Chapter 622: Roland’s Demise (1/2)
I felt a bit down hearing that. I looked at the area between the Winged Silver Dragon’s legs but couldn’t find any identifiable parts. I tried to check its level, but literally all of its stats were hidden by question marks, meaning that its level was leagues ahead of mine. If Xinran wasn’t here, I would’ve run away a long time ago. From what I heard from Xinran, this dragon would never let a weak dragon slayer like me escape.
“Big brother?” Xinran cocked her head at me while asking, “What do you want to do? This dragon’s fate is in your hands…”
I pondered for a moment before replying, “How about you make it your mount instead?”
“Oh? But why? It’s a brutal creature,” Xinran asked in surprise.
I took a few seconds to organize my thoughts before answering, “It is exactly because this dragon is cunning and brutal that it needs you to be its tamer. You’ll be able to save a lot of time and energy if you use this Winged Silver Dragon as your mount, and it won’t be able to harm anyone with you keeping a tight rein on it. Also, you’ve always been fighting alone, and I think you’ll be safer if you have a powerful dragon by your side…”
Xinran blushed and giggled. She hugged me again and said, “Are you worrying about my safety, big brother? Tell me!”
I smiled helplessly at her and nodded. “You often travel back and forth between the God Domain and the purgatory, so of course I’m worried about you. This Winged Silver Dragon might be an incredibly ugly bastard, but as a mount it’s a pretty good choice.”
Xinran nodded and looked at the Winged Silver Dragon. She said, “Akachi, you are a despicable bastard, but I’m giving you a chance to live right now. Will you abandon your sinful ways and become my mount? Or will you die?”
Akachi nodded hurriedly, “It is my honor to become the mount of the goddess of purgatory!”
“Very well!”
Xinran smiled sweetly before turning toward me. “Big brother, it’s been a long time since you came to God Domain to see me!”
I was about to say something when I noticed a gleam of cruelty flashing across the Winged Silver Dragon’s eyes. Ice condensed around its horn without warning, and it attempted to skewer Xinran from behind!
“Xinran, watch out!” I shouted in a hurry.
My worry turned out to be unnecessary. Seemingly knowing that the dragon would try to ambush her, she turned around and parried the attack with ease. Then, she grabbed the dragon’s horn and said in a menacing tone, “You dare act up against me, you stupid dragon?”
Crack! The horn was crushed by her bare hands just like that. What strength! The Winged Silver Dragon immediately groaned in pain.
I was glad to see that both Xinran’s insight and power were absolutely stronger than the Winged Silver Dragon’s. No matter how unruly this dragon might be, it would never be able to harm her.
“Ohh, my goddess, I swear I’ll serve you loyally for eternity!” The Winged Silver Dragon screeched. “But please, hit anywhere but my face, I beg you! I am an exceptionally handsome male among the dragons, so please don’t hit my face…”
Xinran punched it a couple more times before she finally stopped. She warned, “If you dare to attack me or my big brother ever again, Akachi, I swear I’ll refine your soul into a horse hoof and gift it to the dirtiest human brave. I will make sure that you suffer the biggest humiliation in a human’s hands and trample your so-called princely pride to nothing!”
The Winged Silver Dragon screamed, “My master, my goddess, my loyalty is sworn to you for eternity. Please, do not doubt your loyal servant any longer…”
Finally relaxing, Xinran bit open her index finger before placing a bloody palm on top of Akachi’s head. As she chanted the words of a master-slave contract, the dragon begged, “My beloved master, can we sign a beast contract instead? A master-slave contract is too rude for the likes of—”
Xinran’s eyes turned chilly. “One more word and I’ll chop your head off!”
“Oh, okay, my cute master…”
The Winged Silver Dragon finally submitted to its fate and signed the master-slave contract.
I still warned Xinran. “Keep a tight leash on this dragon like you would a rabid dog!”
Xinran nodded. “I know, big brother…”
……
The Winged Silver Dragon obediently curled next to Xinran. When it tried to rub its ugly ass head against her smooth legs, Xinran kicked it away without hesitation before hugging my arm. “So, big brother, you haven’t come to see me in a long time. There must be something you want from me since you came all the way to God Domain, am I right?”
I nodded. “Yep. I would like to receive a quest from you. Do you have any to offer me, Xinran?”
“A quest?” Xinran stuck her tongue at me. “What if I send you to kill the Nine Sovereigns of Hell?”
I shuddered. “Something easier, please!”
