35 Chapter 35 Summoning the Flame Dragon

Lord Sovyo, turned to look at Guffian, "She already said she doesn't want to join any of forces. That's why I am trying to coax her into joining mine. Why are you acting like I am snatching away from Beast Tamer Organisation?"

"you…." , Guffain was left speechless. He couldn't deny it since what Lord sovyo said was right.

"Guffian, what he said is correct. Stop making a ruckus", Lady Tsiru retorted at Guffian.

Althea couldn't help but rolled her eyes inwardly, she had noticed the secret eye communication between Lord Sovyo and Lady Tsiru and knew that they are up to something.

"I am sorry to disappoint all of you but, I don't want to join any of the forces. Now, can I take my leave", Althea said as she climbs atop the metal claw wolf preparing to leave. 

Immediately Lord Sovyo sent out an attack on Althea. Althea quickly dodges to the side. 

"I was testing the waters. By the way, your reflexes are quite good", said Lord Sovyo.

"Do you want to resort to coercion!", Althea fiercely glared at Lord Sovyo.

"You forced me to use coercion", said Lord Sovyo as he immediately made another move.

"The Cage of Asura", shouted Lord Sovyo, and soon a huge cage appeared and entrapped Althea.

Then Lord Sovyo turned to people from Beast Tamer Organisation and said, "I am taking her, I hope you guys wouldn't mind right"

Guffain gritted his teeth in anger but lady Tsiru held him back. "since Lord Sovyo is putting on a lot of effort, we will not interfere" said Lady Tsiru.

Inside the cage, Althea could feel her energy draining. Her consciousness was becoming hazy. She knew very well what kind of cage this is. This Asura cage of Lord Sovyo can trap anyone below the Divine level drained out the energy.

Biting her lips, Althea had no choice but to released her peak Divine level sense and cover her body. She knew that this couldn't hold long. Using her divine sense drain a lot of energy.

As soon as Althea released her peak Divine level sense, everyone outside the cage turned to look at her.

"Divine level expert!" shouted both Lord Sovyo and Lady Tsiru.

Althea got up from the ground and patted the metal claw wolf who had fainted inside the Cage of Asura. Then she lifts her head to look at those outside the cage with a smirk. Even if she was inside the Asura Cage, she showed no fear and her face. The look she gave send chills down to their spine.

Althea steeled her heart and summoned the Flame Dragon. Flames danced inside her pupils and her long hair which was tied up was now loose and was dancing along with the flame dragon behind her. The Cage of Asura melted as it came into contact with the flames from the flame dragon.

"Althea Rion! It's you!", shrieked Lady Tsiru as she subconsciously retreated few steps back.

Guffian supported Lady Tsiru, "Second Lady, are you sure it's Sovereign Althea. Didn't she died already"

Lord Sovyo was equally shocked too. "Who are you?"

"You are not qualified to know my identity", said Althea, as she played with the flames on her palms. 

"surround her", shouted Lady Tsiru at the guards behind her. She had a lingering fear in her heart, she had suffered badly at the hands of Althea Rion sixteen years ago which had left a big shadow in her heart so when she saw Althea right now, she couldn't help but tremble.

The guards even though they are afraid, still went to surround Althea. 

Althea sweep a glance at five guards then sends out the flames as she spins around along with the flame dragon. She looked like a Goddess of flame as she played with the flames.

After taking care of the guards, Althea shifted her attention towards the three people in front of her. She knew that the flame dragon energy couldn't be used for long so she wanted to finish them off in one go without dilly-dallying. 

Guffian couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva as he witnessed the tragedy of five guards. Those guards were at the peak of High level but Althea killed them with only one move without even batting an eye.

Althea walked towards them as the flame dragon coiled around her body. 

"Don't.." shouted Lady Tsiru in fear.

Without paying attention to them, Althea attacked them with the flame and the flame dragon roared and sent out its deviant flame.

But the moment the flame attack was about to reach them, a barrier made of green flame blocked off Althea's attack. 

Althea narrowed her eyes and looked at the man who had just block her attack.

"My intuition was right", said a man as he waved his hand and the green flame immediately disappeared.

"Grandmaster Lothian!", cried out Lady Tsiru and Guffian.

It was Grandmaster Lothian Dyav from the Alchemist Guild. 

Without paying any heed to them, Lothian fixed his gaze at Althea, "So you are back!"

Althea didn't reply. At the moment she was cursing inside her mind for not checking an almanac before coming to the hollow mountain range.

Noticing that Althea had no intention to talk, Lothian said, "hand over the flame dragon"

Althea laughed out and said, "in your dreams"

She had already died once and now she was not willing to die before taking her revenge.

Without any warnings, Althea sent out the flame attack one by one. Immediately an intense battle broke out between Althea and Grandmaster Lothian. 

The flame dragon energy was draining and she could not drag on for too long, so Althea decided to send out almost all the flame dragon's deviant flame. Her slender arms dance along with the flames as she sent out the attack while forcefully suppressing the surging blood on her throat. The metallic taste of blood lingered on her throat.

Noticing the attack sent out by Althea, Grandmaster Lothian activated his shield and canceled out the attack. Althea couldn't help but frown, she didn't expect her opponent to possess an artifact that could help block the attacks. That was not within her calculations.

After canceling out Althea's powerful attack, Grandmaster Lothian immediately sent out fatal attacks consecutively taking Althea off guard. Althea had almost drained her energy and couldn't dodge the opponent's attack on time. The green flame hit her on the chest and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Gritting her teeth Althea prepared to take yet another attack when a black and broad chest covered her vision blocking off the attack and she was immediately taken into a warm embrace.

Althea raised her head weakly to look at the man who came to rescue her. Sensing that the man had no malicious intent towards her, Althea subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief before closing her eyes and falling unconscious. Before she lost her consciousness she heard the man say,

 "I am sorry, I am late by one lifetime"
