(Drake's POV)
I've been trying a variety of spell combinations to heal Erald's wings, but every ti I tried, it simply didn't work. His Curse was very strong, most likely conjured by soone at Rank 9 or above that.
I asked him ore about this Dark Scaled Dragon, and he said he didn't had any crimson scales or weird vampiric features, so it wasn't Sangre, but soone different.
The only option I can think about is cutting his wings and then helping him regrow them, but even that, it might not work properly.
Divine Dragons wounds are very severe, they cannot regenerate big wounds without spending many decades resting, even more if it is about lost limbs.
Its just that I am the weird one here, with my Immortal Body capable of regenerating such things very quickly. And well, my daughters inherited a part of this amazing self-regeneration too, to an extent.
It is much more complicated with Erald… Though, Benladra told sothing as we examined him.
"It's weird… Papa."
"What is it dear?"
"It feels like… The curse is tied with Erald's emotions too…"
"Emotions?"
"I dunno… But sothing like that, if he doesn't rise his self-esteem, I don't think he'll ever recover…"
"Huh? Is that even possible?"
System, can you identify the curse a bit more?
["Hmmm… Let try again…"]
[Analyzing…]
[Loading analyzed information…]
[Information acquired.]
[Curse Information: A Strange Curse conjured by soone carrying the power of a Primordial Sin. It works on mysterious ways, utilizing the Sin's powers. The weaker the mind of the carrier of this Curse is, the stronger it becos. It cannot be healed by any normal or divine magic.]
"A Sin?!" I wondered.
"Huh? W-What's wrong?" Erald asked.
"Erald, that giant dark dragon you et could had been a damn Demon King!" I was shocked.
"EEEEHH?!" Erald suddenly threw off the soup he was drinking. "I-I was attacked by a Demon King?! Wait, can Dragons be Demon Kings to begin with?!"
"Apparently…" I said. "My brother is one, then there's this guy, I'm also becoming sothing of a Demon King myself, though slowly compared to these two sociopaths."
"Y-You too?!" Erald was even more impressed.
"Erald, do you truly not know who I am? Have your family or your mother never told you a single thing about the young Dragon King at all?" I asked.
"N-No… Sorry, but are you really the King? Kind of weird that the King is weaker than other Dragons…" Erald was doubting .
This brat was really getting into my nerves sotis.
"Well, it doesn't matter, it just ans I can acquire all the Bloodlines of all Dragons, ultimate, I have the potential to beco the strongest, and lead our family to prosperity once more… I think." I said, munching on a big, boiled potato. "For now let's just finish our al and let's go to the village to watch what they're doing. I am interested in that Ancient Ruins place too."
"Is that Ancient Ruin where the thing you're looking for might be located?" Benladann asked. "The Divine Treasure?"
"Yeah, the System is detecting its presence all the way on its depths. Though it might be a bit hard to get there…" I sighed. "Nonetheless, Erald has given a few clues of what's going on in there."
"Sounds good, so we'll just steal that thing, huh?" Miranda smiled. "We'll need to be stealthy."
"It would be a good opportunity to investigate those ruins as well." Benladann pointed out. "I have a bad feeling about them, if that weird monster that Erald saw could have co from there… It might not be as simple."
"I know it is an urgent matter, but wouldn't it be better if we try to negotiate with the people first?" Wondered Larzak. "It would be better than blindly jumping to steal sothing… It just doesn't fit well with ."
"I have the feeling that the Divine Treasure has sothing to do with their settlent…" Kraxka said. "Erald, do you know anything about that?"
"I've heard they said the Ancient Ruins generate a barrier that doesn't let monsters get in…" Erald said. "But I don't know anything about… a Divine Treasure or whatever."
"How can you not know those things? Don't you have a Divine Realm yourself?" Yuki asked while raising an eyebrow.
"I-I have one but it was left back ho…" Erald sighed. "Our Divine Realms get instantly rged with mother's Divine Realm! Which at the sa protects our hos, and leaves them to my big brothers to handle."
"Maybe that's why he's Rank 9 while being so unexperienced." Ruby said. "He has been feed a lot of Divine Treasures inside his Divine Realm from his family, so he grew his Rank very quickly, but he has no idea how to even use his powers properly."
"Talk about golden spoon… More like platinum spoon!" Rakasha laughed.
"Ugh… Maybe that could be true…" Erald felt guilty himself. "Sigh… I think we should do w-what the two lizardn said… If we can negotiate or sothing… it could be for the b-best."
"Okay then, but you'll have to apologize to them for having eaten the food." Said Hector, crossing his arms.
"But I only ate a tiny bit, not half of it!" Erald cried.
"Yeah but you still ate so of it! Just admit all the fault for now, it will calm down their rage a bit, at the very least." Hector said, sipping so tea. "Anyways, about Surtr… It's already getting darker, why he hasn't returned yet?"
"Hmmm, I have been trying to talk to him through telepathy, but nothing yet." I said. "Looks like the Trial cuts all communication with the outside world. However, you don't have to worry, I can sense his life force as our connection between cousins, he's alright, and so is his group."
"Whatever Trial they're going through, I bet it must be sothing long and tedious…" Benladra said, as she ate a big atball. "Papa, this atball is nice! What is it?"
"Wyvern atball, from the Jungle Wyverns we hunted a while ago." I smiled.
"W-Wyvern?!" Erald panicked. "B-But aren't they dragons too?!"
"You think of Wyverns as dragons but you didn't believed us when we said we were?!" I facepald.
This kid, seriously, he's getting on my nerves.
I'm beginning to realize how nice and disciplined Surtr was in comparison to this golden spoon wind dragon!
