Infinite Dragon Beast: Taming Ice Dragons with SSS Ranked Talent-Chapter 86: The Third Beast Taming Contract
"Becoming one of my beasts? Wait! What exactly happened to you?" asked Aiden, shocked.
The man still held the golden fire spear in his hand, wary that the fire dragon girl before him looked suspicious.
Rachel was able to walk again. She stepped side by side with Aurora to the fire dragon girl.
Aiden turned his attention to Rachel, curious about what the black-haired girl had done. Surely, the fire dragon girl’s change of attitude was tightly related to Rachel.
’Is it possible that she told this girl about my identity?’ Aiden asked.
"Being the tamer of the envoy master is something I’ve dreamed of for a long time. My father, the Fire Dragon Clan King, always told me many things about the envoy master," explained the girl, her grumpy demeanor somehow disappearing.
’Envoy Master?’ asked Aiden, pretty much proving that Rachel had been talking to the fire dragon girl.
The man squinted his sharp eyes at Rachel. Frightened, Rachel immediately hid behind Aurora’s back.
"One of the characteristics of an Envoy Master is the ability to conquer beasts with his eyes alone!" said the fire dragon girl.
"I’m not the Envoy Master you’re referring to. You should know that," Aiden explained, putting away his golden fire spear.
"If Aiden doesn’t want you, you can have me as—"
"I’m not interested in you!" snapped the fire dragon girl, interrupting Fiona’s words to shock her.
"There’s no need to scold her. I wasn’t planning on making a beast taming contract with you, that’s all!" asserted Aiden, flatly rejecting the fire dragon girl’s wishes.
The girl looked downcast, her hands clasped behind her back as she pleaded with Aiden. Aiden chose to turn his face and eyes away, looking at Aurora and Rachel intently.
Aurora gasped, not knowing what to do, and neither did Rachel. However, Aurora took a brave step forward, speaking directly to Aiden.
"Listen, Aiden. If you make her your beast, you might be able to find out more about the fragment beast essence," Aurora explained.
"S-Sis Aurora’s right. Amber might be able to help you," Rachel said.
Amber nodded, agreeing with Aurora and Rachel’s explanation. According to her, only the Fire Dragon clan knew the whereabouts of the fragment beast essence of the Chronos Fire Dragon, that was because the Chronos Fire Dragon was their ancestor.
"They’re right! I can help you find those fragments," Amber explained.
Aiden let out a long breath. He wasn’t at all harmed by having a new beast added to him, let alone a beast of the dragon race again.
Still, if Amber joined Aiden, someday his identity would be revealed to the public.
The man turned sideways, looking at Fiona sternly and seriously. Aurora and Rachel might be able to make Aiden intimidated into not leaking his true identity. However, it was different with Fiona.
Fiona was an outsider to Aiden. They came together by chance because they were both beast tamers. However, that did not make Aiden fully trust her.
"To hide my identity, I must kill those who already know it!" Aiden said.
[Magic Element: Fire Arrows]
From Aiden’s right palm, he brought forth five golden fire arrows that were a fusion of two different elements. Not only Aiden, but Amber, Aurora, and Rachel were also looking at Fiona seriously.
Amber had a fireball in her hand, as did Aurora with an ice thorn and Rachel with a ball of darkness.
Fiona was taken aback by the shock, her eyes wide and her face pale. She realized what Aiden had just said.
"W-Wait! You want to kill me? But aren’t we friends?!" asked Fiona, slowly walking backwards away from them.
"I promise! I won’t tell anyone about your identity. Your secret is safe with me, Aiden," Fiona explained, looking terrified.
Aiden continued to stare at Fiona endlessly, still letting his fire arrow fly. In the end, Aiden aborted his intention to kill Fiona. He removed the fire arrow and made Fiona promise.
"Since the fire dragon girl already knows about my identity, it’s useless for me to keep hiding it," Aiden explained.
"You must promise not to say anything about me to anyone!" Aiden threatened.
"If I hear any rumors about my identity from anyone else, then my three dragons will find you and kill you!" said Aiden.
"I-I promise! I won’t tell anyone about this," Fiona declared, raising a sworn hand.
That’s enough! At least Aurora, Amber, and Rachel heard her swear. They would be witnesses if Aiden killed Fiona for her negligence in leaking his identity.
Aiden turned his attention forward, exchanging glances with Amber. The red-haired girl made it clear that she was ready for the contract, but Aiden was not.
"To perform the beast taming contract, I need at least one final requirement that I don’t currently have," Aiden explained.
"The Infernum Heart Gem!"
Fiona gasped. She knew what the Infernum Heart gem was. It was the highest level gem of the fire element, extremely rare in its kind.
Usually, the beast taming system would decide on a specific gem for the contract’s needs based on the level of the beast to be tamed.
If the beast has a level below S, then medium to high level gems can be used. However, it is different for beasts with levels S to SSS. They require the highest level of gems to perform the contract.
According to Fiona, it was natural for Aiden to need the Infernum Heart Gem because his needs were high, Amber’s beast level was not an ordinary level, especially since she came from the pure fire dragon clan.
"About that," Amber said, patting her magic pouch and bringing out her Infernum Heart Gem, "I have it."
"HAHA!"
"At this point, you can’t refuse that beast taming contract, Aiden," Aurora joked, to which Aiden responded with a slow sigh.
’Amber’s level is SSS. It’s not easy to do a beast taming contract, let alone synchronize two magics,’ Aiden explained.
’However, what she said might be true. The only fastest way to find the fragment might be to make her my tamer,’ Aiden said.
In the end, Aiden decided to perform beast taming on Amber immediately. Amber smiled, she would help Aiden in the process.
"You guys stay outside, the energy blast from the beast taming contract can attract monsters," Aiden said.
Fiona, Aurora, and Rachel nodded. They walked together to the surface while closing the pivot cabinet door, standing there on full alert.
Aiden’s eyes were firmly closed, trying to activate one of his main skills in the Eye’s of Beast King talent, Beast Tamer.

[Initiate beast contract]
A notification panel appeared before Aiden. Aiden opened his eyes and let Amber be affected by the power of his eyes.
Once both parties were ready, another panel appeared explaining the items needed to initiate the beast taming contract.
Magic runes were created beneath their feet, glowing bright red in color and continuing to spin clockwise. Aiden bit the tip of his finger, dripping his blood onto the magic rune. Amber did the same.
[Beast Taming Contract Confirmation]
[Warning!]
[The contract between the witch and the beast requires three important materials:]
[1. Beast Blood]
[2. Mage’s Blood]
[3. Infernum Heart Gem (1/1)]
Three items floated above the magic runes, such as Aiden’s blood, Amber’s blood, and the Infernum Heart Gem.
The two bloods mixed together and fused with the red magic rune, while the gem began to emit powerful fire energy toward Aiden and Amber.
Aiden raised two fingers of his hand, beginning to focus his mind and magic energy, "Beast Taming Contract begins!"
