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 ring at him like he has done some huge mistake.


    "Tch... I am asking you to find Rio first but you are not obeying mymand 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 Sin''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 particr 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 ce 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 Sin 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 Sin.


    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.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    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 Sin with a troubled look on his face. Fenix also had no idea why''s Sin 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 Sin 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 arepletely 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!"


    Sin was just letting out her frustrations on Fenix, she wasn''t particrly 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.


    Sin 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 Sin''s words and shrugged his shoulders.


    No matter how unfair Sin 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 rtion with the dragon King is just that of a boss and a subordinate who havepletely 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.


    "Sigh... Forget it... it''s just my own wishful thinking that father''s subordinates will dare to go against him... most of them are afraid of his power afterall..."


    Fenix also nodded his head at those words,


    "Indeed... the Dragon King is very powerful... he''s the only person I fear in this world..."


    "Princess, take my advice... unless you reach the realm of Demi-gods and achieves great achievements, no one will support you in your fight against your own father..."


    Sin clenched her first and a look of determination passed through her eyes.


    "Hmph, i will be the next ruler of the dragon valley for sure... I will then punish you for your disobedience all these days..."


    Fenix punched a hole through a golem that came to attack them and thenughed a bit at Sin''s words.


    "Haha, I will take the punishment obediently then if such a dayes..."


    A smirk appeared on Sin''s face after hearing those words.


    The two of them then kept looking for Rio and the others while destroying the traps, walls and all the golems that came in their way.


    For Rio and others, the golems are too strong to even fight, but for Fenix, these golems are just children''s toys that can be broken easily without exerting too much strength.


    A single punch from him is enough to st holes in them.


    Although mithril and adamantine are very powerful items, unless they are enhanced with the mana and skills of other SS rankers, peak SS rankers like Fenix can easily destroy them.


    Most SS-rankers indeed use weapon''s made out of mithril and adamantine but they always use them while enhancing them with their own mana otherwise they won''t be able to withstand the attacks of other SS rankers.


    For example, if Idri uses his authority to create a rule that Rio''s sword will lose its shape in front of him then Rio won''t be able to use his formless sword against Idri.


    Infact, if Idri deres the ''rule'' that his soul can''t be split then even the soul splitting skill won''t work on him.


    That''s how overpowered Idri is, he can create his own rules and can make the world obey them using his world authority.


    Of course you can still counter them with either a legendary skill or using an authority of your


    own.


    But even Authorities have levels, the one with the higher level will always win.


    Currently Idri has the highest world authority level in the world.


    This is one of the main reasons why all dragons and other races fear him alike.


    ...


    Floor 10.


    "Uh... I..."


    Before Liam could say anything, Idri cut him off.


    "No need to give me any excuses... your father is a guilty man... he will die if I met him


    today..."


    Hearing those words a helpless look appeared on Liam''s face.


    When he got teleported, he appeared in a massive empty hall on Floor 10 and found himself


    standing beside the dragon King himself.


    He wanted to rify that he has nothing to do with Neo''s n but Idri refused to listen to


    him.


    "Uh... I Just wanted to say that I am not-"


    Idri cut him off again before he could finish his sentence.


    "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 aplished


    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 nced 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 nced at Ellie and shook his head in disappointment.


    "No wonder they exiled her from the shadow dragon n... 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.
