The old man stares at Rex as he started to fade slowly. Now almost all of his soul had vanished however just before vanishing he said, " Master, if I were to be born again, I would like you to be my master again..."
*sob sob*
Zormugand kept on crying for a long time.
After then soon he realised that it was futile to cry anymore. So he decided to protect Rex and never cry again.
Zormugand, who now had the appearance of an infant baby dragon, had a dedicated look with 100% concentration.
He was ready to go to any extreme means to fulfill his promise with the old man.
"Ahh..."
Rex slowly opened his eyes and then suddenly closed it due to the blinding sunlight falling directly on his eyes.
"Uhh... when did I fall asleep? What happened!?"
He was confused because he wasn't aware of what had happened and his memory was also fuzzy now due to the use of spell over his capacity.
He sat upright and then looked for the old man. He turned his head left and then right but could find nothing other than a purple-violet coloured baby dragon in front of him.
"Is... is that you Zormugand?"
He already knew the answer because both of them emitted the same Aura and spiritual power however due to human tendencies he asked despite knowing it.
"Yes master, it's me , your Zormugand."
"Then what are you doing there? Come over here!"
Zormugand's joys knew no bound. He flew with all his might and came near Rex when suddenly Rex hugged him.
"I'm glad that you are back."
"Haha, I had never left your side Zor."
Rex used to call Zormugand as Zor as that was what he had been doing since past years.
"By the way Zor, Where is that old man? Again ran away to do something weird?"
"Should I tell Master the truth that he died while saving me? Will master hate me after that?" Is what Zormugand thought.
"..."
"Zor, are you hiding something from me?"
"Huh? What? No, nothing master why will I hide?"
Zormugand turns his looks towards the right as he says this.
"Haha, I knew it. He is lying to me. This Brat after being alone for so many years still lies?", Rex thought.
"You think you can fool me? Tell me the truth Zor, I'm worried for some reason I'm unable to feel the spiritual energy. It's as if he has gone far away."
"..."
Zormugand has no other choice other than saying the truth.
"Master..."
"Yes..?"
"He passed away."
"Huh!? What do you mean..? Zor?"
Zor's Head was lowered and he was continuously looking at his master's feet.
Rex wanted to believe that this was a lie but Zor never turned his head to the right. Also, Zor isn't the type to make jokes on life and death.
All the burdens and anger that had accumulated within Rex due to constant bullying and humiliation burst right now.
"Aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!"
Rex was covered in a Red Aura. The shock wave produced was enough to blow away an entire tree and hence Zormugand was also blown away to quite a bit distance due to his small size.
