Chapter 204: Chapter 204
Back at Sylphid Academy, precisely inside of Principal Helga’s artificial space, suddenly all three of Principal Helga’s clones raised their head up into the artificial sky. “I think that’s all of you”, they spoke at the same time to the armoured woman, the blue-haired female soldier and to Sydney. Then, all three of Principal Helga’s clones snapped her fingers, shattering the space around them, bringing the trio of the armoured woman, the blue-haired female soldier and Sydney back to her office. “So, how does it feel?” Principal Helga’s main body asked the trio while resting her face on her hands. “Feel what?” the armoured woman squinted.
“To get stronger in just a few minutes”, Principal Helga let out a mysterious smile. “Few minutes?” Sydney furrowed her eyebrows. “But that’s impossible”, added the blue-haired female soldier, “There is no way all of that was just a few minutes”, she retorted. The armoured woman stayed silent, but she too was curious just as her subordinate was. “It is not impossible. You could say that it is the advantage of being one of the oldest mages in the world right now. Let’s just say I delve in many laws of magic”, Principal Helga explained shortly.
Principal Helga shook her head, “Enough about this. We can talk about it another day.” The armoured woman nodded, “So, we’re good to go?” Principal Helga nodded while smiling softly, “Go and bring our people back here.” The armoured woman turned away, “Let us go and prepare.” Principal Helga watched the armoured woman, the blue-haired female soldier, and the white-haired, brown-skinned woman leave her office with newfound confidence. She could not help but smile at the three of them, “I hope you three are enough. Somehow, I still have a bad feeling about all this.”

The red-haired woman looked down at a kneeling, raven-haired young man, “Is that all?” she said while wiping the blood on her lips and slightly panting. The raven-haired young man was, of course, Eru. Eru smiled wryly at the red-haired woman while gripping his black sword tightly, “Nope”, Eru threw his black sword towards the red-haired woman. The latter swayed her body slightly, avoiding Eru’s black sword. After that, Eru rammed the red-haired woman with his shoulder before throwing her away, “Not even close. I can do this all day”, Eru said, imitating a famous line from one of his favourite characters back on Earth.
The red-haired woman managed to stabilize herself in the air. Then, the red-haired woman stood in the air with an upright posture while crossing her arms, “Heh, I like men with stamina”, she licked her lips. “Unfortunately for you, lady, I’m already taken”, Eru quipped before sending multiple aura blades. “Even better”, the red-haired woman parried all of Eru’s aura blades with her hands, “I love taking other people’s belongings.” Eru sent out a large aura blade before disappearing from his spot. While the red-haired woman dealt with the large aura blade, Eru reappeared right above the red-haired woman, “I told you no, you fucking pervert” Eru cursed as his black sword slowly encroached on the red-haired woman’s head.
“Aw, you’re going to hurt my heart”, the red-haired woman quipped. She caught Eru’s black sword with her left hand while her right hand was grabbing Eru’s large aura blade. Eru let out a smirk, “Don’t you learn from our previous encounter, pervert?” Eru’s black sword started to vibrate in high-frequency. “Fuck”, the red-haired woman cursed. She was about to let go of Eru’s black sword. “Too late”, Eru said as his black sword managed to cut the red-haired woman’s left hand. The red-haired woman stepped back; she clutched her left hand while glaring hatefully at Eru, “You and that accursed sword!” she growled.
Then, the red-haired woman’s left hand glowed green, and before long, her left hand was as good as new. “That ability of yours”, Eru pointed his black sword at the red-haired woman, “Is so fucking annoying”, he said before flapping his raven-coloured wings, flying straight towards the red-haired woman. The red-haired woman braced herself in the air, lowering her posture; the red-haired woman took a wide stance, “Not as annoying as your black sword”, the red-haired woman quipped. After that, the red-haired woman clashed once again with Eru in the air, battling for control over their own space.
“You know, battling against you is fun”, the red-haired woman said while increasing her own power. “Keep on entertaining me like this”, the red-haired woman’s attack became even faster right after she said that. “Guh”, Eru grunted while trying his best to fend off the red-haired woman’s fast attacks. “What’s wrong?” the red-haired woman smirked, “Where’s that smug face of yours?” she taunted. Eru clicked his tongue, “Tch, trash talk while you can” Eru parried the last punch from the red-haired woman before using that momentum to slash the red-haired woman’s torso.
Instead of catching Eru’s black sword by its blade, the red-haired woman this time grabbed Eru’s hand that was holding the black sword. The red-haired woman then twisted Eru’s hand, swinging him around before throwing him away towards a nearby wall. “Guh”, Eru coughed blood as his body was buried in the wall. But, the red-haired woman was not done just yet. She chased Eru down, delivering a knee towards Eru’s torso. After that, the red-haired woman grabbed Eru by his head, throwing him again to the air. Then, the red-haired woman used the wall to leapt towards Eru before delivering a barrage of strikes on Eru. Eru’s expression contorted with pain while the red-haired woman grabbed Eru’s leg.
“Hahahaha”, the red-haired woman laughed maniacally before throwing Eru right back to the ground. The red-haired woman kicked the air, propelling herself towards Eru with inhuman speed. Eru shook himself of his pain as he managed to roll away before being stomped by the red-haired woman. Then, Eru mustered his strength to flap his raven-coloured wings to immediately escape from danger and recuperate himself. Eru glared at the red-haired woman with squinting eyes. “Hah, hah, hah”, Eru panted while wiping the blood that was on his mouth, “That woman is freakishly strong”, he mumbled, clutching his chest in pain and exhaustion.
“In order to escape this situation, I have no choice”, Eru steeled himself as he watched the red-haired woman was closing in on him. “Overlaying Eruken with the Dragon Force Technique will not be a fun thing to deal with afterwards. Well, if I don’t do this, there will be no afterwards”, Eru said to himself. When the red-haired woman was just about to reach Eru, the latter suddenly exploded with power. Eru’s explosion of power slightly caused the red-haired woman to be pushed back a little. The Dragon Force Technique that already elevated Eru’s prowess passed his limit was pushed further by Eru’s original technique, the Eruken.
The result? Well, immediately after activating the Eruken, Eru went to attack the red-haired woman with speed rivalling her own. “You are so full of surprise, aren’t you?” the red-haired woman said with joy in her expression, “To think that I, Zhu Rong, a 7th Grade Aura Master, is being equalled by a youth whose original level is a 4th Grade Aura Master. Amazing, amazing!” The red-haired woman praised. “Life is just full of surprises”, the red-haired woman marvelled as she and Eru exchanged blow for blow.

A few seconds earlier.
While Eru and the red-haired woman was fighting ferociously, the battle between Long and Meng Huo was tamed. Compared to Eru and the red-haired woman’s fierce exchange, Long was the one that mainly attacked Meng Huo in their battle. This was because Meng Huo continued to hold back his body whenever he could and let Long hit him freely without defending. When Eru was doubling his power with Eruken, both Long and Meng Huo looked towards the direction of Eru and the red-haired woman. Looking at Eru’s power that was continuing to rise, Meng Huo’s mouth was wide open. Dumbfounded, Meng Huo turned to Long for an answer, “What is with your friend?”
Long smiled, “That’s just how brother Eru is”, he spoke with pride, “You’ll get used to it the more you interact with the man.” Meng Huo raised one of his eyebrows, “You can’t do the same thing?” Long shook his head, “Who do you think I am? A freak? Even though he and I are both dragons, there is a clear distinction between a red dragon and a black dragon”, Long muttered. Meng Huo frowned, “Dragons? Did I hear correctly? Are the two of you dragons?” he asked with a flabbergasted look. “Duh”, Long slightly tilted his head, “Don’t you look at our transformation?” Long pointed at the red protective membrane around him.
“Huh, I thought it was just a secret technique”, Meng Huo rubbed his chin. “Of course, we are not yet adults, so our propper draconic form aren’t unlocked just yet”, Long explained. Then, something clicked inside of Meng Huo’s head, “I see. So that’s why you raged when you saw me earlier. That’s also explained why you looked at me with such hatred.” Then, Meng Huo used all of his willpower to bow towards Long, “I’m sorry.” Long raised his eyebrow, “For what?” Meng Huo shook her head with difficulty, “For desecrating your own kind with my presence.”
