The Queen of Death Return
Seeking Strength

Hela dreamed of lying in the meadow. He looked at the night sky filled with stars. The scenery was so beautiful, Hela felt warmth in her body, the winds of the night turned warm.

A shooting star distracted Hela, she got up and sat on a small rock.

"Where am I?"

That was the first word that came out of his mouth.

The memories from the previous incident instantly hit his head.

"Aghhh!" Hela felt an incredible pain.

I ... am dead? Right, my stomach was stabbed. And ... The naura?

Hela's tears poured down when she remembered Naura.

"Naura!" Hela's shout sounded extremely pitiful, her heart breaking as she recalled the reality she had seen.

As the air that was previously warm, it now turned extremely cold. Cold air pierced Hela's body, but her desperation overcame the cold received.

"Naura ...."

It's all because I'm weak!

Hela kept cursing at herself.

While Hela was still drowning in grief, something came and touched Hela's bowed head.

Hela felt like her head was being caressed.

The hand?

When Hela was about to raise her head, she woke up.

Hela opened her eyes. He looked at the walls and sky made of stone.

"You're sober?" A heavy voice came from his left.

Hela looked at the source of the voice.

"...." - ".He can't open his mouth.

"Don't force yourself, your body is really very weak right now."

Hearing that, Hela immediately closed her eyes. He wanted to use healing magic on himself.

Failed it?!

Hela's magic doesn't work, it's all because Hela can only sense very thin magic energy. His sensitivity dropped dramatically.

"You've been in a critical condition for a month,"

A month?!

"For a month, I continued to channel my energy to you as a substitute for food. This was just the method the Beastmen were doing,"

Hela wanted to say thank you, but it was very difficult for her to speak. He just returned with a small smile.

"I don't know how much space you have, it feels like you can even absorb all the energy I have. I only give you a few percent per day, maybe that's what makes your body condition weak,"

No, just hearing you fight to save me is more than enough.

Hela could not express her gratitude to Joah. The things he received were too big and meaningful.

"Since you've come to your senses, you can eat now, your condition will slowly recover."

The atmosphere was suddenly silent, because Hela was unable to communicate.

In that silence, Hela remembered something.

"Hmmmmmmm!" He makes a loud sound when his mouth is closed.

Joah who heard that immediately panicked.

"What's up, little girl?!"

Hela's eyeballs moved like they were looking for something. Joah understood what Hela meant.

"You looking for a little baby?" Joah rushed towards somewhere inside the cave.

Hela's tears trickled when she saw what Joah was carrying. Not sadness, but great happiness.

Joah holds a small baby that looks healthy and strong.

"I take care of a little baby, as much a hassle, especially the food."

Joah brought the little baby closer to Hela.

A handsome black-haired baby was right next to him.

The facial lines that follow Legarde, the shape of the eyes that follow Naura.

Hela was touched again.

Naura, Legarde .. This kid really looks a lot like you guys. This time ... I .. will be melin---

Hela had not finished her words. He pondered for a moment.

No. gabe.

"Alright, little girl, I'll take care of you until your condition has completely recovered."

 ----------------------------

4 months later.

Hela sat on a small rock. He held a small baby while enjoying the atmosphere of the grass field. Blowing breeze makes the atmosphere more comfortable.

The incident of the Red Heart attack to the Tower Region was over, and was won by the Tower Region. No one benefits, the Tower Leader realizes that there are Devils who brainwash the rebels, including Coros who Hela and Joah fought before.

Back to the calm atmosphere in the grassland.

"Huhu ... Liche, you're sleepy, aren't you?"

The baby's name is Liche. Hela gave him a name when he could speak. It took more than 3 months for Hela to recover. That was because Hela lost a lot of magic energy, as it was known that Hela had a huge Mana storage space, far from normal humans.

Joah finished training and rushed towards Hela.

"Get, Liche,"

"Welcome, Mr. Joah."

Joah sat on the grass, he was next to Hela. The atmosphere was so awkward, they were only occasionally in this kind of situation.

Under the lushness of the trees, the sound of frictional leaves added to the silence. They both daydream.

Hela stroked Liche's head while thinking about her future plans.

I ... haven't been able to protect anyone with my current strength. No one can teach me about magic. I don't want to go back there.

Hela looked at Liche who had fallen asleep.

"...."

Tears dripped down Liche's forehead. Hela could not hold back her tears.

"Mr Joah." Hela was still downcast, her face covered by her white hair.

Joah had no idea what kind of expression Hela was showing right now.

"Sir Joah, you once said that you were from the east, right?"

"Certainly,"

"What is our goal is the eastern region?"

"Yes. I'm planning on taking you guys to my place."

Hearing that, Hela was confident in her decision. A decision that will make the world in turmoil in the future.

"Mr Joah, can I get stronger?"

Joah held her chin, then replied, "Can, but I can't guarantee you're safe."

Like there's something implied from Joah's answer.

"What do you mean, sir?"

Joah fell silent and thought of a way to explain what she knew.

I have to tell this little girl.

"Eheem .. There is one place that the past few years have been shrouded in powerful magic energy. All creatures that came to that place with ill intentions would definitely die a few days later. The Devils were avoiding the place very much, too,"

"Is there a powerful creature there?"

"I'm not sure, if there's a terrible creature, maybe it'll come out and kill everyone outside. I think the creature has some sense,"

"What does this have to do with me?"

"A lot of people tried to absorb the magic energy in that place, yet they all died,"

"You want to make me a guinea pig?!"

"I'm not forcing you, it's up to you, Hela."

Hela thought about Liche. This was his only chance to get stronger.

With a very confident face Hela decided her choice.

"I ... will go there."

 --------------------------------

1 week later.

On a sunny morning, Hela prepares to leave to head to the place Joah told her about.

They stopped in the middle of the forest.

Hela looked at Liche who was in Joah's arms with a sad look.

"Liche, I'll take you back later, for now, stay with Mr. Joah, don't bother with it."

Joah was a little touched by Hela's persistence.

This little girl, I wonder what she will become in the future.

Joah took Liche to the east. While Hela will go to the western region to go to the mysterious place.

"We'll be waiting for you, Hela."

Joah left Hela.

Hela turned around, her eyes filled with burning flames.

I ... will be strong!

That was how he thought, until the day that Hela regretted this decision.

DON'T FORGET LIKES AND COMMENTS, YES!
