"Now. Do you want to be my pet?"

..

..

'I can't understand what you're fucking saying!' The blue dragon roared angrily in its mind as it heard the words of the strongest ape it had ever encountered in its relatively long life.

It almost teared up but the dragon resisted it as something as pathetic as crying wasn't in the vocabulary of the great race of dragons like himself.

Andrew can feel what the dragon was feeling and from that, he can picture and make up the things that should be running its mind. Feeling all that, he began calming down the nerves of the big dragon with just a simple use of [Empathy].

Slowly. The dragon began to take breaths in and out and it started to calm down while the dragon didn't find it strange and just continued looking at the strong ape in front of it.

After that. Andrew also just looked while a huge amount of psychic energy came out of him and then entered the mind of the dragon. A few moments later. Andrew smiled and then spoke "Can you understand me now?"

On the other hand. The dragon had its eyes widened as it couldn't help but reply back unconsciously "What the..?"

It was about to speak again when Andrew bested him at it. "Yes. I speak drakonik."

The blue-scaled dragon was stumped at that while anger began bubbling in its being once again as it roared out in frustration "You fucker, why didn't you just say that immediately?!"

Andrew looked at it for a while and then replied back "Never mind that. What I mean to say since before is I want you to be my pet. Do you agree?"

"What?" The asked with a blank face while thinki if it really heard the words correctly. "Can you repeat what you just said?"

"I want to have you as a pe–"

Swoosh!

Andrew didn't managed to complete his words as he made himself intangible while a big ass fireball passed through his body. "Hey, what's the big idea!"

"You fucker! I'm a dragon! A great race of mighty beings that rules this very world and you want me? To be your fucking pet? Go to hell!" The blue-scaled dragon roared out in anger and rage as if it cannot believe the words that came out of the mouth of the dressed-up ape.

Andrew frowned at that and was stumped in his thoughts on what to do with this prideful dragon. Though he wants the dragon to become his pet really bad, he still doesn't want to resort using Telepathy and control its mind since having a pet that is just mind-controlled isn't something he likes.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

A few more fireballs passed through his body and Andrew couldn't help but notice that the fireballs were getting smaller and lose its fiery Intensity. At the same time, the dragon breathed the last fireball it can conjure as its wounded head slumped down heavily to the ground as it panted and roared weakly.

Thud!

Andrew just continued looking at it and then finally uttered a word after what seemed to be hours for the weakened dragon "So what do you want?"

The Dragon opened one of its eyes as its reptilian eye peered at the black-haired money "What do I want? Of course I don't want to be a pet. You can just kill me if you want to do that. Though I still doesn't want to die so I can propose something more.. dignifying.."

Andrew nudged his head signaling for him to continue as the dragon then continued. "I don't know who you are and where in the infinite hells did you come from but seeing that you have the strength to best even me, who is considered to be one of the strongest dragons in existence, and you also seemed determined to have me as your pet, then I can compromise and become your companion.."

"Companion?" Andrew asked for a moment but then an idea blitzed through his mind as he then replied in a very serious manner "No, I don't go that way. I'm very much straight, thank you."

"..."

Swoosh~

The blue-scaled dragon was speechless hearing him as it mustered every energy that it has left and spewed out a rather weak fireball at the meta-hero who just once again dodged it using intangibility.

"That's not what meant you fucking less-hairy ape!" The dragon roared out again as its head once again slumped to the ground as it breathed heavily. It continued breathing to catch and gather up some energy as it then spoke.

"What I meant was I become a companion of yours. A loyal and fierce companion that would accompany you in your toughest journeys and fight alongside you till the very ends of the infinite hells. Basically, I become something like a sworn brother to you. Its not as much humiliating as your wicked suggestion."

Andrew had a thoughtful look on his face as he brought his fingers to his chin and rubbed it as if he had any beard to pretend like a sagely elder.

On the other hand. The dragon tactfully didn't made a sound and secretly gulped nervously as he eyed the dressed-up ape in front of him. The reason for his nervousness was that his senses as a dragon was screaming at him that if the ape didn't accept his proposal, then it would definitely kill him and he definitely cannot do anything about it.

Yes, he was injured when this ape attacked him but his senses was telling that even if he's in his peak shape when he fought this ape, he still wouldn't win. Not a chance.

He can even see that throughout their fight, the ape was just playing around with him and was definitely holding back a lot of strength just to not kill him since it actually wanted him as its pet.

All this thought wasn't hidden from our dear old villainous mc as Andrew continued thinking about the proposal. A few seconds later. He brought down his hand and removed the sagely-thinking aura around him as he finally spoke under the secretly nervous eyes of the dragon.

"Well, I can't see anything wrong with your proposal and I'm ready to accept it. But I still have a question, which is, how can I know that I will have your loyalty and that you will not betray me eventually."

The dragon breathed a sigh of relief at hearing the first part of the statement but then look on a serious and determined look in its face after hearing the latter part. It then quickly replied back with a serious tone. "Then we can just link our souls to each other. What basically would happen was my life would be tied to you but your life wouldn't be tied to me. If I die, I die alone. But if you die, I also die."

Andrew had an interested look on his face as he couldn't help think that that wasn't so bad.

Clap!

He then clapped his hand as he finally replied back "That's a good idea! So how do we do this soul linking huh?"

The dragon grumbled under its breath after hearing the former part of the sentence but cooperated as he replied weakly. "We just need to mix both our blood and then we drink it. That's all."

"Hmm, that's so simple. Let's do this." Andrew nodded while bowl appeared floating in front of him. Under the startled gaze of the dragon, he willed it as the bowl began enlarging and then it settled to be as big as the fist of the dragon which was 10 feet in diameter.

Thud!

He then made it land to the ground as he stepped beside it. He then extended his hand and placed it on the bowl under the watchful eyes of the dragon.

Andrew willed it as a huge gash appeared on his palms while a huge stream of blood began pouring out of the gaping wound. The blood is still crimson red but it has a sheen of gold color on it courtesy of Andrew messing around with it.

"..."

"..."

A few moments later, the downpour of Andrew's blood was still ongoing with him tapping the toe part of his shoe in a rhythmic manner on the ground casually.

Tap.. Tap... Tap..

"..."

"How the hell do you have so much blood in that little body?" The dragon finally couldn't bear it as it asked in puzzlement and amazement.

"I'm quasi-immortal." Andrew casually replied.

"What do you mean quasi-immortal?" The dragon asked in the middle of its heavy breaths.

"I'm immortal, in a sense that I will not die because of old age because my cells are constantly in a state of rapid duplication that it outrans the speed of the dying cells by a thousand times." Andrew replied as he finally stopped the gushing of his blood after he saw the bowl had already been filled halfway through.

"How is that possible?" The dragon asked incredulously.

"You will know after you do your job." Andrew simply said as he made the bowl float and land in front of the dragon.

The dragon clicked its tongue as it then shakily lifted its clawed hand and brought it to the mouth of the bowl.

Drip..

Drip..

Drip..

A few milliliters of blood fell from its hand and dripped to the bowl and then the dragon breathed out and its hand fell to the side as it looked at the frowning Andrew.

"... What?" The dragon asked seeing the look on Andrew's face.

"That's too little." Andrew replied

"Who said that you need to give as much blood as you did." The dragon quipped.

Andrew curled his lips with a realizing look as he quipped back "Hm. Fair enough. Now what to do? Do we need to just drink it directly or what?"

"Drink it directly of course. And also, you can just a drink an amount that would be the size of your fist, that'd would be enough since our blood are already mixed up and we don't need to drink as much as this... much.." The dragon replied back.

Andrew put out a hand and a cup of similar material as the bowl appeared in his hand. He then willed it as small amount of blood floated up from the bowl and then poured inside his cup.

'How many abilities does this ape has?" The dragon rumbled in its mind. It then spoke "Can you help me pour down a sufficient enough to my mouth? I can't move anymore? And I don't think i will be able to till tomorrow."

Andrew nodded as he made a 25 liters amount of blood float and go inside the open mouth of the ready of the dragon.

At the same time. He also opened his mouth and downed the mixed blood of him and the dragon without a change in his expression. Immediately after that. He felt something connecting to his very being as he nodded and then looked to the dragon who had its eyes widened while muttering as it looked at its body. "What in infinite hell?"
