Old D summoned a portal while Fate picks up his 'toy' dice. Since Fate carried Faunia at his left shoulder, he can only play his dice with his right hand.
"Hahahaha! Old D! It seems like we are forgetting sothing." Fate hinted in a joking, but obvious manner.
This made Old D halt from entering his portal. He took a deep breath and raised his cane slightly as if he wanted to 'tap' it again into the ground. But before he was able to do so, Fate slid his foot and filled the gap between the cane of Old D and the ground.
"Hahahaha! Old D, Relax!" Fate said, "Hahahaha! It's my first ti in the human realm! Can't you, at least, let interact with them?"
Old D simply sighed and asked, "What are you up to now, young Fate?"
"Just trust Old D!" He said, "Hahahaha! After all... It is our fate to et each other. Don't you agree, human?"
Fate glanced towards a dead tree that was around a hundred ters away from them. Old D also followed his glance. But even after almost a minute, they were not able to detect any movent from that area.
What's even odd was that the wind blew past the withered leaves in the ground but it didn't move even a centiter. However, Fate and Old D didn't need to be very observant just to notice the unusual phenonon.
"Hahahaha! Friends! We an no harm!" Fate shouted, assuming that the humans hidding behind the tree wasn't just able to hear him. "I just wanna have a talk! Hahahaha!"
Hopeless, the three n could only 'cautiously' reveal themselves. A young man around his mid-20s leads two dium-haired guys, of the sa age, with a grayish eye each.
Despite the young man's ssy short hair, there was no trace of sweat on his face. He stared towards Fate and Old D with a frown whilst occasionally glancing towards the unconscious Faunia.
On the other hand, the two guys behind him sweat heavily out of fear. They even often glance at each other as if asking if it was right to go towards the two unknown strangers.
"Hahahaha! Great! Great!" Fate celebrated as the three n get closer to them. "There's no need to be wary young n! I don't eat humans. Hahahaha!"
"W-We are just passing through this area and head towards the rumored Kingdom by the sea!" The young man said as they close, less than fifty ters, from Fate and Old D. At this mont, Old D and Fate felt a sudden increase in their weight as they were being pushed inches deeper into the ground.
"Kingdom by the sea?" Fate asked as he pondered. Then, he rembered that the Naga Kingdom was located near the sea. So, he said, "What a coincidence! We are also on our way back to the Kingdom! Do you want to co with us?"
The young man was astounded by what Fate said, but he didn't let his guard down. That said, the two guys behind him felt a bit of a relief after hearing what Fate had said. But before they could celebrate, Fate said with a smile, "That said, I don't think you guys would accept my offer."
'Why not?' The young man and the other two guys asked in their minds as they frown in confusion. However, before anyone could even speak, Fate pointed to the sky, where a seemingly big bird was flying straight towards them.
Then, he said, "Because... You would be with him."
Everyone couldn't help but focus on the 'big bird' whose figure kept growing each second. Soon, the figure beca clear as they heard its roar.
The three n couldn't help but froze in fear as they watch the dragon inch closer. While Old D could only glance towards Fate and sigh.
"You're like your master! Always making things complicated!" Old D scolded Fate. But Fate simply retained his smile in response as they watch the Legendary creature arrive.
"FAUUUNIAAA!" The Dragon roared as it lands in front of them; crashing the dead trees to the ground.
The Black Dragon, Pedro, didn't dare let this montary chance go as a bluish light illuminated between the gaps of the scales on his neck. But as he was about to open his mouth and breath out a fla, Old D jumped and smashed his cane below Pedro's jaw, making him look upward and release the fla in the air.
"This is the first ti that you'd et your master and this is how you would greet ?" Old scolded that was frightening enough to even make Fate force out a smile. Then, Old D added, "Where are your manners, young man!"
Fate knew that in Pedro's ntal state, he would definitely follow up with another attack. At the sa ti, he knew how strict Old D was, especially in doing his job. Thus, not wanting the master and the inheritor to enter a 'stubborn' fight, he burst into laughter and consequently got everyone's attention.
"Hahahaha! I didn't know that you would be this strict to your potential inheritor, Old D!" Fate said that made Old D stare daggers towards him as if saying 'He's my candidate, I'll do things my way!'. Whilst Pedro was astonished as he glanced back and forth between Fate and Old D.
"I-Inheritor?" Pedro stuttered as he leaned slightly backward. "Perhaps... You are-"
Before Pedro could even finish, Old D angrily struck his cane into the ground and said, "Yes, young man! I am your master! The overseer of the afterlife, Death!"
