Chereads / The Power Of the Seven Steps / Chapter 9 - The Hidden fortress

Chapter 9 - The Hidden fortress

I considered myself to possess the strongest and most intelligent summons of any dragon I knew, so I felt confident in their ability to uncover clues about the Seven Star Hero and his source of power. However, I reminded myself that a God should always supervise and support those under him. "Look at me getting more mature," I thought, feeling a swell of pride.

With that in mind, I decided to check on the progress of my summons in their investigation.

First, I reached out to Henidela. Unfortunately, her progress was limited; not many creatures seemed to know the ancient history of our world. I encouraged her to persist and not be discouraged by such minor setbacks.

To my surprise, Rosther had managed to uncover some intriguing clues regarding the Seven Star Hero. According to him, there was a legend among humans that the first king of their empire, along with prominent warriors from other species, transferred their powers to the Seven Star Hero, who was revered as the "Apostle of God." 

What startled me more was that, according to human legends, the Seven Star Hero had not fought the Dragon God but rather the Demon King. I instructed Rosther to delve deeper into the relationships between the different species and their history following the ancient war. "This has to connect to the pact between the Seven Star Hero and Shira," I mused.

Next, I attempted to contact Basphir to discover what clues he had uncovered.

"What?!" 

His voice was filled with urgency. "The powers of a Dragon God have been interfered with."

"Interfered with? How is that possible?" I exclaimed. "What kind of powerful barrier could do such a thing?"

I felt a surge of unease. "Is there a being out there on par with me—or even stronger?!"
