150:
[Dragon Fear]
The innate domain of a pure-blooded dragon. For those with insufficient willpower, this feeling was like their breathing becoming heavy, their heart racing, as if they had been frightened. There was also an inexplicable feeling of powerlessness and exhaustion, making one want to escape this domain.
Ordinary people and low-level Professionals could not withstand dragon fear. This was also why the human wave tactic was not necessarily effective against dragon creatures. A group of guys who would only tremble and howl and disrupt the morale of the army might as well not appear.
Shelley easily adapted to the effect of dragon fear.
“A petty trick.”
“Dragon fear is so weak.”
“Compared to Charm Divinity, it’s not even on the same level.”
His willpower could withstand the baptism of divinity.
“I’m chatting and laughing with it.”
Playing with the meme in his mind, Shelley observed the reactions of the others.
Morgan frowned slightly, just a little disgusted. White Shark’s eyes turned red from the stimulation, looking like she was about to transform in the next second. What surprised him the most was Erica, who had no reaction at all, and even looked a little disdainful.
She smiled when she saw Shelley’s gaze and said in a clear voice, “Is there something wrong, Lord Shelley?”
How mysterious. Is her constitution special? Or is her willpower high?
Smiling and nodding, Shelley said, “Lady Erica, I need your blessing.”
“I’m going to sneak in first and deal as much damage as I can.”
This was very dangerous. Any battle with a dragon creature required twelve points of attention. If you were not careful, you might say goodbye to this beautiful world.
Shelley’s request was very reasonable, and he knew it was within Erica’s authority. A god’s blessing was a special kind of enhancement. At the very least, a priest of the archbishop level was qualified to bestow a blessing on behalf of a god.
Although Shelley was not sure of the specific strength of the two priestess ladies, there was another advantage now. All their actions were under the watch of two bored goddesses.
“They definitely wouldn’t mind… hmm?”
“…Hmm???”
Shelley’s eyes suddenly trembled.
“If, if I had made a move last night…”
“Doesn’t that mean…”
A live broadcast?
“This can’t be broadcast! It’ll be banned!”
“Thank goodness I was able to control myself.”
[You almost did.]
Erica’s smile didn’t change. She looked Shelley up and down and said with a grin, “You know a lot.”
“Alright. I’ll give you my blessing.”
With that, she reached out and tugged at the corner of Shelley’s clothes. Shelley then knelt on one knee before her. A faint light emanated from Erica’s body, and she suddenly seemed much more majestic. She bent down, kissed Shelley on the forehead, and then whispered in his left ear, “You will be favored by luck. The goddess will protect you.”

Erica finally lightly kissed Shelley’s earlobe, straightened up with a grin, and walked to the side.
“I bet right. They definitely wouldn’t mind giving me a little favor…”
Pia.
Shelley was just about to get up when he was hit on the back by a pipe.
“Hmph.”
Morgan didn’t say anything, just stood there with her arms crossed, pouting at him.
“I forgot about her…”
That’s right. How could the Twin Fates let the other be happy? You give him a blessing? Fine. I’ll give him one too. Hmph. Piss you off.
His smile unchanged, Shelley turned to Morgan and asked warmly, “Lady Morgan, can we have your blessing?”
“…”
Hmm? What’s wrong? Weren’t you the one who hit me? Why aren’t you talking?
Blinking, Shelley looked at Morgan’s pouting little mouth with some confusion, and the peaks that were pushed up by her crossed arms, looking even more majestic and beautiful.
After a long stalemate, Morgan turned her head and said something in a low voice.
“…Morgan.”
This whisper was very faint. If it weren’t for Shelley’s relatively keen senses, he wouldn’t have heard what she was saying at all.
“What did you say?”
“…Hmph! Bow your head!”
Morgan walked over, a little impatiently, and then kissed Shelley on the forehead with unusual seriousness. Then she turned her head and whispered in Shelley’s right ear, “Your enemies will be shrouded in misfortune. The goddess will protect you.”
[Gained Special Feat “Blessing of the Goddess of Misfortune”]
After she finished speaking, Morgan was about to get up, but was stopped by Shelley grabbing her small hand.
“What!?”
Shelley quickly brought his lips to her ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Thank you…”
“Morgan.”
You, you, you!
As if electrocuted, she jumped up and pointed at Shelley, speechless for a long time.
“You, you, you, you, you…”
You heard me, didn’t you?
Making a shushing gesture at the shy Morgan, Shelley smiled and winked his left eye. Without waiting for her response, Shelley said to the others, “I’m going in first. You come in on my signal.”
“White Shark, Black Wolf…”
“Protect them. This is your only chance to live.”
His cold eyes swept over their necks. The eyes that had been full of warmth just now were now only cold.
Taking two javelins, Shelley concealed his presence and walked into the darkness ahead.
Morgan turned her head to the side, not letting anyone see her expression. But her slightly red ears still revealed a different kind of emotion.
“…Hmph.”
Erica seemed to be looking in the direction Shelley had left, but her mouth was moving up and down, silently saying, “Morgan…”
Closing her mouth, Erica laughed happily.

…
Shelley had been sneaking for two minutes when he saw a huge monster lying on a pile of treasure.
“How blissful.”
A little envious.
“I’m a man who holds a bit of a grudge.”
“So…”
Shelley quietly circled to its back, ten meters away, and forcefully threw the javelin in his hand.
“Get the hell up!”
“Time to party!”
“No sleeping!”
