The reason Kylo was desperate to make a 'deal' with Nigel was because of his ancestry.
A descendant of hachi ryuu-ou. A dragon king!
What are Dragons?
Dragons, they are legendary creatures!
Indeed Dragons are high and mighty, arrogant and selfish creatures. They are a race whom most other races hate in this world.
But they are strong! In fact they are one of the 'blessed ones by the universe'. There are very few races who can be called as 'Blessed by the universe'. Devils are naturally one of them.
But dragons are more feared and sought after! Why? Because of their rarity!
The reason is because of their low fertility rate. In fact that is the case with most of the powerful races and Devils are the only exception.
(Author Note:- I keep saying devil this, devil that because these concepts will be useful in the future.)
That is why the race, The Devils themselves are said to be going against the heavens!
Elves are said to be close to nature. But they are never said as 'Blessed by the Universe' but are mentioned as 'Blessed by the World Tree'.
'World' and 'Universe'. Nothing to say anymore.
In fact the Dragons are very similar to the Devils. The only difference is that
[They hardly move in groups...] Kylo thought.
By now the {Dual Soul Contract} was done.
Nigel was sitting quietly after completing the contract while Kylo was recalling the legend of dragons.
Indeed there was never a empire of devils. But there were kingdoms of devils where the Devil Kings ruled over few thousand devils.
It is not like dragons do not move in group. Dragons also move in groups. But the concept of group differs.
Maybe a group of 2 or maybe 3. But at the most it is a group of 4. Never ever someone saw a group of 5 dragons moving together.
And even a group of 4 dragon will have children mix in it. After all even if dragons are selfish and arrogant, they still care for their children.
And why was Kylo recalling legend of dragons?
Because...
[Vasuki was a dragon!] A snake evolving into a dragon!! There are only 8 such snake races and Vasuki is one of them.
That is why they are known as hachi ryuu-ou.
Snakes evolving into Dragons are very rare cases! In fact it is almost impossible.
Yeah, it is almost impossible and not completely impossible.
[8 such races proved them after all!] Kylo was thinking in admiration.
[Although many said he was not a real dragon] Kylo looked at Nigel in deep thought.
He himself was not clear about his ancestry. He also has never seen a dragon in his previous life. He just had, what one would say, superficial knowledge.
And he also remembered the legend he heard in his previous world.
[The fall of Nagaduniya]
There were dragons in Nagaduniya, the world where Nigel resided previously, even after the 8 origin ancestors disappeared one day.
But even those dragons were killed and the laws of the world changed.
No, the laws of the world were forced to change! The world itself started rejecting dragons.
[And there are no snakes that evolved into dragons since then.] Kylo thought sadly.
Actually the Dragons and the Devils have a love-hate relationship.
They love as well as hate each other. Since they both are very similar to each other, there is no way they would not have any special emotions towards each other.
But the dragons in Nagaduniya were killed mostly because of greed.
[There were tens of races involved. And devils were one of them.]
But Devils were the only race to get involved in the war just to show their superiority and not because of greed towards the dragon's body. Since they know how it feels to get hunted.
Why greed?
Dragon, alive or dead, are treasures.
If alive tame them.
If dead skin them.
And even if there were no dragons in Nagaduniya
[He, the one who escaped to other world, and the one who also thirsts for power.
Maybe...]
Kylo chuckled and shook his head.
Even though Kylo thought of so many things only few minutes passed by.
"So now how should we proceed?" asked Nigel.
Kylo thought for a moment before using {Soul Sense} through the entire cave.
Somethings could not be seen even when he used his {Soul Sense}, it was like something was blocking his soul. He was a little worried but since nothing could be done he just let go of that worry and concentrated on the other places.
After checking out everything he looked towards Nigel once again and said.
"Lets wake her up first." Kylo pointed his chin towards the fainted Avery.
After a moment of silence the red snake just nodded and said "Do not say anything."
Kylo nodded his head. By 'it' Nigel meant, not to say her the truth.
Kylo just nodded his head. There was no reason for him to mention anything to her when Nigel was already with him.
Seeing there was no other 'emotion' from Kylo's soul Nigel started moving towards Avery.
"You cannot transform into human form right?"
"Indeed I cannot." The snake replied with a stoic expression.
Kylo said nothing else after this. He asked this same thing once again, even after knowing it was just to 'see' through Nigel's thoughts.
To check what he said was truth.
***
"unnn.... what happened?" a black haired lady asked with sleepy eyes.
She put her right hand on her neck before groaning in pain. "Ughh.. it hurts a little"
[The force was more than expected.. maybe because of primordial energy....]
A black haired young man, meanwhile, was accusing the primordial energy wrongfully.
The lady could see a two meter long red snake talking to her "Nothing happened you fell asleep all of a sudden."
Naturally they were Avery, Kylo and Nigel.
Avery frowned a little and asked "Then why is my neck paining. I felt like someone hit my neck hard. No I am sure someone hit me so do not change the topic."
Avery was glaring at Nigel suspiciously.
Nigel was becoming more and more nervous.
A high and mighty descendant of hachi ryuu-ou was getting nervous in front of a little girl.
[Is this also a side effect of {Dao Oath}]
Kylo was thinking nonsense when he squatted on the ground beside Avery.
Avery was still sitting on the ground. Kylo lovingly caressed her neck while asking "Is it paining now as well?"
Naturally Kylo used Primordial energy.
This time it was Avery who was feeling nervous. Even though she felt her neck pain slowly decreasing, she felt goosebumps because of Kylo's gentleness.
With a red face she stuttered "I-it is fine now."
[This feeling is not bad] Avery was thinking. No she was daydreaming. Of course applying Primordial energy for treatment will give a soothing feeling. Even Nigel felt that.
Nigel looked in amazement how Kylo settled the issue within a minute, while Kylo was grinning towards Nigel.
And Nigel just had one thought seeing the grin....
[Why do I feel like I have lost...?]
