My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 228: Aaronarra Receives An Apology

-----

Before leaving the Gods training relentlessly through a hellish grinding session for EXP and loot (which they will give to him mostly), Frank brought Aaronarra's consciousness into the Divine Realm at last.

The Elder Dragon was surprised when he heard that Frank just beat three of the Gods of this world like nothing… and decided to not see him as weaker than him anymore…

The Gods were rather impacted by the Elder Dragon and were reminded, once again, of the mistakes of their past.

"All of my family, all died because of these mortals you created! Why did you backstab our Dragon race?! We lived here before them, we took care of the world by ourselves, we grew and prospered! Why?! Why did you force them to slay us for resources?! Is that all we are now, the last… few of us… Is that all we are now for you?!" asked Aaronarra.

"…No, we committed a terrible mistake..." sighed Thineas.

"We are deeply sorry, my child. When our mortals emerged, we wanted to tell them that the Dragons were their friends and not monsters. But we were weakened, and we ended falling into a slumber…" said Abraddon.

"It was indeed our fault. The Dragons who are a prideful and strong race… To have died so miserably… It is completely our fault," sighed Zudithe.

"Now we are once more reminded of how much of a failure we truly are… Is life simply filled with our mistakes? Aaronarra. If you desire something from us, we will try to do whatever we can to help you… As long as it is within our power," said Judith.

"Hahh… I don't think there is anything you can do, seeing how Frank just beat the crap out of you! And it is not like you can turn back time and amend to all your mistakes, right?" asked Aaronarra.

"Sadly, even as a Goddess of Time, I don't have enough energy to do such a thing as reverse time…" said Judith.

"See? There is not even a point anymore I guess! I might as well join Frank on his journey and save this world while seeking the rest of my kin… Sigh… At the very least bless me or something…" said Aaronarra, he had given up on even getting much compensation or something, the life of his loved ones could not be brought back to life.

In the end, he managed to still get some of his rages out and tell these Gods how much he despised them.

But after seeing them being so pathetic, most of the rage slowly dissipated, and he had resolved himself to help out Frank.

The Gods nodded as they decided to give their divine protection to the Dragon and Frank as well, afterwards, Aaronarra decided to leave before Frank did.

"Well, I will get going, however, my soul will remain in here through that soul fragment I left, so it could be said that I will never leave realistically. Nonetheless, all of you better behave and work diligently…" said Frank, he seemed tired and wanted to go sleep at the side of Gwendolyn.

"Very well, Frank, leave it to us…" said Thineas with a gentle smile, she was the only Goddess within these four that he still found decent.

"Ah, Frank, do you want to come to my Divine Realm?" asked Axitl rather shyly.

"…Fine, but only for a bit," said Frank, as Axitl grabbed his shoulder and the two teleported back to her large castle, where Aztraloth flew towards them.

"My lady! How did it go?!" asked Aztraloth.

"Everything is over… we beat the Gods with Frank!" said Axitl.

"I see! So you amended with them and apologized- eh? WHAT?!" asked Aztraloth.

"I beat them into submission until they had no choice but to obey me. Although Thineas seemed to agree with my decisions, so she was not beaten," said Frank nonchalantly.

"W-What? What kind of heresy is that?! Mortal fighting and winning against Gods?! What…?" asked Aztraloth.

"Well, we are busy now, so go away for a bit! I can explain you stuff later!" said Axitl, as she sent Aztraloth flying into outer space.

"Waaaaaaaait, my laadyyyyyyyy…!"

As Aztraloth flew into space and the castle repaired itself, Axitl glanced back at Frank.

"Now that… we are alone… I… I wanted to thank you…" said Axitl.

"I helped you out of personal interests, don't thank me," said Frank.

"Eh? Well… I still did a lot of terrible things to you yet you still revealed me the truth and all of that…" said Axitl.

"…I suppose. I saw in you someone similar to me… I was… a bit like you. Perhaps a lot, now that I think about it…" sighed Frank, while sitting over Axitl's bed.

"R-Really?" asked Axitl as she began to see Frank even more different now.

"Perhaps… Things were similar, my father went away, my mother stopped acting like an actual mother. It was a hellish life. However, I suppose we differentiate in that my grandmother was there to help me afterward… And at the end, I managed to get on good terms with my mother…" sighed Frank.

Recalling how she remembered that Frank's parents had died and that he was seeking a way to revive them, Axitl felt a slight pain inside of her heart…

"So I guess… we was both alone?" asked Axitl.

"It is nothing to be proud of…" said Frank.

Axitl slowly approached Frank as she extended her pale white hand towards his.

Frank felt a bit strange, as he felt her warm touch.

"I-I want to be your friend… Frank… Someone you can trust and… talk things out…" said Axitl.

"Friend? Even after I intimidated you and did all those things? I am still rather angry at you as well," said Frank.

"Well… Maybe you can reconsider when… you are not so angry… And even now, you are letting me touch your hand… I don't think you are as angered as you say…" said Axitl with a gentle smile.

"A friend… is this what you wanted with me? To have a friend?" asked Frank.

"I-I… well… Y-Yeah… Maybe if there could be the… possibility of something more later on… N-Not like I am forcing myself into you or anything, please don't misunderstand…" said Axitl while blushing.

Frank moved near Axitl as he raised her chin, glaring right into her eyes, both of their lips were incredibly close to each other…

"Is that so?" he asked, his charming bright eyes startling Axitl as she felt paralyzed.

"I-I…"

Axitl began to slowly move her lips while trying to muster something, as she felt Frank's warm breath near them… she began to grow redder and redder…

"I will consider it… As long as you prove to be willing to help me," said Frank, moving away from her just a few seconds before both of their lips could touch and kiss, leaving Axitl red like a tomato…

"For now I have friends and a family to take care of. Take care," said Frank, disappearing.

Axitl began to release tons of steam out of her ears, as she fell over her bed.

"Agh! Did he had to tease me like that?! W-What an idiot!" said Axitl, as she started to hit her bed and the cushion while covering herself with them.

Just by remembering that moment she could feel like she was about to explode!

It was truly very frustrating and embarrassing!

It seemed that Frank had grown to be quite the charming man and easily realized that Axitl wanted something more out of him than only plain and simple friendship.

"Grr! But… I will also join him! With my avatar!" said Axitl, as she quickly stood up and went to a different room, glancing at the glass capsule filled with black liquid, which had already lowered a lot like the body within it began to form and absorb it.

A slightly different version of her was resting there, with different hair color and more human-like features… although it could be considered to be a monster, as it was a lifeform born from miasma.

"In a few more days it should be done…" she said, with an expectant smile.

Meanwhile, Frank finally was brought back home…

"Hahh… That was… quite rough," he sighed, finally dropping his seriousness as he decided to quickly sleep at the side of Gwendolyn, hugging her.

Gwendolyn noticed Frank as she moved towards him and kept sleeping, both of them facing each other while being covered in the warm bedsheets and sharing warmth…

Despite having beaten Gods recently, Frank still felt that something as simple as this brought him more happiness than anything… just sleeping, and relaxing with the one he loved…
