"Hey, Brother Shi."

Just then, the guild door was pushed open, and someone interrupted Luna.

Shichen turned his head and saw that it was actually Sato Kazuma, with Duster beside him.

"Kazuma, where have you been these past two days?" Shichen asked with a smile.

"..." Luna shook her lips, helplessly letting go of Shichen's hand, and looked at Sato Kazuma with an exceptionally terrifying gaze.

"Uh......"

Kazuma Sato naturally noticed her gaze as well, and he didn't dare to look at her: "Brother Shi, come over here, I just wanted to tell you something."

"Okay... Luna, what were you going to say just now?"

"It's alright." Luna shook her head gently with a smile: "Shichen, your business is more important."

"I'm sorry."

"it does not matter."

"Kazuma, come over here." Tokichi led Sato Kazuma to a corner of the bar where no one would bother them.

Duster did not follow.

Shichen ordered two beers, and after Sato Kazuma took a sip, he asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Brother Shi..."

Sato Kazuma hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind and asked, "Can...can I leave your team?"

"Leave my group? Why?"

"I know that Brother Shi is very good to me, but I also know that my strength is no match for yours. Being with you would only be a burden to you."

"There is no such thing."

"No, Brother Shi, please don't flatter me. I know myself very well."

"this......"

“After dying last time, I realized that I’m terrified of death. The feeling of death is so terrifying. Even now, when I think about it, I still can’t help but tremble.” Kazuma Sato said, hugging himself and shaking.

"Are you OK?"

"It's nothing... I think I've developed a fear of death."

"It seems like everyone is afraid of death, right? You don't need to think about that."

"No, I'm too scared to do dangerous missions now. I'm fine as I am, doing simple tasks with Duster every day and just getting by."

"Going to the succubus shop every day is considered a life of idleness?" Shi Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Uh... I'm going there for psychological treatment."

"So...you've really made up your mind?"

"Well, I've finally come to this other world, I don't want to live a life of constant fear, this is good."

"Sigh, fine, if you think this is good... I'll give you some money, you can buy a house or start a business, just don't be a lazy bum."

Shichen still felt a little guilty towards Sato Kazuma. Anything that could be compensated with money was no big deal, since he didn't care about money anyway, and money was of no use to him.

"I can't possibly accept this." Kazuma Sato said with a lewd smile.

"...After all, I don't want to see you living a miserable life."

"Brother Shi...you're still the best to me!" Sato Kazuma said, his face full of emotion.

"But don't waste it at the succubus shop," Shichen warned.

"Don't worry, I absolutely won't!" Kazuma Sato patted his chest and assured him.

"That's good."

Shi Chen got up, patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, gave him a considerable sum of money, and then left with Huihui and the others.

"Brother Shi! Goodbye!" Sato Kazuma waved gratefully to Shi Chen.

Shi Chen waved his hand and left the guild without looking back.

After that, he and Kazuma Sato parted ways completely.

Chapter 368 The Fifth Familiar

The sea is azure and sparkling, and the flowers and plants along the beach are full of life.

Winter passes and spring comes, and everything revives.

Suddenly, a cracking sound erupted from the sea, waves surged, and a ball of light shot into the sky.

The ball of light dissipated, revealing figures: a black-haired youth in a long robe and a blue-haired girl in a feathered robe.

The blue-haired girl was being carried in the arms of the black-haired young man. Her delicate face was flushed, and she was squinting, looking exhausted.

Shichen looked at Aqua, who was already half asleep, and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

This is the third time already, and Aqua still can't withstand his onslaught, even though he's been very gentle.

Is this all there is to being a goddess?

His initial refusal to admit defeat was just stubbornness.

As they flew into the sky, the towns on the ground became indistinct, and Aqua shook slightly.

"Aqua, don't you want to experience the feeling of flying?"

"Ugh...time...I'm so tired..." Aqua replied softly, her eyes barely open.

"You don't want to ride a dragon anymore?"

"Dragon!" Aqua perked up a little, groggily opening her eyes, which were still wet with tears.

"Come on, stand still first." Shichen smiled and put Aqua down.

"Huh? How come we're in the sky!" Aqua became even more energetic. She quickly hugged Toki, clinging to him like an octopus, her legs tightly wrapped around his waist.

"Didn't I tell you I can fly?" Toki patted Aqua on the back to comfort her.

"So it really is true!"

"Do I need to lie to you?"

During this period, he hadn't done any missions and had been idle every day, so Shichen had no chance to show Aqua and the others his flying abilities.

He's not the type to show off.

"And what about the dragon?"

"I'll show you right away."

Shichin had his right arm around Aqua, and his left hand was raised, with a green "Δ" symbol appearing on the back of his hand.

It's not a triangle, it's a delta.

Immediately afterwards, green magic surged from Shichen's entire body, gathering above his head.

"Roar--!"

Accompanied by a majestic dragon roar, a vast amount of magic power formed a long dragon, a long and enormous green dragon.

The dragon is entirely green, but it is decorated with yellow ring-shaped patterns on its body, which eventually extend to the top of its head.

It has two limbs with three claws on each wrist, two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head, and two smaller horns below them. It also has protruding gums and two clearly identifiable fangs at the tip of its upper snout.

The fifth familiar that awakened when Time absorbed the blood of Saber—Artoria.

Rayquaza, the dragon of the sky and the ruler of the skies.

At the same time, he also mastered the ability to fly.

"Wow! It really is a dragon! But why does it look like this?" Aqua looked at the enormous dragon above her head, extremely excited, and completely woke up.

"This is Rayquaza, a sky dragon with the potential of an Eastern dragon," Shichen explained, gazing at Rayquaza's handsome figure.

"Eastern Dragon? I see, I've heard a little about it."

"Isn't he handsome?"

"That's so cool! Can I ride it?"

"Of course, Rayquaza!"

"Roar--!"

Rayquaza let out a long roar, then twisted its body and flew swiftly to the feet of the two.

Time, holding Aqua, landed on Rayquaza's nape.

"oh--!"

The feeling of being grounded made Aqua even more excited. She grabbed the horns on both sides of Rayquaza's head, feeling their texture, and was full of vigor.

Rayquaza, let's go!

Naturally, Rayquaza remained motionless.

"Shichen~" Aqua looked at Shichen with a wronged expression.

"Hehe~ Rayquaza, fly in that direction, no need to go too fast," Shichen ordered with a smile.

"Roar!"

Rayquaza responded and flew toward Axel.

The speed was not slow at all, and Aqua's soft, long hair was blown into a mess, but she didn't care at all.

"Amazing! Fantastic!"

At this moment, Aqua seemed to have fully recovered her physical strength and spirit, showing no signs of fatigue from the passage of time.

He had just been pleading with Shichen.

I wonder if goddesses recover more easily.

Rayquaza's flight speed is far superior to that of a carriage; even if it slows down, the journey from Alcanrethia to Axel will only take a dozen minutes.
