The World Of Demons And Gods

This dude's strength is terrifying that made others mistakes him a peerless expert! She couldn't even deny the fact that she couldn't do anything much from him on their base level yet even using her trump card, this dude even has a better trump card against her!

She felt a little humiliated but didn't dare to think about it much since she's a little cool about it, but still. She was really annoyed, she can't even help herself to scratch her hair.

What she didn't know that, Cyrus had practically used everything that he can use against this crazy lady. Every time he's making a powerful strike, his dantian is shaking and not only that, his eyes were burning hot and throbbing in pain due to his sword art absolute focus skill.

Even if he has the energy to spare to fight her, he couldn't even see her attacking and he wouldn't risk his life to fight without suppressing much of his strength over this trivial matter just because of some mistake or misunderstanding.

Seeing the lady floated up in the air, he summoned ten balls of flames that circulate around his back. The lady slowly approached him with a cold gaze on her face. As the approaching figure slowly closing, Cyrus raised his hand ready to release the fireballs towards her.

"Stop!"

Before he could lunch it, her voice rang out.

Cyrus quickly put his hands down but didn't dare to cancel the fireball behind his back. He looked at the approaching figure and couldn't help to thought to himself, 'Finally, this lady should have understood her own mistakes.'

The lady clads in lightning and Cyrus clad in blazing scarlet and gold flames stood facing each other and finally had the time to observe each other close.

For a girl, her height is actually pretty tall. She's tall as him, 5'11 and her face up close was suffocating due to her godlike beauty, added by her glowing figure due to her lightning mode made Cyrus heartbeat quite fast. But her attitude turns him down because she's too tomboyish.

And for a boy, looking at his golden eyes and suave look and sharp eyes with perfect nose and lips. Even for her, who have seen countless handsome princes and young masters on some parts of the continent, Cyrus was exceptionally made her daze for a while and this was the first time that had happened towards a guy and what made her bother the most is that his eyes were attractive which made her fl.u.s.tered a bit but didn't dare to reveal on the outside and only tried to look on the centre of his forehead between his eyebrows.

Hesitating for a bit, her lips quivered before sighing then looked at Cyrus once again with an annoyed look, "You are really tough opponent, it reminds me of someone I wanted to punch on the face really bad."

"…"

"How should I believe you?" She spoke looking at him seriously and hinting the topic she was talking about. Getting that hint, Cyrus immediately replied, "I'm not really one of them, I just got here but since things are already getting out of hand by the time I arrive here, I just stayed away from you and them. Though I want to help but I can sense that you're not easy to deal with and can handle it pretty much, so I just watched behind." Cyrus explained with a bit of compliment for her, but nevertheless he looked into her beautiful eyes trying to make her believe.

His gaze made her heart uncomfortable before looking away at the side, "Geez," she scratched her head, "Okay, I'll believe you."

Hearing that, Cyrus beamed with a smile and quickly turned his elemental mode returning back to his original appearance, he sighed, "I'm glad to hear that! Man, you're really good at fighting too!" Due to her tomboyish attitude, he didn't hold back to pat her shoulders hard as he laughed. Though she's still on her elemental form, there's no killing intent on it.

The lady clad in lightning sighed, removing his hands from her shoulder. And soon her elemental form started to vanish into thin air returning back to her original appearance. She quickly clenched her fist and gathering a bit amount of anima on her fist, she smashed her fist on Cyrus' stomach.

"Ugh!"

Cyrus held his stomach wanting to puke so badly but held it and looked at the lady on his front with a confused look on his face. This girl is a lioness ah!

"That's for burning my hands and stomach and for touching me. You shouldn't carelessly touch a young mistress of a clan." She snorted.

Hearing this, Cyrus was fl.u.s.tered and couldn't help to get shy as he scratched his cheek with his index finger. That's right, she's still a girl and a young mistress of a clan too. He quickly tried to summon a healing potion he bought on the town but when he was about to give it to her, he noticed that her burn marks disappeared returning to its milky and smooth skin. Which stunned him.

Seeing his dumb face, she laughed, "Hahaha, though your flames indeed hurt, but it wasn't that lethal to me. It was just so-so." She snickered and held her chin up blazing with pride.

"Uh," Cyrus really didn't care and didn't find it offensive, he put his potion away before looking at the lady on his front with a strange gaze. 'This lady sure has a lot of secrets.'

Almost as if hearing his deep thought, Lily spoke, [This lady probably has some powerful and unique bloodline… Look at her hair, it's glowing a bit.] Lily pointed.

Cyrus quickly noticed that this lady on his front is indeed has a dim glowing hair. Just thinking of her during the night, she'd probably looked like a goddess with her hair glowing like that… and a bit freaky.

"Hmm, I haven't met someone strong amongst my peers, though I have seen a monster talent back then she was even more frightening and not my peer at all!" The lady muttered not caring to be heard by Cyrus, who is standing just in front of her.

"Anyways, I'm Krystal Éclair, the former first young mistress of Éclair clan, though I don't practically need that title anymore since I don't have the right, everybody still acknowledges me as their first young mistress of my clan." She introduced herself with a smile and reached her hand trying to have a handshake with Cyrus.

Giving a warm smile, Cyrus reached her hand and shook it as he introduced himself at her, "I'm Cyrus Baumgartner, just someone from Annesley kingdom."

Though what he said was true, Krystal was full of doubt by his introduction. 'What a liar, just someone from Annesley kingdom? With that kind of strength paring the young mistress of the Éclair clan, the number one clan on the continent. Who are you joking!

Seeing her displeased look on her face, Cyrus could only laugh awkwardly. He really doesn't want to tell her that his parents are the Divine slaughters of the continent since their reputation is quite bad on this continent. Heck, he'd probably killed on the spot because Éclair clan have a strong sense of justice.

Krystal wasn't dumb enough to provoke the guy and pry over his personal identity if he doesn't want to talk about it, then don't! Sheesh, she really didn't care about it anyway. Since she's aware that there are tigers and dragons hiding from the public on this world.

Still, a bit displeased on his introduction, Krystal asked, "You're from Annesley kingdom? What are you doing here?"

Although Annesley kingdom and Alexandria kingdom are neighbouring countries, him being here near the centre of the country is still have a great distance between from here to the kingdom of Annesley.

"Oh, about that. I'm enrolling in the academy!" Cyrus beamed.

Krystal hearing this smiled brightly too. "Wow! A companion! Feels like going to the academy wasn't boring at all!" She crossed her arms as she laughed.

Cyrus was startled too when he heard her, 'she's also an enrollee? If she's joining the academy, then there's a probably a high chance that there are many students with monstrous strength there like her!' He couldn't help to get excited deep inside. Who wouldn't want a lone tiger going to a tiger's den?

"Hey, why don't you join along with me to go there?" Krystal asked with a smile as she proposed. Having a companion with her own peer and Cyrus seems to be a nice guy so she wouldn't let go of the chance of having a friend like him.

Cyrus had already thought of proposing her to join with him to go to the academy with her, but he wouldn't think that she would propose it first which surprised him a bit. Since both of them had the same thought, he agreed to it quickly as he nods with a soft smile.

Seeing him agree, Krystal cherry red lips curved into a beautiful smile that shook Cyrus' heart.

[Cyrus, your heart, it's floating.] Lily amused voiced echoed on his head which made him fl.u.s.tered.

'Her beauty is indeed scary.'

Krystal walked away saying that she will prepare her stuff and thus Cyrus went towards his horse who got frightened almost to death due to the explosive fight earlier, it was even hiding beneath the slope of the road with its head tuck on the ground. Seeing his horse being like this, he felt sorry for the horse and scrubs its fur while saying, 'it's okay.' Multiple times.

The area had turned into a mess, the road was destroyed with deep holes, thick cracks, and big craters. Away from the roads, huge craters and burnt grasses filled the area, if someone had seen this scenery, they couldn't imagine what kind of strength of those people who fought in this area.

Ten minutes later, the two meet up once again. Cyrus on his horse slowly went towards Krystal . Standing beside the road she looked at Cyrus on his horse, his appearance made her in a daze.

"What are you staring at?" Cyrus laughed.

"N-nothing… Let's go." She turned around and started to walk.

The two of them moved far away from their battlefield earlier and noticing their slow pace, Cyrus spoke, "Why don't you hop in? I'd be faster this way; Hopkins is pretty strong to carry both of us." He suggested. He named this horse Hopkins because this horse won't get calm down at all without calling him.

Krystal shook her head and rejected his offer, "No, thank you." She looked to the ground with her hand on her chin thinking for a bit. Their travel time is indeed slow, if they kept with this pace, they would arrive in the enrollment area with an empty field and have been left by people.

"Why don't you try riding on your sword?" Cyrus suggested. This suggestion was actually already on his mind before, because back from his past life, he had read books about cultivators riding on their sword to travel around. But he hadn't seen anything like this on this world which disappointed him.

He tried it once on Lynae, but Lynae doesn't have the ability to float around but can be summoned back only. Both he and Lynae tried their best but it didn't work at the end, which destroyed his fantasy and sulks a bit.

Hearing his suggestion, Krystal's eyes shone brilliantly. What a great idea!

"Hey, that's actually pretty good! I have never thought of that!" Krystal beamed as she gave a thumbs up on Cyrus.

She quickly summoned a one meter long and six-inch-wide sword and stepped on it. With her precise control of her Anima, she floated from the ground and starting to move slowly. Soon enough, she's already flying around the air which made Cyrus sulk on his horse with great envy on his face.

I want to do that too!

A peal of beautiful and feminine laughter rang out on the field, her laughter can make one's heart soft and fell in love deeply to it. But not for Cyrus, he's suffering from his depression.
