The two of them looked at their savior with warm eyes before slowly turned red. The way of these two dressed looked really indecent.

Instead if worrying for their lives, Cang Yue immediately went full red and shouted. "Sister Retsu, Yun Che. Why are you two dressed like that? How shameful."

Yun Che responded with a relaxed face "Hey, we had our share of fun at the other side. Good thing we didn"t lose all of them." Yun Che looked all over his body and widen his eyes. He didn"t look like a cool warrior at all. He was more like how Ichigo looked after getting his a.s.s kicked by Ulquiorra.

Retsu looked all over her body as well and said "Hnnn, I never knew wearing less clothing makes my body quite breezy."

Yun Che immediately sweat dropped. "It"s better for us to dress normally next time. Wouldn"t want to see you getting used to it." Well, he didn"t want Retsu to walk around the house naked.

She immediately stood next to him while pressing his arm between her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. *Giggle, I know young master, I only show all of my skin to you, you know."

"This girl..." Yun Che karate chop her head softly for her antics. He wasn"t aware that Kon was bleeding from his nose while Cang Yue was covering her eyes.

Then, he saw Little Fairy was eyeing him from the beginning. "What"s wrong Little Fairy? Hoo, you"re interested in my body that much?"

"You Rascal!" She immediately stood up and raised her fists at him. Yun Che immediately grabbed both of her hands in a friendly manner. "I am kidding.." he said in a joking manner but as he grabbed both of her arms. He felt her arms were shaking and he slowly turned serious before asking. "You okay?"

"I never felt so weak in my whole life. In front of these dragons, my strength is worthless. I always though aside from the Asgard master, I am second strongest in this Empire. I trained myself so I won"t feel fear anymore. But…" She slowly shed a tear and drips to the ground.

"Why am I feeling so much fear right now?" She didn"t cry but she was shaking uncontrollably as she said those words to him. He wanted to hug her but his body right now was considered quite indecent and dirty. He immediately lowers her arms slowly and lift her chin up before gently wiping her tears. He slowly looking into her grey eyes and said "Despite feeling so much fear. You didn"t run from the battle. You protected Cang Yue till the very end. That alone is suffice for you to be stronger than anyone else. So, believe in yourself. Even if no one else is beside you. You still have us." Then, she saw Retsu nodded at her.

"Rascal.." She slowly regained herself and smiled at him before turning around. Then, she slowly muttered "That"s why I really like you."

He didn"t hear her mutters clearly and said "You say something?"

"No, you shameless rascal." She said while looking at the way he is dressed. Not that she minds anyway.


Cang Yue was hugging Retsu despite all that dirt and blood on her body. Even if she show an unusual relaxed expression before, she suddenly burst into tears when Retsu suddenly hugged her. Turns out she tried covering her fears using their indecent clothing as a reason. In the end, she too was bawling her eyes out on her. These two faced never felt so much fear and powerlessness in their life. But this will be the turning point for them in the future. After being comforted by Retsu, she finally calmed down before saying something might change her life in the future.

"Sister YueChan, Yun Che, Sister Retsu. I don"t want to be a weak person anymore. Please let me grow stronger in the future. I don"t want to see my sisters died protecting me. I don"t want to stand behind everyone. I want to walk and stood beside all of you." She said while hugging Retsu. Soon everyone gathered around her. If Yun Che didn"t arrived on time, she died along with Little Fairy. The thought of it started to haunt and scared her. But, if she could grow stronger, perhaps the situation might change for the better.

"Don"t worry. We"ll do something to change that." If he can elevate her cultivation in the future, One day, she too will step in the realm of the Divines.

He let the other two comfort Cang Yue while he stood next to Kon. " Yo Kon, you okay?" He sensed his spiking aura back then. He never knew this guy had an aura much more powerful than Haoshoku No Haki. Too bad its only once a day.

Kon grunted in silence. "Hmph, why did you get all the thanks?"

Yun Che laughs at his antics and said "Still, thanks man. Even if just for a moment, you stall just enough time for us to get here."

Kon regained his composure and switched back to his arrogant self. "Yare yare, Kon sama will protect the ladies from harm."

Suddenly, they heard a tremor came from the crater. The dragons suddenly rise again and flew above them with intimidating aura. "YOU DESPICABLE HUMANS!!! I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU TO APPEASE MY CHILD!!!!"

"Chee, they"re persistent." All of them immediately a.s.sumed battle stance as the dragons will go full offensive this time.

"YOU d.a.m.n MORTALS!!!!" Then, they heard another voice came from the horizon.

"What now??" All heads turned around as they saw the Demon hollow Granz arrived back at the basin after being sent flying by Yun Che and Retsu"s combined attack. Looks like this guy managed to recover a bit of his strength. He loses reaitsu and his strength wasn"t on par like the beginning but he was still strong. His armor was still shattered but this hollow is quite persistent.

Seeing they are cornered, he turned towards Kon. "Kon, you can still transform right?"

Kon took some extra damage earlier but he still can transform. "Just for a moment."

"It"ll do, I want you to transform and take Cang Yue away from here. The three of us will engage them." He and the others immediately a.s.sumed that the worst is still yet to come. By let Kon leave with Cang Yue, they could fight knowing that both of them are safe.

Cang Yue suddenly shouted at him. "But, I want to help as well."

Retsu immediately tap her shoulder. "Sorry Sister Yue, but you and Kon"s strength is still insufficient. Leave this to us. Please leave with Kon, at least we know you are safe in his hands."

"But…" Cang Yue hated this feeling. She hated that she had sit on the sidelines while the others are fighting. But, she won"t get in their way and thus complied with their wish.

"Kon, GO!!!" Yun Che shouted to Kon and he nodded before transforming into his lion cub. He proceeded on biting the clothing near Cang Yue"s neck to lift her up. Cang Yue slowly said "Everyone, please be careful." Yun Che just nodded at Kon before he turned into a streak of light towards the safest location. Yun Che and the others observed the movement of the dragons and Granz to prevent them from giving chase.

Granz slowly said while floating in the air. "Hmph, weaklings. Always leave early. No matter, I"ll hunt them down later on."

"Hmph, you wish to kill these humans as well?" The male dragons shouted in human tongue towards Granz. The female dragon then continued "Do not interfere or we will kill you as well."

Granz simply ignored them. "After I murdered them, I will consume both of your vitality for my strength. Do not get in my way."

The dragons immediately raised their aura against him. "Arrogant beings, your kind invaded this continent and you dare be brazen before us?"

As Granz and the dragons were arguing. Yun Che turned his head towards the remaining member of his party. "Retsu, Little Fairy." The three of them slowly float up in the air and stood by while their back facing each other. Now they are cornered by the two dragons and Granz leaving them with no means of escape.

"Now, this isn"t the situation I was hoping for." Yun Che immediately draw Tensa Zangetsu and hold it horizontally in front of him. His action soon followed by Retsu and Little Fairy by drawing their own swords as well. Retsu immediately increased her slaughter aura causing the other two dragons to look her with contempt.

Showing his usual and excited grin. He brought Tensa Zangetsu behind his head. "One Adjuchas and two Emperor dragons. Things escalated to this point huh?"

Retsu was also in her good mood. "It might be a fun battle young master."

Seeing these dragons, he had an idea to push things into their advantage. He turned to her and said "Retsu my dear. Take on the male dragon and acquire some blood points. We might needed some for the hollow later on."

"Hai" Retsu nodded before getting into her fighting mode. She was hoping to face the dragon and acquire some blood points. If her blood points were full then her strength will increased by an entire realm and she would have the means of executing her domain. The hollow"s life will be over by then.

Little Fairy relaxed her composure once more. "Rascal, there"s no way I could fight even one them. I"ve tried." She remembered her previous fight with them just now. She couldn"t even caused some major damage to it. There"s no way she wanted to face even one of them.

Yun Che heard her before slowly smiled. "Perhaps, you didn"t try all of your strength yet."

"My strength??" She was stunned when Yun Che actually turned around and touched her chin before pulling her closer. Her heart was beating loudly as she knew what he meant to do. The weird thing is, she didn"t refused it. All of a sudden, he pressed his right palm directly onto the middle of her chest. "R…r…rascal?!?!?! What are you doing?!? Now"s not the time…" Her words soon stuck between her throat as she felt powers surging directly from the middle of her chest.

"This is…." She suddenly felt the explosive power came from her chest. Its the power she"s been waiting for all this time. The power she desperately searched for years now.

Yun Che looked at her gray eyes before slowly said "What I"ve been holding for you. I shall give it back."

Little Fairy sensed that her strength was actually breaking through. She immediately stepped into the Emperor Profound Realm. The realm she spent years just to achieve even so far getting poisoned just because of a rumor. The process didn"t stop there. She was making another breakthrough.

Second Level…

Third Level…

Fourth...

Fifth…

Sixth….

The process finally slows down as she finally stepped into the initial stage of the Seventh Level of the Emperor Profound Realm. Her aura is rampaging around her as she slowly grew excited upon witnessing her new strength.

Little Fairy couldn"t believe her eyes. "Rascal…this…"

"Yes, the pills you consumed before are energy pills for Emperor Profound Realm cultivators I"ve created. Those pills opening up your profound vein large enough as if you were an Emperor Profound Realm cultivator. Moreover, Those pills stabilize your powers and when you finally stepped and breaking through. Your new powers are accustomed to your body as if you were at the Seventh Level this whole time. Right now, your new powers are stabilizing itself."

Little Fairy was shocked, Yun Che was preparing for her breakthrough all this time. He once remember that all he need is a push of a b.u.t.ton. She turned her eyes towards her crush and looked at him with warm eyes. "Rascal, I don"t know…what.. to…"

"Save it, now you can fight that dragon to your heart"s content. And take this…" He tossed a couple of blue and red vials to her. She once drank its content during her one-month battle when Retsu offered her. To her and Cang Yue, it was considered a priceless treasure to restore health and profound energy back at full strength. She immediately drank one and restored her strength to full power.

She was really excited as she broke-through seven levels alone today and even stepped into the realm she was always wanted to be. But, she was kind of disappointed when he held her chin and didn"t do anything. She shook her head and back into the game. If he"s giving her the opportunity, she"ll do her best to protect them.

Little Fairy immediately draw her sword as her newfound strength making its way towards her sword. Coated her sword with haki, she couldn"t wait to use all her profound arts to destroy this dragon.

"Little Fairy, you faced that female dragon on the left. Retsu, take on that male dragon. Have fun using your bankai on it."

"Hai, Young master." Retsu increased her bankai killing aura as she stood with all her glory even though she is quite s.e.xy right now.

Little Fairy was excited as she was getting used to her new profound strength. "Hnnn. I have debts to pay to that dragon."

Yun Che however was planning something even more dire. "I"ll take on that Adjuchas." If he was alone, he could finally go full strength on it but that doesn"t mean he"ll take some chances to level his body.

Then, he shouted "Let"s go! It"s time for our counter attack!" before engaging their chosen targets.
