Rise Of The Dragon Emperor

When the day came to start the monster training for Ronan. Ronan was already level 17 , which was a feat unheard of for someone at 5 years of age.

Kids his age would not even have started their levelling journeys yet , unless they were from some prominent clans with extensive background. But even then they would be far from weapon training , much less monster training like Ronan who was a freak of nature.

Ronan was unlike Percy and Alexander who liked the sword. Ronan was an axe guy right from the start. He enjoyed the destructive force brought forth by an axe when it is swung with purpose , as although it has a shorter reach it was a much more versatile weapon which could also be thrown.

Ronan was a brute through and through as he never adopted the royal way of fighting with dignity . His fighting style was fearless as he would not shy away from taking a blow if it meant that he could return one . Refining his instincts as a warrior Ronan was a freak who would weave through attacks like he saw them coming a mile away as he would close in to get the axe strike .

More often than not , his sparring partners were vetteran soldiers , level 70 or more , while Augustus and Alexander themselves gave him a beating if they had the time to discipline him . However despite that , Ronan was never afraid to fail as he would constantly try new combinations and new ways to stun his opponent , failing 999 times to succeed once.

This was in stark contrast to the fighting style of Percy who was extremely calculative in every move he made , playing it safe all the time and never keeping failure as an option._.

However the real perplexing development was that Ronan was more interested in learning fire based arts than he was in learning lightning arts.

His affinity to fire was pitifully low at only 5% , even so his sheer will to master fire spells made it soo that he only practiced fire spells day and night , with even mastering a D ranked fire spell called Fire fists.

The techniques in the world of Everlon was divided into ranks , starting from the lowest one at F , and going upto SSS.

A higher ranked spell had an higher offensive capability , and the tier was set in a way such that a only if a spell can counter it’s opposing element completely , would it be placed in a higher tier.

Hence for example , only if fire fists could completely overpower the E ranked water spell , water bullet , could it be classified as a D ranked spell , similarly only if the spell hydrocannon could overpower the D ranked spell Earth Wall could it be considered a C rank spell.

The general rankings were this way , however within the same rankings a inferior element spell would always be weaker than an basic element spell and similarly a basic element spell would always be weaker than a higher element spell.

Hence Ronan with his exceptional lightning affinity , if focused on learning lightning spells would have been incrementally stronger in a battle. However his obsession with flames made it otherwise.

He was always smiling , even when Alexander threw him into a pool full of level 15 carnivorous crocodiles on the first day of monster battle training , Ronan would swim with them peacefully , while forcefully and bare-handedly ripping off the two jaws of the crocodiles that tried to bite him.

Unlike Percy who had a hard time when he was thrown in the pool , Ronan was more in his natural element , as he would clobber all the mischievous crocodiles while riding on the heads of those he liked , giving them pats.

Everyone who was watching this scene was dumbfounded as only a laughing sound of Augustus who could be heard saying ‘ MY GRANDSON , HAHAHAHA ‘. could be heard.

Nobody else expected a 5 year old to be soo ferocious and hold his own in a pool full of carnivorous animals that children usually run away from. It was clear how special Ronan was.

His use of flaming fists especially stunned everyone watching as his attack was powerfull enough to punch a seating hole in what was considered to be an extremely thick hide of a crocodile , showing the level of proficiency he had reached in that move.

Nobody could predict what this monster could do if he started to practice lightning arts seriously , however while their speculation was indeed in the right direction , it was not exactly correct. As grandma Luna knew firsthand ….. The real question was , what happens when the monster starts learning the forbidden spells?

( The day of the temple incident )

Grandmother Luna rushed towards her two grandsons the moment she came out of the Pooja room and saw them in such a pitiful state.

Percy was bleeding badly , whereas Ronan had fallen unconscious. Golden lightning crackling between his palms

When grandma Luna inspected the extremely burnt corpses of the flame lions around her , she noticed how their body was not only burning , but also disintegrating as if hit by the element of destruction itself.

Luna knew at that moment that Ronan was a child with the blood of that existance dominant in his bloodline and had power over the forbidden element . But she would rather die than let anyone find this secret out as she ordered Sierra to instantly freeze the lion corpses and destroy them.

Destroying the lion corpses Luna destroyed the trace of the golden thunder being used as she took Ronan to her private chambers as quickly as she could.

The following night , Luna patiently removed all the traces of the forbidden element from Ronan’s mana circuit as the process costed her , her very own lifeforce.

Sacrificing 100 years to protect the secret of her grandchild , Luna cleansed his mana circuit completely of the forbidden element , leaving a seal to disrupt it’s awakening.

Although it was not a permanent solution , it would atleast protect Ronan for the few years to come.

Burying the secret inside her heart Luna never told a single soul about Ronan’s powers , not even Augustus , as she secretly manipulated Ronan into learning fire arts , using stories about valour and family lineage and how he as a proud Draco should continue it.

Although detrimental to his combat potential , not learning lightning arts increased his chances of not triggering the forbidden element , giving him much needed time to grow.

In a way everyone in the family was secretly working for the benefit of each other while bearing the burden of others happiness alone. It was a blessed house , the house of Augustus Draco , with two monstrous talents being nurtured within it.
