Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord - Chapter 157

157 Do They Really Believe I Will Fight With Su Wan For Them?

“Lord Aiur, I want to join you,” said the Lord of the Thorn Fairy anxiously.

The Lord seemed to be in a sorry state. Aiur narrowed his eyes and examined the Lord and the Thorn Fairy.

Aiur had long since expected other Lords to beg him to join his group. However, none had done so till now. Seeing this Lord wanting to join him now left him annoyed.

“Join me?” he asked in disdain. “Hmph!”

!!
He glared at the Lord and the Thorn Fairy angrily. “Do you take me for a fool? Now that you can’t stay with the Light-Types, you approach me?”

Aiur was irritated. The Thorn Fairy and her Lord had chosen to follow the Light-Types before. Aiur hadn’t been their first choice. Only now that they couldn’t stay with them, they sought him out.

‘What do they take me for?!’ Aiur wasn’t some kind of trash to be discarded whenever they wanted to!

The Lord of the Thorn Fairy was so anxious that her forehead was covered with sweat. The Lord finally understood. Lord Bevin’s task had seemed very difficult because he would have to give up his gem to gain Su Wan’s task. That was why she had accepted this task. The Lord now realized that gaining Aiur’s trust was even more difficult than gaining Su Wan’s trust.

She raked her mind for a solution. Finally, she had an idea. “Lord Aiur, I intended to follow you from the start! But… as I was about to leave, I realized they were plotting against you. So, I stayed back to gather more information.”

The Thorn Fairy looked at her Lord in surprise. She didn’t expect her Lord to be so quick-witted.

The Thorn Fairy was now intrigued and wanted to see what would happen next.

Aiur, likewise, was interested in this new turn of events. “They are plotting against me? I thought they were busy plotting against Su Wan.”

Aiur recalled the Light-Types being terrified of Su Wan. That was why they had gathered everyone. ‘What does this Lord mean?’

The Lord of the Thorn Fairy thought Aiur would be furious. However, Aiur was more intrigued than angry. There was a trace of anticipation on Aiur’s face.

The Lord of the Thorn Fairy was confused now. She wondered why Aiur was so excited to get ambushed. What she didn’t know was that Aiur had been greatly provoked by the fact that the others thought Su Wan was so strong that they needed to band together to defeat her.

All the others had acknowledged Su Wan’s strength. Even Aiur had been called to join in with them! Aiur was greatly annoyed that they didn’t think he was as strong as Su Wan.

Now, after hearing it from this Lord, Aiur was amused. What Aiur felt was not anger but joy. His strength was finally being recognized!

Aiur was now certain that the Light-Types were no match for him. That was why they were plotting against him.

The Lord of the Thorn Fairy didn’t know what was in Aiur’s mind. She just went with the plan she was deployed to fulfill.

“Lord Aiur, there are only two Overlords right now who are extremely strong,” she said. “One is Su Wan, and the other is you. I heard them. They need to eliminate both you and Su Wan to win this competition.”

The Lord of the Thorn Fairy told him about how she had escaped and was sure that Aiur would allow her to join him. “I wanted to stay with them longer to find out everything but… I was discovered. I am being chased. They were hunting me.”

Aiur thoughtfully nodded. He didn’t think that the Lord was lying to him. He knew how strong he was. It was only natural for other Lords to want to join him.

“What’s their plan?” asked Aiur.

At this moment, the Light-Types, who were eavesdropping on the conversation, became nervous. Everything that had happened so far was beyond their expectations.

“Lord Aiur, the Light-Types intend to make Su Wan and you fight each other until you both are too injured to fight the others…”

When the Light-Types heard this, they were enraged. They had thought of this plan before but because of some changes, this plan was put on hold. They thought that if all else failed, then they would pit Su wan against Aiur.

But the Lord of the Thorn Fairy revealed it! If they really needed Aiur to fight Su Wan, he would be on his guard from now on!

“Just calm down,” said the Rainbow Pegasus to the others. “She is also in a helpless situation. She needs some truth in her lies to gain Aiur’s trust, after all.”

The Rainbow Pegasus defended the Lord of the Thorn Fairy. Everyone thought that this made sense. A lie needed a bit of truth to sound convincing.

Everything went according to their plan. Aiur believed in the Lord of the Thorn Fairy.

“I see your dedication. Since you have risked yourself to bring me this information, you can join me,” said Aiur.

“Hmph!” he said in disdain. “Do they really believe I will fight with Su Wan for them? I won’t fight Su Wan until I wipe out the small fries first!”

Aiur’s words made the Light-Types feel a chill down their spine. Now that Aiur was on his guard, it would be even more difficult to deal with him later.
