The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 24: Beating

The Staff came back after a few minutes and told Athan to go upstairs with me.

Both of them arrived on the 3rd floor and Athan entered the Boss's Office while staff went back to work.

The boss looked like he was in his forties, He has an orange beard and hair, he did not look buffed physically.

Boss pointed Athan told him to sit down.

After Athan sat down on the chair, The boss said, " So what did you want to talk about regarding my request for bringing back the flood dragon alive? I'll tell you in advance that I will not increase rewards. "

Athan just smiled and asked, " How hurry are you in to get the flood dragon ? " He had his own plans on playing mind games with this boss such that he might be able to increase the reward.

The boss eye's change a bit but he coolly replied, " We are in no hurry to get the flood dragon. "

" I see. " Athan nodded and asked, " Do you have information on the whereabouts of another flood dragon? "

The boss hesitated a bit before saying, " No, we don't have information on the whereabouts of another flood dragon. "

Athan then grinned and offered his help, " Add a 50 cubic meter storage ring into the reward and I will bring the flood dragon here without much injuries in 1 day. "

The boss nearly blew his top hearing what Athan said but he calmed himself down and said coldly, " It seems we don't have much to discuss here, You may leave now guest. "

Athan nodded plainly and looked up before muttering, " Since you don't want it, then i guess I'll request my brother to capture it for me, I've been wanting a cool pet for a long time now, and this Flood dragon is a perfect choice. "

Hearing this boss's face changed and Athan just stood up and turned around before walking towards the door to leave the room.

" W-wait please guest, I think we can discuss our deal. " The boss lost his cool and said with a quivering voice.

Athan looked back at the boss with a confused face and asked, " But since you are not in a hurry, you can always find the whereabouts of another flood dragon right? I've actually really wanted a cool pet. "

Sweat appeared on the boss's face as he said hurriedly, " No-no, Actually, we are in a hurry and if no one appeared to take request in next 3 days I was going to increase the reward, but since you offered your help we can discuss the deal, its just we don't have a storage ring with 50 cubic meter space. "

Athan grinned like a cheeky brat and sat down on the chair before asking " If you don't mind, can you tell me why you want this flood dragon alive? "

The Boss thought for a moment and said after sighing, " Actually, My daughter fell into love with the son of the elder of Thousand Seas Palace, Bourne Teal while training there, Although both of them love each other, Bourne's mother who is also the elder of the Thousand Seas Palace is not too happy with their relationship but her son did not back down and finally she told her son that if they can prove their ability by coming to propose marriage in an exceptional Grade 6 beast and then give it to them as a gift in 30 days, She will let her son marry my daughter if in 20 days we can not fulfill this, then she will marry her son to the daughter of an elder in their Thousand Seas Palace. "

After that, the boss sighed again and said, " Exceptional Grade 6 beast means beast that can reach Grade 7, and the only one exceptional Grade 6 beast I heard recently is the flood dragon, It's already been 15 days now and only 5 days are left. "

' So that's the case. ' Athan nodded after hearing everything and said, " Alright, Why don't you tell me how much reward you were going to increase? "

The boss hesitated for a moment before answering, " 150 high-grade Fire or Thunder Crystal and another 20 high-Grade Crystal of their choice from Water, Earth, Wood, Dark, and Air. "

Athan nodded and offered, " How about this, Give me 20 high-Grade Crystals of Water, Earth, Wood, Dark, and Air and add in the 25-cubic meter storage ring, I don't need those high-grade Fire and Thunder crystals, what do you think? "

Athan also added once again, " If you accept this deal, I will bring you the flood dragon in one day. "

The boss fell into contemplation and after thinking for a few minutes, He gritted his teeth and said, " Alright, I accept this deal, please bring me the flood dragon alive without many injuries, if you injure it too much then I will have to spend another sum of money to heal the dragon by requesting help of a Light Attribute Elemental sorcerer. "

In his head he was still upset since he was blackmailed, ' I can only accept this deal since you said that you will take the flood dragon for yourself, so what can i do if not accept your OFFER. '

Athan nodded with a smile and said, " Good discussion boss, Now just prepare the rewards and wait for the good news. "

Saying this stood up and left the room with a grin on his face.

' if 20 high-grade crystals are enough to refine my body and form the spinning crystal then i will have 4 more affinities, damn, that would be awesome. ' Containing his excitement, Athen left the big shop and started flying towards the location of the lake where that flood dragon resided.

...

...

Athan flew continuously and asked the location once more when he encountered a town on the way, then it took him 2 hours to arrive at the lake.

Since it was still night, the flood dragon might be sleeping since the lake was very calm right now.

Athan looked at the interface and noticed that his Psychic Energy was also running low.

[~Psychic Realm: Cleansed~]

-Psychic Energy: 31%/100%

Athan then dived into the Lake and started searching for the flood dragon.

...

After 30 minutes...

The calm lake appeared turbulent as A 50 meter long and 5 meters thick Snake with small wings and two horns on its head surfaced on the lake.

Athan also flew out and floated in the sky in the face-off against the flood dragon.

*Rawrrrrrrrrrrr......*

The Flood Dragon looked at Athan as it roared, ' Why this ant-like creature disturbed it when it was sleeping.? ' This is what the Flood Dragon must be thinking.

The Flood Dragon then opened its mouth and a big and thick jet of Water Cannon shot towards Athan at a very fast speed.

Athan looked at the incoming Attack and thought, ' Let's see if this Exceptional Grade 6 beast can hurt me or not. '

Then Athan just floated there without moving and let the attack hit him.

*BAMSPLASH*

After receiving the attack, Athan only felt like scratching his body and was not even pushed back.

Seeing the scene, Even Flood Dragon appeared confused and bewildered.

Athan just grinned and shot towards the flood dragon at a very fast speed before sitting on its head and grabbing both of the horns.

*Rawrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....*

The Flood Dragon Roared as it started to move upside down and tried to shook off Athan from its head.

" Looks like you will stay obedient unless you feel some pain. " Athan then just formed a fist with one hand and gave a solid punch on its head, while still grabbing a horn with his other hand.

The Flood dragon's eyes turned red as it went berserk, and started moving even more violently.

Seeing this, Athan was also getting annoyed and gave two more solid punches, on its head which directly knocked out the Flood Dragon.

He then grabbed the tail of the Flood Dragon and put it down outside of the lake.

Looking at the flood dragon that was knocked out by him, Athan thought, ' How long will it take to wake up? I can't just carry it with me and return while flying, bringing this beast along with me will consume even more energy, more importantly, I don't even have enough psychic energy to return alone.

[~Psychic Realm: Cleansed~]

-Psychic Energy: 8%/100%

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Athen decided to wake up this Flood Dragon.

He moved towards the head of the Flood Dragon and gave a few slaps.

Seeing that the Flood Dragon was not regaining its senses, Athan increased his power a bit and gave it a few more slaps.

After receiving the slaps, The Flood Dragon's eyes shot opened as it flapped its small wings flew up.

Seeing this Athan directly sped up and once again sat down on its head.

" Stop running and obediently follow my command, or I will really tear you into pieces. "

The Flood Dragon's eye clearly reflected fear as it stopped running, Seeing this Athan smiled and nodded, " Good. "

He forcefully branded his Psychic Energy in the consciousness of The Flood Dragon, before commanding the Flood Dragon to fly in the direction of the Thunder-Fire Valley.

The Flood Dragon did not resist as it was completely afraid of this human who knocked it out with few punches, it was glad that it was not killed.

Surviving is the most innate instinct of animals, and it was even more apparent on high-grade beasts.
