Still Loved Even In The New World
Chapter 206: The Heart of the Dragon.

The human figure descended slowly from the fifteen-meter-high cliff wall by sticking his nails into the hard rock of the cliff.

Looking at the earth dragon that was becoming increasingly weak, the figure jumped down from the cliff. He moved slowly towards the direction the two monster bodies were lying on. Step by step, very light and slow. After his body passed through the foggy area, finally the figure could be clearly seen.

The figure looked like a boy of about nine or ten years old with his wild and unkempt appearance. The upper part of his body was naked, revealing slender muscles that were not particularly prominent. The lower part of the body is covered by animal skin that is processed very roughly.

His hair was long and messy. Many hairs are tangled and dusty with a few leaves stuck between the strands of her hair. The child moved slowly towards the body of the earth dragon who was in a weak condition.

His right hand held the iron rod tighter. The amethyst purple eyes of the child also lit up warily, staring at the earth dragon that was lying weakly on the ground.

As if sensing something, the earth dragon attempted to raise its head and growled softly towards the child. Although his internal organs were severely injured, but with the vitality possessed by the earth dragon, he was still able to stand though. In shaky conditions.

Staggered, the dragon stood facing the boy. Feeling that his opponent was only a weak little creature, the dragon launched its attack against the boy with its powerful front claws.

Seeing the aggressiveness of the earth dragon that was still very strong, the boy had already prepared from the start. As soon as the earth dragon attack came, the boy leaped up nimbly and managed to dodge the earth dragon's sharp claws.

Srakk...

The claw that was as hard as a steel nail was scratching at the hard rock and leaving a deep scratch mark on its surface. The boy jumped onto the cliff wall and swung his rusty iron rod towards the head of the earth dragon.

The two hands of the boy were covered by the shiny black dragon scales that looked sturdy. In each piece of scales was a complex and mysterious luminous purple pattern.

A purple aura enveloped the body of the stick, making the rusty iron stick a deadly weapon.

Bang...!

Graoooo...!

The child's attack hit the head of the earth dragon. However the earth dragon body was extremely powerful, making the child's attack less effective. Despite this, the powerful earth dragon still lowered his head due to the kinetic energy of the child's attack, making the sturdy earth dragon feel pain and dizziness.

After landing an attack on the dragon, the boy directly backflip backwards to take some distance. The furious dragon would not give the child a chance to stabilize its figure, and directly swung its huge tail towards the little boy who was still hovering in the air.

Looking at the attack that came quickly, the boy positioned his iron rod in front of the body to protect his body from the tail of the earth dragon.

Bang...!

The boy was hit hard and thrown into the cliff wall like a baseball. The hard wall cracked and collapsed due to the impact of a very hard impact.

The child slowly crawled from the stone ruins. His entire body had been covered by the mysterious black dragon scales armor. In addition, the boy's head also had four long horns that curved backwards, making the child's appearance even more ferocious, but also heroic with black dragon armor.

Just coming out of the pile of rocks and earth, a huge reptilian leg had arrived before his face. The boy immediately raised the rusty stick above his head.

Bangs...

A loud clash sounded. The little body of the child was extremely disproportionate to the enormous earth dragon. However, even though his body was small, the boy managed to withstand the incursion of an extremely powerful earth dragon. Although the earth dragon was currently in a weak state, but with his heavy body weight and the muscle strength he could still draw out, it should have been enough to flatten the little boy into a thick flesh.

But it didn't happen. The boy managed to hold the feet of the earth dragon with both of his hands holding the rusty iron rod. The solid rock floor under his feet cracked and shattered, forming a huge crater.

The boy with all his might threw the earth dragon's huge foot to give him some escape room. As the feet of the earth dragon jolted, the child managed to escape the earth dragon's incursion. He immediately ran and rolled down the chin of the earth dragon.

His muscles creaked loudly. The boy grasped the stick with all his might and took a javelin.

Swoss....!

Bang...!

Garaoo...!

The boy threw his staff like a javelin, right hitting the lower jaw of the earth dragon which was one of his weak points. The violent clash made the head of the earth dragon look up to the sky forcibly.

The excruciating pain made the earth dragon roar extremely loudly. The boy did not give up this opportunity. He immediately jumped high into the air, right parallel to the throat of the earth dragon.

The boy swung his right hand which was covered by black scales armor. The mysterious pattern on the scales of his right hand lit up with a bright purple light.

A bright purple aura gathered very quickly and formed a shadow of a huge transparent purple dragon claw that looked extremely strong. With a wind-splitting sound, the transparent purple dragon claw cut through the wound in the throat of that earth dragon, leaving the carotid artery in its neck severed.

Blood spurted from the wound on the neck of that earth dragon, making the earth dragon cry out in pain. His already shaky body instantly fell to the ground and made the dust on the ground rise.

The earth dragon whose neck had been cut off was still growling softly, but the blood that kept coming out of its neck made the earth dragon weaker and weaker. After a while, only his feet twitched.

The boy watched the earth dragon who was starting to lose vitality from the side while taking back his staff lying on the ground.

The boy leaned against one side of the canyon slope to recover his strength. Although it looked fine, but the little boy was also seriously injured.

The scales lining his body began to disappear, revealing skin full of cuts and bruises. Although the flesh wound was nothing, but the energy wave from the earth dragon's attack still penetrated into his internal organs, creating some damage in the child's internal organs. It could be seen from the blood at the corners of his mouth and nose.

For a while, the boy rested on the cliff wall with a heavy breath. Slowly, the boy fell asleep in a deserted canyon.

Actually in the canyon there is a complete ecosystem, but because the aura of two powerful monsters fighting, making monsters and other creatures in the canyon away. At least for the next half a month, there would be no low-level creatures that dared to approach.. For a high-level creature, perhaps they would dare to go to this place after a few days. After all, the aura of an earth dragon was still extremely frightening to them.

As the sun began to sink and the four large moons became brighter, the boy opened his eyes slowly. The light from the four bright moons could not penetrate into the canyon because it was too deep and filled with fog, making the bottom of the canyon look dark and cold.

The boy grabbed the iron stick nearby and stood up slowly. The dark environment did not affect the visibility of the child. He walked slowly towards the earth dragon's body.

He originally only wanted to hunt for food, but the sound of the fight of the two boss monsters caught his attention so he came to this place to try to take advantage of the fight.

Looking at the weak earth dragon, he did not hesitate to kill it and use his flesh as food to survive.

As the boy approached the earth dragon, he poked the body of the earth dragon using the tip of his staff.

Swoss...

Bangs...

The earth dragon's tail swung and almost hit the boy. The boy was surprised, he immediately jumped back and was ready to fight. But that earth dragon movement was just a post-death movement so after a while, it became weaker.

The boy took out a piece of bloody meat and directly put it in his mouth.

Due to instinct, the boy used his claws to dig up the earth dragon's body . Although it was difficult, the skin and flesh of an extremely powerful earth dragon could be torn apart by its claws. The boy continued to tear and dig the body of the earth dragon until he finally saw the heart that had stopped beating. Unlike the creatures in general, the small blood vessels in the heart are golden because they drain gold blood.

Near the heart there is a second pouch that has a green lighted vessel. When the child tore the sac near the heart, it had a glowing green-colored crystal stone about the size of twice an adult's fist.

The boy knew nothing, but upon seeing the golden blood on the heart and the green crystal, instinct told him that both of those things were very useful to him. Since the child was only relying on instincts like a ferocious beast, he unhesitatingly opened his small mouth and directly bit the heart of the earth dragon.

A while later, the heart of the earth dragon had been eaten as and its color had turned pale as its blood had already been sucked into the stomach by the child. Finished eating and sucking blood on the heart of the earth dragon, the boy took the green crystal and carried it to the side. He sat down while watching the glowing green crystal with great curiosity.

As he watched the green crystal, suddenly the boy shouted and rolled around on the ground. The blood vessels under his skin were clearly visible and were emitting a golden light.

The green crystal he was still holding in his hand suddenly shone brighter and turned into a green aura that continued to enter his body. Due to the excruciating pain, the boy screamed like a wild beast with red eyes.

He continued to roll around on the ground like a madman. He felt that his entire body was torn from within. But what tormented him the most was the overwhelming heat that made him feel like he was being burned.

The boy had lost his sanity, he was standing and running wild around the bottom of the canyon. His hands and feet raised black scales and turned into dragon claws. The powerful and sharp claws pierced deep into the stone wall and helped the child to rise to the surface.

On the surface of the canyon was a vast barren land, but it could be seen that there was a dense forest in the distance. The little boy who had gone mad because of the pain could only roar at the lips of the canyon and run wildly towards the dense forest without caring about anything around him.

The low-level monsters and beasts that lived in the forest ran wild because of the frightening aura of the child. But of the many low-level monsters, some of them did not run fast enough and blocked the path of the boy.

The little boy who had lost his sanity saw that there was an animal blocking him, he instantly tore the beast apart with his claws, throwing the bloody corpse behind without caring about it.

He kept running and smashed whatever was blocking his way. Whether it was a large tree or a boulder, the child would instantly crush it while shouting furiously.

The boy ran for several kilometers, leaving a trail of destruction behind him. Not far in front of him, he saw a huge river. The river was about five kilometers wide with a rushing current. Due to the severe burning pain, the child thoughtlessly jumped straight into the stream.

Hissing...!

As soon as he jumped into the stream, the water he touched instantly evaporated into water vapor, proving just how high the child's body temperature was. Despite already being in the water, the heat he was experiencing did not subside at all, making him even crazier and continuing to shout in the water. He raises his head above the surface of the water to take a breath from time to time to prevent himself from suffocating to lack of oxygen.

Without realizing it, the flow of water that is quite swift it brings it up to a very high waterfall. The child had long since lost consciousness and was floating on the surface of the water like a dead log. His body fell from the waterfall and disappeared under the swiftness of the waterfall.

The Mansion of Rosefield...

(Knight training area.)

Filia:"Try again...!"

I trained Felmina by fighting with me so that she could better understand the «Mist Cloud Swordsmanship» that I taught yesterday.

His little body kept swinging along with the sword to attack me. His clothes were soaked in sweat that they stuck to his skin. Even though his breathing was heavy, he kept trying to swing his sword towards me with a serious face.

Honestly, I felt her expression at the moment was very cute with baby fat which made her face look rather round. While watching, I smiled with pleasure.

A horizontal sword swing was aimed towards my waist, but the movement was too slow which allowed me to deflect it easily.

Filia:"Too stiff. Your movements are too monotonous and easy to guess, this does not reflect the fog cloud sword technique at all."

I'm evaluating Felmina's movements. He was still completely stiff and unfamiliar with this sword technique. However, compared to just a moment ago, he had already made progress. In this way, I estimated that he might be able to master this sword technique at the latest within half a month.

Filia:"Ok stop, rest first."

Felmina:"Well... Thank you, brother."

He exhaled a long breath and immediately lay on the ground without caring about the impurities that might be stuck in his body.

Filia:"Listen Felmina!. This fog cloud sword technique was based on flexible clouds and fog and was always changing shape following the wind. So, this sword technique can change according to the current state of the fight. The way to make this sword technique flexible is to vary each movement and combine different steps at all times. That way, this sword technique would become very difficult to guess by the opponent."

«Mist Cloud Swordsmanship» consists of five movements, namely: Three attacks, one footwork, and one gestures. In other words, this sword technique was complete and encompassed various aspects, including aspects of attack, evasion, and defense.

Each movement of this sword technique is divided into three parts, ranging from part one to part three. So, Felmina can make a different composition in each condition, such as: The movement of the body part three combined with the first attack part one, two or three, for example, combined with foot movements or other attacks.

So, the results of this sword technique are very different and difficult to guess because each part of the movement is a separate movement that can be combined.

However, the requirement of using this sword technique is quite heavy, namely Felmina needs to master this sword technique to a state of proficient mastery.

Skill mastery divided into six, namely: Basic, beginner, master, proficient, full mastery, and unification. 0-20% mastery is called basic, 21-40% is called beginner and so on until 100% mastery is referred to as proficient. However, if one could master that technique to exceed the 100% threshold%, so skill mastery can be called as unification because they can easily use the skill and understand when the skill is used or not in a fight as if the skill is part of their own body.

Hearing my explanation, Felmina closed her eyes. His chest was still going up and down violently with heavy breathing, but his face looked extremely calm. I couldn't help but squat beside her and touch the baby's cheek.

Felmina:"Sir, I'm trying to understand the sword technique, please don't disturb."

Looking at her pouting face, I felt amused. I could only laugh and continue to pinch her soft cheeks until her cheeks were slightly flushed.

Filia:"Ok, you rest first, I'll see Ilma and Rurui."

I stood up and walked away leaving Felmina heading to another corner of the training arena. There, Ilma and Rurui were fighting each other. I pair them up because they are suitable for training together. Both Ilma and Rurui were Melee-type fighters, only, Ilma fought using two short knives, while Rurui used her bare hands. Therefore, I made him a pair of gauntlets suitable for him. Although Ilma was more suitable for sneak attacks and Rurui for direct combat, but due to Ilma's more experience, their fight looked like Ilma was teaching a child.

I noticed that Rurui's movements were pretty good for martial arts from, at least his mastery of martial techniques to the beginner stage which was quite good for a child his age, of course this is when compared to people in this world today. But when compared to the players, it was still far away.

I kept giving them instructions while practicing..Slowly, Ilma and Rurui's movements became more refined and organized. Not only did I see their fight, but the knights who were resting also saw the fight of Ilma and Rurui while sitting down drinking water and giving a comment.

Their comments will help Ilma and Rurui's training. After all, compared to the knights who had entered countless battlefields, Ilma and Rurui could be said to be extremely raw. With the help of the knights, Ilma and Rurui can better understand the weaknesses and ineffectiveness of their every move.

As the sun was about to sink completely, everyone returned to the military barracks while I brought Felmina and the others to clean up before dinner.
