Matthew and Raisya were standing in front of the cave while waving at Platinum and Guinevere who were flying away. Once they were far away, Matthew put down his hand and Raisya did the same.“Didn’t really feel like I just met the queen of elves.” Matthew said.“Well, she didn’t come as the queen anyway, rather just a friend that Plat brought.” Raisya said. “So, what do you plan on doing now?”“I think I’ll go with Queen Guinevere’s suggestion. Gain trust, get stronger, prove my worth. Then, I’ll find Rose.”“I see. How do you plan on gaining trust though?” Raisya asked as she turned around to go back into the cave.Matthew followed her suit. “I have no idea to be honest. I’ll mull it over though. For now, all I can do is keep training. To declare myself as a Dragon Emperor, I need the power to prove it, right?”Raisya nodded as if she expected this. "Huh, that's right.”“Then I’ll be in your care, grandma. I at least want to beat you if I want to do this.”“Heh! Good luck with that.
Boom!A wooden statue was exploded into tiny pieces that scattered around.Sploosh~Another melted like liquid after being covered with dark green goo.Shing! Splash! Bam! Froom!More wooden statues were destroyed in many manners of attacks. Invisible wind blades, powerful blasts of water, earth spikes and infernos. It was not just the statues but the area nearby was also affected by these attacks.All of these magic based attacks were casted by a single person. It was a girl with bright pink hair and she had a red left eye and a pink right eye. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail and she wore simple casual clothing. Rose dropped her hand down after she finished casting all those spells. She was gasping lightly.“Nicely done.” A man’s voice came from behind her.He had long black hair that was neatly combed back and he had dark green eyes. He was wearing a black and green tracksuit and was walking towards Rose.“The speed of your casts have increased. The way I taught you is easier,
“[Crimson Burst Slash]!”Tens of slashes were instantly released in the blink of an eye. Those slashes cut a stone pole into many pieces. The pieces fell to the ground with heavy thuds.Rain sheathed his sword back into its scabbard and exhaled. He frowned at the result that he got. He was disappointed.“I’ve been training for months but I feel like I haven’t made any progress at all. These dummies can’t be a benchmark for me.” Rain looked at all the destroyed training equipment laid around.He remembered the time when he fought against Crymillia. He thought that he put up a good fight at first. He just couldn’t find a way to finish the fight. He thought that he could somehow overcome Crymillia. He was wrong.Crymillia showed her true power. The menacing aura Rain felt at that moment froze him in place. He couldn’t move due to fear. Rain felt goosebumps every time he recalled that feeling. A presence stronger than even the Colossi who were considered legendary beasts.“Even when fight

Boom! Boom! Crackle! Bam!Explosions, shockwaves and sparks of electricity were flying all over the place. A fight suddenly broke out when Rain came and saw Matthew. Rain had been releasing multiple high class spells and Matthew was able to either block, parry or evade them.Matthew had heightened his senses and perception to match Rain’s speed. It was astonishing to Rain, though he should have expected this. The fact that Matthew was blocking and parrying his attacks were impressive enough. Matthew had covered his arms in scales to protect himself when doing so.(Even Sara had trouble dealing with him. He definitely has more power and speed than me as of now. But I didn’t train all this while for nothing!)“[Crimson Burst Slash]!”In an instant, tens of slashes were released at Matthew. Matthew was able to completely cover his body in scales and tank the attack. Immediately after he took the attack head on, Matthew did a counter attack.Matthew gathered astra into his right fist and-
It was snowing lightly in the morning. Matthew was just about done packing up his necessities. He slung the scabbard of his sword on his back before putting his backpack on.Matthew looked outside through the window. He could see the forest of leafless trees that went on for miles. The ravine was also visible from his room. He had been there several times during his training here.Raisya had been teaching him how to fight and astral control during one while Platinum taught him about magic since he had some capacity of magic capability. The chimaera siblings were also trained alongside him as well Chloe and although their growth was rapid, Matthew was exponentially growing compared to them.Matthew looked at his scaly right arm. His arm transformed into a dragon-like limb when he forcefully used too much power. Now it is stuck like that.“[Mirage]” Matthew casted a spell that he remembered.It was a spell that casted an illusion over his body so that he would appear like a normal human
Cave Mouth, The Dwarven Kingdom Entrance City.It was a city at the mouth of the cave that led to the inner parts of Dwarven Kingdom. Almost the entire of the kingdom was underground since it was a nation that exports 40% of the world’s mining product. Dwarves were excellent craftsmen and had made many great weapons and equipment, including the cannons that were used in most nations except for the Elven Kingdom.Cave Mouth was a city that acted as a guardpost before entering the kingdom. Since mining products were very important in many industries, the security was very tight and the guards posted there were elites with special equipment for detecting any suspicious characters. As the most wanted man, Matthew would immediately be detained if he was caught.“That’s why I prepared this.” Rain showed a metallic card that wrote-“Mercenary Association?” Matthew read what was written.Matthew, Rain, Potolo, Bartolo and Mala were currently standing in a line of people who wanted to enter th
At night at the bar, people filled the tables and seats to the point that it was packed. Matthew, Rain, Potolo, Bartolo and Mala were sitting on the second floor at a table with another two short but stout figures. They were dwarves clad in business attire.(Why did we wait until night to meet these guys?) Matthew thought but didn’t voice it.“It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr Sky.” One of the dwarves extended a hand to Rain.“A pleasure as well.” Rain accepted the hand and shook it firmly.“I see that you did not come alone. Who are these people, if I may ask?”“They are capable mercenaries I hired.” Rain said while taking a single glance at the others beside him.“You hired mercenaries?” The dwarf was probably suspicious of it. Of course he would. Why would a top rank Hunter hire some mercenaries to help?“By her majesty the Elf Queen’s order. Also, having a few extra hands is convenient.” Rain kept it simple and convincing enough for the dwarves to accept it.The pair of dwarves gla
