Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2215

"Wait a second. What about me?" Elina asked.

"What about you?" Salaark replied with a snort.

"I kind of feel left out." Everyone but her and Senton were still fully human.

"I guess you don't want to be the Senton of the situation." Rena's husband sighed deeply.

"Oh, no sweetie, that's not what I meant."

"Please, covering it up just makes it worse. There's no need to worry about me. I've long since gotten used to being constantly in the middle of a storm I don't even understand and against which I'm more helpless than my baby girl."

Yet his voice and words didn't match as he kept sighing like a bellows. The idea that Leria's magic could already wipe the floor with him and that her steed could eat him in one gulp were both huge blows to his father's pride.

The bright-colored feathers that now decorated her skin were just the fire on the literal Phoenix.

"You are a Red Dragon, child, and I'm no Dragon." Salaark shrugged.

"Thanks anyway." Elina sighed.

"That's not what I meant. I'm far from the Senton of the situation." The Guardian replied.

"Hey, I resent that!" Rena and Senton said in unison.

"Come on, Shargein. Be a dear and say Dad. Say Dad." Salaark ignored them and focused her eyes on the adorable muzzle of the wyrmling.

"Da." Of course, a one-day old creature couldn't talk yet a single syllable was more than enough to summon an overprotective father.

"You heard him! He said Dad! That was his first word!" Leegaain appeared out of thin air, snatching the child from Salaark's arms and replying to his cooing in Dragontongue.

"Sure, that was definitely a word and not an attempt to mimic my voice." The Overlord said with a sneer. "Your daughter here feels left out."

Leegaain looked at Salaark as if she was mad until he followed her finger pointing at Elina. Then, since he still looked baffled, the Overlord forced him to take his eyes off Shargein and look at the rest of the room.

"I see." Leegaain had to cover his hand in scales and touch Elina's face to find and trigger her dormant bloodline with his breathing technique, Worldkeeper.

Several red and yellow-veined orange scales appeared over one-third of her skin, making her gasp in surprise.

"I thought I was a Red Dragon or something." She pointed at the orange scales.

"You are." Leegaain nodded. "The red ones are yours while the rest belongs to your baby girl."

The room exploded into cheers and applauses before the Father of all Dragons could finish congratulating Elina.

"Oh gods, another girl!" Raaz said. Leegaain confirming Salaark's prediction left no room for error.

"What do you mean, another?" His wife snarled at him. "Aside from Lith, our sons were a handful and we have three of them. We had only two daughters and they are all wonderful. This is just evening the score."

"I don't want to be the Trion of the situation!" Aran pouted, considering himself a paragon of virtue just a step below his favorite brother.

"Don't you dare repeat those words ever again, young man! Trion went through a lot and it's a miracle having him with us again." Raaz said before turning toward Elina. "You know what, thank the gods it's another girl."
