"Excellent, the way it looks. You killed it easily, congratulations Edith. You are now a princess warrior," said Elder Ashura to Edith.
"Thank you Elder,"
Kneeling, Edith replied respectfully. She is back like the young king told her to; she didn't know the reason, but he said it's important.
The Elder felt satisfied, but his face changed as he noticed something.
"What's in your horn? Someone subdued you?" He asked with a little authority in his voice.
Edith's cheeks reddened,
"Yes, elder."
The Elder's brow furrowed, then he wore a smile and says,
"Martis Wolfblood finally subdued you?" He touched the hand of Edith. 'Let me confirm if she became stronger.' then he realized something,
They are famous for Edith and Martis are the strongest in their generation. They knew their love story, childhood sweetheart, they also knew the promise between each other.
"What is this?"
The Elder asked,
'What is this strength? I'm sure that even I won't be close to her strength now in physical power alone if I was in the same stage back in the day. What's going on? This is not Vlad.'
The woman in their Ashura clan would either get stronger or weaker depending on the partner they chose. Women may be weak, but their power to control blood is one of their greatest assets.
The second asset is choosing a partner. Once they chose their partner, the body of their partner will be mimicked by them. They will also be immune to any kind of attraction and aphrodisiac effects because their man is their only stimulation.
"It's not Martis Wolfblood Elder," she said with an awkward look.
"What? If he's that strong to defeat you, why not be proud and show everyone what he's got? Is he afraid that someone would challenge him and experience defeat? That's not the way of Ashura!"
The elder's noise alerted the whole venue,
"What?! Edith was subdued and found a man? Who is it?"
"Someone defeated Edith?!"
"That's great news. I want to fight that guy!"
All of them became quiet when,
"SHUT UP!!"
The Elder shouted at them, then he looked at Edith and asks gently,
"Tell me, what's the reason he's not showing himself?"
To them, such pride would be nurtured well by their clan and would probably become a strong Ashura descendant.
Edith hesitated, but answers,
"My king said that the attention would annoy him. If he accepts, he will probably be challenged by many people. He would make the younger generation extinct because he will kill everyone. Plus, he said he's lazy, so he prefers to be unknown,"
The Elder looked at her and thought, 'He sounds domineering enough, plus he subdued Edith. He should be around twenty years of bone age or lower to do that,'
In the Ashura clan, older male Ashura couldn't subdue younger women Ashuras. That's why he is sure that the one who subdued Edith is still young.
"Thank you, young Edith. Please tell him that if he ever needs resources, he can come anytime secretly. We won't bother him and we understand his eccentric personality."
"I will Elder," she replied respectfully.
'Martis Wolfblood would be amazing, but I never thought there'd one more hidden talent out there. Sigh, why were the lazy ones always get the favor of the world.' he thought. The Elder smiles at her and says,
"Congratulation, you now have a man. You'll get some powers and special abilities. He sounds so talented, your talent and rise of improvement will depend on him. That's I have nothing to say but Congratulations and we are grateful you found your man. You can now go, I have something to do."
The surrounding male Ashura was so curious, they keep murmuring.
"Thank you Elder, I'll go now." Said Edith.
The Elder nodded and waited for Edith to go away. A little while passed, two shadows flashes on his side.
"There's an intruder inside our clan, it can mimic any kind of Ashura. Send an alert the other students to go back, and then search for that intruder and bring him to me."
The two shadows nodded, then with flickers, they disappeared on his side.
'If he is an intruder, I will find him and he won't escape to me. It's foolish for him to send his slave. I never thought that our treasure would be taken like that.
'But if he's not, then it's worthy of celebration, as long as he is not an intruder. However, I will know once I see him in person. The only riddle I want to know is if he's an intruder, why did he send her back here?'
The Elder Ashura only gazed at a distance with an air full of mystery to what was happening right now.
...
'Talk about the fortunate encounter. I never thought that I would get a female Ashura weapon just like that. I can do anything for her. She must've been desperate for a man to make a promise to this world like that, makes my plan step further.'
The young king said with delight, he had a lot of obstruction and things needed to do to get the blood altar, but all those things were solved by his Ashura girl alone.
In his last life, Ashura females are to be sought by human practitioners; the disorder aura users and disorder bloodline awakener. Even the other race sought Ashura females because they are one of the best weapons once someone tamed one. It all depends on the female Ashura oath, like Edith to the young king. An oath for eternity.
'I just need to find one for sacrifice and wait for an hour,' Currently, the young king holds the severed head of different kinds of beasts: lions, jaguar, cheetah, and wildebeests, while he's jumping from tree to trees.
He's moving in a certain direction because he can smell something in distance,
Arriving at the place, he saw a beast with long trunks, a nose, a gigantic body, a long ear, terrifying eyes, a tusk that is for carnivores, and red eyes.
'A Boarphant Tartarus beast,' he thought as the beast in front of him looks like a combination of wild boar and an elephant.
The young king prepared himself to kill the beasts. It's just a normal beast, so killing it would be easy, unlike the Hyena Badger he faced in the past.
'My sacrifice is complete!'
The young king suddenly flicked four coins to destroy the four legs of the Boarphant, however, before it could land,
BANG!
It was misdirected by a spear made of blood.
ROAR!!
The Boarphant sensed something but when it couldn't find anything; it sprinted to get away from the invisible enemy.
The young king turned his attention to where it came from and saw the intruder. He was suddenly taken aback,
He saw an Ashura male youth, two Sanguine red-colored horns, and a mighty, slightly muscular body. Looking very proud and arrogant while his hands are crossed.
'Being young but his blood power is already a Sanguine red color. I only know someone this talented in this Ashura race, Martis Wolfblood.' the young king thought as he observes the Ashura thoroughly.
"That beast right now is mine."
Martis jumps down the tree and stated at the young king,
'Arrogant as ever, it is said that his lover was killed as princess warrior sacrifice. The reason he became bloodthirsty and cruel to his race, living only to fight and be strong.
'In the place where the already destroyed Dust Kingdom, the Ashura emerge near it before the Universal renewal of the plane. The Ashura clan was led by the Mighty Martis Wolfblood that can rival one of the top seven human disorder aura users.'
"Do you have any objection?"
Martis stopped the young king's thought. To him, the young king is just one of the student warriors of their clan, one of the people that revered him, so he is confident that the man would leave, but...
"You need to be humbled, Martis Wolfblood."
Martis furrowed his brow,
'He didn't know who I am? No, I know there's a hidden possibility that he's a hidden expert. I faced a lot of them who fell before me. This one is probably underestimating my strength.
'This is perfect, not that I will decline this fight. I already surpassed the Tyrian Blood controller and became a Sanguine Blood expert. I am now immune to Edith's Blood Bend and have another rare power. I can defeat and claim her now, but first, I will test my strength on this little fella who's overestimating himself.'
"Come on, I want to see how are you going to humble me."
The young king smirk and out of nowhere he fires a coin blast!
TASOOVV!!
'I'm surprised. He didn't use any kind of Blood ability, maybe he knew that I'm a sanguine blood power holder,'
Martis created a skull of a wolf made of blood. This ability makes him able to defend any kind of attack. His eyes suddenly went astonished as the speed of something was so fast that it reaches him easily,
CRACK!
The skull was easily pierced through. Martis didn't have the time to react, the bullet-like attack destroyed and taken half of his face,
Already falling to the ground, the enemy shot another wave of blast coins, piercing Martis and creating countless holes in his body.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
The body was sent flying far away.
The young king looked at it with a sneer.
"Since you are the mighty Martis, you wouldn't mind me not holding back, right?"
All of the sudden,
WEEEENNNGGGG!!!
The young king looked up to the sky, then towards the body of the Mighty Martis deciding to confirm its dead or leave now.
About a second, the young king finally mutters,
"Nevermind, I need to leave now."
