Chapter 129 - How Do I Return? (1/2)
(Tom's PoV)
I sighed. ”Putra Semesta, or can I call you Putra? Surely you don't want me to call you Semesta, right?”
Putra glared at me even more viciously. ”Putra Semesta. Don't even think to call me just one word!” He spat out angrily.
”Well, Putra, what is this chain?” Obviously, I ignored his warning. Putra Semesta was just too long to say! There's no way I would tire myself with calling him Putra Semesta all the time. Like it or not, he must accept it!
As I predicted, his face scrunched up in anger when he heard me calling him Putra. ”Don't make it short! It sounds like I'm such a weak human and I don't like it! My name is Putra Semesta, I'm the terrifying Death Volcano, how could you call me like I'm a tiny puny weak human child?!”
I nodded. What he said did make sense. But, this child seriously had a bad temper. How could he shout and yell as he liked?
A thin layer of smoke emitted from the boy's body as the red markings on him glowed. He really was similar to the chain in this aspect.
”Just accept it. Calling you Putra Semesta is too long. Either I call you Putra, or Ireng, your choice.” I smirked.
The boy stopped emitting smokes as he stared at me suspiciously. ”What is Ireng?”
”It means Black.” My grin turned wider as I watched his already dark face darkened even more.
”Don't you dare! My name is Putra Semesta!” He bellowed.
”Ireng.” I casually said.
”Putra--”
”Ireng.”
”Pu--”
”Ireng.”
”FINE!” He shouted and I grinned. ”Putra is fine.” He gritted his teeth and I watched his changing expressions in amus.e.m.e.nt.
”That's a good boy! Now tell me, what is this chain?” I tugged on the chain around his body.
Putra snorted. ”It was made from the rock from the deepest volcano that was always surrounded by the hottest magma of Death Volcano. The first Guardian picked it up and turned it into chains to bind the next Guardian of Death Volcano. It is also to bind some immoral humans who only know to create trouble on mountains, to be the source of heat for Death Volcano.”
This kid was unexpectedly obedient after I tamed him. Even though he still put on angry face, but he spilled everything I needed to know in one go.
”Does it have consciousness?”
Putra shot me a look as if I was an idiot by asking an obvious question. ”Of course. Do you think it is an ordinary chain? How do you think it could find you?”
I arched my left eyebrow. Can somebody explain to me how a mere rock could have consciousness?
Putra must have known what I had in mind as he sneered. ”How could a rock have a consciousness. Of course it didn't have consciousness, you stupid human. It has consciousness only after the first Guardian made it into chains and put some enchantments in it. My first Guardian was that powerful, it was a piece of cake for him to turn an ordinary object into mystical weapon.”
Even though he sounded like he was scolding me, I could detect a hint of proudness in his tone.
