Chapter 444 Cap 443: A Single Race(Chapter Preview)

After a night's rest, my energy was completely recovered, but my body was aching everywhere, I also had some lingering weakness.

When I woke up I see many Fairies and Spirits sleeping in my room, I didn't even have a place to step on the floor.

"What is happening?" (I)

"Wait! Where's Orion?" (I)

As I close my eyes and focus on the connection I have with Orion, I feel his presence downstairs.

I open my eyes and use my magic to float to the door and leave without waking the Fairies and Spirits.

After that, I go to the bathroom to wash my face and change my clothes before heading to the room where Orion was talking to Ragnar.

"Good Morning." (I)

"Good morning Master." (Ragnar/Orion)

"Are you getting to know each other better?" (I)

"I was talking to Orion about the duties we have as his Guardians, master." (Ragnar)

"But it seems the Blood Goddess already gave him all the important information during his birth." (Ragnar)

"Yes, but I would be happy to learn anything I can to help the master better." (Orion)

"You two can get to know each other as much as you want, but why don't you do it during combat, I feel that the strength of the two is very similar, this will also help Ragnar adapt to his new body." (I)

"That would be nice, my body still feels a little strange to me." (Ragnar)

"For me who haven't had a physical body for thousands of years or should I say I've never had the opportunity to experience having a physical body before, this is a new experience for me." (Ragnar)

"There's so much information that my senses pass to my brain at the same time like the taste, aromas, touch, hearing, etc." (Ragnar)

"I can also feel the ambient temperature, I can feel the temperature of things I touch and their textures." (Ragnar)

"I can feel my heartbeat, I can also feel my blood and Ki coursing through my body." (Ragnar)

"There are so many new things that I'm feeling it's a little difficult to adapt." (Ragnar)

"In time you will get used to it, so it would be better to leave the training for tomorrow, try to get used to your senses for now." (I)

"But I'm surprised you have such good control of your Aura." (I)

"For a long time I didn't have any power other than my Aura, all things in existence have Aura, including a soul like me in the past, so I've had thousands of years to learn how to use my Aura." (Ragnar)

"I used my Aura to see, I used it as a weapon, I used it as a defense, and I used it to interact with everything around me." (Ragnar)

"For me, the Aura gives me information that these new senses I have now cannot." (Ragnar)

"Teach Orion a little about this too, he could learn more about Arua control from you, plus Sophia might also want to talk to you about it as she uses Aura for combat." (I)

"I can control the master's Aura, but I'm really not very good at using my own Aura." (Orion)

"It doesn't surprise me, I can feel thousands of different Auras in your Aura, from what you told me about how you were born, I can imagine that your Aura is not fully formed yet, what you have now are the Aura remnants of thousands of people that make up your body." (Ragnar)

"I never realized it." (I)

"Me either." (Orion)

"This is something difficult to see anyway, there are few who would notice something like this, I don't know how to help you, Orion, I'll have to think about it a little more." (Ragnar)

"Thanks, that's already a big help." (Orion)

"Come on you two, I'm sure you haven't eaten anything yet, right?" (I)

"Freya and Caryna are cooking, but they're waiting for Nolan and Alice to come back with some ingredients they ran out of." (Orion)

"If I'm not mistaken, Alice must be the youngest maid, right?" (Ragnar)

"Yes, why the question?" (I)

"She's been back for a while so I guess we can head to the kitchen, I'm looking forward to enjoying some food for the first time." (Ragnar)

After that we all go to the kitchen, I see Alice dragging a tray with three times its weight in food to the table with one hand, I also see Nolan doing the same, as I look at Caryna holding a kitchen knife in each hand cutting a piece of meat larger than her in fillets stacked in a matter of 3 seconds, I was impressed, the most impressive thing was realizing that all the meat fillets were the same size and thickness.

"(Maybe it's not such a bad option to let her learn to fight, with that level of divine prowess she could teach me how to wield a knife in combat.)" (I)

"Good morning master, good morning to you too Orion and Ragnar." (Alice)

"Good Morning." (I/Orion/Ragnar)

After everyone greets each other I go to the table and notice that everyone is coming to the kitchen to eat, when the smell of roasting meat starts to spread through the house, Ibuki and Diana run to the kitchen with drool dripping from their mouths.

We all enjoyed a great meal, the best part of the meal was seeing the way Ragnar was eating, it looked like the way Ibuki used to eat back in the day.

Ragnar had a giant steak in each hand trying to shove it into his mouth faster than he could chew, his eyes were crying even after he had eaten 30 steaks and couldn't even get out of his chair he was still trying to shove one more piece of food in the mouth.

He could barely breathe he was so full but went on to say he never thought eating was so amazing, he ate everything from the fruits on the table to the vegetables to the chips and meat.

But he kept saying that the best was the meat, after that meal he started looking with adoration at Freya and Caryna who were the cooks, he even said that this heavenly profession should be respected by everyone.

I think putting someone who has never eaten anything in his long existence to taste Freya and Caryna's top notch food might have been a mistake, maybe I should have started with street foods that have simpler flavors.

----------

Before leaving the house I call Kira, Sophia, and Freya to talk to them, I tell Sophia and Kira what I was going to do with Freya.

The two were surprised at first, but then they started to congratulate Freya, I told the three that I would need to drink the blood of the three since I wanted to use a High Elf bloodline to synthesize the three Races into one Race.

After drinking enough Blood from the three with their permission, I synthesize these three bloodlines into one.

The result was the [ Ancient Elf: 100% ] bloodline.

When I finished this lineage I felt a reaction in my Aura of Nature that started to emanate from my body growing nonstop causing branches and flowers to grow from all the Trees we were inside.

I only managed to get everything under control when the spirit of the World Tree appeared next to me and put his hand on my shoulder making my Aura calm down and go back inside my body, then the Elf Queen appears shortly after and waves her hand doing everything that was in chaos in the surroundings returned to normal.

"What happened here?" (Luthien)

"I felt a presence I shouldn't have in this world..." (Luth)

"I was doing a lineage synthesis, then this happened." (I)

The World Tree spirit looks at Freya, Sophia, and Kira before looking back at me, I felt like she was looking into me from the way her eyes sparkled.

"You synthesized the three Races of Elves!" (Luth)

"I can feel the presence of an Ancient Elf coming from you." (Luth)

"Ancient Elf!?" (Luthien)

At the words of the World Tree spirit, the Elf Queen looks at me in disbelief with wide eyes.

"Why did you do something like that?" (Luth)

"..." (I)

The spirit of the World Tree and the Elf Queen already knew my secrets, so there was no reason to hide what I was going to do with them, so I told them what I was going to do with Freya today.

The Elf Queen and the World Tree Spirit look at each other and start laughing, after a while the World Tree Spirit comes to talk to me.

"The Old Elves are very few in numbers, they are the ancestors of the current Elves, their lifespans are as long as Vampires like you, but their birth rates are much lower than Vampires." (Luth)

"Aside from natural reproduction, the only other way for an Ancient Elf to be born is through an evolution of an Elf who has achieved the trinity of nature, but even that doesn't mean it's guaranteed, the chances of getting it are only 10%." (Luth)

"The Old Elves are also called children of nature, they are a race loved by us World Trees, if you really can make this Race prosperous again, then please do." (Luth)
