s.h.i.+yu was observing her surroundings and no matter how many time she look, it always seems like it was an illusion, a beautiful dream where her race that once had to survive every day in danger and famine was living happily and improving their power day by day, reaching a level where they could move freely in the world, not afraid of being slaughter for fun. A place where even those newborns were more powerful that the adult from her memories.Everyone that was of age, spend their entire day training, either practicing their spells, martial arts or increasing their power, and even though they worked to the point pa.s.s exhaustion, in the face of everyone was a smile and excitement. s.h.i.+yu understood the reason for their expression, they were weak and now they finally were given the chance to become strong enough to protect what they cherish.
Everybody has changed greatly from what she remembers, having a body that was the vivid description of the master that her race, was supposed to serve a long time ago, especially the man that was accompanying her.
Although he had changed greatly and the first time she saw him, she could not believe they were the same person, looking his eyes she realize it was the same weak but brave warrior that will burn his soul if it means protecting his race.
From the moment she awakens, she hasn"t left this place and they tell her that only the strongest ones were allowed to leave for safety. They inform her that this was an order from the one who brings her back to life and the Ancestor of the race she will soon become part of. Personally, she didn"t have a problem as been here with her partner and son was pure bliss and she didn"t need anything else.
Her days were relaxed, mostly occupied with a technique it was supposed to help her improve the power of her blood, but there were stressful moments, that was when her partner and son went hunting and didn"t reappear for several days, as the idea of losing them for the second time was fearful.
Luckily the always returned, unharmed and bring with them creatures that were once the source of nightmares for her race, but now were reduced to food. What make her curious at the beginning was the fact that it was not the ones that hunted that get most of the spoil, but those younger and that were in their infant stage, when she asked her partner, he told him it was the will of the Ancestor, and everyone understood that he was someone wise that wanted the best for the race so they all obey happily.
s.h.i.+yu has always been curious about the Ancestor, after all, it was a person that can bring the dead back to life and transform a cave full of weak kobolds in a land of humanoid dragons with amazing abilities and the talent to reach a level she believed it was impossible unless you were born a G.o.d. He had appeared once when she was alive, but since it was the first time it shows up, he was considered a treat and those too week to fight, like her, were hiding.
"What is going through your mind?."
s.h.i.+yu looks at the origin of the sound and saw an elegant draconic face of a four-meter tall man looking at her with warmth and gentleness, like if she was the most precious thing in the word for him, making her heart beat faster as she felt his love, creating a smile on her face.
" I was just thinking about how much our little tribe has grown and how this place looks like the paradise we could only dream of obtaining, yet now it is a reality."
"Everything is real, all of it is because we were given the chance of following the Ancestor, and he has transformed us into one of his people, a mighty race that can exceed the power of those who once were our master and have us as slaves. So we will accompany him to the abyss itself if it was necessary and extinguish his enemies, even if it means dying to achieve" Devotion could be seen in Rax face as he spoke, as if it was a creed he believed with all his soul.
s.h.i.+yu was already used to this type of reaction in Rax when they spoke about the Ancestor, and it wasn"t only in him, all the kobolds that have seen him have this same expression, and in reality, she is the same, for the person that gave her the opportunity of seeing her partner and son, and give her tribe power and safety, she was willing to give back the life she owns him.
"You should continue training, so you can be at the peak of rank 0 when you transform into a Neo-Demon and you bloodline became strong enough, so when you advance to Rank 1, if you are lucky, it can be a.s.similated into a Rank 4 directly and not having to split your time enhancing it," As Rax spoke he could not help but find it a little funny, as reaching Rank 1 or having a powerful bloodline would be something almost impossible a couple of years ago yet now it was common.
s.h.i.+yu nodded, Rax has already explained before the importance of the atavism technique and the fact that having a powerful bloodline from the beginning will be very helpful but also difficult, as the ones that achieve an a.s.similation with a Rank 4 bloodline were only his partner and son, and the rest have done it with a Rank 3, although the last ones could enhance it with time and resources, it was easier if she enhanced to that level before advancing and solidifying the Bloodline Heart.
The reason her son was able to have a Rank 4 bloodline was that from the beginning he was born stronger than the rest, as for her partner, he tall her that he went through special training with the Ancestor that allow him to reach this level.
s.h.i.+yu closes her eyes and continues her training as she did every day, improving her power and heritage, waiting for the time she will finally transform in the race that makes the dreams of everyone here a reality.
Rax smiles as he sees the woman focusing in his meditation, and when he was going to start with his, he suddenly looks in the direction of the entrance to the cave, before adopting a kneeing position, giving s.h.i.+yu a small pat in the shoulder to call her attention.
s.h.i.+yu opens her eyes, and despite the fact she could not feel anyone, she realizes the atmosphere changed as all the adults and children were kneeling as well, with only the infants making noises and looking with sparkling eyes at the entrance. She hurriedly knees and she saw a man cover in golden light entering the cave and remaining in the air, looking at every kobold with serious but also gentle eyes.

"Stand up. You are improving greatly, but remember, you are Neo-Demons, the mightiest and most unique species of the universe, do not let your current power cloud your judgment, continue working until you are forced to break your limits, only when you are able to bend fate itself and earn the t.i.tle of Doom Bringer, will earn the right to say that you are a champion of our race. But that is not the end, every single one of you has the capacity of achieving immortality, the only thing stopping you is your will. Tell me, will you follow me to eternity!"
"We will follow the Ancestor!!!"
Zatiel smiled as he saw the flame in the eyes of the kobolds, he knew that maybe no one will truly achieve eternal life, after all, even he could fall in the path, but having a goal was important and it was true that Neo-Demons can achieve eternity as long they continue increasing their powers and they don"t have any shackles that deliberated limits them.
The kobolds continue with their training as Zatiel fly in the direction of Rax, and saw the only one in this place that didn"t look like the textbook description of a dragonborn.
When Zatiel reached were Rax was, this last one immediate bows as he speaks "Greeting Ancestor, this is my partner s.h.i.+yu, she was able to awaken 6 months after you left."
s.h.i.+yu was nervous as the man that was the absolute leader from the tribe and that was able to manipulate death was less than three meters from her, but when she felt a hand on her shoulder and saw Rax looking at her she calms down a little. "s.h.i.+yu greets the Ancestor, I thank you for bringing me back from the dead."
"If you want to thank me, become strong enough so you can follow me to battle"
s.h.i.+yu looks back at Zatiel and nodded not giving any fancy words, making this last one smiles in satisfaction.
"Good, I take it that you are going to prove it with actions. As you should know the transformation will put great pressure over your will, tell me, do you think that you can withstand it, or you need more time."
"I am able to withstand it, Ancestor. Like you did with the rest, Rax help me by using his Primal Chaos Consciousness to train my mind and will, so I could be ready the moment you arrive," s.h.i.+yu expression was determined, ready to face what comes next.
"Excellent, I don"t have much time and don"t know when I will come back, so we will begin with the transformation immediately."
