GodKing Of Life - Chapter 38

Irene hastened from Shin, running at her highest speed.

She crossed the whole city like a hurricane leaving only gusts of wind in her path.​​

During those six months, the dragon seed inside Irene had greatly improved Irene’s physique, giving her a strength and body that was stronger and more resistant than a normal human.

It would not be wrong to say that Irene was now almost half a dragon and her bloodline was changing.

The process of transformation had surprised Shin by its slowness, in six months she was not even half dragon yet.

But thinking back, in the anime, the time of transformation of a human into a dragon has never been specified, maybe it will last for years.

In addition to her stronger body, Irene’s magical power grew stronger every day and became more and more powerful.

And through this observation, Shin had begun to teach Irene magic in greater depth.

As in the anime, she was very talented in enchantments and as far as Dragon Slayer magic was concerned, she used it only through enchantments.

Shin didn’t know anything about enchantments but he decided to help Irene to better handle and perceive magic.

Thus she created the “Body Enchantments” series which allows her to enchant a part of the body to improve it to a level that depends on the magic power used.

After a few seconds, she arrived in front of her room and opened it in a hurry.

“Shin!” Irene cried out with anxiety in her voice.

She suspected that destroying an entire kingdom as well as teleporting thousands of people had a cost, and he hadn’t even gone to see her when he arrived at Dragnof.

Scanning the room thoroughly, she could see Shin on the bed breathless, exhausted, tired and with sweat on his forehead.

Seeing him in this state for the first time, she ran towards him still armed with her anxious face.

“Are you all right?! What’s happening to you?!” exclaimed a completely panicked Irene.

Her heart tightened at the sight of Shin in this state and her face turned pale.

She was completely panicked and her brain was completely confused.

She crouched on the floor at the edge of the bed, took Shin’s head in her hands and put her head against his face.

“Shin!” Irene cried out in a broken voice in complete distress and filled with sadness.

Her magic power went out of control and was released.

Spreading throughout the kingdom, citizens were shocked to feel the Queen’s magical power.

And for the strongest and most sėnsɨtɨvė to magic like Belserion, they felt the Queen’s magic power was disordered and out of control.

Irene’s magical power was not as immense and powerful as Shin’s, but it was still impressive.

Feeling Irene’s distress, Belserion flicked a wing, propelling him to the balcony of Irene’s room.

Arriving not too far from the balcony, he saw a crying Irene and Shin’s body on the bed.

Immediately, Belserion imagined the worst-case scenario and his face became ugly.

But when he wanted to go into the room, he stopped, feeling the magic power of Shin.

He was relieved when he realized that Shin was only extremely tired from his empty magical reserves.

He still wanted to go to Irene to tell her because if his magic power continued to run wild like that, it could cause some damage that could be avoided.

Except that when Belserion was about to go, Irene’s magic power subsided and faded.

Looking in Irene’s direction, Belserion could see a hand resting on Irene’s head.

Seeing that the situation was under control and that everything was fine, he left with a sigh of relief and a smile to return to the citizens.

—————-

As her tears streamed down Shin’s cheeks, she felt a hand on her head.

Coming to her senses and looking at Shin’s face, she could see him looking at her with a look of love and care and a small smile.

“All is well, my dragon,” Shin said in a loving but exhausted voice while rubbing Irene’s hair to reassure her.

Hearing this and feeling her warm touch, she burst into tears as she gently rubbed her face against Shin’s face like a small animal.

“I thought you were going to die,” Irene said in a desperate voice.

“Don’t worry, I just need to sleep, my magic power is exhausted,” Shin replied in a weak voice as he fell asleep.

Irene began to calm down as she could no longer feel Shin’s warm touch.

And at that moment, that’s what she needs the most.

Then she wiped away her tears and got up to undress.

Completely undressed and finding herself nȧkėd, she hastened to put herself and Shin under the comforter.

Under the comforter, she used a small enchantment on Shin to remove his clothes.

Both completely nȧkėd under the comforter, Irene collapsed and huddled in the warm and comfortable embrace of her lover, reveling in his sweet and woody scent.

She took Shin’s arm and put it around her neck to feel Shin’s protection.

Irene was truly a different person in Shin’s company.

Irene is an authoritative and charismatic woman who is fearless and will face any threat she encounters. But when she is with Shin, she becomes a docile, gentle and even childish wife if she wants to.

Shin has become her whole, her universe without whom she cannot live, he is her husband whom she loves the most in the world.

———————-

“Mm-hmm.”

A small mȯȧning could be heard in Irene’s room.

It came from Shin who was beginning to wake up.

After a few minutes, her eyelids opened gently to adapt to the sunbeam passing through the windows.

Having adapted, Shin’s eyes were completely open and he felt a weight on his side.

Her face expressed endless happiness and her exquisite body was exposed to the

rays of the sun that only embellished it.

He wanted to move without waking Irene, but it could be complicated because of her position.

Her legs were wrapped around Shin’s, locking them completely and hugging him tightly as if she was holding the most precious thing and she didn’t want to let him go.

And if Shin tried to move an inch to leave, the embrace would tighten.

Stopping trying to escape, Shin breathed a sigh of defeat and looked at Irene.

“Even when you sleep you are beautiful,” he sighed ironically as he bent down to give her a kiss on the forehead.

Except that as he gave her the kiss, Irene’s eyelids fluttered showing a sign of awakening and a spoiled smile appeared on her face.

Irene finally opened her eyes to be greeted by Shin’s face completely awake.

“Shin!”

Her smile widened and she jumped on Shin to give him a deep and passionate kiss.

After several minutes of enjoying it, they separated and looked into each other’s eyes.

“You know you scared me, I thought I was going to lose you,” Irene squealed.

Shin could see that his eyes reflected great fear.

“Don’t worry, I’ll never leave you, it was just a lack of magical power,” Shin reassured Shin by placing his forehead against Irene’s, who nodded.

They remained in this position for several minutes and Shin took the opportunity to check his reserves of magical powers.

And they could see that it was full, which surprised him a little.

He had only slept a few hours in a room so he should have recovered about 3/4.

Then thinking of an idea, he checked Irene’s to see that her reserves were not full.

She must have given him some of her magic power to help him.

After separating, Irene left on her own to look after the new citizens who had arrived.

Shin was now alone in the room.

He took the opportunity to look only at his condition because he wanted to see if it had increased in strength in the last six months.

‘State’.

[Name: Shin Ai

Age: 20 years old (physically)

Race: Phoenix God

Bloodline: God of Life

Total power: AAA (average)]

Shin was surprised but happy to see that it had increased from AAA (low) to AAA (medium).

This might seem low in six months but he had only fought dragons quite low compared to him so his power increased very little.

He would have to fight opponents equal to or stronger than him to become stronger.

So for now, he was expecting to be stuck at this level for a little while.

He didn’t know what level Acnologia would be at, but knowing that the maximum level in this world is S (weak), he thought that Acnologia should be equivalent to him.

Because he was sure that Zeref after absorbing Fairy Heart was at the top so S (low) and Shin doubted that Acnologia was there too.

And since it is 400 years before that time, he thinks that Acnologia is about his level.

But a doubt still reigned and Shin prefers to be cautious.

The only thing he thought he could still improve before his future battle with Acnologia was his spear.

Shin reached out his hand to make his spear appear.

Then his spear came out of his space and landed in his hand.

‘Analysis’

[Name: Life Throw /// Rank: Super Rare (upgradeable)]

Seeing this, Shin was happy with his evolution but was also blocked.

As for him, his spear had evolved by fighting opponents except that they were now too weak and the scales of the dragons Shin had fought so far were no longer a challenge for her.

And it would be even harder for her to evolve through combat.

But there is another way to make her evolve and that’s the forge.

By reforging it and melting new metals, it will be able to evolve and become stronger and more powerful.

But the metals have to be well chosen, they have to be of good quality, durable, resistant, they have to match all the characteristics.

And the more the lance will evolve, the more the material will have to be resistant, powerful.

Shin did not want to give his spear to a random blacksmith, moreover he doubts that there are some competent enough.

So as decided from the beginning, he decided to learn how to forge himself.

He made his spear disappear in his space and went out of the room to the exit of the palace.

—————–

Shin walked down the commercial street in the direction of the blacksmith’s shop.

This time he was covered with his hooded robe to hide his identity.

It’s not that he didn’t want to interact and talk to the citizens, it’s just that he wanted to hurry to the blacksmith shop.

Looking for the forge for several minutes, he finally saw the logo of a forge with a hammer indicating that it was here.

He pushed the door open and entered.

It was quite simple but rather large, weapons of all types hung on all the walls which seemed better than the weapons stored on the shelves and barrels in the middle of the store.

But Shin didn’t pay any attention to it since he hadn’t come for that.

He walked over to the counter to see an old bald man, quite tall, very muscular and with a big beard.

Very clichéd in appearance,’ Shin thought, but he didn’t judge.

“Hello, customer, can I help you,” asked the manager with a nice smile.

“Yes, I wanted to know if you have any forging equipment to sell me,” Shin asked politely.

The manager was surprised by his request, he had never been asked that before.

People wouldn’t bother to learn how to forge when they already had a blacksmith nearby.

The manager was also thinking about Shin’s voice, he would swear he heard it somewhere.

Seeing the manager’s questioning look, Shin thought that wearing a hood must be rude and suspicious so he took it off.

When his face was revealed, there was an awkward silence as the manager and Shin looked at each other.

Then a few seconds of silence later, the manager’s face turned pale and began to sweat.

“M-My King” The manager bowed immediately without flinching.

Shin was half stunned by his reaction but more importantly by what he had been called.

My King.

It seemed that after the announcement of his marriage with Irene and the destruction of Alderia, the citizens already saw Shin as their King.

It really warmed his heart to be accepted and recognized by the citizens.

“No need to bow, just consider me as a customer,” Shin said, raising his hand to stop him.

‘As I could,’ thought the manager.

He had the future king before him, a future great king and a divine and mythical creature who could destroy kingdoms.

“Do you have the equipment? It’s because I’m interested in the forge,” Shin explained, amused by the manager’s funny face.

“Of course” exclaimed the manager with respect and stress.

“Well thank you, you can bring it to the palace, I’ll let the guards know”.

Shin put some jewels on the counter and walked away with a swing of his hand to say goodbye.

He put on his hood and left to leave a manager still shocked by his presence but especially by the quantity of jewels Shin paid for.

It was 3 times the price!

The manager almost fell in the apples of happiness.

‘It is the most beautiful day of my life!’

————

Arriving at the palace, Shin went home and looked for Irene in her office to see if she needed help.

But he couldn’t find her in his office so he searched the whole palace without any result.

He started to panic thinking that this was not really normal.

So he went to the last place he didn’t go.

The courtyard.

And on his way there, he found Belserion alone without Irene.

He hurried to go to him and ask him where Irene was.

Strangely enough, Belserion picked up a strange and mysterious smile in Shin.

“She’s in her room, she was sick.”
