Hopping up from the desk Alessia turned toward Dre with a smirk on her face, she looked at the setting sun behind him then clenched her fist.
"Let's make a deal, let me fight you."
"No."
She looked at him with a stunned expression for a second before laughing.
"Sorry you have no choice, if I win you have to let me challenge one of the strongest people the other kings have. If I lose I'll stop breaking stuff, including your little helpers, and I'll teach one of those training classes you talked about. Oh and you have to give me a divine weapon as well if I win."
Dre looked at her with a deadpanned expression then sighed thinking of how much worse the request could've been, she could've challenged a king.
"Well I don't gain nearly as much as you do from this but fine, since I have no choice. Just make sure you don't kill any of the students and recruites."
"You say that like I don't stand a chance, I'm stronger than the last time we fought. Pretty soon I'll be the one in that big boy chair of yours calling the shots."
"Yeah yeah, don't worry I'll make this fast so you don't have time to match my strength."
He walked past her cracking his neck as he headed towards the door. They headed towards the toward the simulation room, Dre waved and greeted everyone who walked past, while Alessia giving behind him had a crazed expression on her face as some of her aura leaked out from excitement.
Walking into the room they were greeted by two scientists and a few scholars who were going through some of the information on the screens of some warriors already inside the sims training. The two greeted them before hopping into higher grade pods, the settings were set for full combat without the restrictions of the lesser ones.
As their bodies formed in the arena, their surroundings changed. The world around became a beautiful field populated by flowers all around, with thick forest surrounding them in the distance. It was late night with the moon shining brightly in the clear sky, accompanied by bright stars.
The two of them stood on either end of the field stretching, and preparing for the fight, although the fight wouldn't kill them the pain would feel all the same. The pods allowed the user to fight as if they were really there and the pain would allow their bodies to absorb the experience and grow without the worry of death. The idea came from Dre himself as it would help the unexperienced to grow faster, and their bodies stronger.
The other fighters exited their pods expecting the scholars to rush them with questions and remarks on their battle, but they were disappointed seeing them crowded around a big screen showing someone other than them. Upon closer look though their eyes widened recognizing who were in the arena.
As the wind blew through their hair a timer count started above them. Cletching her fist Alessia's eyes began to glow gold.

Opposite of her Dre stood smiling his eyes glowing gold as well with a darkness swirling in them. He bit his lip drawing blood, causing a rise in his energy, although not by much.

Demon link: Blood Tree Jubokko
As the blood fell onto the flowers it started to increase and warp, a figure started to crawl from inside. Her body and tunic bloody, a twisted smile appearing on her face. Her eyes were pools of darkness, her silver hair floating wildly in the air, the aura around her dark and ominous crimson. A crown of crimson red radiated with power on her head.
As she stood with a bloodied scythe in her hand Dres' right eyes turned into a pool of darkness. Jubokko breathed in deeply before sticking her scythe into the ground, she then ran her hands through her hair wiping some of the blood away.
"Back for another beating young one, it's a shame we can't do this more often, I do enjoy watching you grow so I can tear you down. Such a shame you and I didn't link, that hunger for battle would do wonders for us."
On the left of Dre the world distorted as a graceful figure emerged from his body. This figure had pristine white wings on her back as well as a crown that shined like a star. Her white dress flowed like water, and her eyes gave off a the same gold radiance as his.
Insha seemed to be standing on the air itself not daring to touch the ground with her bare feet. The world constantly distorted around her as she slightly glowed with radiance, her flowing blonde hair reaching down to her legs.
She held no weapons, and wore no armor, her aura and beauty were all she chose wield. She looked over at Dre seeing a radiant crown covered in deep red cracks as if it itself were bleeding appear on his head, a calm yet cold look settled on his face.
Looking past him she saw Jubokko then looked toward Alessia. She formed a soft smile then vanished. When she reappeared she was already slamming Alessia head into the ground. Jubokko appeared in the air slamming the base of her scythe onto Alessia's chest, she then removed it and picked her up by her throat.
Behind them power rushed out of Dre as he reached his hands out to the sides of him. The sky darkened more as the stars disappeared and the moon became blood red. The field became littered with blood and weapons as if it were once a viscous battlefield. Each weapon differed from the other all radiating their own power. The field was littered with divine weapons, all shaking begging to be wielded by their master.
Two swords shook before flying out of the ground toward Dre, one of pure darkness with pink cracks running through it surging with power, the other having a red blade surrounded by black mist.

"Blood Paradise"
Moving in a blur Dre ran toward Alessia who was now being held up by blood tentacles surrounded by black mist. The blades reached his hands just as he swung at her neck. Just as the blades touched her skin the screen cut to black. And the pods opened behind everyone.
