Once the golden eyes which I assud belonged to the king disappeared, the beautiful scenery of outer space with different planets also began to fade. I was left standing in front of the altar, almost reluctant to leave.
After a few seconds, the scene disappeared completely. I turned my attention back only to be faced with everyone's shocked gazes. The pink dragoness who held a stoic expression all along had her jaw wide open as she glanced at from the upper parts of the staircase.
The water dragoness followed by the fire dragon were both right behind her. I did not sense any animosity from the water dragoness, her eyes were full of curiosity and surprise as she stared at , I was also able to sense a different emotion lurking behind her gaze.
The young fire dragon on the other hand was glaring daggers at , I assud all of them were facing the pressure I had felt when I took my first step into the staircase, hence the reason why no one had tried to fly to the goal nor use magic.
The young brown dragon was at last place, a few steps behind both red and blue. He seed to be struggling the most under the pressure as his legs were visibly shaking.
'It feels like I kind of cheated,' I inwardly mumbled, since the pressure had disappeared and Instead I was even able to sense a sort of connection to the mana.
'Hell, who cares! As long as I made it,' I thought, a wide grin stretched on my face as I glanced down at the red dragon with head raised high.
This only served to further anger him, yet I did not care. Instead, I very much enjoyed looking at his reaction. Just then, a sudden subtle mana rushed towards .
Had it been before, I would have without a doubt failed to notice it. But now, after I was bestowed my na, my body began to change. I was not completely aware of the extent of these changes, yet at the very least my mana perception was a whole realm higher.
The pink mana moved like a snake as it made its way towards all the while riding the stream of mana in the air, using it to its advantage and effectively hiding the attack.
But all of that was useless since I could now see it. Like a net, I willed the water mana in the air to intercept the attack. To my surprise once it ca in contact with my mana, the attack disappeared with a puff.
It was almost disappointing how flimsy the attack was. As soon as it disappeared, I turned to glare at the pink dragoness who launched her sneak attack. Her eyes widened in surprise as she hurriedly averted her gaze under my bloodlust.
I however was not going to let her off the hook so easily. With a swift motion, I jumped from the top of the stairs and spread my wings as I soared down like a falcon towards Pink.
I was too fast as she had no ti to react before she was already pinned to the ground under my claws. Her body was furiously shaking as I materialized countless ice sickles, all of which floated in the air while pointing at her.
I lowered my head closer to hers with my teeth bared as I growled. 'Don't test my patience!' My aning was very clear as she hastily nodded, her eyes still shocked while looking at .
With a cold harrumph, I released pink and calmly made my way down the stairs. The other younglings were all staring at in awe, even red whose eyes still burned with clear fighting intent now carried a hint of respect as he looked at .
Once I reached the final steps, I was suddenly t with my grandfather's towering figure. I lowered my head and offered an apology since I was no sure if attacking Pink was the right move.
'I apologize, I was a bit rash,' I said, yet I was surprised as my grandfather suddenly began to laugh joyously.
I could sense his mana reach out to , his control was in a realm of its own as he used it to raise my head high.
"Why do you lower your head little one, you acted the way a dragon must! Raise your head and be proud for you did not bring sha to our family," He said in a proud tone.
Hearing that, I was delighted as I nodded in understanding before I raised my head high. The other adults surprisingly did not seem to hold any grudge against , I could feel their eyes studying in curiosity with no animosity whatsoever.
'That's actually surprising,' I inwardly mumbled, it was then that grandfather asked.
"Say your na little one, announce it to everyone present, and be proud for you have been nad by the king himself!" He spoke.
'My na is...Aether!' I spoke and the mana seed to listen as my voice resounded in our surroundings for the first ti ever causing all eyes to once again turn to .
Grandfather looked proud as he nodded before he replied. "A mighty na, Aether! I am called Hadeon the destroyer!" He formally introduced himself to for the first ti making feel contented, grandfather had acknowledged !
The other adult dragons all nodded before they turned their attention back to the trials, I did the sa while still thinking about grandfather's na. 'Such a cool title too! The destroyer, I wonder what he did to earn that?'
As I watched the younglings struggle to climb, Pink took a few monts to compose herself after my attack before she resud her climb, That ti however, was all blue and red needed to quickly catch up as the gap between them decreased.
She was still leading, albeit only by a small margin. My eyes turned to Brown who seed to be having a hard ti with each step he took. 'Is he going to be okay?' I wondered.
Their ascent continued, Pink was the first to reach the summit. I watched in curiosity as the strange cosmo mana descended once again to engulf her entire body as she disappeared, this ti I was unable to make out the scenery as the mana seed to cloak Pink inside of it.
Monts later, she erged out with a proud look on her face as she began her descent. Blue and Red reached the altar almost the sa mont, yet it seed like Blue was a tad faster.
The sa thing that happened with Pink occurred again as the cosmo mana swallowed her whole for a few seconds before she erged out of it unhard. Her eyes t mine, and I could sense her feelings as she did not attempt to hide them.
'These feelings, she likes ?'
