"The person who will become the owner of the Dragon Slayer Sword after the legendary Swordsman's Victor is this woman?" Sikis said with surprise.
"Why? Can't a woman become a swordsman?" Mariel immediately argues back.
"No, it's normal for legendary swordsmen to be all men." Sikis said.
"This legendary sword is here, Dragon Slayer Sword, I've only heard of it in history books and I really want to see the real one for a long time." Deric said.
"I also don't expect that I'll ever have the opportunity to see the legendary Dragon Slayer Sword too." Segal said with excitement.
"Whether it's a man or a woman. If this sword chooses its owner, it will never change to others." The 6th generation shop owner said as he walked up behind his son.
"Father Gazius." Sikis realized that he had said something inappropriate, he immediately knelt and apologized.
"It's okay, Son. I don't realize it either. At first, I thought it was this young man." Gazius said, turning to look at Segal who standing in front of him.
"Can I have to take a look at this Dragon Slayer Sword?" Mariel turned to inquire about the possibility to use this sword.
"Yes, you can." Gazius said, casting some sort of incantation before the glass case holding the Dragon Slayer sword slowly floated up from the ledge above. Then it slowly floated down to the ground where everyone was standing together.
The old cloth covering it was moved off the glass and the rather thick dust was swept off the glass until it was clear enough to see the sword inside more clearly.
In front of everyone is a one-handed sword with a silver body approximately 70 centimeters long. The handle is gold and brown with a beautiful pattern like the body of a dragon. The head of the sword is made of gold metal, carved in the shape of a dragon's head with red eyes like rubies.
"Let's go and test this sword in the backyard. I want to know whether you are truly the owner of the second-generation Dragon Slayer Sword or not?" Gazius said as he led everyone out of the side door of the shop, heading towards the sword forging in the backyard. He ordered the store supervisors to take care of the store and people for him.
Gazius placed the dragon slayer sword on the stone table in the center of the courtyard. Then Mariel stood in front of the sword and others stood and hid in the left-hand corner, leaving a considerable distance.
Mariel took a deep breath and looked at the Dragon Slayer Sword that was on the stone table. Her right hand slowly extended towards the handle.
Wink!
The Dragon Slayer Sword shone with a golden light so bright, and it was almost impossible to see it properly. Everyone had to raise their hands to cover their eyes because of this brightness.
"I can't see anything." Sikis said.
"I can't see it too. There is only a bright golden light now." Segal said.
But Deric and Gazius were already wearing dark glasses, causing no problem in looking at this happening.
"When have you worn glasses? Dad." Sikis teased.
"Just a moment ago, son." Gazius said with a smile.
"Same here." Deric said.
Mariel turned away to avoid the bright golden light in front of her, but she slowly used her right hand to hold the hilt of the sword tightly.
*Scream*
Mariel cried out loudly in pain as power suddenly radiated from the sword and shot through her right hand into the various Qi lines throughout her body so quickly that there was almost no resistance. The blood vessels along the arms, legs, torso, neck, and face began to swell.
The power of the Dragon Slayer Sword caused a cloud of gold alternating with red to spread around Mariel until it slowly covered her body as if she was being swallowed.
"No! Mariel." Deric was worried about his daughter and trying to run in to help her.
Ouch! the sound of Deric being pushed out by a mysterious force from the two-colored smoke until his body stumbled backwards and fell to the ground.
"What a tremendous power!" Gazius said, admiring this miracle.
"Ouch!!!" Mariel continued to cry out in almost excruciating pain. Her body was tested by the power of the Dragon Slayer Sword and was almost shattered into pieces.
"Hold on!" Mariel gritted her teeth and fought against this enormous power until she began to spit out blood from the corner of her mouth. Mariel's eyes shone brightly, until her normal black eyes no longer remained. A cloud of smoke covered Mariel's body, forming a circular shape of gold alternating red, making it impossible to see the situation inside.
Mariel seemed to be standing in a dark dimension somewhere. She looked back and forth side, left, and right side, she found only emptiness and darkness.
"Where is this place?" Mariel said curiously.
"I Slept for a long time. The day has finally arrived." a mysterious, frightening voice said from behind Mariel.
When Mariel turned around It was discovered that beneath the darkness, it gradually appeared as the face of a fiery red dragon, then revealed a large body about 10 meters long. The skin had beautifully shiny dragon scales arranged in an orderly manner, along with enormous wings in front of it.
Mariel stood and watched in shock as she had just seen a dragon for the first time since she was born.
"WHAT!!!! A woman???" The fiery red dragon shouted in utter shock.
"So what???" Mariel said and looked at the dragon with dissatisfaction.
"Am I so weak that feel the power of a 2nd Generation Legendary Swordsman who is a woman!!! That's insane." The fiery red dragon continued to complain.
"Excuse me, sir! So, what if I'm a woman. I always fight and can win against men too." Mariel said.
The fiery red dragon lowered its head and stared into Mariel's eyes with a serious expression. After considering the body and appearance, it still felt dissatisfied to some extent.
"What a waste! You have a pretty face and a good body, but you ended up being a female swordsman." The fiery red dragon complained.
"It's not a waste. I'm better than you see, …. Your…" Mariel said, stop talking for a moment because she still didn't know this dragon's name.
"Oh, I forgot. My name is Magmatrion, the Legendary Fiery Red Dragon. Your name is..." Magmatrion greeted and asked.
"My name is Mariel De Stella." Mariel replied.
"Anyway, I really don't accept you as the owner of the 2nd generation Dragon Slayer Sword." Magmatrion said as it stood with arms crossed in disapproval.
(Sigh! Being born in a woman's body is so difficult. It seems that I must use the things that women have good in them.) (Chai thinking)
"Please! Lord Dragon Magmatrion. Please test me. You are the best dragon I have ever met." Mariel began pleading with the dragon god with feminine charm.
"For the sake of your cuteness and sweetness. I'll give it a try." Magmatrion looked at her with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"You like the flattery, Dragon God Magmatrion. Lol" Mariel laughed in her mind.
Suddenly, the space between them whose were standing suddenly transformed into a huge circular field of infernal fire, surrounding around them, almost making their entire bodies feel hot, sweat poured out and covered her entire body.
"Is this a test?" Mariel shouted in shock.
"I will be serious with you, same as Victor before. Lol." Magmatrion laughed and released a huge amount of fire magic power around it.
"I definitely won't give up." Mariel said with confidence as she also boosted her water magic power to the max.
Magmatrion shot a huge fireball from his mouth at Mariel.
"Water Wall!" Mariel immediately cast a 3-meter-tall water magic wall to protect herself.
Boom!
The two forces collided with each other, causing Mariel to be thrown away by the reflex of the magic power. Magmatrion, on the other side, only stumbled back slightly.
Mariel conjured a large water magic rope and threw it to strangle Magmatrion until it felt suffocated.
"This is all you got?" Magmatrion shouted as it grabbed the water magic rope and pulled Mariel several meters above the ground.
"I am waiting for this moment." Mariel turned up the power with her right hand and threw it out. A gigantic water magic fist that charged into the Magmatrion at close range.
"You fool!" Magmatrion struck back with a huge fire claw until the two forces collided with each other and created tremors throughout the area.
Ouch! Mariel's body flew far away until she hit the wall of the dark dimension and slowly rolled down to the ground. Blood spurted out in large mouthfuls until it was all over the floor and her body was serious injured.
"So, this is the power of the god dragon. My power can't fight against it." Mariel said with admiration but there was still determination in her eyes, then she slowly stood up.
"You still haven't given up? Mariel. Your body was serious injured, and it seemed that you unable to fight any longer." Magmatrion said and slowly moved closer to her.
Mariel closed her eyes and turned her energy line into a healer class, then cast a green spell to restore her Qi, healed the wounds and pained all over her body until she was almost completely healed.
"Wow, there is healing power inside you. I've never seen this before in swordsman class. Very Interesting!" Magmatrion said with admiration.
"Let's continue!" Mariel shouted as she cast the remaining water magic power once more time.
Mariel and Magmatrion fought in many attacks. As time passed, Mariel began to lose her strength and her Qi power decreasing, to the point where she was clearly at a disadvantage.
Mariel stood panting in exhaustion, but Magmatrion was only slightly tired.
"Even though you can't compare with Victor, but I admire you for fighting this far. Let's finish our fight in one final move. If you lose, then be defeated, and stop inheriting the Dragon Slayer Sword from Victor but if you can tie or beat me. I will accept you. Lol." Magmatrion said while laughing at her.
Mariel stared Magmatrion into the eyes with a serious expression. Then, she slowly gathered all the power remaining within her and fused it into a strange shape behind herself.
"Water Magic Dragon!" Mariel entrusted her life to her last strength this time by conjuring up a demon art that was nearly 5 meters large.
"Very good! Come on!" Magmatrion roared out, accelerating his full strength to both of his arms, and extending his sharp flaming claws, ready to crush the opponent.
"Fight until Death!" Mariel said as she leapt upwards and slammed a large Water Magic Fist into Magmatrion along with the Water Magic Dragon Demon Art.
The sound of two powers colliding violently caused a huge explosion of magic to spread throughout the dark space.
Return to the sword forging yard behind the sword shop. The others stood waiting to see when this golden and red smoke would extinguish.
Suddenly...
The smoke slowly dissipated. Inside of it, there was a golden light appeared, shining brightly throughout the surrounding area. Everyone was waiting with bated breath to see what the results would be.
Within the cloud of smoke that cleared It was the smile of a woman, like the one who had won this fight.
Mariel's body had no injuries from the battle. Her right hand held a dragon slayer sword and stood under a brilliant golden light that shone throughout her body.
The Fiery Red Dragon God Magmatrion has accepted Mariel as the owner of the 2nd generation Dragon Slayer Sword, following the legendary Sword God Victor, who was the owner of the 1st generation Dragon Slayer Sword.
"Finally, I am the owner of the 2nd generation Dragon Slayer Sword!" Mariel said with a sparkle in her eyes that indicated the joy she received from her test with the Fiery Red Dragon: Magmatrion.
