Chapter 11: Introducing Lightning, She Cried

Inside Chris's mansion, Stella and Mia are happily chatting in the dining area while sipping on their tea.

" Sister Mia, when will the Lord come back? It's been an hour and a half since he disappeared" Stella asked

She is still worried even though Mia already assured her that Chris just came to visit his dragon.

Mia was about to reply to her that she didn't know when Chris would come back.

But suddenly, Chris appeared in front of them.

" Lord" the two of them stood on their seat and instinctively greeted him in shock.

Though they might be joking and playing around with Chris on a few occasions they are still loyal and respectful to him.

At the same time, Chris noticed the two girls and nodded at them. He also noticed that the two seemed much closer before he entered the Dragon Ranch. It's a great relief for him.

Though they have different roles in his territory, it's quite unpleasant if his subordinates are not harmonious with each other.

"Where is Kratus?" He asked since he didn't notice him around them.

Mia immediately gives a response to him.

" Lord, Kratus had just finished doing his morning training and currently taking a bath upstairs".

Chris nodded to her.

" Alright, you two come with me for a moment. I have someone to introduce to the two of you outside".

Chris led them outside after he asked them. The two also followed him obediently.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Mia's eyes after she heard that there was someone that her Lord would introduce.

As far as she remembers, her Lord just summons Stella this morning and had no idea where this someone to introduce came from.

Moreover, she noticed that Chris didn't come out with Terra.

She was already expecting that Terra would come out with her Lord. She can't help herself to ask.

" Lord, you didn't summon Terra?"

" Terra is currently sleeping and in a moment of some matter, it is inconvenient to summon her at the moment. "

Mia was disappointed with Chris's reply, she also prepared a portion of Dragon Fruit pie for Terra. Unfortunately, she can't come out at the moment.

Outside the mansion, Chris closed his eyes and felt the presence of the dragons inside his dragon ranch.

Once he senses the dragon ranch, he easily spots the presence of Terra. But, he didn't intend to summon her since she was in the process of digesting the Divine dragon fruit.

Next to Terra, he felt another dragon's presence.

It was Lightning who was currently running around her habitat.

Without further words, he chose to summon her outside.

Lightning who is happily running around the habitat was not able to react when the summoning force pulled her.

In an instant, she saw that her surroundings changed.

Luckily, she also saw Chris the moment she appeared which eased her sense of panic.

Stella and Mia were also surprised when Lightning suddenly appeared beside Chris.

Especially, Stella, her eyes turn vigilant when a strange creature appears at the side of her Lord.

She was about to pull out her hammer when she was stopped by Mia's next sentence.

" Lord is that Centipede your new pet? " Mia curiously asked.

To be honest, she was also surprised but not because of the sudden appearance of Lightning since she already saw it a few times how her Lord summoned Terra before.

Instead, her surprise was due to her seeing a big strange centipede.

Stella also puts down her vigilance and observes the big centipede.

Well besides the strange wings on its back and its one-meter-long body, there are no other remarkable features that make it different from a centipede.

Chris was about to introduce Lightning to both of them but suddenly, lightning was the first to reply to them.

" Who is a Centipede?" ಠಿ_ಠ

Lightning asked with a dissatisfied tone.

Stella was stunned, ' the centipede talk?'.

At the moment, Chris just silently observes them since they take the initiative to converse.

He also noticed Stella's reaction after she heard Lightning's voice and felt like laughing.

Well her reaction was like a pet owner who is talking to her pet when suddenly the pet talked back to her.

If this happened on earth, the owner might run away from the pet or get a heart attack in an instant.

Mia was also stunned but she already encountered Terra who is also able to talk.

She easily accepted the fact that this centipede could talk.

" Aren't you a Centipede?" She directly replied with a hint of confusion.

Aside from a few places in Lightning's body everything resembled a centipede.

Lightning was immediately angered after hearing her reply.

" I'm a dragon, I'm a dragon"(ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻

She complained.

Right now, Chris decided to interrupt them. Lightning was already throwing tantrums towards Mia and started to get angry with her.

" Okay, Mia stop teasing her. This Centipede is Lightning a new companion of mine. "

" I'm a dragon master"(｡•́︿•̀｡) lightning weakly complained to him.

Chris smiled at her complaint and reaction. He is also just trying to tease her and feels like it is fun.

" Alright, she also has a dragon bloodline, to be precise she is a mutated dragon centipede so don't mistake her for a normal centipede. "

Lightning's sad face suddenly lit up once Chris reintroduced her. There was a hint of pride on her face.

Unlike Terra who is just playful, lightning is also playful but can easily be triggered especially when talking about her race.

Well, it was due to her bloodline being mutated.

But based on his understanding, her bloodline doesn't lose out to those dragons with pure bloodline.

Especially, once she evolved into a 24-winged dragon centipede.

At the same time, the mansion door opened and Kratus walked out of the mansion.

Once he saw Chris, he gave him his greeting.

After greeting Chris, his attention was caught by Lightning who had a proud look on her face.

" What a cute centipede" he muttered.

Lightning heard him and her expression turned ugly again.

Her eyes started turning red in anger.

Kratus who called her a centipede doesn't have the idea that he hit a forbidden button. He was innocently observing the little dragon centipede.

Mia and Stella also shook their head and covered their mouth while trying to contain their laughter.

Chris frowned at Lightning's action and worried that Lightning would suddenly attack from anger.

Unexpectedly, tears started to form in the corner of her eyes.

At the same time, she started to cry and throw tantrums again.

" Master, Master they are too much. They are bullying me"(〒﹏〒) she cried while pointing one of her claws at his three subordinates.

Chris shook his head and was speechless at the sudden turn of events. He didn't expect that lightning would cry instead of attacking.

Mia at the side, pulls out a piece of pie and walks toward lightning.

" Lightning stop crying. Here, you can have this Dragon Fruit pie. It will make you a strong dragon" she comforted while showing the piece of Dragon fruit pie in her hand.

Lightning was easily captivated by the sweet smell that was wafting around the pie and started to stop crying.

She curiously looks at the item that Mia's offering to her.

Mia feeds her the pie and the little dragon expression turns into bliss.

" Do you have more?" Lightning asked after finishing the piece of pie.

Mia sighed in relief after seeing Lightning seem to like her Dragon fruit pie. She also felt guilty for mistakenly thinking that she was a Centipede.

" I have some more, follow me to the kitchen"

Lightning nods and follows her.

" Sister Mia, you're a good person"

Mia's mouth twitched after receiving a good person card from Lightning.

Chris was glad that Mia managed to comfort her.

Luckily, Mia's food has a strong comforting ability towards these foodies.

At the same time Chris, pull out some potato and meat for Mia to cook.

" Mia, take this I'm a bit hungry also"

....

After an hour, everyone finished their meal and was currently outside the mansion.

Stella who is sitting at the patch of grass in front of the mansion was suddenly alerted. She heard the sound of footsteps running towards their location.

" Lord a group of enemies are running toward the west " she immediately reported.

Chris together with Kratus also looks in the west direction after hearing Stella.

After a few minutes, a pack of wolves outside his territory barrier came into their sight.

This time, there are a total of 10 wolves, where 3 out of the 10 are elite Ferocious wolves. The rest are all tier-1 lower-stage ferocious wolves.

Chris smiled after seeing this group of wolves. He would gain another batch of loots, from these groups.

Gladly, the timing of these wolves was on time. There is still an hour left before lightning returns to the Dragon Ranch.

Moreover, this group would be a good practice target to test Lightning and Stella's abilities.

Chris looked towards Stella and Kratus's position, he saw the two were already holding their weapon and prepared to charge at any moment.

On the other hand, Lightning was curiously looking in the wolf's direction.

She just hatched a couple of hours ago and was new to seeing these monsters.

At the same time, Chris started to give his subordinates an order.

" Kratus, take care of the 3 elite Ferocious wolves. Stella will take down the lower stage one"

The two nodded at him signifying that they understood.

At the same time, Chris called out for Lighting.

" Lightning, you have to assist them but don't use a very strong thunder breath if not needed".

Lightning intensely listens to his order and gazes toward the wolves that are busy pouncing the barrier.
