Eldritch Creature's Guide

"It appears that the duel has been concluded."

Stated Lanlaris Daragan, nonchalantly, as he partially expected such an outcome, while Cardinal Karliana Kircheisen looked surprised and delighted at the same time because the Holy Son of the Hall of Kadath was someone with tremendous potential to become a powerful individual.

The only person with a sour mood, or rather, relatively sour mood, was Yvraine because she was hoping g that Samiel would kill Estrid during the fight, especially when she saw him using the Void Magic Spells and other more dangerous methods.

In the end, even this result was good.

After Estrid essentially admitted her defeat, Samiel came to her and started dispersing his curses and using the Void Magic to heal the wounds from the Void Magic. This was something he learned a rather hard way when he was severely injured by the Void Magic Spell, which he cast in the wrong way, and it backfired.

The best method to heal the injuries cast by the Void is to use the Void itself. Though this method was peculiar, only a few who had an unnatural affinity to the Void could use it. Such as someone who was a partially Eldritch Creature.

For Samiel, it wasn't a very hard thing to do, as he soon figured out the method of healing the injuries left by the Void with the Void itself. After he dispersed all the Curses, he cast on Estrid, and he healed the wounds left by the Void Magic.

Usually, the Curse users were also the best Cruse Breakers because they knew better curses than those who were suing them on a daily basis.

Estrid was still bleeding all over her body because the wounds were still there; what Samiel did, was just the removal of the residual Void Energy that latched to her during their fights. Technically speaking, he wasn't healing her but rather removing the obstacle, which was obstructing her natural healing factor or any healing magic or another method, in healing the injuries she suffered under the effects of the Void Magic.

Void Energy was fundamentally corrosive and dangerous as hell, to such an extent, it was usually avoided at all costs, and rarely, even the bravest and smartest Magic Users would dare to manipulate the Void in its most primal form, aside from a chosen few.

The most troublesome thing about using Void Attributed attacks, be it in the form of spells or incorporating it any other way, was its ability to leaven almost unhealable injuries that would only spread over and over.

Estrid was in luck because, thanks to her strong bloodline, she managed to resist the corrosive power of the Void, long enough for Samiel to remove it and not leave any side effects. And this was just the lower and most inferior Void Energy he was using.

Even then, its power was frightening.

"Now, can you walk, dragon girl?"

He asked while stretching his right hand, helping her to stand on her own legs because, during the process, she was laying, as it made things easier. Now when he finished the process, the Void was gone from her wounds, and they had already started healing at supernatural speed.

This was the main reason why he dared to use the Void Magic in the spar, because he was aware of this fact and that Estrid could handle it. For example, he would never use it in a spar with Yvraine or Sarun because they didn't have the vitality or defenses of the dragons, who could handle it way better.

Estrid took his hand, standing up, as her tail wagged behind her excitedly, something which Samiel totally missed. In contrast, people in the watching stands were curious. However, only Karliana knew what was going to happen as she stole a glance at Yvraine, who was already gripping her swords.

"It is decided; you are going to be my mate!"

Shouted Estrid excitedly, and silence took over the training yard, and nobody said anything. Samiel looked dumbstruck, but he could reason her behavior logically. Dragons were one of the species that sought the strongest possible partners.

For dragons who wished to have a mate, strength and lineage were in the first place, and Samiel fitted both of them, so it was only logical from Estrid's point of view, as a Red Dragon, that she would proclaim him as her mate.

Their union would give birth to new strong hatchlings with unique lineage, which was all dragons cared about. In dragon "relationships", this was a very common occurrence to see, as they mated out of convenience.

Naturally, even among dragons, there existed those who had genuine feelings for their mates, but those cases were not as common as those mentioned above. This was just a general process of a dragon choosing its mate; it didn't matter if it came to a female dragon or a male dragon, the process would almost always remain the same and unchanged.

After a short time of absolute silence, where the only sound was that of Estrid's waggling tail, out of the audience stands, two jade swords suddenly shot out with tremendous speed, aiming directly at Estrid's head.

The dragon girl just dodged immediately, thanks to her superior dragon eyesight, allowing her to see them clear as day.

Not even seconds after, Yvraine appeared and looked absolutely enraged while summoning her swords back and attacking Estrid with them at the same time.

"I sense a disturbance in the force."

Samiel muttered quietly, as he watched them clash, not really knowing on what to do, before he waved his hand as he froze their legs, not allowing them to move an inch. Instantly from a pretty weird situation, it became a pretty weird situation, and on top of that, a dangerous atmosphere of death match was now lingering in the air.

It wouldn't do any good for them to fight against each other right now, especially since Estrid was tired after fighting him for more than an hour, and even if Yvraine won, it would be a shame, not a victory.

"Stop this farce; if you want to fight, then fight until the dragon girl is recuperated. And... thank you for your offer, I am certainly flattered, but I must refuse it with great sadness."

Samiel stated as he then gave Estrid a tactful rejection of her "offer".

Estrid looked at him weirdly as she tilted her head to the side, not understanding the proper meaning of rejection before she started thinking about it. She was aware that she was very attractive, be it in her dragon form or in her humanoid form, to many races and to countless perceptions of beauty, so she failed to see the problem.

"As long as you impregnate me, and I can lay my eggs safely, other things didn't matter."

She answered with a straight face, and he felt that this conversation was really going in a very, very weird direction. And on top of this, Yvraine looked, even more, enraged her Estrid continued with the nonsense.

Though he had to admit, this was not even one of the Top 5 weirdest conversations he ever led. He remembered that once on Earth, he led a debate with his fellow Necromancer. The guy was monologuing about why having sex with the undead was better than with living people.

"Shut up, you stupid lizard; he is mine, not yours!"

And then Yvraine shouted, almost subconsciously, not really realizing that Samiel was listening or that other people were listening too, including some servants and members of the Silvermoon Knight Order. However, she probably forgot about that little detail.

Samiel, on the other hand, dumbly watched the entire scenario that was unfolding in front of him, he wanted to say something or ask something, but he didn't have the right words for it.

Part of him wanted to refute Yvraine's words, but when he noticed her words, he deiced not... in the end, as the saying goes, "woman happy, entire life happy", or whatever it was.

Though he didn't really know if this counted to him, as they weren't even a couple, he planned to use Yvraine as his shield to get rid of Estrid because when he saw her determined expression, he realized that this dragon girl was just trouble.

He really didn't want to deal with Estrid and her pestering because he knew that the dragon girl wouldn't give up, it was in her personality, evidently, and when dragons decided they wanted something, they would stop at nothing to get it.

"Now, if you excuse me, I will be taking my leave."

He said, and as a proper coward, Samiel left and walked away, moving to the stands, where Lanlaris Daragan and Cardinal Karliana were sitting and chatting with each other.

"You are aware that she will be bugging you practically every day until you leave the 3rd Floor? Possibly even beyond that, if she could track you somehow."

Teased him Cardinal Karliana, while he looked horrified at the thought of having to deal with Estrid on a daily basis. Even now, it was above his paygrade, and he already had a headache, not to mention that during these past three days, he couldn't even properly study magic.

Not to mention, dealing with Yvraine, especially after this, felt weird. He didn't really understand what she meant by those words, but truthfully he predicted she said it just to rile her up, or god knows what she wanted to achieve.

Not really knowing that she meant them. For Yvraine, she didn't honestly know what her feelings were, but she knew that no man was worthy of her, and because of that, she consistently rejected all of her potential suitors.

Samiel Zentaur was the only person who was worthy of the hand of Yvraine Nesser Silvermoon, be it through the bloodline, power, talent, and now even background; everything was higher than her.

And that was something she appreciated. Not to mention, he was the first person who could "bear" spending time with her.

She was aware, deep inside that she was not the most enjoyable company and person to be around.

So Yvraine's thought process was straightforward. Until the time she sorted out her feelings, she needed to keep all potential "competitors" or, in her words, bitches, away from him.

Despite noticing how dense the man in question was, she wasn't risking that some skank would come and seduce the man she put her eyes on. In this situation, she wasn't taking any bets, especially when one of such skanks appeared now, and it was her rival.

'Stupid cow bitch! Why can't you go and mate with Ogre or Ork, something closer to your brain capacity.'

Yvraine thought in her head, in truth, she was jealous of Estrid, especially in certain areas of development, where she was losing on the entire ground. She knew that her "assets" were much smaller than Estrid's, not to mention that she lacked the womanly charm the dragon girl had.
