First Demonic Dragon

Chapter 62 Absence Makes The Heart Grow

For four days, Exedra lived in hell.

His body was repeatedly pierced by his own boiling blood, and his skill, pain resistance had already evolved to level three.

Whenever he felt like he was about to die or pass out, his blood would calm and allow his body to heal and regenerate damaged tissue before it went on a rampage again.

Despite dragons having a strong healing factor, it's nothing compared to vampires or slimes so he'd need an hour to regenerate each time.

Currently, Exedra was sitting cross legged in the blood dome with his eyes closed.

He could feel it.

Slowly but surely everytime his insides were torn to shreds they grew back stronger and more durable than before.

< Endurance + 150

…

< Endurance + 100

…

< Endurance + 80

Crack!

Suddenly a crack appeared in the blood dome before it crumbled to pieces and revealed a sleepy looking Seras.

*Yawn* "Morning little Prince." Seras rubbed her eyes sleepily as she glanced over Exedra's body to check his progress.

"Oh your body's improved a little bit huh?"

She walked forward and bent down so that they were eye level and took his hand. "I'm just gonna borrow this for a sec."

Crack!

With a swift motion, Seras snapped his wrist and a sickening crack could be heard.

Exedra did not flinch, he didn't blink, and he surely didn't cry out from this unprovoked attack.

He simply stared at Seras with his red and purple eyes and inwardly, she started to find him even more attractive.

To her a pretty man who couldn't endure was no more than a waste so she admired this change in his demeanor.

'Maybe I can mold him into my perfect man before that slut Tiamat or whorish witch queen get their hands on him.'

She was certain the two women would try to seduce the man in front of her again.

Exedra's beauty was such that with just one look he would be in your subconscious forever, inadvertently causing you to compare any man you met to him.

So of course the greedy witch and even greedier dragon were going to try their hand again at seducing the young man in front of her.

In a world where the strong dominated the weak, the only reason why Exedra wasn't shackled to their beds already to be used day and night was because of his family background.

Naturally no one wanted trouble with the dragons so their only way to get to taste him was to actually seduce him.

'I have to fix him and hoard him fast!' Inwardly Seras was making plans to clear out her dungeon at home and turn it into a 'fun room' for her and Exedra.

Exedra wasn't sure what delusions were running through the mind of the woman in front of him, but judging by her aura that was rapidly changing colors, he figured that it was no doubt something that'd give him a headache.

His hand healed quickly, and when it did he immediately yanked himself free from Seras so that she couldn't touch him any longer than needed.

"Alright next comes the fun part!" Seras rose to her feet and picked up her spear that was implanted in the ground a short distance away.

Pointing it at him, she gave Exedra the rules for what was about to happen next. "I'm going to try to put this through that nice little body of yours. All you have to do is dodge the right way, okay?"

Exedra raised an eyebrow when he heard the details of the training he was about to undergo.

Seras seemingly understood the look he was giving her and reassured him. "Don't worry! I'll hold wayyy back!"

Saying nothing more, Exedra quickly rose up and flexed his newly reconstructed muscles and tendons.

Taking a simple stance, Exedra waited for his master to make the first move.

"Oh I almost forgot! You'll get a punishment if you don't dodge properly!"

"What punis-"

"Here I come!"

Kicking off against the ground, Seras shot forward towards him like a bullet thrusting her spear at his midsection.

'She's still so fast!'

Exedra used the lightning element in his body to leap a clear distance away and avoid it.

"Wrong!"

Slap!

At a speed that was impossible for him to react to, Seras moved in front of him and gave Exedra a hard slap across the face.

As Exedra's mouth filled with the metallic taste of blood, he realized this must've been the punishment she was talking about.

'Even with pain resistance leveling up so much this still hurts.'

Putting some distance between them, Seras once again prepared to attack. "Remember you have to dodge properly!"

Before he could ask what was wrong with his previous dodge, she once again leaped forward, this time aiming for his leg.

Exedra made sure to execute a controlled and graceful dodge that didn't look as scrambled as before.

Seras took one look at the distance between them and smiled. "Ooh nice!"

She once again blurred out of his vision before she reappeared in front of him giving him a nice hard smack.

Slap!

"But still wrong!"

Exedra spit blood on the ground as he tried to think of what he could be doing wrong.

The second time was better than the first so…

'What am I doing wrong?'

'Wait… she's fucking crazy!' His eyes widened as he thought of a possible answer to this current situation.

Exedra took a deep breathe to relax his mind and his body. Luckily the meditation he'd done prior to this was coming in handy right about now.

'Did he figure it out already? I wanted to touch him a few more times.' Seras thought with a disappointed tone. 'Well let's be certain.'

Bang!

The ancient dragon once again shot forward this time aiming to pierce his head.

She smiled when Exedra tilted his head to the side, dodging her blade by only a hair's length.

"Great! You got it!"

"Wanna explain to me why that was the answer?" He was slightly annoyed by the two slaps he'd received and wanted to know what the reason for that insanity was.

"You think because dragons have tons of energy we can be wasteful with it?" She frowned.

"Dodging with as little movement as possible not only conserves your stamina, but it tricks the opponent into using theirs up faster."

"How so?" Exedra frowned.

He thought she was just having him do this because it looked cool.

"It makes your opponent think 'if I just go a little faster, I can cut him down' and subconsciously, they start using more of their energy to close the gap. For enemies that you are forced to trade blows with, something of this nature is vital. "

Exedra nodded as he finally understood the value of what Seras was teaching him.

But there was still a burning question lingering in his mind.

"What if I'm not fast enough?"

A sadistic grin spread across Seras' childlike face.

She took her stance again and prepared to pierce him with her weapon.

"I'll make you fast enough."

For the first time a large smile broke out across Exedra's face that made Seras' heart skip a beat.

The feeling of growing stronger was always terribly addictive.

-

For eight entire hours, Seras assaulted Exedra with countless attacks of varying speeds an intensity.

He could not dodge perfectly everytime, and ended up getting parts of his body sliced into by the spears razor sharp blade.

Only when she felt satisfied with his progress did she tell him he was free to go home for the night but that would be the last time he'd be home for a while.

Seras had things to prepare if she was going to make him the third most feared warrior in the kingdom after all.

Teleporting into his room at the castle, Exedra sighed when he felt the comfort of familiar surroundings embrace him.

He looked down at his current outfit and realized his outfit not only had holes in it, it was also smelly and dirty as well.

"I should take a bath before I go and find everyone." He had to go and inform his family that he'd be away for some time training and he was really nervous about how they'd take it.

'Whatever. I'll use the time in the bath to think.'

Opening the door to his room, Exedra could only curse his luck when he saw his three beautiful wives in black nightgowns looking like they were getting ready for bed.

"Honey!"

"Husband!"

"We missed you!

One by one, each of the women barreled into Exedra's chest to give him a hug that could crush steel.

They didn't seem to mind the blood or the stench coming from him as they relished being in the embrace of their husband whom they'd missed so much.

"I missed you girls too." He wrapped his arms around them and gave each of the girls a long kiss.

"Want to join me in the bath?" He suddenly asked.

The three girls eyes sparkled in unison when they heard their husbands tone and they knew that he'd makeup for the days he'd missed in full.

Though after, he'd deliver some of the worst news they could've heard.
