Chapter 131: Mana Suppression
Twenty-seven days passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, I also received additional training from Rossweisse to reduce the abundant mana power that was now within my body. Since then, I had endlessly felt my body being under heavy pressure from all my blood vessels as well as the mana power within my body.
I was the only one who had received additional training from Rossweisse to suppress my mana power, which had currently reached more than 300,000 MP. But still, my current mana power had been completely suppressed to 150,000 MP.
150,000 MP was no different from the mana power of an expert at the Dragon King stage. For now, I had experienced a decline in both my physical strength and my internal strength.
Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do right now apart from showing the tired expression that was relentlessly creeping across my face. My gaze fell upon the palms of my hands, which were now wearing ten black rings. The ten black rings were a curse that could reduce a person’s mana power by up to 50%.
I now had strength equivalent to that of an ordinary Dragon King stage dragon. Even if I fought Tifa and Tina in a one-against-two battle, I would lose to the two girls without being able to put up any resistance.
A large part of me was shocked by the incredible growth in strength that Liz had managed to achieve. After nearly a month of training under Rossweisse’s guidance, she had finally reached the peak of the 4th-star beast stage.
The extraordinary development Liz had shown even surprised Elize, who usually didn’t care about everything that happened around her. After all, this was the first time Elize had witnessed her personal mount gain such a massive increase in strength after beginning her training.
Moreover, this was also the first time Elize had witnessed Liz decide to train after more than three decades of being together. With autumn arriving this month, the warm temperatures, which were much different from the hot temperatures of the previous months, gave Liz a feeling of enthusiasm.
For an eagle like Liz, being in the autumn season was enjoyable and could increase her fighting spirit during training. The same was true for Elize and the two elf girls, who felt the same emotions that Liz was experiencing at this moment.
There was nothing strange about the four women feeling an extraordinary sense of happiness during the warm autumn season. But unfortunately, I didn’t feel anything other than the despair that was relentlessly sweeping through my heart. After all, enduring such an unreasonably heavy burden in terms of both mana power and physical strength was the most inhumane thing I had ever experienced in my life.
Not only had Rossweisse given me an overwhelming burden during my training, but she had even personally placed curses on me to suppress the amount of mana power I possessed. Deep in my heart, I didn’t understand why Rossweisse had decided to give such inhumane training to a weak human like me.
"Master, can I take off these ten rings right now? I can’t endure them any longer..."
Rossweisse’s gaze immediately turned into one filled with terrifying killing intent. At the same time, both of her hands tightly gripped my shoulders without letting go.
Even now, I still didn’t understand why Rossweisse had been showing such unhappiness towards a man like me throughout the past month. In the end, I was still Rossweisse’s disciple, whom she had considered her most valuable disciple.
But I didn’t care at all about Rossweisse’s opinion of me as her disciple. Even if I offended Rossweisse’s feelings at some point during this month, I wouldn’t let her act however she pleased simply because of the personal feelings she had towards me.
"Hm... Are you still complaining about the training your master has given you? Just accept every special training I have given you. If you don’t want to continue this training, you can give your opinion right now."
The sound of grinding teeth could be heard nonstop from inside my mouth. In my entire life, I had never once felt so angry towards a woman I considered to be the most honourable woman.
Rossweisse was Elize’s direct master, yet she had absolutely no qualms about bullying her own disciple’s lover through such inhumane methods. Unable to hold back the anger that had been building up in my heart for a long time, I finally decided to voice all of my opinions regarding every piece of training Rossweisse had put me through over the past month.
"I have so many complaints. You were too cruel to me but not to your other disciples. I want to challenge you, Master! Here and today, I want to challenge you for the second time!"
A challenge from a disciple was the rarest thing Rossweisse had received since she first accepted someone as her disciple. The first disciple who had dared to challenge Rossweisse was Elize, but now her disciple’s lover had also dared to challenge her. But there was no reason for Rossweisse to refuse the challenge that her disciple’s lover had given her.
"Good, very good. Lucien Blackheart, you have dared to challenge your master after being under my guidance for almost two months."
"What? Are you scared now? I want to vent all the emotions I’ve been holding back for a month!"
In fact, Rossweisse had been waiting for the moment when her disciple’s lover would challenge her to a one-on-one fight. Now that the man had presented his challenge, Rossweisse would not hesitate to accept the battle he wished to have with her.
"Then come and attack right now. There’s no need for a countdown. Besides, you can use all your strength to defeat your master."
After more than a month, Rossweisse and I were finally able to resume our fight. Everything I had achieved up to this point had come directly from Rossweisse. Therefore, I hoped I could shorten the gap between my strength and Rossweisse, whose power was as far apart from mine as heaven and earth.
A terrifying woman like Rossweisse was someone I couldn’t possibly defeat at this time. Even if I activated my true form as the Velvet Prostitute Physique, I would still be considered a weak being in Rossweisse’s eyes.
My Dragonoid Transformation began to activate throughout my entire body. Even my white and black wings started to emerge from my back. At the same time, an oppressive yellow-red aura relentlessly surged out from within my body.
The colour of my aura, which had previously been red whenever I entered my Dragonoid Transformation, had now completely changed to yellow. That was the change in my aura after successfully reaching the Dragon King stage. However, the level of my mana power was still not much lower than that of a peak Great Dragon King stage dragon.
The colour of Elize’s aura was bright blue. Moreover, from the very beginning, Elize’s main element had been the Ice Element. Therefore, it was not strange that her main aura possessed the purest light blue colour.
