"Ehem." Someone cleared their throat. Oh, I forgot about the girl. "Miss Avallona, my apologies, I didn't see you there," Isabella uttered. Oh, they know each other? Avallona faced Isabella with a smile and bowed slightly. "It's fine, Seventh-Rank Isabella, the Sagacious Warrior." Then Avallona smiled softly at me and grabbed my hand. "Miss Arielle, it's nice meeting you again. So, I guess I see you around?" she said with a sweet smile.Oh, wow. I never knew a vermillion's beauty was out of this world. Avallona looks cold on the outside, but she's actually a softie. I can feel it. Hmm, this girl is not so bad. Perhaps I could befriend her. "Oh, yeah, sure!" I replied with a smile. "Adieu," She turned and walked toward her companion. I couldn't take my eyes off her red hair as they swayed gracefully as she walked.Then I snapped to my senses when Isabella cleared her throat. "What's with the title, Isa?" I asked, confused.I never knew Isabella was a Sagacious Warrior. She's so coo
The battle between Avallona and Kane lasted for another 30 minutes. They both persisted until one of them could barely move.Avallona also suffered some injuries but not fatal."I won, bastard birdbrain!" she yelled after doing a thrusting strike to Kane's head, causing the latter to faint. Her last explosive strike caught Kane off guard.Avallona transformed back to her human form and walked away from the stage after the host announced the result of the battle.The crowd cheered for Avallona, but others felt bad for Kane.I stared at the departing Avallona and realized she was limping a bit. She might have been hurt from the last strike since she's using too much force on her feet.Oh well, it's not my business."Avallona is getting better. She must've worked hard to grow stronger than Kane." Isabella murmured."What's Avallona's current ranking?" I asked, curious."She's ranked ten now since she defeated Kane. That girl finally made it to the top ten of the Youth Leader Board.""She
The following day.The duel continued, and I climbed through the rank with little effort. My case was special since the elders were watching. They allowed me to challenge anyone as many as I wanted throughout the day since I defeated every opponent with one move.Everyone gave me a title, and they called me, "One-Strike Warrior," and "The Undefeated Warrior."And just now, I defeated the rank eleventh. Everyone was cheering my name as I walked onto the stage in front of the top ten, who were seated on the platform above the stage.My lips twitched and almost groaned at the noisy surroundings. Therefore, I don't like showing my strength, but I can't lose face in front of the elders who are watching my every move right now.I stood in the middle of the stage while looking at the platform where the top ten were seated. I met Avallona's gaze, and she smiled at me. Oh, she was now in fourth rank.This afternoon was particular since the elders arranged something for me. They must've realize
Ah, I regret transforming just now. I shouldn't have done it. It's too late though.I cleared my throat and transformed back into my form earlier—my human form with white dragon wings.When I did that, the crowd came back to their senses and went into an uproar."You're an idiot!" a voice boomed in my head. It's Isabella!I pouted. "Stop staring at me like that!" I grumbled, and the trio cleared their throats bashfully."S-So... you're a White Dragon?" the black dragon uttered like an idiot.I rolled my eyes. "Wasn't it obvious?""Hm, it's my first time seeing a White Dragon..." the black dragon and the winged tiger uttered.I creased my forehead in confusion. Isn't Leonora Moon a white dragon as well? Oh, right? Perhaps they didn't see her before. That explains.Does that mean I'm the only White Dragon in this land except for the missing Leonora? That's strange. Oh, isn't the Great Divine Dragon Americus a white dragon as well? What's my connection with them? It wasn't a coincidence
Now, Isabella looks at me with a complicated expression."I didn't expect you to be a half-wolf. I don't even smell your wolf blood. Now that you said you were a half-wolf, I can smell your faint wolf blood. I wonder why..." she said while frowning.I hummed. "Actually, my inner wolf was in a deep sleep. Because of that, I couldn't even transform into my wolf form." Well, that's because I still don't remember my inner wolf's name. However, I have a feeling that I could wake her up soon."Was that even possible?" she frowned and pondered."You know I couldn't use my cold flame, right? That's because of my inner wolf. If I wake her up, I could use my cold flame at will." I said forlornly.Silence fell throughout the room. Suddenly, Isabella squeezed my hand that was resting on the table. "Ari, I hated werewolves, but you are an exception. I hope you remember that. Our friendship is more important than that.""Thank you, Isa." I felt relieved and beamed.She smiled and then turned solemn
A month later, we were finally halfway through our destination. We've crossed mountains, rivers, and lakes. Though the journey was long, we still enjoyed our adventures. There are many things to do in the forest.Furthermore, all the ordinary beasts we encountered surrendered to me. There were some unscrupulous beasts, and they fought back. In the end, they became the victims of my cold flame.The first time I used my cold flame, it terrified me and the others. Isabella told me that my cold flame was more terrifying than Leonora's.During our journey, Avallona taught me a few techniques to control my cold flame. She even learned new techniques from me when I finally had the hang of my cold flame. We had a lot of fun, and we all became closer.Eloise even acts like a baby toward me. Well, even though Eloise is older than me by two years, I always thought of her as my little sister. I enjoy having her around, and I kind of miss Rowan in her presence. They had the same vibe, playful and
"Ha-ha! Boss, these girls were all beautiful! After we used them all, we could still sell them at a high price!" the werewolves guffawed wickedly.Disgusting! "You disgusting ugly creatures!" the girls said with contempt and gagged as if they wanted to vomit.The burly man, or the leader of the gang, glared at us sharply. Then he smirked and said devilishly, "I can't wait to see you beg for mercy later."He looked at me and said, "You, beautiful lady, smell delicious. I can't wait to get a taste of you!" His minions cackled and licked their lips.Ugh, they smell awful.The burly man looked ugly, and the smirk on his face vexed me. His words disgust me so much I want to rip his tongue out. "In your dreams, ugly and smelly monkey!" I retorted in disdain and gagged, pretending to vomit.His face darkened, and he snarled, "Bitxh! Who are you calling an ugly and smelly monkey?!""You?" I rebuked with a snort. Isabella and the others burst into laughter. The vampire man and the woman in re
Rosheen's eyes widened. "V-Violetta? You followed me?!"The woman rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her busty chest. My eyes lingered there, and when I looked at mine, I pursed my lips. I saw the other girls do the same.We are not flat-chested, but the woman has a big busty chest and the buttons on her blouse are about to pop."Damn those big boobs!" Rosheen pursed her lips with furrowed eyebrows and groaned. I looked at her chest and stifled a laugh.I just noticed that Rosheen was flat-chested. When she saw everyone stifle a laugh, she stomped her feet like a kid and puffed her cheeks.Even the serious woman stifled a laugh."V-Violetta! You dare make fun of me?!""Ehem. Did I?" the woman feigned ignorance and whistled."Pfft." Everyone stifled a laugh.Rosheen stomped her feet and walked away. "You can all die laughing! I'm going on my own!" she grumbled and walked faster.We stifled a laugh and followed her. The woman seems amused. She faced us and said with a faint smile
