Will of chaos

Pov Arash:

After I make the two traitors leave I can no longer contain my anger and create a Territory around me to contain the explosion of my Aura in the surroundings just for this throne room.

"That's not enough, nothing will ever be enough to earn my trust!" (I)

"Calm down boy, you did well, acted like a true ruler." (Akatosh)

A young man with 3 large crystal horns on his head, golden eyes, white skin, and black hair, he wears simple clothes like residents of farmers' villages, but his eyes filled with a strength and confidence that knows no bounds would not fool anyone.

He walked through the space that shattered into his body form as he simply walked out through the space to appear in front of me.

"I should have killed them..." (I)

"You can say what you like, but it wasn't my decision to let them live in the past and it wasn't now either." (Akatosh)

"I had the other Dragons arrest and seal you back then to keep you from destroying yourself with all those continuous battles." (Akatosh)

"I know... but that Spirit is right, she wouldn't want to see me kill someone who wasn't part of the events of that day." (I)

"You did the right thing today, the reason I didn't interfere in this matter was my trust in you that you always knew the right thing to do." (Akatosh)

"You say that, but if it was up to me, maybe I would have killed them both." (I)

"But it didn't." (Akatosh)

I look up at the youth shorter than me, the Dragon God Akatosh, whose mere presence within my Territory is causing the space to crack little by little.

"Enemies are many in this current age, and the Church of Light is only 1 of them, as leader of the Dragons you always knew you would need more allies, so don't turn down someone who could become a valuable ally because of your prejudices." (Akatosh) 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

"I know, that's why I did it, I said the traitor's name to know which side he was on." (I)

I spoke the name of the ancient Dragon of Light that led his tribe at that time, Luminus' reaction was more explosive than I expected, but it showed that he is not allied with that traitor.

"I would have killed him here if his reaction was different." (I)

"I want to know something, did you know he was alive?" (I)

"Yes." (Akatosh)

"Then why didn't he do anything? He betrayed everything being a True Dragon represents." (I)

"Because there are worse punishments than death, he lost what mattered most to him, he can no longer be considered a Dragon ever again." (Arash)

Pov Zenos:

I was training together with Ibuki in the training room, the reason for this training was just fighting techniques and martial arts, and before I knew it many people had gathered to see us training.

I throw a spin kick which she catches before spinning around taking advantage of my strength to throw me away, but that's what I wanted.

I used this opening of hers to grab her neck with my tail ending the fight with the crystal blade at the tip of my tail on her neck.

"I lost again..." (Ibuki)

"You've gotten so used to using your shadow abilities to the point where you've become dependent on them." (I)

Sigh

"In a fight, anything goes to win, there can always be enemies with more limbs than you or unique capabilities their bodies possess." (I)

"That's why I taught that martial art to you in the past." (I)

"But you know the moves..." (Ibuki)

"Every martial art benefits from the body, even if I know the strikes, I can't pay attention everywhere at once or guess where you're going to strike." (I)

"Let's go again." (I)

I fought dozens of times with Ibuki, she is very strong, but her mistakes are apparent, she focused too much on training with her swords and her techniques with shadows, this left gaps in her basic fighting techniques that I taught her in the past.

This time the fight lasted longer, and with each fight, she learned from her mistakes, this time she was focusing on my tail knowing that I can use it against her at any time.

My punches started to be deflected to the side with her hands, my kicks were stopped before they gained power and even my bite was blocked with her claws.

After several moments of exchanging blows I spat on her forehead half a second before she grabbed my neck, then the people watching came in to interrupt our training.

"It was excellent training, it seems Ibuki learned very quickly." (Diana)

"But what was the last part? Why the spit?" (Karina)

"To show the opening she left, I could have won there if I wanted to, but I was afraid of hurting her too much." (I)

"Could have killed her, looks like she needs more training." (Diana)

Diana understood what I was going to do as usual, if it was a real fight I could have gathered blood in my mouth before it crystallized into the form of a dart or needle that would pierce the target's head at this close range.

Even without using skills, I could have pulled out one of my nails or teeth to use as a projectile at this distance, my lungs are strong not only from my current strength but also because of being a Dragon.

While I was talking with Diana and Karina, the Hero decided to approach me while his friend Priestess was tying up her other maniac friend with chains.

"I wanted to ask you something if it's not a problem." (Alan)

"Just say what you need to, but if it's another class on justice bullshit and stuff I'm going to decline." (I)

"It's nothing about that, you were right that I need to find the answers myself, what I want to ask is something else." (Alan)

"Then you can talk." (I)

"I saw your fight training with that Demon, your way of fighting is strange, you manipulate your opponent in certain points and in others you deceive them, where I trained they would call it dirty fighting." (Alan)

"Clearly they're idiots." (I)

"Yes, any Adventurer must know how to trick his opponents during a fight." (Diana)

"A real battle has no rules, restricting your choice of moves is the same as fighting with restrictions." (Karina)

"Both are right." (I)

"I agree with you, in Coliseum City I saw many fighting like Zenos and I lost many times to this type of opponent in the Coliseum." (Alan)

"That's why I wanted to know if I can train with you, I need an opponent of at least equal strength to train with, plus you've demonstrated exactly the kind of practical techniques I need to learn both to use and to defend myself with." (Alan)

What he's saying doesn't sound bad, maybe I can learn a little from him too, knowing how a Hero fights for example. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

"Alright, we can train..." (I)

"Master, a Floating Ship belonging to a merchant company stopped beside us and asked for a meeting." (Freya)

"Floating Merchant Ship?" (I)
