Ryker rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming. First, he had to deal with a petty young master and had to extort some money from his family. And now, before he was able to deal with the Tres, he had to put up with the entitled dragon princess.
If not for his promise to the dragon spirit and the advantage that was offered, he would have left the princess alone. Hell, even with the advantage he felt it was not worth it to put up with a dragon.
"You currently at the Human Realm," he decided to be diplomatic for now, no need to butt heads with the dragon. "You get here because your attendant tried to escape and end up here with you," he gave the simplified version, hoping it would be enough.
Unfortunately, the dragon seemed to be trying his patience, "So you must be a servant that this princess's attendant had prepared while he was gone. Hahaha, as expected of the attendant, he had prepared for everything,"
Calming himself, trying not to be bothered by the fact the dragon called him a servant, he tried to speak up, "Princess, I ha-" "This princess didn't give you permission to speak. Now, where are the other servants? Surely the attendant could have gathered more people with his strength," the princess pondered.
"As I wa-" "I told you not to speak! Honestly, why did the attendant pick you as this princess's servant? Surely there are other options," the princess muttered, Ryker bitterly thought, 'It's because every potential servant ended up inside the Red Earth Lizard Dragon, you dumb dragon!'
Not knowing or caring what Ryker thought, the princess continued to speak out loud, "The attendant should be nearby, he won't leave this princess for long. Let's go servant, we should meet up with the attendant,"
"For the last ti-" "This is the final strike, when did this princess give you the permission to speak? This princess has said it three times now and this is the last mistake you will make today, servant," the dragon princess glared at him for daring to defy her.
Something snapped inside him, probably his last thread of patience. "You the one that should be punished you arrogant brat," he spat out.
The dragon princess's gaze turned colder, "So you wish to defy this princess. Looks like you didn't know your place!" she yelled, and a powerful aura erupted.
Ryker had felt it before, as he had experienced the same aura from the 5th peak, 'Dragon aura," he quietly muttered.
From his parents' teaching, top-tier races in the Monster Race like dragons and Phoenix often referred to as Divine Beasts. Divine Beast possessed strength superior to other cultivators in the same realm. With them both being at the Genesis Condensing realm, with him being at the 8th Stage while she was at the 9th Stage, it would be a tough fight despite his advantage.
However, the princess had been stuck in a seal for a century, so her fighting skill would be rusty while he just entered the Genesis Condensing realm so it would be an even fight.
He withstood the dragon aura, the one from the 5th peak being far stronger than what the princess could create for now. He quickly unleashed his own aura, trying to suppress the princess as quickly as possible, as he didn't want to break his promise.
The dragon princess raised one brow as she watched the trivial human shrug off her dragon aura. To her surprise, the human let out an even more powerful aura, pushing her aura back, though not strong enough to suppress her completely.
"This," the dragon princess said, realizing the servant he looked down on could possibly be her match. This makes her grin savagely.
"Good, this princess had been stuck in that seal for a long time. To face a strong opponent when waking up would give this princess a good workout," she exclaimed, her aura powering her body before she lunged at Ryker, who blocked it with his arms.
"Oh, you also have a strong physical body, huh? Well, this makes things more interesting!" he lunged once again, easily blocked by Ryker before making another swipe, her hands turned to claw as Ryker dodged it, not wanting to see if the legend regarding dragon's claw was true or not.
Ryker looked at the dragon with annoyance. 'Why did it go from trying to tell her what happened to me fighting her,' he yelled inside his mind, though he still looked at his opponent. Multitasking is a good skill to have in a fight.
"Partial Dragon Transformation," the dragon princess called out, blue scales emerging and covering parts of her body, her hands and feet turned into claws, and her horns grew bigger.
The dragon princess gave him a savage smile before continuing her assault, Ryker blocking and dodging most of the time, sometimes taking quick shots at her but the scales shrugged off most of his attack.
"Hahaha! Is that all you got!?" she mocked him, making Ryker's eyes twitch. Not even the Tres Family's young master had achieved that.
"You better be a better servant in your next- Ahh," she screamed, her head feeling pain, but her opponent didn't do any-!
"Soul Technique!" she said with gritted teeth.
Like most members of the Monster Race, they tend to have strong physiques and aura, while their soul strength is rather weak, with the exception of some races who specialize in soul. Dragons, for the most part, are the same though their resistance to soul technique is higher than the average monster race.
'This expert, he specialized in Soul Technique,' the dragon thought to herself, 'But his physical body is strong too, not to mention his cultivation realm and ability to fight me! Is he someone who wanted to perfect every part of his body!?' she thought in shock.
To achieve perfection in qi aura, physical body, and soul is a hard task, most people only focus on their cultivation with some dabbling on either physical body or soul. To think she would meet such a genius.
As she was in deep thought, she didn't notice Ryker getting close, only realizing when his palm was only inches apart from her stomach. She tried to dodge but he moved so fast that the impact sent her flying, making her crash into the mountain's wall.
The dragon princess let out a cough, the impact taking her breath away. She felt the Partial Dragon Transformation coming undone, the attack on her soul and body made her unable to maintain it.
When she opened her eyes, she met with the gaze of the human. Before she could say anything, the human carried her like a sack of potatoes before putting her stomach on his knees, while one of his pushed her upper body down, making her butt rise.
"What are you doing?!" she yelled, trying to escape but failing, her qi already exhausted by using the Partial Dragon Transformation.
'Plap!' "Ahhh!" she screamed as the sound of flesh being hit was heard.
"Did you just hit my butt?!" 'Plap!' another smack, this time louder than the previous resounded in the nearby forest.
"When I gain my strength, you going to regret it!" another smack, the hand impacting her rear end at such strength made her tear up.
'Plap, plap, plap," as Ryker continued to spank her, the dragon princess could only cry out, too weak to stop him.
"Please, I do anything, just stop spanking me," the dragon pleaded, the burning sensation on her butt too much for her.
Ryker stopped, but before the dragon could sigh in relief, he said, "As I said earlier, arrogantbrat should be punished," the word seemed to cut her worse than any weapons could as his hand descended on her butt once again.
The smacking sound and the cries of a girl could be heard in the entire range if not for the barrier Ryker put.
