Chapter 52 - CHAPTER 52: PROGENITOR

"I never thought that my baby girl would challenge me this early. But I must not let my dignity as a father. I'll teach her a lesson and then lose. Can't bear to offend my wife for this."Caezar shuddered as he thought.

Before he could think further Kai said,"Father if I win please grant a request of mine."

"Only if you defeat me kid. you're a hundred years too early to defeat me." mocked Caesar.

BANG

Kai had lunged and sent a right hook at Caesar who defended with a block successfully guarding his face. Not giving any breather to him Kai proceeded to hold Caezar's wrist and deliver a knee kick to his gut. But being a senior Ceazar defended by pulling Kai in by pulling his caught wrist forcing the girl to miss the kick. Though she didn't got discouraged but a large wing sprung out of her back and swat away Caezar like a tennis ball. Seeing Caezar flying away from her Kai proceeded to take off and follow him. It turned out to be a fatal mistake as Caezar proceeded to expand one of his wing tilting his body sideways and caught Kai's arm. He was planning to spin her two times and them slam her into the wall. But sometimes the luck isn't as good as we think as Kai proceeded to contrast her wings and scales were now visible on her fist. A super charged fist was going to land straight on Caezar's stomach. He quickly summoned a thick mana shield and flew away putting a barrier in Kai's path. His plan was to prevent her from getting close to him. 

CRACK

To his surprize Kai was easily able to break the shield which would previously take her 4 tries to break. He noticed her yellow glowing eyes.

MANA EYES!

Probably too shocked by her breakthrough Caezar forgot that he was in combat and stood like an idiot. The very next instant Kai came diving at him with her fist covered in mana and scales.

PUFF

Caezar was forced to exhale each molecule of air he had in his body and was embeded into the ground. Though that didn't cooled down his excitement as the lost eyes of the dragon race had at last made their appearance again. 

The mana eyes were one of the basic abilities of dragons in ancient times and one of the skills which had helped the dragons in mastering various skills and techniques related to mana. These eyes allowed its user to not only view mana physically but also allows its users to manipulate mana with precise control. Essentially due to their closeness to mana the dragons have a potential to unlock these eyes but only about 1/1000 dragons could successfully awaken it. Even he as a dragon king lacked the mana eyes. Infact his whole generation and even the generation before him had not unlocked the mana eyes.

On mastery over these eyes a dragon could also control the mana surrounding him and even change elemental properties of spells without even moving. 

Thinking about it Caezar noticed how Kai had broken his mana shield.

"Hmm...so she found a weak spot in my spell formation. Good....very very good."Caezar kackled with glee.

"Are you fine father?"Kai asked worried by the lack of reaction by Caezar.

"Don't worry my child, I was just too happy to see you achieve this breakthrough. I accept defeat my little fairy." Caezar said chuckling.

"But I didn't defeat you father."Kai said.

"Don't worry my child I beleive in time you will defeat me. Anyway me going all out against a child is bullying, so you landing a blow on me was a sign of my defeat for now." Caezar said.

"But I just started having fun."Kai pouted.

"Anyway when did you awakened the mana eyes?" Caezar asked curiously.

"Well I didn't awakened it. I met a human boy who taught me how to use this skill. I don't know hoe he did that but he was able to awaken my eyes. I asked him his name but he onlygave away his alias `Lucifer Morningstar'."Kai rplied shamefully lowering her head.

"Its not bad if you want then we can search him and reward him for his contribution." Caezar said.

"Father since I won I would like to find out about him with the help of the witches. Please allow me to search for his wear abouts. I feel like he would be a nice competition for me and will be good to increase my martial prowess. Additionally he could also use the mana eyes." Kai said humbly.

"You want me to convince the witch queen to search for a human boy?"Caezar asked.

"Yes"

"Fine the I'll talk to her prepare for the meeting. I beleive the boy to be a Progenitor" Caezar said.

"Father I beleive you're overestimating the boy. I mean aren't progenitors the first ones of any race with unparalled power in their lifetime?" Kai asked shocked.

"Your knowledge is lacking dear. progenitors are the first ones of each race who have the tendency to adapt to other races it is said that each progenitor is capable of adapting to other race. Sometime they are even capable of copying and using skills of races other than their own.
