His body trembled as his inside feel as if it were twisted into countless knots.
The change was not just in his inside but can also be felt and seen from the outside world.
Crimson flames flickered from some parts of his body.
His hair almost turned from white to red as some bits of flames can be seen burning from now and then.
Even the atmosphere around Hein instantly turned hot and heavy.
All the people beside him were greatly alarmed that they immediately stood up. His mother whose expression instantly turned from happiness to that of shock and then grim.
She instantly knew why his son changed like that. It must be because something bad happened!
Lina and Hell also thought the same thing as Leviana as their expression turned serious in an instant.
However, there is only one person who was not like that…
Knight Ashley Strom!
When she saw and felt the sudden change from Hein, she immediately stood up however her knees and legs were trembling…. either from fear or shock. She can only step back a few steps away while swallowing a mouthful of saliva…
On the other hand, Hein exhaled a deep breath and then summoned the [ Message Horn ] from his [ Spatial Ring ].
He never used it before because he believes that he might have a great use for it in the near future. But that future came so fast without warning.
After sending a few words in the [ World News ] message board, he closed it and began to think for his next step.
If not for his unique skills [ Gamers’ Heart and Mind ] that calming his anxiety and anger, he might have rushed towards there.
However because of this skill that forcefully calming him down, he can think of some problems he needed to solve first.
How can he go there as quickly as possible?
In the first place, he doesn’t know where Beven’s city is! In addition, where is this dungeon located?
What about his new appearance? Will he go there in a child’s form? What excuse can he give her? Obviously she isn’t alone in there, there must be a couple of players like her who were trapped!
‘First of all, she’s not the type to just asked someone to solve her problem so either she was in a really bad situation or it had to something to do about this super strong monsters she stated… then how strong are there?
Don’t tell me BOSS monsters? How many and its rank?
From the way she used super strong then I’m guessing it’s in the B rank and above… however my strength right now is greatly restricted because of the rebirth process…’
“ein!… Hein!” Drowned from his thoughts, Hein forget his surroundings.
He couldn’t hear his mother calling for him with anxious voice.
“Hein!”
Pachi!
“Eh? Ah! Mom!”
Slapped from both sides of his cheeks at the same time, Hein whose mind was submerged in the whirlpool of thoughts finally snapped from reality.
He immediately raised his head as his gaze stopped to his mother’s worried face.
It should be noted that currently, Hein’s real power were leaking as his skin were releasing a bit of flames every now and then.
His skin should be as hot as a frying pan however Leviana didn’t even winced even a bit at her burned palms as she stared at his son’s anxious face.
Seeing her mother’s worried expression, Hein finally returned to his senses.
“Are you okay?” Leviana worriedly asked him.
“Y, yeah…” feeling ashamed from his unsightly behavior, he hung his head down but when he noticed the smoke rising from her hands his body completely froze.
“Mom, your hands!” He shouted as he immediately grabbed both of her hands.
Hein noticed that she winced in pain for a second and then replaced it with a gentle look as she smiled and said,
“Its fine…. how about you, is there something wrong?”
Hein didn’t answer but stared at his surroundings.
Realization suddenly struck him down when he saw the scorched ground where he was currently standing.
Some grass turned to ashes especially the one’s under his shoes.
After looking around, he raised his hands and touched his cheeks.
With trembling voice, he asked “I, I’m the one that caused this…. am I?”
Seeing Hein’s pale complexion, Leviana only smiled and answered,
“It’s alright. You didn’t do this intentionally, it’s just because you’re power is a little bit too strong so it was leaking a bit. It’s not your fault.”
“B, but I still…..”
“Enough… my son is not at fault. In the first place, this can be healed by magic so nothing to worry about”
While saying so, her hands glowed as it was covered in a dazzling light.
After a few seconds the light completely disappeared, revealing a beautiful hands without an even a little bit of wounds.
“I, I’m sorry… I lost my cool…” Hein softly muttered.
“Its fine… so what’s the problem? It must have been grave for you to act like this?”
“My friend… a girl I’ve grown up with was currently in a perilous and dangerous situation right now… she was trapped inside a dungeon with her friends and can’t leave because there were many high level monsters waiting outside.” Hein honestly told her.

Leviana paused for a second and then asked, “Why? Can’t you just help them? I think with your abilities…”
“Truthfully the problem is not that… although I don’t how strong those monster are, the problem is the means of going there as soon as possible. Every second counts…”
Although I have [ Teleportation ] I can’t use it because I don’t know where this Beven’s city is… Hein thought to himself as he bit his lips in frustration.
“Where are they?”
“Beven’s city”
“My… now that’s a problem. If only they were on this kingdom then we can just go there with a carriage but Beven’s city… from what I know Beven’s city is located at the [ Calirei Kingdom ]…it’s quite far from here…”
Clenching his fist in frustration, he racked his mind as hard as he could try to find a solution for this predicament…
Seeing her son like this, Leviana couldn’t help but grimaced in frustration.
How can she call herself his mother if she can’t even help her son?
“If only we can fly…”
She said in a whim, however this simple wish brought Hein an idea!
That’s right! Aren’t I a dragon and a phoenix hybrid? A dragon and a phoenix? Creatures that were known as conqueror of the sky! Then maybe I can also do that… …but the problem is, I’m still unable to use it.
I’m still in the middle of the process of rebirth! But I can’t just give up like this…. Marie’s life is at stake here! There must be some way to quicken the process…
Biting his lips, he turned to his partner.
“Arche, can we… somehow… quicken the process of the rebirth?”
Answer: Normally there is no such way…
“Normally?”
Answer: Yes master….. Although I don’t know how it happened, the process of your rebirth is quite special.
“What do you mean ‘special’?”
Answer: From what I know, master should have died from consuming the dragon and the phoenix blood together. This both bloodlines were tyrannical so they should have burst your body into millions of pieces…
Hearing this fact, Hein couldn’t help but shiver as cold sweats run covered his back and forehead.
“B, but I’m alive right now… am I?”
Answer: Yes, that’s why I called it special. Master, you were an impossible being in the first place. A creature that should’ve not existed.
A monster that is completely out of the world’s common sense!..
… I don’t know how or who did it, but you only survive it because someone or somehow the beast inside those bloodlines were both confined and asleep.
You can say, they were both inside a cage and were restricted… this way, the blood will slowly weaken making it as if you won’t feel any pain at all while absorbing it.
As a side effect, the rebirth process took a longer time to finish…
“I, I see…” While saying so, something flashed in Hein’s mind.
A silhouette of a crimson haired girl whose face he couldn’t clearly see. She was saying some things at that time but he couldn’t remember it due to the pain he was suffering that day.
Now that I think about it… just who was that girl?
Shaking his mind, Hein ignored it for now as he wanted to focus on solving the current problem.
“Arche, can we somehow quicken the process?”
Answer: Just like what I said before, normally one can’t do it however as we were connected mentally and spiritually… I can lift the restriction and hasten the process.
However…
“However?”
Answer: By freeing the tyrannical might of each bloodline, master will experience tremendous pain.
Although right now, it won’t likely kill you because this have been suppressed for a long time already and have its pressure greatly weakens… but still, it will either make you a beast that only knows how to kill or absorb its power completely…
“I, I see… that’s enough for me. Let’s do it, Arche!”
Clenching his fist tightly, he raised his head and renewed his resolve. The more time he wasted in hesitation, the more Marie faces great danger.
Answer: As you wish, master!
