SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Chapter 145: New Companion

"Poor human... Wait..." The serpent beast hissed loudly and moved forward.

Afraid that the serpent beast is going to attack Kent, Sophia moved forward while activating the defense yantra. But the serpent beast didn't attack Kent as she expected.

Even Mohini, on the clods, raised her staff, worried that the serpent would dare attack Kent.

While Sophia reached Kent and stood before him like a blockade, Kent moved beside her. While touching her shoulder with a comforting look, Kent turned his focus back onto the serpent.

"Poor human, don't go. Jabil will listen to you." The serpent beast changed its tone and requested Kent.

Kent felt surprised by its change of behavior. "Why? What happened now? You seemed so angry before, what changed your mind?" Kent asked in hissing action.

Sophia is dumfounded after witnessing Kent hissing like a snake. "Are you talking with that beast?" Sophia questioned Kent with a weird look.

"Wait... I will explain it to you later." Kent cut off her inquiry and turned towards the serpent beast.

"Poor human... During Jabil's childhood, a few strong humans came to capture my father. After making Jabil's father weak, they tamed him like a monkey, as you said. Jabil doesn't want to be like that." The serpent replied in a distressed tone.

"Then what are you waiting for? Run inside the forest and never come back to these cultivating fields. No one will disturb you if you stay in the forest area." Kent replied in a hissing tone. He felt relieved as the serpent beast changed its opinion.

"But poor human, that plant is very precious for Jabil. Jabil can't leave this place." The serpent beast replied in a determined tone.

Kent smiled and accessed his pegasus bracelet. He took out a 100-year-old silver fruit from the collection sent by his aunt.

"What are you doing?" Sophia questioned with wide open eyes as Kent casually took out a valuable fruit.

"Kent, perform a blood contract with it. Only then, it can come with us." Sophia spoke her decision while staring at the serpent beast.

"I can't do that. The blood contract is very cruel and kills the free will of the beast. I will never do that." Kent replied, dismissing her suggestion without second thought.

"Then ask the serpent to acknowledge you as its master, like your Fire Kirin." Sophia said with a serious look.

"Only divine beast races can do that." Kent replied back with a loud sigh.

Sophia gritted her teeth, remembering the fact. "Then it's your choice. I believe in your decision." Sophia said while staring into his eyes.

"Then, let it follow us from a safe distance until we reach our sect. The peak master of the beast abode can solve the problem for us." Kent replied with a meaningful glance. Sophia nodded her head in response.

Adjusting the throat, Kent interpreted the same message to the serpent beast in a hissing tone. The beast began twisting and turning with joy and began boasting itself with a loud hissing.

On the other side, Sophia took out the mission tablet and took the handprint of the Zi Fan, who hesitated with Sophia's story of taking the serpent with them. As he didn't dare to question her, he placed his palm on the tablet.

Instead of leaving immediately, Kent asked the serpent to move far away from the golden root plant. As the serpent beast moved a long distance from the golden root plant, Sophia approached the plant, carefully extracted it from the ground, and placed it in her storage ring.

Finally, a happy smile formed on her lips after a long period of tension. Soon they left the peripheries of Horseshoe Town, flying high in the sky. A black serpent with glowing back bone, following them from a long distance.

Instead of directly moving towards Sect., Sophia is leading the way towards a special place, leaving Kent in suspense.
