Will of chaos

Since that attack, we learned that an Aura would be able to ward off most monsters, so I asked Nicolas to create a magic item with the help of Rakan and Irina.

This magic item creates a barrier that combines with different Auras, this barrier is slightly stronger than the previous one while also serving to intimidate monsters weaker than the Lower Catastrophe Grade.

Thanks to that, monster attacks became less frequent, and the weather was a problem there, but at least it's not always storms like before.

But there were still days when the weather was fine, I was taking advantage of one of those good days to have a barbecue, I made a point of taking care of a barbecue.

It's been over a month since the attack, Nix and everyone else is fine, Layla already has a new body that needed five days where I stayed inside her Cradle of Fairies to absorb my mana to build her body.

The first thing she did when she had a body again was try to punch me, but her strength was too cold for that.

I also needed to stay awake for more than a week after fighting that Seria to stop my evolution until I reached the new continent, now I've already created a new temporary growth barrier.

I had time to talk to everyone a little bit, I also talked to Zila about the Siren I killed, that's how I found out I killed the Queen Zila had abandoned.

To my surprise Zila didn't seem to care much about the Mermaid Queen's death, she said she didn't agree with the things the Queen did, and that's why she and many others left their homes to flee the war while looking for a better place to live.

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

During the barbecue, we were eating the meat of the monsters hunted inside my Dungeon as it was the only kind of meat we had.

Everyone was uncomfortable to continue eating sea monsters and fruits for more than a month, everyone wanted to give their food a variety.

Now it was night and the barbecue wasn't over, Sakura increased the size of our ship's deck to accommodate the increasing level of people who came out of the Dungeon to party.

It got to the point where the size of the deck was twice the size of the ship, honestly, the only reason this ship is still floating is because of the magic, because there is no explanation for this thing to support the weight of that number of people inside.

"Today was beautiful, the food is delicious and I don't even want to mention the drink, I'm very happy with the flavor that Anton produced." (I)

"The food was really good, especially from the Elf named Caryna."

"Her food is really delicious." (I)

"But as I was saying, the day is amazing, the weather is good, there have been no monsters attacking since the morning and everyone managed to leave their respective trainings for a relaxing day." (I)

"All I wanted was to enjoy this barbecue, chat with some friends, and spend time with my family." (I)

"Looks like your plans are going well."

"Yes, they were going well until someone unknown sneaked into the party." (I)

"I'm sure that person was just hungry."

"Who are you? Why are you here?" (I)

Standing next to me picking things up from the grill to put on a large tray on a pile of food was a Dragon-headed man with long straight golden hair, he stands at 6 feet tall with golden eyes and two growing horns on the sides of the head, contouring the ears downwards.

I can't feel his Aura, his scent, hear his blood circulation, or his heartbeat.

If I wasn't looking at him or him answering me, I wouldn't even know he was here.

"I haven't eaten anything for two months, you're not going to deny food to someone hungry are you?"

"I wouldn't deny anyone food I think, let alone someone who could eat everyone on this ship." (I)

He looks around like he's at a buffet of treats, he could almost see a little drool coming out of his jaws before he shakes his head in denial.

"It would be tempting, you have some rare breeds around here and some I've never seen before."

"I imagine you must have devoured some people already being a Dragon." (I)

"Yes, some were enemies, but I also devoured innocent people, mistakes of youth before my mind developed enough to control my wild instincts."

"So what kind of Dragon are you?" (I)

"He is a True Dragon of Light." (Nix)

"True Dragon of Light..." (I)

I glare at him before heading back to the grill, then turn the meat over before adding some more sauce and letting it cook before grabbing another bottle of beer.

"Aren't you scared? Or angry like your Spirit that won't stop looking at me?"

"I feel like her gaze is going to rip a hole in me."

"Don't give me hope." (Nix)

"She doesn't like Light Dragons, I think you already know why." (I)

"Of course I know, knowing who she is that I'm here, the same goes for you."

"I guess it's no use sending you away, right?" (I)

"No, at least not while you're hungry."

"But don't worry, I'm not with the Church of Light, I'm Luminus, the True Dragon Emperor of Light, I'm second among the True Dragons of Light." (Luminus)

"Sorry if I'm not surprised, I don't have the context on this Dragon hierarchy thing." (I)

"That means he is at the top of the most powerful beings in this world, his power is enough to destroy a continent, I'm not talking about killing the people of a continent but destroying the continent until there is not even an island left in its place. " (Nix)

"..." (I)

Sigh

"I'm glad I dismissed the idea of ​​trying to poison your food." (I)

"It would have been useless, normal poisons don't affect me, but it would have been bad if it destroyed the taste of this food." (Luminus)

I was very calm since with such a high power level, I couldn't run away, fight, or do anything else, so even worrying becomes useless in this situation.

"Could you tell me why you're here?" (I)

"I already said, I'm not with the Church of Light, not all of us agree with them, but because we have powers coming from the Light element and we have a long history of cooperation, all other races started to move away from us." (Luminus)

"From what I hear, the Church of Light has gone a long way with the things they do and the Dragons of Light seem to have joined in with them." (I)

"But it's not completely true, many of us abandoned the Church of Light and our ancestral home because of this." (Luminus)

"We have tried many times to talk to other Dragon races or other races, but many of them won't even agree to have a meeting and even when they do, they don't trust us enough to believe our words." (Luminus)

"What does all this have to do with you stealing half the meat from this barbecue?" (I)

"He wants a mediator." (Nix)

"Yes, but not only you, but also your Hired Spirit, we need her to speak with her father." (Luminus)

"Do you want to talk to my Father?" (Nix)

"Yes, unfortunately, we can't get close to him, he hates everything to do with the Church of Light." (Luminus)

"Why would I do that? I don't trust you either." (Nix)

"Why would I be a mediator? Sounds like a lot of work and considering my luck, I'm going to end up creating a war." (I)

I didn't want any more responsibility beyond what I already had, being a mediator between two parties can be challenging, especially if there are deep grudges in the middle of it all.

"You haven't fully awakened as a True Dragon yet, but it shouldn't be long, a few decades at the most." (Luminus)

"You seem to have affinities with all the elements, plus you have blessings from gods Fairy Kings and Spirit Kings." (Luminus)

"It would be perfect to make you a mediator for us." (Luminus)

"Your Hired Spirit would also be able to give us an opportunity to converse with the Black Dragon, something that would be impossible any other way." (Luminus)

"The answer is still no." (I)

"I like you, denying my request so outright is something many others would be oblivious to for fear of even thinking about it." (Luminus)

"You wouldn't have much of a problem, being a mediator is very easy, you would just have to provide a place for the meeting, the security of the Meeting, and mediate while the two parties discuss." (Luminus)

He made it look easy, but being a mediator doesn't seem right for someone with my level of strength.

"I was lucky to find you, I was following a Church of Light army, I was curious when so many of them came to such a weak continent." (Luminus)

"They apparently hate you too much to send an army like that against you." (Luminus)

"An army came after me? Tell me more about it, please." (I)
