This injured condor-like magical beast obviously seemed to be the father of these infants Crowned Violet-Winged Condors but it seemed to hold no hate for him.

He told him that he was the one who killed the female Crowned Violet-Winged Condor but this matter didn't garner much of a reaction from the male condor-like Magical Beast.

Neither did the matter of the Crowned Violet-Winged Condor infants being sold as mounts garnered his hatred. It was as if he accepted this was the best-case scenario he could hope to bargain for and indeed...

Davis garnered that it wouldn't be long before this unknown magical beast succ.u.mbs to his critical injuries. Perhaps a month or within a year, he felt that it wouldn't be more than that.

"What is your species name? The little one that seems different from the other infants looks obvious that it has inherited your complete bloodline. If I know about your species name and rank, perhaps I can sell him for more or can even make it my Magical Beast Mount."

Davis pursed his lips, and widened one of his brows, wanting to know.

"You don't know?" The Magical Beast looked taken aback before it uttered, "Crimson Darkness Condor, Sky Rank Magical Beast Species."

"You're a Seventh Stage Magical Beast?" Davis widened his eyes in astonishment.

The Magical Beast let out no undulations as if it were preserving all its energy to survive and Davis hadn't used his Soul Sense to survey Crimson Darkness Condor's strength, hence he didn't know and became astonished on hearing it.

He looked over to the infant Crowned Violet-Winged Condor, no, the infant Crimson Darkness Condor, and saw that it was still squeaking, calling out for its mother. Its eyes still weren't open, and that went the same for its siblings.

This single beast would perhaps fetch him plenty of High-Level Spirit Stones!

And perhaps, this small beast might even grow and pursue him in the future to get revenge for its mother but that didn't seem likely since its past would remain unknown to it after being taken away from here. After all, even its father would die soon, not able to tell it about its past.

The critically injured Crimson Darkness Condor nodded its head, "A few years ago, I was defeated at the life and death battle held for the status of clan leader but I ran away by sacrificing most of my Blood Essence."

"Injured and hopeless, I was pursued by many low-stage magical beasts who found me to be incredibly tempting but after I completely wasted my strength after killing thousands of magical beast, I was found by their mother, the Crowned Violet-Winged Condor. She saved me but coveted my bloodline and hence, mated with me even when I am in this state..."

Without even an ounce of embarra.s.sment, he continued to speak.

"Perhaps I was feeling that I was at the end of my life, my urge to give birth to an heir became unbearable... Hence, I didn't resist."

The Crimson Darkness Condor glanced at the infant which looked similar to it and uttered, "It's a miracle..."

"I didn't think she would really give birth to a worthy heir..."

Davis couldn't help but nod his head, ignoring the part about mating while being bloodied. He was sure that it would've been uh... wild...

The Crowned Violet-Winged Condor is an Earth Rank Magical Beast Species while the Crimson Darkness Condor is a Sky Rank Magical Beast Species. There was a single rank difference between their species, hence, even if they mated, the chances to give birth to a single Sky Rank Magical Beast Infant was very less.

It was especially so when the male Magical Beast had less vitality due to the loss of Blood Essence.

It wasn't any less of a miracle!

Perhaps in the future, the infant Crimson Darkness Condor not even find its roots and challenge the clan for the leader status but such a fairytale wouldn't happen unless Davis mentioned its past to its owner when he sells it in the future.

Nonetheless, Davis finally knew why the Crimson Darkness Condor failed to consider or accept the Crowned Violet-Winged Condor as its mate.

"You hate her because she took advantage of you and didn't bother to help you recover?"

The Crimson Darkness Condor just gave off a faint chuckle and didn't respond.

Davis felt it was very likely that it was abused and further weakened by the female Crowned Violet-Winged Condor. It made sense when he felt the arrogant tone of the late Crowned Violet-Winged Condor.

Just because she had a Sky Rank Magical Beast Species under her talons, she likely had her ego pushed beyond the limit of what an Earth Rank Magical Beast Species should have...

A few moments pa.s.sed in silence as each reflected their thoughts and Davis abruptly felt vitality disappear in the corner of the cave where the Crimson Darkness Condor laid.

"..."

Davis became flabbergasted as he couldn't help but speak.

"He killed himself..."

Evelynn who stood a little far away all the time felt disbelief at the scene. She then suddenly sensed that a magical beast was approaching them from behind with her physical sense.

In a few seconds, a Sunset Mountain Wolf appeared near the cave opening and appeared in their view.

This magical beast was none other than the female wolf leader. Her seven-meter tall body transformed into a human woman again.

Davis looked behind and saw that they had arrived. His lips turned into a curve, "Indeed, you knew that the female Crowned Violet-Winged Condor had been pregnant with these younglings in the past, didn't you?"

The female wolf leader expressed her emotions through her gaze, complex to the extreme. She finally couldn't hold it back anymore as her lips moved.

"Our Clan's hatred against the Crowned Violet-Winged Condor isn't small and since you took her carca.s.s with you, I had no choice but to hide this information from you..."

"So what are you here for then?" Davis became amused, "Don't tell me you want to battle me to gain the rights to these infants?"

The female wolf leader shook her head with a determined expression on her face, "I am not."

"I am here to ask... to beg that you hand over that woman's carca.s.s, so I can quell the hatred and dissent within the clan."

Davis blinked, not expecting this kind of reply.

A magical beast actually begged him?

If people begged and did not use a threatening approach, then he was rather willing to listen and consider what they had to say at least.

He pondered over a moment and asked, "What are you capable of giving in return? It doesn't matter if it's not useful to us humans but it should be something of value..."

Davis relayed his intent, thinking that he could perhaps chance upon a peculiar, undervalued treasure which is, in reality, an Emperor Grade Treasure! However, his dreams were meant to be unwritten by the heavens.

The female wolf leader's face became blank and her luscious lips separated, "As an impoverished clan, we hold no territorial resources other than a few Earth Grade resources such as ingredients you humans regularly collect from the mountains. As for Sky Grade, we have none..."

A hint of crimson crept within her fair cheeks, embarra.s.sed, likely from the realization that she cannot give anything of value in fair exchange for the Crowned Violet-Winged Condor's carca.s.s.

"Please, I... we need it..."

The female wolf leader pleaded as her eyes became moist.

Davis became taken aback as he saw this magical beast reveal visible emotions just like a human. It was obvious that magical beasts all have feelings but to display it with vivid expressions, especially in a human form is another thing altogether!
