Child of Destiny

Chapter 1543 Little Dragon Queen

......

Swoosh!

When Shin appeared in the Reaper's Realm, he was immediately greeted by a newly transformed world.

The sections of the realm that represented the elements of the Reaper's Retainers were still present, but their size and appearance became much larger compared to what they used to be.

The size of each territory was more than twice the original size that he had remembered.

This realm was becoming more and more of an independent world as the time more time passed.

It also seemed to be connected to his strength as the whole place was slowly transforming depending on power. The more he leveled and became more powerful, the greater this world became.

On the surface, the different sections of this realm were still somewhat the same as the original appearance aside from the drastic increase in their size.

He swept his gaze at the surroundings before pausing in front of a dense forest filled with tall trees and a variety of plants.

"Ah! This place must be..." Shin did not have to make a guess which territory this forest belonged to.

From what Solus had told him earlier, the baby green dragon must have hatched from its egg and successfully become an Elemental Dragon.

"Should we meet our little girl?" he mumbled as he flew toward the center of the forest where a tall altar was erected.

This altar was the one that the other Elemental Spirits had built when trying to hatch the green dragon egg. But since Shin was away for quite a while, he was unable to visit it, much less monitor the entire progress.

Fortunately, he was practically the owner of this realm, so his connection with all the beings who resided or would be residing in this place was no different from a master-servant or lord-and-subject relationship.

Swoosh!

Not long after, Shin found the location of the altar and descended on it.

The altar still possessed the traces left behind by the entire incubation process. The runes engraved on the floor of the altar remained intact, albeit losing their original luster.

As Shin was observing the place, he suddenly noticed 'something' in the distance. He knitted his brows and walked toward the center of the altar.

He then found a stone bed in the center where a little figure was sleeping soundly and comfortably.

It was a little toddler, but not of a human race. She had noticeable features that made it easy for others to realize her race.

She had a pair of little antlers sticking out of her forehead, slightly parting her cute bangs. She also had a green air that seemed to be neatly braided to resemble the vines of a tree.

There were also green scales on different parts of her body, particularly her forearms, her shoulders, around her neck, and her legs.

There was also the noticeable reptilian tail on the back of her waist, which wrapped around her as she curled into a ball while sleeping.

This little dragon girl was sucking her thumb as she slept on the stone bed.

"Fortunately, she is wearing a proper dress instead of leaves attached joint with one other, or else the cops will hunt me down," he mumbled while heaving a sigh of relief.

"Hmm?"

At this point, the little dragon girl seemed to have finally sensed his presence, slowly waking up. She drowsily opened her eyes to look at her surroundings while cutely rubbing her eyes.

But when her gaze landed on the figure standing beside her, her eyes suddenly turned wide and quickly pouched at Shin.

"Eh!?" Shin did not know what to do due to the sudden turn of events. The moments of this little girl were a little too fast that it became somewhat hard to avoid her.

Even someone like Shin would have a hard time reacting to her movements.

'She just hatched for a few days, right? A couple of weeks inside the game at most, doesn't she? How can her stats be this absurd already?' Shin could not help but doubt his initial thoughts before quickly realizing the reason.

This was the Reaper's Realm, which was also where the cores of his Elemental Spirits were located along with their Rebirthing Place.

In this realm, their stats and levels would be set at their maximum potential without having any kind of restraints.

Moreover, this little girl was still a dragon despite being a hatchling. Her strength was something he could not underestimate, especially in this place, where she could be at her most powerful state.

Fortunately, he could not feel any ill intent coming from the little dragon girl, which made Shin stay still and not avoid her.

System: Silvana has become your Reaper's Retainer!

System: Please set a code!

Shin paused for a moment as he thought of a good code for the little girl before shaking his head. "Green Reaper sounds lame. Let's settle with Nature Reaper for now."

*Ding*

System: Congratulations! A new Reaper's Retainer has been registered!

After that, Shin quickly pulled out a virtual screen and looked at the Reaper's Retainer panel to look at this little dragon girl's information.

-----------------

Spirit Name: Silvana

Status: Reaper's Retainer – Nature (Wood and Plants)

Race: Elemental Dragon Spirit

Bloodline: Green Dragon King

Purity: Dragon (Royal)

Transformation (Sealed): ???

Ability Status: Still in Growing (Hatchling)

Tier: Current 3 (Potential ???)

Level (Growth Pace): Adjusted to 180 (Max: Unknown)

-------------------

The corner of his mouth rose as he read through the information panel while comparing it with the rest. The stats were already very similar to the other fully grown Elemental Spirits, making him quite satisfied with it.

However, that was when compared to the sealed state of the others given that their full potential was currently held back by Shin's current strength.

Moreover, she was still at her growing pace, indicating that she would be much stronger in the future.

She would be more powerful than what she currently was, making her a full-grown dragon.

What made Shin quite interested in this information panel was the sections on 'Bloodline' and 'Purity'. "Dragon King Bloodline and Royal Dragon Purity? This is somewhat different from what I know about Elemental Spirits."

Hearing those words, Solus quickly explained. "Elemental Dragons and other ancient creatures have a different rank classification from Elemental Spirits, but they are somewhat similar in terms of strength and ability."

"Those from the Royal Bloodline have the potential to become a dragon king of their tribe. They are on a level comparable to the Elemental Monarchs, Supreme Elementals, and Spirit Kings," she added.

"I see," nodded Shin as he wondered. "What is the Bloodline Purity of Arthur's Dragons then?"

He then shook his head and mumbled. "Given that guy's character, I am pretty sure that they all have Royal Bloodline."

After that, he turned to Silvana before carefully removing her head from his lap and gently putting it on a makeshift pillow made from leaves.

"I will be leaving for now as I still have other matters that I need to attend to," he said to Solus as he looked at Silvana. "I'll leave her in your care for now."

Hearing those words, Solus immediately bowed. "You can rest assured, my liege! You can entrust her to me. I will make sure to teach her well."

The corner of Shin's mouth suddenly twitched when he heard those words as he cursed inside. 'I am already getting worried about it.'

'Should I ask Old Hanzo instead? Nah, that will be even more dangerous. The same goes goes for the others. They are more of a disaster.' After not finding anyone more suitable for the role, Shin left it as it was and forgot about it before sighing helplessly.

'Let's just hope that everything will be fine,' he was already regretting his decision, but he could not do anything about it.

He could shake his head with a bitter smile before taking out the token and activating it again.

Swoosh!

He could only leave it to the hands of 'gods.'
