Chapter 784 Reunion_2
"Are the things recorded in the diary true?"
someone asked.
Rashir nodded, "Reality is often more unbelievable than rumors."
They listened to Rashir's tales, occasionally exclaiming in amazement, but just then, accompanied by a long roar, a giant dragon swept over from the mist forest.
"A dragon!" everyone exclaimed.
"There's someone on top!"
"I know, it's Lady Sonia!" someone shouted loudly.
"It's said that the dragon has the combat power of the fifth tier, so what about Lady Sonia?"
"Truly powerful and beautiful!"
"Of course, it's because of Lady Sonia's presence that we can stand on equal footing with other transcendent forces!"
"Even ten years ago, it was unimaginable. After all, demon hunters have been at the bottom for too long."
Watching the giant dragon roar past, everyone remained dazed for a long time, and just then, the clear sky suddenly turned gloomy.
There was no change in temperature, but everyone felt a chill creeping in, followed by a wisp of black smoke drifting by, seemingly hiding a scent of blood.
"What's going on?" everyone looked puzzled.
"I know!"
"It must be Anna, known as the Queen of the Night! I've seen her portrait in the castle corridors!"
"Beautiful and elegant, almost fulfilling all the vampire fantasies, a giant dragon vampire, who'd have thought we could coexist peacefully with them in the same space."
"Who else is next?"
"Are all the dignitaries in the portraits in the corridor going to show up today?" the young demon hunter looked expectant.
And at this moment, in the guest room on the top floor of the castle, Roger changed his clothes and stood smiling in front of the door, as he expected to meet many people here next.
Seven years had passed since he last left, and in this short time, the whole world had undergone significant changes.
Transcendent invasion had become a norm, and demon hunters formally stepped onto the stage of history. Thanks to Sonia's assistance, this new force did not suffer suppression from other established transcendent forces.
Instead, they progressed rapidly, with branches spreading across the world.
Naturally, at this point, everyone could no longer stay in the castle to live peacefully and research diligently.
So, except for a limited few, the vast majority were dispatched to various parts of the world to take responsibility.
Yukiko and her grandfather Michihiro Morita, as metallurgists, naturally stayed here.
She forged during the day, watched dramas at night, and over time, she mixed with Uma. Seeing their meaningful glances, Roger truly wondered if they had any other common interests besides watching dramas.
After all, some dramas inevitably make people want to try a little.
"Are you a dragon knight now too?"
Roger looked at Sonia circling in the sky playfully, though he always felt this dragon looked familiar.
After all, it's not a small animal like a cat or dog; finding a live one and successfully capturing it is tremendously challenging.
Sonia landed in front of Roger, without any change compared to when they parted, but seemingly having resolved some matters, she appeared relaxed and brighter overall.
She stepped forward and hugged Roger.
"I knew you'd come back!"
At this time, the dragon in the sky was still circling, drawing the entire castle's attention. Sonia let out a short sound from her throat.
Moments later, the dragon finally ceased to circle, somewhat reluctantly transforming and descending from the sky.
"Is it you!?"
Even with the same appearance, the temperament was vastly different, so Roger recognized the dragon's identity at a glance.
Hillrenes rolled her eyes but said nothing.
Roger scanned their faces in surprise, fully aware of the grievances between Sonia and them, but seeing this peaceful coexistence...?
"All thanks to the books you provided." Sonia smiled.
"Remember Jora and her sisters?"
"Of course I remember!" Roger nodded, one person punished, two people endure.
Such things don't happen often.
"I used a similar method, just with more control; after all, she's my only family..."
"Please kill me, thank you." Hillrenes said coldly.
"That won't do, I'm not like you; I can't do something so cruel."
"No worries, I don't need you to do it; I can do it myself." Hillrenes looked like she had lost the will to live.
But Sonia said nothing, only stepping forward and leaning in on Roger, placing one hand on his shoulder.
"Remember my promise from before?" She glanced back at Hillrenes, "If you're willing, she can do it too."
"How dare you!" Hillrenes roared, but the next moment her body softened, then she took a step forward to lean on Roger.
Even with a face full of unwillingness, her body honestly made the gesture.
"Kill me, kill me!"
"No way, I need you to live well." Sonia replied.
Roger awkwardly laughed and casually pushed away Hillrenes.
"What, don't like it?"
"Don't be polite with me." Sonia showed a peculiar expression.
Seeing the two identical faces shake in front of him, to be honest...
Roger wasn't moved at all.
Because he knew that for a long time ahead, his schedule would be fully packed.
Spread too thin.
"No rush, no rush." He put on a serious face.
"We are friends, after all."
"I will come to find you." Sonia seemed to have understood something, smiled lightly and left.
"It seems that after this feast, I still need to try my best to separate everyone." Roger thought silently to himself.
But Hillrenes... once such a powerful enemy, now can be easily manipulated.
Just thinking about it feels a bit thrilling.
Calming his chaotic thoughts, at this moment someone else descended from the sky.
"Anna!"
Roger embraced the shadow without reservation, in his heart, Anna always held a very important position.
And for Anna, it was even more so.
The two of them gazed into each other's eyes, without any communication, yet there was a special connection between them.
"To be honest, compared to this castle in front of me, I prefer the little cemetery from the beginning."
"Also, the thing I promised you has finally been completed."
With that, Anna took off a pendant from her neck, its surface smooth like a miniature mirror.
"You need it more." Roger smiled.
"But this is my promise to you." Anna had a stubborn expression.
That's her nature, once she decides on something, she won't change.
"Alright then." Roger also knew Anna's character, didn't refuse and hung the pendant around her neck, simultaneously reaching out to grasp.
In the statue of Roger set up in front of the castle, the power of the Elder of Shadows was stripped away, then he integrated it into the necklace.
Roger took off the necklace again and placed it around Anna's neck.
"Now it's yours."
A flash of red went across his face, his origin power constantly rising.
"In the end, it's still you helping me."
"There's no you or me." Roger smiled.
Anna nodded, lightly touched the necklace on her neck.
In a haze, Roger saw a dense forest, with undulating hills and wooden cabins within the woods.
"You're always welcome to find me, I'll show you my Mirror World."
Anna seemed to be hinting at something.
Roger chuckled, "No problem, whatever it is, but before we start, we won't be burying a body first, will we?"
Upon hearing this, Anna revealed two sharp fangs, "Seems like a good suggestion indeed."
As soon as Anna left, Roger heard two familiar voices.
"Teacher!"
Looking up, he saw two figures of differing heights.
Higurashi Chika and Yuan Guanghai.
Compared to when they separated, the two's auras had changed considerably, but after a casual glance, he moved his gaze away.
It wasn't that he didn't care about his first two students, but because behind them there was an even more eye-catching presence.
Fiery red hair, a pale face, a pair of eyes glued to Roger.
Amanda.
But wait...
The child Amanda was holding...
What the heck?
Am I a dad now?
Or...!?
