When Yasenia opened her eyes, she was in the middle of a forest. She looked around, dazed, and saw that she was alone.
At that moment, she remembered Tatyana's bloody face as she smiled at her gently; a pure and unadulterated rage began burning her body. As the anger rose from the bottom of her heart, something inside her, that thing she had been feeling these last months, burst out like an unstoppable tide. Her blood resonated with the ambient energy, and her aura swelled, becoming extremely tyrannical. Everything in a 100-meter radius around her got flattened as her irises became blood red with golden cracks.
Yasenia subconsciously gathered energy in her throat as she expressed all that wrath deep within her in an extremely deep and resounding dragon roar.
"RROOAAAR!!"
Her extremely thick and tyrannical aura exploded from Yasenia together with the dragon roar! The ground below her feet burst into pieces as the floor sunk, creating cracks all around. Every single creature within a 100 km radius heard Yasenia's dragon roar and felt as if an unparalleled creature had appeared in the forest!
Yasenia's rage, stronger than even the one she felt with Cecile's situation, awakened an ability all dragons have since birth. Still, only an extremely tiny percentage managed to awaken, and even less were able to evolve it. The ability Yasenia awakened was called [Dragon Strength], and it currently was at the initial level.
As the king of beasts, pure dragons have innate authority between beast ranks. This aura will make all creatures with a beast lineage below Yasenia's level extremely handicapped if they decide to fight against her. This meant that as long as her opponent had less level than her, she would be able to beat them even if they were stronger than her. Even those at the same level as her or slightly higher will feel pressure from [Dragon Strength]. Moreover, it will also increase Yasenia's physical strength passively.
And these effects were from only the just awakened innate aura. This aura could evolve and become something more monstrous.
After that aura explosion and roar, Yasenia slammed her fist into the ground without holding back, with the [Dragon Strength] wrapped around her fist.
*BOOOOM!*
Her strength made the floor sink various meters, creating an enormous explosion of dirt and rocks that went up to the sky for more than 100 meters. Then, still unsatisfied, she began rampaging around, destroying everything with her bare fists and tail.
*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*
As she rampaged around, an enraged roar left her mouth. "WHY AM I SO WEAK!? WHY CAN'T I HELP MOM WHEN SHE NEEDS ME!? ROAR!"
Even if these complaints were nonsensical, right now, the rage in her heart made her pour her current feelings out. Yasenia knew that she couldn't help Tatyana; she knew that everything must advance step by step, but seeing her mother's bloody face made her feel extreme anguish that she didn't know how to vent besides destroying everything around her.
The hits were so strong that they caused shockwaves wherever they passed, as if the air was exploding with Yasenia's raw strength. Moreover, everywhere they landed, an enormous visible shockwave expanded, blowing dust, dirt, rocks, and trees into pieces. "All because of them! Because of the fucking demons! I'm going to make the demon race disappear from our world! ROOAAAR!!!!"
*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*
Because of all the destruction and loud explosive sounds, a giant reptile creature approached; it was the owner of the territory and the strongest creature nearby. He had sensed Yasenia's rampage and had come to investigate who dared to cause this much destruction in its domain. Creatures like it were extremely territorial, and they would fight to the death against creatures of similar strength when they defended their home.
However, this peak-level third-rank beast that was about to evolve and enter the fourth level came at the wrong moment, to the wrong place.
When the five-meter tall and 25m long reptile appeared, Yasenia's red slit eyes locked into the creature. The lizard felt extreme fear for a moment, but after seeing Yasenia's size, he got enraged for being "Fooled" by Yasenia's current aura. The lizard's limited intelligence, coupled with its knowledge about some creatures that use strong auras to fight predators off, made it ignore its current ringing survival instincts and charge toward the enraged dragoness with a piercing sound.
"HISSS!!"
Yasenia got even more agitated in response to the lizard's provocations. "How dare you challenge me!?"
Yasenia stomped the ground, making the ground explode, and she shot toward the lizard with blurring speed. She didn't even take out her sword as she smashed her fist toward the five-meter tall lizard, wrapping it with her current aura.
Enraged that this small creature dared to attack it, the lizard head-butted with all its strength toward Yasenia's dainty fist with the intent of blasting her flying.
Fist and Head collided, and the world seemed to stop for a second. The lizard felt how its skull cracked and sunk, and a tremendous momentum transferred into his body from that dainty fist.
*CRRACK!*
The sickening sound of bones breaking was directly followed by an enormous explosion.
*BANG!*
And together with the explosion, Yasenia's raw strength blasted the enormous body of the lizard flying without control! The lizard didn't even know north from south as it tumbled away with his head hurting terribly.
However, the poor lizard wasn't in luck today, as Yasenia wasn't done venting yet. She stomped the ground again and flashed with terrible speed, chasing after the blasted lizard. When she caught up, Yasenia grabbed the tip of the 40-ton lizard.
Even while it was dizzy, the lizard knew that it messed with the wrong creature, so it didn't foolishly try to fight against this terrible creature that blasted it away with a single attack. Its four legs tried to stabilize its body to begin running away.
However, at that moment, it felt a pair of small hands grabbing its tail like a vice. And before it could turn to look at the dragoness, it felt an enormous strength pulling it from the tail. Its feet left the ground, and then, Yasenia used the 5m tall and 25m long 40-ton green lizard to cause more destruction.
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
The destruction attracted another predator from the area, a giant 20m long aqua blue scorpion. It was the main rival of that lizard. But… Well, they say that curiosity killed the scorpion. The poor thing went toward the wrong place at the wrong moment. Worthy of being the rival of the lizard!
When the scorpion tried to look at the battlefield stealthily, the berserk dragoness caught its presence and locked into it. "HOW DARE YOU APPEAR BEFORE ME!?"
Yasenia's aura washed over the scorpion, making it tremble with fear. Then, the scorpion looked at the lizard, seeing its rival's state; the scorpion wanted to cry! It was cursing at itself for being too arrogant and trying to take advantage of the situation.
Then, Yasenia proceeded to beat up the scorpion, using the 40-ton lizard as a club. Pain-filled cries and screeches resounded in that area, accompanied by a dragon roar from time to time. The beasts around were shivering in fear, knowing that a new tyrant had appeared.
After beating the two beasts, Yasenia was breathing roughly. Her emotions have calmed down, and, right now, she was taking deep breaths to recover herself. She looked at the two creatures and frowned slightly. Incredibly, the lizard and scorpion were still alive! Well, alive is a big word to describe the two creatures, but they weren't dead!
Yasenia went to a place with a rock standing and sat on it. "Should I kill them? Maybe I can use them as a mount to move around. But..."
She saw their mangled appearance and said, "I will have to wait too much time to let them recover and use too many resources."
Yasenia decided not to kill them. In the end, the most she could take from them were some beast leather, meat, and their beast cores. She had hundreds of third-level beast cores in her ring. The only thing Yasenia felt was a shame leaving behind was the poison sack of the scorpion. But if she took the poison sack, it wasn't any different from killing it.
Yasenia sighed and looked toward the ring Tatyana placed on her hand before she entered the secret realm. She sunk her consciousness inside and looked around. There were two notes and ten objects.
Three of the objects were a cooking pan, casserole, and oven. They were all middle-level heaven ranked. They were golden colored, and the oven was quite big. It was at least two meters tall and wide, with one and a half meters of depth. Yasenia saw six levels for different kinds of trays. She would also be able to use the whole inside of the oven if she took out the trays, so it was quite versatile.
The next three items were an alchemy cauldron, a spirit herb purifier, and a box with different measuring tubes for alchemy. The alchemy tubes came in different sizes and forms, useful for almost any kind of pill making. The alchemy cauldron had some carvings of blooming trees and flowers, and its rank, together with the other objects, was middle-level Heaven rank. Its size was one meter and thirty centimeters tall, and its diameter was one meter.
The final three items were a smithing hammer, a smelting furnace, and smithing tongs. The smithing hammer was completely black and quite heavy, and it seemed to reflect light. This furnace was red-colored with some yellow accents. The smelting furnace was quite big, reaching at least four meters in height and two meters in width. It had a place to heat up the objects you were creating and a place to put fuel into it. It could work with just energy, but to make difficult and long projects, the cultivator needed extra fuel so that they didn't get tired. They were the same rank as the other objects in the middle level of the Heaven grade.
She took out the note beside the spirit profession tools. "Little Treasure, these objects will be able to use your energy, so if you aren't able to decipher why your energy is affecting the tools in a wrong way, you can use these to begin advancing in your spirit profession mastery. The name of the oven is [Burning Hell Oven], don't worry about the ominous name; its creator was quite boastful. The alchemy cauldron is named [Spring Tree Pill Cauldron]. And the smelting furnace is called [Devil's Heating Furnace], if you haven't guessed, it was made by the same person who made the oven... Anyway, even if I gave them to you, I hope that you will never use them and you are able to discover how to use normal tools~. Be careful with everything you do, and thousands of kisses from Mommy~."
Yasenia's nose became sour, and she sniffed a little, 'Even in that situation, she managed to make this.'
Then she took out the other item and observed it. It was a beautiful green-black crystal heart with some kind of red aura swimming inside of it. It was mesmerizing and beautiful in its own way.
The note beside it read like this, "Hello little treasure~; I don't know if you have read this note first or the other, but well, it doesn't matter. Let's get to what this thing is. Do you remember mom telling you about some strange technique she had to do when crossing into the Transcendence realm? The one thing I lost Ying Yue for? Well, the thing in your hand is that skill. You just need to put energy into it to activate it. However, do it only after you leave the secret realm! And since I like to be mysterious~ I won't tell you anything more, fufufu~ Be careful with the girls that come near you, and thousands of hugs from mommy~!"
Yasenia chuckled and suddenly heard some rustling at the side. Then she said, with a seductive tone, "Sneaking around like that~, You seem like a stalker, hahaha. How about you come out, and we speak a little~."
