sion to another time.
Sharing our respective secrets with Awakened is already a huge leap of faith.
Trusting non-Awakened without properly discussing the matter, however, would lay the foundations of our own extinction. ”

Ernas Household, at the same time.

With Solus still recovering from her meeting with Bytra and the shock from her confession, the tower had become off-limits.
Lith and Solus spent most of their time working in the Forge, learning how to control the abilities of the Fury.

Their experiments required focus and quiet so they had asked Tista to find herself another place for her training.
It was the reason she had asked Quylla for hospitality and Nyka for help.

The Ernas Mansion had cutting-edge training facilities that could reshape themselves into any conceivable scenario, self-repair, and lots of cloaking arrays that made it impossible to see or hear what happened at their inside.

It was the perfect place for the Vampire and the Red Demon to go all-out against each other without the risk of being noticed or their techniques being stolen.
Kalla ’s adoptive daughter wore a simple white shirt and linen pants while Tista ’s clothes were a light Orichalcum sparring set.

Even though she was an Awakened with perfect body refinement, the mass of the Red Demon was the same as Tista ’s human form and her physical abilities alone couldn ’t compete with the physical prowess of the undead.

They both could use fusion magic on a similar level which was the same as not using it.
But while Tista ’s hits left no damage on the Vampire ’s soft skin and her claws opened wounds that healed in an instant, every of Nyka ’s blows cracked the Red Demon ’s scales and left a dark bruise on the skin beneath.

If not for the Orichalcum, Tista ’s body would have become a collection of broken bones in the space of a few exchanges.
Quylla sat outside the borders of the stone ring, grumbling from time to time.

She was tired of being the third wheel and waiting for her turn.

Nyka dodged Tista ’s claws aimed at her neck with a spin and struck at the back of her head with a roundhouse kick that sent the Red Demon sprawling on the floor.

”Dammit! ” Tista said amid pants, her eyes burning respectively with red and silver light.
”I Awakened when you were still an infant.
I am the second member of the Demon race and I ’ve trained my ass off with Faluel as much as Lith.
Then why do I keep losing to you? ”

”First, I ’m an undead.
I learned how to walk, count, read, write, and fight all in the same day. ” Nyka swept back her raven-black hair that looked as if she had just left a hair salon instead of a fight.

No matter how much they exercised, Vampires would never break a sweat.

”Second, I didn ’t spend my days sitting on my thumbs.
While you enjoyed your peaceful life at Lutia and the Academy, I fought every day against magical beasts who wanted to kill me.

”Then Aunt Scarlett taught me how to fight against Emperor Beasts and Uncle Vladion Awakened me.
I may be young, but I doubt that even humans triple my age have put as much effort as I did in combat. ”

”Let ’s say that you are right. ” Tista hated to admit it, but before joining Lith in his training under Faluel, she had always fought against opponents weaker than her.

She had never slacked off but she hadn ’t been forced to give her all either..
The few times that she had found herself involved in her brother ’s missions, like in Othre, she had always ended up having her ass handed to her.
