Chapter 987: Really? Then what's stopping you?
"Did her doppelganger die too?"
Not one, but two Perfect Doppelgangers at once. After the incident with Ned, this is the first time that Doppelgangers have died after leaving their native home, the Forest of Doppelgangers.
After leaving their home, they lost the protection of their ancestor and the opportunity to be reborn again. Unlike him and Arabel, for the others who follow the Path of the Beast Tamer, the death of a contracted creature is the end. They do not have the opportunity to save a dead pet, as Idan did.
"I wonder how Geminia will take their death?" Idan wondered.
"She probably already felt their demise due to her connection with them," he suggested.
As in the case of Hazel's Doppelganger, the body of Hailey's Doppelganger was nowhere to be seen.
"The Doppelgangers were the first to take the hit, trying to protect their masters."
Reynar remembered how quickly and fearlessly the two had reacted, feeling neither fear nor doubt. He could only admire their insane bravery and dedication.
"After the death of the Doppelganger and the destruction of her second Beast Soul, Hailey lost all her contracts."
Idan noticed the baby dragon, who was holding onto Hailey's uniform tightly and trying to wake her up by sniffing. Over the past few days, Idan had noticed that the baby dragon had become very attached to her. He assumed it had to do with Hailey's System, and he didn't see anything wrong with that.
Right now, he was not only sorry to look at the baby dragon's sadness, but he also felt its bitterness through their bond.
Seeing Idan looking at Hayley and the Baby Dragon, Raynor looked at the crying baby dragon and said:
"Little brat, although he seems useless, he was able to protect her from physical wounds."
Idan turned to Raynar, who continued:
"Otherwise, she wouldn't be much different from that Valkyrie."
Indeed, Idan had previously noticed that compared to Hazel, Hailey had no visible wounds. Her wounds were hidden deep inside, at the soul level, while Hazel was mostly suffering from severe external injuries.
"Although he's still very young, he's still a Platinum-ranked dragon," Idan said.
Before Idan signed the contract and took the baby dragon with him, he was under the loving protection of his powerful parents. They did nothing but pamper him. No one taught him how to use his powers and fight.
Idan wanted the baby dragon to gradually learn and gain experience. Therefore, he entrusted his training to Hailey during this expedition.
"Graaaaa!" — The agonized screams of Rezkar behind him distracted Idan from his thoughts.
He turned his gaze back to the expedition group. Almost everyone was injured, and the severity of the injuries varied. However, what saddened Idan the most was death. And they were mostly girls.
Besides Hazel and Hailey, there were only four girls left alive, and two of them were members of the Titan Guild.
The difference in strength was too great. In a very short time since its appearance, Shaira's group has inflicted such damage.
If Hailey hadn't dared to sacrifice her second Beast Soul and take on the kickback of destroying the contract, there would have been even more casualties.
"The expedition is over, there's no point in continuing," Idan concluded.
Rayner agreed. There was no point in continuing.
"What about them? Did you kill them all?" — Idan's bitterness was replaced by a gloomy coldness.
Reynar, sensing Idan's mood, grinned.
"Except for Shaira, I didn't miss anyone."
"So she's alive?"— Idan's cold eyes stared suspiciously at Reynar.
"She turned out to be very careful and fast."
"Before I could first kill those Platinum-ranked creatures of darkness that were attacking the remaining girls, her trace had already disappeared."
"Hmm," — Idan snorted.
Remembering how Reynar had admired her beauty and even expressed his desires, Idan wondered for a moment if Reynar might have intentionally let her go. He did not share his suspicions, choosing to confide in Reynar.
"I see suspicion in your eyes."
Although Idan only thought about it without saying his thoughts out loud, Raynar did not miss and noticed his disbelief.
"Do you think that after all that has happened and all these sacrifices, I will be guided by my lust? You're insulting my pride, brat."
Reynar's words didn't hurt Idan or even scare him.
He didn't know much about Reynar, and mostly that he was very lustful and heavily dependent on Esma's potions.
No matter how you look at it, it's not a pleasant story, and Idan couldn't make a positive image of Reynar out of it.
"Heh, are you so sure that I can't do anything to you, given your connections and powerful women? Or do you really have balls of steel?" Reynar asked with a predatory smile.
"You know, there's nothing holding me back anymore, and I can swat you down here."
"Really? Then what's stopping you?" Idan wasn't afraid.
Reynar didn't answer, just stared into Idan's eyes in silence.
Soon, he burst into laughter.
"You're good. It looks like you really have balls of steel," he said.
Reynar stopped laughing when he noticed that the survivors were looking at them strangely.
Then, using his Soul Force, he asked Idan a question.
"I heard that your wife is pregnant," he said.
Idan's gaze hardened even more at the mention of Arabel.
"Ahaha," Reynar's laughter echoed in Idan's head.
"Without a doubt, your wife is beautiful, but don't get me wrong, I'm not interested in married women."
"I'm just jealous of you, brat," Reynar continued.
"My wives and I have been trying to get cute little dragons lately, but we haven't been able to do it."
"Maybe you have some secret of your own or a way?"
Reynar watched with amusement as Idan's face changed from anger to surprise and confusion in a split second.
A secret? What's the secret? Idan had no secrets. Arabel's pregnancy was the result of simple carelessness and accident. There were no hidden plans or targeted actions.
Idan, seeing that Reynar was serious, decided not to voice his thoughts out loud, but instead turned to his System.:
"System, do you have something in the Trade function that can increase the fertility of dragons?"
[There is], came the immediate reply.
[Since this dragon's wives are Diamond—ranked dragons, there are potions that are suitable for them. However, considering that the dragon itself belongs to the 6th rank, the effect of the potion will be slightly reduced, but still the chances of conception will increase].
[Rank 6 potions are needed to be sure, but they are currently unavailable. Access requires a system update.]
