Chapter 32: Hights and promises
The Dragon stared at him for a long time, the smile on his face dimmed. "Brat, there are lots of things in this world that are beyond your understanding. And there are more terrifying things out there that you don’t want to meet."
"You have been chosen by a Legendary SSS Dragon and I want to make a Bound with you. Leave it at that."
Vacuse thought it over, then he shook his head. One important thing he’d learned in his previous life was to never leave things as they were. Especially things that he had little power against.
The powerful would always plot and scheme. They move the weak around their chessboard as they will. And the Dragon that he was looking at looked like a powerful. He brought him here without warning and now wanted to make a Bound with him?
Vacuse crossed his hands on his chest. He had already reached the SS. He wasn’t desperate for a Bound. A Legendary SSS Dragon? Hump!
He shook his head and said flatly, "Sorry, Lord Dragon. But I want to know everything. If I am to have you as my Bound, then I won’t go into things rashly."
Even though Vacuse didn’t feel any temperature, he could swear that things just got colder.
The Dragon frowned, angry lines appeared on his face and his eyes flashed. "Brat. You are in my territory. I can kill you before you can blink. You are chosen, that is all."
Vacuse blinked. He’d never heard of a situation like this before. Usually, the intelligent beasts set tests or suchlike to know if their partner is worthy.
But not straight up threaten to kill them!
He took a deep breath and did the most dangerous thing in his new life. "You can’t."
