Chapter 58
Oh, and she also found out the Dryad's name is Lavendia upon further questioning, but she seemed to prefer being called 'Servant' or 'Slave' for some reason.
Thinking of what the Dryad said, Dana began thinking this is eerily similar to a movie she watched before, looking around warily she thought 'Is this going to be a staged performance or something?'.
No way could this be a coincidence, but Dana thoughts are soon interrupted by the behemoth of a shark which is currently speeding towards them.
Looking at the shark, Dana said, "Well servant, it is time for you to prove yourself as a worthy of being my subordinate!"
But, unlike what she was expecting Lavendia didn't seem to be too excited at all before saying, "Master, maybe this isn't the best idea, due to me being in the wrong environment it will be incredibly disadvantageous to me..."
But, before the Lavendia could even react, she was thrown with great strength towards the large shark by Dana who said, "When you choose to serve this Dragon you need to live by a code! An honour amongst Dragons! We are a n.o.ble and virtuous race who will never do such a shameless thing as running away! Now, show your pride in serving me as you battle to the death with the Shark."
Lavendia who is suddenly finding herself heading right towards the gigantic sharks gaping maw shrieked before she released a powerful attack, sending the shark staggering back.
Annoyed that its prey got away and even managed to push it back, the shark swam furiously towards the scurrying Dryad who is forming her own attacks to counter the Shark.
Soon enough a tremendous battle between both Lavendia and the Shark commences, whereas even with the Dryad being highly disadvantaged being within the Sharks environment still impressively manage to be superior within the confrontation between the both slightly.
Lavendia showed her impressive battle power, by battling a rare aquatic beast with a similarly ranked bloodline within its own territory, causing even the proud Dana to be impressed.
The shockwaves of the intense battle caused large waves, as the battle grew further, Lavendia used her nature attributed attacks to launch spiked-vines around the shark which angrily tore them off becoming increasingly furious is still hasn't dealt with the foe before it.
Lavendia continued to fight the shark, managing to inflict a large gash to its side, as blood began leaking out of its wound.
Dana who became excited at seeing her subordinate drawing the first meaningful injury of the fight, suddenly grew concerned when she detected that something wasn't right!
And of course, Dana ended up being correct, as it seemed the large shark wasn't alone.
Another shark which seemed to be even bigger, stared at Lavendia with bloodshot eyes at it witnessed its mate being hurt by the creature before it.
Dana hurriedly charged over to a.s.sist her servant, as letting Lavendia fight both sharks by herself was simply suicide, as the Dryad was already considerably weakened by the fact that they had to battle within this environment, not to mention some of her abilities are limited as a result of them being spirit beasts.
Due to the Dryads having a few skills which are s.e.xual, which prove to be rather useless towards
Thus, making the Dryad much more formidable against these sort of opponents, as Dana doesn't want Lavendia to be put in such a disadvantage before the large shark could interfere, it was met with the full force strike of a Frost Wyvern.
Being slammed back from the confrontation, the Shark which previously directed its full attention towards the Dryad regarded Dana with a gaze full of killing intent.
Seeing the raging Shark, she felt this was an excellent opportunity to test her multiple heads, s.h.i.+fting into her Three-Headed form, two more heads emerge out of her body, each beholding the Shark with a fierce look.
The Shark seeing the unusual scene of its opponent all of a sudden gaining multiple heads looked at her with confusion.
But, Dana didn't give it the chance to think further as she instantly attacked using the Tri-Elemental Strike, causing her three heads to launch three different attributed attacks towards the Shark.
As the Shark witnessed the deadly projectiles aimed toward it, its eyes became panicked at it frantically attempted to get out the way, but upon narrowly dodging two it was..h.i.t by the third strike leaving a scorching mark on its back as a blow of the fire attribute landed.
Shrieking from the pain, the Shark furiously opened its ma.s.sive mouth as it tried to rip Dana into pieces which responded by moving out of the way of its ma.s.sive jaws, while simultaneously all three of her heads launched repet.i.tive strikes into the Shark.
Screaming in agony at the damage caused by the three-attributed attack, the Shark began launching water-attributed attacks toward Dana.
Who responded by destroying each of them by her own attacks until she managed to get right before the giant shark and used her claws to tear into its skin, to deal a long scratch wound on the right side of her body.
Before the shark could react, she jumped on its back digging her claws into its flesh as all three heads continuously attacked the colossal beasts head, ripping a path to its brain as its skull cracked open allowing Dana to kill the beast by destroying its brain.
The Shark losing such a vital organ original thras.h.i.+ng stilled, as it began to sink within the water as it breathed its last.
Dana not wanting to go to all of that work to drag the Shark back up digs her claws into its flesh before dragging it up to the surface, as she emerged out of the depth of water due to their battle with the sharks.
Dana soon saw Lavendia who on her part and had taken care of the other shark upon seeing Dana she couldn't help but say, "Hey Master, didn't I tell you I'm amazing? See, I am totally worthwhile in having as a slave, but I feel my performance isn't satisfactory enough, so will you punish me?"
Seeing Lavendia's pleading Dana was puzzled, as shouldn't she be avoiding this?
But, thinking that she likely has high expectations of herself and was probably disappointed in her performance, wanting to impress here more, she believed this must be the reason!
Dana approached Lavendia before placing her hand on her back before she said, "Its alright my trusted subordinate, you don't need to set such high goals for yourself because of me, this master will be lenient towards you!"
While waiting for the grateful and overjoyed expression of the Dryad for having such a wonderful master to appear, Dana was soon disappointed as the Dryad seemed not to be thrilled at all by her master's comments.
Lavendia said, "Come on Master, just punish me one more time!"
Lavendia thought back to that strange pleasurable sensation due to Dana being 'rough' with her and felt that she desperately needed to feel it again, as it is the most thrill she received s.e.xually in centuries.
Seeing the scary expression on the Dryad's face, Dana decided to ignore her for now and concentrated on the two Sharks bodies.
Thinking that she will have yet another runic-stone, Dana excitable began digging within the largest shark body before finally coming across it, pleased being one step closer to being able to unlock the heavenly treasure!
While smiling in bliss, she was yet again rudely interrupted by Lavendia which once again attempted to hug her from behind, but learning from her previous experience; Dana flung the Dryad over her shoulder roughly making her land on the floor miserably.
Overlooking the joyous look on Lavendia's face, she stored the cores and runic-stone within her storage ring.
The System also asked her if she wanted to sell both of the Shark bloodlines for 10,000 soul points each similar to the Snake, now with them sold she has enough to afford to upgrade her Earth Wyrm or Blaze Wrym bloodline, but she decided to do this after finding the Heavenly Treasure of the Secret Realm.
Suddenly, the voice of the old fogie sounded within her mind interrupting her of these current thoughts as he said, "Well done for finis.h.i.+ng the inheritance, here is your reward and I will send you on your way quickly, I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to talk to this old man if you desire after you complete all five inheritances, and place the runic-stones into the centre of the Secret Realm."
With the old fogies words finished, she quickly teleported into a mountainous region, filled with towering mountains.
Thinking that this was her last inheritance to complete before having the treasure, Dana and Lavendia walked towards the inheritance, not forgetting to bring the two large shark bodies with them, which ended up being cut into pieces and stored within Dana's s.p.a.cial ring.
After all, Dana will never forget about her next meal.
