I was running through the streets of the city's poor neighborhoods, and I realized early on that I would be an easy target if I was flying, I also can't spread my Aura since it could attract a stronger monster than I can face.
After taking care of those 4 Demonic Dragons I go back to running through the alleys, sometimes I find people fighting monsters, so I deviate to another direction if they don't need help.
On the way I see many monsters with strength Grade SSS or below, I kill them with one hit or bottom are in big groups, and I use poison attacks.
I don't waste my time fighting these monsters, after a few minutes running between the houses in disrepair the wall next to me breaks and a black Ogre with a yellow horn jumps at me.
I dodge throwing myself to the ground as I spin kick his hand that held a dagger.
BAAAMMMM!!!!
When I was going to try to fight this monster I just feel a big blow breaking my bones as I go through many walls.
I feel the damage to my organs, my broken bones, and a powerful pressure as if there is something pressing me to the ground.
I recognized it being an Aura, it had no effect other than this heavy weight that could crush me at any moment.
"Are you okay?" (Voice 1)
"Is he still alive with that blow? Call a healer!" (Voice 2)
"Leave him to me." (Nix)
----------
Pov Silvia:
I got left behind but once what a shame I would like to fight more monsters but I know I'm not ready yet.
"Miss, are you related to Zenos?" (Adeline)
Suddenly as I was watching the mages working on building structures using the elements of earth, metal, and wood, the woman responsible for this entire operation approaches me.
"Yes, I'm one of your daughters." (I)
"Daughter?" (Adeline)
She looks at me suspiciously, it looks like she's as smart as she looks.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You don't need to know the details, so don't waste your time trying to look right through me with your Aura." (I)
"Sorry for the rudeness, as an Adventurer I've gotten used to knowing what's going on around me, it's the things you ignore that can get you killed." (Adeline)
"Dig into other people's secrets too, so know when to step in and step back." (I)
In my eyes she looks like a child trying to get something out of me with this indirect talk, even the act she shows her murderous intent in her gaze as a test for me, but that means nothing to me, even the Gods don't scare me anymore.
"I appreciate you dismissing the Priests of the Church of Light." (I)
"You knew they would come? Is that why you tried to help the man from the Mages' Guild?" (Adeline)
"I'm sorry for the manipulation, but you wouldn't do it if I just asked, would you?" (I)
"It took me a while to recognize your Father, it would have been really bad if that oversight had caused a battle here." (Adeline)
The Priests of the Church of Light would certainly attack us, due to the strength of the other Priests around here, I know that we would not have won, but this unilateral battle would have destroyed this camp and would have hindered the mission.
"We have a problem, a very strong monster caused great destruction in the slums area, it seems that the master was injured." (Nicole)
"I'm going to open a teleportation door..." (I)
"I will take care of it…" (Adelina)
"It won't be needed anymore, it looks like the monster had King Grade strength, it was already killed by a group of Adventurers nearby." (Nicole)
Nicole reproduces an image from above that reveals a line of destruction that runs for approximately 2 kilometers.
"I still need to know where it is..." (I)
"He's already recovering, it looks like it was just physical damage, which for him won't mean anything." (Nicole)
Nicole seems calm, I've heard of the times my Father got his body destroyed in the past, and I also know that he has a True Dragon's bloodline and is still a Vampire Patriarch, but I still worry.
----------
Pov Nix:
I couldn't react to the attack when I realized the master was already flying away, I couldn't even get out of his shadow to help, there was something preventing me from leaving the master's shadow, but when the Adventurers arrived, what was holding me disappeared and I step out of the Shadows taking the master in my arms.
"Leave him to me." (I)
The person who arrived first was calmer but seemed to want to help the master, but the second person was terrified, when I step out of the Shadows they point their guns at me.
"He'll be fine, but thanks for the help." (I)
I lift the master's shirt revealing the wounds closing and the bones falling back into place.
I take a Bottle of Blood from Freya and Jade, it seems that strong bloodlines have more potent healing effects than potions for the master.
Once he drank the two bottles of blood his wounds healed much faster, even his broken scales are shed by his body while new ones grow.
"Your regeneration of him is amazing." (Adventurer 1)
"Bone is already above an ordinary regeneration, maybe I should turn Vampire?" (Adventurer 2)
"Stop kidding around or I'll tell your daughter about last week." (Adventurer 1)
"You bastard, it was you who took me there..." (Adventurer 2)
I watch the two walk away, it was two Humans, but one of them must have Beastman bloodlines since he has a Cat's tail.
"Here, have some of my blood too." (I)
I bite my wrist and put it in his mouth, after a few seconds his eyes flutter open.
----------
Pov Zenos:
After my confusion got better, I realized that I couldn't move because my bones and muscles were destroyed, moreover the reason I couldn't see or speak was that my eyes must have been hurt, also my jaw was out of place.
When I managed to open my eyes I could see Nix giving me some of his blood, but his Spirit blood is just liquid spiritual energy, it doesn't even count as blood, but what counts is the intention.
"Thanks." (I)
I get to my feet and pull one of my shoulders back into place, the two bottles of blood from earlier helped me a lot to speed up my recovery.
I close my eyes and feel that my organs and muscles have already healed, moreover, the muscles and bones are still fractured but are starting to heal.
I open my eyes to see the surroundings, I realize I'm in a hole in the wall somewhere, when I look in the other direction I see a straight line of destruction as if a bulldozer had cleared the way pushing everything to the sides.
Next to me were pieces of bodies, the head or at least part of the head of the Ogre I was going to fight, and a lot of rubble.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I need more blood." (I)
I took out 40 bottles of blood from my storage item putting them all on the floor, then controlled the blood to come to my mouth drinking it all in a few seconds, I could feel the recovery speeding up a bit, and soon I was almost recovered.
Sigh
"I'm already fine, let's continue the mission." (I)
"Yea." (Nix)
This time Nix doesn't step into my shadow and comes running beside me, I look at my state realizing that my combat clothes were in pieces, no longer useful for combat.
"< Robes of Blood >" (I)
Blood oozes from the pores of my skin taking the form of dark red fabric as my lines intertwine with the blood, at the same time small black crystal scales grow on the arms, legs, and chest of the clothes.
The result is a red and black tactical combat suit that doesn't hinder my movements and regenerates itself using the vitality contained in the blood it's made of.
After taking care of my clothes, I continue running with Nix while we kill as many monsters as possible, we did this for almost 1 hour and did not find any survivors.
The closest to rescuing someone was when one of the Adventurers ran towards us leading monsters towards us, this happened 2 times by the same Adventurers.
As the places where the shelters were, seemed to be gathering stronger monsters due to the constant battles, I avoided going there, but in the end, it didn't matter when the giant sword that is still in the city starts to crack.
"The shelters have already been evacuated, we are bringing everyone back, enter the teleportation door." (Nicole)
As soon as I heard Nicole's voice in my head the teleportation door opens out of my shadow.
----------
When we got back I saw Adelina with both arms bandaged while a green Aura covered her body.
"Good job." (Adeline)
"How were you injured?" (I)
"Had to go rescue one of the shelters when the troublesome idiot got there..." (Adelina)
Before Adelina finishes speaking, a black fog hides the entire city in the blink of an eye, then strange lights and explosion noises begin to be heard.
"Activate!" (Adeline)
At that moment a green light circles the city with a distance of 3 kilometers around the city, I know this from the images seen from above that Nicole is providing.
