...The announcer's voice started the countdown, but neither of them moved. From their little conversation, Andrea trusted this dragon-man's character. Andrea asked with a raised eyebrow, "Do you consider yourself worthy?"
The big dragon-man became flustered and shook his head frantically, and even his tail seemed to be denying it. "I am proud of my [Fire Dragon] bloodline, but I'm unworthy of Lady Yasenia's favor!"
Andrea almost laughed out loud, 'He is quite cute despite his size.'
Andrea asked, "What do you think of my [Sun Eating Tiger] bloodline? Is it worthy of her?"
The dragon-man man nodded but then shook his head, "It is! But it is also a shame that Lady Andrea is a female. You won't be able to impregnate Lady Yasenia. Such a pity…."
Andrea laughed and said, "I will tell you one secret that should make you quite happy."
Argon listened attentively. Andrea said with a proud smirk, "I have both female and male sexes. Better yet, I'm able to get her pregnant."
Argon looked stupefied for a second and then laughed out loud, "As expected of Lady Yasenia's mate! Extraordinary even in that aspect! Then, Lady Andrea, I hope you have hundred of descendants with Lady Yasenia. A tiger and a dragon, quite fitting!"
Andrea laughed and took out her red and gold halberd, "Argon! It has been a pleasure talking with you. Let's have a fair match!"
Argon spread his wings and prepared his giant club! "Can I speak with my clansmen about Lady Andrea's peculiarities? I think they will be overjoyed discovering that a worthy mate such as you is by Lady Yasenia's side!"
Andrea shrugged and said with a grin, "Sure, why not. It isn't something to be ashamed of. Since I'm with Yasenia, it is something I can talk about with pride. Prepare yourself! I'm attacking!"
Then Andrea stomped the ground and shot toward him. Argon also lunged forwards and flapped his wings to gain more speed.
Halberd and club collided, and the ground sank under them. Andrea felt like a carriage just rammed her and was sent flying backward! She laughed while thinking, 'Such strength! Truly the dragon race is absurd!!'
Andrea flew through one building and used the ax part of her halberd to stop her momentum. Argon went through the building as if it was made of paper making a big explosion of rubble and dust. Andrea shouted, "[Chromosphere]!"
A molten substance surrounded her silver armor, and the heat around her soared. Argon followed suit, "[Fire Dragon Armor]!"
Andrea's eyes opened as she saw how his chest and wings got covered in fire armor. 'Armor!? He has evolved his coat!?'
However, she wasn't cowed! Andrea grinned and charged toward the Dragon-man. Andrea shouted as she swung her halberd toward Argon. Argon swung his club, and they clashed weapons!
*BANG!*
Argon's strength made her feet slide on the ground, leaving a trail, but she avoided the strike from blasting her away like before.
Argon praised, "Impressive battle arts! Here I go! [Draconic fire charge]!"
Andrea slammed her palm on the ground, "[Molten Wall]!"
Argon roared as he swung his club toward the gory wall. A big explosion occurred, and the wall was ripped open.
However, his club rebounded, destabilizing him. Andrea already expected it, so she put strength in her legs and jumped, "[Solar descent]!"
Her energy locked on Argon, blocking his movements briefly.
This moment was all Andrea needed to fall on him with her halberd and imposing momentum. Argon used his armored wings and protected himself.
Andrea's strike cut through the wings, and the halberd landed on his chest.
*CLANG!*
After the metallic sound of the halberd hitting his armor, Argon's feet left the ground and flew backward, roaring in pain because of his damaged wings.
Andrea stomped the ground and chased after him with her newly acquired [Solar charge]. A golden glow surrounded her, and it grew in intensity the further she charged.
Argon backflipped three times, killing the momentum, and stabilized enough to she Andrea's approach. He swung his club toward Andrea with all his strength.
Andrea stopped her charge abruptly in front of Argon and transferred all her momentum to her halberd, doing a horizontal swing. Sun energy radiated from her as she swung her weapon!
Argon and Andrea clashed weapons again.
*BOOOM!*
A giant sun energy explosion sent Argon flying backward like a cannonball, with his black armor cracked.
However, the feedback of the heavy collision fractured Andrea's right arm. Nonetheless, she was uninjured in the rest of her body.
Knowing the strength of the dragon-man, she wanted to finish quickly now that she had the advantage. Therefore, she didn't stop her pursuit and used her [Sun charge] again.
Argon looked at Andrea, and his eyes flashed, 'Using the same skill twice in a row isn't very smart, Lady Andrea.'
Andrea reached his side and made the same motions, swinging the halberd strongly against him with the intention to finish him off here. Argon used his club, doing a rising strike, and he chanted in his baritone voice, "[Draconic reflection]."
His club runes lit up as the club flashed extremely quickly toward Andrea's weapon.
When the club and the halberd were about to clash, Tatyana appeared in the middle and caught the two weapons, killing all the momentum with her hands and stopping them easily. Andrea was confused, "Is something wrong?"
Tatyana chuckled and said, "Argon wins!"
Andrea was stunned. Even if he had his two wings almost cut off and other serious injuries, Argon laughed spiritedly. Then he kindly explained, "Lady Andrea, my last attack is a technique from my clan. It doesn't prevent the damage we receive, but it reflects the attack with threefold strength to the attacker! You would have badly injured me, but the rebound of your own attack…."
Andrea's eyes widened in fear, "I would have either died or had my arms and frontal armor blown apart..."
Andrea shook her head with a smile and said, "Argon, it is your win. It has been a pleasure fighting with you."
Argon shook his head, "I was lucky! I would have probably lost if you hadn't repeated the attack twice. I was already beaten down. I must say, I haven't been sent flying in a while! More so by someone with lower cultivation than myself, hahaha."
Andrea smirked and said, "Well, that is something I experience daily! Yasenia is a brute and loves making us fly in all the meanings of the word."
Tatyana chuckled, and Argon burst into loud laughter, "Lady Andrea, I hope we see each other in the secret realm! Farewell!"
Tatyana carried Argon to the medical area, returned, and sent Andrea where Angel, Evelyn, and Kali were. Andrea smiled at the others and asked, "Hello girls, how did you do? Are you injured?"
Angel shook her head and laughed mischievously, "Evelyn didn't manage to get her entry jade~."
Evelyn rolled her eyes and rubbed Angel's temples with her knuckles, "Do you think you can laugh at me freely!? Here, take this!"
Angel shouted, "Ouch, ouch, ouch! Evelyn, I'm going to tell Yasenia!"
Evelyn laughed fearlessly, "Who do you think she will take sides off? Me who didn't manage to get the jade or you!"
Angel said with full conviction, "It is obviously me! Let's see if you can escape if I fake some tears!"
Evelyn almost coughed blood because she could totally see Yasenia take Angel's side. "Andrea, Angel is bullying me~."
Andrea and Kali laughed at their interaction. Andrea said, "You didn't get it, but I don't see you worried."
Evelyn freed Angel and said with a snort, "Do you think Yasenia will let any of us fall behind when going to a place like a secret realm?"
Angel also snorted, "As if! Evelyn just has to sit and wait for Yasenia. Furthermore, Cecile is also out there!"
Evelyn and Angel looked at each other and laughed. Evelyn hugged Angel from behind and said, "I hope she doesn't meet with any of the two strongest before that… If she does, maybe I won't get the jade…."
Evelyn said, "Say Angel, can I fondle your tits?"
Angel looked at Evelyn, stupefied, "Here?
Evelyn said with the most serious face that Angel had seen Evelyn do. "It will heal my poor and hurt soul."
Angel was trying with all her Mental Nourishing realm mental capacities to see a single hint of Evelyn's usual joking expression, but she didn't see anything! 'She is telling the truth!?'
Angel said with a stutter to her perverted friend, "S-Sure do whatever you want."
Andrea looked at Angel with a strange face, 'Do you know what you are saying, little Angel?'
Poor Angel chose the wrong set of words. Evelyn's eyes shined with happiness as she pushed Angel onto the resting bed, and her hands sneaked with expertise inside her robes.
Angel opened her eyes as Evelyn's hands massaged her breast with pinpoint accuracy. She opened her mouth to protest, but a moan escaped instead of words, "Ah~."
Evelyn let out a perverted chuckle as she kneaded, pinched, and rubbed Angel's breasts. 'Not as big as Yasenia's, but they are also a big pair of heavenly melons! Oh~ the feeling of my hand sinking in softness is heavenly~.'
Andrea and Kali looked from the side, speechless, as Evelyn sent Angel to heaven with her breasts alone. 'She is an expert!'
Evelyn stopped after some minutes, completely satisfied. Angel was breathing heavily on the bed. She regained her wits and blushed crimson, "EVELYN I'M GOING TO SPANK YOU UNTIL YOU CUM!"
Evelyn felt a shiver of pleasure and fear go up to her spine. Evelyn asked Andrea, trying to ignore the fuming Angel, "Did I go too far?"
Andrea chuckled and patted her head, "Well, expect a spanking session the next time you are together with Angel and Yasenia at night."
Evelyn didn't know whether to be happy or scared about her current situation. 'Angel spanking me while Yasenia ravages every one of my holes? Will I die of pleasure? Heavens, lend me strength!'
Kali interrupted, pointing at the screen that had Cecile on. "Look, Cecile's next opponent is reaching."
They saw that Cecile's next opponent was a half-step and frowned. Kali said, "It seems that Cecile won't be able to enter the top 100."
The others nodded, and Andrea sighed, "No matter how strong she has become, it has only been a few days since then. It is impossible to reach her full potential, much less fight against a half-step."
They turned their sights toward Yasenia. She was standing in place with the giant sword pierced in the ground beside her and her arms crossed under her breasts, emphasizing them. Evelyn commented, "How many people do you think are taking photos of her right now? I mean… I'm sure they can be sold quite highly, and I speak from experience."
Kali looked at Evelyn doubtfully and asked, "You won't be the S.L.U.T. general by chance, right?"
Angel, who had already relaxed, said, "You are right! How did you know?"
They couldn't see it, but Kali's face was slightly blushing, 'I can't tell them that I bought some photos, right?'
Evelyn, however, was very keen. "Did you buy some of the photos?"
Kali stiffened, and the three of them chuckled. Andrea said, "Well, the best ones and the ones where Yasenia appears nude are inside Evelyn's ring. You can ask for them later. They are quite the sight. Especially when Yasenia purposely makes poses…. "
Andrea stopped talking because she was becoming aroused.
Angel was looking at space while blushing, remembering some of the photos.
Evelyn was almost drooling looking at one of them…
Angel suddenly remembered something and said to Kali, "Wait!"
Kali, who was about to peek at Evelyn's photo, froze. Angel said, "I think Yasenia wanted you to see her naked in person first… I think you shouldn't look at the photos."
Kali had a lot of curiosity but respected what Angel said. Evelyn even stored the photo when Angel stopped speaking.
Andrea and Evelyn didn't know why Angel stopped Kali from looking, but they trusted Angel and didn't contradict her. Angel was thinking, 'Since Kali has been… Through that. I think Yasenia wants Kali to get used to her first and then reveal that she has the male part… For us, it might be strange, but for Kali….'
Andrea said, "Look, Yasenia's opponent arrived. Is that…?"
Kali said, "A harpy, an extremely lustful beast-human race. They have wings in their arms covered with feathers and talons as legs. They don't wear any clothes and try to mate with everything they find attractive."
Evelyn said, "Well, she is dripping looking at Yasenia…."
The others focused on the Harpy's nether regions and had strange faces because Evelyn wasn't exaggerating.
