SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

As Kt walked down to the underg basemt, he saw a bleeding Fire Kirin, tied to an iron structure with chains and magic yantra threads.

The angry glares of fire Kirin pointed at Kt, who is walking towards her. Kt countered a strange feeling while staring at the wild Kirin eyes.

"What is this feeling?!" Kt muttered while approaching the Fire Kirin, along with Ria.

Slowly, Kt's gaze turned from the Fire Kirin to an old man who stood beside the iron structure. With a long, flowing beard, a wood smoking pipe, a strong odour from his soiled clothes, and a bt back, the old man appeared like old Magus, who is at the d of his life span.

The old man's constant cough disturbed Kt's focus.

"Young Master Kt, this mighty figure is a Grand Magus who brought this wild Kirin for you. Also, he will help you finish the blood contract with the wild Kirin." Ria, who stood on one side, introduced the old man to Kt.

Kt smiled at the old man with a little head bow. The old man just nodded his head and ignored Kt like an everyday customer.

"Respected Grand Magus, what happed to this fire, Kirin? Why is it bleeding so much blood?" Kt asked the old man while staring at the wild Kirin, who is glaring at him angrily.

The old man smirked after hearing Kt's question. "Boy, is this your first time purchasing a higher-ranking pet?" The old man asked with a lazy look.

Kt turned towards the old man and replied, "Respect Magus... yes, it is my first pet. That's why I'm very curious. I'm sorry if I asked any annoying questions."

The old man felt surprised by the humble attitude of Kt. Usually, the rich heirs who buy wild pets won't ev care about his presce. They will directly command the blood contract and leave as soon as possible without ev seeing the face of the old man.

After taking a long look at Kt, who has scholarly features, the old man checked Kt's Magus level. "What the…?! He is just an 8th grade Magus. Why did he order a wild pet?" The old man muttered in a surprised tone.

'Ahhhkk… Ahhhkk…' the old man suddly began coughing with a loud noise. He faced the wall and took support from not falling down. Soon, the old man began coughing up thick, red blotches.

Ria, who is afraid of blood, hurriedly took a step back and distanced herself from the old man. But Kt, out of instinct, took out a cloth from his bracelet and approached the old man.

The old man's situation became more dire as he began coughing more blood, lost strgth, and slowly slipped down to the floor along the wall.

Kt hurriedly took a step forward and grabbed the waist of the old man, and supported him by holding his shoulder.

As the old man was very heavy to carry, Kt turned towards Ria. "Ria, grab that chair fast."

The old man's cough continued, and he ev stained Kt's clothes with his red-clotted blood. But Kt ignored everything and helped the old man to sit on the wood chair.

Usually, Kt is not a busy person who helps random people. He was ev afraid of getting into fights in the past. Ev though he had the intt to help the people who were injured or wounded, he never took that step forward. But today, out of instinct, he helped the old man.

The old man's cough stopped after eating a small pill from his storage. The old man used the cotton cloth to clean his face.

While cleaning, he saw the clothes of Kt, which turned a bright red color. "Sorry... Sorry... Young man, I spoiled your clothes." The old man said it repeatedly in a perplexed tone.

"No need, elder. It's just a small thing. I have many sets of new clothes with me. It won't be a big problem." Kt replied in a casual tone.

The old man stared at Kt's face for a long time until he got disturbed by the strong odour of his coughed blood.

"Young man, let's finish the blood contract. We can't stay in this room much longer." The old man said while trying to stand up from his seat.

"Elder, you still didn't answer my question? Why is this Kirin bleeding so much?" Kt asked again.

The old man sighed after hearing Kt's question. But he didn't feel annoyed like the previous time. "Young man, the process of capturing wild beasts is a life-and-death issue. I am one of the top agts who work for Great Magus Pet Store to capture wild pets and deliver them to customers.

This particular wild Kirin is much stronger than I expected. I fought against it for a long time to capture it. During that process, this Kirin received several wounds from me, and my body also received several internal wounds." The old man explained at a slow pace, taking long and heavy breaths.

As Kt helped rub the old man's back to ease the breathing, the old man sighed in disappointmt. "For this dangerous act, I only receive 40% of what you paid to the Great Magus pet store." The old man laughed with self-pity.

Kt felt pity for the old man after hearing the risk he took for 40% of the cost. "Elder Magus, if you don't mind, can you tell me about the blood contract?" Kt asked while exchanging a glance with the wild Kirin, who was still glaring at him angrily.

The old man, who felt great about Kt's helpful act, adjusted his throat and began explaining about blood contracts. "Young man, blood contract is nothing but binding the soul of the beast to your command.

After your blood drops fall on its Bramha circle on the head of the beast, its soul will be bound to you. Blood contracts are only needed for the higher-level beasts who can evolve in the future. Once blood contract happ, the beast won't evolve in the future and obey your command like a slave."

Kt, who never knew much about blood contracts, felt baffled after hearing the old man's explanation. "Master, isn't it wrong to cut down their future as evolved beasts and make them slaves?

As far as I know, they will take human form after evolution and live a life like us. So, the blood contract is nothing less than killing it." Kt interrupted the old man, as he felt it was very wrong to perform a blood contract.

The old man laughed at Kt's remarks. "Young man, you seem immature about the outside world. There is a very slight chance for these beasts to evolve. Ev th, who cares about the lives of beasts? All rich people need a dazzling pet to show off their status."

The old man replied with scornful laughter while remembering his previous customers, who were eager to perform blood contracts on high-ranking beasts without ev thinking about the beast's future.

Kt fell into a dilemma after knowing what he was going to do with Wild Kirin's future. He felt very wronged to make the Kirin his slave for its tire life.

"Young man, stop taking pity on this beast. Your human rules won't apply to the beast world. So, let's finish the blood contract." The old man said this while standing up from his chair.

Kt, still stuck in his thoughts, replied in a determined tone. "Elder, I don't want to perform a blood contract with it. Can you please release Kirin in its original place?" Kt asked with a serious face.

The old man's eyes wt wide after hearing Kt's words. He turned towards Kt's side with a surprised face. Ev Ria felt baffled after hearing Kt's decision.

The Wild Fire Kirin, who has be glaring at Kt until now, turned head surprisingly.
