Master Of None

Chapter 2219: 2219. In Their Place

"I would have expected that Ignus would stop her. She will definitely get burned." Current's interest was not on Remey but on Liniana. As an elder fire dragon, It would be very incredibly insulting if she were to be burned. Let alone by someone she had just called out as not being an actual dragon.

"I doubt Ignus will. Liliana has been chasing after him to become the closest to being as royal as possible for years. Before his last mate, she was already trying to take the position. She was just too weak back then." Mordant had recalled hearing of this.

"I don't see why you care about these things. He could have multiple mates if he desired. Isn't that how most of you work?" Since Terron was an earth dragon, he didn't understand most of the other dragons. However, he did know that most dragons did not limit themselves to

partners.

"No, Ignus is powerful enough to have many. He does not wish to have many. Ignus may be more like us light dragons than what he admits. I can respect that." Since Rise was dolling out some praise, the others were somewhat surprised. To be honest though, Ignus had gone against what the previous royal fire dragon did and only been with one partner at a time.

"Stop worrying so much about them and what else might happen. I think this is very romantic. Someone came to take her man away. An unlikely but amazing pair. Remey is about to show exactly what happens when a foolish weaker female tries to touch their chosen partner. A dragoness is a dragoness. There is a very good reason why we are more powerful than most male dragons of our own kind."

This was what Ventus believed and what she was excited for. Whether Remey had wanted to, she had once given her some small pieces of advice. Especially since Ventus had needed to show her own teeth when she had chosen a partner years ago before they moved on to a smaller village. Now, she could see another younger relationship bloom.

"You do not have the control over flames that can defeat mine!" The roar of anger was in the draconic language, however, Remey knew exactly what had been said. She also responded with the same actions. However, her roar was nearly silent. Isnetad, it carried devastating heat which she could create using the fire mana naturally gathered within her body.

In return, Liliana breathed inwards before releasing a blaze of dragon fire. That would have devastated anyone or anything else. Ignus even took a wave of his hand to stop the flames from entering the other royal dragons. They were in his territory and he would not let them be harmed by someone that was supposed to be serving under him.

To the complete dumbfounded astonishment of others witnessing the sudden spectacle, the flames from a powerful elder dragon who had devoted their time to becoming just as strong as the royal fire dragon leading them, the flames became nothing.

They were completely tamed with a single motion from Remey. In return, the flames that had become a dragon from slurping Remey grew. In a single movement, insane heat was directed with extremely high accuracy at Liliana. Remey's anger clearly showed on her face for those that could see past the flames surrounding her.

The beam of condensed fire mana didn't hit anywhere but for the body of the elder dragon it targeted. However, the scales didn't seem to be able to handle the heat. "You call yourself a fire dragon yet your scales melt under my flames! What does that say about you if you call me a fake dragon? Can you even fathom what it means to be a true fire dragon soul?"

The claws of flames that struck next tire at those melted scales. Liliana couldn't even utter a sound as she was too trapped by pain. Pain that burned through her. A pain she had never experienced as a fire dragon. Even a hatchling could withstand basic flames.

However, Remey controlled flames that were many times greater than any fire dragon which had not stepped toward becoming a proper fire dominator dragon. Her flames had been condensed within her body and were always in a condensed state. The fire mana within the core she created and also within her heart was incredibly potent. Even monsters that had been born and raised in literal lava would have been burned by her attack.

"I held back since you are an important member of the fire dragon race. You are not strong enough to even approach the fire elemental planes where my race would live comfortably. You should understand your limits. Ignus and I can walk within the fire elemental planes and feel at home. You would be crushed."

The flames receded as Remey stepped down right next to the eye of the elder dragon. "And if you dare try anything like this again, I will tear you apart in front of every fire dragon and dragonlin possible. There's only one person that has managed to keep up with the heat in the alchemy lab, and he has every right to stand beside me as my own family does."

Remey flapped wings of flames and made her way back to the royal dragons. "Sorry, a friend gave me some advice about these situations. I had to act a little more than talk." Remey grinned at Ventus who smiled openly. The others realized that Remey and Ventus might be closer than what they had realized.

If they knew that Remmey had sent a few wind affinity potions to Ventus's children at her request, they would understand. It only made sense that the two would be closer when Remey had helped her and Ventus had helped Remey. Just in slightly different subjects.

"Now that this had been sorted out, I would like to continue. We all agree that Remey had a very large right to be here now? As a true fire dragon soul she is a member of our dragon race. She has the power to prove it as well." Everyone agreed with Ignus.

The elder dragon Liliana was quickly tended to. The melted scales would take at least three years to heal properly back in to the normal shining red scales of a fire dragon. She had learned a dangerous lesson.

If one were to challenge a dragon, then they should be prepared to be treated the same as a dragon. The fact that Remey had not been born a dragon of any form was just one step in her life. As she was now, she was most likely closer to the dragons than what many current dragons were. So much so that she could represent an important aspect of their culture.

Pure and terrifying power.

"We don't need to be here, do we? Remey might want to fight us too." Su's normally positive attitude was a little shaken. She knew that Remey held herself back a lot. But seeing that she could meld flames from her core proved that Remey would gladly take a step further.

"You would be fine, you know. It's everyone else we would worry about. But yes, we need to be here. To be honest, I thought you would be happy that Remey stood up for what she felt." Walker' was surprised that it was Su going against his thoughts here. Normally, she would support Remey.

"I just feel bad. That elder dragon was arrogant like normal dragons, but she got put down very hard." Walker understood. He realized that it was Su feeling bad that the elder dragon would live with her unrequited love for a long time. Plus, Su had an idea that Remey would make a serious dent in her defenses now compared to the past. It meant she hadn't trained

enough lately.

"Awesome." The two looked at Midnight who was just happy to see Remey's skills. The form she had taken using flames was definitely a racial skill and not at all part of her alchemical brawler class. So, it meant that Midnight might be able to copy it a little if she wanted.

"You are not going to run around in a giant fire dragon from and melt other fire dragon's scales. But you can learn how to do it just in case." Walker's quick reprimand was enough to make Midnight sad until she heard that she could still learn it. She just wanted to be able to use cool dragon skills like every other dragon. Meanwhile, Walker was thinking that she would be doing a lot more later in life. She was already well ahead of other dragons.
