What should I do now, I was facing another Dragon King one of the youngest ones from what I heard.

Today I wanted to take care of the cocoon, but Arash had other plans for me, according to him I needed to learn a lesson as a Dragon.

I didn't know what he wanted at first, but soon a man with golden hair and eyes appeared in front of me entering the Castle of Dragons through the window.

He wore simple clothes, but his charisma and good looks were incredible like that of a celebrity, he entered with speed and landed with grace.

His skin was white and delicate, his body didn't look very muscular, and nothing about his presence, demeanor, or appearance indicated him to be a fighter.

But I knew better than that, there are no Dragons that don't fight, the Dragon race are symbols of power for a reason, their entire race is built for completeness, and each Dragon is worth an army.

When he was inside the same room as me and Arash, the Dragon tucked in its scaly wings that looked like they were made of burnished gold they were so shiny as it winked at me.

"You're late, Fariel." (Arash)

"Sorry, I was solving a problem, people from a Human Realm came to find me." (Fariel)

"Weapons or Blessing?" (Arash)

"Blessing, I've given them a trial and sent one of my Priests to see how they're going to do it." (Fariel)

"Given another impossible task?" (Arash)

"I don't need their wins, what they are going to do could be done by my sister easily, I want to know how they are going to try, it doesn't matter if they succeed or not." (Fariel)

This Dragon spoke casually with Arash who was the Emperor of all Dragons, but now that I think about it, all Dragons act casually with him, the only one who seems to treat him with respect seems to be Ortiz, the one who welcomed us when we arrived.

While the two were talking I listened and I understood what they were talking about, I read many tales about Dragons before arriving here and I also read many of the books they have here.

Having people come to the Dragon Kings to ask for their blessings or a part of their bodies to be used as material for a weapon or armor is a normal thing to do if it happens.

Apart from monster Dragons, True Dragons cannot be hunted by Adventurers, one of the reasons is that True Dragons very rarely do something that harms others, there is also the question of Dragons of the same tribe protecting themselves, in other words, someone it would take enough power to fight an entire Dragon Tribe to even start thinking about doing something so foolish.

One thing is for sure, I read that many seek the Blessings of a Dragon, there are 3 types of these so-called Blessings, the first being a part of their bodies given as a gift or agreement, the second being the Awakening Ceremony in the individual doing all his potential to explode out.

The last thing would be the Seal of the Dragon, which can strengthen one comprehensively, I read that many Royal families from countless nations come for these blessings as it has a certain continuous effect for those of their future lineage. "Do as you wish, but I didn't call you for that, but because of him." (Arash)

"Red hair, different colored eyes, and a bizarre aura..." (Fariel)

"You must be the new Primordial, I've heard stories about you... I must say it does the stories justice." (Fariel)

"A pleasure to meet you, I'm Zenos." (I)

I noticed him moving and so I moved along with him going in a different direction, that's why the way he winked at me when he arrived and how he was looking at me for some time was more than suggestive.

"No need to run away, I was going to give you a hug..." (Fariel)

"I appreciate the affection, but I refuse..." (I)

"Fariel, I didn't call you here for this kind of thing." (Arash)

"You guys are very serious, I won't do anything with anyone younger than my sister, but you can't blame me for wanting to hug something so adorable." (Fariel)

"There's nothing adorable about this brat, so behave yourself." (Arash)

Arash explains that he called Fariel here to be my combat partner, he set up some fights for me against Fariel who was closest to my current power level.

I still don't know what Arash is trying to prove, as far as I can remember I've always been humble during training by following his commands, I've also never been proud or overconfident during any fight I've had so far in front of Arash.

I don't know what he wants or what he thinks of me, but it's clear as sunrise that he was thinking about something very specific and that's why he called him here, I just don't know if he's doing something against me or this other King Dragon.

He took us to a separate space near the Castle of the Dragon, apparently, they use it as a training area for the Dragons.

Arash only took me and this other Dragon King along to this place, as soon as we entered I realized that there was no one around.

As soon as we arrived I realized that there were no other Dragons around, there wasn't much inside the separate space itself either.

As soon as we enter Arash explains some rules, the first was that we shouldn't do anything like using magic, Spiritual Runes, using Skills, and especially using magic items, we couldn't even use weapons or armor.

When he said that, I didn't think he was joking, but at the same time I thought about how I should fight, I have combat techniques that I practice every day after I wake up, a Martial Art that I created myself in my time as a game developer.

But even so, I spent more time training this unarmed fighting style than actually using it in combat, even my weapons which are a dagger and a sword are things I use less and less as my strength increases. I was never a master of dagger or swordsmanship, I was never a master of Martial Arts either, so as my enemies were getting stronger and harder to kill, I realized that the level of damage I needed to deal wasn't as simple as destroying them a vital point.

I myself can keep fighting even if my heart is destroyed and my brain injured, so the use of spells and skills become more and more important.

A Dragon doesn't have many weaknesses, to begin with, and a Dragon King doesn't have any that can be exploited other than the disadvantage of an opposing element.

The two of us are positioned facing each other while Arash stands in the middle talking.

"I may not have had any of that so far, but I hope you understand, no using your Authorities, just using your Auras and body." (Arash)

"I don't understand, what's the point of this training?" (I)

"You will know in the end." (Arash)

"This training is clearly going to help him, but what's in it for me?" (Fariel)

"An enemy of the same rank to fight, I know has spent little time in combat in the last century." (Arash)

"I have to train my children, if I let their mother or my sister do the training they might not survive." (Fariel)

"Now they're big enough to find their own ways of training, so go back to taking care of yourself." (Arash)

"I almost forgot to say because you keep interrupting me, but no transformations into your Dragon forms or use of Familiars, just use your Human forms." (Arash)

"Commence the combat." (Arash)

He and I were listening to Arash, but by the time he disappeared from our path, we were already running towards each other.

The first thing we did was a fight with just our fists, the rhythm of our blows started out slow and it was easy to dodge being just facing each other with a few centimeters away.

But as time went on, not only did the pace of the fight get faster as we became more confident in our understanding of the other person's capabilities.

None of us had managed to capitalize on our power in effective attacks, but the more the pace of our strikes got stronger and faster, making it harder and harder to dodge.

"(This is going to be hard...)" (I)

Pov Karina:

I was inside the Dungeon now, in one of the Temple Communal Rooms on the city floor.

I was standing on the edge of a lake of Zenos' blood, I brought Zenos's Dragon Seal here for two reasons, the first was to absorb the power needed to activate something of that ability.

I don't think even Zenos is capable of doing something like that, unfortunately, he's not in the habit of letting something dangerous deter his curiosity, so I'm here.

His statue is in the middle of the lake of blood, Zenos didn't notice, but this statue has been collecting his excess vitality by generating more blood to fill the lake, like a holy spring, his blood has helped the townspeople a lot.

But now I've thrown the Dragon Seal into this lake that's drying up to the last drop and the more time passes I realize it's going to take more than just 1 day.

"I must get his help..." (I)
