Ferdinand had a grief expression on his face. How’d you know?’ written all over their faces. Even if Ferdinand tried to be subtle, it wasn’t subtle enough for him.“Pardon me, I don't quite understand what you are trying to say here.” Ferdinand maintained his awkward smile.Draco regarded Ferdinand with a bemused expression. “Look who’s all grown up, trying to lie to me and all.”“... It’s been a while,” Ferdinand was dumbstruck, filling the silence with whatever words linked up on his tongue.“Sure.” Draco acknowledged his statement.“You look… powerful.” Ferdinand hadn’t seen the old dragon since the reign of the old tyrant king… no, a couple of years ago when he asked for the nails. Draco hadn’t aged a day, his skin covered in bright ink, his eyes liquid tar, his arrogant face.“You look so much like your father,” Draco noted. “The old tyranny who dares to injure my baby son.” He ground his teeth at the last sentence. “I hear they call you the Ambitious Emperor of The Unknown now.
Draco threw the unconscious Jamal over his shoulder and smacked his butt. His long hair was cut short to uphold the agreement.“Ugh~” The unconscious man grunted.It made Draco laugh sadistically while Ferdinand acted blind.“Our business ends here.” Ferdinand’s face was radiant the brightest while holding the fist of Draco’s hair.Draco cut half of his long hair, now it was shoulder length.Draco gazed at him, face unreadable. His beautiful long eyelids fluttered.Flap!His grey wings were instantly freed.“Thank you for the hair.” Ferdinand immediately bowed to the old dragon, face filled with happiness.Draco arrogantly stared at him before asking.“Son, have you fallen in love?”Ferdinand froze at the sudden attack.“It wasn’t only a colossal crush, innit?”Spot on! Ferdinand’s eyes moved around violently, looking anywhere except at the old dragon.“I can see that. She is cute, petite, and a great beauty. The kind of beauty that no one can ever possess.” Draco approved. “I’ve met
“Muahahahahaha.”“I love it.”“See… perfect.”“I love this so damn much!”The elves and the dwarves were buzzing with excitement in the early morning. Despite lacking sleep, they were as lively as ever.“Do you wish to inspect my new bow and arrows?”“Oh, sure, why not. In exchange, I’ll let you feel the greatness of the shield.” Miley offered her items and David followed suit.Miley held the small sphere in her hand and wasn't sure how to play with this so-called shield.“I don’t think this is shie– useful to me.” He studied it earnestly.“Supply your magic into the sphere,” Julian answered in his king’s stead, who was already making an adjustment to the bow. “Do you wish to make an adjustment, oh my hardworking king?” “I can still improve the durability of the bow.” He knocked the bow with his knuckle lightly. “Did you hear that?”Apparently, it created some sort of sound that only dwarves distinguished. Even if Shadow heard it, she wouldn’t know what. The sound was only visible t
Shadow pondered for a moment. She was sitting on the massive stone that Draco sat on previously.Malikul was sitting below her, sitting against the stone, holding her ankle for that matter. The silence was too imminent, although no one dared to open their lips. Therefore, instead of worrying over useless things, the elves and the dwarves sat far from the couple and started to enjoy their free time and show off their new creations. Miley and David were whispering with each other, crouching with each other, and drawing something on the floor.David was having a feast while caressing the bow. He made his intention to upgrade the already upgraded bow known to Miley. Of course, Milye cooperated. Soon, Julian and Juviana joined them whispering about another necessary upgrade.Shing!Again, the transparent shield was activated for no damn reason.Shadow watched as the shield covered the area they were sitting. It was beautiful. It wasn’t a normal shield. It was an energy shield that protec
“Our attack is simple.” Shadow started.They were already in the air, moving faster than before.Thanks to their short rest, King and Double had plenty of rest. Malikul also seemed well-rested. The wings flapped strongly, indicating that the weariness had already vanished. Also, the only reason she explained everything in the air was that it was easier. There would be no spies around them and she could say everything without a filter. Although she could use telepathy, she refused to do so. Julian and David didn’t know about it and she had no reason to reveal it to them without an equal exchange.“You all will help me to create as many spatial doors as possible. What is the magic level of the dwarves?” She asked just to be certain.“Our magic isn’t strong enough to the lion’s but it is manageable.” It was a vague statement. Shadow couldn’t measure it accurately.“From one to hundreds.” She gave them a choice. “Which level?”David pondered thoughtfully. “30%... I guess?”It wasn’t a
Shadow scoffed at their stupid reaction. “Are you sure they are talented?” She folded her hands over her chest.When Syasya gruntled with a choking noise, Shadow only stared at her unapologetically. “Sorry, my love,” Malikul was too ashamed to say anything. “They are smart at best.”Shadow turned around and ambled away. “Being smart is not enough if you can’t survive in this world. Pathetic.” She released the girl from misery.Disregarding his own people, his voice was laced with excitement. “They are the best amongst the best within their peers.”“Shame.” “Why? Do you wish to play with them?”Shadow nudged his ribcage. “Don’t use me for your own benefit.”Whatever he said, he had only one goal in mind. He wanted to use Shadow to increase his crewmates' strength. Unluckily, she was long retired. Her plate was already occupied with countless regimens for her family members. Any more than that would wake up her super sadistic side.It was the fucked up version that the Underworld had
Ferdinand opened his eyes. He could feel the sudden cold sensation caressing his whole body. He hadn’t slept for two days to complete the potion. He only took a couple of minutes to shut his eyes before he felt something was wrong.He turned his head to the boiling potion. They needed another half day to complete it. With him, Vilfredo, and Freddie while Dennis was governing the kingdom through the papers.They were on the ground, ten feet below. According to his judgment, nothing could go wrong… or he thought.His body alerted at the rising danger that was approaching at the highest speed. The other three rose sharply as their eyes stared at the ceiling with alarmed expressions.“Is everything–”BAM!The ground above shook violently resulting in the lamps on the ceiling shaking violently and the ground beneath them slightly quivered. BAM!Yet, another attacked, this time it was so close to them. Just above their heads.All of them lowered their bodies and protected their heads from
Dennis growled, his deep rumble resonated within his throat and transferred all over his body and lastly to the ground.Rumble~The ground rumbled.“Dennis!” Freddie shouted.As he remembered, he stopped. “YOU!!!” His high-pitch rumble was shouted at the sky instead. “I will kill you all!!!”“Prepare!” Wan summoned his water magic. The girls were summoning their range of floral magic. Uca was rose petals, Qila was leaves and Syasya was poisonous petals.Izat was protecting themselves with wind magic, acting like a shield. On the other hand, Akmal pointed his rifle at the dragons. Sharpshooter magic. The accuracy was over the top.“We can’t move from the spot. Whatever it is. Even if we have to use our bodies and souls.” Wan said desperately to his members.The command was coming from Shadow, literally the deviser of the plan. Who knew what they would get from this fight?“Roger that!” Seemed like they had similar thoughts.ROOOOOOAR!Dennis changed his semi-humanoid. Half dragon and
