Chapter 84 Borrow the Valkyrie Statue?

Having not seen him for a few hundred years, he hoped this fellow really had made some progress, the Fantasy Heroic Spirit... To be honest, he was curious how this guy managed to awaken the "Fantasy" battle skill.He was even more curious about how this guy became a Heroic Spirit, becoming one was not an overly harsh requirement, but it definitely wasn't simple.

Anyone who could become a Heroic Spirit was a celebrated individual, their true name recorded in history books, their life stories compiled and passed on, and their tales chanted by bards singing of their exploits.

This guy before him, an oddity among Heroic Spirits, didn't know his own origin, didn't know his own true name, and claimed to be the Queen.

The Flame Queen, emerging from the blazing flames that burned the world's sins.

Typically, Heroic Spirits who didn't know their own true names or origins were believed to possess a divine destiny and could explode with power in battle.

Yet this fellow... the mascot among Heroic Spirits, bottom-ranked in combat strength, had no summoner who wished to invoke her.

Even when appearing on the Heroic Spirit battle array, she would be overlooked by Spirit Summoners.

When he first summoned a Heroic Spirit, he was stunned by her default background introduction.

"I am born of the flames, and I will carry these flames... to purify time... and burn away all the sins and evil of the world."

That powerful background introduction had excited him for a long time, making him feel like a favorite among the Heroic Spirits in the realm of Heroic Spirits as a newcomer.

After he chose her as his combat Heroic Spirit, the nightmare began...

Lance, save me!

The key issue was that ever since then, whenever he summoned a Heroic Spirit, this guy would consistently appear in his Heroic Spirit battle array, as if truly becoming his Guardian Heroic Spirit.

Fortunately, he had some combat power and didn't mind summoning an oddity among Heroic Spirits, but every time he saw her getting beaten and crying out "Lance, save me!", he felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Have you figured out your origin or true name?"

"No."

"Then do you remember how you became a Heroic Spirit?"

"Haven't I answered that question for you? I was born from the flames that burn sin and evil, born as a Heroic Spirit. As for the events of my life..." The Flame Queen Heroic Spirit pointed at her head: "Not a single impression here."

"Haven't you asked the other Heroic Spirits in the Valkyrie Temple if they know of any of your life's exploits?"

"I have asked. Friendly Heroic Spirits said they didn't know, and those who despise me for being weak don't deign to speak with me. As for those powerful Heroic Spirits... I dare not speak to them..."

"Go to the Martial God."

"How would I be worthy to meet the Martial God..."

"....."

An oddity among Heroic Spirits.

A Heroic Spirit with triple nulls.

No background, no true name, no memories of a previous life.

The Flame Queen turned around; she had just seen that Amethyst Young Dragon lying in the corner on the Heroic Spirit battle array. Had Lance not summoned her for hundreds of years because he turned into a Dragon Knight?

When Lance recently summoned a Heroic Spirit, he didn't summon her but a Heroic Spirit named Sophia. However, in the realm of Heroic Spirits... there didn't seem to be a Heroic Spirit named Sophia.

Normally, a Heroic Spirit whose true name is invoked by a Spirit Summoner, even if unwilling to respond to the summoner's call, will at least project a strand of Heroic Spirit's power into the battle array and then leave.

It's a way to inform the Spirit Summoner with their actions that they are not willing to be summoned.

The Heroic Spirit Lance wanted to summon was not in the realm of Heroic Spirits.

She had sensed the aura of Lance's Heroic Spirit battle array and thus appeared as a projection on the battle array, to see if it was Lance.

Turned out it really was Lance.

Somehow he is still alive.

After living for hundreds of years, where other Heroic Spirits and summoners changed one after another, this Spirit Summoner she fancied...

She reckoned he spent every day pondering how to replace her.

Just look... To replace her, he even started raising a Young Dragon...

If Lance really turned into a Dragon Knight, she feared she wouldn't last long before she disappeared from the realm of Heroic Spirits.

Come to think of it, in recent centuries, she would occasionally feel a panic, as if she might vanish from the realm of Heroic Spirits at any moment...

It probably had to do with Lance not summoning her for hundreds of years. When Lance used to summon her before, this feeling of panic, unease, and the threat of vanishing... simply didn't exist...

She hoped that Lance hadn't turned into a Dragon Knight but was simply looking after some Giant Dragon's nestlings...

"Lance... the Young Dragon you're raising... it doesn't bite, does it?"

"??"

The young dragon lying in the corner blinked her vertical pupils. This Queen Heroic Spirit was not impressive, being beaten by the evil dragon was one thing, but to also be terrified of her, a harmless fake young dragon.

Just by looking at her... You could tell she lacked wildness.

If she were to bite someone, what would the Evil Dragon do, give her a rabies vaccine?

Turtle had said that Er Gouzi would get rabies vaccinations every now and then...

The impoverished Evil Dragon resembled those crazy alchemists in the Human World...

Some of these mad alchemists even dared to modify people.

Crazy alchemists like them... either serve the empire or become the target of the empire's crackdown.

There was no third option.

"I don't bite."

"You can talk too... That's adorable."

"....."

Was it really so surprising that a young dragon could talk?

The Heroic Spirits summoned by the Evil Dragon didn't seem... very strong, she was even afraid of a young dragon like her.

During battle, why did it feel like it wasn't her protecting the Evil Dragon, but the Evil Dragon protecting her? Sёarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Normally, it's the Heroic Spirits who protect the summoners.

Well, except for those legendary mighty brave Heroic Spirits and Heroic Spirits who didn't need protection from the Evil Dragon, the rest... every single one of them... were the ones protected by the Evil Dragon.

The Heroic Spirits summoned by the Evil Dragon were both fortunate and unfortunate...

Lance walked to the study, gestured to Sophia's portrait hanging there, and brought the portrait in front of the Heroic Spirit Queen of Blazing Flames, "During your years at the Valkyrie Temple, have you ever come across a Heroic Spirit that resembles this girl?"

"I haven't seen her, she's probably not a Heroic Spirit. If she were, when you summoned her just now, at least some of the power of the Heroic Spirits would have been projected onto your summoning array. No projection means that there is no such Heroic Spirit in the realm of Heroic Spirits...

Lance... Are you finding me too weak? Let me tell you... I've genuinely become stronger in recent centuries, I even mastered a kind of flame, powerful enough to burn a hole through rock... but I can only use it after intervals...

It's just that, after using it once... I'll be very weak for a long time. Some friends among the Heroic Spirits advised me not to use that power... saying that it's bad for me if I use it too much...

But if you were in mortal danger, I would use this flame to protect you, even if it's bad for me... after all... you are the only one willing to summon me... the only summoner willing to protect me..."

Fearing Lance really did find her lacking, the Queen of Blazing Flames hurriedly told the Evil Dragon about her changes over the past few centuries.

"If you don't believe me, summon me during tomorrow's battle, I definitely won't disappoint you."

"Whether you are weak or strong, it's all the same to me, don't put so much pressure on yourself. Every time I've summoned a Heroic Spirit, you have responded, and I've never scorned you, have I?"

But why was the Heroic Spirit Queen of Blazing Flames feeling pressure?

He had never scorned this guy; being infuriated with their lack of competitiveness was true.

Phantasming a Heroic Spirit, such a unique combat skill, if thought through properly, would definitely make a battle last more than just a flashy three seconds.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Then tomorrow, I must show you a version of me that's completely different."

"Alright, alright, it's getting late, go back to the Valkyrie Temple, I'll summon you tomorrow."

"Yes." The Queen of Blazing Flames' figure began to transform into golden light, "By the way, Lance, you're not secretly becoming a Dragon Knight behind my back, are you?"

"Your imagination could stand to expand a bit more. What would be the fun in being a Dragon Knight? There are more interesting things to do than that."

"As long as you're not becoming a Dragon Knight."

Content, the Queen of Blazing Flames happily returned to the Valkyrie Temple.

Lance turned back into the Black Dragon, hung Sophia's portrait back in the study, then lay down in his resting spot, pondering the relationship between Sophia and the Valkyrie.

"If the beautiful Sister Sophia isn't a Heroic Spirit, then she must have gone to heaven, maybe she's already reincarnated into some wealthy family. Lance… how about… we just give up..."

"Give up? She still owes me 132 Gold Coins. If I hadn't seen the statue of the Valkyrie, then I might have let it go, but now that I have... it's fate... fate for Sophia to pay her debts."

"But aren't we unable to find Sophia? Do you have any connections on the heaven's side?"

"Solomon went to heaven. When he returns, we'll know whether Sophia is in heaven or reincarnated. If she hasn't gone to heaven... then... maybe we'll need to borrow the Valkyrie Statue from Lionheart City's Valkyrie Temple..."

Borrow, borrow... borrowing a Valkyrie Statue?
