Mythical Slayer: Mythical Girls Contract-Chapter 97 97 – Dragon King’s Presence

Then Kai turned to Amber with a curious look.

"What's the result of your investigation, Amber? You said you had an important matter that couldn't be discussed through telepathy?"

"Yes." The Phoenix girl nodded. "It is a very important matter. Maybe only I felt this, and I had only told Ibaraki so far, but…"

Kai looked at Amber, his brow furrowed in concern. "What is it that you felt?" he asked, his voice soft and gentle. "Don't hesitate and tell me about it."

Amber hesitated for a moment, her eyes darting back and forth as if searching for the right words. Finally, she took a deep breath and looked directly into Kai's eyes.

"This afternoon, I felt something strange in the distance," she said hesitantly. "A massive owner of Spirit Power was approaching Romania from the direction of the US."

Kai's eyes widened, and he leaned forward, eager to hear more. "Go on," he prompted.

'From the US?' 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

Who could it be? There shouldn't be any creature that could be described as having a massive Spirit Power that resided in the US.

If there was any, then Amber would surely tell him the first day they met to be careful around that creature. The fact she didn't tell him anything meant…

'Either the creature isn't a danger to me, or that creature is in a dormant state.'

"It's difficult to explain," Amber continued, a hint of frustration creeping into her voice. "It's like a pulsing aura of raw power and ancient wisdom. But at the same time, there's something unsettling about it, like it's not complete yet."

Kai frowned, his mind racing. "Do you have any idea where the owner of that Spirit Power currently is?" he asked, his tone serious.

That was unsettling. Raw power and ancient wisdom. If even Amber, one who had lived for a long time, described it as that, it was really unsettling.

Amber nodded. "Yes, I know where it is. It's coming from the north, beyond the dark cloud," she said. "It's staying there as if keeping something in check."

Kai was quiet for a moment, contemplating Amber's words. That meant the owner of that Spirit Power caused this rain.

'Rain, huh? There are only a few Mythical creatures that can cause rain just by existing.'

"And you only just now recognized the owner of this Spirit Power?" he asked, his eyes searching Amber's face for any hint of uncertainty.

Amber nodded again, her expression turning grim. "I'm afraid so," she said, her voice low. "But now that I have, I can tell you with certainty that it's the Dragon King."

Kai's eyes widened, and he let out a low whistle of amazement. "The Dragon King?" he repeated, his voice filled with awe. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm positive," Amber said, her eyes shining with determination. "Her Spirit Power is unmistakable. It's a feeling that could only belong to one of the most formidable creatures in the Supernatural World. She controlled the weather. There is no way I could mistake hers for someone else's."

His mind drifted back to what happened 10 years ago. The rain at that time caused floods in the US, which was rare considering the country's terrain. He joked that the Dragon King was sad, but was it really just his joke?

What if the Dragon King was really sad and cried at that time? That would explain the disaster. It was famous that whenever the Dragon King cried, the world would be attacked by massive floods, storms, and tsunamis.

This time, the rain only seemed to affect Romania. Which meant the Dragon King used their power with restraint to keep something in check.

Kai leaned against his hands, his mind racing with a thousand questions.

"What do you think he's doing here?" he asked, his voice filled with wonder. "Was it due to Boogeymen's appearance? I heard the Boogeymen also showed up 10 years ago."

Amber shook her head. "I'm not sure."

Kai ran his hand through his hair, trying to calm himself down. He knew he needed to focus and think logically. He needed to consider all the possibilities, no matter how frightening they may be. He couldn't let fear cloud his judgment.

The Dragon King could also be here due to his presence, the Ruler, the descendant of the strongest. So he turned to the person who was knowledgeable about the Ruler.

He looked at Ibaraki, who was looking at him with a steeled gaze. "Ibaraki," he said, his voice gentle but firm. "Do you have any theories as to why the Dragon King is here? Anything at all, no matter how small or far-fetched it may seem."

Gulping, the Oni girl nodded.

"The Dragon King and the strongest have a unique bond," Ibaraki began, her voice low and serious.

"It's a partnership unlike any other, formed not by contract, but by mutual respect and trust. The Dragon King is one of the few creatures in the supernatural world who is said to be on equal footing with the strongest, and their relationship is an open secret."

Kai listened intently, his eyes fixed on Ibaraki's face. He had never heard of such a relationship between the strongest and any other creature before. He thought every Mythical creature that was close to him had contracts with the man.

"What do you mean by 'equal footing'?" he asked, his voice curious.

Ibaraki leaned back in her seat, her eyes closed in thought. "It means that they are partners, not master and servant," she explained. "They have a relationship built on mutual respect, trust, and understanding. They work together, not as the Ruler and a subject, but as equals."

Kai was quiet for a moment, his mind racing with thoughts. Ignoring the relationship between the strongest and the Dragon King, the question still remains.

"Do you think the Dragon King is here because of me, the Ruler and the descendant of the strongest?" he asked, his voice filled with wonder.

Ibaraki shrugged, a small smile still playing on her lips. "It's possible," she said.

"But it's also possible that the Dragon King is here for her own reasons. But, Master. We need to be really careful around the Dragon King. If she's either mad or sad, this world will be attacked by storms for at least a week, causing many destruction."

Kai nodded, his mind whirling with possibilities. The Dragon King was a creature of immense power, and the fact that she was here in Romania was a cause for concern. He needed to find out what was happening and why she was here and told the Vampire lord in case he didn't realize it.

"Thank you for the information, Ibaraki," he said, his voice grateful. "I will consider all possibilities and try to find out what is happening. We need to be prepared for anything."

"Yes, Master. Anything for you." Ibaraki showed a beautiful smile as she closed her eyes. "I am glad I can pay for my mistake and help you this fast."
