Zephine's eyes began to glow furiously and the meeting room of the Crescent Tower began to shake vigorously. Everyone but Kim and Hanson started to shudder and vomit due to her tremendous power and presence.
"Hm!! Guess you're not a Merlin for nothing. And you're the 13th?? You really have lived long enough to see the world, huh?", Zephine said still staring at Kim fiercely. "Umm... Babe don't you think you should calm down? Almost everyone is puking ", Hanson said with worry in his eyes. He'd never seen his wife this angry before. "Sheesh senior. Don't look at me like that. It's not like I killed you in your past life. And I'm a bit surprised. You actually married someone, although without his consent, who can harbor your anger issues...(boom)", Kimodo said whith his head tilted as a powerful beam from Zephine just missed his head by a few centimeters.
Immediately the damaged part of the building began to restore itself. The whole tower was made by self-restoring nano materials.
"Interesting!! Now for my first question, how do you know my original name and the fact that I didn't die a natural death?", Zephine asked.
" I think you might already know the answer to that ! ", Kim said with a mischievous grin.
"No way!!! It's impossible!! Unless you're a time traveler or..... Did you...??? ", Zephine said with shock.
" Ding! Ding! Ding! You got it! I have your personal diary and your research diary! ", Kimodo said covering his mouth and giggling.
Only God knows what he saw in her personal diary. Immediately the room started to tremble again and this time Zephine was covered in lightning ready to explode the room. Everyone was glued to their seats and sweating profusely.....everyone but Kim.
Then Zephine aimed all that lightning at Kimodo "{Lightning Piercing Gaze}!! You may be a Merlin but this SS grade skill will definitely injure you. I'll only say this once give me back my diary. ", Zephine said ready to fire.
Kimodo looked up at her with one eye while smiling and spoke, "Not happening!"
Immediately the mass of lightning came rushing towards Kimodo.
"This nigga is trying to get us killed!!", Zane exclaimed.
The rest of the members knew they had to get out of range or they'd be fucked but the fear within them had them crippled. This was the massive effect of a battle of Merlins based on just provocation. No wonder Merlin Kimodo didn't have an apprentice.
In the midst of all the panick he stretched his hand and spoke, "Kiwi COME!!!"
Almost immediately a spacial portal opened and out jumped an egg onto his palm. The egg was huge and thick. It was black in colour and had multicolored cracks all over it which looked like lava flowing around the surface of the egg. Kimodo put the egg in the way of the attack and immediately the egg absorbed the SS grade attack. Everyone was dumbfounded and began to go crazy from what just happened. The egg started to wobble and make squeaky sounds like a baby animal. Then the system started to display an info that got Zane, Claw, Hanson and Zephine shaking, since they all knew the details of the egg.
¤Tamed World-Devouring Dragon Egg
Hatching Percentage 30% - 33%¤
(NB: '¤' stands for when the system is speaking)
"Oh?!! A 3% increase!!... Hahahaha, that's a first !!(egg wobbles again) Oh you like that?? Yh that tasted good didn't it? My little baby dragon (making cute facial expressions in front of the egg) I'm sure you'll look gorgeous when you hatch. Ok now ... time to go", Kimodo said.
Everyone swallowed down so hard it resonated through the building and their jaws dropped while looking at the egg jumping back into the spacial portal. There was silence in the room for about 1 minute and Kimodo finally broke the silence.
"If you really want to know I'll tell you. The old site of Arthuro became a dungeon site a few years after we finished building this current Arthuro and there was a secret reward for clearing it solo. The rewards were your diaries and the egg you just saw..... in fact it was the diaries of all the Merlins before my predecessor. In other words, the rewards became a world devouring dragon dungeon."
Dungeon sites refers to places that were once normal and suddenly get swallow by a dungeon making domain. Normally if the dungeon rank is F to C there's an alert from the system. B to SS rank dungeons don't come with alerts from the dungeon and they're also the most frequently appearing ones.
" So you're telling me you solo cleared it without a problem and got my diaries and tamed an unhatched world devouring dragon egg and your stats were obviously raised. And don't tell me you..... "
" Yes I did! I absorbed the core of the guardian of the egg. As a result I obtained {Universal Morph}, {Dragon Eyes} which i fused with your optical skill and now have {All-Seeing Eyes of Knowledge} and finally {World Devouring Dragon Scales} the most impenetrable defense skill. ", Kimodo said.
"Haaaa.... I give up! You can have my diaries.", Zephine said.
" Now hold on!! I've got two things to tell you. The first is a correction. The time travel circle you tried to make was impressive but had serious faults. Honestly I didn't think the most knowledgeable of all the Merlins, besides me of course, would make such mistakes. When you used it only once you were subjected to your current form. Instead of adding the formula to keep your time running you made time run for you to move around other timelines without being noticed so there was no mana left for your body to withstand time. That's why you look like you're a loli in her teens. But I've fixed it and it no longer has a problem and that's how I found out your original name and how you died. Unfortunately I can't bring back your original form", Kim said.
"..... And the second?" , she asked. " I wanna make a deal with you. Give me access to your world library and I'll help you get revenge on the one who killed you.", Kimodo said with his legs crossed and eyes glowing. "What!!?? Are you saying you know the one who killed me and that person is still alive ? Where is he?", she said furiously.
"Firstly it's a she and secondly I won't give any info until we sign the World Library Contract ", Kim said folding his arms.
" How do you know about that?! ", Hanson said.
" Did you forget, I have the all-seeing eye of knowledge ", Kim said.
" Alright I'll do it! As long as I have my revenge. You better not be lying ", Zephine threatened.
" Hang on Zeph! Are you sure? About all of this? ", Hanson asked, worried.
" It's alright honey, I know what I'm doing ", Zephine said.
They signed the contract and things actually got better between Kimodo and Zephine in that short amount of time.
"Now tell me who she is so I can shove a pole up in her womb and ass!!", Zephine said, her white short hair and eyes glowing so brightly she could make a new born baby blind.
"Woowww!!! Language pls. Calm down, I said I'd give info. Not tell you were she is so you can rush off and get killed. Besides (eyes start glowing) I also have business with her in the same department as you.", said Kimodo.
" I see (she starts grinning mischievously and simultaneously with Kimodo)..... What do you plan on telling me then? ", she asked. " Firstly, she's a dark mage that's why even though you used to be an SS rank assassin class CK you were dragged into her domain and got murdered. (Zephine clenching her palm very firmly). Secondly, she's here..... in my country, Arthuro!! ", Kimodo said as his white hair and Zephine's started to glow with both of them emitting lightning. " Ummmm... guys .... the aura emissions are a bit too much, most of us are getting dizzy already!!", Lily said almost past out and about to shed a tear.
"Well I guess you could say.....like Merlin like Merlin", said Zane looking like someone transforming into a ghoul.
Immediately, they heard footsteps of someone in high heels. A lady with a voluptuous body, admirable beauty, big and bouncy boobs, orange and wavy long hair, round glasses and black eyes wearing a seductive black and white office coat was walking towards Kimodo.
"Kim-kun you're gonna be late for the press conference and I'm gonna have to answer to that later!!", she says pouting and pulling on his ears. "Ow! Ow! Owww!!! Hold on I'm not done here", Kim says in pain.
Everyone looked at both of them with shock. The cold, narcissistic and proud Kimodo Arshin was actually being led outside the door by the ear. Even Lily looked on with jealousy. This woman was none other than his personal secretary, Shina , who had worked with Kimodo for over 10 years. There were even news articles of them dating. "We'll take the jet, that'll be faster ", Shina said a with soul piercing authoritative gaze. Immediately when they got outside the Crescent Tower, the base of the Crescent Suns, Kim pulled her towards him while holding her waist.
"No....don't you dar-ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!...you crazy boss!!!!", Shina said as a phoenix with bright golden feathers was summoned from beneath them and swooped them swiftly from the ground. In a matter of minutes they were already on top of the building of the press conference. Shina was screaming her lungs out while tearing during the whole flight.
The moment they reached the roof of the conference hall Shina instinctively knew what was about to happen the moment she saw Kim's weird grin.
"No....Kim-kun I'm not ready. This is not the the time nor place for training my ability. ", she said almost crying.
Shina was an assassin type CK with spacial ability traits. Kimodo had done this a few times to train her for emergency spacial teleportation. He always did so unexpectedly. Although she got better at controlling that ability because of how fast Kim was, she never got used to that scary feeling of being thrown towards objects. And today.....was another one of those days.
