Chapter 775 Goddess of Destruction and Orphans

"I don't know about this..." Lala stared at Zul with a worried face. "As Lydia and Eris said, holy magic can't heal what's a part of her body. It doesn't recognize it as a disease."

"Is there nothing we can do besides cutting it off?" Arad looked at Zul.

"The draconic fundamentum is the source of a dragon's magic as it is as sensitive as their brain. Unless we cleanly cut all of that growth and heal it up, she could end up crippled in the best case." Lala looked at Arad. "I'm not an expert in dragons but I know a bit. A dragon's muscles need more than just nutrients to work, they require mana processed by the fundamentum, without that organ, she might never be able to fly again. She'll find it hard to even stand in her draconic form."

"Don't worry about me." Zul turned toward Arad, "I'll find a solution in a century or two. We dragons have all the time we want."

"I guess that's true."

"If your case doesn't get worse." Lala glared at her. "If anything felt off, call me. I'm a succubus so I should be still alive in the coming centuries."Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

"You succubi feed off the life of your victims. You'll be alive in a thousand years," Zul glared at her.

"Trying to throw shade on me? I'll let you know that won't work, we high priestess of Gracie are like monks. You might not believe me, but I'm still a pure maiden. Refraining from our carnal hunger is what her lordship rewards us with power for." Lala waved her hand with a grin. "I might tease people though." She turned toward Arad with a grin.

"I'll kill you!" Eris growled at her, hissing as she stood her and Arad. "He my husband."

"[Our husband...]" Doma and Merida corrected her.

"Hoho..." Lala stared at them. "Is a fight about to start? A catfight, I see." She started watching. "The duality of sun and vampire magic, the queen of curses, and the demonic blade, shall we call the spirit herald and artificer to join the fight?"

"They aren't fighting. I would love to see them get along." Arad said as he glared at Lala.

"Hoo! The destroyer Uranus is trying to quell the storm, how unexpected. Dragons usually love nothing more than watching their drakainas fight to prove their strength."

"All of you. Don't fight." Arad glared at the girls.

"We aren't going to fight. We're just horsing around." Eris sighed.

"[I too have no intention of harming them. I'm getting to be the closest to you after all,]" Doma giggled.

Merida stared at her sword with a disappointed face. "I wanted to fight them..."

"It wasn't wrong. You know that sister is a tiefling, but there is something about her you might not know." Jack looked at Lydia, "Didn't you wonder why not a single paladin or priest could detect her even with the demonic blood running through her veins?"

"Now that you mentioned it. Tiefling appears in holy barriers like the sun in the sky, how could she have been slipping through their hands all those years? As if the gods didn't want her to be captured."

"You're close. She's a priestess of Kali, the goddess of demons, and destruction, and guardian deity of orphans. You couldn't detect her because she's like you, a user of holy magic."

"Wait... I didn't sense any holy magic from her when we met. We would've known if someone was from the holy order or not."

"She rarely prayed or used holy magic. Kali doesn't particularly care if you do or not, what she wants is either the destruction of evil demons that taint her people's name or the protection of children. Sister always said, Kali would smite her if she wasted time praying instead of getting food for us." Jack giggled, "But she did heal us with holy magic when we got sick."

"No wonder we never got a sick kid from the slums... We even suspected that people from the church were healing your brothers in secret." She stared at him with a surprised face.

"You would've used us to capture sister. We would rather die sick than come to your church, luckily for us, sister could keep us alive."

"A goddess that requests no prayers. Only a noble creed to be followed." Lydia mumbled. "I doubt she has any statues or churches, does she?"

"Sister said that Kali is popular in the demon continent and in the abyss. She would depict her as a tall blue-skinned woman with red palms and feet, she has six arms, and three heads and only wears a skirt made of severed arms and a large necklace of heads." Jack smiled.

"That's a horrifying image for the protector of children." Lydia stared at him with a worried face.

"That's her destruction form. It's what those who harm children and the demon's reputation see before they are torn to shreds. She usually takes the form of an orphaned little girl with pink hair when dealing with children. Some even claim that she guided them to the slums when they lost their parents." Jack looked at the buildings. "When some new kids showed up in the slums, they always claimed that a cheerful pink-haired girl led them to us and then disappeared."

"Gods can't walk the mortal world. And I never heard of them sending visions like that. Are you sure it wasn't someone throwing the responsibility at your sister?" Lydia stopped walking and looked to the side, a large bakery was there with countless people lined up to buy bread and today's special, apple pie with honey cream and ginger. She quickly pulled Jack to wait with her.

"Sister's parents got killed by bandits when they were traveling toward the demon continent. And before the bandits could land a hand on her, the goddess appeared in her destruction form and burned them to the ground." Jack stared at Lydia, "I bet Kali is far more active than Amaterasu."

"The sun is her grace." She pointed at the sun. "She's better."

"Kali is better."

"No, Amaterasu is the best one."

The two started fighting inside the bakery, and they got kicked out.
