"Instead of questioning why I beca strong, why don’t you question why you were about to die?"
I looked at Athyst with a rather serious expression, making sure she wouldn’t get too cocky, I had to show her a little bit of discipline... despite living for a hundred years, it feels like she still has the ntality of a rebellious teenager, and I feel like I have to set her straight.
Unlike Surtr or Erald, who despite having their issues, were mostly obedient and hardworking, this girl seems like the complete opposite... I can already tell she’s going to be quite the challenge to raise.
"I..." Athyst looked at perplexed, slowly sitting down and looking down at the floor, at her own reflection.
She didn’t really know what to say, it seed she was too prideful or sothing, even saying "thank you" was very hard for her...
"I ca here to help you. Umbral is also my responsibility, Svartalf, my grandmother, gave the task of defeating him," I said. "As he’s been sullying the na of the Dark Dragon Family by committing all those atrocities... and with no other dragon capable of stopping him, the responsibility has fallen to ."
"Svartalf herself told you to?" Athyst asked, looking rather disheartened. "But... I can defeat him! I have to simply grow stronger; I just have to keep training- I’ll go back to the desert! You helped and... I guess I’m grateful, but you shouldn’t worry. I can take care of this."
"Athyst?!" Jord panicked as Athyst stood up and started flying, trying to get out of my Divine Realm but...
She could not.
"Hey! Let out already! Jord co with , we’re going!" Athyst said, looking down at from the skies.
However, I didn’t move.
I only looked back at her with disappointed eyes.
"Athyst, you’re not moving anywhere until you fully recover and grow stronger... through my help."
"What?!"
"I will personally train you."
"What can you even do to help grow stronger? You probably used so sort of unique skill or whatever right? You’ve just cheated your way through all your problems, while everyone else like has been struggling! W-What can you even help with?!"
I see how it is now, she has been saving that one deep down for a while, hasn’t she?
"Athyst, how could you say such a thing to him?! He saved our lives!" Jord scread. "Please have so decency! He’s literally your family!"
"I don’t need him! I can do it on my own, I will avenge mom with my own strength, with the strength... she inherited to ...!" Athyst said angrily. "S-So let get out already Drake! Or..."
"Or what?" I asked her, looking at her without fear. "What will you do if I don’t let you?"
"You...!" she gritted her teeth angrily, her eyes glowing brightly as her divine aura erupted from her body. "You don’t leave any other option then! I’ll force my way out if you want to!"
She unleashed her power, about to smash the divine realm’s walls with her full power.
BOOOM!
And yet...
Nothing.
"Athyst, I believe you’re mistaken about sothing," I said, flying towards her and facing her head-on. "You’re not in a normal Divine Realm; you’re in the Divine Realm of a Venerable."
"Venerable?! You? Hah! Don’t make laugh, you could never be...?!"
Her eyes widened, as I unleashed my full power at once.
RUMBLE!
"GUAAAAGH?!"
She scread in agony as the imnse pressure sent her flying down and crashing into the ground beneath, leaving a massive crater.
Athyst looked at in utter disbelief, as I descended towards her.
"H-How is this possible...?! Just a while ago you were around my sa level!" she scread angrily. "How can you...?! Ugh...! How could...!"
"You’re a very stubborn person, aren’t you?" I sighed. "You’re the type of people that only learn through battle. So let’s fight, Athyst. Show your full power! If you can push down and make touch the ground beneath my feet, you win, and I’ll let you go."
"Hah...! You really underestimate , don’t you?! Everyone does! I hate that! Everyone thinks I’m still a child!" Athyst roared angrily, rushing towards at full power. "I’ll show you the true power of a dragon like , sothing a cheater like you could never attain!"
CRAAASH!
"Eh?"
However, I stopped her fists from reaching with my palm, and as she got angrier and attacked with claws, legs, bites, and tail...
I was able to intercept all blows with my own palms, legs, and tail.
"Y-YOU...!"
She beca angrier, frustrated.
"Your movents are amateur at best; you don’t know a single thing about fighting properly!" I said, reflecting on all her blows and hitting her in several spots of her body, shattering her crystal scales with ease. "You are too slow too! and you let your emotions control you! Athyst, you’re a terrible fighter!"
I kicked her head down, making her go back to the crater she ca from.
BOOOM!
"No wonder you don’t stand a chance against Umbral! Even his pitiful small fry minions could kill you! You’re a weakling, Athyst!"
"Y-You dare...! I-I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"
She roared furiously, opening her jaws and gathering all her energy at once.
"DIEEEEE!"
TRUUUM!
A gigantic beam of rainbow light reached ; it was indeed quite strong...
And yet, not even comparable to Benladra’s attacks.
BOOOM!
I waved my hand, reflecting on the beam into the skies as a huge explosion erupted behind .
"What was that? Was that supposed to kill ?"
"Impossible...! T-This can’t...!"
She was still in denial.
"Co on, fight with all you have! I’ll show you who’s in charge here, young lady. And until you drill into your head to be respectful to , we won’t stop fighting."
"You’re dead!"
Even when knowing I could easily defend against her attacks, Athyst rushed into the skies, clashing against again.
Hey, this was actually good, I was training her even though she didn’t know that...
She’s surprisingly easy to fool.
