Prologue Part 2

He watched from a faraway mountain south of the battle. A black dragon was descending from the skies, and he could now feel an immense amount of power coming from the female warrior. This man sat cross-legged on the rocky mountain top, feeling the flow of energy as it moved through the air and observing the battle. Both hands were resting on his knees. His mid-length spiked white hair shuffled in the cold wind. He wore no upper body garment, just a single pair of long white pants with the words "Gokage" painted red going down on both sides and decorated with purple and yellow petals going down on both sides. He wore a beaded chain with the symbols of each element painted in its respectful colour. But these were no ordinary sized beads; each bead was about 5 inches in diameter. I can no longer resist the urge to find out who this person is; I must leave. He was taken aback because he had never felt such power before.

A power capable of matching his own, Zachael the Dragon Emperor, King of Flames He had spent his entire life training and fighting anyone who would challenge him. After reaching the pinnacle of his strength and conquering his continent, he decided to travel the world and conquer as much as he could. However, this was boring and lacked amusement; instead he placed his focus on the dragon lands.

Dragons are one of the few beasts known to have power levels of sage status and above. also said to be the only ones to exceed the legendary level. - They might be entertaining, he thought as he travelled the seas to their homeland. a journey not many sane men would take. But he was no ordinary man. Mastering all elements along with their sub elements at the age of 20 was quite a feat. He became a grand sage at age 25 and took over the throne after defeating the previous dragon king's army single headedly.

It took him 10 years to conquer the dragons. He could now summon any dragon he had defeated, which was nearly all of the dragons on the Dragon Continent. Only a few he didn't like or found interesting, so he didn't fight them. The more prideful dragons left the continent looking for their own place to rule. Being the Dragon King doesn't mean the dragons will just politely bow to you. You still needed to show them who was more powerful.

Now the power in front of him felt familiar. It appeared to be the first heiki he felt after arriving on one of the continent's islands after nearly ten years. He had to summon the power of his fire spirit to keep warm on an island so cold.

He travelled the island searching for the power he felt on arrival. He realized that the only other being on the island was himself and what he felt as he searched. It was when he came upon a cave hidden in the mountains and entered it. There he saw it—a beautiful black dragon lying asleep on the icy plains. Its wings pressed against its body. a single white gem in the centre of its forehead. He called for the creature to awaken and fight him. He was defeated with a single blast of heiki. He had no choice but to leave until he achieved more power. In his eighth year, he had reached the peak of legendary status after constant battles with these dragons and taming the fire elemental dragon, which was also found on its own island. Dwelling in lava, a dragon made just for him He was able to defeat and capture this dragon in his seventh year. When he came back to search for the ice dragon, it was no longer there. He lingered around the island and trained himself in the cold for the next 2 years; however, the dragon did not return. He decided to leave and go back to his home.

Now he felt that same power again—a beast he had desired since the moment he saw it.

Fear could be heard in the lord's voice as he began to speak: "We have no chance against that creature, my king; we must evacuate immediately!"

What stood before them could only be described as a demon. Lady Liana's heiki has grown exponentially. Standing there in fear of their lives, the lady's words rang through their minds: "Leave now and leave with your life. ""Fight, and this time I won't be so merciful." -

Now realizing the difference in power between them, a Blade Master and a newly awakened shaman knight, there were three types of warriors: a shaman knight, an elemental warrior, and the Blade Masters. A Shaman Knight was someone who had complete control over the spirit contained within a spirit blade and could freely control their heiki. They also had the power to communicate with spirits. An elemental warrior is someone who has mastered heiki and freely manipulates all forms of heiki, allowing them to manipulate the elements freely. A blade master is someone who has mastered the capabilities of a shaman knight and an elemental warrior. A blade master stood at the pinnacle of power.

Then the earth beneath them began to freeze, and as it froze, they realized that their armor was freezing from the sheer cold where they stood. Their faces were filled with horror as they realized they would freeze to death. They began pleading for their lives, but their plea fell on deaf ears. Liana continued her slow stride towards them, leaving small spikes of ice where she stepped. Her eyes were cold and emotionless; her sword was held to her side, the thin blade surrounded by a flow of mist. She then came to a halt. Her gaze narrowed on a figure. There was someone standing behind the king and his arch knight.

He approached the king and his lord with his hands on his hips, his head leaning backwards, and looking up at something only he could see, unaffected by the cold of her Ice Spirit and Dragon. Her eyes narrowed as she focused on the figure, who began to walk forward in the same position he held. Each step he took melted the snow into an evaporating mist. "Who is this person?" were her thoughts. Someone who could bear her ice field was something she had never come across. She watched as the mist escaped from the ground and dissolved into the air. His white hair ever flowing in the wind, a body filled with scars from countless battles she assumed. The sword sheathed at his side gave off a mysterious aura—a spirit blade? Is he a Blade Master?

"Oye!" He had a mysterious smile on his face as he spoke. There was something about it that caused Liana to tense up and immediately take a defensive stance. This caused him to smile even more. "Hmm... Why so tense?" he teased. He was now standing between the two who had challenged her. They looked at him with both fear and confusion. "Help us, and all your wishes shall be granted, oh great warrior!" the king managed to force out his words. Zachael looked down at the king and then at the knight before speaking, "Pests." with a scornful look. Before either of them could react, the dragon emperor had already separated their heads from their bodies. Blood sprayed through the air, and their bodies fell limp to the ground. The red blood, so vivid against the white snow and ice "I've heard much about you, my lady. I have traveled the 7 continents just to fight with you. "Please don't disappoint," he lied.

"Who are you?"

"I am just a man looking for someone to entertain me. Your legend has reached my domain, and I am eager to put that power to the test. I see you have the ice dragon in your possession, a beast I failed to defeat the first time I came across it, and now you have it as a pet. "This alone entices me," he said, "I shall not hold back." He then released a surge of energy mixed with his base heiki. Liana watched as a flame-based aura surrounded him and ate away at her ice. She could feel the intensity of his power from where she stood. Indeed, he was a Blade Master; looking in his eyes, they were green and had specks of red going around in a circular motion. He withdrew his sword, and her dragon, Climica, gave out a thunderous roar. This caused Zachael to smile before speaking. "Summoning of the Dragon's Emperor" Upon doing so, the sky distorted, sand a portal was formed, and from this portal, a multitude of wyverns appeared.

"Kill them all, Climica!"

With the command issued, Climica took to the skies. She was more than three times the size of the wyverns that challenged her, and she took them apart mercilessly. ripping their heads, wings, and limbs from their bodies, freezing some with her ice breath, which caused them to fall to the ground and crumble to pieces. At the same time her dragon flew to the sky, Liana charged at her new opponent and slashed at him with her sword. He dodged, but she followed with a vertical slash, which he dodged again, and she followed with multiple attacks, which he managed to avoid for a while before having to block and push Liana back and go on the offensive. Liana could only block; each time their blades connected with each other, a shock wave was released, ripping away the pieces of the wyverns that fell from the sky. Liana retreated a few feet from Zachael and released one of her attacks, "Icicle Storm," and around her, ice spears about 3 feet long began to form. As soon as they formed completely, she sent them forward at incredible speed. She was able to fire off over 200 spears within a second towards the Dragon Emperor, leaving a cloud of mist where he stood.

The ground around Liana suddenly rose up and clasped itself together to crush her in the middle. However, she was able to put up a barrier just before being crushed. Then the ground beneath her shot her up into the sky, much to her surprise. Regaining her focus just in time to see the multiple boulders coming at her, "Tempest Wind!" she yelled as she flicked her palm through the air, and a razor-sharp gust of wind sliced the boulders into multiple pieces that flew past her. The boulders then stopped mid-air and turned into sand that wrapped around her, and again she managed to conjure a barrier before being squeezed. With a flick of his hand, the sand around Liana pulled her to the ground with incredible force and collided with the earth with a thunderous sound; it left a crater where it hit the ground. He held out his left hand and started to move his fingers. The ground separated as giant roots burst forth, attacking Liana. So I was right—he is a blade Master. He can use multiple elements at his will, even sub-elements and his base fire; how else can he withstand my ice field? This is going to be harder than I thought. Liana was dodging and slicing the roots that came at her; whenever she tried to get close, more roots would push her back. In that case, "Ice Wilderness!" The ground instantly froze over, and a wall of mist was formed, concealing her.

Zachael narrowed his eyes What is she playing at? Hmm? What's this? I feel a chill. I haven't felt the cold in a long time. Zachael looked around and used his abilities to see his surroundings. By doing so, he saw that Liana had reduced the distance of the ice field to a smaller area. - I see the ice field being released when she summons her spirit from her blade. This explains why her dragon appeared upon her entering the awakened form. - While thinking, he increased the temperature around him to get rid of the chill he was feeling. He looked to the sky and could no longer see the dragons fighting, but he heard the roar of the ice dragon and the cry of his wyverns. - The dragon, sensing the change in its master, uses its own ability to open a portal and summon itself to protect her. What an incredible bond they have. How long has she been in charge of it for this to happen? It has to be before I even meet it. But then hadn't it returned to the island? His thoughts were interrupted, and he opened his eyes wide with disbelief and at the same time with joy. What he saw was Liana preparing a large energy blast, which appeared white with a blue hue around it. I see now that you used your ability to create a new home for him to keep him close and avoid anyone trying to capture it. You probably had it since you were a baby, or it was passed down to you from generation to generation.

Zachael was right; Climica had been in their family for over a hundred years. She was still a young dragon, but an extremely rare one. Because ice dragons are said to have mythical status, he waited two years for it to return. To have it by his side along with the fire dragon would have made him impossible to defeat.

He smiled blissfully as he saw Liana charging her blast with her attack, and he exclaimed, "Roar, King of Flames Nerion." He spoke to the spirit of his sword, and the moment he spoke, the ground around him for about 4 meters became magma, and he was surrounded by a barrier. Liana's attack met the barrier head on, and there was an enormous explosion that expanded about 100 meters due to the blast radius being contained by her will. "Come forth, dragon of flames, Kimori."

Everything fell silent as the sky turned a fiery red. As if sensing something terrible was about to happen, all of the wyverns flew back to the portal from which they had entered. The black dragon gave off a low growl, forming snowflakes around itself that exploded on contact, and prepared for what was to come. Then it came through the portal. a body that appeared to be made of red crystals but did not reflect light. It was the same size as the ice dragon, with black eyes, a single red line down the middle of its back, eyes locked on its master, and razor-sharp fangs and claws. A white crystal with a raging flame going about in it was perfectly set in the middle of its forehead. The mythical fire dragon Kimori

It's him. Liana's eyes fluttered with the realization of who she was fighting. The dragon Emperor Zachael This is no time for me to hold back. She immediately took a defensive stance, and Zachael's eyes widened with excitement—but not because she took a defensive stance; it was what she did next. Around Liana, there was a ring of lightning going around, followed by fire, wind, and earth.
