SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

"Are you mad? Can't you see its strength? Let's go back." Sophia replied in a serious tone while mounting her pet.

The elder Fan felt disappointed after hearing Sophia's declaration. Shaking his head, he also mounted his house eagle to turn back.

"Wait." Suddenly, Kent said while staring at the serpent beast.

"What?!" Sophia stared at his back with a questioning glance.

"Kent, don't try anything funny. Let's go. Only a grand master magus could deal with that pet. We are no match." Sophia spoke in a concerned tone as she came to stop beside him.

Instead of listening to her advice, Kent decided to give it a try for his beast tongue technique. Except for his Fire Kirin, he didn't test his beast tongue on other animals.

"Hey, I'm talking to you." Sophia poked his shoulder with a frustrated look. After observing Kent closely, she can guess that Kent is planning something.

"Sophia, stay here and cover me." Kent said while moving forward on his Fire Kirin.

But Sophia hurriedly blocked him with a serious face. "What are you doing?" She spoke in a serious tone while staring into his eyes. She is determined not to let Kent approach that serpent beast.

"Relax, I'm not going to fight that beast. I will just move a little further and take a better look. Just stay here and cover me. Don't worry, I know my limits." Kent replied in a relaxed tone.

Sophia did not understand why Kent is taking this risk. She felt mad, staring at Kent's smiling face. "Is this necessary? If something goes wrong..." Before she finished her sentence, Kent gestured for her to calm down.

"Believe me… Everything will be fine." Kent replied, moving past her.

Even though the village head didn't like Kent approaching that serpent beast, the hope of Kent dealing with the serpent beast didn't let him voice out his concern.

Sophia, who lost the patience to argue with Kent, took out the defense yantra and stood on guard. Her gaze fixed on the serpent's movements. With each step Kent took forward, Sophia's heart raced with tension.

After moving to an audible distance, Kent stopped moving forward. He also clutched a defense Yantra in case of emergency. The jade pendent is also hanging around his neck, ready to use if necessary.

The serpent beast, who is staring at the golden root plant, slowly turned its head, eyeing Kent, who stood in its range.

Taking a deep breath, Kent met the gaze of Fire Kirin. The serpent hissed with a threatening look. Kent took a long time to understand what it is saying.

"Poor human… Jabil is not hungry today. Run Away."

A confident smile formed on Kent's lips after understanding the serpent beast's voice. Holding his breath, Kent hissed, following the beast tongue art mentioned in the manual.

"My friend, I came here to bargain." Kent spoke in a stuttered tone, trying his best to communicate with the beast.

The serpent beast lifted his head and stared at Kent with a bit of surprise. The narrow eyes of the serpent beast opened wide, as it is the first time for the beast to see a human speaking in a serpent tone.

"Poor Human… Did you really speak with Jabil?" The serpent hissed again, trying to confirm whether it's real or imagination.

"Of course, I'm speaking with you." Kent replied back in a hissing tone.

This time, the serpent clearly saw Kent speaking. Its surprise turned into joy as it began laughing in a hissing tone while twisting its body on the ground.

After recognizing its body language, Kent felt relieved. "Thank God, it's not angry for now. But why did this serpent laugh suddenly? Is my tone funny?" Kent thought while interpreting the serpent's actions.

"What the hell is he doing?" Sophia muttered while staring at Kent, who is hissing like a snake. Even the elder Fan also began scratching his head in confusion.

"Hahaha… Jabil always thought poor humans can't speak like my holy race. Hahaha… Jabil will speak with you, even though poor human is weak." The serpent hissed in a joyful tone.

Ignoring the remarks of that serpent beast, Kent began stating his main business. "My friend Jabil... this place is the cultivating fields of villagers. Why don't you leave this place?" Kent hissed, trying his best to sound polite.

"Poor Human… Jabil came here for this delicious plant. Once it's mature, Jabil will leave this dirty place." The serpent hissed while caressing the golden root plant with its head.

"It will take months for that plant to mature. But before that, strong people will come to expel you from this place. I may not be a match for you. But in a few days, beast tamers will come to capture you.

They will torture you and tame you into an obedient pet. It will be better if you leave this place before your fate changes." Kent hissed with a bit of seriousness in his tone. Due to prolonged hissing, he began coughing due to his sore throat.

The lazy smile on the serpent's face vanished after understanding Kent's threat. Rising its hood, it lifted its body like a cobra to the height of a human and stared at Kent with heavy breathing.

"Poor human… How dare you threaten Jabil? Do you have a death wish? Beg me now." The serpent opened its mouth wide, ready to attack if Kent didn't apologize to it.

Sophia began shouting for Kent to come back while preparing to activate the defense Yantra. But Kent raised his hand, gesturing for her to hold on. Sophia felt frustrated by his brazen behavior.

"What a dumb beast you are... I thought of helping you by hinting your future. It seems no one can change your fate. On the day you become a slave to someone, you will regret not listening to me. Good bye."

Kent replied in a serious tone while turning away from the beast. The defense Yantra is ready in his hands in case the beast tries to attack him.
