Chapter 996: Taming Quest (7) [Bonus]
BOOM
The lotus flame lake exploded, and two people appeared.
Kent was seated on Sylvara’s crowded head as they appeared from the lake.
Right when they appeared, Sylvara turned back to her human form and held Kent by the hand as they walked toward Orvath, still blocking Zeraphine.
BOOM
The sea of flames exploded again, and Kaelith, with a handprint on his face, appeared, his bloodshot eyes locked on Sylvara.
However, that changed when he met Kent’s gaze.
In an instant, his demeanor shifted from anger to fear.
"You will do well to not try that ever again. Trust me, if I want you dead, you will be dead by now," Kent said, his tone cold.
Zeraphine felt her spine shudder at the sound of such cold words. Even though Kent wasn’t talking to her, she felt like the warning concerned her, too.
"I am sorry, Lord Kent, I was stupid and didn’t recognise your greatness, causing me to do the stupid thing I did," Zeraphine said, her expression calm, though one could tell she meant every last word she said.
"I was stupid for looking down on you. Please forgive me and my companion."
She was the one who dragged Kaelith into this mess after all. However, even Kaelith held his head down, not daring to look Kent in the eyes.
Kent hadn’t yet absorbed the Blood essence he gathered; however, he had already formed 33,000 flame veins. That alone was enough to exert a pressure that made even the two monarchs feel like they were being gazed at by a predator.
"Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have easily forgiven you two; however, today I am in a good mood and also here to ask for your help, so I will let this slide. However, there will be no next time."
Of course, there will be no next time. After all, once they have been tamed, rebelling is something they will never be able to do again.
"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Kent," Zeraphine said, and Kaelith bowed toward Kent.
This time, they had escaped a grave danger.
"If Lord Kent has something he needs, he can tell us. We will do our very best to help him with it," Kaelith said, not daring to sound arrogant.
Of course, he managed to catch Kent simply because even with Kent’s speed, he was too slow to react.
The Azure Flame Roc Monarch is the fastest in the flame sea, so it will be a disgrace if he can’t even catch Kent when he had the advantage.
Zeraphine’s plan was for Kent to be taken away and killed by Kaelith, while she would handle Sylvara.
However, she failed to put Orvath in the equation. If she had made provisions for him, perhaps things would have been different.
However, now that they saw the danger both Kent and Sylvara posed, both of them could only thank their lucky stars for delivering them from grave danger this time.
"I came here today to take you two in as my subordinates. In return, I will awaken your Innate Beast Bodies, some other innate abilities, send you to a good Immortal world suitable for beasts, and so much more.
All that is required of you is to help hold back the subordinates of the Planet King while I attack and kill him."
Kaelith looked at Zeraphine, who also stared at him before turning to Kent...
Kent is already aware of what is running through their mind. They want to know if he can really kill the planet king.
"You two shouldn’t worry about whether or not I can kill the planet king. I already have a plan to contain and kill him. The only thing I need is for you to hold back the planet King’s subordinates, and I will handle the rest.
However, for that to work, your two guards and three rulers must also become my subordinates."
If there is anything preventing them from accepting this offer, then the fact that they both saw Sylvara had awakened her innate beast body was already enough to tell them Kent had helped her, and so he can also help them.
However, the idea of becoming Kent’s subordinates just to help him fight against someone they have been hiding from all these years made them hesitate for a moment.
’Since he only needs us to fight the subordinates of the Planet King, then there is no need to fear. At best, I can always run if he deceives us,’ Kaelith said inwardly.
His speed is the fastest among the seven monarchs, so running is his strongest ability.
After a few internal struggles, Kent added two more monarchs to his Taming bracelet and activated the three benefits.
This instantly changed the way the two monarchs saw Kent.
Awakening Innate Talent ability, each from just forming a soul contract with him, had awarded them with something many beasts go their entire lifetime without ever awakening half of it.
Their trust level moved from the initial 5% to 20% after receiving the boosts and the Innate Talent Ability.
"Gather your subordinates; I will be adding them too."
"Lord Kent, my domain is just 1 day from here. However, if I were to carry you, we would get there within 6 hours," Kaelith said, and Kent nodded.
"Then, after adding Zeraphine’s subordinates, we will head to your domain."
"Okay."
Ten hours later, Kent was done adding the five subordinates under Zeraphine. He gave them the task of gathering the ingredients for the Soul Strengthening and Limit Breaker Pills.
After that was done, along with Zeraphine, Sylvara, and Orvath, they left and headed to Kaelith’s domain.
Along the way, a message appeared before Kent’s vision telling him something he had been waiting for...
⟪You can form your flame core after reaching 35,000 flame veins. Current Flame veins: 33,800⟫
’I am almost there.’ Kent smiled.
He knew forming the core was the next objective, since it was one of the reasons he had come to the past.
’Once the core is formed, I will leave this place and go to Planet Solaryn, where the Pill Ascension trial will take place.
That will take a month. Once back, I will find a place where I can kill more beasts and earn enough blood essence and blood itself to form my blood core gate.’
Kent sighed, then an idea popped into his mind. He turns to Sylvara, Orvath, and Zeraphine and asks.
"Have any of you ever heard of what the humans call the Pill Ascension Realm?"
Zeraphine nodded, a glint flashing in her cute, violent eyes. Kent could tell she really knew something about the place.
"From what I know, the Pill Ascension Realm is a chunk of an ancient world that lived many billions of years ago. It is said to contain some of the rarest ingredients used by your people for alchemy, as well as many more.
However, the reason why it is a place even beasts like me would love to go is because of the Primordial Flames."
"Primordial flames?" Kent was stunned.
He had heard of this flame before. It was during one of his vacations with Elina during the Primordial Era. However, back then, he only heard that two empires were at war because of a primordial flame.
He wanted to go check it out, but Elina dragged him off to a festival happening in the opposite direction from this war and the primordial flame.
This time, he wanted to learn more, and thankfully, Zeraphine wouldn’t be able to lie to him.
"Tell me all you know."
