Chapter 192: Naming The Dragon

"It's already cleared! Let's go!" Victoria got off Zach's lap and stood on the throne. She wanted to jump down, but she didn't.

She turned to Zach and said, "I am scared to jump down. Can you carry me?"

Of course, that was a lie, and Zach knew that.

"Sure." Zach carried Victoria in his arms like a princess and jumped down.

Victoria smirked at Aria with a smug look on her face and kissed Zach on the cheek before saying, "Thank you."

"…!" Aria clenched her fists in annoyance and said, "Zach. I am also scared to jump down."

"…."

Aria spread her arms and said, "Carry me too."

"But… this is your throne, and I am sure you have got off thousands of times. Even I have seen you…"

Zach stopped speaking when he saw Aria pouting.

'She is so fun to tease! But hot damn! She looks so cute while pouting; second to Aurora, of course.'

Zach jumped on the throne, carried Aria in his arms, and landed beside Victoria.

Victoria and Aria glared at each other for a while, and Zach watched them with an amusing look on his face.

However, he couldn't enjoy it for much longer.

[Master, I have a request,] the dragon said to Zach.

"Yeah, what?"

[Can you name me too?]

"Umm.. isn't your name Malinda Edna?" Zach wondered with a puzzled look on his face, seemingly unable to comprehend the reason why she wanted Zach to name her. After all, no one would want to be called by a different name other than what they were named.

[I have reincarnated because of you. You are my benefactor and my Master. I exist to serve you, and I shall die to protect you. Please, name me and let me be your pet.]

The dragon said that with her utmost sincerity, and Zach couldn't help but wonder how unyielding her loyalty was. 

Zach felt as though he didn't deserve it since he hadn't done anything for the dragon.

"Why… why are you so loyal to me?" Zach asked out of curiosity. "I haven't done anything for you. It's true that I helped you reincarnate, but honestly, it would have been anyone."

[If you think that, then I feel saddened.] The dragon uttered in a disdainful tone. She looked up at Zach and asked, [Am I not worthy of being your servant?]

"No, no. That's not it. You are misunderstanding something. I am overjoyed to have a dragon as my pet; I always wanted one. But I…" Zach let out a weary sigh and said, "I promise you, I will make sure to avenge your death and slay that masked player."

[I am happy to hear that. However, I would be happier if you named me.]

Zach pondered for a while to find a suitable name for the dragon, but he couldn't think of one.

He turned to Aria and said, "Do you want to name it?"

"Hmm…" Aria placed her hand on her chin and looked at the dragon for a while. "How about Avengon?"

Zach squinted his eyes at Aria and asked with a judging look on his face: "Did you must mix 'average' and 'dragon'?"

"That's how people used to name things thousands of years ago," Aria responded with a shoulder shrug.

SIGH!

"Can I name it?" Victoria asked Zach.

"Sure." 

Victoria smirked after hearing that. She never forgave anyone and made sure to take her revenge by humiliating them. And now, the dragon was her prey.

Since the dragon ignored Victoria when she asked for directions, she was now going to take revenge on her by naming her something awful.

"How about… flame thrower?" Victoria suggested and smirked inwardly.

[Master, can I burn this woman into crisp and turn her into ashes?] the dragon asked in an annoyed tone.

"No, you cannot." Zach frowned his face at the dragon and Cerberus and asserted, "Neither of you is allowed to hurt my friends."

"Oh? So I am your friend?" Victoria asked with a knowing look on her face.

"That's what we are, right? Friends?" Zach quoted 'friends' with his fingers.

"You are not wrong, but you know I love you. So I want you to refer to me as your harem member," Victoria stated.

"But it's exciting that way," Zach stated. "Aurora is a princess, so my relationship with her is already exciting. Aria is a goddess."

'And my aunt!' he added inwardly.

"Aquarius is a mermaid and a princess. And Ruli is Aquarius' aunt, which is too thrilling." 

Zach nudged Victoria and said, "Now, if you are my friend, we will have a relationship of friends with benefits— although only I am allowed to have that privilege, it's still exhilarating."

Victoria shook her head in disbelief and walked out of the portal after saying, "You sound more and more like your douchebag friend Shay."

"… I feel offended…" Zach muttered.

[Master, my name,] the dragon insisted.

"Uhh.. nothing comes to my mind right now. So let's think of one after we have cleared this dungeon expedition of 100 floors," Zach said in a calm voice.

"Maybe Aurora would suggest a good name," he wondered.

Zach looked at Cerberus and said, "Go back into my shadow. You are wasting my MP. I will call you when I need you."

Cerberus bowed down to Zach and said, [As you wish, my liege.]

After saying that, Cerberus went inside Zach's shadow.

Zach turned to the dragon and asked, "And… what will you do? You are too small to aid me in the fights. And I can't protect you when I am fighting."

[I will go into your shadow as well. Please, summon me if you need help with anything.]

After saying that, the dragon vanished into thin air.

Zach and Aria left the domain and met with everyone else. They passed through the portal and proceeded to the 91st floor.

'Wait for a little more, Aurora. I will be with you in a few hours.'
