The Immortal Player

Chapter 69: Gem of Authority!

'Enough fooling around... I need to chase the beasts and the Karakoa! I don't want to stay any longer here!' Pedro reverted to his human form as he scratched his head.

'Eh... Where are my clothes?!" When Pedro reverted to his human form, he was nak*d and only held the inventory bag that covered his sensitive part.

'Sh*t! I have no extra clothes!'

"What a lewd human!"

"Shut up!" He started scanning to his inventory bag as if he was looking for a pen in his messy bag.

'Please! Please! Any clothes will do!' He scanned around his inventory until he saw a red crystal.

'I guess... I'll stay in dragon form for now~'

'Oh! That item! I almost forgot about it!'

"So... It can't be helped! You need to... die!" He shooked his head after taking out a red crystal.

"YOU! YOU DARE!" The dragon bellowed in anger as she kept struggling to escape Pedro's control.

"I DARE? Of course! I wonder how a roasted dragon taste?! Hehe!" He rubbed his chin while having malicious intent to the dragon.

"YOOOOOOOOU!"

"I guess, I'll go with that!" He smirked as he transformed back into his dragon form.

(He needs to be in his human form to take out stuff from his inventory bag. The bag is placed in his finger like a ring, when he is in his dragon form.)

"Stop! Stop! Please! I am the inheritor of the god of Beast! If you kill me... the lineage of the god of Beast will be forever extinct!" The dragon tried to bargain her way out that astonished Pedro.

"It's transferable!?"

"You think gods live eternally?!"

"Well... yeah! Ain't it why they were called gods?"

"Tsk! Humans were more stupid than I thought!"

"What did you say?!" Pedro stared at Faunia like it was his prey.

"Ah... nothing! nothing! Hehe... Anyway... We, gods, can have eternal life... That's if our life would be a peaceful one! Unfortunately, like any other creature or being, we can kill each other if we are strong enough! Don't get your hopes too high! Besides a stronger god, no other creature or being can touch us!" Faunia explained trying to convince Pedro at her best.

"Hoho... Then, why don't you transfer it to me! I'll be a better god of Beast than you would be!"

"You!"

"Don't make me waste my offer! I don't mind god of Beast lineage to go extinct!"

pfffft!

FWOOOOH!

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Faunia could only bellow in pain as Pedro breathed fire to her left wings and scorched it.

*Crunch!

"Aaaaaaaaa! YOU! Aaaaaaaaa!"

*Nom! Nom! Nom!

*Gulp!

'Not Bad! But... I don't like it! It tastes like the frog I ate in my camp during elementary!'

"I'll give you one last chance! Transfer it or die!"

"I'D RATHER DIE THAN LET SOME... GLUTTON CARRY THE LINEAGE OF THE GOD OF BEAST!" She resisted one last time as Pedro wore a serious look.

"Well then!"

Pfffffffffffffft!

Fwooooooooooh!

*Thog

"Aaaaaaaa~" Faunia's body crashed to the ground after Pedro breathed fire directly in the dragon's chest. A molten hole was left, where her heart was located. Her eyes lost its brightness as the red crystal on the ground shined bright. Pedro reverted to human form to pick up the crystal.

[System Notification!]

[Gem of Authority can be used! Use it? Yes or No]

The soul of the nearby corpse was trapped in the crystal! You have 5 minutes left to use the crystal and resurrect the corpse!

...

'If only I could use this to resurrect one of them... There's no point in regretting anymore!' He wore a serious look, but... deep inside, his heart was broken. The gem of authority can only resurrect someone, with a corpse as if infusing the soul back to the body. Unfortunately, Madame Soledad and the other's body were reduced to ash, or almost... Hence, the gem of authority won't work on them.

"Yes!"

...

[Would the target retain its memories or not?]

...

"Hmm... It's obviously... retain! That way... she won't forget about what she did!"

...

[Gem of Authority successfully used!]

...

*Crack! Crack! Crack!

*Fwooooosh!

The red crystal broke as a red ray shot up into the sky. After seconds, a golden ray shot down from the sky to the dragon's corpse. The corpse was enveloped by a golden light that made Pedro cover her eyes from the brightness.

"She's unconscious khuh! Then, I'll handle her 'pets' first!" Pedro transformed into his dragon form and flew towards the beasts.

*Fwoosh!

Pedro was so fast that in less than minutes he was able to keep up with the eagle who was in front of all the escaping beasts.

*SCREECH!

"HALT!" Pedro bellowed to stop the beasts with fear. However, they continued to escape and ignore Pedro.

'They're too stubborn... like their master!'

*Booom!

*Blag! Blag! Blag! Blag! Blag!

*Bhaaag!

"STOOOP!"

ROOOOOAR!

Pedro slapped the giant eagle with his tail down the forest that intercepted the escaping beasts and treants. Then, he went down and roared that completely stopped all of them in their tracks.

"LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SPEAK!" Pedro transformed into his human form and equipped the ring of voices.

"Your master was resurrected and is in my control! Hence... I am her master! Your master's master is also your master! So Listen and Follow me!"

"SUCH... LIES! DON'T... LISTEN TO HIM!" The giant eagle screeched as it was barely able to stand on its legs.

"Khe... Shut up! Here I thought I would show some mercy!" Pedro became irritated and glanced towards the eagle.

"You... You can understand us?! Ho... How?!"

"It doesn't matter how! Listen! Though, I won't hurt your goddess... I have changed my mind... and... I'll bring her along with me and leave this damned continent!"

"YOU!"

"I WON'T HURT HER! BUT... In exchange, none of you must tell this to anyone, especially the other gods! This is for your benefits too!"

"Who said we would agree to you?"

"HMM!" Pedro stared at the eagle that was somehow forced to kneel and bow to Pedro.

"Gre... Great... master! If... it... meant... the... safety... of... the... goddess... then... We... treants... agree!" Tan the treant bowed in respect as the other treants followed.

"You! Traitors!" Kag (the eagle) burst in anger.

"It... is... for... the... goddess' ... sake! Even... if... it... cost... our... lives... treants... will... give... our... lives... for... the... goddess!"

"Enough! I won't kill anyone... Besides, concealing everything was for your benefit and safety! It doesn't matter to me! It is to protect the domain of your goddess when she is gone! Anyway! Treant! What do you know about Nearis Tree?"

"Nearis... Tree? We... are... the... Nearis... Tree... you... speak... of... master!"
