557 So you're sulking

Dilan then looked at him with a frown and he asked him, "Do you really want to spend our evenings training in dungeons?" n0velUsb.C0m

Phil smiled at him and he said as he took off his shirt before changing into a Drakonit right in front of him, "Why, don't you want to?"

Dilan then sighed and he looked away while telling him, "I already told you, I'm too old to be able to reach level 200, and going to loot purple dungeons only the two of us is pure madness... Even though I don't doubt your abilities, mine are really too rusty."

Phil then said to him, "I don't know why you underestimate yourself like that but I'll prove to you that you're wrong and that you're still a great fighter."

Phil motioned for him to follow him and before leaving he said, "Follow me, or I won't hesitate to carry you..."

He had said this while taking his chin so Dilan would finally look at him as he was fleeing his gaze and then he asked him even though he knew that wasn't the problem, "Do I disgust you that much when I turn into a Drakonit?"

Dilan immediately replied as he pushed his hand that was holding his chin, "You know it's not that... But have you thought about the fact that looting dungeons, while it may seem fun to you, isn't necessarily fun to me."

Phil then said to him as he placed a finger on his cheek and slowly moved it down to the veins at the base of his neck where his Drakonit dreamed of sinking his fangs into, "I see, so you're sulking is that it?"

Dilan then looked at him and a glint of fury had appeared in his eyes as he said in a cold neutral tone, "Believe what you want... I'm going home..."

But Phil stopped him from using the teleportation talisman he had just pulled out and he told him, "Dilan, trust me! Beyond the fact that you'll obviously gain a lot of levels by looting purple dungeons, I'm really doing this to show you that you've forgotten what it's like to be a fighter, and I'm sure deep down you miss it a lot.

You told me yourself that during the battle of the Royal Palace, thinking they were doing the right thing, the demons and the men under your command kept on protecting you... You see, even they have forgotten who you really are, because they have all become accustomed to seeing you direct operations from afar.

Come with me Dilan, I'm not here to judge you, I just want you to be able to fight the way you want to... And if you're still not satisfied at the end of this purple dungeon, then I won't bother you with it anymore."

Phil then gave him back the teleportation Talisman he had taken from him and Dilan sighed before finally saying, "Okay for this time, but assume your choice and let me fight, don't babysit me or I will really get mad at you!"

Phil nodded and as Dilan finally accepted his offer, he headed for one of the weaker purple dungeons and Dilan followed him without adding anything.

Phil could still feel that Dilan wasn't exactly thrilled to be here, but he was sure he would change his mind once he started fighting.

Anyway, if he really wanted to continue on this path and build something with Dilan, he had no choice... Sharing his Drakonit powers with him by marking him, would ensure him a longer life but it wouldn't make him immortal and one day Dilan would eventually die... So he really hoped that he was right about Dilan and that being able to fight freely without being judged by anyone would give him back his confidence in his fighting abilities and that he would enjoy it.

And luckily his instincts had not deceived him, and while Dilan faced hordes of Warrior Goblins and the weaker Elite Warrior Goblins, he had allowed him to kill all the others and so in each of the rooms they went to, Phil would always first get rid of the General Goblins when there were any and then he would kill all the Elite Warrior Goblins which were too close to Dilan's level and who could be a danger to him.

After a hard fight and once the room was emptied of the Goblins' bodies, Dilan finally sat down on the floor to rest, and even though his breathing was ragged and he was drenched in sweat, he began to smile in spite of himself and Phil then handed him a legendary grade healing potion to heal the wounds on his body and to give him back his strength.

Dilan accepted the potion and drank it immediately and then Phil sat down beside him and he said to him, "See, I told you so... It feels good, doesn't it?"

Dilan then looked at him with a dazzling smile on his face and eyes sparkling with life, which put his nerves to the test, and Dilan said to him, "Okay, I have to admit that it's kind of fun to be able to fight in a purple dungeon with you, and you kept your word by letting me fight without interfering so I really don't have anything to complain about."

Phil then told him, "The?dungeon boss is in the next room, it's just him and his henchmen, all of them are a little too strong for you, but I would still let you give them the final blow so you can get more experience points, is that ok with you?"

Dilan nodded and Phil told him while caressing his cheek, "For a first purple dungeon you've already done a lot more than I thought you would be able to do, if your men had seen you fight like I just did, they would have felt really awkward for protecting you back then."

Dilan then said, still smiling, and letting Phil caressing his cheek, "You were right... I really missed being able to fight like that!"
