While the bloody fight between Ryuran and Dawn continued, Erisha began awakening.
Erisha tried sitting up but the moment she moved a sharp pain came from her head.
Her face quickly distorted, but nonetheless she pushed through the pain.
Once on her feet she checked her body for any permenant damage.
Other then her head, nothing seemed to cause her pain.
Looking around, Erisha noticed that she was in Drell's office.
But the oni himself was nowhere to be seen.
Thus, taking this oppertunity, she crouched down and began looking through the papers that were scattered on the ground.
Meanwhile, Drell was observing the fight between Dawn and Ryuran on a large projection on the wall.
He made mental notes in his mind while at thebsame time making adjustments to his gift to the berserker.
"Such ferocity!" Drell said outloud with an amazed voice.
Just from watching Drell could feel his body heating up.
At the same time his hands moved as fast as they could to write down any data he deemed useful.
Using this data he will make adjustments to the weapon floating infront of him.
"Increasing durability so that it wont break under the use of incredible might. At the same time decreasing weight so it wont hinder the user." Drell mumbled to himself.
Suddenly an error message popped up before him.
"Damn it!"
The materials have all been depleted, meaning that no adjustments can be made as of now.
"It dosen't matter. I can do it later." Drel thought to himself.
Drell continued watching the fight with amazed eyes and an open mouth.
He basked in the brutal fight infront of him.
So much infact that the only thing that made him avert his eyes was the cold edge of Erisha's blade against his neck.
"What is the meaning of this?" Drell asked in a cold tone.
Erisha didn't reply.
Instead she tossed a folder infront of him.
When Drell glanced at it he knew what was going on.
"I can explain."
"You better or everything will burn."
What the folder contained was a detailed analysis of Cain's body and condition.
During Erisha's training sessions Drell had teleported in to their room and ran some tests.
"It was to better understand the curse."
"To my knowlage your so called "scans" can't give you information on curses."
Drell could feel Erisha's gaze becoming colder on his neck.
"Can I turn around to face you? It is quite scary talking to you with my back turned."
After a shor pause Erisha responded.
"You may."
With that Drell slowly turned around.
However, once he did Erisha's eyes widened as Drell suddenly opened his mouth, revealing a ball of light that shot towards Erisha at an alarming speed.
The ball smashed in to Erisha's face and stunned her just long enough for Drell to summon a burst of wind that pushed the elf away.
Following that Drell clapped his hands together which activated the crystals on the cieling and light up the whole room.
By the time Erisha stood up Drell has already prepeared 3 fireballs which hovered around him.
"You need to calm down! I don't want to fight you!"
"Your actions thus far have proved the contrary!"
"How would you feel if someone appeared behind you with a sword to your throat? From my point of veiw I am just defending myself."
"You ran tests on my brother without consent! You even took several sanples of his blood!"
"Damn so she even found those." Drell said in his mind.
"Can I explain myself? Or will you succumb to the dark thoughts in the back of your mind?"
"Don't you dare use my curse to manipulate me oni! I demand you destroy the remaining data you have on my brother!"
"Wait, remaining?"
In that moment a dark thought entered Drell's mind.
"You, what did you do?" He asked with a shaky voice.
Erisha didn't reply.
"I asked what did you do!?"
"I destroyed the any data I could find about my brother, but it would take me only a thought to destroy everything in that room. So I advise you to do as I say."
Drell sighed in relif as he felt a boulder fell off of his heart.
If she destroyed everything in his office then years of reserch and important data would be lost.
Normally she couldnt have accessed the drawers because they were protected by magic, but it is most likely that she used her darkness to break the spell.
That was something he should keep in mind.
Its a shame it turned out like this.
He wanted to study the blood of a royal elf but the data he gathered was also just as valuable.
"Fine, I accept your demand."
With that, Drell snapped his fingers and the light balls illuminating the room disappeared, while Erisha lowered her sword.
Meanwhile the fight between Dawn and Ryuran became more and more intense as they ravaged through the underground.
First they fought in Ryuran's mansion then infront of it and now they smashed in to the arena.
Dawn was the one on top which allowed him to put Ryuran on the defensive.
However it did not take long for her to see a gap and try to exploit it by punching Dawn, but in the next moment Dawn grabbed her arm and preformed an armbar on her.
Ryuran grunted as Dawn began pulling her arm which caused it to dislocate.
In the next moment Ryuran channeled her mana in to her right arm and manifested her lightning magic which began frying Dawn alive.
Dawn reacted to this by letting go of her arm and rolling backwards to stand up.
With her arm free Ryuran stood up and with the sound of cracking she fixed her arm.
"What are you doing Dawn~?" Ryuran asked with a surprisingly sweet tone.
"Are you still refusing to use your red mist from before? You should have enough fuel to not suffer from that rapid aging."
It was surprising even for Dawn to hear this coming from Ryuran.
While she didn't know the exact power Dawn was using, Ryuran knew it wasent mana since she didn't feel it whrn Dawn was attacking.
"I will not use it."
"But why~? It was so much fun when you did!"
"If I did then this area would collapse from our clashes."
"Oh right, this arena is in a pretty bad shape after our last fight."
Ryuran sighed.
Fighting Dawn was fun, but if they couldn't use their full power then it was meaningless.
"Ugh- way to ruin the mood Kazamir!"
With that Ryuran turned around and began heading back to her mansion.
With that Dawn was left alone in the middle of the sandy arena.
Dawn raised his hand and looked at it with a stern face.
Then he manifested the red mist.
Berserk, a technique he was all to familiar with.
During the war he had to use it for days without stopping.
But back then he had access to the life force of the demons he slayed.
This was the first stage of the technique, SHOCK.
It granted an increase to the user's streanght, speed and endurance.
It was simple and effective.
Suddenly Dawn could hear someone approaching him from the direction of Ryuran's mansion.
It was Erisha.
"Is it time?" Dawn asked.
Erisha nodded as a response which Dawn returned.
Dawn then turned around and with Erisha beside him, they began walking towards the gates of Geiza.
