Chapter 271: Four Faint Threads (1/2)

”He's a dragon?!”

Armel was surprised when Ezyn transformed into his true form. A towering blue dragon whose wings span over the whole training field they were in appeared before him.

His previous strategy to use his extraordinary strength to put Ezyn at a disadvantage was now rendered useless when he couldn't penetrate Ezyn's thick hide.

”Look out!”

One of the Elemental siblings, Mara, shouted to Armel who's about to be stomped by Ezyn's dragon foot.

Heeding her warning, Armel cast an Elemental Spell which instantly propelled him backwards dodging Ezyn's foot.

However, his tail came next as it lashed out towards him. Armal swung his huge blade along with activating a defensive Elemental Spell with lower nodes to somehow reduce the attack he would receive.

When Ezyn's tail hit Armel's defensive Spell, it broke in an instant before it continued to hit his currently airborne body.

Helpless in that situation, Armel was flung back to the ground and skid for a few meters before tumbling a few times to stabilize his feet outside the designated training area.

”Armel is out of the Training Area. Ezyn wins!”

Elmer, as the referee, shouted which pulled back those other Elites who became silent after that display of strength.

Despite Ezyn's huge form, he could control it better than when he transformed into his human form. And due to that, those Elites of Humans, Elementals, and Luxians let out a sigh of admiration to his flexibility and his visage.

Since there were newcomers and they're someone from another world, the Elites wanted to try them out. And of course, Ezyn also liked the idea despite his wife telling him to calm down.

That guy didn't have a lot of competition in the World of Spirits after all. The closest he could get was Yumiko who already left him behind. There's also the Dark Elves but they're quick to retreat whenever they see him.

Here in this world, there's a lot who's at the same level as him.

”We are living in a small world, huh? Back there, he's supposedly the strongest. But here, he's just one of the many and not even considered as someone at the top.”

Yse muttered as she sipped her tea which Fleur brewed while looking up to her husband growling like a dragon he is.

For now, they're currently treated as our guests but starting tomorrow, they'll both undergo the same rigorous training I am putting on the Elites.

Throughout the week and through the skirmishes some of them fought in, they started showing the fruits of their training. The old man Elmer, who's the closest to the threshold, was already about to merge his fifth Secondary Core.

We estimated before that it would take him a month but after about 2 weeks, he's already close to touching the threshold.

”That's normal. Because he didn't have that much competition in your world, his growth was most likely stunted. Also, there's no clear guidance on how to reach higher. The Spiritas were even looking for the Spirit Ocean. If not for that, you all would have long become Transcendents.”

”Heh. I remember you're someone who didn't know a lot back then. How times have changed.”

Yse smirked.

It's true though, I did grow from someone at the very bottom to now where I am even stronger than most of the Heroes.

Before, I don't know a lot but through continuous world-hopping, I started to understand the intricacies of each world.

”Because Daisuke is amazing, Yse.”

Yumiko interjected before snuggling to my side again.

”I know. But you see, it's not even that long but there are three more women connected to him. Also, there are four faint threads that haven't solidified yet. His destiny will be converging with more women again.”

Yse threw a meaningful glance around me where the four girls were either standing or listening in our conversation.

Haa… This dragon woman. I knew she would notice something, But for her to blurt it out like this…

”Four faint threads? Is it those four, darling?”

Sofiel don't put more oil into the fire, alright?

”I believe so. He also mentioned to me that he left that world without deciding what to do. Have you decided now, Daisuke?”

Ugh… Even you, Fleur? I put the decision at the back of my mind, you know?

”Sister Nysia called them Companion Candidates. If they all confessed, I'm sure Daisuke will accept them.”

”Or Daisuke will tell them first how he's interested in them.

To fully bury the nail, Yumiko and Jayna also chipped in.

Haa… I couldn't deny all that but yeah, I'll decide upon meeting them again. Though I could interact with them whenever I send a Support Incarnation there, a day was not enough to meet them all. Just like the last time, I only saw Elise and Lunaria. Leianne was helping her grandfather to stabilize the Empire while Dannae was at the Scorched Forest being trained along with the other Rank S Pilots.
