Chapter 25 – Wind Dragon Light Blue

-Wind Dragon’s Light Blue’s, who was living on a floating island, POV-

His lordship and the others who had gone to the forest have returned.

As far as I can see from the sky, none is injured.

That’s good.

I was worried because of everything that has happened recently.

His lordship said he was fine and had gone to the forest but something might happen.

His lordship’s barrier is powerful and it should be enough to prevent anything from happening.

Still, when I think of what might happen, I can’t help but worry.

I kept circling around my dwelling place.

I made my body smaller and approached his lordship but I felt something strange.

I feel two types of power in his lordship’s body, that’s weird.

How is that possible?

I’m pretty sure that one of the….2 types is the magical power I always felt from his lordship.

There’s no mistaking that vast amount of magical power.

I’m sure I’m right about that but….I can also feel another kind of power….

There’s no doubt about it!

It feels like divine power but something different.

I don’t feel any arrogance of a divine power.

It feels more calm and gentle.

I didn’t feel that kind of power from his lordship this morning.

I knew it! Something had happened in the forest!

I should have gone with him.

Is this the effect of his lordship’s new power?

His lordship looks a little tired.

However, it’s normal for him to get tired, right?

In addition to his enormous magical power, he now possesses a new power.

And that new power is considerably vast too.

I hope it won’t cause any problem to his lordship’s body.

I’ll discuss this to everyone later.

First of all, we have to welcome his lordship.

Ah, Karen beat me to it!

---Scene Change---

「Koa, Chai! What’s with his lordship’s new power?」

「….I don’t know.」

「Eh? Weren’t you with him in the forest! What were you doing?」

I asked Koa, Chai, and Boss-san, who were with his lordship, but they all shook their heads.

What do you mean?

Why don’t you know?

「Light Blue, calm down a little bit.」

「How can I calm down? There is an unknown, enormous amount of power in his lordship’s body!」

「I know where you’re coming but acting like that won’t solve anything.」

Hearing the earth dragon Flying Lizard’s words, I calmed myself down. Or at least I tried but I can’t!

I’m too worried about his lordship to calm down!

Hmp!

「First thing first, explain everything that happened.」

Koa nodded to Flying Lizard.

She told us that those idiots who stole and locked us had left their magic behind.

To stop them, his lordship had to create a new kind of power.

Surprisingly, the new power had undergone a transformation.

Divine power is a special kind of power.

Not only is it a power controlled by gods but it is unaffected by other kinds of power.

Even the purest and most concentrated magical power will be dispelled by it.

It is the power that protects the planets since it can’t be affected by anything else.

Considering that, it is not easy to create a power that can affect divine power.

But his lordship made it.

Does this mean….everything’s alright?

「Are you sure that it’s a power that can affect divine power?」

「Yeah, I witnessed it with my own eyes. It broke through the law of life. I also saw him healing those unfortunate souls who were wounded by divine power.」

I’m pretty sure that any power related to “life” is forbidden.

His lordship dabbled with that?

However, his lordship’s power broke it.

That’s simply amazing.

And he also healed wounded souls?

Wasn’t that something that only….gods could do?

And his lordship did that….he’s simply amazing.

As I was admiring his lordship, someone’s voice reached my ears.

「Is his lordship okay? He looks pretty tired.」

That’s what worries me!

When I saw his lordship earlier, he had a tired look on his face.

What if it was the effect of the power?

「I think it’s okay.」

Chai said that and everyone who accompanied his lordship earlier agreed.

How can you be so sure?

「Are you sure he’s okay? New power means changes, right?」

I’m worried.

It must be hard to create a new kind of power.

I can’t believe his lordship just transformed his power like that.

He should be affected by it too!

「I have to admit, before we return here, I was a little nervous.」

Boss-san was nervous after all.

That’s normal because it’s an unknown power.

It’s strange not to be anxious about how it affects someone.

However, only until you get back here?

What do you mean?

「The golems made by his lordship are all here. They are sensitive to his lordship’s changes. You haven’t seen any change in those golems, have you?」

Come to think of it, they’ve been tending the field like normal.

The golems inside his lordship’s abode didn’t even come outside to check on him.

They are exactly acting as usual.

「When his lordship was about to run out of magic power, the golems brought him a large number of monster cores. They were never used before that incident. If anything happens to his lordship, they will be the first to know. 」

I know what you mean.

We were so surprised by the huge amount of magic power his lordship lost that time that we couldn’t move but the golems already responded to it before we knew what’s happening. Once they confirmed the return of his lordship’s magical power, they returned the monster cores, and went back to the field and the house as if nothing had happened.

Yeah, since they’re not doing anything, there’s no problem.

I was relieved when I recalled how the golems acted.

「Koa-san, how was it to feel his lordship’s new power up close?」

The garm Ai asked her about her impression on his lordship’s new power. It immediately made the place quiet.

Everyone’s curious.

Since everyone confirmed that his lordship’s okay using the golems, everyone wants to know what kind of power it is.

「Let me think….the power before it changed felt a little weaker compared to divine power. However, after the change, it felt more powerful than divine power.」

「Are you telling us that the new power is stronger than divine power?」

「That’s my impression. How do you feel, Boss-san?」

「I have the same impression」

It seems like his lordship has created a truly amazing power.

Still…

「Interesting.」

「What do you mean, Light Blue?」

The fire dragon Fluff Ball, a divine beast like me, looked at me curiously.

I wonder why they haven’t noticed it yet.

「It’s a new strong power yet no one here is afraid.」

We are divine beasts but we don’t have that role on this planet.

Even so, if an unprecedented power is seen, everyone would naturally feel fearful and vigilant.

I think that’s the normal reaction.

However, thinking that it was his lordship who made it, no one was fearful nor vigilant.

「…..right.」

Everyone looked at each other, and laughed.

No one’s concern on how his lordship will use the power he created.

The only thing we were worried about was the strain on his lordship’s body.

If it were someone else, there would be a fuss.

「As long as the new power doesn’t cause his lordship pain, there’s no problem! I think.」

At first, I hated this world.

The air was stagnant and something was binding us somewhere.

However, after meeting his lordship, I came to love this world.

Because the magic power that flows in this world is the same gentle power of his lordship.

And I can use the same power as his lordship.

The power used by divine beasts is actually divine power but none of the dragons here can use divine power.

That’s because we were born on a planet that is not blessed.

I was a little shocked when I found out that even though I’m a divine beast, I couldn’t use divine power.

But now, I’m glad I didn’t.

If I had been that kind of divine beast, I might not have been able to stay on this planet.

It is said that if there are too many divine beasts in one place, there would be a problem.

When we heard that, we were all glad that we couldn’t use divine power.

God-sama was surprised though.

Yeah, let’s make my body smaller and sleep with his lordship tonight.

Last time I snuck in, the others were upset but I don’t care.

His lordship was surprised but he was not angry.

Alright, let’s do that.

While everyone is still talking, I’ll sneak to….bye bye.
