12 Asynth, the Crimson Catastrophic Dragon |Aiden|

A menacing aura surrounded Neo, or was that even Neo anymore?

No, this was a completely different being.

Sure, he may have the body of Neo, but this is someone else controlling it.

Asynth, I heard that name before.

The legendary Crimson Catastrophic Dragon. One of the three sons of Eo, the Divine Celestial dragon.

As the oldest son, the gods leading from his birth feared him.

Why?

That's because when he was young, he went on a rampage in heaven and destroyed a part of it. It took about a millennium to rebuild that destroyed part. That's how much destruction he caused.

They also feared him for the extinction of dinosaurs.

You think the meteor destroyed the dinosaurs?

Well, that might be a lie.

According to our history, somewhere in the galaxy, he was brought there to train with his brothers. Then, after accidentally firing a fireball, it traveled all the way to earth and wiped the dinosaurs out.

CRUMBLE!

The ground beneath Asynth started cracking. His overwhelming aura was enough, but his presence was too much.

Though I wasn't fighting, I could still feel a chill creep up my spine.

Even with this overwhelming presence, I could tell this wasn't his full power.

I felt a hand grab onto my shoulder.

It was Katherine.

"There's no need to worry, this is all part of Mr. Eo's and Lady Asami's plan."

"I-I see..."

I said as I slowly got up. My legs were trembling at the sight of Asynth.

The green jeweled eyes and the green streaks running down his armor, his armor was imperfect.

It must be because of Neo's body, it's not suited for wielding such a powerful form.

Kyle stood up, he was shaking in fear.

"Y-you think you scare me?"

Asynth was silent.

"A-answer me!"

Asynth said nothing, he just stood there pointing his sword at him.

"Tch, bastard!!!"

Kyle's hand made a bright glow.

BAM!

An energy ray came out of his hand, heading towards Asynth.

DOOM!

Asynth swung his sword, deflecting the ray into the sky.

Then in a blink of an eye.

WHOOSH!

Asynth appeared right in front of Kyle, the tip of his blade directly in front of Kyle.

Kyle, like the coward he is, vanished into the sky.

I looked up, and it looked like he was charging up a spell.

"Hehehehe, this is my soul force, Flash Vanisher."

Flash Vanisher is a soul force passed down from the Sentinal family. It lets the user teleport anywhere in a 10-meter radius. Not only does it let the user teleport, but it can also allow the user to float in the air while also charging up a magic spell. However, this expends a large amount of mana.

Kyle already looked like he was tired.

"Tsk, what a disappointment."

Asynth rose his sword, pointing towards the air.

CHING!

Suddenly, the sword broke into ten pieces.

Those pieces would become replicas of the original sword, and they floated behind Asynth.

Again, in a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Kyle.

Asynth crossed his arms as a dumbstruck Kyle backed away from him while having his spell interrupted.

"What's wrong? You were so confident in charging up that spell of yours. Perhaps you're surrendering?"

Kyle couldn't respond. The overwhelming presence that Asynth let out made his whole body shutter.

"If you are not going to use a spell, then I might as well attack. You should surrender while you can."

Asynth snapped his fingers, the Ultima blades locking onto Kyle.

[Scarlet Suffering: Blade Storm!]

ZING!

The blades zipped past Asynth and charged at Kyle.

SWASH-SWASH-SWASH-SWASH-SWASH-SWASH!

The blades flew past him, cutting him in the legs and arms.

Then Asynth appeared above him and performed a downward kick.

BAM!

Kyle was kicked towards the ground and made a small crater as a result.

The blades and recombined once again. Asynth held the blade, heavenward.

"Say your prayers. Maybe the gods will answer them."

Asynth dashed towards Kyle, his blade ready to cut Kyle in half.

Wait, you can't do that! You're not allowed to kill!

I'd dash towards them again. The silver humanoid arm appeared in front of me, pointing at them.

"Domain of Kronos, now stop time!"

Tick-tick-tick...

My surroundings slowed down. Everyone was frozen except me.

I had stopped time.

My soul force is Kronos's Domain. I am able to stop time for a maximum of five seconds as of now.

I looked up towards Asynth, frozen in place.

Even though I don't want to, I had to move Kyle out of the way.

And then.

"You dare interfere with my fight?!"

This voice, it can't be!

I looked up towards Asynth, impossible.

Did Asynth just talk in my frozen time?!

No one is allowed to move in my frozen time except Mr. Eo. Besides him, it's merely impossible for another.

"Your going to kill him if you don't stop."

"You think I'm going to kill him?"

What? But you look like you're about to eviscerate him in half.

"Resume time, before I break this barrier of yours. And you don't want that to happen, do you?"

That's true. If someone breaks my time barrier, I would lose all consciousness and will sink into a coma. I learned this when Mr. Eo broke my barrier one time.

So I resumed time.

Since Asynth had moved a bit in my frozen time, he had appeared closer to Kyle. There was fear in his eyes.

"I-I-I..."

Kyle stuttered as Asynth dived closer.

"I-I SURRENDER!!!"

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Asynth crashed into the ground, smoke everywhere.

I coughed as the smoke cleared up.

Then I saw Asynth had his blade directly above Kyle's head, right in front of his face.

Kyle was shuttering with fear, frozen in shock.

Asynth began to chuckle as he stood up.

"Wise choice."

Then he turned around.

I could see that Kyle had pissed himself, I don't think he could handle it anymore.

That'll teach him not to get close to Lady Asami.

"You should consider yourself lucky."

Asynth said to Kyle.

"For if I didn't take control, you would've actually been killed."

Asynth walked away, the ultima blade absorbed into his arm.

Then he looked at me.

"I'm going to need you to train him, strengthen his body. I used only one percent of my power on him, but it felt like I used five."

He was only using one percent?

[Three...]

?

The golden spike coming from his chest let out a voice.

[Two...]

"It looks like my time is up, remember what I said."

[One...]

SHATTER!

The armor all over Neo's body had broken away and faded like dust.

I caught Neo as he fell unconscious.

Lucy had walked up towards us.

"My my. That was an interesting show."

What?

I looked over at Lady Asami. She smiled back at me.

Did they plan this the whole time?

I looked at the principal office window, Eo was standing there watching.

"The winner is Neo from the Hikaru household."

Lucy said as she declared the winner.

Strengthen his body huh...

I looked at Neo's skinny body.

It's going to take at least a month for that to happen...
