Three days passed by quickly as Zaraf and Lily went through tortuous hours of training. Dub was able to pull them into a mental landscape allowing them to spar going all out. However, it was more of a one sided beating on their part as Dub battle power is hundred thousand. There is also s vast combat experience that neither Zaraf or Lily could match.
So for eight hours they would spar inside the mental landscape dramatically racing their combat experience. Eight hours would be spent on body conditioning and sage training which Lily would think about her technique. They would have two hour rest before sleeping six hours and repeating. However their battle power did raise nearly three thousand in power from the training.
==============================
[Name: Zeref (Zero)
Age:Six years old nine Months
Bloodline: Middle-Class Saiyan (93%), Elite-Class Saiyan (7%)
Battle Power: 26,900 (2)
Multiverse Points: 33,000
==============================
His points managed to raise by a thousand due to the intense fighting as he landed a few blows on Dub. It was also due to the large gap in power that the system gave him points for it. However they couldn’t force the man to go all out or enter sage mode, but since it a singly sided it understandable.
“Your first matches are today, young ones. They should be around your level or tiny bit stronger than you.” Dub explained as they enter a rest stage as the match can happen at any point. It would be pointless to enter the match tired and nearly or die because of that if you could easily beat the opponent.
Peacefully sitting in their cell, both Zaraf and Lily waited for their first match of five. A few hours passed before the guards arrive in front of the cell. They wore a black uniform that looked like armor which confused Zaraf. He didn’t know how good armor would do when there beings who destroy planets with a sneeze.
In their hands a staff was present with electric floating on the tip of it. It reminded Zaraf of a taser a really long one, but with a lot higher voltage. Demons naturally have a tougher body, so their taser is like getting hit with lightning. Zaraf nearly found that out the day before when a guard decided to ‘play’.
Unlikely for the guard and good luck for him Towa came for a visit. She seems to spent most of the last few days attempting to change her brother mind. Though she did start building an energy scanner similar to the scouter. However it scans a much larger area and offers a 3-D map.
How Towa managed to build that in a few days surprised Zaraf and Lily as they really wanted her to join them. Though having to wait nearly half a year before they could continue was a downer in their adventure. At least they can practice their techniques and have a few strong opponents. Zaraf was happy he can learn sage mode as he thought it be harder to find a teacher, but he got one in jail.
The thought of the universe giving him a teacher in need started Zaraf thinking that there more. However when he remember the few things about dragon ball that he knew it might just be the universe in play. The idea of plot armor just never crossed his mind and didn’t believe it existed, or maybe the system has something to do with it.
“Zaraf, your first match is against Thief Pawndel with a battle power of thirty thousand. It is set in one hour. Lily, your first match is against Butcher Lucy with a battle power of twenty eight thousand. It is set right after Zaraf’s ends.” The guard said emotionless before leaving.
“It seems neither of you have any luck for your first opponent. Thief Pawndel is a high level thief that takes everything and his victims life. He had a body count of over a hundred before he was caught. Butcher Lucy well she a butcher just her target were others of the demon race. She had a body count of sixty known but speculated in the hundreds.” Dub said rubbing his chin explaining their opponents history.
“It sounds like Dubura wants to get rid of us inside the arena.” Zaraf said hoping the last minute training will help. He also hoped his fighting experience from his last life will help, but he doubt a brawler style will help.
“Why would he want that?” Lily tilted her head.
“To see if we are strong, or to get back at his sister for not picking the highest punishment. I’m not an expert in demon personality and I only met him once and that was with you.” Zaraf replied.
“He used to be calmer and not as aggressive but since a few centuries ago when that M appeared he became the current him. Whenever I attempted to remove it or find out who the foreign energy belong to he become more angry.” Dub said rubbing his chin.
“Well. it not like we can investigate it since we are currently stuck.” Zaraf said as he began clearing his mind preparing for his fight.
Lily who was next to him was doing the same as hint of excitement was forming a smile on her. She was looking forward to the fight as it the first time it around her strength and not Zaraf or a beast. The thought of possibly dying never really crossed her mind as both Zaraf and her can easily escape.
Why don’t they Flame Step away, is they can befriend Towa by staying, Zaraf can learn Sage Mode, and they can only Flame Step a few miles at a time. Also the thought of those stronger coming at them relentlessly didn’t sound appealing. Not even Saiyan thirst for battle would wish for that.
Soon, an hour passed and Zaraf match was about to begin. Following the Guards to the arena, he waved bye to Lily, Zaraf began wondering how the match is going to end. When he arrived at the arena, he paid attention to his surrounds and sighed. The entire ground was made of said with blood covering parts of it.
Across the arena he spotted a tall green figure that looked more like a twig than a fighter. However the look in his eye and feral grin mde Zaraf realized that his opponent has underestimated him. He could understand due to him suppressing his Ki that if feels weaker than a bug. There is also his current size that make him look five instead of nearly seven.
“Are you ready to die kid?” Pawndel arrogantly said flexing his twig arms.
“Careful you might snap.” Zaraf calmly said earning a few laughs.
“You just earned yourself a one way ticket to otherworld for that.” Pawndel shouted as he vanished from view.
Ducking below Pawndel kick to the back of his head, Zaraf grabbed his foot before twisting it. Screaming as Zaraf nearly snapped his ankle, Pawndel hopped back regretting he was overconfident.
Following up his counter, Zaraf started sending his attacks with his feet and hands numbing some. It seems that demon have a harder skin than he realized however he could tell his opponent is feeling his attack.
The two began taking turns beating each other that small cuts or bruises began appearing on their body. However neither of them gave up as they wanted to win. The fierce battle rage on for nearly ten minutes before Zaraf gather Ki in his right hand and used his Dragon Fist.
A large dragon has red scales with black claws and teeth appeared behind him. Surprised by the attack, Pawndel forgot to raise his guard and took a direct hit shifting his organs around while rapidly moving Ki shredded his skin on the outside. The sound of a dragon roar covered his own scream.
When the attack ended, he fell to the ground powerless as hundreds of cuts covered his skin while his internal organs barely functioning. However the sound of a dragon roar still rang in his ears.
“The winner is Zaraf.” The announcer shouted as the crowd cheered as a bruise Zaraf smiled. His wounds should allow him a power boost of a few hundred when he fully heals. However he also knew he got lucky since his opponent underestimated him and that won’t happen again.
Dragging himself back to the cell, he quickly high fived Lily as she was taken to her match. In the cell a first aid box was placed with his name on it. Next to it a similar one was place with Lily’s name on it with Dub smiling to him.
“Towa dropped it off during you match. By your current state you didn’t do too bad as none of your internal organs or bone seems bruised or broken.” Dub said not removing his smile.
Nodding as he listened to Dub, Zaraf began dressing his wounds as to stop the blood from merging with his clothes. He remember the pain of getting blood out of his clothes in his last life and he currently don’t have any more. The guards took all their gear they prepared for the adventure before the trail a few days ago.
Five minutes later, they heard a loud bang and the crowd cheering as they heard Lily has won the battle. It sad that Zaraf couldn’t watch her match as he love watching her fight. Back on Planet Myths he would happily watch her spar with different beast sometime. It was because it like she looked like an angel as she smiled the more she fought.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
However by the loud bang, Zaraf guessed she used her Mountain Fist she made herself. He knew the theory behind it, but never really thought of learning it. How it work is she gather nearly triple the safe amount of in her fist and upon contact exploded it outwards. She nearly lost her hand when she first used it.
A few minutes later she returned smiling as she has a few large bruises and cuts on her arms and stomach. Grabbing her first aid kit, Zaraf began dressing her up as she began telling them about her fight.
“She was huge at least a few meters tall and swung around two large butcher knives. Zaraf are you listening.” Lily asked.
“Yes, so what happened next.” Zaraf rolled his eyes but a hint of pride for were in his smile.
“Well she kept swinging the her knives around making it hard to get near her. If she had proper training with blades it would been harder, however soon I found a pattern. Using that chance I landed a few devastation strikes on her. That when she started to spin around very fast like a blurry tornado causing some of this cuts. So I decided to use my Mountain Fist and end the battle there.” Lily went on with her eyes shiny that scream praise me.
“Careful, you sound like your bragging and sounds like your number one in the universes.” Zaraf said as he finished bandaging her up.
“Why can’t you let me have this moment.” Lily cutely pouted.
“Pride is a very dangerous things as it easily leads to arragants and mistakes that can cost you or your friends lives.” Dub sagly said.
“Fine.” Lily mumbled as she thought of losing Zaraf.
For the next few days, they continued to train hard as Dub said that their next opponents will be much stronger. Since the two easily beat their last opponent, they are ones with a battle power of fifty thousand and basic training. When Zaraf asked how they can have such a high battle power without training, Dub say demon unconsciously collected as they age. Well until they have a battle power of hundred thousand than which begs the question. How strong is Dub?
While they were finishing up Sage training session, Towa appeared again. This time she brought them their clothes she made with more durable fabric. Somehow, both her and Lily began discussing different clothes and spark a deep friendship. Though when Zaraf asked his answer was she was barely a friend.
How is Towa barely your friend? Lily you two spent the last two hours talking about shoes. Zaraf thought as he sighed. FInally he fully healed from his wounds and training for the day he pulled up his new stats.

===============================
My power didn’t really increase much. Zaraf thought as he thought about it and realized he didn’t sustain life threatening injuries. He only had a few bruises and cuts and if he suddenly had a large jump. Well, some fighting race if they power up by a papercut. There also the next limiter that I need to unlock at fifty thousand and so far away.
[Beep! Host doesn’t need to worry as saiyans can’t really train to their full potential until they hit puberty. So, your battle power will start to skyrocket nearly three time the speed when you turn fifteen.]
Why did I want to become a saiyan again oh yeah to explore all their transformations. Only I forgot they age slower and takes time to unlock. Maybe I should stop complaining about being a saiyan all the time. Nah, still going to rant about it from time to time because I am moody Zaraf! Zaraf thought as he thought he been a moody about being a slow growing saiyan even if it was his wish.
“What are you thinking about Zaraf?” Lily asked.
“Our future adventures and a place to call home I guess. I was also thinking about the curse of growing slowly as it limiting our current potential.” Zaraf said.
“How?” Lily looked confused.
“Our small bodies can only handle so much Ki before it starts straining itself or we might exploded. Why do you think we grow when we go into Oozaru forms?” Zaraf said putting his finger on her noses.
“Because we would exploded with Ki, but we also burn through our energy so fast due to maintain our older bodies.” Lily rolled her eyes as she answered.
“Well, at least we can move up to thirty times gravity, but remember to lower it when our next match arrives.” Zaraf said getting her to hug him in excitement.
Dub who was listening shook his head as he pretend not to notice the cold sweat down his back. He been out of the demon realm and meet some of the ancient saiyans and some who could use transform. It was terrifying as they had battle powers in the hundred thousands before they fell.
Why didn’t I pick up on the fact they are saiyans sooner. I must be getting old. Dub thought as he excited for the pair future together. Maybe I can convince Towa to travel with them. Even if nothing comes out of it she at least have some good friends.
Unaware of Dub thoughts, Zaraf increased the gravity by five increasing the pressure. His movements became sluggish and appeared difficult to move. Next to him Lily was in a similar state adjusting a bit better. Slowly moving around, attempted to adjust faster so their training could increase better,
“What are you two doing?” Dub asked curiously.
“Increasing the gravity on our bodies which improves our training speed.” Zaraf replied keeping amount out on purpose. .
He might trust the man enough to teach him how to handle sage energy, but everyone has their own training style. Dub might be using sage energy,while Zaraf and Lily’s are increasing the gravity. Another thing Zaraf noticed that the speed that their cell are being refined in the Demon realm increase with the gravity.
What originally supposed take a couple years has been lower by a few months igniting an idea in Zaraf head. The idea is to adapt quickly to the current gravity and increase again soon. Thought that idea was tossed out the window as it might lead to injuries before the next fight. The thought of causing his own or Lily’s death for a quickly strengthening their bodies wasn’t worth it.
How much longer should I wait for the time stopper ability I add? Zaraf wondered if the increase gravity and realm increase the merging time or prolong it.
[Beep! Due to Host current actions of entering the Demon Realm and increased Gravity, he cut off a couple weeks. Current time left: two months and one day.]
“If your saiyans how come you haven’t injured yourselves for a power boost?” Dub asked bring Zaraf out of his thoughts.
“Why would we want a quick power up. It better if we hold off using that ability of our as the gains are better. Also nearly dying a lot for a couple hundred or thousand battle power doesn’t seem worth it.” Zaraf said with Lily nodding.
On Planet Myths they found that out with Azure training as it constantly pushed them near death. However since their young bodies couldn’t handle most of the instant increase it waiting until their bodies can. So, when Lily and his body mature into their adult form and come close to death a massive increase is waiting. If he was supposed to estimate the current amount it should be around twenty thousand to hundred thousand. That only add to what they receive alongside the one from their newer experience healing their injuries.
Our bodies should be able to handle more of the Ki boost now since they are stronger. So the next time we are heavily injured a massive increase in strength is in store. It would easily increase our power level above fifty thousand. Which would allow me to break the genetic limiter increasing our talent even more. Zaraf began thinking which he been doing a lot lately.
“Ah, that smart the longer it grows better the gains like investing in the future.” Dub nodded in understanding.
For the next few weeks both Lily and Zaraf increased their training waiting for their next match. However Towa would drop by every few days dropping something off or chatting. As for Zaraf's Sage training he manage gathered nature energy without turning to stone.Though it a weaker version barely multiplying his battle power by two instead of five.
His appearance on the other hand changed as red primal tattoos appeared all over his body when he enter sage mode. Though his eyes gained a another green ring now when he went into his Ooruza form. So now he has Red, Black, and Green rings around is iris when he transformed while Lily still has only the red.
A week before the next match, Zaraf and Lily were taking a break from their training. The thought of training becoming boring sat heavy on their shoulders. With nothing to do all day except train, with little variety slowly gnawed away at their patients.
“Being in a cell sucks.” Lily groaned as she leaned her head on Zaraf shoulder.
“Yes it is, and training became boring due to lack of variety or change in menu.” Zaraf said as both shudder as it against their nature not to train, fight or adventure. Current they can’t do anything except a monotone training.
“Only four more fights and months to go.” Lily groaned.
“I think I be ready to leave the Demon Realm by than, or explore somewhere else.” Zaraf mumbled.
“There not much to see in the demon realm. Most just go to work in Other world in any of the twelve universes.” Dub shrugged.
“There twelve universe?” Lily asked in surprise.
More like fourteen for this entire universe. There are the twelve realms, than the higher existence realm and the Demon realm. Zaraf thought but decided to to mention his theory.
“Well us demon like to call them realms really. However if the two of you want to travel through between the universe you need to gain permission from the Kais or powerful enough tear a hole between them. The current you aren’t even close for either option so you have to stick to Realm seven for now.” Dub informed them causing a slight sigh from them.
“Then I guess there nothing to explore after we get out of here? Actually why are we still here since we can escape at anytime?” Zaraf wonder.
“To convince Towa to come with us. Also for you to learn and gain the ability not to turn to stone when practicing sage mode later on.” Lily said as if it natural.
“I guess sitting around in a cell is messing with my memories?” Zaraf laughed.
“Hmm, at the rate you're going you should be set in a couple weeks.” Dub shrugged.
“Let do this and leave this place.” Zaraf raised his fist in the air getting pumped.
