"You're Mira Stoneheart. Daughter of Chief Warrior Garrick Stoneheart of the Stoneheart Clan.! Warrior Princess! The girl who punched a training instructor in the face because he said women couldn't be front-line fighters!"

A few people in the crowd turned to look at him.

"You're the same person who beat BRICK in a sparring match! BRICK! The guy who just won his fight! And you're going to lie there and let someone talk trash about your sister,your DEAD sister and not do anything about it?!"

    Old Man Kael didn't turn around fully.He didn't need to.He just tilted his head slightly to the side,the way a person does when they've already assessed a situation and found it beneath their concern and spoke over his shoulder in that dry, unhurried voice of his. The same voice he used when he was telling someone their tea had gone cold."Close your mouth, Emperor."The Emperor Dragon realized, distantly, that Asta's mouth was hanging open.He closed it.Kael finally turned. His brown robes settled around him like dust after a long fall. His face was as unreadable as old stone,no urgency, no drama, no sense that he had just casually intercepted enough firepower to level a small mountain with an open palm. He looked, if anything, mildly put out. Like a man who had walked into a room and found someone had rearranged his furniture.His eyes, pale, deep set, ancient in a way that had nothing to do with age, moved from the Emperor Dragon to the scorched ring floor, to the cracked and sm

    This boy who understood,truly, deeply understood,what strength was really for.A smile spread across Asta's face, the Emperor Dragon's control, but Asta's emotion.‘’’You…’’’The Emperor Dragon's mental voice was thick with feeling.‘’’You are a really tough one, boy.’’’‘’So are you, old dragon.’’Asta's mental voice had softened, warm despite the terror of what they were about to do.‘’Now let's do this. Together.’’‘’Together.’’The Emperor Dragon's hands moved.Asta's hands,but moving with centuries of dragon precision combined with human determination.The two iron swords came up, crossing in front of his chest.Then, with deliberate care, he adjusted the angle.Blade to blade. Edge to edge. Forming a perfect V-shape with the handles at the top, the tips pointing down and forward.A wedge.He gripped both handles,one in each hand,his fingers wrapping around the worn leather, knuckles already white from the pressure.His arms were shaking.Not from fear. From the effort of holding

    ‘’’”VERDANT ANNIHILATION…”’’Ragnar's voice rose to a roar that shook the very foundations of the arena."’’...ROAR!!!"’’And the fire came.Not a stream nor a blast, but a wall.A solid, towering wall of green flame that erupted from Ragnar's mouth and expanded outward like the end of the world made manifest.The column was massive,twenty feet wide at its source and growing wider with every fraction of a second, spreading like a tidal wave of pure destruction.The roar of it was deafening. Not just sound,it was a physical force that pressed against eardrums and made skulls vibrate. Like standing inside a jet engine. Like being at the center of a tornado made of fire.The heat hit first.Before the flame even reached halfway across the ring, the temperature spiked so dramatically that people in the observation deck gasped and stepped back.The air between Ragnar and the Emperor Dragon didn't warm,it ‘’ignited’’. Oxygen molecules combusting spontaneously, turning the space into a shimme

    He could feel the vessel straining under the power he was channeling. Could feel Kaito's consciousness buried deep in the back of his mind, locked away but still aware, still watching.‘’Sorry, boy.’’ Ragnar thought with something that might have been regret. ‘’I know this hurts. I know you didn't ask for this. But I NEED this. I NEED to prove myself.’’’‘’’Just hold on a little longer. This will be over soon.’’’He broke the blade lock with a sudden twist, spinning away, his glaive coming around in a wide slash that forced the Emperor Dragon to duck.The Emperor Dragon went low, both swords sweeping out in horizontal cuts.Ragnar jumped, avoiding the blades, already bringing his glaive down in an overhead strike.The Emperor Dragon rolled forward, under the strike, coming up behind Ragnar.But Ragnar had anticipated it,spun in mid-air, landing to face the Emperor Dragon, already attacking.They moved faster now.So much faster.The exchanges that had seemed impossibly quick before

    The pillar of green flame around Ragnar burned higher.Ten feet. Twenty. Thirty.It twisted like a tornado, spiraling around him, the heat so intense that the stone floor beneath his feet was starting to melt, turning from solid rock into glowing liquid that bubbled and hissed.The wind in the arena changed direction,all of it being pulled toward Ragnar, feeding the flames, making them burn brighter and hotter with each passing second.In the observation deck, Jabber's entire body started trembling again.Not from the cold. From the sheer oppressive WEIGHT of the power radiating from the ring.It felt like gravity had increased. Like the air itself had gotten heavier.‘’"Jabber."’’Loki's voice in his mind was tight with fear.‘’"He's not holding back anymore. That's his TRUE power. That's what he's actually capable of."’’‘’We need to leave. We need to…’’‘’"It's too late. If we run now, if we move, he'll notice. And if he notices us while he's like THIS..."’’’Loki didn't finish the

    The Emperor Dragon blocked all three, but the third impact actually drove him back a step.His back foot slid on the cracked stone.Ragnar saw it."Getting TIRED, little brother?"His grin was manic now, wild."We're just GETTING STARTED!"He spun the glaive in a full circle, building momentum, then brought it down in a devastating overhead strike.The Emperor Dragon crossed both swords above his head, catching the glaive blade between them.The impact drove him to one knee.The ground beneath him didn't crack,it shattered, chunks of stone flying outward as a crater formed under the force of the blow.Ragnar pressed down, adding his weight to the strike, trying to drive the Emperor Dragon to the ground completely.The Emperor Dragon's arms were shaking,Asta's muscles screaming in protest, pushed far beyond their limits.‘’Can't... hold…’’‘’’You can. You MUST.’’’‘’’But…’’‘’’HOLD!’’’The Emperor Dragon gritted his teeth,felt something in his jaw pop from the pressure and PUSHED.Not
