《Death Embraced》10. Light and Dark

Advertisement

It will be only a few days left until mom and mother give birth to my younger siblings. I spent most of my time training and making new swords, then i would help take care of my parents to give Terra and Necyra some time to rest themselves even though they probably don't need it but that didn't matter.

Hunter Sense Title's Blessing of the Void Monster God Blessing of the Demi Lich Novice Playboy Undead Lover Giant Killer I tried to just train my skills but after i saw that i could raise my stats without leveling up i kept training to see how much it would rise. After awhile of investigating my theory i found out that if i did train it would increasing my stats for a good bit but after some time of training it would be less affective to continue doing the same training. So to bypass those problems i would have to increase the intensity of my training making it even harder which would speedup the rate of my stats increasing. This was a long battle but i wouldn't let it stop me from getting stronger. And i realized that i would be hard to use a weapon like Eclipse in tight corridors such as caves and in doors in houses or other places that would limit me with it. I could always become strong enough to swing it anywhere and just cut through everything that lays in front of my sword but there would probably be alot of trouble if i got did that so I'll need a new sword for occasions such as those.

I thought hard on what sword would be best for that and decided to let my instincts help me make it instead.

As i activated the skill i let loose and let my instincts come out and help me. Emptying my mind the both my hands twitched causing my to create two handles on separate swords, the hilt had an guard which covered my fingers to protect them but also had miniature spikes which could be used to attack by bashing a foe with this i they got to close to swing at. The blade curved inward towards the guard curved back out once it got closer to the tip of the blade.

Twin Spartan

A pair of swords blessed by the King of the Spartans. The soul of the dead King of the Spartans blessed this sword seeing it as the chance of the the Spartans revival in the future.

Those who wields these swords have the potential to bring back the the most feared warriors of all time. To bring back the Spartans the owner must pass the dungeon that the Spartans once made there home.

This pair of swords increases the VIT and STR of the user and increase the chance of living through impossible odds.

Ω???

Rarity: Rare?

Do you wish to accept the quest of becoming the next Spartan King and create new army of true Spartans.

Rank S quest. Rewards: Become King of Spartans, Birth of new Spartans. ???.

Time limit: None

Yes

No

Shivers shot across my body and i couldn't help but smile. S rank was high but i knew nothing of who the Spartans were. Even without knowing who or what they were but i remember the words true warrior and feared this made me hit yes.

Quest Accepted: Trial of the Spartan King Part 1.

Learn where the Spartans once called their own home and more information about these great warriors that all died without reason to advance the quest.

Well i only have two pieces of information off the description. One is that they were true warriors that were feared and the other is that they built the home of the Spartans in a Dungeon.

And part 1? What does that mean is there more parts to this quest. There are alot of things i need to find out and i know the prefect person to ask about it and what those marks are in the description. But for now I'll need to practice with these so i will be able to fight using them properly.

I spent the next couple of hours swinging and slashing at the training dummy to get a feel for the new swords. Twin Spartan didn't fail to impress me, using two swords at once was hard to get used to. Even so i felt with each swing i was getting better at using them so it wasn't in vain.

When it was time for lunch i went inside to cook for everyone. But just when i was about to start cooking mom and mother both went into labor and was going to give birth. This had startled me i really thought it would be in a few days and not today. Most of the stuff was prepared but this was my first time helping during a birth.

I looked at Terra and she wasn't panicking and looked like she knew how to handle this situation. "Have you helped during a child birth before?"-Ragna. I asked her while she handled both of my parents at the same time with ease.

"Yes once when i was on a body guard mission from the guild for a pregnant Duchess who was traveling to the biggest Church in the kingdom to have her baby receive a blessing when it was born or something like that. When we had gotten there almost all the priests were gone because they were talking with the knights and soldiers who went to exterminate demonic beasts and monsters that were attacking towns near the capital. The only one left there was the Saint who stayed to keep up the barrier over the capital to keep anything from attacking the citizens. She helped as much as possible for her and gave me directions to help deliver the baby. The kid ended up getting a blessing from the Goddess of Life and we both ended up with a blessing too. Her's came from the Goddess of Light, mine came from the God of Chaos. After the birth we had to stay a bit for her to recover from the birth and that let us rest up before escorting them back to her mansion. The Saint wanted us to stay there to celebrate the child's birth and all of us receiving blessing. He saw that i was an Nephilim but didn't care about it and let me be instead of having me turned over to the Angels or any religious fanatics."-Terra

"Oh well at least you know how to this."-Ragna. This calmed me down and all the stress left me.

I didn't speak for entire time after that until both of the babies were safely delivered. A girl and boy were just born in front of me.

My baby sister was covered in small white scales that went down to her tail and pretty white wings that had feathers, also there was little stubs that were poking out her head so she might grow horns but

And my baby brother was also covered in black scales and just like the other baby with the tail and stubs on his head. But his wings were different from her. His had scales and had the bones stick out more.

"She will be named Luna"-Ovoss

"And he will be called Shade."-Azriel

Both of my new siblings layed quietly in the arms of mom and mother. We made sure to clean them up before they were being held.

And during this time i had forgotten about Necrya, i hadn't seen her all day. Knowing her she saw or felt the change in them and went back downstairs to keep herself away from the babies so that they didn't die from her passive life steal ability. Well i guess i can go check in on her after me and Terra finish up here. Plus i still have to cook some food for everyone.

Mom and mother both look kinda exhausted so I'll have to make something that helps with recovery but easy to eat for the since they are tired.

After a few minutes of being in the kitchen preparing the ingredients and pots Oroborus came into the kitchen.

"Caught prey. Strip off bad parts. Give me meat."-Oroborus

Oroborus is getting better at speaking but its still hard for him to get used to it. "Okay let's cut it up real quick and oh yeah I'm going to use some of the meat if it has a good recovery affect."-Ragna

"You hurt? Or them hurt?"-Oroborus. Was confused because i didn't look injured and started to wonder about everyone else.

"No it's just that mom and mother gave birth just a little bit ago and it was kinda rough on them and they both look exhausted from it."-Ragna

"Fine but little bit only. But you cook my meat."-Oroborus

"Sure thats fine but let's hurry up and get this finished so i can start cooking."-Ragna

I just thought about it i should have used identification on them they looked to be dragnoids but I'm not sure if they are. But it's nothing to worry about i can always do it later.

I reached where Oroborus left his prey in the training grounds and went over to it to dismantle it. And he had already drained all the blood from it's body into a hole nearby.

Flame Bear

Rank: C

A corpse of a flame bear that had wandered into territory after looking for a new home to mate. Was close to evolution.

A Flame Bear are a special type of monster that likes to wander around the world looking to challenge itself to become even stronger. And once every 10 years they will stop mate. They will stay in one place for a whole year leaving trails for others of the opposite sex of it's species or will fight another bear of a different species to mate and if the win they take the bear and make it submit to itself to give offsprings. But if they were to lose the Flame Bear would leave the area and train only to come back and challenge the one who beat it again. Once the cubs are born they will be protected for 3 years until the cubs are of age. And then once the 3 years are over they will all separate and go their own ways.

The materials of the Flame Bear are good for making equipment with fire resistance and for granting the weapons fire abilities. The meat has an affect that increases the strength of the one eating it and helps warm their bodies up to heal faster.

Not the affect i was looking for but this will do just as fine. I went stripped the Flame Bear apart keeping the useful and valuable stuff while getting rid of the rest. I checked the blood to and it seems to increase a person's sexual drive, this would sell good so i collected as much as i could with some buckets and a barrel that was laying around. Then i put all of it into my Inventory and went back to the kitchen with Oroborus following behind me closely.

I cut off small parts of the meat to put into a soup, just enough for everyone to eat and rubbed seasoning on the rest of it to get it ready to be cooked. The soup was pretty easy to make after throwing a couple of more ingredients into the pot with some wine and water. Because of how big the rest of the meat from the Flame Bear was i had to cut it into thick slices. I took the first slice and throw in into the pan with a little bit of wine to make it taste better. The rest of the meat slices would have to marinate in the wine for a while until i cooked this piece medium rare.

Cooking all the food took about an hour and once all of it was cooked i began to plate all of it and take it to the dinning room. The soup and bread went out first then it was the giant stack of meat that was held in a big wooden bowl. Thankfully the wood is made out magic wood so it wouldn't break easily.

Oroborus was already in the dinning room waiting for his food and when he saw me and smelt the meat his tail started to slapping across the floor behind him loudly. "Meat. Meat. Meat. Meat. My meat."-Oroborus

"Yeah i know it's yours so i hope you enjoy it."-Ragna

Everyone else except Necrya came in to eat just a few minutes after setting everything up. I'm guessing that they heard Oroborus's tail when he got his food. Mother and mom sat down with the newborn babies in there arms. They looked better than they did earlier so that's good.

Name: Luna

Race: Angelic Dragonoid

Age: Hour old

The new born daughter of the Bloodfall house. Born at the same time her brother was.

Name: Shade

Race: Demonic Dragonoid

Age: Hour old

The new born son of the Bloodfall house. Born at the same time as his sister.

"Mother what is a Dragonoid?"-Ragna

"A Dragonoid is the lowest rank of Dragon blood and once they evolve they will turn into a Half Dragon. Other species like Lizardmen came become one but it is 20 times harder for them to become one."-Oroborus

"But that's not completely true since they can evolve into different variants or special evolutions."-Azriel

"I know that but do you know how hard it is to receive something like that because the conditions are hard to do without knowing what they are to reach those. So must just go down the evolution normally selecting the main and only one there to evolve into."-Ovoss

"Not again. Don't worry when you work hard you can do it by pushing yourself past your limits in doing things. Skills and Titles have effects also on evolution so make sure not to forget to train them to bring up the Lv of them. And there are some other things you can do like clearing dungeons solo, within a certain time or one shotting a boss of the dungeon."-Terra

"So as long as someone tries hard enough they can evolve into something good or strong depending on the actions they take before then."-Ragna. I asked her and she nodded to me to confirm what i said to be true.

I finished eating before anyone else and took Necrya her food. She was a little sad that she couldn't see the babies so i described them to her. She perked up and ate her food and just when i was going to clean up and take her dishes upstairs she grabbed me and hugged onto me until she fell asleep.

Ding.

New passive skill

Life Steal Resistance. Lv 1

It's been a while since i had gotten a new skill so i was pretty happy but was stuck in Necrya's arms she was still a hell of a lot stronger than me so i couldn't get free. But she rolled over and loosened her grip which gave me the chance to Phase out of her arms.

And the days went by in blur. Days turned into months and a year and five months went by. I spent most of the time bringing up my skills and raising swords skills. But i didn't neglect my magic skills either.

The twins grow up really fast a hell of lot faster than i did. I hit 5ft 8. And they were already up to my waist. Shade liked my great sword Eclipse while Luna liked my Twin Spartan swords.

They would need real ones when they got older but for now they will have deal with the wooden swords to play with.

When i used Eclipse Shade would watch with great interest and try to mimick my movements. The same would happen with Luna when i used Twin Spartan, she would try to copy what i was doing. They were fast learners and picked up what i was doing fast and burnt it into their memories.

And i spared against mother while mom kept the two of them safe while watching. I knew i wouldn't last unless i used Dragonification so i used it from the start and both of them were excited and happy when they saw it. I think it's the Dragon blood in them that did that.

I used Eclipse first to see how much stronger i had become and i made good progress but couldn't even come close to mother's skill or strength with using a great sword. So i jumped into the air and threw Eclipse at her and pulled out Twin Spartan and blinked behind her and swung at her. She blocked Eclipse easily and swatted me away with her hand. I manged to block it with my left hand but it was broken by the pure strength of the hit. But because of that i showed the twins that even if you are hurt you can't drop your guard or you will die.

It will take a minute to heal so i will have to hold mother back until it's healed. I let myself be covered by fusing Fire Darkness and Lightning Magic creating black flames and electricity which increases my speed and power but burns through my mana faster than i usually do i can keep this up for 4 minutes straight before running out of mana.

I decided to do hit and run tactics so i can buy enough time. Mother saw what i was doing and pursued after me causing me to go on the defensive. Mother held her great sword with only her right hand and blocked my attacks that got past her sword with her claws.

Knowing that she was going to wack me with her hand again i timed in down to the last second and phased through her hit and cut her arm and all that happened was a tiny cut came from me hitting as hard as i could. I was annoyed that was all i could do but happy at the same time that i did it.

"You win because you manged to get me. "-Ovoss. Mother said this proudly to me.

Necrya was slowly able to approach Luna and Shade. The closest she can be is 10 feet away from them. Thankfully they have a stronger resistance than Amon and Mihr did so she was able to come see them earlier than with the rest of us.

I made basic swords that they could practice with after mother gives them her approval for using real swords.

They ran up to me after jumping off of mom towards me as fast as they could.

"What was that big brother you going buzz buzz and burning?"-Shade asked me curious about the magic i cover my body with.

"Yeah yeah how did you disappear ans reappear behind mother and even went through her?"-Luna

"That was fusion magic using all three elements of magic i am able to use. I don't have a name for it now but if i come up with one I'll be the first to tell you. Now when you are fighting you must not every let your guard down no matter what happens you must always be careful, and even if you are injured you must stay alive long enough to heal or be healed by your friends. Now Luna what i just did was just using my Chronomancer skills Blink and Phase. They are both important to use so if you every become a Chronomancer you must be careful because at low level the skills use alot of mana, but when you raise the skill levels it uses less mana increasing the efficiency of them. And Inventory is a skill that is another good part of Chronomancer class. This allows you to store anything you want in there but there is a weight limit for it and using it a lot raises the level so try hard in making it as big as possible just so you don't run out of space in it when you have to collect materials because then you will have to throw out the cheapest ones for more valuable ones to sell. "-Ragna

Luna was kinda confused of what i was saying but after processing it for a minute she understood what i was talking about." Keep valuable. Throw cheapest trash. Sell big. Don't run out of space."-Luna

And right when Shade was about to say something Oroborus appeared from the tree line carrying Grey Bull.

"He's back. He's back. He brought something big. Big big."-Luna and Shade. Completely forgotten about me at the sight of Oroborus's return. They both bolt to him even faster than when they ran to me.

Seeing that i was sad about it Necrya came over to me. "They are kids so it's completely normal for them to lose interest quickly and Oroborus is a Dragon so it's normal for them to do. Plus you have gotten stronger than you used to be. So don't be sad."-Necyra

As i listened to her words i felt better. So i picked myself up and went to the place where Oroborus put the corpse and started to dismantle it.

The kids rode on his back and he played around with them. Oroborus didn't like it when anyone except me touched him but he was fine with them doing it so he might see them as family and thats why he let's them play around with him.

Mom and mother just watched the kids playing from the bench and Terra was drinking so i didn't really matter what she was doing since it would probably just be her drinking for the rest of the day anyways. And Necrya was just watching everyone from the shadows of the trees smiling.

Amom and Mihr did come to visit once after Shad and Luna were born but i missed them because i was hunting with Oroborus for food. But they should be back in a month or somewhere around that time depending on if emergency happens at their guild then that may prolonged their stay and make it longer to return home.

But when they finally get here I'm going to tag along with them to explore the world and fight stronger foes. Because i want to become stronger and since the kids have grow up enough i won't need to help watch them anymore. And besides Oroborus is getting tired of fighting weaklings since he is the strongest in the forest and surrounding areas except for the four people we live with.

Before we leave i need to collect some more materials and stuff to sell since inventory can now carry up to 1000 pounds now so i should fill it up with materials and gear and then fill it up with food and other stuff we may need. I won't put my swords in it to save space so I'll carry them like i normally do. Eclipse on my back with Twin Spartan on my sides of my waist.

I'll have to get armor when i get to the city where the guild that my brother and sister are apart of so I'll have them take me to some good places there to have some custom made armor from a good armor smith.

Now i just need to tell everyone that me and Oroborus are finally ready to leave and set off and an adventures to become stronger. Everyone will be sad to see us go but happy I'm doing this for myself. I'm worried about Luna and Shade and how they will take this news. Well i will have to tell them sooner or later so i might as well tell them at dinner tonight.
