Chapter 104 - I Want To Keep Him

Alan shook his head and then he said to him : "There is nothing about legendary creatures in the Sun Sect library, the only records on these creatures are in the library of the capital's Academy."

Kevin nodded, feeling a little frustrated, and then he thought of something ... He opened his magic bag and pulled out the blanket that was previously on the bed of their guest room.

He curled it up and formed a crater with it, he then put the egg in it, at least it would give him some warmth, that was usually what animals did, right ?

Axel asked Kevin curious about his behavior : "Why did you do that babe ?"

Kevin just said : "To keep him warm."

Erik asked them then : "Are we really going to keep him, wouldn't it be better to hand him over to Liam ?"

Axel shook his head : "And how would we tell him that we found a phoenix egg ?"

Erik and Alan looked at them a little embarrassed and Alan finally confessed to them : "We had to tell him that we have looted a purple dungeon … He was afraid that we had fought against another Sect and he would have continued to worry for nothing if we hadn't tell him the truth."

Kevin who still hadn't met this Liam yet, was becoming to be more and more intrigued by this man, he said : "So, you think that by telling him that we found this egg inside the purple dungeon it would be a plausible explanation ..."

Axel then said to them : "I want to keep him."

Seeing that they were all looking at him surprised, even Kevin, he explained : "After all, the System has always given us things we needed, maybe we will need a phoenix later with us, this possibility cannot be neglected."

Alan then said to him : "Okay, this is what I propose to you ... We keep this egg for the moment, and we wait to see what Liam can teach us about the phoenixes, we will decide what to do with him once we know a little bit more."

Everyone agreed with that, and they also agreed to tell Liam about it.

Axel was right about the System rewards, but having to rise a legendary creature seemed a little scary when you thought about it.

Axel seeing that no one was saying anything, decided to open the last box.

Kevin read aloud what was inside.

[ HIGH GRADE BOX ]

- 12 000 gold coins

- Dagger high grade : + 200 Strength points, + 80 Agility points, + 50 Stamina points.

- 50 lava stones

Kevin then repeated : "50 lava stones ? Do you know what are they ?"

The three of them shook their heads and Kevin too curious to hold back, took a stone from the box and a notification popped up immediately.

[ ITEM ]

Lava Stone : Contains the sacred fire of the phoenix, the particles of fire and light have united creating this mutation, this fire is unique and devastating.

Why did the System send us 50 of these stones ? Could it be related to this egg ? And how can we use these stones anyway ?

All of these questions were running through his mind and a new message popped up just below the first one.

Lava stones are used as a nutriment for the new generation of phoenixes, the egg must be surrounded by these stones at all times to be able to absorb their power.

When the stones turn black, they need to be changed.

Wow, Kevin thought, he still had the lava stone in his hand and he took a closer look at it, it was of an orange-red color and it wasn't hot, actually, he felt absolutely nothing when he was holding it, as if it was an ordinary stone.

After Kevin read the information to everyone, Axel then exclaimed triumphantly : "See, I had told you that the System wanted us to keep him ... I guess when he will have consumed the 50 lava stones the egg will hatch."

Kevin thought that Axel was a little too enthusiastic about keeping this egg, but he didn't want to spoil his fun by telling him that they had to be careful.

However, he wondered if it was being able to have a legendary creature that could fight alongside them, or being able to raise one that excited him so much.

Kevin had to admit to himself that he was torn between being a little scared that this was a legendary creature and what if they couldn't control him when he would grow up ... And, the fact that he was also feeling excited that with this legendary creature he would be able to form a true family with Axel.

He had already thought about adopting a child in his past life, but because of the life he had and the danger it represented, he had given up on this dream, sometimes a dream could only remained a dream.

Being able to have his own family had always been an unattainable dream for him, but now thanks to Axel, anything seemed possible.

Axel snapped him out of his thoughts by taking his hand and asking him : "Are you feeling alright babe ? You suddenly turned quite pale ..."

Kevin looked at him startled and he tried to stand up to check if he still felt okay, but as soon as he tried to move, his felt dizzy and he cursed.

He immediately sat down and put his head in his hands to try to stop the dizziness he was feeling.

Axel moved closer to him and he put his arm around his shoulders feeling completely helpless as he didn't see how he could help his man to get better.

Kevin finally raised his head and leaned on Axel's body, he didn't understand why he was still so tired so he asked Alan : "Alan, why can't my necklace stabilize my mental fatigue ... I thought that thanks to it I would be able to recover faster.

But I still feel so exhausted !"

Alan shook his head and gave him his theory : "Your necklace can handle your mental fatigue due to meditation or some overuse of your Soul force, but the power you used to fight this Elite Warrior Vampire is beyond, by far, the capabilities of your necklace.

You should be happy that you have already regained consciousness ... Axel, we have finished dividing the loot, the dagger goes to Kevin of course, and we will take care of positioning the lava stones around the egg, don't worry.

What I said about Kevin also applies to you, go and rest together, we will stay here in case you need anything."
