Seraphiel's POV
Hearing Calux's words when he said he had a daughter, it felt as if I didn't understand the world.
Wasn't Calux the same age as her?
How did he have a daughter, a B rank daughter for Gods sake.
Celine's voice suddenly boomed with a laugh.
"Pftttt! Calux be more specific! The poor girl is questioning her existence."
I unconsciously look towards Celine with a questioning look as if I was being betrayed by my master.
But then Calux spoke.
"Ugh I'm sorry, it's easier to show than explain now."
"Nyra come out."
Suddenly I felt as if I couldn't breathe.
A natural predator was staring at me and I couldn't see anything but a portal.
Then suddenly a beast with obsidian scales, purple and golden lines in different parts of its body flew out of the portal and looked at me menacingly.
I could see how the beast stared at me like a predator but curled up around Calux's neck possessively.
Calux looked at the beast as if it was speaking with it through their eyes.
Then looking at me Calux spoke.
"This here is my daughter Nyraxis, she was born out of an egg that my aunt left for me as gift, and she is a Empress Void Dragon."
"She is a spirit beast that bonded with me, and we can communicate with our bond. Although when she reached B rank she obtained the telepathy skill, it is still a skill that requires mana and excessive use can cause fatigue mentally, so she will not be communicating actively with you or my mother like she does with me until she can start speaking naturally when she reaches S rank."
I nodded absentmindedly, but my five hundred percent of analytical capacity was in full overdrive analyzing every word that Calux had spoken.
This beast was not a regular contracted beast, it was a spirit beast and she appeared out of a portal, if what I am to assume is correct, it probably has it's own space within Calux or something.
An Emperor level beast means it is at the top of its race, it is the Empress and the absolute leader of the race. There can never be more than one Emperor or Empress type beast at a time.
The most important aspect, its a dragon. Something that doesn't exist in this world.
A Wyvern King class beast is an S rank beast in this world.
It requires multiple S rank awakeners to take it down because of how strong their scales and breath is.
I can't imagine how strong this beast is.
Suddenly, the beast spoke, but it never moved its mouth.
"Hello Seraphiel, its nice to meet you, my father spoke something earlier therefore I know a little bit about your situation, I can see that my grandmother trusts you, but I will tell you now."
"If you ever betray my father, I will destroy you even if I earn his anger."
Gulp.
This was a serious threat, this beast was extremely protective, but I wasn't afraid.
I didn't plan on betraying the family of the benefactor that essentially saved my mother and I, and now have trained me.
"Do not worry, if I ever do, I will have deserved your ire Nyraxis..."
The beast suddenly nodded in my direction, and then flew towards Celine.
"Oh... She can speak to me now, what a sweet voice you have my little child."
Celine was loving the affection of this little beast, I could say for certain, that if I didn't feel so intimidated by it's power, I would definitely be petting it with how beautiful and majestic she is.
Normal POV
"Well now that we're all acquainted, mom I'd like to get into some C rank rifts, as you know Nyra is B rank, and I want to be able to challenge my self with real beasts before the academy starts."
Calux then looked at Seraphiel.
"Whatever core we get I'll give to you, as you heard I don't really need cores thanks to my space, which will always be better because of the increase in gathering, and well for the body... I can tell you I have better ways to train my self."
Both Celine and Seraphiel could feel that Calux's words left something unspoken, but he wasn't about to tell them that he was training the way he did.
His mother would definitely be against it, and the truth of the matter was simple, getting stronger while fighting is way better than just using the cores to strengthen one self.
When you get stronger while gaining ranks like Calux did, he gets used to his body while fighting, therefore even as he ranks up, since he is always fighting about his rank, he indeed gets the best training this way.
He doesn't want to get injured and get hurt on purpose, he needs to train his awareness, and with his newest ability, it got way better.
"Yes, yes.. I had originally prepared only D rank rifts, but two rifts appeared two days ago and I sent our awakeners to guard the rift so that no one would clear it."
Calux was pleasantly surprised, two C rank rifts spawning back to back was a blessing for him and Seraphiel that wanted to try their abilities on strong foes.
Usually rift ranks are assigned by mana signatures, meaning a rift can have a lot of easy to kill D rank beasts and a C rank boss, or fewer beasts most being C ranks, and then a C rank elite boss which is harder to kill.
This repeats itself with any rank of rift that goes above the C rank.
Calux then looked at Seraphiel and smiled.
"Ready to show me what you're made of?"
Seraphiel blushed at his smile, and cursed herself internally for being so emotionally chaotic, too much stuff happened in a short amount of time and her emotions were all over the place, but she quickly composed herself.
"Sure, I'd like to see the Void Sovereign in action as well."
She decided to tease a little.
Celine all the while was grinning from ear to ear while watching this interaction.
Oh dear... Such chemistry...
Oh these youngsters don't even know what awaits their future, there's no coincidences in this life.
