Blink—Blink.
Berthdolt's eyelids fluttered open, his vision hazy. The first thing he saw was Anon, standing over him with a cigar lazily tucked at the corner of his mouth.
Puff.
"Hello, Sleeping Beauty." Anon smirked, his tone dripping with arrogance as he pressed his boot against Berthdolt's nose.
"You… damn demon," Berthdolt snarled, struggling to rise, his body trembling with weakness. "Do you even know… who I am?"
Anon's eyes glowed faintly, a dangerous light swirling within them. He flicked his cigar aside and stepped back, his smile mocking, almost divine in its contempt.
"What's wrong? Stand up. Weren't you supposed to be a mighty dragon? Or did you just grow those scales to chase helpless girls ?" Anon spoke as he placed his cigar against his nose.
"I-I will burn you to the ground!" Berthdolt roared, forcing his broken body to stand, his pride refusing to bow.

Gasps erupted among the crowd of students and teachers watching from the distance.
"Oh my god… that's the demonic dragon…"
"Why is he even standing against him?!"
"Isn't that the guy who defeated a professor earlier today?"
"He's dead already! That isn't just so dragon. That's Berthdolt—the King of the Demonic Dragon Clan. Even the king talks to him with respect!"
One of the teachers sneered coldly, eyes locked on Anon. "He's simply inviting death for dinner."
---
Berthdolt's breath trembled as his chest rose and fell. His thoughts boiled with rage.
'Impossible. A re insect… breaking through my defenses? Four of my magical cores—destroyed. How can a pest… a demon like him, injure this much? I cannot allow this! If word spreads, the prestige of my clan will shatter. No… I must end him now!'
His jaw unhinged, and from the depths of his throat a ball of pure black energy began to condense, radiating destruction.
The air warped.
---
The teachers' expressions twisted in shock.
"That's a seventh-circle spell!"
"Impossible… he's actually serious!"
"That guy… he's finished. Nothing will remain—not even ashes!"
"Yeah if he used that spell even we won't remaining."
"What ?"
"The effects of that spell will simply annihilate the tower as well."
"N-Noooo..."
"We have to runnn."
The students trembled, so crying out in panic.
[WARNING: ALL STUDENTS ARE ORDERED TO RETURN TO THEIR ROOMS IMDIATELY. TEACHERS—CAST FORMATION TWELVE DEFENSE AROUND THE TOWER.]
The order repeated again, and in the next instant, the teachers chanted furiously, weaving layer after layer of barriers around the tower.
Most students fled, but a few reckless ones remained, standing behind the protection of their teachers, eyes wide with morbid curiosity.
'What is this brat thinking? Defeating a professor is one thing… but standing against Berthdolt? That's suicide,' one teacher thought with a serious expression.
---
The black sphere expanded until the air itself scread in resistance.
'Ti to test out the full extent of my strength...' Anon thought with a smile as he got ready.
Berthdolt's voice thundered. "DIE, PEST!"
The Demonic Fla Ball shot forward with unstoppable speed, tearing through the forest air.
SWISH.
The sky seed to darken in its path.
But Anon didn't even flinch. His expression was calm, his gaze locked on the incoming annihilation. Slowly, almost lazily, he raised his hand.
[Crystal of Creation has amplified the skill's effects.]
A translucent blue shield blood into existence, vast and divine, like a fragnt of heaven itself.
Anon's lips curled into a grin.
"My, My..." Anon spoke.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
The explosion tore the world apart. Light devoured vision. The shockwave shook the ground. Dust and smoke blanketed everything in sight.
---
The students scread. The teachers braced themselves against the blast.
And when the dust began to settle, all eyes turned to the spot where Anon had been standing.
A silence deeper than death consud the air.
"I-Is he dead ?" The teacher asked in a low voice as he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Oh shit..." One of the student spoke with wide eyes and serious expression as he raised his hand towards the sky.
The teacher looked at his hand followed it with his eyes only to notice sothing floating in the air and it was none other than another Demonic Fla ball.
As the dust cleared many more Demonic Fla balls ca into the view and shocked everyone even Berthdolt.
"W-What the-!?"
*Thud*
He imdiately took a step back in fear as he noticed hundreds of Demonic Fla balls floating in air.
*YAWWWNNNNNN*
Berthdolt imdiately looked down and noticed that Anon is yawning while stretching his body.
"Y-You are not an ordinary Demon..." Berthdolt spoke with a serious expression.
"Hmm..? Are you sure that's what you should be saying right now ?" Anon asked as he looked at him with a confused smile.
"What ? You want ? Proud leader of the biggest Demonic Clan to bown down to you and apologize ?" Berthdolt asked with a serious expression.
"I an... If you have any next of kin ready to serve in your place you can die in peace but I think I just saw your only daughter run towards that direction." Anon replied with a smile as he looked at Berthdolt.
"I am sure you would've killed by now, if you wanted to... That ans you want sothing from and we can make so kind of deal, right ?" Berthdolt asked with a neutral expression.
"You are absolutely correct... I can kill you right now but why kill you when we can make a deal, right ?" Anon asked with a smile.
"I like your thinking... Ask whatever you desire." Berthdolt spoke with a serious expression.
"I will take your daughter." Anon spoke with a smile as he looked at Him.
"What !?" Berthdolt asked with a shocked expression.
"I want your daughter and in exchange I will let you live." Anon replied.
"Haa... Fine, I don't have a son, so I can't die right now. But, you have to catch her yourself if you want to have her." Berthdolt spoke with a neutral expression.
"Oh don't worry about that. I know how to catch girls." Anon spoke with a smile as he snapped his fingers and all the Fla balls disappeared imdiately.
