Chapter 81: Terror of Zephyr(1) (2/2)

Kadyn ignored him and once again turned to Hot Rod and said. ”We will talk about it after the situation calms down in the city.”

As Hot Rod nodded and Kadyn walked in another direction, leaving the father and son duo behind.

He was thinking that why the hell that damned dragon was after him, and he reached a single conclusion—

At this moment he pushed open the door of his meditation room and peered at the corner where he saw an egg. ”Hmm?” he let out a surprised muffle.

The egg, which was supposed to be white and covered in blue lines, had completely transformed. It was no more in its previous form and had changed its colour. Red. It looked as if the fire was burning inside it.

”Why its colour changed?” Kadyn thought out loud. ”Previously, its colour matched with the Zephyr so I thought it belonged to her. Now it doesn't look like her egg. What's going on?”

He strode toward the egg and held it in his hand. Shortly, he felt a burning sensation on his hand. ”Damn.” He cried as he felt a biting sensation over his hand and activated his fire element to resist the heat.

However, as soon as he tried to resist the heat coming from the egg, something even more shocking happened. His mana was sucked by the egg, before he could react his entire fire pool had depleted of mana. He tumbled back with a terrified expression.

”What the fuck is going on here?!” He was completely horrified and threw the egg on the ground in panic. His face was dark, clouded with confusion.

He thought that if the situation went out of control he would return the egg to Zephyr. However, this sudden change made Kadyn ponder over the situation again. This egg definitely did not belong to Zephyr.

Kadyn wiped the sweat from his temple and once more glanced at the egg. He moved forward once more and held it, this time he didn't activate his element to resist. On the contrary, he used authority as the shop owner to suppress the egg.

Suddenly it calmed down and its surface also cooled. Now he could hold it without worrying about burning. Kadyn looked at the egg and chuckled. ”No matter what you are and why that damn dragon is so obsessed with you. I will know it eventually.

After that, he placed the egg at the corner and once more looked at the egg before walking out of the room. However, as soon as he walked out the crimson light burst out of the egg and surrounded from all sides. If Kadyn was here he would see complex runes over the surface of the egg.

….

Roar!

As soon as he walked out of the room he heard a deafening roar that made the entire city tremble. He looked into the horizon and a serious expression appeared on his face. ”She is here at last.” He murmured. He looked around and saw everyone was present at the moment, staring in the distant sky with fearful faces.

”All of you,” as he said, everyone turned towards him. ”No matter what happens. Never step a foot outside the shop. Am I clear?”

No one replied.

Kadyn frowned and once more shouted. ”Am I clear?!”

”Ye-yes.” Hot Rod was the first one to reply. Then others also followed. Except one. Kadyn looked at Elora and asked. ”I asked, am I clear?” Elora wanted to argue with him but looking at his frowning face, she bit her lip and nodded reluctantly. Only then Kadyn's expression improved. He looked at Khrom and said. ”You look after her. Make sure she won't do something stupid.”

Then he looked at the Hot Rod. ”You are the strongest person here. If something untoward happens to any of my people. I'll hold you accountable.”

Hot Rod shrugged his shoulders and nodded. Then Kadyn turned around and dashed out of the shop. He didn't take the egg with him because he wanted to keep his bargain chip to the end with him. He would give it away only if he had no other choice. After all, he can't just watch while thousands of people are being slaughtered because of him.

Roar!

He peered in the sky and saw a dot in the distance that was moving towards Avibria city with an insane speed. As the shadow neared, Kadyn saw its appearance. ”Indeed, it's that bitch!” he cursed as he dashed towards the city walls where Barret was commanding the troops.
