29 A Flying Lizard?!

"I did not expect to meet you so soon." Lord Kennedy snickered lightly but his face was filled with excitement for whatever was coming up.

"Neither did I." Damian replied chuckling dangerously. "You see, Your face is not something to look forward to."

"You!!—" Lord Kennedy suddenly flared up. "How dare you use that attitude with me??" His face turned to an ugly crumpled form since he was wrinkling and twisting his face in anger. His jolly face was no longer there.

"Lord Kennedy, you look even more unsightly now…I am afraid this way you might not get a girlfriend." Damian was set on provoking him. He hated this man, this beast man more than ever.

'Only if you had not intervened in the original mission, all this would not have happened.' Damian was bowling inside with anger despite looking calm and composed on the surface. He could never erase the image of Mina dying from his mind. Her sad howl, her scared movements, everything was imprinted on his mind as clear as day.

Those felt bad and the fact she went through those was more than enough for him to hate himself and Lord Kennedy. This was probably his responsibility towards his chosen one or so he thought.

"So I suggest you put away the frown, Lord Kennedy." Damian spoke in a precise and concise manner.

"You are courting death, you hybrid piece of shit." Lord Kennedy was enraged so he did not even watch what he said. He just wanted to swear and curse at the spiteful man before him.

"What did you say just now??" The look in Damian's face changed to something different, something more malicious than the evil itself.

The atmosphere suddenly got solemn. Realizing what he said was a forbidden word Lord Kennedy panicked a bit.

'F*ck my mouth.' Lord Kennedy too cursed himself for giving in to his emotion and speaking the forbidden word in front of Damian.

"Can you repeat what you said? I think I did not hear it clearly." Damian asked slowly, his voice getting huskier and deeper every second. The aura around him got even denser, it was almost suffocating near him. If Lord Kennedy was not a Lord, the pressure emitted from this presence itself would have been enough to wipe out his existence.

"W-why should I, the great L-Lord of Delerio should take order from outsider such as Y-You?" Lord Kennedy unconsciously stumbled upon some of his words. 'What am I afraid of? I am the king here…' Lord Kennedy clenched his slightly trembling hand in to a fist.

Calming down he looked at Damian. "Whatever I say it doesn't concern you."

"NO, it does concern me…" Damian gave a long sigh as he pretended to remember something.

"Ohh,,it was something about me being Hybrid piece of garbage.." Damian spoke each word with emphasize.

"Or was it piece of shit?" He glanced at the beast king, his eyes emitting a deathly aura.

'Ba-dump…..'

His instinct made him realize something before it even occurred.

A shrill cry rang out from the center of the forest. The cry was powerful enough to shake the entire territory around the area. The cry was loud and powerful enough to even shake the foundations of the heaven.

The strong presence he was sensing beside Mina suddenly got even menacing and dangerous. Since he was caught with the Lord, he forgot about that for a moment.

'Not again!' Millions thoughts ran inside his mind, his heart beat racing. He did not have time to waste on the Beast king.As he was about to go to the center of the forst, his attention got caught by the pale looking face of beast king.

"This----This energy….But…..How-how??" The beast king was sweating from all over his body clumping his fur into a wet mess. The almighty aura that he had a few moments ago was now replaced by cowardly and meek looking gloomy air.

'What's wrong with him?' Damian looked at him confused. He could also feel how strong the spirit energy was but not to the point where he would tremble like the beast king was doing.

"He is not supposed to be alive….." The beast king, Lord Kennedy was mumbling something to himself.

"Hey, you know something about this don't you?" Damian yelled at him but he was lost in his own mumblings and thoughts. "Hwy,snap out of it." Damian snapped his finger in front of him but to no avail.

'Who is it or what is it that can render even the almighty beast king to a spineless mumbling fool?' Damian was curious about the mysterious entity.

"Don't go….D-Don't go…."The beast king was hardly able to speak anything after that. Because he was a beast himself he could feel the beastly spirit of the creature much better than anyone else.

"You w-will o-o-nly pro-orvke it…Don't go.." He was finally able to mutter what he wanted to say with a great difficulty. Even his skin tingled as if thousands of spider were running on it.

Before either Damian or the beast king could speak anything further, a large shadow covered the whole of the continent including the wolf territory and fox territory as well.

....

"What was that sound?" Beth who was with Daphne looked at the source of the sound and turned to Daphne expecting an answer but to his horror he found that the girl who had finally calmed down was now shaking even more terribly than before, fear evident in her eyes.

"What's wrong now?" Beth was getting ready for round two of baby sitting. He hoped his master to be okay.

"T-That au-ra..it's pure evil…" Daphne could feel the true threat of the new creature since she too was a beast man herself. Her sensitivity towards one of her own kind was what made her emotional before.

...…..

"What's wrong??" Max was alerted as soon as the sound rang throughout the forest. He was about to ask Rubia if she knew what it was about but stopped midway when he saw her wide open eyes and trembling hands.

Her eyes lit up blue scanning the surrounding. "Arhhhhhhh.." She closed her eyes within a second. Max hurried over to her only to find blood dripping down from her eyes.

"How did this happen?" Max took out a cotton clothes and immediately wiped her eyes gently. The white tissue soon became red.

"This energy ids too strong, its unfathomable.." Rubia could only use this two words for describing what she saw through her divine vision. She was too sensitive before this majestic and powerful energy.

...…..

Everyone was out in the open watching the sky which was filled with stars but what they were hoping to see was not some stars but the true form of the creature which cast its shadow over the entire continent.

Another roar filled the sky and in one large swoop a huge bird descended upon the land and took off again flying up to the height of the moon. Wait?? Was it a bird?? Everyone used whatever means they could use to try to decipher the real identity of the creature.

Using their spirit strength they increased the stats of their eyes closely observing the creature of the night.

A pair of crystalline horns, a long slender body with four claws and pair of two strong looking majestic wings.

"A flying lizard??" Everyone whispered among themselves until one of a little boy who loved reading about mythical beings from the library shouted in a voice filled with joy and surprise. No one had any idea what to call it.

"I have read about it.." The wolf boy giggled as he climbed on the head of his father who was carrying him on his shoulder. He pointed at the moonlit sky with a silhouette of a flying monster.

"It's a DRAGON!!"
