Chapter 2196: A Spar Between Disciples 1

-----

"Come on now, don’t fight... or well, rather, yes, fight!" Drake nodded. "I brought you here so you could spare, let out of any emotion you got. I’ve heard from my parents that dragons get along better when they do mock battles and spar. It builds character."

"Heh, are you sure you want me to fight this little guy?" Amethyst laughed. "He’s going to get stomped too quickly, I would feel bad, Drake..."

"Hey! You’re saying I’m weak?!" Triton asked angrily. "I’m more than you can see!"

"Is that so?" Amethyst said.

"Yeah! Let’s fight!" Triton said angrily.

"Alright, go easy on him, Amethyst," Drake said. "But not too easy or you may be seriously injured. Make sure to protect your Soul."

"Eh?" Amethyst was confused, as both Dragons flew into the blue skies, rapidly transforming into their dragon forms.

"Woah, you’re so bright!" Triton was amazed by Amethyst’s dazzling, crystalline beauty.

"Hmph! And you look like any other ocean lizard I’ve hunted and eaten before! Is this really a Sea Dragon, Drake?!" Amethyst asked, glaring at Triton’s form.

"Gaaaah! Okay that’s it!" Triton grew angry, his Aura surging. "I’m not holding back just because you’re a lady anymore!"

"Hahaha! As if you would need to, you’re just-"

"RAAAHHHH!"

RUMBLE!

Triton’s Divine Soul Essence Aura surged, Amethyst’s eyes widening as a gigantic wave of ethereal soul sea struck her, and dozens of Leviathans roared at the same time, coiling around her body, biting her, and pushing her down.

"W-WHA...?! WHAT THE HELL?!"

BOOOMMM!!!

Before she was thrown down into the sands, where the Soul Beasts exploded, causing severe damage around the vicinity, causing a massive crater...

Drake looked down, facepalming.

"Amethyst I told you to be careful!" Drake said, as he looked at the dragon girl sitting over the crater, covered by ashes and rubble.

"Ugh, damn brat! What the hell was that?!" Amethyst asked. "Are you even a kid?!"

"I’m not a kid! I am a teen!" Triton roared angrily. "Mama said I’m already almost a young adult!!!"

Triton roared angrily, his aura fluctuating constantly, waves of sea-like soul essence constantly splashing, generating something akin to a pseudo domain more than an aura, which also worked as an aura, surging from his body and moving with him.

It was an exceptionally unique technique, especially because it had the ability to become "alive" and take the form of what Drake could only describe as Soul Beasts born from Triton’s soul.

"Ah well, I guess you’re not that bad then..." Amethyst cleaned the dust from her shoulders, as her Aura surged, resembling a spiraling tower of light reaching the skies. "I’m not going easy on you, brat!"

RUMBLE!

She kicked the ground, reaching the skies in an instant, resembling a ray of light, and striking Triton’s Aura with her bare fists, bombarding him with a series of punches and kicks.

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

"Ungh!"

Triton resisted the power with his Domain Aura, constantly gathering energies on his jaws and releasing a destructive breath attack, striking Amethyst directly.

BOOOM!

However, the dragon girl emerged amidst the explosion, using her claws to tear apart Triton’s Aura and kicking him down, following that attack with a series of kicks and punches, followed by a breath attack.

"RAAAAH!"

BOOOM!

Triton tried to fight back, rapidly spinning in midair and glaring back at Amethyst, his Aura turning into a giant Leviathan Soul Beast, opening its jaws and rushing towards her, aiming to bite through her body.

"ROOOAAARRR!"

"Tsk!"

Amethyst clicked her tongue as she saw the giant creature, powering up even more by releasing more of her Divine Power, as she summoned a glowing blade made of crystals, and swinging it down.

"Take...

THIS!"

SLAAAASH!

Both attacks met one another, as an explosion of bright white and golden light and azure energies erupted and then exploded amidst the skies, generating tremors and rumbling sounds through the sky and even below.

BOOOMMM!!!

"Haaah... Haaa..." Triton gasped for air, glaring at Amethyst, who seemed to have taken almost no damage.

She was indeed a league above him, similar to Drake.

"You’re not half bad, brat, but you’re still lacking a lot of divine power," said Amethyst. "You’ll need to train really, really hard... it might not even be worth the time and effort wasted on you though... Master, why don’t you just bring him back to his home? It’s not really necessary to have him here when you got me and Root and Alma’s group too. You’ve got plenty of new allies."

"Hm..." Drake closed his eyes, rubbing his chin for a moment. "You think so...? What should I do?"

"Ah!" Triton’s eyes widened, realizing he would get dropped back to his home after coming this far...

It made him really, really mad.

And desperate.

"Wait! I can...! This isn’t all I’ve got!" Triton roared. "I’ll show you! I’m as deserving of the Dragon King’s teachings as you are!"

"Hah? And how? Can you show me, little kid?" Amethyst teased him, mocking him and laughing.

"I’ll show you now!"

Triton’s Aura suddenly compressed back into his body, as he roared loudly, as loudly as he could.

He channeled all of his wrath, all of his intense emotions, and let the "weird feeling" inside of his body to go to the maximum level.

And then, to let it all out!

"RUUUAAAAHHHHH!"

RUMBLE!

The entire Divine Realm trembled, as Triton’s entire body began to crack and shatter apart, exploding into glass-like pieces which disappeared into particles of light.

"What?!"

Amethyst’s eyes widened, as she felt Triton’s power level rapidly rising through the roof!

He was becoming hundreds of times stronger than before with each passing second.

It was as if everything she showed before was nothing but a joke, and now Triton was finally getting serious.

His true form emerged amidst his body shattering apart and disappearing, a huge, humanoid dragon made of ethereal soul essence of incredibly high purity, resembling azure and golden water-like ethereal energy.

He was translucent, almost like a spirit or a ghost.
