Omni-Mastery 219 A Hero

Since all these legendary monsters loved to leave their children to me, there was no helping it, in fact it was more helpful to me that way.

{As for your reward, first, since I managed to get a grasp of the annoying guy who caused so much pain to my son, I will help you destroy all these filthy gates scattered in the domain…}

'Oh!'

{The second and last reward, I can help you move on to the next domain you wish to go to, that is of course only if you want to leave… anyway, I will give you a month's time to think about if you want to change the 2nd reward.}

'So you are leaving now?'

{Yes, but don't worry, you will hear from me more than you think if you proceed on the same path, see ya.}

'Eh? Finally, for now at least…'

"Oiiiiii, 'Demon Hunter', I have been talking to you for a bit now,  what were you spacing out for?"

"I will explain everything later, mmm, Ellona, make sure to take care of the egg, as for now…"

'I need to find a bed.'

I immediately took off with my bed in the headquarters as the main destination…

`~~`~~`~~`

1 day later…

I literally slept for a full 24 hours to recover from my elemental exhaustion, I also took my time in sleep so that I wouldn't have to deal with any troublesome matters.

But as I myself had stuff to clarify, and I only less than a month before I would receive the help of Dragon Ancestor, I couldn't just stay in bed… at least not just yet.

"Isn't that…"

I could hear the members who saw me on my way to the head's room murmuring about who I was...

"Oh, hey there Zero"

Going through the wide open door of the head's room, it was easy to tell that he already managed to deal with the gate on his end.

"Hey."

"Yesterday was pretty charged wasn't it, haha. Anyway, since you seem to be in a hurry, you have an important appointment."

"Hmm?"

"The Emperor wants to talk to you directly."

'The hero title is good and all but seems useless…'

I took a look at the effect of the titles I gained after yesterday's battle as I was waiting at the guest room of the palace to be called by the Emperor...

"What is going on in your mind Ian, or do you prefer to be called 'Zero'. hahaha..."

'Oh…'

"Same can be said to your 'Majesty', or would you like me to call you uncle blue like I used to do before?"

"Hahaha… you really can't take a joke, can ya?"

"To be honest, though I did have some expectations, it's still a bit of a surprise…"

"So you know…?"

"Yes, no… not everything, but I know the outlines of what happened."

"Well, even I don't know that much, all I could do was act just like any good brother or uncle would do… take responsibility."

"Do you really hate the throne so much?!"

"It's too troublesome, in fact I still hate it to this point!"

"You are just too strange…"

"So why don't you take over and make it easy for me to live my last day? Hahaha…"

"What do you mean your last day…? You look as young as me! Besides, you should know that I can't stay here for too long…"

"I know... I know… here you go again, wasting my jokes…"

"Anyway, can I…"

"Alright, Alright, you can check the imperial library all you want, you have always been like that…"

'Oh?'

As my memory of this game's Ian was still incomplete, I felt quite good as I finally met my uncle, this time without any aliases or covers, he was the Emperor after all!

"Thank you! I will not hold out then!"

"Whatever, as long as you like it… just remember to spend sometime with your poor uncle before you leave…"

"I sure will!"

`~~`~~`~~`

I simply spent the rest of the week flipping through the books in the imperial library, spending time with my uncle, and finally guiding Eloona a bit about the dragon egg.

For some reason it felt that she was just too different from the rest, in fact she could be considered too quick witted as she was able to react to what I did too fast that it seemed unreal…

As for the fact that she was chosen by the Lightning-Wind dragon egg, it didn't even need me to think about it, after all, they were just too compatible, they had the exact same elements, not to mention the fact that they both excelled in weather manipulation!

I simply had to impart her the method left by the Dragon Ancestor to take care of the egg, using mental energy of course, and she seemed to easily understand everything without any trouble to mention…

Finally, as the end of the week drew close, it was time to make the finishing moves in preparation for what is coming…

`~~`~~`~~`

The small restoration works were being done all around the Lightning Capital, to restore the damages left by the dark dragon who attacked the capital out of nowhere…

Most of the Lightning Knight Brigade members were out in missions, and the Imperial Protection unit was barely able to save everybody from harm temporarily and the situation seemed bleak, but…

The hero of the Lightning Capital or so was called the new unit leader of the Lightning Knight Brigade, the savior who managed to cut down the dark dragon single handedly in one move!

This was the start of a new legend in the Lightning Capital!
