Will of chaos

Even with all that going on, with the gate being torn to pieces before forming into this great ring that absorbed the black and blue flames of the ritual, I never stopped looking at Hela, that's because I was confirming that her situation stopped getting worse.

Almost all of her hair had already fallen out and the little that was left was gray like someone very old, her skin was smooth before, now it was full of old age wrinkles, and her body was thin to the point of seeing the shape of her bones in the skin, but even with all that, his life energy doesn't seem to have dropped below half.

When I finally turn my attention to the ring that had the interior filled with the black and blue flames it absorbed from the Ritual, I see a large claw with chains attached to the wrists coming out from inside the ring.

The claws that emerged are made only of bones and soon another giant claw also attached by chains appears, the two claws are attached to the edges of the large ring and finally a colossal skull head appears.

RRROOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!

The great skull attracts all the miasma and energy of death the moment it roars upwards while releasing a killing intent not less than what was felt a few minutes ago when I thought Hela was in danger.

With half of its body of bones sticking out I was able to realize that it was a Dragon Skeleton, I also recognized it as the Undead that Hela the scenes manages to summon temporarily.

This Skeleton Dragon had chains on its arms, neck, wings, and even attached to its spine, all of these chains continuing down through the portal it was exiting.

"< Take my blood and break free from the restraints. >" (Hela)

"< Absorb my Aura and become part of my power. >" (Hela)

"< Listen to my voice and obey! >" (Hela)

Hela's voice was charged with her Aura and traces of my Authority, but what surprised me was I felt a similar sense of Hell's presence that I felt before coming from her voice.

The Dragon spreads its wings breaking the chains before new chains appear trapping its wings again, the purple light that this creature had in the eyeholes became a flame or should I say a fire for its size.

Soon he absorbed the blood, power, and Aura of Hela before the chains broke freeing him, then the very gate he left through collapses causing the flames inside the ring to go towards the Dragon, but instead of running, he turned away plays in the flames.

I saw the flames not burn him, but rather being absorbed by his eyes as a Spectral Body formed from the flames around him, I also noticed that his form was becoming less bestial and achieving more humanoid traits like standing with his two hind legs while adjusting the body posture in the air for a straighter spine.

Perhaps his biggest change was his skull which was disproportionate with his body, his skull shrinks a little while all the bones in his body turned black, in the end, his Spectral Body was blue in color, his 3 pairs of wings were in black flames and blue.

I also saw some black chains still attached to his wrists, but it didn't seem to restrict him who was easily over 50 meters tall.

"What was that just now?" (I)

"He evolved by consuming the power that created this Gate of Hell, something Hela did on purpose, guiding him to do this." (Caitlyn)

"Where is that..." (I)

"He's gone, opening another passageway to Hell, he can come and go as he pleases." (Caitlyn)

I looked down and only Hela was standing shaking where the center of the ritual was, but now the ritual was no more, every magic circle or line forming the Ritual on the floor disappeared leaving only red dust behind.

I look at Hela and try to go to her who just looked up to where the Dragon is flying, I clearly noticed him still absorbing the miasma and energy of death in this city.

I wanted to go to Hela to see how she was doing, but Caitlyn stopped me once again, when she was about to complain I saw the Dragon covered in flames that decreased in size until leaving a human-sized Skeleton.

His body was humanoid with his bones being twice as thick as a normal person's and his legs having the bend of the knee backwards like a creature made to walk on 4 legs, his head there was that of a Dragon Skull now proportional to the rest of the body.

He who previously had no clothes was covered in flames once more leaving behind a purple robe torn at the edges.

He still had his wings of fire behind his back when he descended to where Hela was, then he bows lowering his head to Hela who lets her blood drip onto his skull making red patterns draw on his skull permanently.

"I live to serve, what is my master's name?"

"My name is Hela, you can call me by that name from now on." (Hela)

"His name will be Hellyos." (Hela)

"I exist to serve you my lady and I will make myself worthy of the name you bestowed upon me." (Hellyos)

Something was strange, his Aura was different, much calmer and less aggressive, he also seemed much more polite than I imagined at first.

"Why does he look different?" (I)

"Ask him." (Caitlyn)

Caitlyn points to Hela walking weakly towards us and Hellyos walking beside her following his walking pace, I approach the fangs, and I see Hellyos try to stop me appearing in front of me, but I step into the shadow of a tree on the way as if falling into a hole and comes out after Hela, I slit my wrist and put it in her mouth.

"I'm not going to do anything against my own daughter, I'm just looking out for her." (I)

"Then you don't have to do anything to me and you should stop too sister, he wouldn't be able to do anything anyway." (I)

"I think I'm going to have to teach that just politeness when talking is not enough, I should have known that someone from Hell would be easier to fall into aggression as a standard response." (Caitlyn)

"..." (Hellyos)

I didn't want to hit my daughter's Familiar, I already knew that I was stronger than him in his current form and even if he changes back to his Dragon form, it doesn't mean much since I can also increase my power by transforming.

In addition, I can clearly see what his elements are, I feel the energies of Curse, Darkness, and Death in his Aura, none of this scares me, in fact, it just proves that my advantage is even greater.

But I avoided combat by just going to Hela, so I used my blood to feed her before delivering a healing potion.

Meanwhile, Caitlyn was sitting on his shoulders, I don't know what she's doing but he's still.

After taking care of Hela I have her floating lying next to me while her Familiar follows us along with my sister floating on my other side.

I let Hela rest on a bed I pull out of item storage, then I sit down on the side of the bed.

"How are you feeling?" (I)

"I'm fine, master... Father." (Hela)

"I just need to rest." (Hela)

Hela raises her hand showing that the skin on her hand is already returning to normal.

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

When we get back to the city floor, I lead Hela straight to the mansion while I have her familiar follow me to the Temple Communal.

"Who are you? A Dragon? An Undead?" (I)

"I'm both, I was born in Hell from the corpse of a Black Dragon that was trapped there, and the first thing I did was devour that Dragon's Soul or what was left of his Soul." (Hellyos)

"Now after being released from the chains and having my full power released as well as receiving the power my mistress prepared for me, I have been reborn as a True Death Dragon." (Hellyos)

"I don't sense many emotions in your Aura." (I)

"I shouldn't have any, I shouldn't even have a mind." (Hellyos)

"The Contract I made with my mistress allowed me to suppress my instincts and finally have a mind, which is why I am able to take this form now." (Hellyos)

"You know, I have a lot of familiars, so I know you must be loyal to Hela, but that's not enough, I don't want someone to stand by her just because of this Family Contract." (I)

"I want to know if you'll protect her willingly, I want to know if you'll be there for her when she needs it, and I want to know how much she means to you." (I)

"Everything I am now she gave it to me, she was also the one who always brought me to the world of the living to fight alongside her, she is important to me." (Hellyos)

I look at him, but I don't know if he is telling the truth or not, his face has no expression and his Aura is too strange for me to understand.

"Let's go to High Priest Henrique, I need to know more about you and know if another of the Death Taboo Hunters is going to come after you." (I)
