Reborn as the Dragon King's Son-In-Law

Chapter 116: Athena’s Homecoming

"Please provide your guidance to us from today onwards!"

A feeling of endless joy began to surge through Rossweisse’s mind. Getting two additional apprentices was a pleasant thing in Rossweisse’s eyes. Moreover, the two elf girls were not ordinary elf girls like the ones Rossweisse usually met in the past.

Rossweisse couldn’t ignore high-level talents like Tifa and Tina. As a woman born with a natural talent for magic, Rossweisse hoped she could provide her guidance to Tifa and Tina.

Among all the female disciples that Rossweisse had met in the past, perhaps only Tifa and Tina were able to train thoroughly under Rossweisse’s guidance. But Elize wasn’t completely born a witch. Therefore, Rossweisse did not consider her foolish disciple to be a future witch at all.

In the end, Elize is a dragon born with balanced strength in terms of statistics. Not all of the skills Rossweisse taught Elize were about magic. Instead, Rossweisse had taught Elize the martial arts she had learned in the past.

There were only two martial arts that Rossweisse had learned when she was young. Swordsmanship was the most common one Rossweisse could teach. In contrast, Spearmanship was a skill that Rossweisse had been honing to this day.

As the Queen Witch, Rossweisse had to be able to at least perform melee attacks when fighting against melee fighters. Therefore, Rossweisse had been able to survive against her enemies even when fighting against countless foes.

Only by mastering every skill that exists throughout the world would Rossweisse have more opportunities to face enemies far stronger than herself. For that reason, Rossweisse decided to create the Absorbing Abilities as an ability that could seize abilities from other users.

But there was no chance whatsoever for Rossweisse to try out the capabilities of the Absorbing Abilities that she had created with her own hands. On the contrary, Rossweisse decided not to think too much about her failure to use the Absorbing Abilities as her secret ability.

Among all the living beings in the entire world, Lucien is the only man who can master the skill of Absorbing Abilities. But even though Lucien could seize abilities from his enemies, he had to at least activate his true form to use the abilities of the Absorbing Abilities.

The next day passed, and Athena decided to say goodbye to Elize’s territory before saying goodbye to Lucien and the others. After thinking for a night, Athena decided to ask her mother for training in mastering the abilities of the Star Element.

"Are you okay if you go home alone? Should I go with you?"

"No need. Cien, please take care of yourself. I will be back as soon as all the training given by my mother is over."

A small nod came from Lucien. Athena’s departure from Elize’s territory slightly increased Lucien’s feeling of loneliness. However, Lucien did not expect that Athena would decide to leave Elize’s territory.

At first, Lucien thought that Athena would stay in Elize’s territory for a long time. In the end, the training that Rossweisse gave Athena did not suit her at all. Therefore, Athena decided to return to the castle and ask for training from her mother.

"Hena, don’t forget to tell us all about your situation. I will support you."

"Ha ha ha. You should worry more about yourself. Lize, I will defeat you sooner or later. In just half a year, I swear that I will soon reach the Dragon Emperor stage just like you."

Both Elize’s and Athena’s gazes began to show sharp and intimidating looks. The two friends are women who know each other and consider themselves rivals. For some reason, Elize’s desire to become endlessly stronger began to rise every time she remembered the challenge Athena had given her.

"Oh? Then I’ll wait for you for another half year. Once it’s over, I want us to be able to fight as we did in the past."

After the conversation between the two friends, both Athena and Elize began to say their goodbyes to each other. Just before Athena decided to leave Elize’s territory, she immediately kissed her lover on the lips.

The expression Lucien was showing right now after receiving a kiss from Athena only showed his embarrassed face. This was the first time Lucien had witnessed his first love take the initiative to kiss him in public. For some reason, Lucien’s face started to turn away from Athena and the others.

"I’ll go now~. Take care of them all, Cien. You are now the strongest. I’m sure you will be able to overcome any enemy who tries to find trouble with our Dragonia Kingdom."

Athena’s figure began to disappear into the sky after she said her last words. After Athena flew away from Elize’s territory, the expression on her face returned to its usual expressionless state.

A sigh of helplessness began to come out of Athena’s mouth. There was not a single day when Athena had thought of asking her mother for guidance. Until now, Athena had never once troubled her mother in the past decades.

Time passed as Athena flew closer to the royal capital. A giant eye appeared in the sky above the Dragonia Kingdom. Even so, Athena felt nervous as she stared at the giant eye now hanging over the Dragonia Kingdom.

"Is that you, Mother? Wait. I thought it was Father who was trying to break through his shackles?"

Various strange fluctuations began to be felt by the citizens of the Dragonia Kingdom. The sky, which had previously been bright, began to turn a deep purple. That was the characteristic of the power Lucius possessed when he was in his true form.

The citizens of the Dragonia Kingdom immediately noticed the changes that had occurred throughout their kingdom. Every citizen living within the Dragonia Kingdom knew the reason why strong energy fluctuations had begun to spread across their territory. After all, the energy radiated by that power came directly from their king.

It was impossible for the dragons not to know the strength of a dragon who had reached the Dragon Overlord stage. Only those who had reached the Dragon Overlord stage could control the power of heaven and earth. For that reason, everything happening throughout the skies of the Dragonia Kingdom was the result of the great power of Lucius, who was now preparing for his breakthrough.

"Naughty girl, hurry and come in. Your mother is waiting for you in her nest. She told your father that you would come soon to see her."

Lucius’s voice echoed throughout the sky and reached Athena’s ears. The expression Athena showed at this time revealed only her admiration. For the first time, Lucius had finally broken through his shackles and was preparing to reach the Dragon Overlord stage.

"Cough. Father, congratulations on successfully breaking through the shackles that have held back your strength for so long. I’m sure the wounds you received in the past have completely healed."

An involuntary laugh came out of Lucius’s mouth. As a loving father, it was rare for Lucius to hear praise given directly by one of his daughters.
