Chapter 176 Demi-Dragon

It had been a few weeks since the day Daedalus and Richard met Hephaestus for the second time. Daedalus had managed to convince Andromeda and Grite to teach what they could to Richard. After that Daedalus left to get back to his exploration.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daedalus could be seen running through a forested area chasing an animal. This forest that he was in a part of the known beast lands. This area was known as the known beast lands because their where maps of the area. There where many of these locations though usually just partially mapped.

Daedalus was here because of a quest sent from the adventurers guild. It was a B rank quest to chase down and capture rather than kill a C rank beast. The only reason Daedalus even bothered was actually because the beast caught his attention. At first it was just the description that got him curious however after finding it he realised that it actually had a dragon based bloodline.

Daedalus of course did not want it for the bloodline but instead he was going to see how powerful it's bloodline was and if it was good enough he would send it back to the grand Amatas Empire to become a guardian beast.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a short chase in order to gauge it's speed Daedalus gave it a ranking of its own, around peak C rank and low B rank. So with his gauging completed Daedalus sped up and caught the small beast in his hands.

Daedalus then spent his entire walk back observing the now surprisingly docile beast. It was a young male demi-dragon snake, this ment that it was about the same strength as a wyvern but far more rare. It was also around five months old and its bloodline was a surprisingly good quality. In his estimations Daedalus felt that the young demi-dragon was capable of being a guardian beast for the grand Amatas Empire.

So with that done Daedalus went back to the guild and told the lady at the counter "I would like to resign from this quest."

As he said that he put the small paper on the counter. The lady looked at the quest and then back at Daedalus where she paused for a second and said "Wait, isn't that the beast required for the quest though?"

Daedalus nodded and said "Yes, but I am keeping him."

The lady frowned for a second but nodded and removed the quest from his name. Just as she was putting it back on the board a man walked over and snatched it up while saying "Sign me up for this request."

The lady of course did that and the man turned to Daedalus who was now playing with the young demi-dragon. The man's lip twitched upwards into a sneer and he said "Hey kid hand over the beast, I am an A rank adventurer!"

Daedalus didn't even look at him as he pulled out a guild card of his own and showed it to the man. The man instantly paled and said "I am sorry sir I will leave immediately."

The man turned to the lady and said "Take my name off, now!"

Daedalus card had shown the man that he was far below in strength. Daedalus card showed that he was a SS rank adventurer, something almost unheard of.
