Era of Pet Beasts: Picking Up a Dark Demon Dragon Egg Right off the Bat - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: We Are Companions!

“You want me to go to the human city with you, right?”

The two sisters, whose thoughts had been seen through by Matthew, now appeared rather awkward.

Edith chuckled, looking somewhat silly.

She blushed and scratched the back of her head. “Yes.”

Brenda was quiet and reserved.

“Now that you mention it, I think we can go to a human city and take a look at the Beast Tamer you mentioned.”

Matthew decided to check out the human city.

He had had the same thought before Heber had advanced.

But at that time, it was because he lacked the materials to advance, and Edith gave it to him later, so there was naturally no need to go to the human cities.

And now, what Brenda and Edith had said had succeeded in tempting Matthew.

He wanted to know how to become a true Beast Tamer.

“Yay ~”

Edith danced with joy.

Brenda smiled.

Matthew had wanted them to leave.

Now, Matthew’s thoughts were led astray by them.

The three of them would head to the human city together!

Matthew rolled over on top of Heber, who had been waiting for him.

Because of Heber’s pride, it was only willing to carry Matthew alone.

Brenda and Edith could only ride their own beasts.

“You should come up too, Athosen.”

Matthew shouted to Athosen, who had been turning its back on them.

But Heber was not pleased.

It let out an unhappy dragon roar.

“What’s your name? Damn you, smelly dragon, I don’t want to sit on you too!”

Athosen could be said to be a tamed beast, but it wasn’t exactly a pet. It could use words to convey its intentions, and was better at arguing than Heber.

It glanced at Matthew and spoke in a cold, hoarse voice. “I can fly by myself.”

When Brenda and Edith heard this, they were surprised by how tough Athosen was.

Not only did it insult the Dark Demon Dragon, who had the noble bloodline of the divine dragon, but its attitude towards its master was also extremely arrogant, completely lacking the behavior of a pet.

This was the first time the two sisters had seen such a strange mutated beast.

It was mainly because it was extremely rare for a beast to be able to talk.

Matthew paid no attention to Athosen’s attitude.

Because ever since this fellow hatched, it had never given anyone a good attitude.

Athosen did not speak properly to even the stone statue in the blood-red cave.

When Heber heard Athosen call it a smelly dragon, its prideful bloodline made it unable to tolerate the insult.

Immediately, Heber let out a roar to express its anger, and demanded Athosen’s apology.

“What are you shouting for?”

How could Athosen possibly apologize? “I know of few races that are extremely fond of eating divine dragons. How about I take you to see them?”

Brenda and Edith were alarmed.

In their impression, divine dragons were a supreme existence.

Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined that there would be such a savage race that would actually dare to eat divine dragons as food.

Matthew, on the other hand, was very curious as to what races could eat the powerful divine dragons. If there was a chance, he would definitely ask Athosen to introduce him.

Of course, he was only curious. That was why he wanted Athosen to introduce him to them. He definitely had no other intentions.

“Roar!”

Heber let out a deafening roar.

It had enough of Athosen’s rudeness, although it had never tolerated it.

The dragon’s roar was filled with boundless rage, as though it was challenging Athosen.

“You want to fight?”

Athosen’s aura surged, and its eyes flashed with bloodlust.

Its body gradually floated into the air as it said domineeringly, “Perfect, it’s time to taste blood. I’ll reward you with the highest form of death!”

“Roar!”

Heber growled, refusing to back down.

As it approached, its body ignited with demonic purple flames.

In midair, there was a hundred-meter tall dragon covered in flames and a three-meter tall red giant.

The red giant was as small as an ant in front of Heber.

However, its arrogance was no less than Heber’s.

At this moment, Athosen stood in mid-air like a demon god, looking down on everything in the world.

Brenda and Edith immediately summoned their beasts and retreated a few kilometers away.

Although they did not know how powerful Athosen was, they had seen Heber fight before, and the destructive power was extremely terrifying.

At close range, the two sisters might not be able to withstand the aftermath of the battle.

Therefore, they decisively retreated a few kilometers.

Matthew, who was on top of Heber’s head, frowned at the smell of gunpowder in the air.

These two were his mutated beasts. However, because of their unyielding personalities, huge sparks erupted between them.

“Enough!”

Matthew’s shout silenced their anger.

With a gloomy expression, he said in a dignified tone, “Do you think I don’t exist?”

“Isn’t it because this damned smelly dragon being proud for nothing?” Athosen took the lead in explaining his motives with the advantage of being able to speak.

“Roar!”

Heber growled at Matthew.

Matthew could sense its intentions. This damned fellow’s temper is too foul, and it doesn’t respect its master at all!

When Heber spoke of respect, Matthew could not help but feel emotional.

“If the system found Athosen, then he would have treated me the same way Heber did.”

The Godly Treasure Hunting System would leave a mark on what Matthew had found.

That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about losing the item.

If it was a living creature that had yet to hatch, the system would leave a mark on its mind.

This was clear from looking at Heber.

Demonic beasts were abnormally ferocious beasts that would sometimes even attack their masters.

Heber had never been aggressive toward him because of the system.

“How about… I stuff Athosen into an egg and throw it somewhere. Then, the system will find it…”

Matthew shook his head inwardly, dismissing his unrealistic thoughts.

“Athosen!”

He said authoritatively, “You and Heber are my companions. I don’t want any conflict between you two.”

“Companion…”

The word felt foreign to Athosen.

Although it had just been born, because of its bloodline, it had inherited many things, especially memories.

However, there didn’t seem to be a word ‘companion’ in its inherited memories, causing it to be unable to understand its meaning.

On the other side, Brenda and Edith were also slightly moved when they heard the word ‘companion’.

The two sisters had almost never seen a Beast Tamer refer to beasts as their companions.

Was this the difference between a Dragon Knight and other Beast Tamers?

Perhaps, it was precisely because of this that Matthew was chosen by the divine dragon… Brenda and Edith thought to themselves.
