Chapter 41- Preparation and Introduction

- Unknown Location - On The Same Night -

(PoV 3rd Person)

While Zagreus shared a moment of intimacy with his wife.

His enemies were not resting, and were planning their next move.

On an island covered in mist and snow, seemingly uninhabitable and empty, were several tents.

There were so many tents, the size of which could easily fit four people, there would be enough tents there to fit an army.

But in one particular tent, the biggest of all, inside it was a man.

The man was large, and wearing a black dragon skin coat as he sat in his chair, looking up at the ceiling and drinking his soothing herbal tea.

He was a tall(6'10) and well built(300 lb) man and his numerous scars that were mostly claw and bite marks, evidenced his past encounters with dragons, made him a very scary man.

A prosthesis was on the table in front of him, which he wore in place of his severed left arm.

His hair and beard were black, dark and opaque, both of which were arranged in thick dreadlocks with some golden rings.

His outfit consists of a sleeveless shirt, a thick belt, and a huge black cape made of dragon skin.  Attached to the belt, he wears a loincloth, blue pants, and boots covered with fur.

At this moment, from outside the tent, a serious voice interrupts the man from his deep thoughts.

"Chief, we finally found what you ordered us to!"

Upon hearing the soldier's words, the man grumbles, apparently dissatisfied with something.

He allows them into his tent, and soon the two soldiers enter with an exquisite wooden box.

Some words in what looked like Hindi were surrounding the box in golden letters.

The box itself gave off a mystical aura that Drago could feel when he saw it.

They put the box down and began to report under the penetrating gaze of the man who remained seated while drinking his tea.

The soldier, very nervous at the stare of his boss, anxiously replies.

"W-we finally found this Oil Lamp you ordered to be found urgently, we found ourselves in one of the merchant caravans! And as the lord had instructed, there were guards around the Lamp. But a surprise attack was enough for us to steal it!" The soldier finishes quickly, just wanting to escape the man's presence as quickly as possible.

The man nods slowly in response to the soldier's words, but still with an irritated expression on his face, with a hoarse and angry voice he finally says.

"You may withdraw now, and I hope this is the right Lamp this time. And I would like to remind you, no one fails Drago Bludvist twice! NO ONE!" The man, now identified as Drago Bludvist, says.

Causing the soldier to shiver in fear like a hollow bamboo on a rainy day, and he even seems to have peed himself a little due to the smell in the air, but it was hard to tell.

"Get out of here! And tell Shan Yun, to get the ships ready. We're leaving tomorrow!"

Drago orders, and quickly his soldiers of eastern descent leave.

(Appearance of the Soldiers.)

He approaches the box and opens it completely, inside it rested a beautiful Lamp on a purple pillow.

(Lamp Appearance)

Drago doesn't care one bit about the appearance of the Lamp, he grabs it and stares at the lamp in his hand with a look of madness and anticipation.

He slowly begins to rub the lamp while resting it on his chest, and soon, a blue smoke begins to rise from the tip of the lamp as it emitted a golden glow, a figure begins to take shape from the smoke.

And Drago, seeing this, begins to laugh maniacally, with laughter full of madness.

He shouts in elation and anticipation immediately afterwards.

"FINALLY, THE POWER, FINALLY WILL BE MINE!"

And as if responding to Drago's words, all the Dragons on the island begin to roar and growl, and the black clouds that covered the sky, begin to resound.

- Castle of the Kingdom of Arendelle - Dusk of the Next Day -

Zagreus had woken up early, and was very angry about it, to put together a defense strategy for the Kingdom.

All the main and important figures of the Kingdom and the Dragon Knights group were present.

Zagreus, as the General of the Knights, was the first to propose different strategies.

These were either denied, or accepted by the King, who knew more precisely the situation in the Kingdom itself.

In the end, it was discussed and approved to create shifts to keep 24-hour surveillance of the kingdom about everything that was coming and going.

It was also being arranged for some boats to remain at a good distance from the Kingdom, Zagreus gave them some long distance communication talismans so that they could warn if there were any signs of Drago.

Zagreus, now he had some free time. And since his wives decided to take the days off for themselves, the demigod began to walk aimlessly around the castle.

He passes through several corridors, and admires the well-crafted paintings and sculptures that are all around the place.

Until he reaches the training courtyard, where he hears some sounds of clashing swords and heavy breathing.

And as soon as he has a view of the courtyard, he sees the Crown Princess having a fierce duel with a woman of her own age.

The woman was a redhead with green eyes, her wine-colored hair was a beautiful contrast to her light green eyes.

She wore two short iron swords, and light leather armor, her hair was tied up in a bun so as not to obstruct her vision.

And Princess Elsa, wore a sword that Zagreus had never seen anyone use until now in this world, a foil.

Her silver hair was also tied up in a bun, and she wore long-sleeved leather armor.

The two were fighting evenly, but anyone looking closely would see that the redhead had the advantage over the Princess. Both in skill and speed.

And the battle would end now, with the redhead almost carrying out an attack on Elsa. But at the last moment, a frost manifests itself and forms a thin wall of ice that protects Elsa from the attack.

The Redhead widens her eyes upon seeing this and quickly backs away, a wry smile is on her face as she says.

"Princess Elsa, it looks like you have lost this battle! We had already agreed, no ice powers!" And at the end of her words, Elsa rolls her eyes with annoyance visible on her face and says.

"That's unfair! How can I not use my powers in a fight? That doesn't make any sense!" Elsa responds frustrated by the supposed 'loss', and as if expecting that kind of response from her, the redhead then says.

"I understand your frustration, Elsa! However this training is to improve your fencing, not your powers!" The Redhead finishes saying and only now seems to have noticed Zagreus' presence.

But before she starts to question who Zagreus is, Elsa quickly explains to her to avoid any misunderstanding.

And while Elsa was explaining the situation to the redhead, the demigod uses his favorite ability.

'Wise's Eye', his eyes glow slightly in a bluish hue and then a familiar blue screen appears that only Zagreus could see.

'Fuck, that girl is the General's daughter! And unbelievably has more talent than him?'

Zagreus can't help but show surprise on his face, but before he could ask the system, Elsa's voice interrupts him.

"Mr.Zagreus, this is General Josef's daughter, Sansa Tully. And my close friend!"

Elsa says with a polite smile as she introduced her friend to Zagreus, and he compresses her.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Tully!"

Sansa looks at Zagreus with admiration and respect, seeing someone so strong and handsome is a rarity for her.

And now that she is no longer irritated that he saw their training, that she was irritated that she thought he was a pervert, she smiles as she blushes mournfully as she responds to Zagreus' greeting.

"The pleasure is all mine! And please call me Sansa. I'm not used to being called that." Sansa says with a shy smile, apparently yet another woman had fallen by the overwhelming charm of our protagonist.

"Your wish is my command, Sansa!" The demigod answers her, and after a quick perusal, he asks.

"Sansa, if I may! May I make you a request?" Zagreus asks calmly, but his anticipation was visible.

Sansa blinks rapidly in surprise but soon replies with a sincere smile.

"But of course! As long as it is within my power, I will certainly do it!"

Zagreus smiles and then makes his request.

"I saw some of the match you had with Princess Elsa..." The demigod said but was quickly interrupted by Elsa who said with a blank face.

"You can call me Elsa, Zagreus!" Elsa says with an inexpressive face, but to Zagreus who had the System, she was like an open book.

[Anticipation, Anxiety, Jealous]

Zagreus laughs internally as he continues what he was talking about.

"... Elsa, and I can see that you have a high level of fencing! I was wondering if you wouldn't mind having a match with me? So that we can compare our levels, I promise to use only my fencing techniques!" Zagreus adds at the end, since using his special powers and superior strength would take away from the purpose of training his fencing.

Sansa who was going to complain about just that, since it was well known to those who knew of Zagreus' exploits that he held ridiculous strength, but upon hearing that he would limit his strength to compare only fencing. She smiled at the challenge and nodded in confirmation.

Zagreus, looking at the familiar smile on Sansa's face, smiled wryly.

Apparently the demigod was a magnet for women addicted to battle.

Sansa removes her short swords and positions herself in battle position in her own house style.

She sees Zagreus still in the same place without his sword and asks confused.

"Why aren't you with your sword? Do you need to warm up or ..." Sansa stops talking as she witnesses a sword that was resting on the wall of the courtyard begin to fly toward Zagreus' hand.

And he pulls out a Talisman that he customized at the same instant, he had already asked the System about how much he would have to seal of his physical strength to be at Sansa's level.

He sealed 89% of his physical strength to balance the fight. The two women, were in shock and confusion at the sight of Zagreus' actions.

A smile formed on the demigod's face as he sampled himself to two beautiful women.

His Cheat, [Metahuman Physiology - Bang Baby], a power he used at various times in subtle and sometimes not so subtle ways.

Zagreus tightens the grip of his sword and positions himself in a sword style fused with my Martial Arts.

"I'm ready!"
