Chapter 1100 Opportunity
Unlike Ery, the dragon protégé had his own grand magus as a master to personally guide him. Not only that, but Ery once heard that Zach Talon even had more than one grand magus as a master guiding him.
This person, Lilith of the Dark Salamander, must be the one he brought to the Hyperion planet.
As if briefly assessing him, the grand magus nonchalantly looked at Ery for a mont.
"King Alduin has inford about your situation; you will stay here with us to train," she sternly said. The way she said it made it seem as if it was an order he was not allowed to refuse.
Ery was montarily stunned. "Elder, may I ask for how long?"
The grand magus threw a displeased glance at him. It was clear that she was unhappy with the question, but she still answered, "Until Zach no longer requires your assistance."
The grand magus responded with such weight, as if Ery himself had no say in the matter.
While he wished to train with the dragon protégé, he didn't know that he would have to spend the whole two months with them.
Ery glanced at Klea. He wanted to know what she thought of the matter.
However, before he could say a word, Magus Shena spoke first.
"Ery, I believe the king has sothing planned for you. And with Senior Lilith here, your safety will be guaranteed," the magus kindly advised.
The grand magus was clearly a little irritated, but she still said so words to convince him, "If you are worried about that blood-sucking Zenonia, she will not make trouble with you under my care. Moreover, I was also instructed to guide you in your progress."
Hearing the grand magus's words, Klea, who was previously reluctant, decided to approach Ery and held his hand.
"Ery, isn't this good news? There's finally a grand magus who can guide you," the Egyptian Queen spoke. Her lips ford a supportive smile, but he could tell that it was sowhat forced.
Ery knew that the grand magus couldn't force him to agree. However, he know that once he agreed, he would have to see it through until the very end.
He looked down at his hand. As he felt Klea's warmth, he was tempted to reject the offer. He wanted to stay with his current plan of training together with her, but at the sa ti…
Ery thought about the real threat that he would have to face in the near future, from Zenonia to the Nephilims, and he couldn't help but hesitate.
An offer to be guided by a grand magus and having the dragon protégé as a sparring partner was not sothing he could easily reject. However, these two months were definitely sothing he couldn't afford to waste, either.
He still needed to deepen his comprehension of the light elent in the Light Institute and started on the body tempering potion he promised in the Apothecary Institute.
In the end, Ery carefully looked toward Zach and the grand magus before saying,
"My apologies, Elder. I'm very grateful for the offer, but I can't spend two months here as I have sothing else I need to do."
As Ery said his rejection, he politely bowed toward the grand magus to express both his gratitude and apology.
His answer pulled gazes of surprise and disbelief from everyone present. Even Klea, who was secretly hoping for Ery to reject the offer inside, didn't expect Ery to actually reject the grand magus.
In front of him, Grand Magus Lilith visibly beca more annoyed and displeased with him. Still, Ery had no intention of changing his decision. He braved himself to express his gratitude one more ti before finally excusing himself.
However, as he walked away, the dragon protégé quickly stopped him.
"Does being number one not matter to you!?"
Ery halted his steps and calmly answered, "It does."
Zach glared at him.
"You will not make it to number one without going past ," the dragon protégé sternly said. "Stay here, and if, by so miracle, you manage to defeat , I will let you leave."
Hearing this, the grand magus next to him chuckled a little. "A wolf defeating a dragon… I'd like to see that."
As she said those words, her gaze looking at Ery beca filled with mockery and amusent. It was clear that she didn't believe he had even the slightest chance of defeating the person she personally taught.
Those words once again stirred Ery's heart, and this was quickly realized by the girl next to him.
Ery once again felt a warm touch on his hand.
"This is a good deal, Ery. I also need to return to my master and continue my own training, so… defeat that worm quickly and co pick up, agreed?" Klea said with a smile. However, unlike last ti, it clearly looked more sincere.
She didn't even wait for Ery to answer before she jumped into the air and summoned her thunderbird. She then glanced toward Ery, still with the sa smile on her face, before turning around and leaving.
Ery watched as she left before turning toward Magus Shena.
"Senior, I'd like to ask you for a favor…"
Before Ery could explain it to her, the female magus interrupted with a faint smile, "I am assigned to assist you. So yes, per your request, I will look after her until your training is done."
At this, Ery couldn't help but smile too. He was grateful to have such an understanding protector.
"Thank you, Senior."
With a confirming nod, Magus Shena left following the direction Klea left.
Now that the two were no longer present, Ery turned back to look at the remaining two. He once again bowed to the grand magus, this ti to give his respects.
"Thank you for the opportunity, Elder."
The grand magus subtly nodded in approval.
"Good, now follow ."
Following her order, Ery and Zach followed her side-by-side as she walked toward the huge cave near the plain. Nonchalantly passing by the enormous dragon sitting near the entrance like a guard, she then proceeded to enter the cave.
The temperature inside the cave was extrely high, and at the sa ti, it was also rich in the spirit energy of fire and darkness. It took Ery a few seconds to realize that the huge cave was Zach's personal spirit cave.
As Ery silently observed his surroundings, the grand magus turned around and looked straight at him.
"All right. Let see how strong you really are, young wolf."
With this, his new training finally started.
