Era of Pet Beasts: Picking Up a Dark Demon Dragon Egg Right off the Bat - Chapter 17

Matthew tried to persuade it several times, but Heber refused to let Edith get on its back.

With no other choice, Matthew gave up.

After flying for half an hour, they finally arrived at the place Edith had mentioned.

“It’s right ahead.”

Edith shouted, pointing.

A moment later, an extremely tall pillar of light came into view.

“What’s that?” Matthew asked suspiciously.

Edith explained, “That is a barrier created by my four companions to restrict the beast inside. They asked me to leave and get help.”

Matthew couldn’t help but give them a thumbs up in his mind.

Matthew asked again, “What kind of mutated beast is in there that even the five of you can’t deal with?”

Edith immediately answered, “It’s a demonic beast.”

Demonic beast?

Matthew was alarmed.

Although Heber was also a demonic beast, he had seen another demonic beast before that had left a deep impression on him.

Now that he encountered a demonic beast again, he couldn’t help but think of that devilish young man.

“Demonic beast is a little troublesome…”

Matthew thought, looking down.

A minute later.

The two of them finally reached the edge of the barrier.

Whoosh

Heber’s flight was loud.

Edith’s companions had noticed them very early.

Seeing Heber’s figure, Edith’s companions’ eyes widened.

However, after Heber landed, its body returned to the size of a palm and landed on Matthew’s shoulder.

This turned their attention to Matthew.

Who was this young man? How could he have such a huge demonic beast?

And he had come with Edith. Could it be that Edith had brought reinforcement?

The four of them had these questions.

However, no one answered their questions.

“Big sister!”

Edith rushed toward a young girl as soon as she landed.

The girl was wearing a white dress and looked a few years older than Edith.

Her exquisite face and clear eyes easily made people have a good impression of her.

“Sister.”

The girl replied happily.

But because she was supporting the barrier, she couldn’t hug Edith.

And the other three boys looked delighted when they saw Edith.

If Edith could return, she must have gotten help.

After exchanging greetings with Edith, the girl looked at Matthew.

With a puzzled look, she asked, “Sister, who is this?”

Edith immediately introduced excitedly, “His name is Matthew and he’s a Dragon Knight!”

“Dragon Knight!?”

The four people supporting the barrier immediately cried out in shock.

Their eyes were filled with shock and doubt.

Clearly, they didn’t believe what Edith had said.

Everyone knew that there were no more Dragon Knights on the Vartas Continent.

However, because the mutated beast that Matthew rode was very similar to the divine dragon in the records, the four of them were skeptical.

Otherwise, they would have denied Edith’s claim.

“Yes!”

Edith’s face was full of pride.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the four of them looked at Matthew with a scorching gaze.

The legendary Dragon Knight!

He had appeared in front of them!

And the Dragon Knight was actually willing to help them!

If this matter were to spread, it would be worth them bragging about… Uh, no, they could be proud for their whole life!

“We can finally remove the barrier.”

At the same time, the four of them heaved a sigh of relief.

With the help of a Dragon Knight, wouldn’t it be easy to deal with a demonic beast?

“Is the demonic beast trapped here?”

Just then, Matthew came up behind Edith and asked coldly,

Edith nodded, then began to introduce her companion.

“This is my big sister, Brenda Romeo.”

“That yellow-haired, blue-eyed boy over there is called Mack Harold.”

“The shorter one on the left is called Hild Harold.”

“The boy on the right with blue hair and blue eyes is called Lev Eddie.”

Matthew merely swept his gaze over the four of them, but other than that, he didn’t have much of a reaction.

“Hello, honorable Dragon Knight. Thank you for helping us.”

At this point, Brenda found an opportunity to interject. “May I ask if we can now dispel the barrier?”

Matthew gave her a cold look, then nodded flatly.

Brenda smiled sweetly.

Then, he shouted to the other three, “Release the barrier!”

The four of them withdrew their power at the same time, and the heaven-reaching pillar of light began to converge as the dazzling light also dimmed.

Before long, the huge barrier dissipated.

What came into view was a huge, black lion.

However, looking at the demonic beast, its body was curled up and its breathing was fluctuating as if it was asleep.

This made the five of them feel very puzzled. This mutated beast’s awareness was so poor? It could fall asleep in such an environment?

“Purgatory Demonic Lion!?”

Matthew’s pupils shrank at the sight of the beast, and he became alert.

After all, that young man had also summoned a Purgatory Demonic Lion.

It was normal for Matthew to overreact.

When the five of them heard Matthew’s voice, they couldn’t help but praise in their hearts. ‘As expected of a Dragon Knight. He is indeed experienced and knowledgeable. He recognized this demonic beast at a glance.’

“Matthew.”

Suddenly, an abrupt voice sounded from the void.

The five of them were puzzled and shocked.

Because they had never heard that voice before.

Could it be that someone else had come?

Why didn’t they see him?

Matthew’s reaction was extremely drastic, and he immediately looked around vigilantly.

He was extremely familiar with this voice!

The owner of that voice had destroyed the Dragon God Village that he had lived in for fourteen years!

He did not expect to meet that young man again so soon.

But Matthew did not find the young man even after looking around.

“Hehehe!”

A gentle laugh sounded.

However, when it reached the ears of the six people, it seemed very devilish.

Edith and the others felt their hair stand on end.

Their backs were drenched in cold sweat.

Who on earth could smile so eerily?

CRACK

Not far out, a crack appeared in the void.

A youth dressed in black walked out with a strange smile.

However, there was a difference in his appearance now.

A floating ancient book appeared in his hand.

The black book was covered in eerie patterns, as if it were an unknown book from hell.

“Space magic!?”

When everyone saw such a shocking scene, they immediately retreated in fear, their faces filled with horror.

They were even more shocked than when they heard about the Dragon Knight.

Dragon Knights only existed in legends.

It was still unknown what abilities they had.

But space magic truly existed.

However, only the top mages of the Vartas continent could use it!

In other words, space magic was a symbol of power!

They were facing a terrifying enemy!
