True King's Ecstasy

Chapter 264 Absurd Daughter

Aurora, the small girl with bright blue eyes, stood her ground against the towering Orog monster. The creature's grey skin looked like it was made of stone, and its bulging muscles hinted at immense strength. It looked horrendous with all the veins popping out of its muscles and blood all over its body showing this wasn't the first encounter it had.

Aurora was not afraid, though. She knew she had inherited some of the dragon's magical abilities, and she was eager to put them to the test.

She didn't know any of the skills she had, but Aurora felt something inside her body, that asked her to go rampage against this monster in front of her.

Velian and Aurora's mothers Daphnia, Sariya, Elda and Delviny watched from a safe distance, hidden behind a tree.

They didn't want to be caught in the battle and disturb her daughter, but Velian's keg was always ready to run and grab Aurora, in case something unexpected happen.

They had taught Aurora everything they knew about magic and fighting, but they had never seen her use it in a real fight before and was the chance.

"Look at her go," Velian whispered to the girls, his eyes fixed on his daughter.

"She's got the fire of a dragon in her heart. She will be a proud and beautiful dragon in future,"

Daphnia smiled, her eyes shining with pride.

"She's a true warrior, just like her father."

She possessed a power that burned bright within her, a power that was intimately tied to the element of fire. Flames licked at her fingertips, wreathing her in a corona of golden light that shone like a beacon against the darkness of the forest.

The Orog monster roared a guttural sound that shook the very trees around them. It charged forward, its massive arms swinging in a frenzy of rage.

But Aurora was not one to be intimidated. With a swift motion, she raised her hand, and a searing bolt of fire leapt forth to meet the creature head-on.

(Nuclear blast)

The monster took the attack head-on, but it didn't stop charging at the small girl with an unbelievable speed.

Although it didn't stop its charge, the same cannot be said for its body as it took a massive amount of damage just by that single shot.

Aurora darted to the side quickly as the monster swung a massive fist at her. She closed her eyes and focused, her hands glowing with a soft red light. When she opened her eyes again, they shone like rubies.

"Blast!" she shouted, thrusting her hands forward.

A blast of hectic blaze shot from Aurora's fingertips, enveloping the forest in black smoke. The monster roared in anger, its breath turning to flame in the air. But Aurora was relentless. She summoned her claws that were hiding inside her fingers, they looked really pointy and small, but the effect of those nails was even more dangerous than an adult wolf.

Velian and the girls watched in awe as their daughter continued to fight with skill and grace. They knew that she was destined for greatness.

And someday she would have to face opponents like other dragons. Especially, Velian knew this since dragons always try to kill other newborn dragons, so that they can maintain the balance.

"She's amazing," Delviny whispered. "I can't believe she's only three months old."

Velian nodded. "She's a natural. She's got the gift, just like we did. Unlike humans, they teach their adulthood by the age of ten, so we won't be able to see our baby anymore,"

Aurora's battle with the Orog lasted for several minutes, but in the end, she emerged victorious. The monster lay defeated at her feet, its stone-like skin cracked and broken.

Aurora turned to her parents, a broad smile on her face. "Me, good?"

She exclaimed with an excited voice.

Velian and the girls rushed forward, hugging their daughter tightly.

"We knew you could do it," Velian said, his voice choked with emotion. "We're so proud of you, Aurora."

They were basking in the joy, while Aurora adorably smiled after her first kill.

But suddenly, the ground beneath them trembled as the sound of thundering footsteps grew closer. Velian's ears twitched as he listened intently, trying to discern the source of the disturbance. It wasn't until the surrounding birds and monsters erupted into a cacophony of panicked shrieks and howls that she realized what they were dealing with.

A huge threat, that might be too dangerous for the girls.

"Sister, take everyone and hide in the cave I showed you, make sure you go deep inside," Velian ordered expecting the thing he was hoping for would come to meet him.

"Veli, what are you talking about?"

"It might be a dragon, just in case go and hide, I won't be able to deal with it, if you stay here especially Aurora," Velian wasn't trying to sacrifice his life or anything.

He genuinely wanted to meet another dragon to discuss many things including Aurora's matter and the information it know about the competitors.

He had never faced one of these mighty beasts before seriously, and the prospect of doing so now filled her with a mix of joy and excitement. Her daughter, too, looked both thrilled and nervous, her eyes darting around the forest as she tried to locate the source of the approaching footsteps.

But Delviny quickly nodded her head and decided to believe her brother. She knew he won't be reckless to get killed with all these girls around him.

"Believe me, go and hide, I won't get killed, if I can't fight, I will escape, with my Levitation, I can easily escape,"

With those words, everyone ran in the direction where Delviny guided them and quickly hid inside the cave, where Yuvanna used to live.

It took them a good amount of time to do that, but the footsteps were rather slow, so they had enough time to hide.

The forest fell silent, save for the rhythmic thud of the dragon's footsteps. Velian could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he prepared to face this formidable foe.

"Now, will this dragon be my enemy or friend? I hope it will be something advantageous,"
