Chapter 166

Elder Irina said, "To end with today's investigation, I want to see you fight with it. Andrea spar with her; let's see how much you have improved since you started training with my little niece!"

Andrea and Yasenia moved and positioned themselves 500m apart.

Yasenia took out her [Dragon heart] and Andrea her [Molten Red Gold Halberd]. Then, they looked at each other and smirked, chanting at the same time.

"[Celestial Dress]."

"[Chromosphere]."

A tight-fitting and long silver, golden and white dress covered Yasenia, multiplying all her powers manifold. The beauty of the dress with the current aura release of the dragoness made her appear as if a celestial being had just descended on the battlefield.

Tatyana and Elder Irina raised an eyebrow, impressed.

At the same time, a molten heavy armor covered Andrea completely, releasing infernal temperatures around her. With the double armor, Andrea was like a juggernaut made out of molten metal, holding an imposing halberd.

Yasenia smiled and said, "It looks imposing! You finally completed your [Chromosphere]~."

Andrea spoke through the molten helmet, giving her deep voice a menacing tone. "Your [Celestial dress] looks great in you, love. However, won't you trip with such a long trail?"

Yasenia laughed charmingly and said, "It is made of energy~."

Yasenia passed her leg through the dress as if it wasn't there. "As you can see, I can pass through it. However, don't be fooled, darling; this dress has some tricks besides multiplying my strength~."

Andrea laughed and said, "Let's discover those secrets! [Molten spear]!"

A ten-meter-long spear made of superheated metal appeared beside her, and a part of her [Chromosphere] detached and then inflated and changed forms, creating another spear with an orange color almost instantly.

Yasenia was so surprised that she exclaimed, "Your armor can duplicate your skills!? Wow~. Darling, you are so mighty~."

Andrea smirked and pointed at Yasenia. "Be careful, love."

The spears accelerated abruptly, shooting toward Yasenia with blurring speed. Yasenia smiled and grabbed the right side of her long skirt. Then she waved it before her, creating a white curtain made of the dress in front of her.

Andrea raised an eyebrow as the spears and dress collided in a big explosion. Molten metal covered an area of 50 meters, but there wasn't a single drop beside Yasenia. Moreover, Yasenia was unharmed, and the dress's skirt didn't even show burning marks. Andrea was surprised, "That is stronger than I thought."

Andrea smiled happily inside the helmet, "You finally have a defensive skill other than [Full Moon]. Congratulations, my love."

Yasenia smiled and leaned forward, then she put strength in her legs and burst toward Andrea like a cannonball, [Draconic Heart] in hand. "Darling, I'm a heavy hitter now~ be careful! [Sun charge]!"

Yasenia stomped midcharge again, pointing her sword toward Andrea. Golden flames consumed her sword as she became a golden meteor with terrible momentum.

Andrea wasn't left behind. As soon as Yasenia leaned forward, she was also preparing to charge toward Yasenia. Andrea used [Solar charge], gaining strength along the way and charging straight toward Yasenia.

Then, the two collided.

*BOOM!*

A heatwave consumed everything within 200 meters around them!

When they collided, Andrea's [Chromosphere] cracked everywhere as she grunted painfully. Her feet left the ground and shot backward like a bullet! While flying midair, Andrea smiled helplessly, 'Heave hitter indeed. Thankfully my double armor protected me from most of the damage.'

Yasenia laughed out loud, almost unharmed by their collision, and charged after Andrea, "I'm coming for you, darling! Hahaha!"

After hearing her, Andrea shook her head while chuckling. She landed expertly, and then she smirked and played dirty, "Love, I think you broke my arms…."

Yasenia continued charging forward with a worried face. When she reached beside Andrea and was about to ask if she wanted to stop, Yasenia saw Andrea's halberd flashing toward her from the side. Yasenia hastily lifted her dress and placed the sword behind it, holding it with one hand.

*CLANG!*

To Andrea's surprise, the halberd rebounded on the dress without even reaching the sword. 'Just how durable is this dress!? Even if I didn't use any skills, it only has a scratch after receiving a middle-level Heaven weapon!'

Then, when the dress dropped, she saw Yasenia pouting and making a rising strike with her sword. Andrea smiled wryly. "Stupid Andrea! [Sunrise]!"

*BANG!*

Andrea used her [Chromosphere] to tank the strike, but even with that, she felt like a carriage had just rammed her. The dragoness's absurd strength sent her flying again; this time, there truly were slight fractures in her bones. Andrea didn't know whether to laugh or cry, 'Isn't she too strong?'

With her new [Celestial Dress], the burst in cultivation to level three, and the [Sun enhancing pill], Yasenia's strength took a big leap again. Even if she wasn't as strong as Isla in her transformed state, she was closing on her with a scary speed.

Yasenia then shot forward again toward Andrea with the intent of beating her up for deceiving her. "I'm coming for you, darling~!" Andrea didn't know whether to be excited or scared after hearing that sentence, but after analyzing her situation, she decided to be scared.

For the two spectators, it was as if Yasenia was playing by throwing Andrea with each swing of her sword. However, Elder Irina was extremely satisfied because the way Andrea received the strikes mitigated most of the damage, allowing Andrea to resist Yasenia's strikes even when there was a big difference in strength.

Andrea managed to stop herself with extreme agility you wouldn't expect from such a juggernaut. Then, she used [Prominence], making molten pillars shoot upward, changing the surroundings, and she prepared to receive the charging dragoness.

Yasenia reached beside her with her sword pointing up. Then she lowered it. "[Sunset]!"

The air visibly compressed below the sword as it fell wrapped in flames.

Andrea met her giant sword with her halberd, using [Solar Rising Strike].

When the weapons collided with a loud clang, Andrea let the weapon absorb de momentum, allowing it to be blasted backward without losing her grip. The remaining impetus sent Andrea back, but she let her feet slide, transferring the rest of the attack to the ground and avoiding being blasted backward again.

Yasenia's eyes sparkled seeing such masterful control, and Elder Irina nodded with praise. However, Tatyana was frowning slightly, not happy with her daughter's performance.

Yasenia continued showering Andrea with her love- *Cough* attacks, with her attacks, making Andrea slide through the training area. But looking closely, Andrea was sliding less and less, gaining maneuvering room in their interchanges. 'Even if I can't win, I can drag the battle all I can.'

However, she suddenly saw Yasenia make a full swing with all her strength.

*BANG!*

The brute force of the sword almost made her feet leave the ground again. While she slid backward, she heard Yasenia say, "I'm going to use [Dusk] darling~ Prepare your defenses~."

Andrea opened her eyes wide and used three skills consecutively.

"[Metal enhancement]." Her armor and halberd became a lot sturdier, rising from middle-level to the high-level heaven rank.

"[Molten Shield]." A ten-meter-wide oval disc appeared before her. Following that, a part of her [Chromosphere] transformed into a second shield.

"[Molten Wall]." Before the two shields, a thirty-meter-tall wall appeared with five meters in thickness. Moreover, her [Chromosphere] also duplicated this wall.

Just as the last wall was created, Andrea felt Yasenia's aura expanding, followed by her roar, "[DUSK]!"

Yasenia swung her sword horizontally, creating a wide horizontal silvery-golden crescent that carried the scorching Sun combined with the chilling Moon energy. Andrea could feel the enormous attack approaching and hardened her jaw, preparing for the big hit.

The crescent arrived, and a loud explosion occurred! The first [Molten Wall] was blown apart as if it was mud and the crescent arrived at the second wall almost instantly. The second wall also didn't last a lot as it exploded when Yasenia's [Dusk] impacted it. Then, it arrived before the two [Molten shields].

The attack slammed onto the shield with overwhelming might, denting it badly. Andrea felt the power behind the attack through the connection with the shields, and it transmitted the feeling of a giant punching her. She smiled wryly, 'I'm going to fly again….'

And as Andrea expected, the crescent's strength exploded the shields only after a second and reached her.

*BANG!*

Even with the double-layered defense of [Chromosphere] and her armor, the attack cracked Andrea's ribs as her chest slightly caved in. She flew backward again, coughing blood while thinking that her dear dragoness didn't have mercy on her, so miserable!

Yasenia saw the blood and her eye twitched slightly. However, she pointed at Andrea with [Draconic Heart] and used [Moon Charge]. They were sparring, and holding back here will only damage her and her lovers in the future.

Andrea used the ground to backflip and kill momentum, then she cast [Solar Pillar] before her, hoping to stop Yasenia for a moment. Two magma pillars shot up before Yasenia.

Yasenia poured energy into her [Celestial Dress], and the long dress skirt moved as if it wasn't influenced by inertia and wrapped around her with the chilling Moon attribute surrounding her.

Yasenia collided with the pillars, creating a big explosion because of the sudden temperature difference. Andrea looked slightly worried since the explosion was very strong, not something the previous Yasenia would have been able to resist without heave injuries.

However, she realized that those worries were unfounded as the dragoness appeared from the explosion, unharmed, wrapped in the silver aura, and with almost the same speed as before, continuing her [Moon Charge].

Andrea chuckled and prepared to meet Yasenia's attacks again. Even if she wasn't her match, she wasn't someone that would cower before a stronger opponent!

She buffed herself even further, using [Sharpness increase], [Solar domain], and [Prominence] to full strength and recasting [Chromosphere].

Yasenia reached beside her.

Halberd and giant sword clashed with a loud metallic clang. Andrea slid backward and used [Solar Pillar] again, making the area around her an inferno. Yasenia used [Moonless Night], creating a chilling domain that lowered the temperature around her and ran toward Andrea again.

An exchange of attacks unfolded, filling the area with explosions and metallic sounds. Even if Yasenia was stronger than Andrea, thanks to her battle experience, Andrea was keeping Yasenia at bay, mitigating most of her damage.

Inside the inferno Andrea created, Yasenia was smiling adoringly as she delivered attack after attack, 'Even with our current strength disparity, she can keep up! My darling is the best~.'

Their battle continued until Andrea was out of energy. Yasenia wasn't able to give Andrea the finishing hit without using trump cards like [Noon], [Midnight], or [Starfall]! Moreover, Andrea managed to deliver some sneaky hits, slightly damaging Yasenia.

Elder Irina and Tatyana appeared beside the battered Andrea and heavily breathing Yasenia. Tatyana praised Andrea, "Good job, Andrea. You managed to keep Yasenia at bay for 20 minutes straight and damage her. You are improving at a very fast pace; you can be proud of yourself. However, do not slack. Maintaining the improving pace is what is difficult. Remember that you just started your journey to become an expert."

Elder Irina nodded, fully agreeing with her. "You've improved a lot these last months. I almost couldn't recognize you."

Andrea nodded and smiled, satisfied with her performance.

Elder Irina looked at Yasenia and said with a face filled with praise, "I would have thought you were deceiving me about your age if I didn't see you growing up! It was a good show of strength for a 20-year-old. Good job."

However, Tatyana reprimanded her, "were you pulling punches?"

Andrea looked at Yasenia with doubt, and Yasenia shook her head, "I wasn't. I just didn't use my strongest skills like [Noon], [Starfall], or [Midnight]."

Tatyana then became stern and used her aura on Yasenia, making her feel like the world was pressing on her. Tatyana scolded her. "Then that is even worse! Why the hell didn't you use your tail during the fight? Is that long tail of yours just to fuck!? I've been teaching you since you were little to use it and ingrained that into you, but you are beginning to use it less and less in battles. Yasenia, I'm honestly disappointed in your battle performance."

Yasenia began sweating and fumbled with her hands, her tail curling under her.
