Chapter 563 Aspasia
(A/N: Remember Chap- 366 before reading this chapter)
"Here... try this" Anastasia said, handing a bowl of soup to a man.
The man took the bowl and his eyes lit up slightly as he smelled the spicy aroma coming from the soup. He stirred the soup with the spoon and finally drank it.
"So, what do you think?" Anastasia asked in a prideful voice after seeing the satisfied expression on the man's face.
"It's good"
"Of course it's good. I was bored so I learned cooking techniques for five hundred years" Anastasia said with a smirk on her face and drank a large mouthful of soup from another bowl.
"You learned cooking for five hundred years. Doesn't it mean you are...."
"Yes, I am one of the best chefs in this entir_"
"Doesn't it mean you are an old hag?"
Pfff!
"What?" Anastasia spat out the soup she was drinking and looked at the man with her eyes wide open.
"Am I wrong?" The man asked with a confused expression on his face seeing Anastasia's shocked look.
"Ye... I mean.." Anastasia was lost for words and didn't know what to say. She took a deep breath to calm down and organized her thoughts properly before speaking.
"Look, I am a dragon... And even among dragons, I am very special. Dragons can easily live for thousands of years so you can't call me old just because I learned cooking for five hundred years"
"Do you understand?" Anastasia asked in a serious voice.
"Oh" The man nodded his head and scooped another spoonful of soup into his mouth, "So you mean you're a young dragon who is a few thousand years old, right?"
"Well... There is no need to say a few thousand years old" Anastasia muttered to herself in a low voice.
The man heard Anastasia's grumbling but he ignored it completely.
"You still can't get rid of the poison?" The man asked after he finished the soup.
"The poison is more powerful than I initially thought. It will still take a few months for me to completely detoxify it." Anastasia replied while sighing loudly.
"Looks like I'm not going to get any peace for the next few months then," The man said and stood up.
"What do yo_"
"Hey, how long do you intend to keep following us?" The man looked in the distance after standing up and said in an indifferent voice.
Hearing the man's words, Anastasia's expression changed and she also stood up.
'Is there really someone? Even though I lost most of my power because of poison I sh_'
"Interesting...to think that someone as weak as you would be able to detect me" Anastasia was still thinking when a slightly cold voice rang out.
"This voice..." Anastasia's eyes opened wide when she heard the voice and a shocked look appeared on her face. The next second, the space some distance away from her and the man twisted and a woman appeared there.
The woman was wearing golden armour and had long brown hair. Her eyes were light green with snake pupils and she had dark brown skin. There was a black spear in her hand and a cold aura was coming out from her body.
"Aspasia" Anastasia muttered after seeing the woman.
Hearing Anastasia, Aspasia looked at her coldly but didn't say anything.
"Since she has even sent her strongest general, it seems that Akasha is really getting impatient," Anastasia said in a mocking voice after seeing Aspasia.
"Will you come with me willingly or will I have to use force?" Aspasia ignored Anastasia's mocking words and said in a cold voice.
"Force?" A sneer appeared on Anastasia's face when she heard Aspasia, "Just a few months ago you couldn't even lift your head in front of me and now you are threatening me?"
Aspasia nodded her head when she heard Anastasia, but her expression didn't change, "I know you are far stronger than me, but don't forget that you are currently under the effect of Her Majesty's poison. In your current condition, you will never be able to defeat me so instead of wasting our time in a meaningless fight just follow me obediently."
"If you follow me obediently, I will even spare the life of this guy," Aspasia said while looking at the man who was watching everything with an indifferent expression.
"You should leave" Anastasia said to the man.
"Why?" The man asked in a calm voice hearing Anastasia.
"Are you stupid? Didn't you hear what I just said? She is the strongest general under Akasha's command. There is no way you can face her. I know you are strong, but your rank is way below her. You won't even be able to break her natural defence with your current power."
"I know she is far stronger than me and I can't beat her, but I still don't want to leave."
"Why?" Anastasia asked in an irritated voice.
"It's because... " the man said and his lips curled up slightly, "I just found something interesting."
(Your title 'The Cursed One' is reacting)
(The effect of your title 'The Cursed One' is being nullified by the title 'The Progenitor Of The Shadow Dragon')
"You said you are the progenitor of the shadow dragon, right?" the man looked at Anastasia and asked.
"Yes" Anastasia nodded her head with a confused expression on her face.
"Well... Since that's the case I think we need to have a good chat."
"You are done?" Suddenly the man and Anastasia heard a cold voice and saw Aspasia looking at them with cold eyes. "I wanted to handle everything peacefully, but since you are being stubborn, then don't blame me."
The black spear in Aspasia's hand glowed and she threw it towards Anastasia.
"Damn, this bi*ch" Anastasia cursed and was about to move away when the man appeared in front of her.
"Death Guardian Authority"
(Death Guardian Authority Activated)
A black aura burst from his body, and the spear that could easily kill hundreds of people of the same rank as that man was caught by him with his bare hands.
"What?" Both Anastasia and Aspasia were shocked and their eyes almost popped out of their eye sockets.
"This spear is quite good, I will take it as compensation since you tried to hurt my chef," The man said and threw the black spear toward the ground. Just as he threw the spear towards the ground, his shadow shook slightly and swallowed the spear.
"You bastard" Aspasia was shocked when the man caught her spear with his bare hands, but her shock soon turned into anger when she suddenly lost connection with her spear. A frightening aura burst forth from Aspasia's body and she instantly appeared in front of the man, wanting to rip apart his head.
The man was not even able to follow Aspasia's movement, but his expression did not change. Just when Aspasia's hands were about to touch him, she suddenly froze.
(Time Authority, Temporal Pause Activated)
The man raised his hand and a black energy covered his entire arm.
(Master Of Shadows Authority Activated)
"Remember my words, although I can't kill you with my current power. It won't be the same next time we meet." The man said and swung his hand which was covered in black energy.
Slap!
The sound of a slap rang out and Aspasia who was frozen was sent flying away.
The man looked at Anastasia who was frozen as well and grabbed her hand. Black energy covered both of them and they disappeared from the place, leaving behind Aspasia who was lying on the ground with a slap mark on her face.
