2024-10-29 19:42:56Ethons was curious about the skeletons they had just battled against.
"The answer to that question is pretty simple to how they came back on their own. They are restless and haven't not the prepared place to be buried and so rise like that of a vengeful spirit coming back to wreak havoc on the living."
"Could this happen often, Collin?"
"Sometimes here and there at certain places in this world. Yet problems like this are always taken care of."
"By who." Ethons and Collin walk with each forward since there wasn't a point to hang around broken and beaten undead skeletons.
"Well, adventures of course they take on simple quests like this for money."
"Adventures huh Collin why didn't you become one. I bet you would have made quite the money with your skills."
"It's not a thing for me. I am someone who likes to just travel around the world Ethons."
Ethons does wonder about the adventurer job should it be something he could take up.
There is the problem of him being a cursed Dragonborn which makes this life difficult to live.
If anyone were to discover this secret of his, well everything will become a problematic situation to have to deal with.
"Anyway best to seek a place to stop at and take the time to rest. I had my intentions that a town shall be not far from us."
"Great could do with a rest after traveling for a while."
"I know, but remember be careful not to give away what you are when in the town."
"Hey, haven't I always been good at doing that these past years?"
Collin believes that, but it is the future that worries the man because the time they have with each other is drawing close to an end.
When that has come to happen Ethons will be on his own for then on to make whatever choice on whatever path he takes.
"Ethons when we reach a town there is a matter of an important discussion that needs to be had."
**********************
《Random town Moring time》
Night time has changed to the daytime morning where Collin and Ethons arrive at a town they have come across in finding.
This town's name is Caister, an average-sized place.
As Collin handles the guards soon both if they were let inside.
The first thing they did was seek out an inn right away to rest their body and get some sleep.
It took about a few hours and the morning went into the evening close to being Nighttime.
As Collin and Ethons had their nice sleep they left the inn to go hang out at a tavern to drink and eat.
"So what exactly is it that you want to talk about Collin."
Ethons bring that up as the two of them sit down and order their drinks and food.
"Yes, the discussion is going to involve you, my friend."
"What do you mean have I done something wrong?"
"Nothing like that, it's just our time together. Time has come for that to come to an end."
"What!? Why."
Collin foresaw this reaction and was ready with words to say to Ethons.
"The 10 years traveling with you since that day is always going to be memories I will hold dear. Yet there is nothing more for me to teach you and I think it is time for yourself to be going alone."
"I didn't think this was going to happen though we were traveling together like this forever, I guess."
"Sorry, but that won't be happening anymore, I have matters that will take me elsewhere, and besides you are ready Anyway."
Ethons doesn't know what to think, he never saw this come to an end.
"What do you think I should do once on my own?"
"That is not for me to make for you, it is a matter that you must decide on your own."
"Well that is not going to be easy, I don't know what I want to do with this life of mine."
"Here you two go, your drinks are ready, but your food will take a little longer."
The tavern maid placed both cups of their drinks on the table.
"That's fine with us thank you."
"Yeah, thank you."
"Oh, no problem at all if you need anything else don't hesitate to ask me personally."
The tavern maid places a hand on Ethon's arm drawing it slowly across while winking at him as she soon leaves.
"You are quite the lady-man Ethons wherever we go they always throw themselves at you."
"I am cursed with the looks of beauty."
"Ha, I am not half bad myself on looks yet I always envy you elves blessed with beauty along with living a long time."
Collin laughs and Ethons just chuckle where Truthfully at this moment he had yet to experience that of the opposite flesh.
"Do you think I can do well alone as I am?"
"I think so, but you must keep what you are completely
"Yeah, I will definitely…."
The sound of the tavern door burst wide open as two fingers covered in armor walked inside cutting Ethons as he was speaking.
They were not the guards or adventures given to what these two were wearing to show the strangers belong to some order.
"Greetings ladies, gentlemen, and any other races hanging at this tavern. My partner and I have come to refresh ourselves after battling and killing an earth wyvern. So I say this to you: all drinks are on us dragon hunters."
The crowd inside cheers highly by the free drinks they will be getting from the newcomers and their news of killing an earth wyvern.
It didn't take long for them to be certain of attention by everyone inside coming to speak with them.
"Dragon hunters, I can smell the blood……"
"Of that wyvern, they have just announced killing."
"You don't sound angry by it, given what the other half of you is."
"Just because I am half dragon doesn't mean I have to show emotion every time one of them gets killed."
Collin says that about himself yet at the same time Ethons was feeling anger and hate toward the Dragon hunters.
Such feelings do not belong to him much, but that of the soul inside of them.
"Calm yourself Ethons allow not the emotions of the dragon soul to control you."
"I am doing my best here Collin, it's just hard to control it."
"Come now we have been training on this, I know you can keep the soul at peace just remember what you have to do."
Ethons pay attention to bringing the dragon's soul down instead of getting out of control to where they are.
Soon it worked. He was doing well and the man was impressed at how fast it was happening.
"Good now keep it that way going to have to since we can not leave just yet."

A serious matter we are talking about and I don’t like to be kept in the dark on what you're trying to hide from me.” Gerg says as he gets a mean look on his face telling that he is serious. “It seems there is no point in continuing your bad acting, sir. I think to be best we are discussing this full truth and no games or lies are understood.” Catalina voices her as well.This shows that Bernard was out to match as there were two against one at the time which he had no interest in fighting against. “ Fine, then what do you want to know, Greg.”

Ch 63: Hiding the truth
Corina close to death opened her eyes to see the mouth of the dragon open wide pausing right there before closing onto the girl's body. She took deep breaths in her state of great relief to be alive, taking the chance at stepping back a few steps to get away from the mouth, being that the creature could still close it at any moment.Then the dragon resumed moving again pulling back the head as it began to look upward to the sky where at that moment a roar shook the earth and attacked the ear of those in the area.They come to witness something strange happening to the dragon as its whole body went up in flames and they can feel the heat blazing at them that any closer anyone could get burned by the touch. When the flames blew away and whatever was left to be Ethons the elf lay on the ground in the very same spot as the dragon. He took not long in awakening, opening his eyes slowly and getting up at the same time.“Look like we did it to bring it back under control.”Ethons says to

There is much to discuss that needs to be answered.”“You must understand this shouldn’t have ever happened, our souls must have never come to be one together.” Ethons didn’t like to hear this from the dragon. It hurts that he feels regret about saving his life by doing that ritual to do so. “Look what is done, we can't do anything about it, sorry that you feel that way about it, but let's just move on from it.”“You don’t get it, the b

Ch 61: Realm of the two souls
It was impressive for the guild master to feel such pain at this level again after such a long time. In a sense, Bernard was starting to enjoy the sensation of making him alive again in the mindset of a battle. "I must thank you for bringing back such a feeling to me, I have been out of the game of fighting with such a dangerous opponent again. I honestly can’t remember the last one, I face how sad that is to be.” Bernard uses the right hand placing it over the wound where the light shines from the palm of that hand showing the wound beginning to heal within short seconds. The same can be said for the dragon given that a creature such as this has the high value of healing of its own. This makes Dragons difficult to slay, more so to wound one greatly as that can not be done without a legendary weapon or a very powerful spell that matters. “There that has been taken care of now guess we can resume back into the fight don’t you agree.” A roar was given as the answer for him to hear

Bernard began to cast a spell to use against the dragon in front of him, one that he plans not to pick to do the most harmful damage on this creature as it surely will not hold back either.First, he plans to cast a spell that will hold the enemy in place to buy time for him and then enhance himself can’t just fight on this way for long going to need buffs on this fight.“Ethereal Ice Chain” Ice shot out of Bernard had soon formed into chains that grabbed and warped around the large body of the dragon.Sadly doing this will not take effect for long against a dragon being a creature that has a high-level resistance to magic and this will come to a short end. “Ogres' Courage.” That is what the guild master cast as the feeling of courage like an Ogre feeling brave like never before starting to care not of who is being faced at this moment.Now at the time, the ice chains break by the forces of the dragon proving how strong these creatures are among those that can resist magic.The guild

Dragonquaker has been a time since you had a great fight and kill at that.” Those adventurers there were amazed at the Lace the guild master had summoned to his side. There have been stories that he had collated powerful legendary weapons from the past at the time the guild master was once an adventurer like them.None at the guild ever had the chance to witness one of those legendary ever since Bernard became guild master. There was never a reason to use his legendary weapons again once taking up the job.

The masked stranger wasn't gone and kept a distance that allowed this person to have a good view of the fight that was playing out this far having to consider allowing them to battle it. This would be a lot of data to take in need for the creation plan to be a clone of the thing if made into complete perfection. Watching from the very beginning the group that appears from nowhere engaged in a fight with the elf in his interesting transformation. What makes the fight more amazing is to keep one's eyes removed from it as the elf goes into another transformation, one that becomes that of a dragon something that can’t easily be done unless they are one from the beginning. “I must take in everything, nothing is to be missed at all.” The masked stranger said alone with no other living being to hear standing there silent to see what is to come out in the next act of the fight.
