Chapter 373: The Practice Trail... Part-5



Prototype S16ir112, Floor 8.

"Er... can you please stop staring at me like that Princess..."

Fenix shook his head helplessly while trying to ignore the princess who was glaring at him like he has done some huge mistake.

"Tch... I am asking you to find Rio first but you are not obeying my command which is already very infuriating..."

"What I don't understand is... what's so special about that guy Link? why are all the SS rankers so obsessed with that guy..."

Hearing Selain's words Fenix shrugged his shoulders.

"Well... what can I say, the Dragon king himself asked me to protect Link in case something wrong happens, I am just following his orders..."

"I personally don't have any particular reasons to look for Link I am just following the orders given to me and I don't favor him either..."

"I would prefer to look for Rio too... In the first place it's not set in stone that we will find Link first, we may end up finding someone else maybe..."

"Even my Mana detection isn't working here so we will just have to look through every nook and cranny one by one and if we are fortunate we may find the members of team Astra..."

"Otherwise we will just be wandering around like headless chickens..."

Hearing Fenix word's Selain stopped talking and an annoyed look appeared on her face as she poured her cheeks.

Fenix couldn't help but sigh helplessly at that childish behaviour.

When Fenix got teleported, he found himself standing in a corridor along with Selain.

Currently Fenix is in a very awkward situation.

If we consider the dragon King as his boss, then Fenix in a situation where he has to babysit his boss's grumpy kid who seems to not like him at all.

Fenix has no experience in baby sitting as he had no kids of his own.

He had no idea how to keep up a conversation with the princess thus the situation became kind of awkward where he was just walking beside Selain with a troubled look on his face. Fenix also had no idea why's Selain always so grumpy when around him.

"Uh... princess, can you atleast tell me why you seems to hate me so much... er... i don't remember offending you ever before..."

Hearing Fenix's words Selain spoke in annoyed tone,

"Exactly! That's the problem! You never know what you need to do and you never know what you have done! you are completely oblivious of your crimes! Tch!"

"Father is the same he never understands what I prefer and what I don't..."

"When father was arguing with me to Marry Link, you were there and you didn't object to him at all!"

Selain was just letting out her frustrations on Fenix, she wasn't particularly angry at him, she was just annoyed at her on father's decisions.

Her father wanted her to marry Link and she has a big fight with him over that matter, Fenix was coincidentally there at the time in the throne room.

Selain was feeling annoyed that he didn't help her out in that situation.

"Er.. I can't possibly go against the words of the Dragon king you are asking too much from me princess..."

Fenix sighed at Selain's words and shrugged his shoulders.

No matter how unfair Selain feels about it, Fenix can't do anything about that, he's just a subordinate afterall.

He has no right to argue with the Dragon King about the family matters of the royal family. He's just like a corporate worker who only does the work he's given and doesn't bother to worry about anything else and then goes home on time.

He keeps his eyes, ears and mouth close while doing his work, he never even bothers to put his own thoughts forward.

His relation with the dragon King is just that of a boss and a subordinate who have completely nothing to do with each other outside of work.

The Dragon king allows protection for his kind and in return Fenix works as his subordinate, that's the kind deal they made when the dragon King allowed safety and a free space for the drakes who were being hunted by other dragons.

"No need to justify it... be thankful that you are but a kid and I promised someone to not harm

kids and the elderly..."

"Otherwise I would have gifted your head as a gift to your father for what he has done..."

Liam gulped his saliva and shut up on the spot.

'Oh thank you whoever you are who made him promise that! you saved my life!!'

Liam really wanted to just leave now, he was worried that Idri would change his decision if something else came up.

"By the way, you have quite the nerve to bring a shadow dragon with you in the dragon

valley..."

Idri flicked his finger and a magic circle appeared below Liam's feet.

Before Liam could even react Ellie got forcefully summoned.

Idri easily tapped into the boundary of Liam and Ellie, summoning the contract by touching

Liam's soul.

And then he force summoned Ellie without even asking permission from Liam.

What Idri did was such an unbelievable thing that Liam was shocked to the core.

Only Idri the king of Dragons has such abilities and no other dragon could have accomplished

such a feat.

"Oh, If it isn't the disgrace of the shadow dragons in the flesh herself... it's been a while, Elisia

Mistilteinn..."

Ellie's eyes shook in fear and she bowed her head as she dared not look Idri in the eyes.

"I thought you got killed by your older brother a hundred years ago but it seems you are still hanging onto dear life... quite the tenacious one aren't you?"

Idri shook his head and waved his head at Liam.

"And here I was thinking that you were being used by some shrewd shadow dragon but it

turns out it's just this half-baked trash..."

For dragons power and lineage are very important.

Ellie can't use true dragon magic, thus she's more or less not even a proper true dragon.

Idri glanced at Liam and said in an amused tone.

"You are quite lucky, if it was a true dragon I would have killed her right now... but I don't

wanna taint my hands with the blood of a half-baked trash so I will spare her pathetic life..." Idri glanced at Ellie and shook his head in disappointment.

"No wonder they exiled her from the shadow dragon clan... Even after living for more than

three centuries you still haven't managed to grasp true dragon magic... a shame on the dragon

kind..."

Idri didn't bother staying longer and left the hall by smashing a hole in the wall and leaving

via a long corridor.

He had lost all interest in Liam and his summons.
