Chapter 990 Cap 988: Dragon Hero
As the fight continues between my sister Natasha and Veronica who became a Hero of mine I started to notice some things, their battle was being very brutal, they were even aiming at each other’s vital points.
“(That flow of energy flowing from me to her is vitality, but I don’t feel my vitality decreasing…)” (I)
It took me a few seconds to realize that it was my natural recovery rate, it seems that it was being diverted towards her helping to heal her wounds at a faster rate than mine.
The only explanation would be if my own resilience was being tamed her resilience.
“(I feel like I can stop this flow of energy if I want to.)” (I)
“(You can, but that’s not just her vitality, she just like Loki has access to her Mana, Ki, and Spiritual Power recovery ability.)” (Caitlyn)
“(You can also send your energy and vitality to them if you wish, you can also store your Holy Power inside them and they can only get more if you send it to them.)” (Caitlyn)
“…” (I)
I look up, my sister ripped off Veronica’s arm but had 3 swords piercing her back.
“That’s enough you two!” (I)
With my scream they stop and go down with panting breaths, my sister looks happy probably because of the intense battle, even I am not able to fight her at this intensity.
I walk over to where Elizabeth and Loki were resting so the 5 of us can talk about what Caitlyn told me.
“Do you guys need to go that far in your training?” (I)
“Don’t worry, even if it hit my heart and brain at the same time it wouldn’t kill me.” (Natasha)
“I apologize, I got carried away after so many years away from the heat of combat.” (Veronica)
“You were a War Goddess by what Loki told you.” (I)
“Yes, combat is part of my nature, even if I am no longer a Goddess, my nature will never change.” (Veronica)
“But Loki said you used a shield.” (I)
“As a Goddess, my duty was to protect, shields are my favorite, even though they are made for defense there are many techniques to use them in attack, but I am also a master in handling all weapons and even fighting unarmed.” (Veronica)
As we were talking I saw a flow of energy come to Veronica and focus on the wound on her arm that she lost, meanwhile her arm seems to heal.
“I didn’t know you could do that.” (I)
“I can’t…” (Veronica) .𝙘𝙤𝙢
I turn to her realizing that yes as I don’t understand what is going on then I look at her arm which was far away, it was dissolving into energy that is doing this.
“That’s interesting…” (Loki)
I turn to Loki only to see a letter in her hand with a mended heart drawn on it.
“Don’t look at me like that, that’s my weapon.” (Loki)
“…” (I)
“It was interesting to fight her.” (Elizabeth)
“What are these letters?” (I)
I look at Loki’s waist where there was a rack where many cards were stored, a deck of cards.
“I asked Lyra to make it for me with Rakan’s help, these cards are made with many precious materials, but at their base are magic crystals made to assume this form, then various spells and other things are placed.” (Loki)
“I thought about it later…” (Loki)
“Never mind, I think I can understand.” (I)
She must have gotten that idea from the card games of this world, for someone like her it must be perfect, using something made for fun as a weapon.
“I want to talk about something else, about you two.” (I)
I tell them the things I realized, it seems I was the only one who didn’t know what a Dragon Hero is, a Dragon Hero has strong bodies and increased energy capacity, and they also have a stronger Aura with the echo of Dragon Aura whom they serve.
Other than that they seem to have received two abilities that are still sealed away, what I told them about what Caitlyn told me seems to be just the beginning.
Elizabeth told me that a Dragon Hero is someone chosen by the Dragon Emperor or the Elders, they are used to be representatives of Dragons among other races and also as Warriors to help in combat when needed.
“I don’t know what to do about it.” (I)
“You don’t have to do anything, Dragons usually just do what they want, most Dragon Heroes of the past had a pretty free life most of the time.” (Natasha)

Pov Alan (Hero of Justice):
When I open my eyes I am assailed by pain, my bones ache and when I look down at my body I see my clothes in pieces, my armor more than just destroyed.
“Finally woke up…” (Arthur)
My brother was standing nearby at the crater door where I realized I’m in the middle, I try to get up even though my whole body hurts.
“Argh!” (I)
Sigh
I couldn’t stand up, so I sat at least while looking at the wounds on my body healing much faster than normal.
“I failed again.” (I)
“As I said before until you have a clear picture of what you want, it will never work.” (Arthur)
“What I want…” (I)
I’m trying to learn a technique known as Relic of Aura, this technique concentrates all the Aura in a form suitable for the specific Aura, but it’s almost impossible to learn this technique.
“It took me 286 years trying to learn this technique, but there are people who learn it in a matter of days, the hardest step is knowing the most appropriate way.” (Arthur)
“< Aura Relic: Blood Shield >” (Arthur)
On my brother’s arm, his Aura is concentrated forming a shield with the Symbol of the Temple of Blood, then the shield crystallizes as it changes to metallic colors of red.
“Remember, it should be something that represents what’s inside of you, not what you want it to represent.” (Arthur)
“But I…” (I)
“(How will I know what’s inside me?)” (I)
Talking is easy for him, but I don’t have centuries or millennia of life to train calmly, I also have no idea what’s inside me.
I tried the form of a sword but felt it was wrong, when I tried and my arm exploded it just proved the point.
This time I tried a shield like him, but that wasn’t it either, Aura’s explosion threw me far away, so I lost consciousness until now.
“(I have to think about it more…)” (I)

Pov Klaus:
I was holding a small box in my hands with what I needed, a Spirit Queen gave me what I asked for days ago.
“I still don’t know if this is good…” (I)
I was on the fence about what my daughter ordered, I don’t know how far that is a good idea.
“Still in doubt?” (Naraka)
? “I don’t know if I want her to change…” (I)
“People don’t change easily, you know that better than anyone, so stop worrying.” (Naraka)
I still don’t want to do this, but I know it’s in my daughter’s best interest, so I’m going to find her and deliver this.

Pov Barok:
I was sitting by the lake of the Spirits, this place is always peaceful and the view is always amazing while drinking a bottle of Wine of the Seas, my favorite drink.
“…” (I)
I’ve been feeling down these last few days, I know why, but it only makes things worse.
“You don’t know anything about her, so forget about her beautiful brown eyes, forget about that short black hair tied back in a little ponytail, forget about the way she wielded that big halberd.” (I)
“What are you doing here, Barok?” (Sapphire)
I look back where I see Jade’s mom, a training buddy, and friend, maybe she knows what I have to do.
————
After spending some time telling my problems she looks at me with a confused face.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” (I)
“Why are you wasting your time here, go after her.” (Sapphire)
“I can’t go, I don’t even know where she is?” (I)
“You fell in love with her my friend, it’s more than obvious.” (Sapphire)
“…” (I)
I remember when I met her, it was a short time ago, she just ran up to me and carried me in her arms against my will with a stupid smile on her face, I remember calling her crazy before receiving a headbutt losing consciousness.
The next few days were intense training where she was always scolding me, she always acted seriously during training but afterwards, she always acted in a very intimate way, it bothered me at first.
“(When did it stop bothering me?)” (I)
“(Calisto, where are you?)” (I)
“She was taken by a relative in the last fight and has not returned.” (I)
“You searched…” (Sapphire)
“She didn’t die, I already checked that, I just don’t know where she is.” (I)
“Ask the others for help, Kira and Elsaris might be able to find it for you.” (Sapphire)

Pov Zenos:
I spent the rest of the day together with Veronica and Loki, thanks to which I was able to learn more about both of them, mainly learning more about Veronica who I just met.
When I got back to the hut outside the Dungeon I was told that Freya would not be back today, she will already be near the World Tree and I can imagine what she is doing there.
“Let’s get some rest.” (I)
