The Dragon Lord System
S3 - 89

...***VOel POV*** ...

I was standing near my father, my eyes not separated from the humanoid crystal creature that almost slashed my neck.

My father, with quick reflexes, blocked his attack towards my neck and managed to fend it off.

I feel relieved, lucky that my father is here to protect me.

However, I saw my father's courage as he stood firm before the crystal creature.

His gaze was filled with decisiveness and courage, something I had never seen before.

I wanted to protect her, but father firmly told me to go away. I felt reluctant, afraid of getting angry again, but I finally obeyed him.

Reluctantly, I expanded my wings and flew away from the imminent battle.

My heart was pounding with excitement mixed with fear. I know this is my first chance to see Dad fight.

I can't help but be curious. All the way away, I kept looking at them, trying to see what was happening.

From afar, I could still see my father standing solidly in the middle of this crystal-filled room, and a heavy sound echoed throughout the void.

I couldn't resist the burning passion in me, wanting to see him fight head-on.

Within this distance, I could clearly hear the lowly crystal creature calling my father a condescending, "Lizard."

My heart burst out in deep anger upon hearing this ridicule.

How dare that lowly creature call my father "Kadal" when in fact the father is a great god.

"Ah, shit!" my grumbling in my heart.

I was eager to launch an arrow from my bow to attack the creature from a distance.

But I decided to hold back, afraid that my father would scold me.

However, as the father and the crystal creature seemed to speak for a moment before the fight began, I heard words that touched my heart.

The crystal creature claimed me to be a subordinate of father, a condescending word.

I wanted to release my arrow, but I held it down because I hoped you wouldn't like it.

Then the father replied, his voice firm and clear, that I was his "son". As the words came out of my mouth, tears flowed in my eyes.

Father not only saw me as a subordinate, but as his own son, and that was the greatest reward I could give.

I can only stand here, looking with great respect and love at my father.

While wiping away the tears still running down my cheeks, I continued to watch from a distance as the crystal creature suddenly retreated quickly and instantly launched an attack against my father.

But what happened so quickly, I couldn't even catch her movements with the naked eye.

Suddenly a loud ting sound was heard. I immediately focused my gaze, and I watched in awe that my father had managed to block the attack by fending it off using an arm protected by the hard scales of his dragon.

Dad's reflexes were so fast, almost invisible to my eyes.

I can't avoid feeling surprised at your ability. If I were in his position, maybe the result would be different.

Now I understand why you ordered me to stay away.

It seemed that the crystal creature was not an opponent that could be underestimated.

I'm weak...

While feeling weak and crying in helplessness, I suddenly slapped myself as a form of spirit.

"Don't crybaby, Vael! You must be strong and learn like a father!" I said to myself as I felt a slap on my cheek.

While washing my tears, I refocused on my father's fight. His eyes full of determination and determination opened up to me.

I saw how his big hand was as if it was grasping a crystal monster from a distance.

My eyes did not stop paying attention when suddenly the crystal monster was firmly drawn towards his grasp, as if suffocating.

Shortly after, father took out a thick green acidic liquid from his hand.

The monster shattered quickly, leaving the crystal debris that broke apart.

The room again glowed brightly, and from the previous destruction, the crystal creature recovered quickly, regenerating itself into perfect form once again.

The mockery and insults of the creature echoed throughout the room, like the wind trying to disturb the calmness.

I was surprised to see my father's reaction. Emotionlessly, he responded to the insult with a relaxed attitude and as if ignoring it. To him, perhaps the creature's ridicule was just like a gust of wind that he was not worthy of caring about.

I feel there is a deeper message behind my father's actions.

In silence and focus, I watched my father fight with complete calmness.

While contemplating, I realized that there were many things I could learn from my father.

In addition to physical skills, he also taught me about wisdom and calmness in dealing with situations.

I swore in my heart to learn and grow, so that one day I could stand beside my father with pride.

The crystal creature unleashed its attack with a quick flash, the crystal bullet moved like lightning that struck my flying father.

However, when the attack hit his body, the result was shocking. The entire crystal bullet swiftly pierced through his body, as if he was a shadow invisible to the attack.

The crystal creature looked even more frustrated as its reinforced attacks were powerless regarding my father.

He tried again with a stronger crystal, but the result remained the same— the attack was futile and my father was not injured in the slightest.

I couldn't help but marvel at me as I watched my father dodge all the attacks so elegantly.

It was like seeing a dancer who dodged gracefully from the violent attacks.

I couldn't help but utter my words of admiration, "Amazing!"

The crystal creature grew increasingly frustrated as his efforts continued to fail.

My father's heavy voice sounded like a booing echo throughout the room, aggravating their frustration.

My father calmly answered their ridicule with heart-piercing words, "Is that your strongest attack? I don't even feel anything. You're really weak."

His lowered voice made me almost unable to help but laugh.

The crystal creature seemed increasingly annoyed by my father's sharp mockery. With a swift and imposing movement, the entire crystal in the room began to gather at him.

Miraculously, he turned into a giant that was much bigger and tough than before. His hand formed a sharp crystal sword that emitted a threat.

I felt my hair goosebumps and cold sweat flowing as extremely powerful magical energy gathered on the crystal creature.

But what surprised me more was my father's reaction.

He remained relaxed, even looking bored waiting for the transformation and attack of the creature.

The crystal creature that was already exasperated by father's ridicule, without hesitation, swung its hand that turned into a huge crystal sword towards my father.

However, my father still remained calm and just yawned tired of facing the threat.

The gigantic crystal sword was almost invisible to the naked eye, moving so fast. There was a great explosion all around him when the sword struck my father.

A shockwave shook the room, sending me bouncing away.

Duars!

The sound of explosions and loud clashing sounded like a terrifying thump of thunder.

My father's still upright and unshakable body implied his incredible strength.

I tried so hard to get up from the shock wave bounce. After the crystal dust subsided, the scene I received was so terrifying.

My father managed to resist the attack, but his right arm was cut off, and red blood flowed profusely.

This heart was broken, seeing the father who was seriously injured.

I wanted to help her, but I knew I wasn't strong enough. Being a burden to you is not an option.

I could only stand still from a distance, look at it with mixed feelings, and hold my hand so tightly that blood came out because I unconsciously bit my lips too hard.
