1023 I need strength.
"So you want to enter the Dragon Trials?"
"That is correct."
Ember replied with a determined look on her face.
"Why?"
"Because I need strength."
"And you only thought about this after training in the Battle Dimension for 10 years?" Vyriana raised her eyebrow.
"I needed to get strong enough to show you that I deserve this chance."
"And you think you have done enough?" Vyriana questioned with a curious look on her face.
"I do not see a way to get stronger than this on my own," Ember answered.
"Well I won't label your current abilities as weak," Vyriana muttered as she glanced at the battlefield behind Ember.
The entire field was black, one could still smell the burning scent of flames, even the heat hadn't dissipated yet, it was definitely hard to believe that this was done by a Great Sage Cultivator, the strength of the Spells used looked much stronger than that.
Vyriana was pleasantly surprised.
"You say they weren't weak, but I still wasn't able to defeat her..."
Ember spoke as she glanced at Astaria who was sitting on a boulder with her arms crossed.
"You do not have to compare yourself with her, she had 20 years to train, while you only had 10," Vyriana replied.
"Right, the time flow here in this place is 2 times slower than the Battle Dimension," Ember noted.
"Heh, don't flatter yourself, Ember. Even if you had 20 years, you still wouldn't have defeated me." Astaria, of course, wasn't willing to take this lying down.
Ember stared at Astaria, she would have challenged this woman to satisfy her urge for battle, but she knew better than anyone what sort of monster this woman had become.
There was no point in challenging Astaria, it would be her loss.
"Look at you, getting all arrogant when you haven't even grasped the basics I taught you yet." Vyriana glanced at Astaria and smiled.
And seeing that smile, Astaria's body trembled and she quickly turned silent.
Vyriana then turned towards Ember and, "Why the Dragon Trial? With how you have learned how to mix two elements creating even stronger spells, I'd say you have more potential as an Elf than a Dragon"
"I believe my nature is closer to a Dragon than an elf," Ember replied.
"Is that so...?" Vyriana observed Ember for a while. Then, she nodded, "Well, if you want to go take the Dragon Trials, I can arrange it for you, however, let me warn you beforehand,
Unlike Trials of other races, the results of the Dragon Trial don't depend on your potential, it depends on your strength. It may seem unfair, but if you are not strong enough, then even if you do become a Dragon, your Bloodline wouldn't be as strong."
Ember thought about this for a while then, she glanced at Vyriana and,
"You have seen my strength... what level of Bloodline do you think I'd get if I enter the Trails as I am right now?"
"Hmm. That is an interesting question." Vyriana smiled.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Then after thinking about it for a while, she started nodding to herself, "Well I guess you should be a Dragon instead of an Elf. The Elven Trails are Mysterious and results are hard to predict. With your strength, I am sure you will get a King Level Bloodline."
"King Level Bloodline..."
"Mhm, a Bloodline as strong as the Dragon Lord. Not many people have Bloodline as pure as that, you know?"
"Is there a way... to get stronger Bloodline?" Ember questioned.
"Bloodline Stronger than the Dragon Lord...?" Vyriana raised her eyebrow.
"Yes." Ember, however, did not back down and nodded her head.
"Heh." A chuckle escaped Vyriana's mouth.
"Well, I guess there is a way. Get stronger than you currently are, without raising your cultivation level, that is. After all, the Dragon Trial gets harder as your Cultivation goes up."
"Getting stronger than this..." Ember started thinking. Honestly, she had no clue how to go forward after this. Mixing the Fire and Wind Element was the only option and she had been working on it for a long time now.
She had successfully mixed a few 10 and even 11 Star Spells and have raised her strength to another level, however, improving further than this...? How is she supposed to do that?
While Ember was thinking all of this, Vyriana questioned, "How about you train with us for the next few years before taking the Dragon Trials?"
"Huh?" Ember was surprised.
"Do you not want to?"
"I-It would be my pleasure, Lady Vyriana!" Ember was quick to accept.
How could she not? Someone like Vyriana offered to train her, she would be a fool to reject such an opportunity.
"Mhm, this girl needs a sparring partner as well, I am sure she is fed up with losing every single spar for the last 20 years."
Vyriana smiled as she glanced at Astaria. Astaria just moved her head away, not willing to face her Master.
"It won't take much time for me to defeat her either," Ember spoke up.
"Keep dreaming." Astaria snorted.
"I can defeat you with my eyes closed."
"I highly doubt that." Ember retorted.
"Mhm, I doubt that as well." Vyriana nodded her head.
"..."
Astaria didn't know what to say.
"Alright Alright, don't bully my wife anymore."
Suddenly, a Portal appeared right behind Astaria and a black-haired, golden-eyed man walked in with a playful smile on his face.
Astaria's expression changed, however, before she could react, Nux pulled her into his embrace, the words that were about to come from her mouth were trapped, Astaria simply closed her eyes and left all her body weight on Nux, enjoying this warm and comfortable feeling after a long long time.
Nux then glanced at Ember, who was looking at him with a shocked look on her face and,
"What are you waiting for? I need my hug."
"NUX!"
As those words were said, Ember shot towards Nux, jumping right into his embrace. For some reason, her high speed got slower right before she reached Nux and without disturbing Astaria, whose head was lying on Nux's left chest, Ember's head fell on Nux's right chest.
Nux patted their heads with a gentle smile on his face, the longing in his eyes as he saw his wives...
50 years...
He had spent 50 years without these beautiful angels around him.
For now, he wanted nothing more than just spending more time with his wives, but,
"You..."
Vyriana, who was looking at. Nux, had a big frown on her face.
