SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Chapter 129: Half-Disciple

Before the stout guy released his spell, Kent's fire Kirin roared angrily and shot a fireball. In this instance, the stout guy blasted tens of meters away from Kent. Sensing the danger, the mob began running away with loud cries.

Even the pets of these disciples ran away without looking back. The Fire Kirin didn't stop after the first attack. With loud roars, it continued to shoot fireballs in random directions.

Kent didn't stop the Fire Kirin from creating havoc. As Lucy opened her eyes, he fully focused on stabilizing her condition.

Just under one moment, the entire taming ground became a running track, and all beasts and disciples were rushing towards the peak master for help.

Till now, Leona, the peak master of the beast abode peak, who stood at the other end of the beast taming ground, continued to stare at the Fire Kirin and Kent with curiosity.

She completely ignored the fact that the Fire Kirin was hurting the disciples at her peak.

"Master… Master… please save us. Master…" All the disciples gathered around Leona, and some hid behind her in fear. Their pleading tone finally brought her to reality.

Shaking her head in irritation, the old lady Leon began moving towards the Fire Kirin, where Kent is helping Lucy rise up from the ground.

With a wand in her hand, she simply extinguished the fire balls released by Fire Kirin. She continued to reduce the distance between her and Fire Kirin at a steady pace.

After reaching close enough, the oldy used the butterfly movement technique and reached the Fire Kirin. She just ran her fingers along the neck of Fire Kirin and placed a finger over in between her eyes.

Just after a few instances, the Fire Kirin lost its aggressiveness and began wiggling its tail. The old lady gently massaged its neck while checking the Fire Kirin body from a close distance.

"Boy, is this your pet?" Peak master Leona questioned Kent, completely ignoring Lucy, who is leaning her body on Kent's left shoulder.

Instead of answering her, Kent called his Fire Kirin, as he wanted to leave the beast abode peak.

The old lady scoffed and flicked her wand. In the next instant, shackles formed over Kent's feet, fixing him to the ground. Instead of showing his frustration, Kent took out his victor and released the Void breaker Arrow.

After three consecutive defensive arrow spells, the shackles vanished. All the disciples of Beastabode Peak were staring at Kent with wide, open eyes. They couldn't believe the fact that Kent is going against the peak master.

"What a tough nut." The old woman muttered and flicked her hand with a powerful spell. In the next instance, root-like threads rose up from the ground and tightened around Kent's body from feet to shoulders.

"Boy, you are still a weak puppy. If you want to defy me, do it when you can defeat me. Understand." The old lady said while controlling Kent's Fire Kirin from going aggressive.

Instead of arguing with her, Kent stood silently while staring at her with a serious gaze. Lucy, who stood with the support of Kent, fell back on her knees.

"Master, let him go. He is new to the sect and doesn't know any rules. Please spare him for this one time." Lucy pleaded in a weak tone while trying to balance herself.

"Hmmhh… don't worry. I'm not going to punish your little friend." The old lady smiled with a mocking look and turned her focus onto Kent. "Tell me, boy, is this your pet?" Leona asked again before taking a step towards Kent.

"Yes," Kent replied while trying to move his hands away from the trap. But the root-like threads tightened their grip on Kent's body.

"Very well, go pack your things and come to the beast abode. I'm accepting you as my personal disciple from this moment on." Leona declared with a proud face as she removed the spell from Kent's body.

"That's not possible." Kent replied while stretching his body, feeling all irritated Leona's forceful binding spell.

A hush fell over the crowd, as no one expected Kent to reject such an offer. For everyone around, this will a God-sent opportunity. Even Lucy felt astonished by Kent's behavior.

"Why? Do you want to rot as a nameless disciple? Boy, put your pride aside and think carefully. I won't offer the same thing twice." Leona spoke in a serious tone, as she felt she was losing her face before her disciples.

"I'm not a nameless disciple." Kent uttered it in a stressed tone while displaying the emerald jade token of the healing sun peak.

"Ohh… So you are Shreya's disciple. That healing sun peak vixen really has a good eye for disciples. Anyway, it's not a problem. I will talk with her; you go and register as my disciple." The old lady dismissed everyone with a hand gesture.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in learning beast taming. I came here for Lucy. Let me take her with me." Kent said while helping Lucy stand up.

Peak Master Leona felt very upset with Kent's behavior. With an angry roar, she sent away all the disciples from the taming grounds. Afraid of her anger, all the disciples hurriedly ran away to their residence, leaving Kent, Lucy, and Leona on the taming ground.

Instead of negotiating with Kent, Leona took out her glass orb and sent a communication request to Peak Master Shreya.

"What is it?" Shreya asked from the other end, without any formalities.

"A guy with Fire Kirin, came to my place. I want to take him as my personal disciple. But he seems to reject my offer. Dismiss him from your peak, I want to see where he goes." Leona said while staring at Kent with a playful smile.

"That's not possible." The reply came swiftly.

"What do you mean? You want to go against me for a mere disciple?" Leona questioned seriously.

"He is not a mere disciple. The patriarch asked me to teach him personally." Peak master Shreya replied, covering the truth with lies.

"Hmmhh… Shreya, he is going to waste his talent by staying at the healing sun peak. At least ask him to join as my half-disciple." Leona asked impatiently while turning the communication orb towards Kent.

Even though Shreya didn't like to send Kent for beast taming, she didn't dare go against the old lady Leona, who holds grudges for small things.

"Kent, even though Peak Master Leona is a little headstrong, she is really good at beast taming. It's okay if you don't want to practice beast-taming. But it's really a good chance for you, and you will definitely benefit from her. So, choose wisely." After saying everything, Peak Master Shreya disconnected the communication.

Leon stood patiently waiting for Kent's decision. She is feeling a bit frustrated, as this is one of the rare moments where she got lower her pride. Kent also fell in love after hearing Shreya's suggestion.

"I have few conditions to join as a half-disciple. If you agree to them, I will join the beast abode peak." Kent paused, waiting for Leona's response.
