Chapter 128 128: Lord Ashen. Let Nova 'Train' You *



Renji: ".."

-'Did you forget that you are the Empress?'-

It seemed that from the expression on Renji's face, Nova also understood this. She immediately released Renji's hand and then stood up, stepping back a few steps from him.

Then, just as Renji was wondering what the Dragon Lady was going to do, flames spiraled up from under Nova's feet, enveloping her entire body in a blink of an eye.

When the flames faded, and Nova stepped out,Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\

Her original crimson, grand and domineering military uniform and skirt were gone, replaced by a tattered burlap shirt, with no trace of her exquisite combat boots. Instead, she stood barefoot on the ground.

Even more exaggerated was the Dragoness's waterfall red long hair, which also shortened, turning into a bob cut.

And following this, even the towering dragon horns on her head, which were several centimeters long, had shrunk back! They were now just a small nub, the size of half a finger, and could even be submerged in thicker hair, only revealing a little tip of the horn.

"Master... is this okay now?"

"What does subduing 'Empress Nova' have to do with me, 'Nova'?"

(Well for these who didn't understand, she is referring to herself without title as she is a different persona...)

The Dragon Lady turned around in front of Renji, showing off her new look. Although her face hadn't changed much, the change in her aura was significant. At first glance, no one would think she was the Empress of the Dragon Nation, but rather more like a stubborn, demi-human slave warrior.

Indeed.

This was actually her initial appearance in the game, when Nova and he first met, when he first bought Nova at the "Slave Arena"!

'Wow!'

'She can switch back to her previous character design!'

As characters advance in the game, their appearance changes, commonly known as getting a new character design. Each character has Danger, Disaster, and Calamity Rank designs.

If one had to describe Nova's current look, she had changed from a Disaster Rank character design to a Danger Rank design....

'But...'

'Something's off!'

'Way too off!'

'Is this something my naïve Nova would come up with?'

'Since when did Nova become so smart?'

The flames rose again, and Nova returned to her Empress form, as if proving to Renji that she could easily switch between these two "character designs."

'Such "fancy tricks" were definitely not something Nova would have researched on her own. The one who studied these and taught them to her was actually...'

Therefore, the Dragoness still had to protect her master's purity, even if it wasn't so pure anymore. She had to uphold the honor and dignity of the Vanguard!

That's why, relying solely on herself wasn't enough. Nova realized that she needed to start from the 'source' and make the one she's protecting stronger.

So.

"Master... Nova and Suthia had an agreement, we formed an alliance to protect your purity. Since Thia has already taken action, let Nova help you 'train' too, shall we?"

Renji: 'Suthia? Alliance? Training?'

Renji broke into a cold sweat. 'What was all this about?' But the good news was that the 'training' mentioned by the Dragon Lady was different from the previously mentioned strength training. At least he wouldn't be thrown into a pile of monsters. It was a one-on-one 'special tutoring session' with Nova.

But the bad news was...

Nova somehow took out a... pink guidebook?

"This was given to me by Lena. It records many training methods. This made Nova realize that besides the more selfish kind, there are many other ways to help train Master."

The Dragoness, using the light of the oil lamp inside the tent, was earnestly flipping through the "guidebook" studying various training techniques involving hands, feet, and even top-tier methods that required just the use of the mouth to sweep through thousands of enemies.

Uh...

"Nova, look, it's getting late, maybe we should..."

Thump!*

Before Renji could finish speaking, he was pushed down inside the tent by the Nova.

Then, Nova's face took on that cold and clear expression of the Empress again. Even in her brows, she forced a look of disdain, as if she was looking at trash, at the weak, a look of disgust.

While making such a face at her master, Nova's heart was filled with deep guilt, but she had no choice. The manual given by Lena stated that this expression was necessary to achieve the best 'training effect'.

'For master to not to be "bullied" by the others!'

'For our alliance!'

'For the promise I made to Suthia'

Nova decided to cast everything aside and focus solely on 'training' her master!.

lightsnοvεl So, her purple eyes became even more proud, looking down at her master who was still trying to struggle below. The upper half of her crimson military uniform was held high, revealing the fullness of her ample breasts, while the red skirt below subtly swayed, occasionally revealing the whiteness of her thighs.

Of course, the most crucial part was her combat boots. Nova stood on one leg, lifting the other slightly. The Dragon Empress maintained her icy face, imagining herself as the Empress in the Dragon Hall, and in a lofty tone, she asked:

"Master Ashen."

"Do I need to take off the boots, too?"
