BXBX NOVEL Chapter 151 - Dragonborn
"What do you mean it disappeared?"
"It\'s not my fault! I was bringing it back to the ship, and then Sophia suddenly yelled my name. I got scared, and the next instance, the trident disappeared from my hand." Emilia glared at Sophia and uttered, "It\'s all her fault!"
Emilia remembered the kiss and started wiping her lips violently.
Nero grabbed Emilia\'s hand and stopped her from wiping her lips: "Stop doing that. You have been doing that for an hour now. You will damage your juicy lips."
"What are you going to do about your trident?" Asteria asked hesitantly.
Nero waved his hand and uttered, "Don\'t worry about it. It didn\'t disappear anywhere."
Nero placed his hand on Emilia\'s chest and asserted, "It was just consumed by Emilia\'s body."
Nero pressed his hand on Emilia\'s chest and pulled out his trident from her body.
"Here it is."
Nero raised the trident as the lightning bolt fell on it, and later it was consumed by Nero.
"What was it doing inside my body?!" Emilia explained as she hugged herself.
"Trident is working fine, and there is nothing wrong with it," Nero asserted.
"Umm…" Asteria turned to Nero and asked, "What was it doing inside the ruins of the underwater temple?"
"I have absolutely no idea." Nero shrugged his shoulders and continued, "All my weapons were taken away from me after I was sealed. It can be anywhere in this world, in any realm, in any locality."
"Can you call them or like…" Asteria struggled to find the right word and said, "Can\'t you locate where your weapons are?"
"I wish I could. But technically, I can\'t even if I wanted to. Because these weapons are bound to my powers, not my soul nor body."
"And you currently don\'t have your power— the cores, so you can\'t locate them?" Asteria guessed.
"Yup." Nero kissed Asteria on the lips and said with a grin on her face: "I am glad there is someone smart in my harem."
"Heh!" Emilia smirked and remarked, "Your daddy is proud of you."
Nero inserted his finger inside Emilia\'s mouth to shut her up, and she started sucking it with a lovely face.
Asteria\'s face flushed as she muttered, "You said you were going to tell me something after you come back. Is it the right time to ask that?"
"Yeah. Let\'s talk about it while eating dinner, shall we?"
Nero jumped in the sea and came back a second later with a dozen fish in his hand. Then, he jumped again and brought about a dozen fishes of different types.
"The lower deck is a mess, and the kitchen is flooded," Sophia informed.
"We will eat here, in the upper deck under the beautiful starry sky and cold breeze of the sea."
Nero cracked his fingers and continued, "I will bring some wood from the nearby island to repair the ship. As for you girls, prepare the dinner— without fighting, if possible."
Nero flew to the nearby island and chopped some trees. There he stumbled upon some wild animals and thought of hunting them. But, he ended up turning them into ashes.
"Argh! I truly need to learn to hunt on land, too," he groaned.
He could easily run and catch them without attacking them, but the trees and rocks in between were hindering him.
However, he still managed to hunt some half-burnt animals.
After bringing everything to the ship, he flew to another island to look for some fruits and found the purple fruits they ate before on their way to the new capital from the old capital.
"What else can I do to make tonight\'s dinner extra special?" he wondered.
\'Emilia was right. Sophia has indeed been acting strangely for some reason.\'
"I will spend the night with her," he decided.
He chuckled and uttered, "They also found my weapon— trident."
"I want to give them something in return. What can I give them?" He pondered.
[How about you grant their one wish?] a familiar voice suggested.
SIGH!
Nero sighed and muttered, "Don\'t startle me like that, Nure."
[My deepest apologies. I sensed a substantial influx in your powers and cores, so I decided to check up on you. Is everything alright, master?]
"Yeah. I just fought with a god, and well… I did some things. I let my demonic powers let loose to confirm something. And it seems that I can get rid of this bracelet even if I cut my hand."
[Why do you want to get rid of it, master?]
Nero smiled wryly and answered, "As long as it\'s on my wrist, I will feel as if mama is watching me from somewhere. And I don\'t want that."
[Your mother has passed on, master. She is resting somewhere you can\'t reach or see.]
"Can you see her?" he asked.
After a brief silence, Nure voiced, [I don\'t want to answer that.]
Nero scoffed and shook his head before asking, "Do you know how to get rid of this thing?"
[I am afraid, I don\'t. I am just an entity that resides in the void— where there is no flow of time.]
"You should come out somewhere and spend some quality time with the girls. I am sure you will like them," Nero suggested.
[I wish I could.]
"...."
[Just as one can\'t survive the void for more than a minute, similarly, I can\'t survive anywhere else other than the void.]
"Damn laws of the Realms. I promise you, Nure, one day, I will find the one who created these laws and rules of the Realms and unleashed my never-ending wrath upon it," Nero promised himself and made a commitment with a serious look on his face.
[....] Nure let out a soft chuckle.
"What? I am not kidding. I am one hundred percent serious!" Nero repeated.
[I would wait for that day to come, and I hope you realize the truth one day.]
"What do you—"
[Master, about the girl you asked me to heal.]
"Has she been treated?!"
[I tried my best, but she still hasn\'t regained consciousness. But don\'t worry, there is nothing I can\'t do— especially if it\'s your order.]
"I am grateful."
[Master, did you ask me to help her on a whim, or were you aware of who she was?] Nure asked with a hint of curiosity in her voice.
"Of course, I was aware of who she is." After a brief pause, Nero asserted, "She is a Dragonborn— a Demigod."
