Chapter-40: Deal"What happened? Why am I here?"
After reanimated, the black dragon known as Akbar Drage muttered.
His sclera of eyes was black color, it is signature of the reanimated individual.
"Is that you, Big brother?"
Fatema Drage asked for confirmation.
"Hmm... Ah, Fatema. Where are we? I can"t remember anything, the last thing I remember is when I destroying that sect, was suddenly attacked by something ominous."
He still didn"t notice me, or he was in so chaos that he ignored my existence. Nevertheless, I tell him,
"It"s like that, you got a.s.s whipped by someone you shouldn"t mess with and dissected into two."
He looked at me as if seeing a pest.
"Human! No, whatever you are, how dare you to talk to me like this!?"
Saying that he tried to attack me. But I restrained him in his place because I was the one who reanimated him.
[AN: When I was writing him, it reminded me, young masters of Chinese Novel.]
"Know your place, Dragon. You are nothing but a weak little bug to me."
Hmm... I think my att.i.tude changed a lot over the course, I used to be a gentleman who restrained his mouth even in humiliating situations.
"The heck?! Why can"t I move?"
"That because you are restraint by me. Listen well, I was the one who revived you from death, from now on you will be served me as your master."
I told him.
"What? Why will I..."
This time I also restraint his mouth.
"It"s enough. Your need has met Its purpose. Sleep now."
I don"t know why his carefree arrogant voice p.i.s.sed me,
[AN: Because MC has a grudge on CN young masters. Nah, JK, he never read those (but I did,)]
A huge coffin opened behind his back and captured him into it.
After coffin was sealed, it went down to earth (through incantation marks.).
"Well, what do you think?"
I asked Fatema who was still in confusion.
"It"s my brother alright. No one except him can show that swag face. But how did you do that? I never heard about magic like that. I wonder even my Grandmother aware of that."
She seems like started to believe in my reviving ability.
"I told you, it is my unique ability. No one except I can do that (among mortals). But your brother wasn"t completely back to life, unlike your aunt. He was nothing but zombie version undead."
"Is that so? So, what is the deal?"
There was no reason for me to tell her about my ability and even show her in person, so of course, she will ask what"s my intention to show her my power.
"You know that using my power, I can revive your family? Or you still can"t believe me?"
I asked her.
"I believe in you. What"s your condition?"
She is thinking about everything with a cool head now.
"Let me tell you, I have no relations with that masked man, also known as Madara. We are simply using each other."
I looked away from her after saying that and sit on the ground.
"As you can see, if I wanted to I could revive my sect members at least my loved ones."
"Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Why didn"t you use your power to simply revive your sect members? If that was the case we could solve misunderstanding between us peacefully, and counterattack against the people who used us."
I already showed her that we both factions were used by villains.
"As you said before, if power like that existed in me, I will be the most wanted person in this world. But that isn"t everything. The thinking of worst happening is much more severe than you think just possessing this ability."
"..."
"This world of ours is not everything. Above of this world being other than "mortal" keeping an eye on us. Among them some portion is good, some portion is evil and some portion is opportunist. This power I possessed is beyond mortals, even few G.o.ds have this ability. So, if someone comes to know about my ability whether good or evil, I will be done for. Because for evil, I will be nothing but a tool to use and for good, I am not only breaking the law of heaven and earth, I will be bothersome cause I will always target that everyone seeking for, so they will try to remove me."
She didn"t comment after my pause. I started to explain to her now in a different view,
"Let leave Realm of G.o.ds aside, I will also create chaos in the mortal realm. When humans come to know about my power they will seek me to revive the dead ones, and if I do it with even in pity that will change the balance between man and G.o.d, not to mention how troublesome it will be when millions of being will become here to beg me. So, in other words, if I revived my sect members who already died it won"t be something people can"t ignore."
"So, that"s why you took shelter of that masked monster."
"Yes, he will be my backer and I will be his apostle as well as successor. Let me tell you, that guy isn"t mortal being."
"It gives me more reason to hate you because you are the disciple of that monster."
She told me straight with hatred.
"You are welcome to, I cannot change someone"s impression toward me. But I am not like him. The way he does the thing, I don"t like it. However, for reviving my sect I cannot help but rely on that guy."
I told her with a helpless smile.
"So why? Why did you tell me everything? Are you thinking I will die anyway, so nothing will happen?"
"I told you, I may be the person who could revive you lost ones. and I also told you I am not like that masked man who tries to solve everything with the power I am different, I want to established peace. For that I need your help. Give me your loyalty, in return, I will give back your family when I will revive my sect. For your insurance, I told my greatest secret to you if I go back on my word you will dispose of it, which might bring my demise. Let me tell you, including you only three people know about my secret. So what do you say? Don"t worry deals between us that guy, Madara doesn"t know."
"I..."
Seeing her hesitation I told her,
"Well, take your time. I will wait for an answer, however, if you don"t answer I might not able to save you, Madara will eventually kill you. Not only you will lose your own life but also you will lose the possibility of the revival of your family. But if you agree, one way or another I could save you, after all, I am now his disciple."
Hearing my warning she sighed,
"Do I have even choice? Okay, I will give my loyalty to you. But if you go back on your word, I will haunt you even after I die."
For the first time, she turned into her humanoid form.
She was a beautiful girl with crimson red hair. Coming before me she advanced her hand towards me for the handshake, I grabbed her hand with a smile.
[AN: There is still some portion of their peace treaty left, we will see that in the next chapter. I guess I will post that next Sunday.]
