon power to create a dragon vein chain, connecting with other Dragonsworn Paladins. You will share all the damage you take, and whenever you take damage, the dragon vein chain will emit flames, continuously burning nearby enemies.]
[At level 6, you gain the feature granted by your sacred oath: [The Dragon Lord is born]]
【Dragon Lord Descends】

When twelve or more Dragonsworn Paladins recite the Dragon's Oath at the same time, they can summon a red dragon phantom made of flames, which can carry the will of Cassius. The appearance and abilities of the red dragon phantom are a replica of Cassius, and its strength is determined by the number and strength of the Dragonsworn Paladins who use their abilities, with the upper limit being Cassius's body.

[At level 9, you gain the characteristic granted by your sacred oath: [Blazing Aura]]
[Fiery Aura] You will continue to emit a fiery aura when you are not in a powerless state. This aura will cause the surrounding temperature to rise sharply, increase fire damage, burn enemies, and make you excited. When enough Dragonsworn Paladins emit a fiery aura at the same time, it can even cause a volcanic eruption.

After browsing the information of the Dragonsworn Paladin, Cassius exhaled a breath of sulfur.

"A very good camp sub-profession."

“And there seems to be a familiar feeling.”

Cassius thought for a moment, then ordered Freed to use his newfound ability.

"Yes, Master."

Fried naturally did as he was told and released that power.

[Guiding Dragon Power: Dragon Clan’s Majesty]

A familiar dragon power emanated from him, but it was much weaker than that of the red dragon.

"continue."

[Guided Dragon Power: Dragon Vein Connection]

A red spirit chain was wrapped around his body, emitting a scorching aura, but it had no connection to any other target.

Cassius watched the display of these abilities, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a strange light flashed in his golden vertical pupils.

"Sure enough."

“It’s an extension of my strength.”

When this faction's sub-profession was created, Cassius felt that his power had gained some kind of extension and could be transmitted to these Dragonsworn Paladins through blood connections.

Every time Fried cast the Dragon's Holy Oath spell, Cassius could feel the presence of this power.

This is not a theft of one's own power, but an extension and manifestation of the red dragon's powerful magical nature.

“This form is a bit like”

"Magic?"

Cassius thought so.

But the gods are still too far away from him after all. He is now more pleased about the birth of another powerful sub-class of the faction, and the emergence of a great helper for the Kingdom of Burning Ashes.

"Fred, I order you to build the Dragon Oath Hall in North Wind Castle and train more Dragon Oath Paladins as soon as possible."

"Yes, Master."

Freed knelt on one knee and gladly accepted the order.
