.....And the shortest period according to the record is at least 5 years to complete a metamorphosis." Cynthia answered telepathically in his head.
"5 years! Nah, I can't stay here for 5 years to wait for her to get mature. Five years is too long. And also I can't abandon and leave her alone here since she is now one of mine." Bobby muttered, and he pondered, trying to figure out a way to fix the situation.
"Dude, you're overthinking again. Why don't you just put her in your Purple Spatial Beast's eye?.. She'll be fine." Cynthia responded briskly.
"Oh, previously I thought the shell might break if I tried to move it," Bobby said with an awkward smile.
"Bahahaha… That's the most hilarious joke I have ever heard." Cynthia burst into a peal of booming laughter. "No-no-no-no, dude, you're wrong this time. And breaking…. that will never happen…. It's a Dragon's cocoon for the Jove's sake. Do you take it for some kind of chicken's egg or something?" She then continued laughing hysterically while holding her stomach.
Bobby rubbed his nose unconsciously, and he whispered under his breath, "Laugh all you like. Once you regain your physical form, I'll teach you a way to make you cry while making you feel you're in the heavens."
"What?" Cynthia asked as she seemed to understand part of it but failed to understand the underlying meaning of his words.
"It's nothing," Bobby said, and then in the next instant, he appeared in front of the gigantic red cocoon-like shell which was covering the Red Dragon.
He then inserted a trace of his Origin Chi into the Purple Spatial Beast's Eyes and touched it at the wall of the cocoon and in the next instant, the red gigantic spherical shape disappeared from inside the gigantic hall.
Bobby peeped inside the space of the Purple Spatial Beast's eye, sending a thread of his consciousness and saw the Red Dragon's red cocoon laying safely over the ground. Then he removed his consciousness and heaved a heavy sigh of relief.
Then he walked out of the hall and continued exploring further inside the mansion's interior and spent several hours visiting from one room to another while observing all the remains of those used by members of the Six Olden families.
And Bobby came to understand one thing which was that, unlike the current Six Olden Families who constantly were at loggerheads with each other to gain superiority over one another, those members of the Six Olden families in this world once lived together even within a mansion in harmony.
When Bobby had come out of the mansion, it was already dark and a bright white moon shone in the limitless sky. It was an extremely eye-catching view as the scene of the white moon reflected from the water surface of the river captivated him.
"Cynthia, want to see something really amazing today?" Bobby asked with a bright smile and a pair of black wings grew out of his back.
"Sure!"
Bobby lightly pushed himself from the ground with his legs and flew into the air, as his wings fluttered against the invigorating waves of chilly wind that blew from time to time.
He landed his footing on the slightly tilted mansion's roof.
As he leaned against it and looked out across the brook of the gigantic river, his heart and mind were filled with absolute calm.
"Wow! You're right. It's the best view I have ever seen." Like Bobby, Cynthia exclaimed in delight and watched the scene in silence.
Meanwhile, somewhere near that ruined city, there was a temple hidden deep within a thick jungle.
Inside the temple was a muscular, middle-aged-looking man binding all of his body under a chain. When the moonlight fell over his body, he would growl with pain, but the chain was the one stopping it from reacting fully to the moonlight.
"Aargh! Grrr! Rrgh!" the man groaned in madness.
Meanwhile, a seraphic presence transpired in the room, and an eerie voice sounded, "Hahahaha…. This time, a strange and powerful human being came into my territory. Earlier, I thought he was just some Angel genius like those who came to this place every five years. But it turns out he is disguising his real identity and infiltrating Angelic territory and coming here to become whatever Chief position they all were hoping to become…. Unlike any other youth I have encountered, he is not a tiny bit affected by that trash Hardy Bradworth's enchantment skill and even Xolo lost in the hand of this human youth. And now he had already beaten the Red Dragon easily and made her follow him on her own wish. What a bummer? I've been planning to turn this Dragon into my beast puppet after she has completed her maturity."
He further added, saying to himself: "As I observe him, he seems to have possessed even more strength. And in addition, he is really a shrewd one. I believe he still has a lot of cards he still hasn't put out yet. Alright, then I'll use one of my best cards, and let's see if he revealed the depth of his strength."
Out of nowhere, a black mist of Origin Chi flew toward the black chain, chaining the growling man. In the next second, the black chain decomposed into fine black powders.
"Liam!" the husky voice said, ordering the man. "I have got a job for you. Just go to the ruined city and try any means to kill him and bring his corpse to me."
Then the middle-aged man named Liam jumped out of the temple. And the moment he was exposed under the moonlights, his body bent and transformed as his bones broke and finally transformed into a giant black wolf with a pair of protruding long fangs.
Awooo! Awoo!
After that, the black giant wolf howled twice while looking at the bright white moon and the only thing different was that his eyes were pitched black, which meant that his consciousness was under the control of someone.
He then moved swiftly toward the direction of the ruined city.
