Chapter 991: The List Part 1

Pov Kira:

"Are you going to talk to him too?" (I)

"No, he sent for me." (Zilla)

"He wants my answer to his last request." (Zilla)

"From your expression are you thinking of refusing?" (I)

"I don't want to owe him more than I already owe him." (Zilla)

I look at this giant mermaid, she really seems to be thinking about these stupid things.

"You owe him your life, not to mention you're living in his Kingdom, you owe him too much already to stop now, actually that's a good way to repay him." (I)

"Get stronger to be someone capable of fighting alongside all of us, that will be how you can pay your debt." (I)

She seems to be considering my words as she heads towards Zenos' hut.

"(She is very serious about these things, thinks too much about an opportunity to become stronger.)" (I)

Pov Barok:

Today I was walking through the village of the Elves looking for someone to deliver a message to me in the city on the coast of the island where we were, then I feel an Aura that I know involve my body and in a short time, I feel someone's arms around me.

"I've been looking for you for a long time." (I)

"My Uncle didn't want to let me go back, he has other mercenaries preparing in case another attack happens." (Calisto)

She was a little shorter than me but her strength was several levels above me, I didn't even realize when she appeared or which side until she scooped me up in her arms and at that moment none of it mattered.

I take her into my embrace as I rub my forehead against hers in a gesture of intimacy.

"I want to be with you..." (I)

"I also want to be with you..." (Calisto)

Without saying anything else we look into each other's eyes and go to the place where we are staying, I occupy one of the huts and throw Irius out.

Hours later we were cuddling in bed and I heard his voice in my ear.

"I want to stay, but would he have me?" (Calisto)

"He accepts for sure, otherwise he wouldn't even have been allowed to enter the Dungeon." (I)

"I fell in love with you the moment I looked into his eyes." (Calisto)

"The same eyes as my father, eyes that hold doubt and full of boundless will." (Calisto)

"I've met a few people like that in my life, more than half of those people have changed over time and the others have silly motives like money and success." (Calisto)

"But the moment I looked at you, I knew, I was sure of your personality." (Calisto)

"A simple and clear Aura that doesn't mask emotions, a loyalty, and sincerity that overflows from her Aura along with a boundless will..." (Calisto)

She lifts her head and steals a kiss from me as she squeezes me tighter.

"I've always looked up to my father, even in his death he was standing between a monster and our family." (Calisto)

"When I looked at you that day it was like I could see an image of him behind you." (Calisto)

"I'm glad you think I'm so good, but I'm no different than most people in our town, we all have strong wills." (I)

"Others don't matter to me, only you..." (Calisto)

Pov Zenos:

After I woke up I was talking to Nira while Hinata was sitting on my lap eating sweets, I don't even know where what she eats goes, she doesn't even have a physical body.

"So Hela wants to wait?" (I)

"Yes, yesterday Freya was turning the White Elf Queen into an Ancient Elf, so she wants to wait a while before doing her ritual." (Nira)

"She's been honing this for too long, what's wrong?" (I)

"The Hela I know wouldn't be so cautious as putting off a ritual so important to her for the sixth time." (I)

"She is afraid, she has never performed this ritual, the consequences are also severe if she fails." (Nira)

"She won't fail, I had a look at the ritual and Rakan too, everything is more than correct, the chances of her failing are almost zero." (I)

Hela doesn't usually get this scared, something is wrong, I think I'll talk to her later to understand this better.

"I'll talk to Hela later, now I want to know about the list." (I)

"You can start whenever you want, everyone accepted." (Nira)

"I'll start tomorrow, I need a little more time to decide some things." (I)

I'm always thinking of new combinations of bloodlines and skills, I'm always curious about some things and end up getting lost in my thoughts.

"Are you sure you still want to do this on your terms?" (Nira)

"Yes, we have few people for big fights like the last one, we need more capable people." (I)

"Also I noticed, there are several within my group that are not evolving or that have hit a wall of growth." (I)

"So you noticed" (Nira)

Sigh

"Some of your familiars are already at the maximum level, the same can be had for all your children and some of your servants like Barok, Jade, and Ivan." (Nira)

I put my hand on my forehead, I know exactly why they are not evolving or the reason for the stagnation of password strengths, the same is happening with Loki and Veronica now.

I had noticed these things for some time, no one is improving, and even the change of jobs between those closest to me has been less frequent from what I heard Vanessa talking to another Priest in the Communal Temple.

The reason for this is me, all of this is because they are bound with me to be at the same strength level as me or below.

I look at my level at a glance and realize that I'm not far from leveling up, it feels like I gained EXP from all my Familiar invites while watching them from afar.

"It was impossible not to notice something so obvious, but soon I will evolve, so I want to take care of the list before then." (I)

"I never know what's going to happen during my evolutions, so I like to be as prepared as possible." (I)

"I heard about your third oldest sister, what are you going to do about it?" (Nira)

"Nothing, for now, she needs something that is yet to be delivered." (I)

-------------------

Pov Julius (Black Empire Emperor):

I was reading the reports from the various battlefields, the casualties are on par, and the attack locations were so predictable that it made it easy to prepare.

"Then the real war will begin at last." (I)

In the reports there are reports about many strange situations where the Church of Light is retreating from the battlefields and concentrating all their forces on my borders, it seems that they don't want to buy any more time.

"At least not everything is bad." (I)

I looked at the reports about the captures or deaths of those important to the enemy ranks.

"But I still don't understand all this they are doing, but something is wrong, it seems as if they are..." (I)

"Looks like you figured it out." (Julian)

"..." (I)

I was so uneasy about all of this that it took me a while to notice the person sitting in front of me, the Founder and my ancestor, Juliano.

"Why did you leave the hut?" (I)

"Why are they here, they may be fewer in number than they originally intended, but they are here." (Julian)

"..." (I)

It seems that this is the reason for the mobilization of the Church of Light troops, they have so far scared all our allies away from my Empire.

"What should we do? Can we attack?" (I)

"No, we still have time to prepare." (Julian)

He spent the rest of the day talking with the founder going over everything in preparation for the attack.

Pov Veronica:

I was testing my skills alone still inside the Dungeon, this body is very different from my previous body it also moves differently.

Sigh

I let out a sigh as I look at hundreds of weapons of all types floating around me.

Each sword, spear, or any other weapon had different properties, their Summoning speed was slower.

After testing with this skill for a few hours I think I can use it better during combat.

"Now I need to get used to this body." (I)

"I can help with that." (Natasha)

I look to the left and see Natasha descending from the sky, I wave to her and we both take a fighting stance on the ground this time.

I run towards her giving a punch attack while turning my wrist inwards, when she grabbed my fist I kept running while bending my arm transferring the strength of the punch to an elbow that hits her in the chest.

After that attack, we separate and I look at my arm that is crooked, this body is more fragile than I expected, I may have to train this body more before entering a real fight.

"I think before I continue with these trainings, I should go back to the basics to build this better body." (I)

"Do you have an Alchemist?" (I)

"Yes, her name is Lyra, what do you need?" (Natasha)

I approach her as I write a few things down on a piece of paper before handing it over, she reads it and nods in confirmation before leaving.

"This will help me, I need to make this body stronger and more flexible before moving on to the next part of the training plan." (I)
