Irene's POV
May 26,x385
This was the first real adventure of my life, with me was my new friend Lena Marvel, the sole survivor of the Nirvana incident one year ago. We sailed within the skies observing the world below us, seeing the countless village forests and farmlands below. Long before the age of planes and automobiles, Dragons were the only true way to reach a vast distance within hours.
In a trip that would've taken us at least a month with the fastest horse in the world, we made it to the port town of Hargeon Town within hours. The port town has existed since the age of the Crocus Empire and remained a major transportation hub of goods into Fiore. Now, it was undergoing one of the largest reconstruction efforts thanks to the outbreak of conflicts within the Fiore Civil War and the Nirvana incident.
We saw burned out buildings torched by fires, cracked and damaged cobblestone roads damaged by magical blasts and bombs, and countless tents set up covering city blocks of all the refugees staying in as their homes are rebuilt from the destruction that occurred. It would around where my first mission to hunt for a Dragon ever and we were up against one of the biggest criminals of the Medieval world, Zinocris.
Zirconis has been said to be running a major sex trafficking ring from Fiore to Dragonv, using the Gulf of Fiore and the Ishgal Sea to transport human cargo from one part to another part of the world. Zirconis is said to have personally been responsible for the voyeuristic devouring of 1,000 women. Needless to say we were up against a real monster of a Civil War in Fiore impacted Fiore's strong economy, causing an economic depression due to reconstruction efforts, this caused a rise in criminal activity in the country and the rise of sex trafficking rings in Fiore as a result, this was likely the place we would find a sex trafficking ring connected to Zirconis.
We landed in the harbor with Shakka flying off.
"Take care you two!" Shakka said to us as he flew off from the distance however it was clear he was watching us to make sure everything goes well.
"Man Hargeon Town really has fallen on hard times, everything looks so heavily damaged." I said to Lena seeing how decimated the country looked even after a year of the conflict.
"I told you, we had not only civil war, but the Nirvana Incident not long ago." Lena responded.
"You weren't kidding, I didn't think the damage was still this bad to this day, no wonder Anna and Victor weren't around the crowning ceremony. I had no idea things were this bad." I said to Lena walking around observing the damage to Hageron town.
"I heard my name mentioned.." I turned around to see Anna right there with a whole group of nuns doing a charity run.
"ANNA!" I shouted as I rush to hug her.
"Hey Irene, looks like you've grown a bit since we last left." Anna said to me hugging me back.
"Whoa, what happened to you? I thought my chest ballooned in the last 2 years but Jesus, you have boobs that most adult women don't have." I said to her envying her massive bumps on her chest.
"It's not as thrilling as it seems. I have back problems walking around with these melons on my chest, not to mention I have to wear more clothing to conceal these things so I don't accidentally temp people with sin." Anna explained to me whining about her large breasts.
"I wish we can trade breasts." Lena replied looking down at her flat chest.
"If only there was a spell like that, anyways how is things with you, Queen Irene? Sorry for not attending the crowning ceremony." Anna said with a deeply apologetic tone.
"It's okay, you got your hands full as it is right now. If my country was ravaged by warlike yours, we would've skipped the ceremony too. Speaking of the ceremony, where's cousin Sabre?" I asked my best friend while assuring her she had nothing to be ashamed of skipping out with her duties in line.
"She's now queen of Fiore much like you're currently the queen of Dragonv." Anna replied with her usual serious tone, however, I noticed she was also wearing a white Zentopian Priest outfit, an outfit no woman has ever wore.
"Lena told me everything that happened, glad to see my cousin managing this. One thing though ,you're a priest? I thought women couldn't become priests." I asked Anna shocked to see her dressing up as a priest while also happy my cousin Sabre is managing the country."Yep, father found my improvement within my magic in the Nirvana incident so great, he appointed me as a Priest, the first ever for a woman in history." Anna explained to me causing my jaw to drop. A woman being priest was virtually unheard within the male-dominated society of the Zentopian Chruch. It would never fly at all in the Church of Aserkhman, even the more liberal Temple of Zenith wouldn't allow a woman to be a priest.
"I take it after crushing the Ultra-religious establishment, your father decided to slowly reform the Church?" I asked Anna trying to compose myself as Queen while trying to overcome the shock of learning she was now in a very high position of power.
"Yeah one reform at a time though, we're busy rebuilding the country and Dad has been taking care of Queen Sabre for the time being who became queen recently as well. The Heartfilia Reformation has been slow but we're managing things, we're trying to patch things up with the Orthodox to prevent a future civil war while maintaining some reforms our father made to the church." Anna explained to me however rather than pay attention to her boring speech about the church, I was too focused on the handsome guy at the middle of town square.
It was at that moment we encounter a handsome, dreamy boy with blonde hair and blue eyes and blonde hair dressed in a regal outfit. all the girls were swooning over him and good reason, both me and Lena were swoon by his looks.
"Hello, ladies!I'm the great Duke of Bosco Sora Ackerman. As anyone seen the queen of this country?" the noble prince said to the ladies as he flicks back the hair on his bangs swooning all the ladies in attendance including myself and Lena.
"He's such a dreamy handsome man. I have been looking for a handsome prince." I said to myself as my heartthrobs out of my chest. I felt myself draw closer to him with hearts in my eyes.
"Looks like I found myself a beautiful princess or should I say queen." he said to me as he felt on my chin, I felt weak on my knees as a man was going to sweep me off my feet but then Lena came and was showing off for him as well.
"You're so dreamy!" Lena said to the duke causing me to anger.
"Hey, he's mine Lena, back off and find someone else, he prefers a woman." I shouted at Lena, losing my queenly persona and becoming another quarreling teenage girl fighting over a guy.
"Don't be silly, he looks for a woman with class, unlike you tomboy princess."Lena replied reminding me that she was formerly the princess of the Nrivit Kingdom.
"What did you say?" I replied trying to assert dominance over her.
"You heard me, you're not so classy for a princess unlike me who's a very classy princess." she replied, once again going from a shy timid girl to a competitive woman with her weird bipolar complex.
"Say that to my face, what's that, I can't see you over the large boobs blocking your way." I stated taunting her over my superior height and cleavage.
"Like I need those to please a guy." Lena responded starting at me angrily.
However, before we continue and start our brawl, Anna with her nuns appear to break up the fighting with me and Lena restrained by the nuns with Anna walking up to the prince to confront him.
"It's ungodly to be attempting to fornicate with multiple women and against the law here in Fiore. Unlike that heathen country Bosco, we won't allow Fiore to slip to a path of degeneracy so I'll have to ask you to leave the area." Anna explained to the guy acting like a cop.
"My apologies Miss Heartfilia, I was merely trying to find a beautiful woman to accompany me so I can find true love. Are any of these women Queen Sabre?" Sora replied with an embarrassed expression.
"Yeah, you can do that without the sappy display of love. Love isn't gained by kissing frogs to find the prince you know. Also, none of these women are Queen Sabre. That woman with the red hair is Queen Irene Dragonvich of Dragonv and the blue hair one is Princess Lena Marvell of the Nirvit Kingdom." Anna said to the prince looking for him with notable distrust and disdain.
"You're right, perhaps you're the one who I love the most. Are you Queen Sabre?" Sora asked Anna as he holds onto her hand like a gentleman putting on his charms on her however much to my surprise, Anna wasn't even fazed.
"No I am not Queen Sabre, I 'm not going to ask you again Sora, leave the area or I'll arrest you for disturbing the peace and violating religious Code 540." Anna replied completely unfazed by his charm magic.
"Fine, sorry ladies, I'm going to get going now... I'm going to find the woman I'm arranged to marry Queen Sabre. I have an array of handsome royals like myself in my royal ship for those looking to get married to royalty. Meet me at my Royal Ship later on where I will have a ballroom dance, wear something fancy for me." Sora replied as he walks away from the square. Needless to say all the ladies were mad at Anna.
"What are you girls looking at ? Get out of here before I arrest you all for obstructing trade flow." Anna said to them as the crowd disperses looking at them with anger.
"That was rather rude Anna, did you really need to drive him out like that?" I asked her not happy she was acting like a bitch.
"I'm horribly disappointed in you two if you can't see through a simple charm spell. If this is the guy Sabre is marrying, I question this man's intentions for this country." Anna replied looking far more serious than I ever saw her.
"Charm spell? Wait I didn't even.." I asked her shocked that we were under his charm magic.
"You let your teenage hormones get the better of you, same with you Lena. Of all people, I expect better from the both of you." Anna explained to us noting that we should've been able to see through it.
"How weren't you affected by it?" I asked her wondering how me and Lena affected but not her.
"I'm a priest of a pure heart, I took the vow of celibacy." she responded with a stern look on her face.
"But your father is the Pope and in fact revoked the law allowing priests to get married." I questioned her reminding her of the reform efforts.
"My point is I am a woman of god, it's not so easily charmed by charm magic like all holy women." Anna replied defensively upset I was questioning her.
"You mean those holy women swooning over Sora." Lena replied pointing out even they're affected and still swooning over him.
"Well. ...It doesn't matter, what's important is why is he using Charm Magic? He's the guy the Boscoan Royal Family arranged to marry your cousin a week ago yet something feels off. Why would a Royal Family prince need charm magic?" Anna said within her inquisitional tone onto something greater than I was realizing.
"You don't think that he might be involved in the sex trafficking rings?" I asked her shocked at what was going on.
"This only adds more inquiry into my own investigation of this fact the reason I'm here is to solve the case of multiple abductions of young women that keep disappearing around Hageron Town.
"You don't think this guy is working with Zincoris?" I asked Anna only for her to have a clueless look on her face.
"Zincoris?" Anna asked.
"I've been sent to search for that dragon, apparently he's running a human trafficking ring with the ship routes and it would make sense he's using the ports here to do this trickery. Man Zincoris has some powerful mages at his disposal when even I was affected by Charm magic." I explained to Anna about my purpose of being within Fiore."No kidding, not even I could see through that."Lena replied worried.
"I see, if my estimations are correct, this would explain things. Bosco, Seven and Fiore have always had a rocky relationship that ended in trade wars between the three kingdoms, what if that prince is working with the dragon to destabilize Fiore so Bosco can seize the country recovering from war without a ruler. This has made this much more complicated than before. Anyways we need to warn the queen that the arranged marriage is a trap and prepare for any invasion by Bosco." Anna explained coming the to conclusion there was a bigger threat occurring.
"We must warn my cousin immediately." I shouted.
"Very well then, we don't have time to waste." she replied as she hops on a white horse she had stationed near the church and both me and Lena rode on the horse.
The trek from Hageron and Crocus took us a total of 1.5 hours. We managed to make it to Mercurius in time to warn the newly elected queen Sabre about the impending threat. I haven't seen Sabre Fiore since the funeral of my mother and father.
She grew into a woman roughly the size of Lena, however, she was as firm and busty as myself. She had wavy light green hair that reaches down to the middle of her back with two strands that frame her face as well as a set of tufts that obscures the majority of her forehead with beautiful large dark green eyes with long eyelashes wearing a long white dress wearing a fair amount of jewelry with her tiara.
"Irene, it's been ages since we've seen each other." Sabre said to me.
"Nice meeting you again, however, there's no time to talk with each other. Your life is in danger again." I warned her.
"In danger?" she asked shocked by my warning.
"Prince Sora we believe might be involved in the recent sex trafficking rings within Bosco. Your majesty." Anna answered.
"What?" she asked shocked at the accusation.
"Sora used charm magic on us to make use adore him, that makes it suspicious about his intentions. It's possible that Sora might be working for sex traffickers who might be would for Bosco who are hiring Zirconis to take out the country." Anna explained to the queen about the conspiracy against them.
"Is this true?" the queen asked us.
"Yeah, the guy fooled even us." Lena answered.
"If Anna is correct, I'll get Victor to assemble the Zentopia Legion Crop to come towards the castle to safeguard me. You guys investigate the Royal Ship Sora told you about. Anna give the message to your father about the potential incoming kidnapping attempt. Victor 's the only man in the entire kingdom who can defeat a Dragon in battle, we need him as a defense. Irene, you shut down the operation with Lena and bring Sora to me." I explained to the three about the mission goal.
"Very well then. Lena, Irene, follow this Sora guy and hope to find the ring and shut down that dragon Zirconis once and for all. Ever since the Civil War ended, we've been seeing these sex trafficking rings and use of charm magic appear more and more here. I'll assemble the troops to intercept and blockade the ship and his mansion, I'll see you later." Anna said to us as she left to the Holy Zentopia Church to get back up.
"We'll meet you at Hageron."I replied back to Anna as me and her part ways with me and Lena coming to that Royal Party.
Me and Lena rode back to Hageron with the same horse while Anna is riding a caravan with armed knights to the Grand Zentopia Church. Knowing about Sora, I followed him to his Mansion and Royal Ship already at the outskirts of town which were larger than a standard mansion which was spacious in itself. Lena and I split up into a group with Anna Heartfilia assembling a Division of the Virtue White Knights in the Grand Zentopia Church which enforce the religious law. Despite Victor Heartfilia being more lenient, he still enforces the ban on Homosexuality, prostitution, and gambling but allowed for alcohol consumption in the private home.
We arrived at the house looking at it, it looked very fancy and regal like that of a royal ship but something seemed off about it.
"So this is his house?" I asked her.
"It's large enough to carry an entire Battalion of soldiers." Lena stated looking at the ship.
"Or enough to transport a few dragons." I replied looking at the unusually large royal ship enough to fit thousands of people.
"So shall we go in?" she asked me looking a bit nervous, I can't blame her considering she was up against a dragon.
We explored around the house only to confirm my suspicions being correct, this house was constructed to fit a dragon within it, it was too hollowed out and was lacking in rooms for humans. This must've been one of Zicnrois hideouts.
"There are no rooms here at all?" Lena said to me.
"That's because this is one giant room for a dragon. It's standard protocol for rooms housing Dragons to have at least 30 meters high in space and over 50 meters wide, the appearance of the mansion looks to be a decoy to make it seem like the place is smaller than expected."I explained to Lena about the housing sizes in Dragonv.
"So why you think he has this front?" she asked me only to clumsily trip on something, that something turned out to be a puddle of blood"AHHH!"She shouted frightened as the blood spots she saw with me also getting terrified.
"This is bad, this is where he devours the bodies….We gotta see if there's anyone here we can save." I said to Lena as we went to the basement, the only place not hollowed out for a dragon to fit in.
We came to the basement when we saw hundreds of girls trapped there for seemingly days with ages ranging from 13 to 34 within the cages. They looked more like they were livestock than sex slaves which fits the MO of Zirconis, the Vore Hermit Dragon who devours women alive.
"This is terrible! We need to rescue these girls!" Lena said to me rightfully upset of the atrocities that lie before her.
"This is much worse than I was expecting, let's open these cages." I replied back ready to cut the cages through to save the girls however we then heard the door opening and several footsteps walking in.
"That must be the sex traffickers!" Lena said with notable anger in her tone.
"Damn it, Lena stay here and try to free as many girls as possible, I'll buy some time in the meantime." I said to Lena as I was ready to do whatever it took to free those girls safely. Knowing that they're here for the girls to bring them into the ships, we devised a plan to recuse the girls.
I saw Sora talking with the sex traffickers, a group of sleazy men who appear to be wearing Fiore Military outfits. Sora's influence was so much, be brought off local military officials into running his operation.
One of the leaders was a man with a Knight outfit who had brown hair and a looked roughly in his 40's, he wore a long blue cape with the standard Rune Knight Cavalry Armor but has a wolf hat forged from a white stood over 6 in a half feet tall and had a very muscular body that as scared from decades of battle him he carried a massive broadsword the size of his own body with the blade's width being almost as long.
To think one of the Rune Knight Division Commanders would be the ringleader of the sex trafficking ring. It was unsettling to think someone trusted to uphold the law was breaking the law. Needless to say, he was not happy about his "missing shipments". I hid amongst boxes to hear the conservation.
"Commander Uniorku, what brings you here?" Sora asked the commander.
"We've been getting complaints from our contacts in Bosco and Seven about missing shipments of our virgin girls, are you turning them to the feds?." the sex trafficker leader asked them.
"Don't blame me, blame those pirates raiding our cargo ships. I'm merely trying to maintain a profit here." Sora answered.
"I never thought a Royal like you would be running a Sex trafficking ring." Uniorku, stated given how unusual it was for him to get his hands dirty.
"Don't put too much questions, you're here to supply me the girls and I can sell them to the highest bidders, that's the deal. Tonight I have a party to attend to you by the ship. We have four girls you might like for your collection. You can make a pretty profit from them, especially since they're all virgins." Sora explained to the sex trafficker.
"You mean Queen Sabre and queen Irene? Those two are quite the catch. Wouldn't we need to worry about Zentopia and the Dragons? Those two are hot cargo you know, Same with Anna Heartfilia. None of them are missing an entire kingdom like Lena Marvel." Commander Uniorku asked the young prince.
"Does it matter? The newly appointed Queen isn't a true monster like her mother and with our contacts, we can ensure you were safe for the time being. Tonight our ship sails to Bosco, by tomorrow these four would be walking sex brothels making us great amounts of cash and without a queen there, the country would fall to chaos." the young prince explained his plan.
"What about Victor Heartfilia, when he finds out our plan, he would kill us." Commander Uniorku stated.
"Don't worry, we would hold Anna Heartfilia Hostage and set him up to die. I got some dragons on the payroll to assist in his murder. Even the mightiest mage can't fight off several high-level dragons at once. Had to sacrifice a bit of the cargo to get them to side with us though." Sora replied with an answer that was very upsetting to the leader of the ring.
"YOU DID WHAT? You bastard, I knew something was up with the recent missing shipments." Commander Uniorku shouted not too happy about the young prince telling him his shipments were compromised.
"Relax, I only gave them the ugly worn out whores. All the virgins are still fine. After all, you can't really bully a dragon into helping you. Dragons only listen to you if you gave them something in return, it's been that way since the beginning of time, my friend. " Sora stated not scared by the hostility of the big brute.
"You know for a little royal shit you're not half bad, better to have dragons help us secure some whore than be dragon chow or to be at the receiving hand of the Holy Pope Victor Heartfilia. I saw him once take out an entire Battalion of rebelling Zentopia monks single-handedly and kill all 12 members of the Anti Mage Elite Unit Himself along with Prince Martin. You're sure the dragons would be enough to kill this guy?" Commander Uniorku replied calming down a bit. My blood was boiling with rage that they can treat fellow human beings like this, however, I had to maintain my calm.
"I have a plan B saved up, once we stir enough tensions between the Fiore Royal, Seven Royal Family and Bosco Royal Family, we would have them wipe each other out and from the ashes, we would have three kingdoms we can rule ourselves and our dream of a kingdom in which women serve as our sex slaves would be realized." Sora explained his intentions to him, it sounded absurd that they think they could ever hope to succeed.
"Still, to take the Queen of Dragonv as a sex slave, this would risk pissing off the largest military force in the world, a small army of mercenary dragons isn't going to protect us from their wrath once we find out we raped their queen and have her as a sex slave. There's no way humans can fight dragons. This isn't a folktale in which we can seige a kingdom and make women our sex slaves because of a few magic collars, some mercenaries, and a few ogres, this is real life." Commander Uniorku shouted surprisingly being the more rational of the town despite being an obvious meathead.
"Don't worry your pretty little head. I'm already working on making contacts with the Dark Dragon Tribe, as mighty as Dragonv is, without their precious queen around, they would be vulnerable to invasion, we can buy time by making Bosco, Seven and Fiore the base of the Dark Dragon Tribe while we take pleasure in earning cash, then once things head south, we would overthrow another country and maintain our profits of making women sex slaves."Sora responded with even more delusions of grandeur.
"This is insanely far-fetched, you think this can really work?" Commander Uniorku asked him.
"Don't worry, I didn't pay off members of the Hargeon Police and Fiore Military to ask questions, you're job is to cover up any missing person reports and to help me traffick these all I'm a royal. You're the Division Commander of Hargeon, you can make sure that the higher-ups don't find out" Sora replied commanding him to act.
"Right sir, once you gather enough girls here, we would take them in." Commander Uniorku replied as he left out.
This was much worse than I thought, Zicornsis was thinking about using human traffickers, mercenary dragons and slavers to destroy Fiore, Bosco, and Seven in a conflict and align with the Dark Dragon Tribe while taking me out too, this was no longer just a hunt for a criminal but to end a kabal.
I waited for the commander to take his leave to assemble his forces to quietly exit out and follow Sora to his ship docked in a port. I was buying Anna enough time to assemble the forces while Lena stood back in the fake mansion, trying to free as much sex slaves as possible, most of the sex slaves being around our age.
I decided that since Sora was after me, I go and try to buy more time acting as bait. I went into the ship within my arttie.
"Looks like you're the first to come to my party my princess, truth be told I found you the most beautiful." Sora said to me playing the Casanova prince.
"You mean that? What about Anna?She's bigger than me?" I asked him trying to mask the fact I was onto him.
"Boobs are not everything to a woman, besides I prefer redheads anyways."Sora replied with his smooth talk as he holds my hand.
"You think that? " I asked him actually blushing from his complaint.
"I know so, now let's have a good time." Sora replied as he kissed my hand.
"What's going on, why am I still being charmed by this guy? Come on, I need to cancel it out!" I said to myself as I realized I was under the effects of his charm magic, his magic was so strong that he was able to charm even someone of my caliber effortlessly. If this was his skill, I dread to imagine the power of Zinicors magic.
Slowly but surely I was being touched by Sora, he was touching my hand and raising his hands on my body. I struggled to fight back but my body won't respond to my mind's functions. He was going to violate me if I didn't escape his magic however his Charm magic was starting to work on me again, I felt weak and powerless as he came close to taking my first kiss.
"Don't worry princess, soon you would be like all the other girls, in fact, you would be the best one I've had once I consume you and your tasty magic." Sora said to me, it was at that moment I started to catch on that Sora wasn't who he said he was. I felt terrified as he came close to kissing me.
Just when things seem hopeless and I was going to succumb to his power, Anna swooped in and planted her heel into the face of Sora mashing him into a wall saving me from his grasp.
"That Sora Ackerman guy is a fake, according to witness reports, this guy is someone using some kind of disguise." Anna shouted as she grabs me and picks me up and gets me away from the perverted prince.
"What you mean a fake?" I asked her.
"The Real Sora's body was found in the forest on the outskirts of Mongolia within the forest. When I went to assemble the knights, I got tipped off about a body being found in the forest by a carrier pigeon message that had the royal crest of the Bosco family. The body was over a few weeks old with the body having the royal decree of marriage, this guy is a complete fake. I ran ahead of the unit to warn you about this guy." Anna explained to me about all the information she got.
"So you found out about my little trick didn't you bitch? I'm surprised you not only withstood my charm magic but saw through my disguise. Guys get these two shanks and violate them to your heart's content." the fake prince said to his men as before we knew it, over 100 slavers, most of them bandits and some of them being corrupt Rune Knights appear to face us.
Anna and I were surrounded by 100 bandits.
"Men get them!" the fake prince commanded as the bandits charged at us wanting to violate us.
"Dibs on the blondie!" One of the piggish thugs shouted wanting to take Anna's maidenhood.
"I prefer the redhead!" the piggish man shouted.
"Remember guys don't kill them, they're worth too much to be killed and thrown away." Sora replied stating they need us alive for their purposes.
"Right, let's sell them and fuck them then sell them boys." one of the thugs whistled to his boys.
"You disgusting pigs, selling humans as disposable tools, you're incurred the wrath of the Queen of Dragonv!" I shouted at them as I drew out a standard sword alongside the Hoshigami No Satsuki, these low-level thugs were unworthy of fighting against my true blade.
"Indeed, you low lives violate the decency of our beautiful country of Fiore with your profiting off people's suffering. For that God has deemed you to be sinful and you must be punished for your sins you low life criminals." Anna said to them with intensity and anger in her eyes as she draws out a whip to fight them.
"A whip?Seriously, no sword or anything."I asked her shocked to see her with the whip.
"The way Zentopia functions is that we're a peaceful and Priests aren't allowed to take lives needlessly and fight in a form of self-defense. Hence father gave me this as a defense weapon to disarm thugs like them of their weaponry. It's also used a form of punishing the wicked." Anna explained to me as she carried her leather whip around.
One man came me with an axe hoping to knock the blade out of my hand but I gripped onto my normal broadsword and merely flicked my wrist standing still and sliced the handle off his axe guard, breaking his weapon in half While the guy was staggered, i grabbed his left hand and tossed him as hard as I could, shattering the wooden floor as his head impacted the floor, knocking him out instantly.
One guy then came dashing towards Anna, however, she manages to use her long whip to knock the sword out of his hand and manages to deliver a flying kick to his jaw, knocking the guy off his feet and falling onto the ground seconds later.
"Not bad Anna, guess that whip really does come in handy." I said to Anna.
"Dad has trained me to use this as a non-lethal way to defeat criminals." she replied with a smile as 5 more guys charge at us however they were walking towards me as I put my hands up
"Fire Bullet!"I chanted as I shoot a simple fireball towards the charging attackers, engulfing them in flames in seconds, I only used a bit of my power to gave them all second-degree burns and force them to run away with their clothing on fire.
"You're not getting away! Holy Light Beam!" Anna chanted as she goes into a prayer pose and shot a beam of light at the retreating thugs knocking them all out as well as 5 more thugs nearby.
"Those two are very powerful, it's insane they defeated our men with ease." one the thugs said to another.
"We're up against the Queen of Dragons after all and the daughter of Victor Heartfilia, however, we can't let them scare us, we got the numbers edge here." another thug replied as he railles 80 of the other thugs to charge towards us.
"Stick back Anna, I got this one!" I said to her as I dropped my broadsword and switched to my main blade.
With a single Horizontal stroke, I slashed 5 men across the chest moving faster than they can ever hope to react with one of them staggering superior sharpness of the Hoshigami no Satsuki made quick word of their blades. While I couldn't cut iron yet, the sharp blade of my mothers cut through it like butter as 5 guys fall to the floor with mild slashes before their cleaved blades hit the floor.
I then leaped into the air and did another powerful stroke, taking out 15 other guys, shattering their weapons before they can attack me. I moved so fast that they couldn't keep up with me as I shattered their swords and collarbones with my strikes. I then did a 360-degree spin slash that incapacitated 20 thugs at once, shattering their blades and knocking them out with the blunt edges of my blades without drawing any blood on them.
"Damn you bitch! You'll pay for that!" the thug shouted as he had a lightning bolt in his hand and fired it at me however I dodged it for it was merely a cheap imitation nowhere near as fast as actual Lightning and appeared behind him as an afterimage.
"That wasn't close to an actual lightning bolt!" I said to him behind him with a menacing guy broke out in a cold sweat.
"How did you.." the thug said prior to me hitting him in the back of the head with my hilt. I was able to easily take out 80 sex traffickers without getting a scratch on me.
"Amazing, you can switch between blunt edges to avoid killing them and use powerful strikes to cut without killing the opponent." Anna said to me amazed by my handiwork against the thugs i've defeated.
"Uncle Fred taught me well when I was in Zenith how to take out opponents, how to disarm opponents without killing blade work still needs work for had not for the sharpness of the Hoshigami No Satsuki, I couldn't cut Iron."I explained to Anna only for 5 thugs armed with crossbows to be aiming behind me while off-guard.
"Gotcha now bitch" the thugs laughed only for a thundering explosion to occur with a massive explosion blasting a hole through the ship as wide as a human as 5 guys are knocked out from the explosion. When I looked again, I saw Anna with what appeared to be portable Medieval canon behind her that looked like one of the ship's cannons.
"Whoa, I didn't know you had a happened to self-defense?" I asked her only to see it turn back into a wooden ball with a metal halo.
"I don't this is my Silver Key Caelum. This is the last resort Celestial Spirit, it doesn't talk much but it's very effective as a last resort. It's the strongest spirit I got aside from Aquarius but it takes a lot of my energy to use." Anna said to me as she looks a bit worn.
"Those guys weren't that big of a threat." I stated remarking at their low magic and skill level.
"I know, I just wanted to demonstrate that you're not the only one who's gotten stronger in 5 years. Closing Gate of The Chisel: Caelum."Anna said to the wooden ball as it returned to the Celestial Spirit World.
We chased after Sora who was outside of the ship when we then saw over 100 more armed traffickers with swords and shields ready for us.
"This is as far as you two go. Commander Uniorku, thanks for the backup." the fake prince said to the commander.
"Thanks, these guys are newly recruited Captains part of the trade."Commander Uniorku replied as he draws out his massive broadsword.
"It can't be, Commander Uniorku, you were supposed to be the Division Commander of the Virtue Knights. How could you fell so low as to aid slavers and sinners?"Anna asked him shocked and horrified at the truth of his betrayal.
"Looks like fighting 100 men has worn you two out, if you're tired from mere grunts, try dealing with people stronger than your average grunts. We're going to capture you and sell your ass to slavery and my boys are going to have some fun with you two, but we promise we would leave your hymen intact for the highest bidder." Commander Uniorku said to them while licking his lips.
"A Division Commander and 100 men? No way we can take on that many ourselves."Anna said to me notably worried.
"Thankfully we didn't come alone!"I replied sensing Lena was finished freeing every last girl.
"Sand Pit!" Lena chanted as she caused a large quicksand pile to form around 100 soldiers and the division commander trapping them in the sand with her riding a Sand Tendril to arrive between me and Anna.
"Everyone is free as expected Irene!" Lena said to me happy she freed over 300 female prisoners.
"Impossible, you freed all of them? Bitch!" Sora shouted angrily.
"That's right we put your little ring out of business, now surrender!" I said to them with a cocky smirk on my face.
"Good going Irene, glad you and Lena got the girls out but be careful, our opponent is a Division Commander. Underestimate him at your own peril, not even I can take on someone of his caliber. He's strong enough to destroy a whole mountain with a swipe of his sword." Anna said to me however I was ready to handle him as I drew out my sword ready to battle with him.
"Not bad survivor of Nrivrit but it's going to take more than a mere sand pit to entrap me. Your Mother was still stronger than this." Uniorku replied as he flexed his muscle and stabbed his sword into the ground dispelling the sand with ease freeing all of his men as well.
"No way, he broke through my sandpit easily with raw strength." Lena said to herself terrified at what she just saw.
"Men charge!" Commander Uniorku ordered only for them to be stopped by arrows nearly hitting them from the Virtue Knights Rune Knight division. About 75 of them have arrived on horseback with bows and arrows and swords.
"Priest Heartfilia, we've made it in time." said one of the captains of the unit.
"Glad you came, Irene, I'll leave the division commander to you, me and Lena would assist the Rune Knights in fighting off these traitors to our country," Anna said to me as I prepared to fight against the Division Commander while Anna and Lena fought against the defected Rune Knights with the Rune Knights.
"Right!" Both of them replied as they go assist the Rune Knights in battle while I fought face to face with Division Commander of the Rune Knight Division in Hargeon , Commander Uniorku."So that's the legendary Hoshigami No Satsuki?That small butter knife?Don't make me laugh! ! I'm guessing the claims that humans can slay Dragons is nothing more but bullshit invented by women to mask the fact they can never match a man in power." Uniorku arrogantly said with his misogynistic rantings.
"How dare you insult my mother's legacy and the Hoshigami No Satsuki? My mother is the reason you are even breathing to this day.I'll make you regret the day you utter your insolent words against my blade." I said to him angered that he dare insult my mother and my blade gripping my sword.
"Sorry but I never bought the idea that a woman can do anything other than be in the kitchen and be a breeding tool that little twig is something I expect a woman in the kitchen to wield." arrogantly started with his annoying low pitch chuckle as he draws out his massive Broadsword."'Now this baby is a real sword, a sword made for a real man."
"What are you overcompensating something here? I'm going to teach you that size doesn't matter."I replied as I prepared to beat some sense and fear to him.
Meanwhile, Anna and Lena were assisting the Rune Knights in combat ready to fight.
"Time to get serious! Gate of the Giant Crab Key Cancer." Anna chanted as she revealed her newest Celestial spirit she earned.
Cancer was a very different looking spirit to his modern day of two scissors, he wielded two large medieval shaving blades, he was wearing a medieval barber outfit which was black with a black barber hat with a middle age era surgical mask. He still had dark skin underneath it.
In an instant, he dashes through 20 well armed and well armored defected Rune Knights and completely disabled them of their swords and armor, cutting them to pieces before they can react and shaving their beards, mustaches and hair off making them completely bald.
"We've been shaved completely bald!" one of the defected knights shouted.
"Worse our armor and weapons were destroyed in the process." the other knight responded horrified at the fact they've been disarmed.
"We surrender, just get us some clothes." the third knight said as they surrender to the Virtue Knights.
Meanwhile, 5 Knights try to attack Lena but their weapons come nowhere close to damaging her as she easily blocks them with her Sand Tendrils.
"You guys are too slow!"She said to them as she replies them with a sand wave.
"We can't get close to her, she's too powerful." the defected knights shouted as they're attacks are easily deflected by Lena.
"Sand Slash" Lena chanted as she swiped her left hand and slashed down 5 defected knights attacking alongside 20 caught in the trajectory of the crescent wave of sand, all of them with mild gashes on their torso with their armor destroyed along with their swords and shields.
"Nice one Lena!"Anna said to her shaking her hand.
"The other rune knights can handle the rest, anyways let's.." Lena replied however Before they know it two massive ogres appear knocking back 10 Rune Knights with their massive clubs. One of them is a massive red Ogre with red skin and the other is an ogre with blue skin. The red Ogre carried a massive spike club and the blue one carried a massive battle ax, each the size of one-story buildings and each of the orcs were twice as tall as Commander Uniorku.
"We came for the girls!"The two ogres said at the same time as the red one carried a massive club with spikes the blue one carried one with an ax. Both of them wore loincloths made from weretiger skins.
"I take it these guys are the muscle for the operations."Lena said to Anna.
"The Ogre brothers Celesteio and Rosso, these guys are dangerous S Class level ogres. The Division Commander has these guys as part of his gang?." Anna said to Lena notably nervous at the presence of them.
"How bad are they?" Lena asked her.
"These two ogres are infamous sex traffickers who killed at least 50 Knights attempting to stop their operation, all being Colonel class. They're very powerful and dangerous, be on your guard. "Anna warned Lena, these guys were fairly strong however they weren't very smart.
"Brother, can I take, the small little girl there?I like children." Rosso asked him offending Lena.
"I'M NOT A LITTLE GIRL ASSHOLE!" Lena shouted furious of the remark."You want me, try to get me." Lena shouted intense in her anger as she comes out with her sand.
"Go right ahead brother, I prefer the nice busty women better, especially if they're blonde." Rososo replied licking his lips as he carried his ax around towards Anna.
"These guys are strong, however, we must hold them out while Irene takes out the big boss." Anna replied as she takes out her whip against the blue ogre with the giant ax.
Meanwhile, I clashed swords with the brute known as Commander Uniorku who swings his massive broadsword which creates a slashing wave uplifting the ground casually with merely sword swing. He was no joke when it came to raw power, he had the edge, however, I processed superior swordsmanship as I parried each blow from him as the blade comes inches to my face.
"Not bad for the weaker sex, I the mighty Commander Uniorku Zaine have fought countless warriors and I've yet to be defeated in battle, it's the first time I fought a woman with some teeth on her."Commander Uniorku arrogantly mocked as he fought against me thinking he can win
"Spare me your bullshit, you're not getting anywhere close to that goal." I replied back as I clashed blades with him. He kept swinging his blade with a clear lack of form however he was very powerful, keeping me on the defensive.
Meanwhile, Lena had her hands full fighting against the ogre with the spiked club. She attempted her sand walls to stop his attacks but much to her misfortune, the ogre's club was a special anti-defense weapon that shattered her sand wall and sends her flying back into a wall.
"My Sand Walls were easily broken?" Lena asked herself shocked that her defenses were easily shattered.
"No way a puny human girl is going to defeat an S Class level about you surrender your body to me and I promise I won't hurt you too bad little girl?" Rosso lewdly said to Lena.
"I'm not a little girl, you're going to eat those words!" Lena shouted now furious and determined to beat the red ogre.
Meanwhile, Anna was struggling up against her opponent who's she's blasting with her Holy Magic.
"Holy Light Beam!" Anna chanted as she goes into a prayer pose and shoot a beam of light towards the Blue Ogre but the blast doesn't even flinch him."Crap"
"Stupid woman, women are weak, they can't beat men!" Celesteio laughed as he swung his ax dangerously close to Anna but Cancer summoned himself to block the blow but his blades were shattered.
"Cancer!"Anna shouted.
"Damn herten broke my blades, looks like your spiritual power is low, recover it while I find a way to hold him off."Cancer said to Anna.
"Okay then." Anna replied merely nodding, she was going to have to buy some time before she can fight him at full strength.
Meanwhile I was having my own he lacked in swordsmanship techniques, he had the raw power and combat experience to make up for those faults. It was becoming harder to get close to him as his parries pushed me several meters away effortlessly.
"HAHAHAHA! Seeing the difference in power now? You're merely a woman whereas I'm a man, the strength difference couldn't be any more obvious, you might be able to keep up but you sure as hell can't match my manly strength, now do me a favor and make me some broth and offer your pussy to me." Uniorku ranted in his other sexist tirade.
"Shut it! I don't care what you say, I will beat you and I will make you face justice for betraying this country and for the crimes you did against women and children." I replied shouting at him as I tried to parry him however due to my anger, I almost slipped up.
"Gotcha fool!" Uniorku shouted as he swung his blade so close to my face that I felt the sharp end of the blade on my check despite the blade being inches from me. However, I was able to evade in a spilt millisecond remembering Zeusei's training. Had I didn't I would've lost my head.
"You know nearly decapitating me isn't the best way to get me as your sex slave." I said to him trying to play cool in the face I almost died in that strike, blood drip down my left cheek but it was a minor flesh wound, I had much worse from training.
"You see the difference between us?I must admit, for a woman, for an experienced brat, you actually have some good moves but swords are meant for men, swords are tools of war used by men, the only thing a woman should do is polish my sword, both figuratively and literally. Truth be told I've been holding back my true power now." Uniorku arrogantly stated as he swings his sword creating a large fissure on the ground expanding the length of a small village.
"How arrogant, you think a sword is only a tool yet you call yourself a swordsman?For someone of such power and prestige, you're an idiot when it comes to swords. A sword isn't merely a tool to use, it's an extension of yourself as a person." I explained to him stating that a sword shouldn't be merely used as a tool.
"Like I'm going to be lectured by a woman how to use a sword, especially a brat who's never been outside of her Ivory tower until today. I've fought for 25 years within the Rune Knights, not a single person has beaten me in a swordfight, what things you have and hope of beating me?"Uniorku explained to me thinking his experience matters against a superior opponent.
"Because I'm the Queen of the dragons, hate to break it to you but I've yet to go all out either." I replied as I got serious as well.
Me and Uniorku clashed attacks once again. My small Wakizashi clashing with his man-sized Broadsword, it was a massive contrast in size, power and experience. He had almost everything above me when you think about it, however, regardless of his experience and strength, he lacked the respect for his own blade.
Eventually, my small blade came up short against his massive broadsword and I was knocked back by a two-handed vertical slash from him which creates an earthquake felt across Hargeon Town.
"Still think you're my equal?Coming at me with a butter knife like that when it pales in comparison to my sword?" Uniorku arrogantly mocked me.
"On the contrary, I've gotten used to your pattern, I was merely holding back to test to see if you had anything more than brute become a division Commander with merely brute force? Fiore Must be slipping if they let someone as weak as you in their ranks, you're easily one of the weaker Division Commanders." I said to him taunting him to get him to reveal all his tricks to me and to find an opening in his defenses.
"How dare you call me weak!You're a woman, you're the one who's weak! We'll see who's weak. Mountain Splitter." He swung his sword very hard towards me creating a slashing wave which I barely was able to maintain as the force of the slash was uplifting the ground around me. However, I already got used to his fighting style.
"Such power!" I shouted as I struggled to maintain the force of the slash as I was slowly being pushed back from the immense pressure of the attack.
"Give it up, that slash is unblockable, nothing can stop the power of my slash which can cleave even mountains in half, especially no butter knife. Tell you want, if you willingly surrender your body to me, I can cancel out my attack." he said to me arrogant thinking that he had me.
"As if asshole!" I replied rejecting his distasteful remarks.
"Shame, I just have to find a powerful spell to revive the dead because you're not surviving this one!" he replied with his arrogant tone as he was dragging me back but I was able to stop his attack shocking him"What!"
"I guess I don't need to hold back against you then." i replied back as I stopped his massive slash wave as it uplifts the ground around me raising a massive hill of rock formed from the slash wave as two halves of the slash wave fly in directions and destroy two mountains in the distance.
"Impossible!How did you stop my attack?" He asked me shocked as his face turned pale in fear of me stopping his strongest attack effortlessly.
"Looks like the weaker sex wins!" I replied as I leaped up into the air and did a powerful jumping slash " Braveheart.", I chanted as with the one slash I did shattered his sword, splitting it in half and putting a large gash on his shoulder knocking him out for sure. My small wakizashi split his massive broadsword cleanly in two. He, however, was still standing.
"It's not over yet bitch, I can still fight !" He shouted as he charged at me with the sawed off half of his broadsword but I effortlessly caught it with my bare hand." What?Impossible!" shouted as he struggled to overpower my grip with both hands on his broken blade while I held his blade perfectly in place with merely my left hand, his manly strength might've been great at first but given he couldn't go any higher, he was far inferior to someone who trained with dragons.
"See what I mean, I think you've learned an important lesson today, size doesn't matter." I said to him as I punched him very hard in the face knocking him out cold with a single strike shocking everyone around me that I punched a commander in the face out cold. It hurt like hell punching him in the face but I shrugged off the minor pain in my right hand.
Meanwhile, Lena and Anna are both having a tough time against their opponents when they noticed I defeated a Division commander in one blow.
"How's that even possible? Irene barely got a scratch fighting Mountain Slayer Uniorku Zaine, she's grown much stronger than we originally thought possible." Anna said shocked to see him defeated by me.
"She can take on a Dragon now, then again she was trained by the dragons." Lena responded noting how strong I was.
Celesteio and Rosso come at the two with their attacks however Anna and Lena motivated by my victory over the Division Commander then power up to use their strongest attacks.
"We won't disappoint Irene!Gate of the Golden Bull Key Taurus Open"Anna said to Lena as she takes out a Golden key and makes the enchantment to summon Taurus who's dressed in a gladiator outfit.
"At your service Anna honey." Taurus said to Anna but she's not in the mood for his perversion.
"Zip it Taurus, I'm not here for you to debase my body with unholy thoughts, deal with that ax-wielding ogre. Hold him off while I perform my strongest attack." Anna said angered at Taurus perving at her at a time of crisis.
"Will do Anna love!" Taurus replied as he clashed evenly with the blue ogre wielding the ax with the two matching blow for blow, however, Taurus proves to be superior as he keeps the ogre on the defensive. Nothing less from the strongest Celestial Spirit in terms of raw power.
However Anna couldn't keep this up forever, it was now or never.
Meanwhile, Lena lured the Spike club-wielding ogre to the beachfront away from the docks where there was more sand at. Not being very intelligent, Rosso walked straight into a trap.
"I got you now! " the ogre shouted as he swings his mighty club at Lena, however, this time his club didn't even dent her sand wall.
"No, I got you! In this beachfront, I can reinforce the sand with denser sand and harden my sand. Sand Tornado." Lena chanted as she spun around the massive brute multiple times until the red ogre crashed into the ground completely incapacitated by the force of the attack.
Meanwhile, the ogre was clashing with Taurus when he hears the enchanting from Anna.
"Survey the Heavens, Open the Heavens...All the stars, far and wide...Show me thy appearance...With such Tetrabiblos...I am the ruler of the stars...Aspect becomes complete… Open thy malevolent 88 Stars of the heaven...Shine! Urano Metria" Anna chanted as he eyes glowed golden as she launched 88 magical mufti-colored spears at the Blue Ogre with them exploding on him with enough force to knock the ogre off his feet and into the ground, out cold.
Lena and Anna regrouped with me with all three of us celebrating our victory over our opponents, However, the real battle has yet to begin as Sora appeared in front of the 75 Rune Knight's arresting the 200 plus sex traffickers including soon to be ex-Commander Uniorku Zaine.
"I see, I greatly underestimated you daughter of Queen Ecaratle. To defeat a Division commander while holding back 90% of your real power, you're going to be a much more tasty meal than I thought." Sora said to me with an immense aura glowing from him, the aura was beyond anything I've ever felt….It was terrifying.
"Tasty meal?" I asked him shocked to see his teeth grow sharp.
"Perhaps I should reveal my true face to you." Sora replied as his eyes turn dark and his body drops to the floor revealing magical puppet strings on him. He was a puppet all along.
Then like magic, out of the cloak of visibility lied the very first test of my life. His deathly aura weighed down the air as I saw the appearance of a Dark Dragon. He wasn't the least be benevolent, his aura felt like a dagger to my throat, nothing but pure killing intent.
The monster was larger than an average dragon, easily on the size level of Zeusei with green, putrid colored dragon scales, he had a flat skull with an ugly flat nose and a jaw that befits his talkative nature, he had spikes going down his spine and was rock hard muscle think such a massive lumbering monster can easily hide in plain sight is maddening, it defied logic and physics.
"How the hell did a dragon hide in plain sight of everyone?" one of the soldiers asked instantly demoralized.
"He was controlling that puppet all along! Just how skilled is he?" Anna said shocked at the skill of Zirconis, her body was frozen in fear, I could tell from the sweat dripping down from her. It was understandable, this was the first time she faced a dragon since the time we were attacked as children.
"I must say, you women aren't half bad at all detecting my intentions but it seems like the game is over. I'm the Mighty Jade Dragon Zirconis, the legendary perverted Sky Dragon of vice. I must say you three make the most interesting prey I've ever eaten." Zirconis said to us with his disgusting tone.
"Great a lecherous Dragon, the last thing we need in this world." I said to him trying to overcome my lack of confidence in beating him. Every part of his body radiates power and energy from him. Granted the Dragon Protection squad was far more powerful than this low-level criminal but they never came at me with the intent to kill, I was going to fight a dragon who wants me dead.
"You're going to pay for your crimes you've evaded in the last 200 years." Anna shouted with intense anger.
"I've heard that before, but the problem is that there hasn't been a single successful attempt against me. I was able to outwit the strongest and most experience dragons in the world, what thinks you stand a chance against the likes of me when you're merely a pebble compared to your mother who never caught me?" Zirconis arrogantly laughed which was hurting our eardrums just from the soundwave of his laughter.
"You talk a lot of crap, you might be stronger than us but with my mother's blade and my friends, I doubt you can prevail against us." I replied back.
"I see, a bunch of pitiful humans thinking they have a chance against me, even with your mother's blade, you're still green and not on my level." Zirconis said to me as he creates a loud roar that shakes up the ground and creates an explosive wave which destroyed the entire shipyard blasting ships into pieces and creating a powerful gust felt across Hargeon Town.
"So much power!"Anna shouted as she's barely holding on to Lena who's barely holding on. Everyone else was blown down to the ground. I was the only one capable of withstanding the roar but I was brought to my knees from the roar.
"Now let's see you dodge this!" Zirconis mocked as he lightly stomped the ground and with that stomp alone, created a devastating shockwave which spilt Hargeon Town in half between east and west, destroying anything caught in a 100-meter area of the wave.
"No way, he destroyed a whole town with merely a tap on the ground. Do we have a chance?" Anna asked Lena.
"Such power, I wasn't expecting him to be this powerful. A mere shout destroyed city blocks and just a casual stomp destroyed half a town." I said to my friends frightened on just how strong Zirconis was.
"Man to think there are dragons stronger than this!" Anna said to me replying back to his strength.
"Don't worry, we might be able to match I'm in a direct fight but between all three of us we can win right?" Lena asked us as we stood together.
"Right, I have my mother's blade with me, between you two helping me and this blade, he's going down." I replied getting my morale back up.
"Everyone else, get out of here now, leave the fighting to us." Anna shouted talking to her Virtue Knights.
"I must admit, after that small display of my power, you're still raring to go? Such brave little humans. You're the first humans I've fought that could withstand my beautiful voice soprano You girls are quite tough to withstand that shout, perhaps toying with my food is going to be better than I thought." Zirconis said to us as he charges upwind in his mouth.
"Everyone evasive maneuvers now." I shouted horrified at the fact he's charging up a Dragon Roar so close to the city. Just one of those alone would have killed thousands of people in an instant. I was prepared to parry the attack.
However, he aimed his attack at the guys getting back up.
"NO !" Anna shouted as I rushed towards the Virtue Knights but it was too late, before I could even reach them they were blasted with a powerful dragon roar. I assumed the worst, however, nothing prepared me for what I'll see next, which is something I'll never forget.
"HOLY CRAP WE'RE NAKED!" one of the knights shouted.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR CLOTHES?" another knight shouted.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY WEAPONS AND ARMOR?"another knight shouted.
All the men fled the battle trying to hide their nudity. That was the first time I've seen a penis, hundreds of them, this was so not what I was expecting. Hundreds of well-hung men running with the nether regions in the air from the terrifying dragon.
"You gotta be kidding me?" I said to him with an unamused face while getting embarrassed at the sight of penises."We can't be hit by that attack at any cost." I told the girls.
"Seriously, what's with the perverted powers? This is beyond unholy!" Anna shouted angry that her Virtue Knights were disrobed by the evil dragon.
"Now that I got those pesky guys out , I can now snack on the women." Zirconis said to us looking at us lustfully.
"I'm starting to think we weren't ready for this at all." Lena replied now having lost her fighting spirit.
"Then allow me to show you why you're not ready for this. Dignity Destruction Ray!" Zirconis shouted as he shot a blast towards us but Lena forms a Sand Wall to protect us.
"Sand Wall+ Armor." Lena chanted as she put up her defense, however, the blast goes through it and not only disables Lena's Sand Wall but stripped her, me and Anna of all our clothing.
"NO!" I shouted as I was bare naked, the only thing I had was my blade.
"Impossible, not even my defense was enough!" Lena shouted as she covered her petite body in complete shame.
"AHHHH!"Anna shouted the loudest being completely stripped naked, she took it the hardest given her religious views.
"How cute, you think your defenses would protect you. Mind you I destroyed an entire Rune Knight Ballaation's dignity including their weapons. Simple my own self-taught magic Dignity Destruction Ray strips away everything humans value as pride. Magic, weapons, especially clothing, the more humiliated and dehumanized a human is, the stronger the effects. It even works on Dragons, hence I was able to evade capture for so many years." Zirconis explained to me his wicked powers to all of us. The power to strip dignity from people. Such a wicked magic.
However, my blade still remained intact, as demoralized and dehumanized I felt, as much as it was shameful that my body was stripped in the nude for everyone to see. As much as I struggled to cover my bare breasts, I still stood and grabbed my blade and stood defiantly whereas my comrades were trying to regain eh well to fight, to fight the indignity, the objectification, and the humiliation.
"You might've stripped my dignity but you've failed to stop me entirely, ….I might be embarrassed, humiliated even but I won't lose. I have the power to beat you with the Hoshigami No Satsuki, the blade my mother passed down so one day I can defeat the Dark Dragon Tribe and avenge my mother."I said to the brutish Dragon standing up in the face of my indignity trying to cover my breast with one hand and wield a sword with the other.
However rather than take me seriously, Zirconis ignored me and scratch his chin mocking me.
"Oh, I'm so scared of you, a mere seedling taking on a person who's lived over 100 of your lifetimes. That Hoshigami No Satsuki is no doubt a formidable blade but it's also dulled out. It's lost over millions of times its original power and wielded by an absolute novice like you, you don't come close to matching the Dark Dragon Tribe. However if I kill you and devour your body along with the bodies of the daughter of Anna Heartfilia and the last survivor of the Nirvrit Massacre, i would have enough power to be recognized as a member of the Dark Dragon Tribe and go down as the hero who killed the daughter of Queen Ecaratle, finally getting rid of the only threat to dragons once and for all. With you gone, Dragonv would fall to king Krauser and the one thing protecting humans from us would not exist, hence I can finally have my own country in which women are nothing more but cattle to me and I can devour human women while raping Dragon Women too, it would be a glorious paradise, hell maybe i can kill some dragons and become the dragon king myself." Zirconis arrogantly bragged about his delusional plans for his own world.
"You're delusional if you think you can get your way. I won't let that happen!" I replied trying to recover my dignity which was hard to do when your butt naked and everyone knows the color of your areolas and clit.
Anna, however, was taking this the worst of us all.
"No no no, this is unholy, this is wrong, this is beyond wrong. Please give me some clothes."Anna shouted completely embarrassed and covering herself sitting on the floor covering herself with her knees and arms when she's snatched instantly by the wicked dragon.
"ANNA!"Me and Lena shouted as we were shocked at the speed of Zirconis.
"HELP ME! I DON'T WANNA DIE NAKED!" Anna shouted completely breaking down in tears. Anna the brave strong-willed woman was now breaking down the hardest, I had to save her, I couldn't stand crying, however, I felt dehumanized, barely holding onto my blade
"Blondes are my favorite prey." the wicked dragon said to Anna as he sniffs her hair.
"STOP IT!" Anna shouted completely embarrassed.
"I usually devour blondies first, especially sweet churchgoing girls like this one, especially the perfectly firm ones* he lightly tapped on her boobs managing to not poke or impale them due to his ability to control his strength, not that it made it any better given he was committed virtual sexual assault.
"NO STOP THAT!" Anna shouted, it was my final straw, screw this, I don't care if I'm naked, I need to save her fast before she's killed.
"Oh lookie here, I pissed off the Queen of Dragons, come on try to save your friend by cutting me down before I eat her." Zirconis said to me mocking me with his arrogant tone.
"I HAD AS MUCH AS I CAN STAND FOR YOUR! BRAVEHEART!" I shouted as I leaped several times the height of Zirconis and hit him towards the skull hoping that I would wound him. However, the same move used to defeat the Commander only flinched him a bit. Worse my hands were bleeding from the collision. "Not a scratch, worse my hands are bleeding from impacting happened?" I asked myself.
"When battling a Dragon, the human who's weaker than the dragon tend to be hurt by the impact energy reflected back at them by our hard scales. It's only natural that a weakling like you couldn't hurt me, after all, you're barely holding the blade with your hands, such the pitiful weakness of women. I was hoping for a better fight but I guess since you care more about your dignity then your friend's life, goodbye to her." the preverted Dragon laughed as he was going to devour my best friend.
"NOOO!" Anna shouted as she's about to get eaten I was unable to move in time, I couldn't do anything, I felt like all hope was lost.
"ANNA!" Lena shouted as she was trying to use her sand but it wasn't fast enough.
"Mountain Spliter." said Commander Uniorku still standing as he manages to catch the dragon off guard and hit him with the slash wave in his mouth. Despite having his sword cut in half, he was able to do a powerful slash, injuring Zirconis's tongue and managing to cause Anna to drop only for him to catch her.
"He saved Anna!" Lena said happy that Anna was saved.
"Thank you! I said with tears coming down my eyes as I was glad Anna was saved only to realize it was the same asshole from before who then got a sinister look on his face.
"YES! I'm in heaven, perhaps you can thank me by sucking my cock, we're already naked you know."Commander Uniorku said with his piggish sexist tone.
"In your dreams asshole!" I replied back" In case you didn't notice, we kinda got a giant dragon to deal with."
"I know, hence why I hit it in the mouth, soon that jaw would be tumbling down and he would be dead but until then... Time to enjoy my harem…" before he can attempt anything, he was impaled through by Zirconis Claw which shocked the sleazebag commander of the Sex trafficking rings.
"YOU BASTARD, YOU MANAGED TO CUT MY TONGUE! YOU HURT MY TONGUE!"Zirconis shouted, he wasn't very happy having his tongue cut by a mere human.
" No way, even a direct hit outside your scales didn't do anything more than that? "The commander said frightened at the power of Zirconis. I can't blame him, this guy can destroy a mountain with a single slash and he couldn't do more than give Zirconis a small gash on the tongue, granted his power was literally halved but even so, all Zirconis got was a scratch on the tongue. At the same time, I was glad that prick was getting what was coming to him.
"You cost me a good snack there Commander Uniorku, for that you have to die." Zirconis shouted very pissed his tongue was injured.
"Bastard, you've been the one eating my cargo of women! You're going to die!"Commander Uniorku shouted as he tried his last-ditch attack but Zirconis dispelled the sword with his magic.
"Tough shit! DIE!"Zirconis shouted as he throws the dirty commander into his mouth and starts brutally chewing him apart.
"ARRRGH!" those were the last words of Commander Uniorku before dying. His death wasn't quick either. Me and Anna were able to get back up at the time it took for that asshole rapist to die. He was first repeatedly sodomized by one of the teeth wide and long enough to be a human body, he then scraped his body after that against his teeth,exploding guts and bible everywhere as the commander was still alive, he then threw him and up and own his mouth using his tongue, then amputated him and then crushed his skull, exploding brain matter everywhere, it was a gruesome, brutal gory death that he deserved, however, it was a warning of what's to come.
"BEERRGH! I hate the taste of men, so disgusting, so filthy, so hairy, they pale in comparison to the soft, chewy, juicy body of a woman." said completely not liking the taste of the man he brutally devoured alive, so much so he took a break battling us to let us regroup.
"Man talk about a close one!" Anna said still shaken by the brutal near-death experience "Talk about two close calls, we need to pull ourselves together."
"Agreed but there's nothing we can do."Lena said also starting to feel demoralized.
"Wrong we can still fight, I have the Hoshigami No Satsuki, we can still do this! Armor+Arms+ Vernier." I replied as I go to fight him with my resolve restored a bit.
I managed to connect towards Zirconis and manages to slash him getting a cut on his scales with the blade, giving him a minor slash wound on his neck in a failed attempt to decapitate him, however, I did hit him hard enough into the water but that didn't last as he gets back up flying into the air.
"Not bad, you managed to actually wound me, perhaps you wouldn't be so much of a bore against me. I'm liking you a lot Queen of Dragons." Zirconis smiled with a slasher smile as he goes to fight me.
"I won't lose to you, I'll beat you even in this state!"I shouted as I come at him with intense fury and power. If I lost now, all my friends would die, everyone would die, I can't afford to lose, I can't be afraid, I can't be embarrassed.
Being able to cut at the dragon gave me hope as me and him clashed with each massive fists the size of boulders cam barreling at blinding speed but I barely evaded them thanks to the Vernier spell. Despite the immense size of the dragon, his speed was amazing. Despite the buffoonish sleazy personality, he was very skilled as his punched were aiming towards my neck, solar plexus, chest and temple, all vital spots to do damage or kill someone.
I was only able to keep up with thanks to enchantment magic, had I not been using this in the fight at all, I would've been a goner a long time ago. I barely evaded a punch directed towards my heart by side-stepping away inches from my chest which was still enough force to knock me into a destroyed ship which further hurt due to me not having any clothing protecting my body from splinters. I shrugged off the pain and managed to get back up with some blood dripping on my as small cuts were caused by nails and splinters on my body due the force I was hit into the ship that was despite having Vernier activated, lord, knows how much worse shape I would be just from the shockwave of that punch aimed at my heart.
I barely had time to rest as Zirconis flew down like a hawk attempting to crush me with his talons however I managed to use the Hoshigami No Satsuki to hold back his left foot from crushing me. The overwhelming weight of the Dragon's talon was exerting a pressure greater than anything I felt as if Billions of tons were suddenly dropped onto my body.
"Not bad human being able to hold back my love taps." Zirconis mocked as he exerted the pressure on my body with his foot, however, I was able to muster the strength to parry his blow away from me. Had I been any weaker, had I not used the Arms Enchantment, he would have crushed me to bits.
"He's insane, how far do I have to go to match a Dragon?He's merely a Soldier Class Dragon and I could barely keep up despite training with Uncle Fred and Aunt Asuka for 4 years straight. Is the gap between humans and Dragons really this wide? The Commander I fought was just 2 ranks below a General class human mage yet he was easily killed by a low-class Dragon. Even if I reached my mother's peak, I can't win this upcoming war alone. " I said to myself thinking about just how much stronger the other dragons are and how I have a very long way to go to match them.
It was now or never, I had to win. Everyone was counting on me. I poured as much power as I can to my blade. I surrounded myself with a red aura and prepared to carry out one of my mother's signature attacks with the Hoshigami No Satsuki.
"What, no it's the Hoshigami No Satsuki's full power!" Zirconis shouted as he's overcome with fright.
"Dividing Wind!" I shouted as I poured everything I had into that attack as dash at high speed and dashed behind him, however, the slash barely cut his neck, only scoring a minor flesh wound."Impossible, poured everything I could into that attack"
"You had me worried there for a second, thank god my powers not only strip you of your dignity, you slowly lose power as well the more naked you are. Too bad, I was kinda enjoying myself. Time to end this !" Zirconis laughed mocking me.
"I won't let you! I shouted as I dashed at him but he swipes his hand creating a shockwave blowing me, Lena and Anna off our feet and into the town Lena saved us by putting sand to soften the landing, sadly this was where people saw us all naked.
"No, people can see us!"Anna shouted completely demoralized.
"No, I'm naked in front of everyone, worse, my sword is gone."I shouted as I realized that the one thing I had left was gone...Worse some of the men were gwacking at us, worse yet Zirconis flew into the town square getting most of the perverts to flee from sight.
"Now you're without clothes or your legendary sword. I must human, you would've done much better against me if it wasn't for the fact I took away your dignity. Now you've become dinner but since you're defiant, allow me to use one final spell on you Irene Dragonv before eating you, I love breaking the will of women before I devour then." Zirconis laughed.
"Like I would let you!"I shouted back as I was prepared to fight him to my last breath.
"Mind Destruction Mist!" Zirconis chant as he fired a blast at me covering me in gas...It was then I was confronted with horror.
4 years ago
"Irene... everything from this point on is up to you!...Just remember the rules my dear daughter...don't care what other people think about you, be yourself. Be fearless, be loyal. be strong...Eat your vegetables and train every day and have your cakes as desserts...Wash yourself every day and never slack on your training...Even if you have a child in peacetime...My biggest mistake was not having my guard up at all times... Also, continue to practice using Caster Magic, I was never very good at Caster Magic.." mom said to me as her vision becomes blacker and blacker and the pain in her body ceased.
"Stop this! I don't want to lose you! This has to be a nightmare or something!" I shouted as tears drip down my eyes as my heart starts to break.
"Also remember the three rules when you're an adult. Remember to always pay others for a favor they do you for you...Remember to live life to your fullest and do whatever you want as a young adult regardless of what people think...And find the right person for you to marry, one who can protect and one who can protect you" Mom said to me as she starts to be unable to feel my hug at this point and her hug was soft.
"NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" I shouted as I tried to take bandages and try to patch up mom but the blood seeps through them.
"Sorry Irene but this nightmare is reality...I wish to be with you more my dear daughter...However, my time is up! Irene, I love you, with the bottom of my heart...Unfortunately, it's time we part ways...Farewell, my daughter!" mom said to her daughter as she hugged me for the final time as blood drips all over my face as mom died standing as she hugged Irene for the last time.
"Mother...Mother! MOTHER!" I Shouted as I emitted a very loud heart-jerking cry that can be felt by the dragons coming close by.
Present Day
I was being tormented repeatedly by images of my mother dying in my arms on a repeated loop, the worst moments of my life. The torment broke me as I was now unable to fight, unable to move, I stood there blank as Zirconis grabbed me to finish me off.
"Now then, now that you're broken beyond belief, time to finish you!Join your mother in death Irene." Zirconis said to me as he was going to eat me, however, he realized he was sinking thanks to Lena using all her magic to sink him.
"Sand Pit!" Lena shouted as she used the last of her magic to sink Zirconis down into the ground with Zirconis struggling to get out caught off guard.
"Damn it!" the dragon shouted as he was trying to move out but Anna then summons Tarus to get me out of the dragon's clothes using his strength to move her out of his grip and safely onto her shoulders.
"Irene wake up! Irene! IRENE!" Anna shouted as her efforts to reach me were futile at the moment.
"She's damaged mentality, we need to get her back into fighting shape or we're done for. Get the Hoshigami No Satsuki Anna, I'll try to hold it off from here." Lena said to Anna as Anna holds onto my body.
"Gate of the Giant Crab Key Cancer." Anna summoned Cancer once again.
"What you want Anna?Why are you naked?" Cancer inquired much to Anna's frustration.
"Nevermind that, get the Hoshigami No Satsuki." Anna commanded him.
"Got it!" he replied as he dashed very fast searching for it.
Lena was in the biggest uphill battle she ever fought, she was against an opponent who can't be harmed by magic naked being stared at people with her powers diminishing the more time she spends naked and the more time she's embarrassed. She was really trying to keep Zirconis from getting out of her city-block wide quicksand pit which had him submerged up to the neck. However, she was nearly close to running out of magic.
"I can't hold him in for much longer!" Lena shouted as she was nearly at her limit.
"Annoying pest, you irritate me. Sky Dragon Roar!" Zirconis shouted as he shoots a massive Sky Dragon Roar towards Lena.
"Sand Wall+ Armor" Lena countered as she tried to stop the Dragon Roar but she barely evaded the blast as the wall was easily destroyed and the blast hit a mountain and completely destroys it with the explosion creating a large tornado dwarfing the mountain
"Stupid human, you're strongest defenses are nothing to the power of Dragons." Zirconis laughed as he shrugs off the sand without being fazed."I must admit little girl, you actually gave me a decent workout with the attempt to submerge me 200 meters deep in the ground with sand, thinking that if you deprive a Dragon of oxygen, it would be enough to kill a bad plan, too bad you're too weak to do anything to do that."
"So this is the power of dragons? How can we win against him?" Lena said to Anna as she was not only out of magic but have completely been demoralized in the fight against Zirconis.
I lied trapped in my thoughts unable to move my body when I saw what was my mother who was also naked here.
"Irene, is this how you're going to go?Go down to a dragon of such a low caliber?" my mother asked me.
"But mother, I can't fight him, not like this, not without drawing out the Hoshigami No Satsuki which I don't know how to even do that." I asked my mother losing my confidence.
"To draw out the Hoshigami No Satsuki, you must cast all doubt, you must cast all insecurity, you must cast out your modesty as well, you must concentrate all of that into power, the power to protect your friends, to protect your country, to protect the world." my mother explained to me.
"How do I do that?" I asked her.
"Remember my words from long ago?" my mother asked me as I was in my mind. "Revealing my breasts doesn't make me any less than I am now... You can only be demeaned if you let people judge your body. That revealing your body doesn't make you any less powerful as a woman and dressing the way I do is how I'm able to utilize my magic by becoming confident with myself and body You and my father dress this way because it's how we achieve our own happiness.I consider the human body to be an art, a beautiful art, hence I have no reason to hide my natural beauty that much." mom explained to within her wise words.
"I remember now, now I know how I can mother." I hugged her before leaving my mind.
Back outside my mind, things were looking dire. Tatars were struggling to fight off Zirconis but were being flicked back effortlessly while Anna and Lena were in his clutches.
"I'll save you, Anna!" Taurus shouted only to get stepped on by Zirconis.
"Annoying pesk! I must admit, you're the most fun I've had breaking you girls but it's the end. I'll start with the blonde first and then eat you two.
"Is it truly over?"Anna asked broken of the will to fight,
"Seems like it!" Lena replied as both are about to get eaten
However before Zirconis can eat Anna or Lena, I freed them both moving at high speeds and putting them both on the ground. I was wearing the old clothes I requipped back into.
"IRENE!"Anna and Lena cheerfully stated happily to see me.
"I must admit, you impress me with your will to fight however requipping clothes won't save you." Zirconis said to me staring me down but I stood defiant with bruises and wounds with my clothed body.
"Now I know what mother meant all those years ago. Revealing my breasts doesn't make me any less than I am now... You can only be demeaned if you let people judge your body. That revealing your body doesn't make you any less powerful as a woman and dressing the way I do is how I'm able to utilize my magic by becoming confident with myself and body You and my father dress this way because it's how we achieve our own happiness.I consider the human body to be an art, a beautiful art, hence I have no reason to hide my natural beauty that much." I said to Zirconis staring defiantly at him.
"I see, this is a bluff of yours, let's test how strong you actually believe that crap!" Zirconis said to me only for me to remove my dress in front of him and be in my panties and bra.
"Has she lost her mind, why would she remove her own clothing?"Anna asked.
"Beats me but look!" Lena answered as she noticed my sword was glowing.
"Now I understood what my mother said all these years... You think you can control me with fear? Men like you give men a bad name, dragons like you give Dragons a bad name. You think objectifying me would shame me? Revealing my breast doesn't make me any less than I am now.." I shouted as I ripped off my bra in front of him causing him to get shocked. " You think your perverted magic would be enough against the queen of Dragons? If bearing my breasts is needed to protect my kingdom... then I will do everything and more to do so to protect them...You cling to the puritanical views of the masses, proving just how inferior you are! But I won't be ashamed, if it means I can fulfill my ambitions, I will bare my breasts for all to see! I will do whatever it takes! For I know that my actions are utterly pure!" I shouted with the greatest intensity as my sword glowed and it went from a Wakizashi to a full-sized Katana wearing only my panties.
"What is she? She's fighting him naked...Now her resolve, she's countering his power." Anna explained to Lena.
"Ah, so what, you just realized yourself to get eaten dumb bitch!" Zirconis shouted as he goes to slash at me but I slashed his arm, splitting it vertically, almost splits his left arm in half."ARRGH!"
"I'm not the same weak little girl you were fighting earlier Zirconis, I'm a woman now. I'm no longer the scared child who runs to mommy, I'm taking Mommy's place" I said to the dragon as I've turned the tables on him now.
We dashed against each other in the second bount, this time things were playing in my favor. Zirconis was caught off guard with the first strike and was struggling to keep up with my attacks. I was able to block his blows much more easily as each punch was parried with my blade which was cutting into his scales everything his blow was blocked by me.
"Insolent brat! DIE! Iron Dragon's Fist!" he shouted as he came at me with a powerful punch of wind however I was five steps ahead.
"Braveheart" I countered as I evaded the punch feet close to me and slashed off his Left hand, causing the blade to cleanly cleave his right hand off, separating the flesh, scale, muscle tendons and bones from each other.
"ARRGGH!" Zirconis yelled in a massive roar of pain as blood shot out of his hand like a geyser, drenching the streets in blood as his massive hand comes tumbling to the ground, the cut so brutal that the bone of his arm was sticking out the sliced hand.
"Holy crap, she severed his hand with a single attack!"Anna said shocked at what she saw.
"Is that the power of the Hoshigami No Satsuki ?" Lena asked as Zirconis struggled to contain the bleeding from his arm.
"WHY YOU DIRTY LITTLE BITCH!"Zirconis shouted as he charges up a Dragon Roar in his mouth flying towards Irene.
"Irene watch out!" Anna shouted!
"TOO LATE! SKY DRAGON ROAR!" Zirconis shouted as he shoots a powerful towards Irene.
"Ceserent Wave!"Irene countered managing to cut the blast in half at point-blank range canceling out the attacks.
"No impossible, no human should've had the reflexes to have blocked that attack at point-blank range." Zirconis said to himself before he felt something hit him in the stomach, which was the hilt of my blade.
"Arms+Armor+Vernier." I said to him as I smashed him into the ground with an enhanced hilt strike knocking him so hard he couldn't fly up because of the air pressure of the blow.
"NO, IMPOSSIBLE SHE DEFEATED ME WITH A SINGLE BLOW TO THE STOMACH, I CAN'T FLY!" Zirconis shouted as he hits the ground like a stone hitting the water. He was nearly defeated in that blow.
"Looks like I win!" I said to the dragon as he struggles to get up.
"NO, I WIN!" He shouted as he was coming towards Lena and Anna with his unsevered left hand."Once I eat them and absorbed the magical power, I would beat you and take your vast magical power!" Zirconis shouted as he was going to eat them but I grabbed his tail.
"Over my dead body!"I replied back as I swung him around by the tail taking advantage of the power boost I got to swing him around. It took everything I got just to move him away and swing him and then tossed him in the air and cause him to fall on his neck with enough force that he was virtually paralyzed. I was able to point at the dragon's neck
"No this isn't happening. I lose to a woman much less a girl? This was supposed to be an easy fight...It makes no sense. I had her, she as nothing but then she cut my hand off and broke my back...The Great Zirconis, who evaded even the greatest queen of dragons ever...Loses to her shitty little daughter of the Dragon Queen.." Zirconis whined as he was in great pain.
"What's wrong pervert? Not used to fighting a woman? Is that why you prey on younger women and little girls like myself? Probably why you'd never tried to take out my mother, you knew that she would've wasted you easily. That's why you ran like the coward you are for 200 years, looking for easy female prey because you couldn't handle facing or being ruled by a real woman. You truly are unworthy of licking my feet lower class Dragon. Just remember this, women are strong you Misogynistic Pervert." I said to the dragon ranting against him.
"Way to go Irene!" Anna said to me.
"Amazing, you bet him, not to bring him back.." Lena said but before she can finish, Zincorisis gets back up enraged from the humiliating beatdown he just received."Unforgivable, I won't be made a fool by you humans. You think a mere human could rule the Dragon Race. Don't be foolish, humans exist to be food to Dragons and women exist to be breeding livestock and tools for our penises. I always hated the humans and hated the Dragons for siding with humans, which is why I eat them, because they're weak. Once I kill you, i'll take the throne of King and as decree of king, all women would exist to be fucked and eaten." Zirconis ranted getting angrier and more pathetic as he did.
"You can't even beat a rookie like me and you're supposed to rule the Dragon King? Now that's a joke. You're nothing more but a disgraced low-level grunt who was kicked out of Skyland because you were attempting to rape a little Dragon Girl. All I see here is a low-class C class Dragon with delusions of grandeur. You won't even make it past the front gate let alone to the throne room. I'll admit I might not be as powerful as my mother, however that can change. One day, I will become as powerful as my mother, if not even stronger and mighter and I will maintain peace with humans and Dragons." I said to the dragon mocking his delusions of grandeur.
"Not if I destroy you first."Zirconis shouted as he flies into the air and gathers all the wind within the citywide radius to charge up his Dragon Roar. "You have me here princess Irene, I might be a lowly Soldier Class Dragon but as part of the Sky Dragon Race, my potential to grow stronger is unlimited. Also if I kill you and eat your corpse, my power would grow even stronger" Zirconis shouted as he was doing a last-ditch move to finish the fight and win.
"Cure!" Zirconis shouted as he struggles but he uses to regenerate his entire hand however worn out heavily.
"He regenerated his entire hand!" I said completely shocked.
"You surprised?I was formerly a Soldier within the Sky Dragon Air Calvary division after all." Zirconis anwsered.
"That technique is only exclusive to Elite Sky Dragons." I asked him completely amazed and horrified he can regenerate.
"You forget, I'm over 1,000 years ago. I might not be the strongest Sky Dragon but I'm one of the most experienced Dragons to exist." Zirconis replied worn out regenerating his arm.
"Even then you shouldn't be able to heal your own injuries, no Sky Dragon can do that!" I said to him wondering how he healed his body.
"After learning the Regeneration abilities of magical leeches, I could combine it with Sky Dragon Cure to heal my body. It's my unique power I learned myself. It took me over 400 years to master it but it was how I survived attempts on my life and countless battles against even stronger dragons. I played possum sometimes only to survive. It's the combination of genius and cunning that allowed me to survive this long. Now allow me to show you why you're nothing to a Dragon." Zirconis explained to me as he took a large breath and sucked up all the air around him.
"No way, is he going to attempt destroying everything?" Anna asked shocked about this.
"We gotta do something!" Lena shouted.
"I'm almost out of magic, however, I have to stop this. I must put everything I got in this final attack." I said to myself as I charged up my magical power and readied to leap into the air.
Zirconis moved into a wide stance, spreading his arms wide and causing a fast wind barrier to form around him with the clouds forming around him. The clouds suck into the dragon as the force of the energy charging up is enough to create a massive gust that is sucking everything up from Crocus to Mongolia. If I didn't stop Zirconis, he would destroy not only Hageron but 1/3th of Fiore in a single attack.
"This attack, everything is getting sucked in." Anna shouted as she struggles to resist the winds as she was being pulled from the ground.
"It's now or Never! I need to do this !" I said to myself as I leaped into the air.
"Good luck evading this one! Shattering Light: Sky Drill!" Zirconis shouted as he shot the blast within everything he got shooting an intense blast of wind towards me.
"Armor+Arms+Vernier+Crescent Wave." I countered as we clashed attacks in the air with me pushing back against this attack. The collision of attacks last for 1 minute but I was able to push through with her Katana slashing through the wind blast completely dispelling it as my body resonates with red energy,
"Impossible, no human could do that... You lucked out but try surviving another one." Zirconis shouted as he attempted a quick dragon roar, however, I threw my panties at his face shocking the dragon as he got a full view of my vagina present and my fully naked body.
"Enjoy the full view of my naked sexy body...For it would be very last thing you ever see." I said to him as all he did was stare at my panties and my naked body as I grew my blade to be long enough to cleaning cut through his neck."Demon Sword Scarlet Fang" I chanted as the long blade goes straight through one side of the neck and comes out at the other.
"I can see the full view of her body... So stunning ...so sexy, she really has blossomed into a woman... I know I'm dying... but this was so worth death...I have no regerts." Zirconis said as his final words as his head slowly slide off his severed neck and in seconds he's fully decapitated.
His body crashed down into the ground like a ton of bricks with everything around the city block was drenched in blood including me as I was falling down to the ground but Shakka saved me mid fall before I fell and died with him lowering me to the ground.
"You saved me!"I said to Shakka as he flew me down.
"You saved the entire country, thank god for putting an end to that bastards reign of terror." Shakka replied. It just dawned on me what I just did, I took a life for the first time.
I walked towards Zirconis and looked at his lifeless corpse, and my gut instinct was to throw up instantly at the horror of seeing a decapitated dragon. Zirconis might've been the lowest of the low but it still pains me to see creatures I grew up with, creatures that were like humans, who raised me, decapitated and cut down. I was horrified at the blood I spewed.
"Damn it, I took a life! I was forced to take a life. Even as someone as vile as that, I was to take another life...I'm the queen, I have to maintain face... Must maintain face..." I said to myself trying to maintain composure as I was with sex traffickers who were demoralized that they were defeated. " Anyone of you who thinks that anarchy can run free and think I'm going to be a pushover because I'm young...Just let this serve as a warning to all those who commit the worst atrocities in my kingdom and against anyone who's allies with my kingdom like Fiore."
One Week Later
I checked out of the hospital recovering from my injuries over in Mongolia Hospital. All 200 Sex traffickers were imprisoned in the largest sex slavery bust in Fiore History, all the girls enslaved were freed by me, Lena and Anna and the 200-year-old fugitive and defector of the Dragonv Army Zirconis was killed by my hand and my hand alone.
Commander Uniorku's corpse was reverted within excrement found near the site of Zirconis corpse, they buried the evil commander with Zirconis corpse within the Grave of Infamy which is below Dos Flaum. The death of Sora Ackerman was disclosed to Bosco and Bosco and Fiore improved relations after learning the truth that Zirconis had an insane plan to take over and become king of Ishgal.
Lena, Anna and Sabe await for me to come out of the hospital and greet me recovering from the near death battle I had against the dragon.
"Are you feeling okay Irene?"Anna asked me.
"Physically yes but this was the first time was forced to take a life." I answered.
"That dragon was the lowest of the low, don't feel too bad, you saved many people last week." Lena stated trying to assure me.
"Doesn't change the fact it's barely a victory. Granted I'm not sad about Zirconis death, fuck him, he deserved what he had coming, it's the fact I couldn't defeat a dragon without killing him that's the problem. I feel unfit to rule at my current situation I need to become much stronger than I am now to be a true queen of dragons, to live up to the laws of the Magna Carta and to defeat the Dark Dragon Tribe." I explained to the girls explaining the situation.
"We're aware of how much you need to grow Irene, however, that's why you also have friends like us."Victor said to me as he appeared with my cousin Sabre.
"You are to thank for saving countless lives, had Zincrois succeeded with his plans, lord knows what would've happened with is in debt to you Queen of dragons." queen Sabre said to me and me and Lena see Belserion appear.
"Ready to return home my queen?" he asked.
"Anytime, once i get home, i'm going to double down on the training to become even stronger than before."I replied as me and Lena climb on top of the dragon grandpa and fly of on him.
"You did a good thing out there Irene, not only did you save millions of lives, you also stopped a brutal rapist who almost raped one of our own and shut down an entire sex trafficking ring."Grandpa Belserion said to me proudly that I was able to save Fiore from destruction, especially from Zirconis attack that would've wiped out Southern Fiore in one shot
"One of your own?" I asked Grandpa Belserion.
"200 years ago back when Grandeeney was still a child, I saved her from Zirconis attempting to rape Grandeeney.." Grandpa Belserion answered explaining Zirconis failed rape attempt
"He tried to rape Grandeeney?" I asked him shocked to learn the truth.
"I stopped him and arrested him, however, we didn't count on him to break out of prison. To think he evaded us for so long, then again was around since the founding of Dragonv and while not a very strong Dragon, he was a cunning one who survived many battles with the Dark Dragon Tribe, all the more shocking he defected and joined the criminal underworld. He won't be raping anyone any more thanks to you."Grandpa Belserion stated reviled that Zirconis was no longer around to terrorize innocent people.
"Still, I was hoping he would face justice for his crimes in jail, oh well I just have to move on and get stronger so I can avoid killing unless I need too so I can become the true Queen of Dragons like mother.
I was more motivated than ever to become the true Queen of Dragons, the failure to capture Zincrois alive brought fought my motivate to make since I succeeded in bringing future criminals like him alive to serve justice. I would maintain the legacy passed down by my ancestors.
My power at this state paled in comparison to even Anna's mother much less Victor Heartfilia. I remember when I first met Anna, we were saved by our parents from the Dragon who attempted to eat us.
5 years ago
We then were surrounded by 20 C Class Dragons who all look the same as the Dark Dragon we escaped from.
"No this can't be happening." Erenjack shouted as look around them to see hungry Dragons.
"No this is it !" Anna shouted as she broke down into tears.
"How did so many Dragons appear here?" I asked wondering how so many dragons got past security.
The Dragons come towards us but Kajeel appears and smashes one's head off with a sledgehammer spilling gallons of blood everywhere. He then smashes two more coming towards me and Erenejack with his sledgehammer.
"You brats are in serious trouble for playing outside of curfew," Kajeel said to us as 5 Dragons appear to attack us but Jade appears with her keys in her hand.
"Gate of the Bear Cub Key+Gate of the Swan Key." Jade chanted as she summoned the spirits Polaris and Denbe to take out 5 Dragons on their own with Denbe shooting a massive Lightning bolt through 2 of the Dragons with the blast piercing straight through the Dragon Scales with the blast passing from one Dragon through their heart with another Dragon behind also hit by the Lightning bolt splattering blood everywhere.
3 more Dragons go to attack Jade but Polaris appeared and using its Mighty Bear strength manages to battle it with the Dragons and manages to use its full power to smash through the Dragon Scales and used its Paws to decapitate the Dragons leaving Jade notably exhausted.
8 of the C Class Dragons charge up there Dragon Roars and fire them at a weakened Jade but then a loud horn is played with Victor having summoned the Legendary Angel Raguel. The blowing of its horns completely stopped the Dragon Roars creating a loud sonic force field around himself and his wife and also paralyzed the Dragons long enough for him to cast one of his strongest Holy Spells.
"Uno Materia" Victor chanted as he blasted hundreds of holes through 8 Dragons killing them instantly and lands on the ground without the slightest bit of exhaustion. Being the Pope of Zentopia, he had the mastery of Angel Magic to the point he can use 10 coin summonings with little strain to his body and due to his pure and holy heart, doesn't suffer from drawbacks inexperienced Angel Magic users or wicked users of Angel Magic process.
"I thought you couldn't kill Dragons with Magic."Erenjack asked shocked to see humans able to kill Dragons.
"For the most part it's true but it's it's weak dragons against very strong humans," Kajeel replied as father appeared and rip off his shirt.
"Enchantment Arms+Armor+Vernier" my dad chanted as he uses his enchantments to make himself so strong that he easily evades tail whips and Dragon slashes. My dad does 1,000 punches on the Dragon moving too fast for my young eyes to even comprehend as it just looks like my father's arms turned into a tornado before he lands the final blow punches the Dragons head off. He then sees one shooting a Dragon Roar towards me.
"OH NO!" I shouted as I struggle to move out of the way from the attack but too slow to evade the beam.
"Oh no, you don't! Three Layered Magic Circle: Mirror Water" Dad shouted as he did a series of superfast hand signs and summons Three Magical circles and reflects the blast back the Dragon blasting its head off with its own Dragon Roar. Another Dragon then attempted to attack him but he grabs it by its jaws and rips the Dragon in half with his raw strength.
"Whoa awesome, our parents are so strong."Erenjack said to us as he saw one Dragon comes towards Mom but my mother stops the dragon with her finger and slashes the Dragon in half with little visible effort.
"How foolish! A mere C rank Dragon against the Queen of Dragons, pitiful." My mother said dismissively to the now dead Dragon as she realizes all of them were clones of the original dragon that attacked their daughter has flown away.
Present Day
That day contrasted with the near death battle I had against. Each of our parents were able to kill C Class Dragons individually with great ease, abelt each were the strongest humans up against the weakest level of dragons however as I learned today even a C rank Dragon was a threat yet Victor Heartfilia killed one with ease, it's only natural given Victor was the strongest human alive at the time however he knew his own limitations, had he fought a B Class Dragon, it would at best end in a stalemate in spite of Victor's legendary power and any Dragon A ranked or higher would be virtually impossible for even the strongest of humans to beat aside from my now deceased father.
I had to become stronger, I had no choice. I was the only one who can wield the great Holy Dragon Slaying Sword Hoshigami No Satsuki, the thing that can truly slay any Dragon regardless of their power. Prior to the age of the Dragon Slayer, only a handful of humans could even battle on par with Dragons or even slay then and these humans had to be either from nobility or the most well-trained humans ever up against the lowest classes of dragons or fought mid-level dragons and merely got lucky or in the case of Lena's father, sacrificed themselves to destroy the Dragon from within.
This was all the more reason I had to train harder however I wasn't the only one motivated by the recent events as seen with Anna going on her own adventure.
1 week later
I got a letter from a carrier pigeon from Anna Heartfilia which read like this.
"Dear Irene
After the events of Zirconis, I wanted to find my own path to becoming stronger to prepare for the Dragon King Festival that would occur in the Year X397. I realize as powerful as you might become, you're merely one person and one person can't do it alone. I will search the whole world for the other Zodiac Golden Keys and will find the legendary One Magic. With the One Magic, we can wish to give people as much power as possible to defeat the upcoming Dragon threat so you don't have to do it all alone.
It may sound like a very long shot but it's better to try than sit around and do nothing, even if i fail to find all 12 golden keys, even if I fail to find the One Magic, the worldwide trek would give me the knowledge, experience training, and skill so I could be of good use to you when the war. Father is very powerful but by the time the war is expected to come, he would be 51 years old, at the point his great power would start to decline greatly hence I must become stronger myself so I can take up his mantle.
We will meet again soon, I don't know when soon would be but very soon, I need to discover myself and my potential but if you're reading this Irene, never give up, keep fighting, we need you, especially me.
You're best friend
Anna Heartfilia"
Anna and myself weren't aware at that point but our actions have already set a course into history. By slaying Zincoris, this was the beginning of the journey for the both of us, wheels of fate were being set into motion as we spoke. After all, it would Anna's failed search for the One Magic that would put into motion the age of the Dragon Slayer on my part and both Victor Heartfilia and Anna Heartfilia play a huge influence into things to come as we chart a course to the new era.
(A/N: Boy that was an action-packed chapter wasn't it? Yep, we're officially retconning and rewriting history within this chapter. Originally Zincoris was one of the dragons killed in the Dragon Festival by Acnologia but that would a waste of a good way to ease Irene into fighting dragons, Zirconis is easily the weakest canon Dragon going by showings and the guy comes off more of a petty sexist perverted creep than a serious threat, well for dragon standards anyways, besides already stated that it's not going to be the same old retelling of Fairy Tail once we finally reach the canon arcs.
Without giving too much away the Dragon Festival Arc of the X791 Era is going to play out completely differently from canon. The 7 dragons that attack would be all low-class C rank dragons with the exception of Atlas Flame and Motherglare and there are going to be completely different fights, backstories, and other things. It would also be a good way to measure just how strong the FT cast at the point of the Grand Magic Games are compared to Irene and her tiro.
And yes Irene at age 15 with barely any experience fighting a dragon for the first time is roughly as powerful as Erza in the Grand Magic Games, only below her in power when Erza is in Clear Heart Clothing, Fairy Armor or Namgakai Armor(The awakening of her Hoshigami No Satsuki easily makes her stronger) Anna Heartfilia is roughly as powerful as Lucy in the Grand Magic games tablet more skilled in hand to hand and other magic but inferior to Lucy in terms multiple summoning compared to the Grand Magic Games and Lena powerwise is easily on par with Grand Magic Games Wendy.
The reason these girls have such a massive power leap is simple.
1)Even the lowest class DragonsErza Grand Magic Games as established by the fact not even Dragon Slayers could kill their dragons in canon, considering that the majority of major battles in this fanfiction on Irene's perspective are battles against Dragons, that's why they're already on part with post skip characters because making her as strong as PTS Natsu to battle Dragons not even Post Magic Games Natsu could beat makes zero sense.
2)Irene has superior overall physical training given she spent 4 years within Zenith training under harsh conditions, Anna has a actual father figure who's not an asshole train her to be a great fighter(Something Lucy lacked from the start) and Lena is the princess of a warrior tribe trained by her mother(Spoiler Wendy's parents are long dead).
3)More motivation to train repeatedly. For Fairy Tail, training is merely an afterthought, especially in canon and live within a modern society where survival is not a huge priority whereas Irene and her crew live in a Middle Age society in which if there wasn't impending Dragon Wars, there are regional, National and tribal wars they need to say prepared for.
And yes Commander Uniorku is an Expy of that fucktard Kuroinu from the infamously bad hentai Kuroinu Kedakaki Seijo wa Hakudaku ni Somaru, which to say the least fits with the whole Sex trafficking ring being used as food source idea. After that brutal death, he suffered was a take that to anyone who thought 4 episodes of women being gang-raped and made sex slave serfs was a good idea. Also, Uniorku is Kuroinu spelled backward but putting the k before the U.
Power levels of the chapter.
Zincorsis:14,498 MPF
Commander Uniorku:10,833 MPF
Celesteio and Rosso: 7,500 MPF each
Irene(Age15) 10,833 MPF base, 12,666 MPF base full power, 15,000 MPF with the fully awakened Hoshigami No Satsuki
Anna Heartfilia(Age 15) 50 MPF unarmed, 5,250 MPF using cancer, 7,500 MPF using Tatarus or Caelum Sword Form , 7,666 MPF using Aquarius,9,999 MPF using Uno Materia or Caelum Canon form
Lena Marvell(Age15)6,666 MPF base, 8,332 MPF full power base, 10, 833 MPF using Enchantments
Queen Ecaratle( Rusty) 37,502 MPF base, 48,000 MPF using Sword Body Magic, 53,333 MPF full power without Hoshigami No Satsuki, 81,666 MPF using Hoshigami No Satsuki
Charles Kinghtwalker: 38,533 MPF base, 72,000 MPF full power
Victor Heartfilia: 37,332 MPF base, 48,000 MPF full power base, 63,333 MPF using his strongest Holy Magic
Kajeel: 30,666 MPF
Jade Lenoa: 27,500 MPF using Denbe, 34,000 MPF Polaris
Romeus Dragon Clones: 12,666 MPF-14,332 MPF, Magic resistance up to 18,000-24,000 MPF
And for those wondering why the power gaps seem minor, let me break it down going by calculations I've made.
Much like Dragon Ball Z, the minor difference in numbers hides a greater power gap amongst characters however unlike DBZ I would explain the actual is only Applicable to MPF levels about 1,000.
1,000-5,000 MPF: 10 Times power increase every 1,666 MPF
5,000-10,000 MPF:10 Times power increase every 1,666 MPF
10,000-15,000 MPF:10 times power increase every 1,666 MFF
15,000 MPF-20,000 MPF:10 times power increase every 1,666 MPF
20,000 MPF-40,000 MPF:10 times power increase every 6,666 MPF
40,000-80,000 MPF:10 times power increase every 13,333 MPF
Hence you saw for example when Irene fought at full power, she was able to one shot once she fought seriously however despite being armed with a Dragon Slaying Sword Hoshigami No Satsuki (The only one within this series) couldn't scratch until she unleashed its full power.
Keep note that power wise Zirconis is only slightly stronger than the Clones of Romeus which were each killed by Jade Leona, Victor Heartfilia, Kajeel and Irene's Parents as noted from the flashback so Irene has a very long to go before she can match the power of her mother.
Also, hope you like the medieval versions of the Celestial Spirits. Yeah except the Celestial Spirits you know and love to have a completely different look and some having different personalities from their canon counterparts. After all, it would make zero sense for Caelum to look like he leaped out of an Sc-Fi movie hence I made Caelum a floating wooden ball that turns into a Middle Age Cannonball and I gave Cancer a completely different, more badass medieval surgeon look as well.
As for Anna Heartfilia, she will return and with more spirits than ever before. I have a special chapter saved for her adventures into the world searching for the One Magic. With that being said, onto the next chapter. Don't forgive to Review, Fave and Subscribe.)
