Chapter 783: Help My Sister?
I kept running through the forest while always following the path with the least blood smell, after 1 day of running without rest I arrive in a city where I enter using Diana's Adventurer identity is when I hide in its shadow.
Once inside, I buy tickets for a trip to another Kingdom known to be religiously neutral and non-discriminating.
Now he was in a rented house, lounging in a chair in front of the window, watching the people walking down the street.
"You have to talk to her sometime." (Freya)
Freya appears from somewhere holding a tray of coffee and a sandwich, I catch it thanking her as I listen to her advice.
"I don't know if I trust her." (I)
"We both know you trust her or you wouldn't have let her into the Dungeon." (Freya)
"..." (I)
"Nix already said she's telling the truth about her identity, so why do you avoid talking to her?" (Freya)
I look at my hand, it may look clean to others, but I know it's stained by the blood of people and monsters I've killed, but now the blood of innocent people from two cities is included in that blood.
"I don't trust myself to make a decision about anything right now, I need time before I hear whatever she has to say." (I)
"Are you still angry?" (Freya)
"Yes, that's why I'm afraid of exploding depending on what she says." (I)
"You don't look so angry to me." (Freya)
"That's because I'm trying to control myself, rationally I know it's pointless to be angry with someone much stronger than me, but no one controls emotions." (I)
"All I can do is put that anger in a box and leave it there until it's useful, but that's easier said than done." (I)
"Master, that wasn't your fault." (Freya)
Sigh
"Yes, it was, but it will be just one more thing I'll have to accept." (I)
"So what does she need help with?" (I)
"To be reborn, he died in a battle against an Heretic God." (Margareth)
"..." (I)
I pull out a bottle of the strongest drink Anton makes, then drink half the bottle before turning back to look at Margareth.
"Does she want me to use my Awakening power on her?" (I)
"Yes, it will be reborn much faster without having to wait centuries or thousands of years." (Margareth)
"She will become weaker, but this seems to make her more excited as she will be able to fight a lot harder." (Margareth)
"..." (I)
I drink even more from the bottle in my hand, then look back at Margareth.
"Please say you're kidding." (I)
"It's not a joke, it was actually your older sister's idea." (Margareth)
"Why would she tell them to come after me?" (I)
"Silvia was a World Tree, I needed the crystallized energy an Elf Queen gave me for that and I still needed help for that, Silvia is no longer a World Tree now and she wasn't even born." (I)
"Loki who was an Heretic God or just the Soul of an Heretic God, I had to use a divinity fragment to help him be reborn, but in these two cases there were specific situations where I had what was needed for the job." (I)
"But you want me to do this to a demigod?" (I)
"No need to worry about energy or assistance if we go to a Temple of Blood in a Holy Land." (Margareth)
"Both are children of the Goddess Selene, she will provide help, but for that, she will need to be in a suitable location." (Margareth)
I start to think and it makes sense, I am the son of the Goddess Selene and I am doing something to help my sister, the most logical thing would be for the Goddess to help us, but for that, it must be in a place that has a strong influence from her.
From what Margareth is saying a normal Temple of the Blood won't do, but where do I find a place like this?
I emptied the bottle in my hand, in these moments of stress, I realize that having resistance against poisons can be a little cruel to anyone who needs a drink.
