…

Once again, it wasn't a memorable status, unlike Ysal.

"Okay, now that we're all friends, how about we actually get to know each other. And you, the person who was just revived, you better act better; otherwise, I'll make your life a living hell," Ysal said as her tone soon shifted into a deadly serious one.

Everybody in the room introduced themselves, and as soon the last person had finished, Ysal let out a long and deep sigh.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Just a bit stressed… How about we spar each other. We hadn't fought before because we never had the time, but now that all of our responsibilities have practically left and we still have a bit more time before they invade, let's test out each other's skills,"

"Sure, I don't mind, but where are we going to do it? I doubt they have a training room in this confined place," I responded, but Ysal just gave me a cheeky smile before gesturing for everybody to push back.

"Seriously? You want to do it here?" I chuckled, and Ysal gave me no time to warm up like a beam of light went through my hand.

Luckily, I reacted fast enough to place my hand in front of my face because if I didn't, my face would be no more.

"Why are you trying to kill me?" I muttered before the hole in my hand eerily regenerated at such speed that everybody around me was still shocked, even after I displayed so much power previously.

"Shut up and fight me," Ysal responded as she dashed in and landed a punch straight on my shoulder.

Before, I wasn't really taking it seriously, but after noticing how fast she was, I clicked my tongue before actually trying in this fight.

FWOOSH

I took a flash step right into Ysal's guard and then uppercutting her in the chin, sending her flying back, but I wasn't done as I quickly followed up with an ax kick straight to the stomach.

As soon as she landed on the ground, coughing up golden blood, I sighed.

"Let's stop this here. I don't want to hurt you anymore- Holy shit!" I shouted as the ground under me suddenly disappeared, and I was hurled into a dark pit.

I wasn't even able to use my wings as they strangely disappeared with the rest of the world around me.

But strangely, everything around me was dark, as if the abyss had enveloped things, so I quickly calmed myself down before spreading a large dose of dark red flames.

The illusion around me broke, but just as I reawakened back in the throne room, Ysal's fist had already collided with my face, sending me flying backward and crashing into a large pillar.

"YSAL! YOU'RE GOING TO BREAK ALL THE SHIT IN THIS ROOM!" The drake king angrily shouted, but she just ignored it as she followed up with a knee to my throat.

She really wasn't showing any mercy towards me.

Her fatal mistake, though, was not backing up after the knee since she went for a kick with her opposite leg, which I caught and set on fire with pitch-black flames.

FWOOSH FWOOSH FWOOSH

I swung her around like a mace before throwing her across the room and letting the dark flames burn her skin to a crisp.

But, just as I thought, her regeneration was too good, and her newly formed cells ate away at the dark flames, only after adjusting to it, though.

"HUFF… HUFF… HUFF… Alright, that's enough. I think I'm warmed up now," Ysal muttered, and after giving me a glare for a few seconds, she walked away.

Her exit was made in silence as the entire room was speechless at the small spar we just had.

"Am I… Am I in the wrong?" I asked everybody around me, and they didn't even reply as they gave me fearful glares.

If the atrocious sight from before didn't traumatize them, this definitely did as they all slowly backed away into the hallways leading to the throne room.

Even the king was a bit fearful as a drop of sweat ran down his cheek.

"It's alright. I won't request for a position as general or a commander, and I just want to help this place out… but don't put me under anybody's authority," I said before quickly chasing after Ysal, who I was worried was mad at me.

But seriously?! Why is she mad at me?! ME?! She wanted the spar, and she wanted to take it seriously! SO WHY ME!?

As I cursed internally, I suddenly hit a brick wall, and as I fell back onto my butt and was ready to curse it out, my lips pursed, and my pupils dilated.

"H-Hey Ysal… Did you… Are you mad at me? Did I do something wrong?" I asked as I stood back up and gave her a fearful hug.

Her glare practically dug into my skin, and as I tried to avoid as much eye contact with her, that was truly impossible because she was locked onto my pupils.

No, it didn't even feel like she was staring at my eyes but my very soul itself.

"I-I'm sorry," I muttered, and I heard Ysal audibly sigh, making me flinch a bit since her heavy breath grazed against the back of my neck.

"It's fine… I was in the wrong, so don't apologize. I just got a bit heated, that's all,"
