In another part of Ne Okozmo, Millonia and ia were facing each other. They had remained that way ever sincending, which would make it roughly ten minutes. While ia was taking pleasure in irritating Millonia, Millonia was seething inside. Despite knowing the odds were against her, she was devising a n to take ia down in one go.


    The n she had in mind wasn''t foolproof. How could it be? She only had ten minutes toe up with it. Regardless, she unhesitatingly executed it. Pulling her sword out of her Spatial Storage, she immediately used Magic to envelop it with fire.


    ia saw Millonia''s resolve to kill, so she responded in kind. With a grin that didn''t fit her face, she wed at Millonia.


    nk!


    A fire sparked as ia''s w met Millonia''s sword. Millonia put her body weight forward, allowing her to sh her sword further. The air split and ia was pushed back. Millonia didn''t waste any time as she immediately exploited the gap she spotted. Easily breaking through ia''s guard, she muttered, "[Adentri Formis]."


    A ring of fire appeared around her wrist before quickly attaching itself to ia''s stomach. Millonia thrust her free hand forward and pushed ia away as the Spell she cast took effect. The ring of fire turned into a beam. It pierced through ia''s stomach, making the Dragon widen her eyes. The surrounding got brighter and the explosion sound followed soon.


    However, Millonia was not yet satisfied. She could see that her Spell didn''t do much damage to ia. The Spell was supposed to make a hole in ia''s abdomen that would keep burning as long she was alive which made regeneration impossible. That didn''t happen. Despite passing through her, the fire beam only left behind a scorching mark on her abdomen.


    Because of that, Millonia cast another Spell: [more Gehenna]. This was what Millonia used to burn Land in theirst spar. Although Land easily survived it, he admitted that it gave him quite a burn. It was already praise since Land could hardly feel pain. Given how much stronger she had be, Millonia was sure it would do numbers to ia.


    As ia stopped skidding, the Spell took effect. A Magic Circle appeared on the ground. It spanned over three hundred feet. ia was once again surprised by how quickly Millonia acted. The Spells that Millonia had cast were High-Grade Spells that many could only dream to learn. It was quite mind-boggling that she could cast them so easily.


    Surprising Millonia, instead of preparing to defend herself, ia stood straight, looking unfazed. A small smile grazed her face as she looked at Millonia. Millonia couldn''t figure out what her smile meant but she was sure it was by no means positive. She gritted her teeth in discontentment and watched as fire engulfed the area covered by the Magic Circle.


    Ree!


    A soul-shaking scream could be heard from the direction of the fire. Millonia knew more than anyone else it didn''te from ia. The scream of the hell dwellers was supposed to apany ia''s scream. s, their scream was the only scream Millonia could hear. It was loud yet quiet at the same time.


    Seconds passed with Millonia silently looking at the raging fire. Her ears tuned out the scream of the hell dwellers. The moment she was prepared for came not long after. ia stepped out of the fire with nothing covering her body. Her sensual figure was free for the world to drool over. Millonia could spot some burn marks, they were rapidly healing.


    By the time ia was right in front of Millonia, all of her injuries had been healed. Fire enveloped her body for a moment, leaving her clothed when it disappeared. Millonia didn''t say anything, nor did she react much. As someone whose speciality was Fire Magic, going against a Dragon who was naturally adept at it was a challenge indeed.


    "You know what will happen next, don''t you?"


    Millonia was quick to take action. Before ia lifted her fingers, her sword found its way to ia''s neck. s, it didn''t connect. ia managed to stop it when it was an inch away from her neck. Swiftly, she then punched Millonia, knocking her unconscious.


    "Well, that wasn''t a bad start. She might be capable to contend against me sooner than I expected." ia grinned as she looked at Millonia. "Of course, a naughty student should be punished."


    Taking hold of Millonia''s foot, she dragged her by the foot. Millonia''s battle-ridden days began this way.


    …


    "Why is everyone so eager to have sex here?" Land wondered out loud, responding to the question Albion had asked him.


    "It is in our nature to be attracted to someone who possesses good gics. Men are attracted to beautiful women and women are attracted to strong men. It''s all in the hope to procure the best offspring. Isn''t that simple?" Albion answered nonchntly.


    "Excuse me, you can''t have him. This man is taken," Aurelia chimed in. She looked slightly offended.


    "And who might have taken him? You? You haven''t even left a mark on him. He is still free for anyone to take."


    "Hah! You will regret ever saying that. You don''t know how fearsome Valeria is."


    Albion shot Aurelia a surprised look. "I thought you were going to justify he would be yours. I didn''t know someone as bright as you could be this selfless."


    Aurelia looked at Albion in confusion. She genuinely didn''t understand what Albion was on about. It made Albion turn to Quetzalcoatl. He smiled wryly and Albion immediately understood the situation. She wouldn''t be only teaching Land but also Aurelia.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The situation made Albion conflicted. She wanted to help Aurelia but they coveted the same man. The desire to help the youngster and her desire to hog the good thing for herself shed with each other. In the end, she sighed and pushed aside her selfishness. She wouldn''t be the matchmaker but she would help Aurelia see what she had been ignoring.


    "Well, I think you can go back now, Quetzalcoatl. I will guide these two well."


    "Thank you." Nodding his head gratefully at Albion, Quetzalcoatl turned to Aurelia. "You are free to leave anytime, unlike Land. Please, do visit me sometimes."


    "Yeah, I will."


    Aurelia didn''t sound sincere with her answer but it was already enough for Quetzalcoatl. He was already more than d that his granddaughter acknowledged him. Saying his farewell, Quetzalcoatl left the ce with [Teleportation]. The ce turned silent until Albion broke it by inviting Land and Aurelia into her home.


    "Come on. Why don''t we get to know each other first before starting the training?"


    "Uh…why is it also necessary for me to train? What do you want to teach me anyway?" Aurelia questioned, genuinely puzzled.


    "The current you will only be a burden no matter where you go. We will destroy that Seal of yours through training."


    "Oh, right…" Aurelia muttered in realization. "Is that even possible, though?" she questioned right after.


    Albion didn''t say anything and merely guided them to the mountain. Expecting tond at the peak of the mountain, Aurelia and Land were quite surprised when Albion raised her hand, causing the mountain to split. She flew through the gap and then disappeared without a trace. The other two immediately followed and soon found themselves in another world.


    The first thing that Land took note of was the lost connection between him and Ne Okozmo. This meant that they were in Albion''s Subdimension. It was nothing extraordinary. It wasn''t as great andplex as Ne Okozmo, yet Land was still astonished.


    ''Quetzalcoatl must respect Albion quite highly for him to allow her to build another world inside his world. Dragons are very sensitive regarding territory.''


    Land took his time looking around the ce. Compared to the snowy region outside, this ce was more "lively." He could see frozenkes and frozen waterfalls in this ce, unlike the nd snowy region which was no more than and covered in snow. There were also trees in this ce. None of them possessed the traits that normal trees possessed since they were entirely made out of ice, but they lived as trees did.


    Land stopped looking around when they arrived at a majestic castle made entirely out of ice crystals. They could see their reflection in the ice but couldn''t see what was inside.


    Creak.


    The gate to the castle was opened by an Ice Golem. It was just as tall as Land was but the pressure it possessed would even make apetent Knight wet himself. It was interesting, yet Land wasn''t very interested in it. He found dwelling in his thought more interesting.


    ''Albion has a higher taste in architecture. Quetzalcoatl prefers conformity and modesty whereas she prefers grandeur and pretentiousness. Both have great taste but I prefer Albion''s. Why would you create a world if you want to live humbly?''


    "Do you like it?"


    "I do. It''s quite traditional but still pleasing to the eyes."


    "I am an old-fashioned woman. The more orthodox it is, the more appealing it is to me."


    When they stopped walking, they were in an empty hall. The hall reminded Land of an ice rink. Its size was over ten times a football''s field. It was unnecessarily big which made Land wonder why they were brought there. As he was about to turn around, he was startled by the sudden hostile aura Albion was giving off.


    His eyes widened and he quickly summoned Rexorem. Unfortunately, Albion''s hand was faster. In the blink of an eye, her hand already pierced through his chest. Ice quickly spread throughout his body, freezing him instantly. On the side, Aurelia dumbfoundedly stared at Albion for what had transpired.


    "I will take him for myself. You should me yourself for being too cowardly." Albion stared back at Aurelia and grinned sinisterly as she pulled her hand out of Land''s chest. "Stay here and wail uselessly."


    With the frozen Land in her hand, she left the hall and sealed Aurelia inside.
