I was a little tired, but it was nothing compared to how much I transform other people or empower other people, just using the darkness inside someone is so much easier.
I look at Hela beside me as we are walking through the woods to the mansion, the changes in her physique are very big but what surprises me the most is the change in her Aura and presence.
Before she was like a murderous beast, but now she seems like a wise person with an expressionless face most of the time, it seems like she doesn’t know how to express herself.
“Hela, do you remember your previous life?” (I)
“If the master is talking about when I was Farus the foolish Necromancer who was tricked by an Heretic God, then yes.” (Hela)
“Why did I feel a little angry at the way you said that?” (Vanessa)
“Why am I angry, this man’s memories are absurd, for now, it’s still a little scrambled in my head, but what little I understand I can clearly see that he was digging his own grave.” (Hela)
“I feel ashamed that my soul was such a foolish man in the past.” (Hela)
“Do you feel anything from those memories?” (I)
“No, to me they’re just like other people’s memories or like I’m reading a storybook, nothing more.” (Hela)
“What is Hela’s race, master Zenos?” (Orion)
“Her race is Kimera Dragonica of the Abyss.” (I)
“Yes, thanks to the master I was also able to awaken as a true Dragon.” (Hela)
“I’m glad for that, I wanted to give you the bloodline of a True Dragon when I was creating the heart of darkness, but I couldn’t synthesize with any other bloodlines, so I had to use a more common bloodline.” (I)
“The power the master bestowed on me in the end completely transformed my lineage, furthermore it freed my mind that was trapped in the suffering of thousands of people.” (Hela)
“Wait! What do you mean the suffering of thousands of people?” (I)
“The item that the master calls the heart of darkness was with the suffering, fear, and death that all the thousands of people had, it contained all the negative feelings and all that was tearing me apart.” (Hela)
“But those bad feelings passed, all thanks to master Zenos.” (Hela)
“Have you confirmed your powers yet?” (I)
“A few moments ago.” (Hela)
“My physical stats are all very high, plus I inherited all skills from Farus, I also inherited many skills from my bloodline.” (Hela)
“I learned to do that too.” (Hela)
“< Infernal Flame of the Abyss >” (Hela)
Hela opens her hand up and a black flame appears in her palm, the same flame that was enveloping her body during the transformation.
“This fire can cause physical, mental and soul damage.” (Hela)
“It can only be extinguished by holy or divine magic, and it can burn anywhere, even underwater.” (Hela)
“How do you know these things if you were born now?” (I)
“The Dungeon offers a lot of information on the day of the summon, at least for monsters that have a soul and are summoned in a special way.” (Nix)
“I also wanted to ask a question, okay?” (I)
“I will answer everything I know, master.” (Hela)
“Because your tail is wrapped around my arm and rubbing the little Dragon’s head on my shoulder.” (I)
“…” (Hela)
Hela is surprised and looks at my arm where a Dragon-headed Serpent is curled up while her head is lying on my shoulder looking asleep.
“Sorry master, I’m still not in full control of my body.” (Hela) 𝓫𝓭𝓸𝓋𝓁．𝓬𝓸𝓂
“Alright, don’t worry about it.” (I)
“Nix, can you tell how strong Hela is compared to you and me?” (I)
“She has the same strength level as me, special summons that has soul have a maximum strength limiter, they can only be summoned at max level of Dungeon Master if they have a soul.” (Nix)
“Just for you to have a better understanding, the master’s strength after he evolved should sit on par with mine.” (Nix)
“So the three of us have the same level of strength.” (I)
“Yes, the master must remember that she doesn’t have the work system either, so she won’t have the same facility to learn new skills and techniques that others have.” (Nix)
“I have no plans to learn any more skills until I can control the ones I currently have.” (Hela)
“That’s a good decision, tomorrow you can start training with Nix or me, combat training is the best way to learn to control the body faster.” (I)
“The carriage should still take two or three days to reach the city, so I’m free during that time.” (Nix)
“It reminds me that I have to think about who’s going to go into town with me, but I’ll save that for later.” (I)
“Vanessa, as soon as we arrive, go with Hela to Tania and order three sets of simple and quick clothes for Hela, she will have time later to make better clothes, now we need something to keep Hela from walking around naked.” (I)
“That won’t be a problem, from what I’ve seen Tania doing so far, she’s just going to get some clothes that are ready and modify a little for now.” (Vanessa)
“Orion, when we get back, I want you to go train some Jade and Lilith.” (I)
“As you wish, master.” (Orion)
“Jade has been trying so hard the last few days, she didn’t like not being around when the master was fighting King Makari.” (Vanessa)
“The truth is that other people didn’t like to see your state destroyed master, you being unconscious for so long didn’t do much to improve everyone’s mood either.” (Nix)
“I’m fine now, plus it looks like a lot of people were motivated by this event.” (I)
“Yes, even Nolan started training with Irius, he says he wants to at least know how to defend himself so he doesn’t become a burden to the master.” (Vanessa)
While I was talking time seems to pass faster, soon we had arrived at the mansion where I separate myself from Vanessa and Hela who went after Tania.
On the way we passed the camp where everyone started to welcome Hela, I also met Lilith on the way who ran to us and greeted Hela.
I called Freya and asked if there was still any room available in the mansion that already has so many people, but she said there was still one last empty room, I asked her to make room for Hela.
When night fell everyone was gathered in the meeting room where I first introduce Hela to everyone, I say that I used Farus’ soul to create her, but no one seemed to care, it seems that without me noticing other people had already talked to her while I did other things during the day, everyone said she was nothing like Farus.
There was only one person who was very irritating, that was Layla when she discovered that Hela had the Necromancer abilities that Farus had, Layla didn’t stop teasing Hela for the rest of the meeting, but to me, it felt like a child’s tantrum.
After that I started talking to everyone about the next city we were going to, I said that this time it will be me, Nix, Jade, Layla, Sophia, Vanessa, Diana, Ibuki, and Kira.
I wouldn’t take érica or Lilith with me because they’re Demons, I don’t want to cause a misunderstanding if anyone finds out these two are Demons.
Also, I’m not taking any other Vampires for the same reason, I’m just taking Vanessa along with me because she’s a Priestess of the Goddess Selene, so maybe taking her is okay.
After saying the list of who was going to go and the reason why I chose these names, Nira started to say that she would have to do something in this city, it seems we have a lot of stuff backed up that we don’t need, so Nira wants to sell a large number of things.
From what Nira said, Leonardo left a list of materials he will need, in addition, he left a large list of materials he would need in building the city.
I look at the list and Nix looks over my shoulder too, then she says that some of the things on the list can be produced inside the Dungeon if you build certain types of mountains, but that it would take two months for each mountain and there are 7 mountains in total, I can’t wait that long.
It was then that Ivan said that we are almost at the turn of the year, normally this is when the waves of monsters usually happen, when he said that we realized that we could take advantage of this to accumulate a large amount of DP in a short time, but For this, we will need to make some preparations.
———–
A few days later we arrived at the city of Jargan, this city borders the Illusory Forest.
During that time many things were done, the time was very short, but I managed to adapt completely to my body, besides that, I discovered something that surprised me.
I was in a large carriage and clearly larger than the vast majority of the others around the city gates, but this carriage was named after the Merchants of Eclipse, the trading group Nira created in the Trading Guild.
Inside the carriage was me, Freya, Sophia, Nira, Kira, Diana, Ibuki, and Jade in their human form.
Layla was invisible to ordinary people sitting on my shoulder, Nix was inside my shadow, and Orion was in baby monster form clinging to my other shoulder.
Orion had the appearance of a red wolf cub with a small crystal horn on his head and a fox tail, plus the only strange thing would be his different colored eyes, I told Orion to avoid talking without my permission, for now, the only The reason I brought him was that he ensured he had the ability to completely hide my Aura if he was around me, so I bring him since I don’t need any more Fairies and Spirits gathering around me.
