Before Calter can speak again, a fiery aura already spreads around. The aura came from none other than Gary Sternix that awakened a Fire Dragon Bloodline
Gary emitted faint draconic might but his aura paled too much in comparison to Calter
At normal times, the Sternix Patriarch would already give out punishments to Calter after not fulfilling the task given to him
However, Calter's standing in the Sternix Clan grew after he awakened his special Bloodline
Compared to his other clansmen, his Bloodline is far superior to them. From the ancient records that were originally only retained by the Sternix Clan that was part of their heritage, Calter awakened as a Golden Dragon
The Golden Dragon is also called Emperor Dragons! They are born to be the rulers of the Dragon Race!
Golden Dragons have stronger power than their peers. Although Golden Dragons are not considered elemental Dragon like Gary's Fire Dragon, the Bloodline still provided an overall boost in power
Calter's ability to manipulate gravity and create other destructive attacks are not included in the records of different Dragons Bloodlines that the Sternix Clan has but one fact still remained
As a Golden Dragon, Calter's future power would reach the peak if he has enough talent
As Calter has such a special and powerful Bloodline, the position of Heir should not be removed from him anymore but Golden Dragons are different from the others
Despite the much greater strength that this Bloodline provided, refining the Bloodline is also much harder compared to other Dragon Bloodlines
If Calter was not able to nourish his Bloodline properly, there would be a huge chance that he will be unable to advance further after reaching a certain level
As of now, Calter's power was at the very top of his Clan. But if he failed, no matter how special his Bloodline is, his strength would eventually stagnate
This is a double-edged sword that doesn't give Calter his desired result. Thus, he still needs to work hard if not, even someone like Gary might surpass him
The vicious fiery aura causes the surrounding temperature to rise. If normal people entered its range, they might feel like they were breathing fire
Gary was so angered that he tried using his draconic might to force Kence into submission
His dominating pheromones no, the complete version of pheromones which was spiritual pressure bore down on Kence's body
However, that is a foolish action. Just a mere fire dragon trying to pressure an Ice Phoenix, a creature that stands beside Golden Dragons. How laughable this was to people that have complete knowledge of this world?
If Kence backed down with this measly pressure, he wouldn't be Kence anymore
Another terrifying spiritual pressure descends down. This pressure has an icy hell feels on it that chilled everyone down to their bones
The few Phoenix Marks that Kence has in his spiritual world shone with an icy blue light making his spiritual pressure far stronger than normal
Even Gary shivered at this pressure. The temperature he forced to rise instantly plummeted down. He can't help but instinctively fear Kence as if this man is a higher level being than him
However, yet another spiritual pressure clashed with Kence. This took away the pressure from Gary
The spiritual power of a Dragon Emperor clashed with Kence and the two are in a stalemate
"Calm down you two" Calter said darkly. Gary just has to anger Kence and Kence just has to let his temper explode. This is making the situation turn into a complete mess
As much as Calter doesn't want to interfere, he also can't due to the pressure of his family
That makes Kence's gaze on him grew colder but Calter can only move his head to the side in shame
The overwhelming spiritual pressures that were clashing makes the faces of the people around turn pale
In dissatisfaction, Aisha covered Rhash with her own spiritual power to stop him from getting affected
Although Aisha's power paled in comparison to the legendary beings, since she was not the target of the pressure, she managed to help Rhash that was already shaking in fear
"Stop it! Calter, Gary this is still my Croel Family's territory. Although we wish to remain neutral, Kence is still our guess. We can't just let you gang up against him like this"
The Sternix Clan might be powerful but it's not like Aisha's Clan is a weak lamb in front of them
Their individual power might be weaker but the Croel Clan is still a Family of strong Demons. They also have a lot more members that awakened their Bloodline
Although they won't deliberately antagonize the Sternix Clan, this is still their territory. To act presumptuously here is very rude
Compared to Kence's disappointment towards Calter, he instead felt grateful to Aisha
But, Kence is still an outsider. He can't implicate the Croel Family too much in his private matters
"Sister, thank you but I got this" Kence said with a smile before giving the two Dragons a sharp look
"Gary Sternix since you are too arrogant let me teach you a lesson. The world has changed greatly already. I challenge you in a duel, if you are brave enough fight me! Let me see the basis of your arrogance"
The era of dominating power is already starting. Since Kence can't compete with the Sternix Family in terms of finance and influence then he will use his fist
"Kence..." Calter tried to stop them but Kence's gaze on him just became more intense
"What? Isn't this a good thing? You don't have to do anything to make sure that your great family won't be displeased. Isn't their opinion more important than gold to you?"
"If Gary wins then wouldn't the humiliation your family got from be wash away? Or could it be the powerful and arrogant Sternix Family doesn't even have anyone that can compete with me?"
Since they are arrogant then they must have the ability to back it up!
As expected, Gary's pride won't allow this humiliation. Despite the crushing defeat he had earlier, he still went to agree instantly
"Don't interfere! I will make sure to burn this little lover of yours, cousin!" Gary said with malice causing Calter's eyes to flash a dangerous light
Although Calter believes that Gary doesn't have the ability to make his words a reality, it still doesn't sit well for him that Gary said such a thing to his man
However, Calter's hands were completely tied
"Heh... let's see if you can really do that. Everyone, please give us space!"
The people around instantly moves away. Calter still wants to say something but Kence's looks scream with the words "I will not listen" and he can only move away just like the others
Suddenly, Kence felt a hand tugging the corner of his clothes and when he looked behind him, he saw Rhash looking at him worriedly
"Kence, don't get injured okay?" Although Rhash knows that Kence is powerful, he is still worried for him
Some of Kence's aggressiveness melted at this and he gave Rhash a smile. "It's okay, I won't get injured in this fight" Kence reassured
After people like Aisha and Rhash acted in this way, Calter's actions seem much trashier in Kence's eyes
These two are just his friends while Calter is the ex that claimed to love him deeply. The level of treatment was too different
If Kence has people like these two, he really doesn't need a lover. He doesn't need to be in a relationship with Calter again
A person doesn't always need a lover to be happy. That is something that the current situation is proving
Aisha and Rhash's actions make Kence happy compared to the actions of the man that 'deeply loves him'
After a few moments, only Kence and Gary were standing on the opposite side of the battlegrounds
The air around them was completely intense as their Phoenix and Dragon power exploded
Gary conjured draconic flames. The power of his crimson flames was levels higher compared to normal fire magic. It has the power to burn various things easily
The flames covered the entirety of Gary's fists and the size even grew bigger to the point that it was already bigger than a basketball
On Kence's side, his silver eyes and hair instantly turned icy blue in color. His Phoenix Marks did their job and they provided him with power
To make this fight even more satisfying, Kence also covered his fists with frosty energy
Isn't it more exciting if he punches Gary to the brink of death instead of using swords or long-range attacks?
The two didn't hold back anymore. Their bodies turned into blue and fire arrows that met each other head-on
Gary has boundless arrogance but sadly, his strength wasn't enough to back it up
If he fought with other people, Gary would easily win. However, if Kence is the enemy then things are different
As soon as their fists clashed, Gary can already feel a strong impact in his arms. His physique was upgraded after he awakened his bloodline yet he was still shaken
That means that Kence's physical power was far higher than him!
But aside from that, despite the fiery fire in Gary's fists, he can still feel coldness spreading from the area he was making contact with Kence
His draconic fire was actually being suppressed this much. Gary can't believe this
