I was furious with that Adventurer, daring to point his spear at Zenos out of prejudice against his race, even in a situation where he had clearly helped a lot of people.
An Adventurer more than any other must not have any kind of prejudice, you never know when they will need to meet with a specific Noble, escort someone somewhere, or fight alongside other Adventurers, in these situations prejudices hinder the completion of the quest mission or may even lead to death.
As in that case, if not for this Adventurer's strength, he would have died here, of that, I have no doubt.
On the way to the city, Sophia seemed restless, but I wonder why.
"You were going to talk to him today, right?" (I)
"I wanted to give him time to get used to his new body." (Sophia)
"Talk to him when we leave this place." (I)
"< Poison Rain >" (Hela)
Right before we even reach the city we are confronted with dozens of Infernal Storm Birds, according to the explanation of the monsters of that woman from the Adventurer's Guild, these monsters fight in groups and are above the Upper Catastrophe Grade.
"(Nicole! We have dozens of Hell Storm Birds going to...)" (I)
"< Rune Combination: Winter Incarnation Storm >"
Hela was the first to notice and tried to get the attention of these monsters while buying time for us, I used that time to communicate with Nicole, but before I finished speaking a group of Runics passed by naked using the magic that creates magical wings.
These Runics were 5, all had a spirit nearby, they created a storm where instead of normal snow there are birds made of snow forming ice storms that come from all directions from the monsters.
After a few minutes' battle, the monsters lost to the unlimited number of snowbirds that the storm spawned, so the dozens of monsters became statues of ice that shattered on the ground.
"Hello beautiful ladies, hope to have..."
"Shut up, we don't have time in the middle of a special mission to vice hit on girls, you idiot."
"(What happened Diana? Do you hear me?)" (Nicole)
One of the Runics tried to fly towards us with a big smile on his face but was pulled by the collar by one of his companions who flew back towards the city.
"(I was going to warn of a group of monsters, but another group of Adventurers took care of them.)" (I)
"(Alright, from the information I've been getting, it looks like there might still be people in the poor neighborhood, the master is going there, what are you going to do?)" (Nicole)
"(I'm going there too.)" (I)
I turn and start running across the sky in my Wolf form as the other two come flying after me.
After 10 minutes I arrive in the slums only to find that this place is full of bodies lying around, but they are all bodies of people in ordinary clothes, there are no bodies of Adventurers or monsters around.
"They abandoned these people…" (Sophia)
"I don't think that's quite what happened." (Hela)
I look around and remember the map of the city, I also remember the place where the emergency shelters are.
"I see, there were no emergency shelters nearby, I also don't think there were any Adventurers around before the monsters started attacking." (I)
"I imagine that those Adventurers who didn't flee or go to protect the shelters stayed where they were to fight." (I)
"I see, so there was no one around from the beginning." (Hela)
"They're coming, 20 from the right and 4 from above!" (I)
Soon a Demonic Armor Group appeared, in addition, 4 Demonic Dragons were coming, but it seems that they started a separate fight.
"< Wind Incarnation >" (Diana)
I transform to the middle of my normal body and my direwolf body, this means that I am taller and stronger even if I look like a woman of the Werewolf race.
I reinforce my body with wind element Ki and run into the middle of the enemies, while Sophia attacks them from above with her Griffin.
"< Fang of the Wind >" (I)
I start my attack by fighting a large Wind Wolf that runs through all the monsters and tearing to pieces the last two that carried bows to attack from afar.
"Let's get this over with." (I)
I look quickly at Hela, she was looking into a well in the middle of the street, she puts her hand inside and pulls a child out.
I had only come along with Nix, I'm not very well coordinated in this kind of situation, I like to move around hands free so being that way works best for me.
"< Dragon Lines >" (I)
When the Demonic Dragons were approaching I used my lines which were coated with my Dragon scales to pull the 4 Dragons down.
"< Lunar Claw >" (Nix)
"< Dragon's Roar >" (I)
ROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
Dragon's Roar is a technique that mixes my Aura and my Scream Skill, this was the first time I used this technique, but it seems to have worked very well with the 2 Dragons that were left since the other two lost their heads by Nix's claws.
"What do we do with these two?" (I)
I look at the two shivering Dragons with their heads down.
"They may be monsters, but they don't appear to be first generation or their Aura would have no effect." (Nix)
"Normal dragons are not able to go against True Dragons, your roar just now was the same as an order to surrender on their heads." (Nix)
"I make the Spirits take these two to the Dungeon, leave them in the land of the living dead where no one lives." (I)
"I'll decide what to do with them later." (I)
"It's all right." (Nix)
Pov Arash (True Dragon Black Emperor):
I can't believe how beautiful she was, now she can transform into her Humanoid form.
"I had long discussions with your mother about what she would look like in human form." (I)
The images of that time are still as fresh in my mind as if it were today, that curious young Dragon, that beautiful woman I was honored and proud to call my wife, I had it all.
My only arguments with my wife was who our daughter would be more like, I used to laugh saying it was an easy win for me, after all, she was a True Dragon like her father.
"Her red hair and different color eyes are beautiful, unlike me and her mother, but at least her face..." (I)
I close my eyes and I can see the resemblance, it seems my wife was right in the end.
I open my eyes to see her fighting, she possesses the element of the Moon like her mother and uses it to perfection in battle.
"You shouldn't go there yet, thanks to this happening there are many eyes in the city." (Caitlyn)
"Do you have any idea what you're asking of me? Do you know how long I've waited to see my daughter? How long I've waited to hug her!? To hear her voice at least!?" (I)
"You would put a target on her, you better than anyone should know about those who would love to discover her weaknesses." (Caitlyn)
"She's not strong enough yet, you might have had the chance if none of this had happened." (Caitlyn)
I look at her one more time, she is so close that if I reach out my hand will reach her, but it still seems like I will never reach her.
