Reborn As A Dragon Girl With A System-Novel

Chapter 508 - Old Man

Eden…

"Old man, can I ask what you are doing?" Aruya asked as she stood in front of a tall crystal that showed Kana walking through a desert valley with a young girl.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" The old man asked, tilting his head to the side, trying to act as if he had no idea what Aruya was talking about.

"You could have easily just calmed Kana down without any problem or making her turn into someone else. You lied to those that cared about her and took her away from her loved ones. Now she is on another world, clearly not remembering much about herself at all! It has already been 7 years! All she can do is cast regular magic and has no idea at all that she is actually a dragon!" Aruya yelled. She couldn't even stay by Kana's side even when she promised she would. But from what she was seeing, there was no way Kana would ever remember anything at the rate she was going.

"You are right. I could have done as you said. I am the god of creation, after all. But Aruya, you are missing the point of all of this. Those who rely on someone with great power will never learn to better themselves and grow as a person. The people around Kana relied on her too much. They began to expect her to be there to save them. This is not good for their development as an individual. Look at her friends and family now.

The paths they have chosen are much different than it was before. Her husband is working hard to strive to break himself from the mortal binds that held him in the sea of stars for so long in his previous life. Two of her daughters are also following the path of gaining strength. However, one is quite amazing at her speed of growth. This one was named Yana, was she not? Already a Void Grandmaster? Hmmm? Oh ho, she is carrying an ancient treasure. Her progress is very fast.

"The other one, Angelica, is almost ready to ascend to be a voidling. Not bad at all. As for her third daughter, she is pregnant again, I see… She seems to have settled down in her new life.

"The people of hell are also doing new things. That Tilia girl seemed to have left to roam the wild lands of hell. While the little fox girl is slowly growing stronger but is also caring for her family. Even those two useless fake goddesses are trying to make themselves useful now.

"As you can see, that once the ceiling of protection was removed, every one of them began moving differently. They realized they were inadequate and needed to improve themselves. Whether they die or not is now up to them, and only then will they begin to grow.

"As for Kana… She was restricted by the system that is embedded in her soul now. In order to remove this thought restriction of what she can and can not do, she needs to rediscover herself and learn how to control the things around her. Although I thought she would have figured out her own race by now, but it seems I underestimated her personality warp." The old man stroked his beard as he stared at Kana, who was edging close and closer to another mythical beast of that world, a nine headed hydra. Just by the fact that she was able to find all these monsters out in the middle of nowhere was strange to him. "How is she even finding all those monsters!?"

"Old man, what do you mean by personality warp?" Aruya was confused as she did not know what he meant by this.

"Kana right now has all of her personalities from each one of her lives merging together. But it seems she keeps reverting back to the one she first appeared on the Munas continent with. I am wondering if she is subconsciously blocking all of her memories. The death of her sister seemed to have hit her hard to the point she was ready to destroy all life on her own.

"I can not do anything more for her now. I can only wait until she willingly allows herself to remember all that had happened. We can only watch over her until then." The old man replied. To him, time was nothing. He wanted to give Kana time to heal on her own before returning to her old world and finding everything changed. He did not know what would happen to her mind if she were to try to deal with too many tragedies at once. After watching over her for so long, he had grown attached to the little lass that he had created all those millennia ago.

"Okay, I understand that, but why can't I or the other elementals stay by her side? You took them all away and are keeping them from returning to her." Aruya asked.

"For her own growth. Too much reliance on external power is not allowing her to grow stronger. As I see it now, if she had one of you by her side, she would end up asking you to handle all of her problems." The old man scratched his head and sat down. "Just sit and watch how her journey unfolds. Once she remembers you guys, I will send you back. But until then, the four of you are to wait here and watch over her"

"Mama! I must ask you to promise to never toss fire up another monster's butt! " Bell yelled out as she held on to Kana's back with all her might as Kana ran as fast as she could.

"This time it is not my fault! It's butt looked like a cave! How was i supposed to know it was a stupid hydra thing. Think about it… What are the odds of us running into all these stupid poweful monters? I swear on my life I am not doing this on my own. But you know what? I do not regret it!"
