nThe travel didn’t take long, due to the superior technology of the spaceship compared with what’s available in the Rodia star cluster, and no matter how much Alice insisted, Aster didn’t reveal what would the place of their date would be.

nSo, after about two hours they caught a glimpse of a big planet about the same size of the Azure Sky planet, not too far from them.

nFor re entering through the atmosphere, Aster changed to manual and properly made the spaceship descend in a sparsely populated area.

nOf course, it was hard to find an open area with no people around, so Aster didn’t bother to look for a place like that, in any case with the “dissuasion” of a star axys cultivator like Aria, others won’t try to actively bother them.

nOnce the spaceship landed, Alice and Aria left while Aster turned off the spirit formations before following the girls.

nThere were a couple of curious and greedy gazes which fell on the spaceship and even on Alice and Aria.

n“Humph”, Aria looked at the direction of the town from which the gazes originated and she coldly snorted, she didn’t care if they looked at the spaceship, but looking at her with lust is a completely different story.

nShe leaked some of her spirit pressure which fell on the sources of the spirit senses that were fixated on her and Alice, then not even a second later, pitiful screams and begs could be heard coming from the town.

n“Aghhh, senior please spare my life!”.

n“We didn’t recognize Ms. Fairy, please pardon my puny existence!”.

nSimilar kinds of apologies could be heard, what a joke, for the people of the Rodia star cluster, those on the star axys realm were all important patriarch level figures, so they were now regretting their actions.

nOriginally, they dared to do it as they only noticed two stellar constellation cultivators, so they guessed that Aria who seemed to be in the same group of age, was the same, but they were wrong.

nAlthough they were at fault, normally the star axys cultivators are used to be domineering, so they always show their cultivation realm, but Aria and the other girls are used to keep their powers hidden, the only ones who doesn’t do it are Aster since his battle prowess goes way beyond his actual realm and Kana who is still at the earth origin realm.

nAster nodded in recognition, the girls had to show their might if they wanted others to respect them, Lilia already warned them that if one looks weak to the places they will be going, others would try to take advantage of them, and since none of them were weak, Aster decided to let them solve that kind of problems… because with his dragon nature, he might end up killing someone on a whim, and it would be a pain in the ass to deal with all the “young masters” and their backings, instead if the girls were the ones to retaliate, then most of those incidents will end at the spot.

nWhat kind of man would be willing to go look for his father to say, “I got my ass handed by a girl, seek justice for me”, at least that’s what Lilia learned after being hit on a lot, before she caused a carnage in the training of the young generation back then.

nAfter a moment of contemplation, Aria dispelled her spirit pressure, while other high ranked cultivators would kill over the smallest things, she wouldn’t go that far… but a couple broken bones will beat some sense into them.

nIgnoring the sobs and words of gratitude coming from different places in the town, Aster kept the spaceship on his spatial ring and he flew towards east becoming a flash of light in a matter of seconds, Alice and Aria exchanged gazes before they followed him.

nInside the town right at the center a large mansion raised proud, but right now there was not even a spec of the dignity this building normally has, maids, guards and doctors were causing a turmoil as they rushed to the main hall.

nThere in the floor there was a young man collapsed with blood coming out of his mouth and eyes, an older looking man which was about seventy percent similar to the young man, sighed with a complicated expression.

nHe an early-stage star axys realm cultivator and the strongest city lord, today realized he spoiled his son too much, a few seconds ago they were both about to lose their lives, just because of something as stupid as coveting the treasure of a passing by hidden expert.

nIt was a justified thought, although Aria wasn’t focused in offensive unlike Alice, the purity of her spirit energy was as good as possible, her constitution prevented her from being stained with impurities after all, and she is also a soul cultivator so in spirit pressure terms, she surpassed the star tribulation realm.

nThe maids entered the main hall but as they were about to bring the young man to the infirmary, the middle-aged man shouted in a decisive voice.

n“Bring this little bastard to disciplinary confinement, only then treat his wounds”, without caring for the pleading gazes that a woman which was next to him gave him, the man left as he took out a communication talisman.

n“Patriarch Kraft… there is a venerable expert which recently arrived to the planet, it seems to be harmless unless provoked”.

n…

nOblivious to all the waves that their arrival provoked, Aster, Alice and Aria kept flying towards the east, until they saw from afar a land with no vegetation, the only thing that there was, were dark brown mountains from which smoke raised.

nBut to their surprise Aster didn’t stop there, so they kept flying for about one hour more until they reached a place where the scenery changed, at one side a land of fire and lava at the other one a white land of ice and snow, two landscapes as contrary as possible which collided by some whim of the nature.

nWithout saying anything Aster descended from the sky and landed on the dark brown land from which lava flowed, surprisingly even without using spirit energy he was standing on the lava without being affected by it.

nAlice and Aria also descended but they coated their feet with spirit energy to not get burn by it.

nSeeing Alice’s weird expression, Aster smiled happy for her reaction.

n“If I didn’t reinforce my clothes with my blood, every time I used annihilation, I would end up naked, and I prefer to reserve that you ladies”.

nJust like the training swords and the dragon buster series, his clothes, shoes and every little accessory used by Aster contained some of his blood so that it would be recognized as part of him, thus preventing annihilation from erasing it by mistake, and since he is technically in part a dragon, in other words he was covered in spirit treasures with defensive properties from head to toe.

nUnfortunately, the effect only allowed it to resist a few usages of annihilation before the clothes wore down, that’s why he didn’t bother to create armor as it will be destroyed even before it can fulfill its purpose, but now that he had soul energy things will be different or at least that was his theory.

n“You know, I squeezed my brains to think what would be a good idea for my date with you two”, said Aster as he looked at the surrounding areas a if he wanted to confirm something.

nAlice pouted, besides rocks, lava and a lot of ice she couldn’t see anything else here, she knew the places where Aster brought Lilia, Sarina and Kana, and this was completely different.

n“It’s not exactly romantic if you ask me though”, she said.

nIn a rare occurrence Aria agreed with Alice, she couldn’t imagine this place being useful for something besides… fighting.

nAnd to confirm her supposition, Aster smiled as the golden armor clad his body, not only that, blue flames appeared on his right hand which immediately condensed into a sword similar to the dragon buster he used back at the war with Riga.

n“Today’s lesson will be teamwork, in a one versus one fight none of you can beat me, Aria’s soul attacks are harmless for me, and my body is tougher than you Alice, not to mention that my spirit energy reserves are above you two combined”.

nAster then pointed at his dick before saying in a playful voice.

n“If you two want this “sword” instead of the one in my hands, then you’ll have to fight for it”.

nNeedless to say, but Alice and Aria were speechless, they didn’t notice Aster seeing them when they were fighting against Sarina, so they totally didn’t expect him to think about something like this for a date.

nAlice was specially annoyed, it would have been good to know before so she could use a different kind of outfit, but on the other hand she knew Aster never did unnecessary things, specially when it had to do with the family.

nShe exchanged gazes with Aria and saw her nodding, then two different spirit energies flooded the area, black flames at the right and white frost at the left, Alice manifested the golden armor on herself, while Aria added Rigel flames to the mix.

nDue to Alice’s flames the glaciers started to melt, while Rigel’s flames froze the nearby volcanos.

nAster nodded, and then the three of them became flashes which collided not too long after.

n“Booom!!!”.

nA huge explosion of spirit energy was created due to the collision, people around the whole Iron Mountain planet looked at the ground as they felt it trembling, but then they discarded the thought, the ground of the planet was so rich in minerals and was so compacted that in its whole history there has never been an earthquake which affects more than a few square kilometers… at least not one natural.

nBack at the place where the volcanos and glaciers met, the scene was like a disaster a fountain of water was created thanks to the ice melting and a thick mist raised due to the sudden change in the temperature of the blazing volcanos to become frozen mountains.

nIn the middle of all that, floating a few meters from the ground Aster’s broadsword was clashing against Alice’s sword and Aria’s rapier, but the result wasn’t what they expected, even with their strengths combined Aster was pushing them backwards.
