Chapter 82 - Return part 3

I had retaken my seat back at the table, only this time with a dragon sleeping in my lap and laying her head on my chest. It seemed as if something in Velzard had gave out, like she had finally gotten that moment of closure.

"Simon was it? How in the hell did you tame the frost dragon!" Ramiris had her brain fried and wanted answers.

"Why don't you ask Guy, he should have figured it out by now?" I directed their attention towards Guy who was caught off guard, "C'mon Guy, I know you've made a couple conclusions. Why don't you voice them and I will tell you if you're right or not."

Guy looked at me, trying to analyze my intentions but realized there was nothing I gained from this, "Fine then. First, you are an otherworlder."

"That is correct."

"Secondly, you were my student. The reason why you're so strong is because of my teachings."

"Hey now, most of that were my own efforts, you just spent most of the time beating the crap out of me and called it training." It was only when everyone was staring that I realized that I had lost my composure, " Sorry, that was correct, keep on going."

"Oooookkkkk, well my third conclusion is that you didn't erase our memories out of malice. On the contrary, I believe you did it because you were afraid of something and wanted to spare us from it."

Upon hearing his words, everyone turned their heads to me and saw my downcast face, "That is… correct."

"Why did you do that?" Guy was curious about my motives.

" Like you said, I needed to spare you from something."

" Is that something you perhaps?"

" …It is. The last time we had fought, I had almost killed you despite how powerful you are. And that was before my awakening."

That was a very sudden bombshell I had just dropped. Me almost killing the strongest demon lord has shocked the room entirely although this shock felt more like deja vu to me.

" Simon would you mind telling me what this danger is?"

I contemplated his question, " I think it's better to show you."

————————————————

Everyone was currently following me through the palace, the demons were making way for us as much as possible. The demons were showing clear reverance for Guy, Misery, Rain… and me, 'It seems that they also feel the familiarity of my existence.'

This all came to a halt when I stopped Infront of a wall, a completely ordinary wall that is.

" Um, what the hell is this! We're Infront of a wal-" Ramiris's naturally loud voice stopped when I put my hand on the wall and it transformed into a large doorway.

I opened the doorway and walked inside, the others followed. The people took in the environment, seeing the interior of the room made it clear this was some sort of bedroom.

"How have we not seen this room before?"

"When I erased your memories, I also sealed this room off."

"Hahaha. Velzard can you believe this! Velzard?" Guy amused demeanor ended when he saw her attention on his pedestal.

Guy took a peak over her shoulder and saw what she was holding, it was a picture. The picture showed her and Simon side by side, she looked so happy in that picture.

"Are you ok?" Guy's rarely seen caring nature had shown through.

"I haven't been ok in a while. I don't know what to do next." They both looked to the side at the man who was talking out something from a draw.

When he stood up, he came out with a stack of documents and handed them to Guy, "This will tell you why."

Guy took the documents and began reading them. They seemed to be observations logs recorded by… him?

Guy read the logs apparently made by himself, the logs spoke observations of degradation of self, negative effects of ultimate skills and unconscious ego.

The overall conclusion of these logs was that Simon has something causing him to go on an uncontrollable rampage and Simon can't control it.

"So you erased our memories so that we wouldn't be caught by the backlash of your condition?" He asked to the man who had already tucked himself into bed.

"Basically."

Getting confirmation, Guy turned his attention to the name of the person who was making these documents, he had worked under someone in this research, "Simon, who's Nyx?"

Everyone's attention turned towards me, probably expecting a scandal involving Velzard, "ooohh. Do you have someone on the side?" Ramiris as always tried to coax trouble.

"Get your mind out of the gutters, Nyx is my daughter."

Velzard got excited, "Wait, does that mean-"

"No, I made her as a metallic doll, I never got you pregnant. And I doubt I ever could." I spoke the last part silently.

Suddenly Guy released his haki, seeing this everyone was surprised but me, Dino and Velzard could handle it fine and we all knew why he was doing it. He wanted to test me.

Seeing his challenge, I removed the restrictions on my body and released my haki too.

Guys haki had a red hue and could only be considered a raging storm that consumes all things around him.

Simon's on the other hand was the opposite. Simon's haki had a deep blue colour like the depth of the ocean, his haki seemed to contain images of a multitude of celestial objects within it, composed of the structures that crowd the cosmos.

On the surface, this haki gave off a very protective feeling but everyone in the room could feel the intensity presented by him. Guy could feel time dilate around me and the dilation range increased the longer everything was exposed.

Guy had deciphered the properties and behaviour of the haki already, 'It seems his haki is burning time around him.'

"You know Simon, I doubt you will give our memories willingly so I ask, what is your intention, what is the desire you will manifest with your power?" Guy began the questioning.

"Wait, is that really your question? All I want to do is create to my hearts content."

Both of our auras disappeared and he looked at me with surprise, " To create?"

"I like engineering stuff. You see Kevin over there, his technically an artificial lifeform formed from elemental light energy and then his physical body was made as a human with the frost dragon factor. That's just one of the things I've made."

Everyone in the room went silent, "I assume you also created the grayfog, aswell as the spirits who worship you?"

"Astute as always Guy."
