Chapter 60: chapter 60 - Word Magic
"... No, I feel that bird looking at me in a weird-looking way"
Kaela nods, agreeing with Arman.
"Hahaha, it\'s because Nāgāntaka quite like Dragon in a weird way too"
Taufik laughed when he heard Arman say, remember Nāgāntaka title "dragon eater" That has an effect When faced with any kind of dragon, Nāgāntaka power will increase by 100%, it\'s quite normal if Arman and Kaela who was Dragon felt that way.
"... In a weird way? Like what?"
Kaela asks, quite interested in this conversation.
"... Like a food"
"WHAATT!!!" x2
Arman and Kaela, shout at the same time.
"I-it\'s that \'Nāgāntaka\' has eaten a-a d-dragon before, brother?"
Arman said quite afraid, he knew the Bird he saw before was strong, stronger than him.
"Fortunately, No...
Arman felt relief when Taufik said that, but Taufik still did not finish what he wanted to say.
... I don\'t know"
"!!!"
"I Really don\'t know, I got Nāgāntaka when he was already that big, I know how I get it, but I don\'t how was he before I got him, so... I don\'t know"
Taufik Said while shrugging his shoulder.
"... H-he will n-not eat u-us, right?"
Arman asked, faltering.
Heard that Taufik grinning.
"You want to try? I quite curious too"
Arman shakes his head in apace.
"No, no, no thank you"
But Taufik ignored Arman, then called Nāgāntaka once again.
"Nāgāntaka, come out!!!"
"!!!"x2
"Brother, what do you want to do?"
Arman asked in panic, not only him but Keale too was slightly panicked and came to hide behind Taufik\'s back.
"Kyiaaackk" ( a chirp)
Nāgāntaka comes out from Taufik\'s chest once again.
"!!!" x2
When Taufik saw Nāgāntaka already fully appeared, he then used his Imagination Magic on Nāgāntaka.
After Taufik had read many books, he found a new way to use his imagination magic besides creating something.
It was something that was quite very powerful too, But Taufik still Couldn\'t use it freely.
But he still can use it to do what he wants to do right now.
"Nāgāntaka \'Talk\'!"
Taufik adds magic to his voice, or more precisely to his "words", he names this technique "Word Magic".
"Kyaack-es master?... Huh?"
Nāgāntaka looked around, confused about where the sound was coming from.
Taufik ignored how Nāgāntaka looked confused and continued to ask Nāgāntaka.
"Nāgāntaka, you understand what I said, right?"
"Yes Master, huh?"
Nāgāntaka looks confused again with what he has done right now.
But once again Taufik ignored Nāgāntaka who looked confused, then pointed at Arman and Kaela.
"What did you feel when you looked at them?"
Nāgāntaka look at Arman and Kaela.
"... I felt something, but why I can talk in your language master?"
Taufik nods his head, ignores Nāgāntaka questions again, and then looks at Arman.
"Arman, try to change to your Dragon form!"
"Ehhh...B-but B-brother..."
Arman hesitated a little when Taufik ordered him to change to his Dragon form, Glances at Nāgāntaka from time to time.
"Don\'t worry, he will not eat you... Maybe"
"... B-brother"
"Hahaha, don\'t worry, I\'m just kidding, I will never let him eat you, trust me!"
Although Taufik has said that, Arman still hesitated a little, but he still chose to trust what Taufik said.
"I will trust you, brother"
Arman then turns to his dragon form.
Nāgāntaka who Saw Arman\'s dragon form, suddenly changed the way he looked at Arman, but he still didn\'t do anything and only looked at Arman.
Arman flinched a little when he looked at how Nāgāntaka looked at him.
"Have you met something like him before?"
Taufik ask Nāgāntaka.
"... No master, I never seen something... Like him before, but I felt stronger somehow"
Nāgāntaka shakes his bird head.
Taufik nods his head.
"So do you feel like you want to... Eat them or something?"
There was silence for a while, Nāgāntaka looked at Arman from up and down, then said what he felt.
"... I indeed felt that I want to...attack them?... but I don\'t from where that feeling was"
"Hmm, I see"
Taufik then closed his eyes and made a thinking pose.
And there was silence for a while again, neither Arman who had turned to his Humanoid form nor Kaela dared to say something.
Taufik then opened his eyes and looked at Nāgāntaka.
"Nāgāntaka, do you have a memory from before you met me?"
"... No master, I don\'t, the only thing that I remember is an order in my mind that said \'if I was summoned someday, I have to follow him for the rest of my life" Besides that, the only memory I have is when I meet you until now, only that"
Taufik nods his head.
"I see, thank you"
"My Pleasure master"
Taufik thinks about what Nāgāntaka said for a while, but he can\'t find any answers to it, so he decides to forget about it for now and think about it later.
Taufik then look at Nāgāntaka.
"Nāgāntaka, can the two of them ride on your back too?"
Nāgāntaka nods his bird head.
"It\'s okay, master"
But Arman who heard that seems didn\'t agree.
"Ehh why, brother? It\'s fine with this Flying carpet, we don\'t have to bother... Him"
Arman said, afraid to ride on Nāgāntaka back.
"Yeah, we just can use this flying carpet Fik, don\'t have to bother Mr.Bird"
Kaela said, agreeing with Arman.
"But this Flying carpet is not fast as Nāgāntaka, if we use this flying carpet it will take us a few days or maybe a week to arrive in Snow Continent it\'s so damn long, but if it was Nāgāntaka it will shorten the time"
"B-but... "
"Don\'t worry he will not do anything to you...
Taufik look at Nāgāntaka.
...right Nāgāntaka?"
"If it was your order master, I would not do anything"
Nāgāntaka said, bowed his head a little.
"See? It\'s gonna be okay"
Taufik then rode on Nāgāntaka back, then called the two of them.
"C\'mon!"
Arman and Kaela look at each other, feeling hesitant, but Kaela takes the first step, braces her up then climbs to Nāgāntaka back, only Arman remains on the flying carpet.
"C\'mon Arman, climb up!"
Arman who sees Kaela already on Nāgāntaka\'s back, musters up his Courage, grith his teeth, and then joins them on Nāgāntaka\'s back.
Taufik then put the flying carpet on his inventory, then ordered Nāgāntaka to Fly as fast as he could, but he didn\'t forget to put a barrier in front of them to dispel the wind.
"Alright, Nāgāntaka go as fast as you can!"
"As your order, master"
-------
Twelve hours later.
After Twelve hours of flying with Nāgāntaka, Taufik finally can see the edge of the snow Continent.
Like the name "Snow Continent" It\'s a Continent that is always covered In snow and the home of the Blue Dragon.
Actually, the way to go to this Continent was very Dangerous, but because of Nāgāntaka who flew so fast, They were unaware of that danger.
"Brother look! That the Continent, woahhh, it\'s really covered in snow... Amazing"
This was the first time in Arman\'s whole life that he saw snow.
"It\'s a snow Continent, of course, is covered in snow, what do you expect? A volcano?"
Taufik said, Though what Arman said was stupid, but he too thought it was amazing.
Taufik then remembered something, He then made the same device that he had made inside Khan Cave before, but this time instead of cold this device would produce heat.
He made two and gave it to Arman and Kaela.
"Take this, flow your Mana on it first, and then put it on your neck!"
Kaele and Arman received that device.
"Wow, it\'s the same box that produces a cold, but do we really need this brother?"
Arman asks, looking around, he can feel it even if they haven\'t arrived yet, but he still can feel the cold from here.
"Yeah just put it, it\'s different from before, this one will produce heat instead of cold"
Kaela then put it on her neck first, then she really felt the heat.
"Woah, it\'s indeed work, your really amazing, fik"
Seeing the two of them already use the device, Taufik orders Nāgāntaka.
"Okay, Nāgāntaka, go to that Continent at full speed, and we will begin our expedition!!!"

A/N- (I forgot to mention this before and only now that I remembered about it after I reread my work.
it\'s about why Taufik never asked the Dragon about the war that happened on Earth before because it seems their memories About that war are clear not like what the human has.
it\'s not like he never asks it, I only don\'t write it.
I was Supposed to put this note in Chapter 43 "Stupid Dagraha" but because I was in a hurry at that time, I forgot to put this note in there, so I will just put this note here.
Back to the topic, Taufik has asked about the war before, but Dagraha not only Dagraha but other dragons too, Even the other races who participated in that war (except humans) can\'t answer that question, why?
It\'s because of the pact that they made with The powerful being, for some "reason" Dragon and the other races have to Make that pact.
And if they ever told someone about the war, something bad would happen to them, or worse to their entire races.
So it\'s like that, so it\'s not Taufik never ask about, that, but I just don\'t write that. "Sorry" )
