True King's Ecstasy



Velian came close to Valerie cautiously, hoping he would be able to shake her hand and stab her from the back and the same can be said for Valerie, who had her own plans.

But before both of them can do that, they heard the ear-deafening sound of Aurora, which caused both of them to go back in caution with their weapons ready to attack.

"Aurora!" Velian's mind was running havoc, as he quickly identified the voice and he knew, these games and mind games, heading have time to do them.

"I have to find her!" Velian thought and waved his sword, for the first time after a long time.

The same sword that he found in the dragon cave, which could cut through the dimension.

"What?" Valerie realised something was wrong, and when she looked at Velian again she saw him a lot more far away from him than he was supposed to be.

"What just happened?" She questioned in confusion.

But then she realised it must be the work of Velian's sword.

"It somehow manages to push him far away from me, or push me away," She came to the realisation of its power, showing that she wasn't a fool with only brute power going for her.

"But why?" She questioned but by tracking Velian's eyesight, she managed to understand why he would take the risk of creating a distance between them.

"Worried about the little girl, huh?" The moment she took one step forward, she felt like she went two or three steps backwards, which caused her to become a little annoyed by this technique.

With determination in his eyes, he sprinted toward the direction where the intense battle between Aurora, the young daughter dragon, and White Other, the colossal white heavenly tiger, unfolded.

Holding Valerie tightly on the leash and keeping a distance, he pressed on, driven by a mix of worry and anticipation.

"Aurora! Please be okay," Velian kept muttering the same thing while visiting her.

Finally arriving at the scene, Velian's eyes widened in astonishment seeing the spectacle in front of him.

Aurora's petite body had undergone a dramatic transformation, evolving into a more mature form. Her once gentle demeanour had given way to an untamed ferocity that radiated from her eyes. She fought with a relentless frenzy as if she had been consumed by a maddening madness.

"What the hell, Aurora!" Velian gasped, his voice laden with both concern and awe. "What has become of you? Is she okay?"

As the battle raged on, the clash of claws against fur and the resounding roars filled the air.

Valerie's grip tightened around Velian's magic, her gaze fixed upon the chaotic spectacle unfolding before them.

She quickly realised how to break his spell and approach Jim, but even she was surprised by the fight in front of her. Because she thought as soon as White Other meet Aurora, it will kill her, but looking at the situation, she understood that Aurora was no easy opponent.

"Velian, what's happening to her? She looks completely different," Valerie questioned, her voice laced with worry.

She didn't want to kill a child that has nothing to do with it, but looking at her now, she knew Aurora might become a great danger in her path.

Velian tore his gaze away from the tumultuous fight to meet Valerie's concerned eyes and felt weird because why would she even care about others when she is the one who caused the problem in the first place?

"I'm not sure. But something has changed within her. She's become a wild force, fighting with a fervour I've never seen before." He answered pretending to be friendly, but he was finding for an open spot to stab her.

Unfortunately, Velian knew she was on her guard because of how she held her sword ready to block his attacks.

They watched in a mixture of admiration and apprehension as Aurora's newfound power unleashed devastating attacks upon the formidable White Other.

The little dragon's scales shimmered with an otherworldly radiance, her movements fluid and swift.

"I fear that Aurora's power has awakened something primal within her," Velian murmured, his voice laced with a mix of trepidation and admiration.

"She fights with the fury of a dragon gone wild as if she has tapped into ancient, untamed magic. Ask your beast to retreat, otherwise, things won't end up peacefully,"

Valerie looked at Celian with her eyes squinted and then she turned back to her beast, which was struggling with the little dragon's berserk attacks.

"White Other, take her hostage, don't let her run away or kill her,"

Hearing her orders, Velian quickly looked at Valerie with his eyes showing pure anger.

"What is the meaning of this, what do you think you're doing?" He knew Valerie wasn't stupid and his plans are not working with her.

"You know why I did it Velian, after duelling with you, I can understand your personality, you're not someone that would respect rules, you only do follow them because they protect your family,"

Valerie's words were indeed truth, but that doesn't excuse her from trying to kill his beloved daughter and pushing her so much, that she is actually hurting herself.

"Aurora! Can you hear me? Return back! Come back to me, I will protect you," Velian shouted, but he got no answer and annoying him even more, every time Velian cut the dimension, Valerie managed to escape it causing her to get rather close to him.

"Let's end this! Velian you will obey me from now on, I'm done dealing with you, once your daughter is under me, you will have to give up for life,"

Velian looked frustrated, but he saw a silver lining in the dark clouds, as Aurora's eyes gained the colours back with crystal-like tears falling from them, as soon as she saw Velian standing next to her.

White Other tried to attack her, but even before it could use its power, Aurora ran in Velian direction like a lightning bolt hugging his body like a touch-depraved koala, wrapping her whole body against his face and crying hugging him.

"Daddy! I thought you were injured! I saw a vision of you, *Sobs, I won't let you go, I will protect you," Her words melted Velian's heart, but right now it wasn't the time for the father and daughter bonding.

"Right! I have been trying to push her away, but what if I fight with her by my side, she's a strong girl after all," As soon as he said this, White Other jumped and stood beside Valerie.
