Chapter 877 Cap 875: Learning To Control My Emotions?
When I returned home that day everyone was present, Kira and Ibuki were the first to see through my facade knowing I was full of rage, Diana and Erica, on the other hand, knew how I would look from the start.
I gather everyone in a room where we discuss where to go and how we’re going to get out of here making sure we don’t get followed.
Elsaris gave some suggestions, but in the end, I decided to go to the Gray Elf Village because of Kira, after that I would go to the White Elf Village.
I wanted to spend a few months away from the cities and away from these problems, I also needed time to integrate holy power into my combat style.
With that decided to send a Lesser Familiar like the Ghost Crows to where the Fairies are outside the city, they could be our way out of this city.

Pov Dargon:
After he’s gone I look at the shadow of the bookcase where a pale-skinned Rune and glowing black Runes emerges.
“You made an enemy today Dargon.” (Lyefh)
“I had no choice, it was orders from above, you know that.” (I)
“His teammates are not normal in many ways, we know next to nothing about them, but what we do know reveals he has great potential.” (Lyefh)
“How did they find your men?” (I)
“I don’t know, none of them are strong enough for that, I didn’t notice anything either, maybe there’s someone protecting them from the shadows, if so, then it only makes what you did worse.” (Lyefh)
“I’ve met a lot of people like him, his words in a moment of anger are not true, but it doesn’t change the fact that I lost a future great connection because of this idiotic plan.” (I)
Headquarters’ plan was simple, use these people as bait to force a movement of the Church of Light and give an excuse to grab them by the tail, of course, we wouldn’t put people who helped us at risk.
Just like I told the young Demigod earlier, I did my best to ensure the safety of his companions, but he didn’t care.
“We already have enough problems, settle your disagreements with him.” (Lyefh)
“Impossible, you felt it too, if he was strong enough then I would be dead by now and so would you, he just cares too much for his comrades, more even than we anticipated.” (I)
He’ll forget about us, but it’s a shame to lose someone so promising.
“Didn’t get anything?” (I)
“I did it, there were signs of a long range teleportation spell in the Church of Light, after that, a Templar arrived along with an Inquisitor, they were stronger than my subordinates, as soon as they tried something I captured them.” (Lyefh)
“Did you get anything from them?” (I)
“Committed suicide, one had some kind of magic item inside his body that exploded as soon as his energy was blocked during capture, the other had poison in a false tooth that broke as soon as he saw the other die.” (Lyefh)
“So we’re back to square one…” (I)
“Not exactly, now we know that the Church of Light will not stop going after the boy, plus we can use these two to put more pressure on them.” (Lyefh)
“It would be useless, they will say they acted on their own for hating the boy, for being a Heretic many of the most faithful of the Church of Light would find it difficult to resist the urge to kill him.” (I)
“It doesn’t matter, the responsibility for the incident still rests with them for not being able to control these two.” (Lyefh)
“That argument… might be valid, I’ll see what I can do.” (I)

Pov Zenos:
I spent the next few hours meditating to calm myself down, discovering that in my rage I was losing control of my Aura and my Dragon Transformation ability.
It seems that this skill can be activated more easily than I thought, I can activate it almost by instinct just like when I use my lines or poisons, so I have to keep my mind in order.
“Master, the Adventurer’s Guild sent the rewards for the quests to go to the Dungeons, they also sent the accumulated rewards for the fight in attacking the city and Nicole’s help.” (Freya)
“Check item by item, each currency, and material.” (I)
“Do you think they might have put something in the middle of the rewards?” (Freya)
“I don’t know, but I believe they will want to watch us somehow, they might even try to keep us being tracked, person for Nira to check everything.” (I)
“I’ll take care of it now.” (Freya)
As soon as Freya left my sister came in wearing leather clothes looking like she was from some kind of biker club, she sits down across from me and pulls out dozens of bottles of very strong liquor that she must have stolen from Anton’s warehouse.
“Calm down you idiot, if you let anger overwhelm you every time something like that happens then you won’t be able to protect them.” (Natasha)
“I know…” (I)
“Easier said than done?” (Natasha)
“…” (I)
She takes one of the bottles and cuts off the top with her claws using the bottom of the bottle as a large drinking glass.
“A little weak, but tasty.” (Natasha)
She empties the bottle into her mouth as if she’s drinking water before reaching for another one where she rips off the top to drink one more time.
“Your talent and mind are adequate, your mind mostly, but your emotions are too volatile.” (Natasha)
“Counting my two lives, I’ve been alive less than 50 years, I’m sorry I’m not emotionally stable enough to be calm when discovering others endangering my teammates.” (I)
“It may be true that with age you learn better about controlling your emotions, but that’s not the only way, any well-trained Warrior or Soldier learns about mental discipline and how to block emotions.” (Natasha)
“Do you suggest I learn to block out my emotions?” (I)
“No, mental discipline restricts one’s mind, and blocking one’s emotions makes one’s instincts worse, this load of rubbish causes a lot of trouble for those who always seek to push their limits.” (Natasha)
“The best way is with experience like I did, but if you want intensive training I know a faster way, but it will be horrible.” (Natasha)
“I can handle pain well.” (I) 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦
“Correction, you handle physical pain well, there are things much more unbearable than that.” (Natasha)
“You will not be training your body, it will be your mind and heart, failing this training will shatter your mind, even if you succeed it will be an experience that will mark you forever.” (Natasha)
“…” (I)
I look at her, her eyes are serious and I can see a slight glint of concern, she came to me to say this to me knowing it was risky, she also seems a little unsure about it so why tell me?
