Athyst battled for hours without end, it seed that after sleeping all that ti and eating, she was full of energy, constantly attempting to escape as well, while unleashing all kinds of crazy magic spells or techniques I had never seen before.
She was honestly very strong, stronger than Surtr and Erald when I first t them, honestly. And she probably is still as strong as them before Surtr beca a Venerable and before Erald gained all those Demonic Powers and Mastered his Celestial Winds.
She was at the peak of Rank 10 by now and probably had very few equals within the sa Rank at all, with Surtr already beyond that as a Venerable, perhaps only Erald could compare to her, and a few others... maybe Umbral, though I have not fought him nor know what Realm he is.
And even then, she wasn’t strong enough to defeat one of his creations, aning that despite not being a Venerable, that bastard had cultivated his Demon King Heart to the point of surpassing the limits of Rank 10s... Dragons are naturally divine beings, so they can actually surpass such limits on their own, but without becoming Venerables like Surtr did.
The key difference is the Ascendancy Laws and how much power they bring, while Divine Dragons can continue growing past Rank 10 unlike mortals, they still aren’t as strong as actual Venerables with Ascendancy Laws, powers that defy reality and are part of the world’s laws themselves.
However, it’s quite clear that the bastard of Umbral is making up for lacking that by using his Demon King Heart and the powerful Sin within it, alongside the Fragnt of Chaos he possesses, and who knows what else he has.
Athyst hatred against him is what drove her to fight so relentlessly even now, the bastard had killed her mother and used her as materials for his Soul Gear, making himself immune to most Light Elental Magic and Damage, but I believe that even then, he shouldn’t be immune.
"WHY...! WHY WON’T YOU LET GO?!"
She roared furiously, it has been seven hours since our battles had started, I have fought against her relentlessly and without holding back, occasionally fully healing her after beating her down a lot, just to provoke her to fight more.
The more we fought, the more I understood how she battled, and the more I was able to learn how she acts, and also more about her personality, and how much her trauma affected her mind and her overall fighting style.
Despite her imnse strength, Athyst is... nothing but a child, a crying child, chained by her own grudges, despair, and sorrow, she always had Jord with her, but since her mother died, she always felt alone.
And now, rather than just showing her I was stronger to assert my dominance as a dragon king, I was also helping her let out of all those negative emotions clouding her judgent.
She had to fight, to scream, to cry... until she felt completely exhausted.
I already started this, so I wasn’t going to back down, I will help this child and guide her towards the right path.
And together we will defeat Umbral and avenge her mother.
"I know you’re furious, Athyst, and I know you have a lot of negative emotions inside of you..." I said. "You’re free to let them all out... fight until you feel satisfied. Cry, scream, roar, burn , slash ! Don’t worry, I am so strong that you won’t even harm . So co at ! I will help you finally let out all your resentnt, and at the sa ti, I will teach you a valuable lesson about never underestimating your superiors."
"SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU’RE NOT MY SUPERIOR!!! AAAAGGGH!"
Athyst scread, her entire body glowing brightly, each of her scales was of a different crystal color, letting out thousands of rays and then sending them towards .
That was a new ability, the more we fought and the more I healed her after she took a lot of damage, the more her body continued evolving and growing stronger.
This training was perfect for her; slaying monsters was never going to help her pass through the wall that is Rank 10.
At the sa ti, depleting her mana and divine power and then healing it back also helped her expand her divine power, and her divinity was being destroyed and recovered too, the sa thing was happening.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The explosions of her beams reached , bombarding with countless explosions of bright light, however, as the smoke dissipated, my body erged unscathed, as I cleaned the dust from my clothes.
"Haha, pretty impressive."
I quickly moved forward, taking a single step into the skies and then reappearing behind her. Her rainbow eyes faced with fury, her claws growing three tis as big and sharp as she smiled.
"I GOT YOU! I KNEW YOU WOULD DO THAT, OLD BASTARD!"
She swung her claws and released an explosion of divine holy light at the sa ti, generating an imnse shockwave that cut through anything in an X-shaped attack.
CRAAASH!
If I was near her Rank, I would have been surely shredded into bits... it was a deadly naless technique, but not really... effective against .
"That one was pretty strong, you didn’t use it before, when did you make it?"
"RAAAAHHHH!"
She scread angrily after realizing I was unscathed, opening her jaws and releasing a dragon breath, while her Draconic Aura surged and also unleashed another dragon breath at .
BOOOM! BOOOM!
Both beams were strong, pushing a few ters down due to the intensity of the divine power within them...
"Athyst, you really have amazing potential and talent, way beyond Surtr and Erald, if I don’t include Surtr’s Unique Skills and Erald’s Celestial Winds!"
I swung my hand to the left, sending the dragon breaths into the skies and provoking two more explosions, as Athyst looked at in disbelief.
