Chapter 10: Time to go back home Princess

They camped in a cave near a river. After settling down, soon after Christ-Yne regained consciousness and then the notification appeared.

Congratulations to the host who managed to merge with the Dragon's legacy.'' Then another one appeared.

''Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a memory card.''

''Congratulations to the host. A new version is available. Do you want to update the software?

''Congratulations to the host, a gift has been sent to your storage for acquiring the dragon heart.''

After hearing all this notification, Christ-Yne is surprised. 

     '' Huh, Entity number one, can I update the system, I thought I needed more Credit to be able to do it.... '' 

'' My Emperor, because you have the Dragon Heart, you can update it. Do you want to update it? '' It will take one more day.''

Huh! one day, that long?''

After thinking about it, he updated it. 

       When he opened his eyes, he was stunned, because it was not the same place. ''Wait a minute, this is not the library!?, how am I in a cave, how? Who are these people? '' When he walked to the entrance of the cave, he heard Aurora and Carl blabbering guarding the cave. 

He asked in a confused voice

''Carl and Aurora? Why are you two here? 

Then Carl stood up to check. ''Oh my god, you woke up. Haha, I'm glad to see you, my friend. Come, come sit down you must be hungry all this time, take this. '' Then Carl gave him a grilled fish. 

''Why did you come straight out of the gate? How did you do it? '' Aurora asked warily.

Then she continued '' Are you perhaps a spy from the other from outside?"

''Yes yes, can you tell us? '' Carl asked in turn.

Christ-Yne was tongue-tied, don't know what to say '' What are you saying, do you think I am strong enough to open up a portal or something like that?'' ha ha''

''🤔 Hmm you are too suspicious, then why are those four people tailed us for more than two days and ambushed back? If not for Angelica we are already passed out at this time. She carried you and protected you even though she doesn't know who you are.''

She stood up and pointed her weapon at Christ-Yne '' You need to tell us right now who you are and for who you work. If not, you'll not be able to walk out of here alive.

Carl was alarmed because Aurora was dead serious. '' Baby, calm down, calm down,... Your weapon put my heart on lockdown (ugh, I think I've heard that song somewhere else Christ-Yne though).

Put your weapon away, we are friends here no need to fight.

''What happened to you? why did you pop out of that portal? it's your last chance to explain yourself. If not I will treat you as a spy'' Aurora spoke.

'' I... '' Christ-Yne was about to speak when a shadow emerged at the entrance of the cave.

''Who is there?'' Aurora shouted.

I am in charge of her safety, and bring her home.'' The shadows speak.

'' Oh, do you think I believe you because you say so? Let's attack together

'' Hoo? You don't believe me? If not the fact that you are her highness's friend. I've already slaughtered you all on the spot.'' He spoke with a icy cold tone and turn his gaze at the trio.

''You are seeking your death''.

As an assassin and protector of the princess, he attacks his opponent fast and swiftly. But here he is up against a kid.

''How annoying''. Then before Aurora and Carl Act. They sense something amiss because that person vanished and their vision blurred then they fell to the ground.

Aurora still doesn't believe his eyes. '' So, so fast. I can't move. She mumbled.

'' Me too.''Carl wailed.

In the blink of an eye, he returned to where he was standing.

'' So you guys believe me now? '' He watches them while smiling plastered on his face.

When they spoke. Christ-Yne asked the system.

'' Entity number one, what kind of technique was that he used a moment ago?''

''My Emperor, after I scan his movement.

He used ''Shadow Ghost step'', which was used to assassinate.

It is ranked in the top 10 strongest techniques, it is considered a divine technique.

''Oh, Can you copy it so I can learn it?.''

''In order for me to copy the entire technique, you need to see him deploy it fully. But right now, I can only copy fifty percent of his technique. Do you want me to proceed?.''

''Huh, wait a minute, then why can't I learn from that library back then?''

''That is because only a Divine technique is compatible for me.''

''Huh, wait a minute, then why can't I learn from library back then?

''It's because, only a divine technique is compatible for me.''

'' The heck with your Divinity, do you think I can stumble on divine technique like i stumble on cabbage?. His facial expression contorted '' OK, at least I can lean it. Proced with it.''

''It will take three minutes for me to assimilate it. But because the technique is incomplete it will only take one minute thirty seconds.

''Initializing...

You two can come with me too. The shadow spoke again.

'' Why do you want them to come with you?'' 😡 Christ-Yne spoke suddenly?

'' Oh? I tough you were mute, but in the end, you can talk. And here I think the fear has paralyzed you .'' Tsk Tsk, you can't even help your comrade.

Can't fight alongside them. Worthless.'' The shadow continued to taunt him.

Then he enters the cave and kneels before Angelica ''Saintess, forgive me for not being at your side at the right time. I ask for your forgiveness.

Let me carry you back home'' then he retrieves a cube-like artifact from his person. He brought Carl and Aurora next to her as well.''

Aurora asked suspiciously '' What are you trying to do? "

'' I'm taking her back home''

'' Why aren't you taking him with us too?'' they asked while looking at Christ-Yne.

''Do you think I am blind enough not to know who is responsible for all that mess?" He continued speaking within their head. ''That because he needs to be judged. Maybe he is a spy.''

''Ah?'' Both are immobilized on the spot when they hear the voice.

''You intend to kill him here?'' Carl asked worriedly

''No'' He responded

'' We will meet again soon.'' Time to go back home my Saintess''.

After he formed signs on his hand. All three of them were sucked into the box.

Note: Angelica is the Princess, she is also referred as the Saintess.
