Will of chaos

Not understanding how many bones I had broken, I took out two bottles of my storage item, a bottle that contains a powerful healing potion still in testing, and a bottle of Freya's blood.

I also use some healing skills and spells, so I'm able to recover within seconds of impact, of course being a Vampire is the main reason I recover so easily from something so serious.

Sigh

Being better I look at what hit me only to see Hinata hugging her arms and legs around me.

"(I think tests aren't working, she can't even stay away 30 minutes.)" (I)

For the last few days I have been working with Freya to make it easier for Hinata to stay away from me, the little girl is actually an adult now, she is using me as a pillar of support for her heart, and because of that, she spends every day clinging to me.

I've had her interact with other people and sometimes I ask to spend time with Freya, but each time ended with her running up to me and hugging me until she calmed down.

Sigh

"Come on, you can't be stuck with me all the time, you have to at least learn to hang around with other people." (I)

"But I get nervous when I'm away from you..." (Hinata)

"You know everyone is a friend, try to get along with everyone little by little, okay?" (I)

She just nodded in confirmation.

She has spent most of her life alone, whether in an empty room during experiments or in her mind when being controlled by others, loneliness scares her more than anything else.

I think it's good that she's not a Ghost, they aren't able to control her volatile emotions, with the power that Hinata has it could have been more dangerous.

After a few minutes she lets go of me and I can get up, everyone was waiting for me as I took care of calming Hinata, she still has no idea her new stats must be lower than when she was a fake Hero.

"Are you okay, Master?" (Alice)

"This time his body seemed to be bent over in an awkward position." (Sophia)

"..." (Henrique)

"Vampires' vitality and healing abilities are always remarkable, as expected of beings so devoted to life." (Yara)

"I'm fine, I just broke a few bones but they were still in place so it was easy to heal." (I)

Everyone looked worried, so they calm down while I make Hinata release me, she manages to stay standing next to me holding my clothes, I think she may be getting used to it little by little since she doesn't get hugged in my arm like before.

"Sorry, I lost control of my emotions..." (Hinata)

"Alright, now let's go back to the Dungeon, we still have a lot to do." (I)

I walk side by side with Hinata, all this time she still only shows emotions in her eyes or her actions, her face to this day still looks like a wall of ice that will never melt, I can't tell if this is because of the trauma that she lived through her life or due to being a Spectral-type Undead.

----------

When I got back to the Dungeon I went to talk to Vanessa about Yara and Henrique joining her here at the Dungeon Temple.

"You agreed to let these two Religions come together here, I don't see what the problem is." (Vanessa)

"I thought it would just be normal Priests to join here and be a help to you, I didn't imagine it would be High Priests." (I)

"Also clearly Henry was being kidnapped." (I)

"Don't worry about it, if no one from the Church of Death tried to stop it, then that's their wish too." (Vanessa)

"From what I've talked to the two of them during our time here, they seem to have known each other all their lives, I don't think High Priestess Yara is doing anything bad against him." (Vanessa)

"Tell me, how long will this temple be without statues of the Gods?" (I)

"The Temple has not yet been consecrated, until then no statue will be created." (Vanessa)

"What do you mean by consecrated or creating statues?" (I)

"The statues of the Gods are a construct of Holy and Divine energy." (Vanessa)

"Sacred energy comes from a high level Temple or Church representative, I meet the minimum requirements for this as a High Priestess." (Vanessa)

"Divine Energy can come from a Divine artifact of the God in question or from the God himself as proof of his blessing to the place to be worshipped." (Vanessa)

"What about the consecration you talked about earlier or why the statues haven't been created yet?" (I)

"Statues can only be created on consecrated ground, my wish is that the Dungeon itself be consecrated to bless all who live here, so I'm waiting for the right moment." (Vanessa)

"What time right?" (I)

Vanessa just laughs and doesn't say anything else, this girl is hiding something from me, but as much as she wants to know I don't think she's going to tell me.

After this conversation I go out to help Sophia in her summoning, as I promised, it will be easy for me to do that due to the skills I have.

Sophia was confident she would get the most suitable Familiar for her, I took Sophia out of the Dungeon because she told me the traits she wanted in her Familiar.

I've been studying about the summons for months alongside Rakan, one of the things I learned was that the environmental factor like the type of place and the prevailing energy in the place are factors that influence during a summon where the objective is not predetermined.

All I've done is create a familiar summoning circle and increase its effectiveness with my summoning skill, so Sophia sits in the middle of the summoning ritual circle.

Following what Ragnar and Rakan told her, she sat cross-legged while meditating keeping a clear image of the Familiar to what she desires, her mental image had to be faithful not only in appearance but also in the characteristics, personality, and presence of her target of an invocation.

During her meditation her Aura and Ki were being absorbed by the summoning ritual circle, after more than 40 minutes sweat was covering her whole body, but she remained steady until the moment the summoning ritual circle starts to rise through her entire body from Sophia.

Then it stops on top of her head as it expands when it reaches three times its original size a column of energy goes up to the sky and when it disappears a fierce beast was there.

I was amazed to see this fantasy creature, a lion's body, an eagle's head, and front claws along with great wings.

An intelligent, fierce creature whose commanding presence is always seen in many fantasy stories from my former world.

A Griffin.
