And he would be right, Hinata's attack barely even scratched Veldora even though the strike itself was approaching the Speed of Light.
Still, the fact that Hinata scratched Veldora as a Saint is a feat on its own. That's actually fairly impressive, I can see why she is called a prodigy.
Veldora of course ignored his wound. "Haha, you'll have to try harder to take me down!" He boasted.
Hinata just sighed in resignation.
I choose this moment to appear. "Say what you will Veldora but it is quite impressive that she was even able to wound a True Dragon like you."
"Indeed! She has even learnt about The Sacred Texts!"
"The Sacred Texts?" Hinata asked confused.
Veldora nodded. "Yes! I understood the reference you made!"
"The reference?" Ah, she really didn't mean to make a reference huh? That's predictable but disappointing.
It seems Hinata has been doomed to being uncultured, what a sad sad life.
"Still, that was quite impressive Hinata. You might just have a shot at becoming someone noteworthy if you continue to improve."
I could tell my comment pissed Hinata off a bit, after all I was indirectly saying she didn't matter as she was now.
And that was true. To matter you at least need to be capable of matching an Ultimate Skill wielder, and as far as I know Hinata does not possess any God Grade Equipment to lift her to that level.
"I see. Thank you for the compliment Lord Felix." Hinata responded. Though I could tell she was holding her tongue.
Heh, she is almost as fun to mess with as Luminous is.
"You know, I wouldn't mind sparring against you on occasion." I offer. After all, I am quite curious about Hinata. She is the youngest Saint in history, a history that included the first True Hero. And on top of that Hinata has the potential to become a True Hero.
It would be fun to see how a Hero could grow with the help of a Demon Lord.
"Thank you for the offer Lord Felix, but I will withhold from doing that." Hinata responded.
"Luminous told you not to huh?" From the twitch of Hinata's lips I could tell I hit the mark.
"But do you really want to give up an opportunity to become stronger just because your Lady told you to?" I questioned. After all, one thing I know about Hinata for sure is that she is chasing strength.
I'm not sure why, but she needs it for something.
I could tell that Hinata was wavering. "Just ask me whenever I'm around Tempest if you decide to accept." I'll also get to beat her up under the guise of training.
She still needs to be humbled for being a fucking idiot, following along with Falmuth's plans. I'm sure a couple of beatings from me should suffice.
"Teacher! That was an incredible fight!" Did Zegion call Veldora teacher? Veldora taking on a student is surprising.
Veldora nodded proudly. "Indeed! Did you see me utilizing my Veldora Style Killing Arts!?"
"Yes teacher!"
"Good!" Veldora nodded.
What the fuck is going on.
"Since when was Zegion your student Veldora?" I asked.
"Ah, you have already met him it seems. Zegion here asked to become stronger to be of more assistance to Rimuru. I saw the drive in him so I decided to take him on as a student! My very own Shonen protagonist!" Of course it all routes back into Veldora's weebness.
"Hinata here has even begun teaching his friend Apito!" There is another bug?
Hinata nodded. "Indeed, she shows potential. I plan to bring my Holy Knights here to train, I'm sure they will grow tremendously in The Dungeon."
I snorted. "That will be funny to watch."
Veldora agreed. "Indeed! It will be quite entertaining watching them struggle through all the traps we have set."
"I'm sure those four Arch Dragons will be quite tough for them to beat. Where did those Dragons come from anyways Veldora?" I asked.
"Ah, my niece Milim brought them here. She said they would be fun monsters for The Dungeon and Rimuru agreed."
Of course it was Milim. Still these Dragons might actually end up becoming Dragon Lords. After all they will constantly be bathed in Veldora's Magicules, that's gotta have an effect on them.
That's four Awakened Demon Lord level Monsters.
The Dungeon's difficulty increased drastically with the increase of these Arch Dragons as long as they eventually become Dragon Lords. Though even as mere Arch Dragons they are still far stronger than most.
"By the way, I met your sister Velzard Veldora." Veldora froze up the moment he heard me.
Hinata was the one who looked shocked. "You met the Frost Dragon Velzard?! The partner of Guy Crimson."
I nodded. "Her and Guy as well."
"To call the strongest Demon Lord so casually…" Ah, I forgot how big of a deal those two names are to most.
"M-My sister you said?" Veldora asked fearfully.
I nodded. "Mhmm."
"To have even Veldora shaking in fear…" Hinata mumbled.
"D-Did she say anything?" Veldora asked hopefully.
"She did, she asked how you were doing and if she needed to come discipline you."
Veldora was straight up shivering now. "Of course being the bro I am, I said that you were doing perfectly okay and that you were not causing mass destruction."
Veldora was crying crocodile tears as he jumped and hugged me. "Ah! Felix my brother! If you ever need anything come to me! I am the King of The Dungeon, I will help you with whatever you need!"
"For even teacher to be this scared of his sister, she must be a true monster." Said Zegion.
"She seemed quite interested in your change." I said as Veldora was still hugging me.
"Interested?" Veldora pulled back and asked slightly warily.
I nodded. "Mhmm, she said she would visit you soon."
"Gah! I must hide! Felix! Can you hide me in your territory for a year, no, ten years?!" Veldora pleaded.
