It seems she has a visitor, but I have never sensed this new individual anywhere in the labyrinth. I decided to see this mysterious person myself as I made my way to the doors and pushed them open.
When I passed through the door, Ramiris was cheekily talking with a child, who was also talking in an extremely childish tone.
But this girl with her pink hair tied into a twin ponytail was extremely dangerous; I could tell just by looking at her.
"Oh! Is this the friend you told me about? He looks strong!" She exclaimed happily as she jumped up and down, with Ramiris smiling smugly with her expression literally screaming, 'I win!'
She then turned completely towards me and hopped in front of me, raising her hand towards me as she said. "Hey! You fight me!" She's a battle junkie! What kind of child is this strong?
"I do not fight children," I said a bit offhandedly. My goal was to not fight, but it seems my remark had irked her off, and the next second, a fist coated with an intense amount of aura was sent towards me, with me sidestepping it.
If it had not been for me becoming a spiritron lifeform and gaining light-speed reactions, I would've been dead by now.
She was extremely surprised to see me dodge it. I think she was used to always hitting things she aimed at.
Anyway, seeing that I had dodged one of her blows, she sent more. We were flying all around the labyrinth by now, and Ramiris conveniently changed the location to that of a training ground.
'Don't tell me she wants me to fight this little girl. Tch'
I was moving several times the speed of sound, and she was also slowly catching up. The air vibrated from the force of our first collision; we were blurs of gold and pink flowing around the labyrinth at an unspeakable speed.
She speeds behind me as I try to backhand her, but she catches my fist and throws me away. I floated in the air as she once again came flying my way. We once again began the 'hide and seek' game, with me flying away and this demonic, sassy child chasing me.
She seems to have some good fighting experience and a strengthening technique, and as I noticed, the longer the faux battle went on, she was slowly becoming stronger and faster.
"I will end it here! Whoever you are, I commend you for your strength. Even as a child, you seem like a prodigy." Saying this, I took out my sword, covered it in spiritrons, and used a move that I had used only once until now.
I could tell that she was extremely annoyed by me calling her a child, but seeing that I was doing something, she stood back to take the attack head-on. This is not my strongest attack, but this would be enough for a spiritual lifeform.
This would most likely kill her. Yes, I'm prepared to kill her because I know that she's no child; no child can have this much experience. The way she was completely controlling her 'Haki' was enough for me to understand that.
The only question I had was, Why was Ramiris not interfering here? She could clearly understand that this attack would kill her friend, so why is she not stopping me? Uneasiness began to creep up on me as I used my attack.
"Melt Slash." I once again turned into a golden blur as I reached her in an instant. My attack hit her, but the sword did not pierce her. I was shocked to the core for the first time since coming here, I saw someone tank and break my sword with only durability.
"Wahahaha! It's been a long time since I felt pain! I must thank you with one of mine as well!" She glowed a pink glow as her aura covered her from head to toe. Once that was over, there stood a slightly mature woman in her teenage years, with purple armor and two wings from her back, and her forehead adorning a single pinkish red horn.
She stretched her hands wide as she began taking in an enormous amount of energy from the surrounding area—some kind of energy that I had no idea about.
"Drago nova!" She screamed as she released the energy she had taken from her surroundings with a blast-like beam.
I decided to do what any intelligent man would do. Using my speed to the fullest, I dodged the blue energy beam that destroyed the training grounds and half of the labyrinth in the blink of an eye. Even the shockwave from that attack was extremely destructive.
Once the attack was over, I had Shizue by my side as she used our connection to teleport towards me when she felt my life was in danger.
"Hey! You seem strong too! You fight me too!" This girl seems to have an insatiable lust for battle; before she could move again, Ramiris whacked the back of her head with her fist. It was quite a comedic sight as we saw a small fairy hit a giant per their sizes.
"No more fighting in my labyrinth!" She exclaimed as she pointed at all the destruction we had done. "Eeeh! but I was only starting to have fun! Well whatever, guess we'll fight another time then." The draconic pink girl seemed reluctant before she agreed.
"So, what's your name?" I decided to finally ask her, as I don't want to refer to her as a 'pink girl' all the time.
"Wahahaha! I'll tell you! I'm the one and only Dragonoid, the Demon Lord Milim Nava!" No wonder she's strong, and a dragonoid? I've never seen one until now.
"I'm Karna," I introduced myself as I moved towards her, with Shizu following closely behind. I've got to remember to never let my guard down around this girl.
"Shizu." She also introduced herself; she never let her guard down; she also saw the scale of destruction after all.
"Ramiris, I've got the material you asked for. I'm not sure if it would be enough, so take a look." opening my "spatial storage." Quite some distance away from the ground, a large amount of magic ores dropped to the ground.
"Hm, we need more purer ones; this is good, but we can't make God-grade weapons with this," she said after inspecting them. I figured this would happen. I would need to go to that place if I needed to get good ores.
'I will come along with you' As expected, she clearly knows what I was planning: 'Well, I was about to ask you myself, but yes, we would need to be together; we don't know how powerful they are'
Before anyone could speak any further, we turned around and began to leave. "We will bring you ores denser than this then," Shizue said with a wave of her hands as we left.
"Take care, you guys!" Ramiris, She seems like a senseless person, but her instincts are honed to the core, and she is also all powerful inside her labyrinth.
"Bye-bye! Next time, let's fight some more." Milim also bid us good luck as a friend; she seems like a careless child with too much power on the surface, but from the earlier battle, I could discern that she was one of the smartest in the whole universe.
'This will be quite an interesting meeting, indeed.'
