Chapter 674: Children And The Elderly Are An Exception

I was sitting drinking a beer with my eyes closed after stopping the horrible drawings I was doing.

After so many days of training to improve my drawings, I still couldn't get where I want to go, but it was a good distraction from all the fight and death that unfortunately I got used to in this world.

"These designs are very good, but these armors are ridiculous, what woman would wear something that exposes so many vulnerable parts of her body?" (Karina)

"It basically makes the armor concept useless." (Karina)

"I know, I was just trying different types of drawings to test if I find what's missing in the drawings I do." (I)

"I think your drawings are amazing for an amateur." (Karina)

"No, they only have form, they are empty of meaning, empty of emotion..." (I)

For a second the image of the painting I saw in the church of the painting of the girl from the back comes to my mind, I vaguely remember for a moment seeing the image of a man touching the girl's head with affection, I felt a great emotion and a meaning I couldn't understand, but I can't tell if that was an illusion or real.

"Why are you drawing? It would be better to take your time to train more." (Karina)

"I'm tired of training, besides this break is to lighten the load on my mind due to constant training and battles." (I)

I don't feel that load, but I imagine it's there somewhere, I've heard that normally people don't feel the weight of their own load until it disappears, so they feel the feeling of lightness.

"As it has been for you, I know the rebuilding of your body is still in progress." (I)

"Freya told you?" (Karina)

"No need, the two of us are connected remember? I can feel some kim flowing towards you, plus your Aura is getting more and more different every day." (I)

"It has been difficult when I was awakened by your power before I thought the whole process ended there, but I was wrong, the last part of the process of becoming a Dragon Priestess linked to you, true Dragon, started days after that." (Karina)

"In the beginning, it was my body, it strengthened itself, but for that its power ran through my body destroying my bones and organs." (Karina)

"Sorry about that, I've felt something similar before and I know how painful it can be." (I)

"That wasn't too bad as it happened slowly and in parts it took months to finish but the result was amazing." (Karina)

"It was when my mind was attacked in my dreams that it was difficult, there were days I didn't even wake up from the illusions created from your mind." (Karina)

"What kind of illusions?" (I)

"Your illusions, sometimes I had to fight, sometimes I had to understand something through the things you said, and the last time I had to answer a question that I didn't even know I had inside me." (Karina)

"Freya was a big help taking care of me while I was sleeping, plus it took some time to sort my head out after that, everything was really hard." (Karina)

"I had a lot of trouble adapting to you..." (Karina)

"Why are you keeping your eyes closed all this time?" (Karina)

Pov Darius:

I arrived in town just in time to see a child being swallowed by a plant before being dragged underground, soon a foot stomped where the child was, but the child was no longer there.

I look around and see black shields rising from the shadows to defend people and Queen Melissa fighting the giant monster we saw from afar.

The 3 of us came this far, but I don't know if it's necessary for us to help with anything.

I look at the monster and I notice something strange, when Queen Melissa hurts him, I can see some kind of crystal inside the monster, I realized that there is a barrier around the crystal.

I thought about telling Queen Melissa, but from the way she's been directing her attacks, I think she figured it out along with me.

Her attacks are accurate, but the monster doesn't stand still receiving attacks, during one of her attacks the monster opens the spout causing an acid mist to come out of its mouth.

Seeing from afar seemed like one of the best options considering the current scenario, it was only when it allowed me to stay still that I thought about what to do now, but nothing.

Everything is going the way we initially thought.

Pov Athena:

"Why doesn't he die!?" (I)

This time I trapped him with spears of light passing through his body, the light poison in his body should already be burning his organs, but still, he keeps fighting.

"How long can you last, Celestina?" (Gregory Roux)

"Much longer than you after so many injuries." (I)

"These aren't wounds, there's only a true wound inside me, what you did to me will never do the same level of damage that this wound did to me." (Gregory Roux)

"< Curse Eater >" (I)

I create a magic composed of five different layers of magic, with that a sphere of light forms to absorb the curse in the environment, but when it reaches Gregory Roux, the sphere of light went to where he is and was floating above his head.

The sphere pulls in constant streams of Aura and stuff from Gregory Roux, but it doesn't seem to stop or slow down, in fact, my magic also serves to locate curses.

Thanks to that I've noticed that something is heading towards the city, it seems that the curse has formed some kind of link.

I bring one of my rings up to my mouth and talk to Darius wanting to know what this monster we saw earlier from the clouds looked like.

Looks like the monster was pretty bad, it was just as hard to kill as Gregory is being for me.

After that I listen to Darius tell me more about the monster, furthermore, I realize that this monster might be the cause for Gregory not dying from my attacks at his end points.
