When my mind pictured a certain place, I felt a tug on my clothes. My confused eyes turned to Elize’s side. For so reason, a nervous look appeared on Elize’s face.
Another side of Elize, different from her previous self, revealed itself to . I couldn’t understand why Elize was showing such a nervous expression in front of . Even though I was curious, I decided to open my mouth and ask about Elize’s concerns.
"Cien, can I go back first? I’ll co back in 3 days. I don’t want to et that monster..."
"You an my mother-in-law? Don’t be afraid. I will help you overco your fear of facing her."
I was a little surprised after learning that Elize was afraid of Lilith. But considering Lilith’s reputation as one of the strongest dragons in the Dragon Realm, I didn’t find it strange that even soone like Elize considered Lilith to be a terrifying figure.
Even I couldn’t act presumptuously when dealing with Lilith. My instincts subconsciously regarded Lilith as a dangerous threat. Maybe that was also the reason why I had the least interaction with Lilith while living in the castle.
Neither Lilith nor I had ever spoken to each other at all, apart from when Athena invited to dinner with the other family mbers. It’s just that Lucius was soone who posed absolutely no threat to . But as a future son-in-law, I had to show my respect when dealing with my future father-in-law.
"I hope so. But... just rembering it makes feel sick." An ugly expression began to appear on Elize’s face. The incident where Elize and Athena went to et Lilith ca back to her mind again. It was by no ans a beautiful mory for Elize.
Every ti it rained blood, the corpses of various powerful species fell from the sky and reached the ground. Everything that happened in the past had beco a terrifying story among the younger generation. For so reason, Elize’s fear of Lilith returned much stronger than before.
Elize’s grip on my clothes started to beco very tight. The fear Elize felt at that mont unknowingly spread and reached the depths of my consciousness. Luckily, Athena noticed the change in expression between Elize and .
"You two... please don’t think badly of our mother. Our mother is a good woman. Even though she has a cold personality, she truly loves her children and the citizens of the Dragonia Kingdom."
Taking a deep breath, the worry Elize had felt before disappeared from her heart and returned to normal. Likewise, I completely regained my composure.
"Okay. We will speed up our journey now. You all should get on my mount." Athena’s black dragon form appeared in front of , and then the two won beside began to climb onto her. The size of Athena’s dragon form far exceeded that of ordinary dragons. The height of Athena’s dragon form was enough to rival adult dragons and was larger than most mountains.
No words of protest ca out of Elize’s and Shelia’s mouths. Since they had absolutely no problem riding on Athena’s dragon form, I decided to sit with them. The wind blowing against my face made unable to stop thinking back to the mont Athena and I first t.
What was happening now had also happened in the past. I, who was previously an ordinary man saved by Athena, had once been allowed to ride on the body of her dragon form. Therefore, I felt a great sense of longing after more than two years of not sitting on Athena’s dragon form.
Half an hour passed. Elize, Athena, Shelia, and I had returned to the Dragonia Kingdom. After almost 6 months of not returning to the Dragonia Kingdom, I felt sothing I hadn’t experienced in a long ti.
The days I had gone through during this half year had not been pleasant at all. Regaining the freedom I had long forgotten greatly increased my happiness. A slightly guilty expression began to appear on Elize’s face.
Everything that had happened during this half year was also Elize’s fault. But it was also part of the training Elize had given , and she wouldn’t let visit the outer parts of the wilderness. Even though Elize felt great guilt after locking up alone in a quiet and lonely place, she knew that this was the only way for to increase my strength very quickly.
An explosion was heard from the castle side of the palace. Laser shots appeared and were prepared to attack from the front. Without paying attention to the reactions of the citizens of the Dragonia Kingdom, I imdiately blocked the laser attack that was preparing to strike .
My human form changed into my Dragonoid Transformation form. A giant hand resembling that of a great dragon appeared in the sky and blocked the laser attack aid at . For so reason, the expressions of Elize and Athena did not show any signs of worry at all.
A worried look crossed Shelia’s face. She couldn’t possibly suppress her worry after seeing her brother-in-law being struck by such a powerful attack. It wasn’t that Shelia doubted my strength after I had grown much stronger. On the contrary, she simply didn’t want to get hurt because of a powerful sneak attack launched by soone irresponsible.
"Heh...? Little brat, you have actually grown much stronger! Even your dragon transformation has improved far more than when you first showed it." A middle-aged man in a black robe appeared, floating opposite Athena and the others. The current Dragon King, Lucius La. Lucifer, couldn’t hide his proud expression at all after seeing the progress I had achieved during this half year.
Lucius’s sense of pride in the developnt of his future son-in-law had risen even higher than the last ti he t . The rapid growth I was showing right now was far beyond Lucius’s expectations. At first, Lucius had thought I wouldn’t be able to block his attack with just one hand.
What Lucius thought of my current developnt was no different from an ant evolving into a beetle capable of flying at any ti. Luckily, what Lucius had hoped for—my extraordinary growth—had completely co true. However, my fight with the young master of the Vermillion family was by no ans an ordinary battle.
