Chapter 116 - You Have Two Days To Consider
"So this is the reason why all these monsters are crazy?" she muttered, but Arthur didn\'t reply back, as he turned to look at the stupefied female leader while saying:
"You have two days to consider."
He then took out one bird\'s wing that Amelia gave him and threw one down towards the leader, before saying:
"I will wait for your reply within these days, if not then I will consider this as your refusal, and the lives of your loyal mages will be exhausted in your honor."
He then turned to look to the dark pitch sky as he shouted:
"Now!"
Suddenly, a huge bird monster appeared, out of nowhere, flapping its two big wings a few meters above his head. "Our ride is here," he said to the extremely surprised vampire, while taking back Lisa, the scorpion, into his tattoo on his wrist, before putting his hand on the carcass. "Jump there now," he softly muttered.
The female master jumped over her surprise and jumped over the back of the bird. Arthur then jumped but after taking the carcass into his ring. This action didn\'t escape the eyes of the female master, feeling more astonished at the secrets Arthur had.
"Hi Lily, let\'s go home," he said in greeting for Lily. He had asked Amelia to send Lily to bring him from here, and that was his own way out of here. Lily was ecstatic to meet him, as she said:
"You are always a domineering clan leader, even alone, you managed to damage the camp that caused us many troubles before, and escape unscathed from here."
He smiled faintly in reply to her own words, that simply described what happened back there. on the side, the female vampire master just stood silently, watching this young girl speaking so freely with such a dangerous man.
The innate fear she just felt before still lingered in her mind, and that made her act this obedient even after Arthur\'s brutal aura vanished.
Arthur then looked towards her and asked:
"What\'s your name?"
Up till now, he didn\'t know her name at all.
"Iman," she said, while keeping her vigilance towards him.
"Why are you so afraid of me? I won\'t bite you," he joked, "now I need to know what caused your injury, that severe for you to be this distressed," he added.
He needed to know the cause of injury so he could determine the best way to cure her. He also wanted to know many other things, like what could hurt a vampire in this world. vampires had a very remarkable regeneration ability, and injuring them without killing them wasn\'t an easy feat at all!
Besides he wanted to know how vampires existed here, and if there were other creatures living in this world or not. He was now a living dragonair, and she was a vampire.
Two mystic creatures existing in this world wasn\'t a coincidence at all!
As he asked her, her face changed, showing a melancholic expression, with some bitterness as she said:
"I was betrayed by a lycon who I once was with."
Arthur didn���t understand the nature of this creature, despite her reply answering one of his many questions in head; this world had other creatures other than his and hers!
"What is a lycon?" he asked.
"It\'s a tribe that feeds on others\' source of life, a strange mutation from vampires. We feed on blood, and they feed on life force," she explained.
Arthur frowned, as this was a strange ability he never heard of before. He once heard about a female cultivator had the ability to suck life from others when she mated with them, but Iman just said this was a tribe!
"So, your injury is in your life source," he muttered.
"Yes, and this kind of injury if not treated in time, would leave permanent damage," she said.
Lily on the side was watching the two of them speaking of these strange words, and didn\'t understand any of them. However, she had the feeling that Arthur did understand Iman\'s strange words well, which made her feel more admiration towards him.
"I agree this is hard to cure injury, so I\'m wondering, if I cured you, what would you do to me in exchange for this?" he asked, while directly looking in her eyes.
"I just promised not to interfere with your conflict with Noura, isn\'t this enough?" she immediately replied.
"No," he shook his head, "you know better that I can easily handle you, especially when I know you are severely injured," he added, "I need something else," he said, while pausing and not revealing his intentions for her.
"What? Don\'t tell me you want me to be your girl as well!" she joked with a smile over her face, but he didn\'t correct her, which made her short laugh froze, turning into a really short laugh. "You want me to be your woman?" she nervously asked.
"Well," he replied, before pausing, enjoying the stress over her face, "if we are destined for each other, then you will be mine, however I want you to help me for something. You are in the Dorgazire academy, right?" he asked, finally revealing his intentions.
"Oh, if you mean that," she paused, as her face showed some hesitation.
"What\'s wrong?" he asked.
"I\'m not from the academy, but from another big academy, far from here," she said, before a distressed emotion appeared over her face.
"You ran away," he expressed what his mind had reached as a conclusion, which was the only possible explanation to her presence here far away from her own academy.
"Not running away," she sharply replied, as her self dignity was hurt by his remark, "I came here to start over again, intending to apply as a master in the Dorgazire academy," she added, revealing her goal of being here, the public goal, not the real hidden one.
"Oh," he just muttered, while saying nothing, respecting her desire to keep the other reason secret for now, "Does that lycon still chasing you?" he asked.
