Chapter 129: Double-headed Python As Slave And Fire Lion Emperor As Mount

Axel's PoV:

A few minutes had passed and the fire lion emperor was at death's door.

It was a miracle that the fire lion emperor had lasted for several seconds without the supply of oxygen and not to mention that its body was covered in flames that were leeches of oxygen.

What could I expect from a world with magic? The fire lion emperor might have used its mana to convert it into oxygen so that it would survive for several minutes.

I had used my mana sense on the fire lion emperor and it seemed that there weren't any more mana inside its body.

After the fire lion emperor had no longer any mana inside its body, the flames that covered its body were extinguished due to a lack of mana and oxygen to sustain it.

I went in front of the water sphere and canceled my magic to release the fire lion emperor that was trapped inside my water sphere magic.

The fire lion emperor's body fell on the ground after it was released from the water sphere.

The fire lion emperor tried to recover its mana and it panted heavily to quickly inhale oxygen.

The fire lion emperor was at its weakest state and not to mention that it was vulnerable since it still had not recovered a significant amount of mana in its body.

I went in front of the fire lion emperor and looked at its pitiful state.

"Are you convinced of my power and capabilities? If you agree to sign a contract with me and become my mount, I'll let you live."

I told to the fire lion emperor while waiting for it to respond.

The fire lion emperor quickly nodded its head and agreed to be my mount.

Since it had already agreed, I used my [Enslavement] skill to make the fire lion emperor my slave.

After the fire lion emperor became my slave, I transferred some of my mana so that it would quickly recover and rode on its back.

The fire lion emperor walked towards the protective array while I was mounting on it.

I opened an entrance on the protective array that was big enough for both the fire lion emperor and me to enter.

After the fire lion emperor and I entered the protective array, the double-headed python followed suit.

After the double-headed python went inside the protective array, I closed off the entrance so that none of the monsters in the Monster's Abode would enter the part of the forest that I had sealed off using the protective array.

I went to my teammates and the junior heroes while riding on the back of the fire lion emperor.

After my teammates and the junior heroes saw that the monster they were preparing to battle had already been subdued, they unequipped their armor and sheathed their weapons.

I arrived in front of my teammates and the junior heroes near the campfire and I unmounted on the fire lion emperor since I was already at my destination.

My teammates and the junior heroes were back on roasting water wyvern meat barbecue on the campfire since they had already no worries about the monster that had attacked the protective array.

I didn't join my teammates and the junior heroes in roasting water wyvern meat yet but instead focused on the fire lion emperor and double-headed python.

"Master, now that I have finished the task you have given me, I want to become your slave after witnessing the display of your power!"

The double-headed python spoke in an inspired tone while waiting for my response.

"Me too! I have witnessed your abilities and I am convinced that you are worthy to become my master. I will allow you to ride on my back whenever and wherever you want to as long as you accept me as your slave!"

The fire lion emperor joined in the conversation and pleaded to become my slave.

The double-headed python and the fire lion emperor bowed in unison and waited for my answer.

It didn't take me a lot of time before deciding what to do with the double-headed python and the fire lion emperor.

"Since the two of you are eager to become my slave, then I wouldn't reject your plea and will allow you to become my slaves."

I replied to the double-headed python and the fire lion emperor.

"Thanks! Master!"

The double-headed python and the fire lion emperor exclaimed in unison.

I cast my [Enslavement] skill on the fire lion emperor and the fire lion emperor didn't resist it.

After I finished enslaving the fire lion emperor using my magic, I checked up on my teammates and the junior heroes.

I saw that my teammates and the junior heroes were dissecting the water wyvern meat out of the water wyvern's corpse.

After the meat of the water wyvern was removed, all that remained was a skeleton of the water wyvern.

I found out that the organs of the water wyvern were already dissected beforehand and it was dissected by an expert.

It must be Distere who dissected most of the water wyvern since the chef class had a set of skills related to cooking.

It should be possible that Distere had a skill that allowed him to dissect any living being which would be helpful when the time comes.

A dissection skill would also be valuable if it was used on high-level monsters that had numerous pricy parts on their body such as a monster's hide, fur, and teeth.

The fire lion emperor headed towards my teammates and the junior heroes while the double-headed python stayed beside me.

The fire lion emperor went towards the place where my teammates and the junior heroes placed the water wyvern meat that they had dissected from the corpse of the water wyvern.

The fire lion emperor took a kilo of water wyvern meat from the stack of water wyvern meat that my teammates and the junior heroes had placed away from the campfire and on top of a flat wood that Aerin might have conjured.

The fire lion emperor bite through the water wyvern meat on its mouth and chewed it.

My teammates and the junior heroes didn't mind the fire lion emperor eating few kilos of the water wyvern meat that they had dissected.

It's not that my teammates and the junior heroes didn't mind it.

They had no choice but to turn a blind eye to what the fire lion emperor had done since they were powerless against the fire lion emperor except for me.

Although the fire lion emperor was already tamed by me, my teammates and the junior heroes weren't taking any chances and they up their guards whenever the fire lion emperor looked at them.

Since I had written a contract with the fire lion emperor, not only I can converse telepathically with the fire lion emperor, I am also able to check up upon the physical, mental, and spiritual condition of the fire lion emperor.

The reason why the fire lion emperor often looked at my teammates and the junior heroes was because my teammates and the junior heroes kept on looking at the fire lion emperor when it ate the water wyvern meat which made it uneasy.

So, the fire lion emperor looked at my teammates and the junior heroes as a signal to mind their own business but it was misunderstood by my teammates and the junior heroes as a provocation.

My teammates and the junior heroes thought that the reason why the fire lion emperor kept on looking at them was that the fire lion emperor was planning on eating them next.

Of course, it was only a misunderstanding since the fire lion emperor wouldn't have the guts to attack my teammates as long as I was alive.

It wasn't a bad thing that the fire lion emperor ate some of the water wyvern meat since there was too much water wyvern meat.

The water wyvern meat that my teammates and the junior heroes had dissected from the corpse of the water wyvern might have reached several tons now instead of kilos.

The valuable parts of the water wyvern such as its tendons, scales, and hard bones were placed on a flat wood that was conjured by Aerin and Catherine.

The water wyvern meat and the other valuable parts of the water wyvern weren't placed on the ground since it would put dirt on it but instead, it was placed on wood from the trees of the Monster's Abode.

I didn't know when Aerin and Catherine built the wooden floor which was placed on the ground but I could comment that they did a good job in building it.

The wooden floor was smooth on the surface which shown that an expert in woodwork was involved in building the wooden floor.

Distere must have helped Aerin and Catherine in smoothing the surface of the wooden floor to avoid any rough edges that would harm the water wyvern's valuable parts.

"Master, aren't you planning on joining your teammates?"

The double-headed python turned its head towards me and asked me.

"Nah, maybe later. I'll stand guard if anything happens outside the protective array that would harm my teammates."

I replied to the double-headed python.

"As expected of the master! Master must have detected the hundreds of high-level monster stampede that are heading towards the protective array!"

"Wait, what?!"
