The Queen of Death Return
Kindness

Thas right. Master never explained why he made me his student.

Hela ventured to ask Ker about the reason he made her a student. Because an opportunity like this will not happen a second time.

"What do you mean, Master?"

Ker touched Hela's cheek gently. "Hela, I don't want my students to fall into the dark again,"

A pupil? Any other students besides me?

"My reason for making you my student is because you have the same tenacity as him" Ker continued.

Hela brushed off Ker's hand that was touching her cheek.

"Cannot be. I can't believe that's the only reason!" hela shouted in an annoyed tone.

Hela was very upset, even her hands were almost uncontrollable to hit Ker.

"However, he was lulled into a high position and ended up exiled,"

Hela just kept quiet to hear the words Ker.

"I just don't want you to drown in your revenge on the Devil. Please ... listen to your Master's request." Ker's face looked sad.

Hela lowered her head. He could not bear to see the sad face Ker showed him.

"Master cheated. How can I refuse your request with such a face?!"

Hela dropped her head on Ker's chest.

"Wait a few more years,"

"What is Master planning?"

Ker raised the head of Hela who was leaning against his chest.

"Waiting news. You also know that I can't go far away from the cave, right?"

Hela nodded.

There was something that was holding Ker back then. He could only get out within a radius of 5 kilometers from the cave. There was a barrier installed within that radius. That barrier that holds Ker's power from leaking out. Only Ker can't get past that barrier, doesn't apply to other creatures. Because of that, the power of Ker that spread within a radius of 5 kilometers was considered as the aura of death by the beings around the forest.

"There's a fellow master out there?"

"Yes. That's why I asked you to stay in the cave waiting for news from them,"

Them?

"Good, Master."

Hela was a little disappointed by Ker's answer about the reason for his appointment as his student.

Master must be hiding something from me.

"By the way, who's the enemy you meant before, Master?"

"You'll find out later."

Ker was about to leave the cave. Shortly after, Hela held Ker's hand.

"Master,"

"What's wrong?"

"What should I do now? You've taught me everything,"

"When did I say that?"

Hela was surprised by what Ker said.

"If that happens, you should have been able to compensate me by now" Ker continued.

Hela frowned. Again, Ker's words upset him.

"You're right, Master."

Seeing Ker's figure, sometimes Hela does not like the way Ker answers his questions. However, on the other hand, he has great respect and affection for Ker as his Master.

"Well, I taught you everything'." Ker emphasized his voice. "To fill your void, I have an interesting gift for you,"

Magic circles appeared below them. Something rose out of the magic circle.

The area around the cave was getting bigger.

Hela could only fall silent at what her Master was doing.

Widened cave? Is this really a natural cave?

Hela's attention was again fixed on the figure that came out of the magic circle. Something stood 15 meters tall, invisible to his physical form because of the red magic energy enveloping him.

Hela gulped, even her sweat became cold when she felt a considerable energy from something there.

"You know when you stay that way ... Phoenix," said Ker.

*bush!

Something expands from the right to the left. Hela was very fascinated by the extremely beautiful scenery before her. A pair of giant wings were burned by the colorful flames.

The figure was slowly apparent.

A bird?

A gigantic bird that was extremely beautiful, Hela had never seen such a bird.

"For so long, you have finally called me from the top of the sacred mountain, Ker" said the bird in a resounding voice.

Hela was puzzled as to why her Master had summoned such a powerful being.

Does Master want him to be my familiar?

"I don't remember ever calling you, you whining asked me to make you my familiar,"

Phoenix flapped its wings. "Antikaaaan! That's so embarrassing!"

The air pushed Hela up to the cave wall.

Even though I had held him back with all my might, the flapping of his wings could still push me.

"Forget that. Phoenix, I'd like to ask you a favor,"

"Ohoo .. Unexpectedly, the Goddess of Death asked others for help,"

Ker looked towards Hela. "That kid, he's my student,"

"Your students?!"

Phoenix stared intently at Hela.

Hela's body trembled due to the intimidation aura that the Phoenix emitted to her.

"Shut up!" Ker cut out the word Phoenix.

Phoenix looked down in fear from Ker's anger.

"Pardon me."

Hela was a little curious about the words Phoenix. He wanted to ask, but broke his intention after seeing his Master's anger.

Ker took his breath. "Phoenix, you've seen the child's magical characteristics, haven't you?"

Hela puffed her left cheek in annoyance as the two people in front of her kept calling her "son".

"I get. You really taught this kid everything. But, doesn't this matter?"

"No,"

"alright. So, what am I supposed to do?"

"Teach this kid to use your eternal fire magic."

Phoenix flapped his wings again. "Are you kidding me?! What kind of monster are you going to raise this time?!"

"Trust me this time, Phoenix."

Phoenix looked at Hela while thinking, making up her mind whether she accepted Hela or not.

Hela tried to stop her Master.

"M-master, I don't think that's necessary,"

Ker glanced at Hela with a sharp look. "It's necessary. The fire of immortality fits you perfectly. It is very difficult to find in this world. Being able to learn it directly from the majestic Phoenix would definitely make it even stronger,"

The Phoenix slightly glanced at the two people.

"But, Master ...."

"If the majestic Phoenix is unable to teach you, then I will look for another comparable-familiar"

"I'll teach him!" Phoenix cut Ker's words with a loud voice.

Phoenix felt that Ker was degrading her. Because of that, he had no other choice.

"My grandfather .. well, I'm handing this child under your guidance, Phoenix."

Hela had absolutely no idea what the two people were talking about.

The form of Ker slowly fades and disappears from the cave.

Now, only Hela and Phoenix remained in the cave. The atmosphere was so awkward for Hela.

"Hey, little boy,"

"Yes?"

"Don't make Ker sad. Enough of those bastards to hurt his heart, I don't want you involved." Phoenix spoke while directing an aura of intimidation at Hela.

"What do you mean?"

"Ker, she's a good woman, it's just that the people around her are taking advantage of that kindness,"

Hela pensively imagined her Master living in grief. His chest instantly tightened after imagining it, he knew full well what kind of sadness his Master was feeling. Because Hela was suffering from the loss of someone she loved.

"Ker trusts you so much, I understand a little why. But, I hope you don't disappoint him,"

"Good." Hela nodded her head.

Phoenix began to explain about the fire of immortality that he was going to teach Hela.

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

40 Years later.

A terrible battle was going on inside the cave. Hela and Phoenix are doing battle training. They fought each other over magic power, if without the protective cover that enveloped the cave, everything that was there would be destroyed, even the forest would be lost without a trace.

Hela has grown stronger. His strength was far superior among the creatures present in this world. However, until now Hela had not been allowed to get out of the cave.

Hela and Phoenix stopped to rest after doing the match practice.

"I don't think that now a child is growing rapidly" Phoenix said.

Phoenix was slightly surprised by Hela's development. Even Hela could compensate for the Phoenix using half her strength.

Hela is still very tired. He chose not to follow Phoenix's words. Because Phoenix often called him a child.

"Hela," call Phoenix.

"Yes?" Hela was a little surprised because the Phoenix rarely called her name.

"It looks like your master is coming."

Hela also sensed the presence of teleportation magic within the cave.

A magic circle appears, followed by the arrival of Ker.

"Master!" Hela immediately rushed to greet her Master.

Before Hela arrived, Ker quickly patted Hela on the forehead. Light appeared on Hela's forehead.

"M-master, what is this?"

"Now, you can come out, Hela." Ker smiled gently.

"Ker smile!" exciting Phoenix.

"Really?!" ask Hela enthusiastically.

"However, don't occasionally look for trouble with the Devils until I give you permission,"

No problem, my current goal is just to go out and meet my niece!

That was Hela's current goal.

"Good, Master!"

Hela instantly prepared to refine her appearance with change magic. Ker taught her how to change clothes only by magic. As long as he had Mana, any outfit could be made. If Mana runs out, then the clothes will disappear and automatically he will be naked.

"Master, I'll be right back!"

Hela teleported right at the entrance of the cave.

His gaze was straight ahead. The view of the forest that he had not seen for a long time made Hela more excited.

Liche ... I'll protect you!

Connect ....

DON'T FORGET LIKES AND COMMENTS, YES!
