Chapter 153: World's Best Dad

Chapter 153: World's Best Dad

It had been nearly a week since Ira had witnessed the progress of Charles experiments. After seeing it all he had to admit that he was a little impressed with the results. The bloodline enhancement, the inscription arrays, and a new project which somehow involved the barrels of Behemoths blood were all things that would lead to tremendous growth.

The biggest problem of the Dark Elves was the relatively small population when compared to other countries. Of course, Ira found an easy solution. One that he shared with Sylun while carrying Raveria on his shoulders.

Keeper, if Im understanding you correctly...You wish to bring races from the continent of...Yeramesh...to the Underground City? Sylun asked.

Yup, there are a lot of Half-Dragons who dont have any parents. Ill bring them here and once they grow up...Well, you get where Im going. Dragons blood is quite potent and it could fix a lot of problems if it's introduced into a few thousand bloodlines. Ira replied while ignoring Raveria who was messing with his hair.

Thats a wonderful idea, Keeper. If I may ask, how will you get them here?

Ill send them to the temple. It shouldnt be a problem since its for me, right? Ira inquired.

Not at all, Keeper. Well make preparations as soon as you give the word.

Oh, then...You can start right now. I plan on going to Yeramesh today. As soon as Ira finished speaking Raveria broke out into a tantrum.

No! She pulled at his hair while kicking her legs. You cant go!

Ira remained unfazed by his daughters assault and spoke, Do you want to come with me?

Raveria stopped pulling his hair and immediately nodded.

Ok Ira said with a smile. ...We just have to ask your Mother, he added with a quiet whisper.

Farewell, Keeper. Sylun bowed.

Ira nodded in response before he and Raveria vanished from sight. They were off to search for Avery in order to get her permission to leave.

No, Avery said plainly.

Raverias face instantly puffed up with anger and disbelief as she looked at her mother, Why?!

Its too dangerous. And werent you supposed to be training her, Ira? Avery shifted her focus toward Ira.

Yeah...This is also apart of her training, Ira put on his best straight face as he spoke. Unfortunately, Avery wasnt gullible enough to believe his words for a second.

Is it? Could you explain to me how going to another continent will help her grow her power? If its to teach her how to fight I can handle that myself. If its to let her kill people, monsters, and creatures, there are more than enough of those on this continent.

Ira quickly tried to think of a few things to say in response and was visibly taken aback by Averys counter-argument. He looked to Raveria who gave him a pitiful look that he couldnt withstand.

Its uh...You see, uh...So, Raveria is young...And um Even though he tried his hardest, Ira couldnt find a single convincing thing to say.

"Who left that sword over there? It's not even sheathed." Ira pointed behind Avery with a confused expression.

Avery turned around to look but saw nothing except furniture.

Quick let's go! Ira picked up Raveria and teleported away before Avery could stop him.

Avery sighed before pinching the bridge of her nose with slight annoyance. After a few moments, she laughed to herself and shook her head.

Ira and Raveria appeared out of nowhere and landed in the middle of some empty mountain range.

Whew, Ira exhaled a breath of relief.

Um...wont Mom be mad? Raveria asked with concern.

At the same time, the children were brought into the room even though they caused it to be crowded. At the forefront was Kaidan and Amelia who moved toward Ira in a hurry.

Is it time for my training? Kaidan asked without even noticing the little girl at Iras side. He had packed on quite a lot of muscle mass due to his consumption of dragons flesh but what was more surprising was the fact that he managed to survive.

Hmm, Im already training her though. Ira pointed to Raveria.

Hmph, Raveria made a proud expression. Although she was less than half of Kaidans age she was far more powerful.

Kaidan looked at Raveria and then spoke, If I can beat her will you train me?

Ira laughed at Kaidan while shaking his head. Thats an interesting thought. Raveria?

It seemed like Ira agreed without worry but if Kaidan managed to actually hurt Raveria a grim fate would be waiting for him.

Ill do it, Dad. Raveria was eager to show off in front of Ira so she nodded with vigor.

Alright, all you have to do is push her over, Ira said to Kaidan with a smile.

For some reason, Kaidan had a flashback to Iras first test which he failed. By now it was obvious that anything Ira said was easy would be incredibly difficult.

Im ready, Kaidan said.

Right as he finished speaking, Raveria closed the distance before a single second could pass and appeared behind Kaidan. She raised her hand and pressed her small hand on his back which caused him to slam into the floor.

Uehk! A strange sound emerged from Kaidans mouth as he processed the huge shock. Then, Kaidan raised up and slammed into the floor again in the same exact manner. It repeated again and again until Kaidan became bloodied. Ira knew that Raveria looped time and used it as a way to attack.

Easy there, Ria. Ira waved his hand and Raveria undid the loop.

Kaidan plopped onto the ground and breathed heavily, indicating he was still alive.

Did I win? Raveria inquired with clear expectation.

You did and it was amazing. Ira smiled as he ruffled Raverias hair.

Kaidan! Amelia knelt down to her brothers side with tearful eyes.

Oh, Raveria, can you fix him? Ira asked politely.

Raveria nodded before raising and reversing Kaidens wounds.

W-What just happened Kaidan climbed to his feet and examined his own body before looking at Raveria with a horrified expression.

Theres your first lesson, kid. Dont ever challenge my daughter. Ira turned his attention to the quiet spectators who he almost forgot about. Even Virgil was speechless at Raverias brief demonstration. He couldnt track the movements of Iras daughter let alone comprehend the nature of her abilities.

Ehem. Ira cleared his throat and spoke bluntly. A lot of you followed me in the City of Clouds so Im assuming your parents are dead. Even if they arent you should just assume they are because Im not going to go looking for them. So now youll be going to the place youll be calling home for the rest of your lives...However long that is.

A few kids started crying after hearing his words and the rest all had saddened expressions but Ira didnt mind it all, in fact, he felt as if he was helping them. He clapped his hands once and the group of kids, including Kaidan and Amelia, all disappeared but probably emerged in the Underground Citys Temple.

Alright, Raveria. Lets go find some Lares. Ira took the map Virgil wrote on and stored it away before lifting up his daughter. Hopefully I can teach you a few new things.

Raveria smiled innocently which made Ira even happier with his daughter.

Virgils eyes flashed with fear as he looked at Ira and Raveria. He even wondered if it was the wrong decision to seek Iras help in the first place but it was far too late to turn back time. All he could hope was that Ira would follow through with what he said and dismantle the Dragons who ruled over the other races.

As if reading Virgils mind Ira turned to him and spoke Oh, Ill kill a few more Dragons and help you out a little. It should be good training for Raveria too.

Virgil could only shudder in response as he imagined the fates of those involved with the Father and Daughter duo.
