“Let’s have the spar between Wyba and your daughter and then we will leave, I am in quite a bad mood right now.”
Yale wasn’t sure if he would be able to avoid killing that woman if she started speaking again after awakening, so the best was to start the spar, and when the spar ended, they would leave the town.
“I need to battle with that wolf girl?”
The man’s daughter was too influenced by her mother, but she wasn’t so foolish to make angry her father while he was still stronger than her.
However, she also despised Wyba in her heart and thought that it would be an easy battle in which she would be able to trash her opponent.
Even if the tiger-bloodline girl didn’t speak, her eyes showed that she didn’t consider the battle as difficult and didn’t recognize Wyba as a worthy opponent.
She considered that Yale was stronger than herself because he was older than her, but nothing more, against a wolf bloodline girl of her age, she considered their chances of losing equal to zero.
The four of them walked towards a big plaza in the town, the place where the two little girls would battle.
“Wyba, give your all. Originally, I didn’t bother about the result, but after seeing how mother and daughter despise us, we need to show them that the Frost Wolves aren’t weaklings. Teach her a lesson.”
Yale transmitted those words directly to Wyba’s mind. Yale wasn’t a Frost Wolf nor a half-beast, but he felt indebted with Wyba’s mother and cared a lot about Wyba, and for him, she was his real little sister. Thus, Yale couldn’t forgive how they had disrespected the Frost Wolves.
“You can both start the battle, remember that this is a spar for improving yourselves and not for harming the other.”
The man said that, but he knew very well his daughter’s temper and how Wyba was enraged after all those words against the Frost Wolves, he guessed that probably he and Yale would need to stop the battle at some point to avoid them hurting each other too much.
No one else dared to appear in the plaza, only Yale and the man were looking at the battle, both of them were at the Novice Rank, the other people in the town didn’t dare to be in the same place as them if they weren’t invited first.
Wyba and the other girl were ready to battle, but the tiger girl didn’t like to start the battle without attacking her opponent’s mind first.
“I will beat you like the lowly wolf you are. Maybe you can die like your mother in the hands of an exalted being with a Fire-wood Tiger bloodline.”
The man and Yale also heard those words; the man sighed as he couldn’t do anything to change his daughter’s temper, which had been spoiled due to her mother’s words. On the other hand, Yale didn’t react; he had the same cold gaze since the start.
The tiger girl wanted to enrage Wyba; an enraged opponent would lose the control and become an even easier target.
She didn’t wait until would Wyba react to her words before she attacked, sneak attacks were one of the techniques Fire-wood Tigers liked the most.
However, she didn’t succeed as Wyba intercepted her with a Frost Claw.
Wyba had used ice while the tiger girl had used fire, but Wyba’s ice was far stronger than the fire created by the other girl, the fire was unable to melt the ice.
The answer was something that Yale understood very well, but it would be impossible to understand correctly to others besides him and Wyba.
A Frost Wolf and a Fire-wood Tiger were comparable in power; both were rather normal beasts, they weren’t among the worst but also not among the best. However, due to the element advantage, it could be said that the Fire-wood Tiger had more chances to win.
The real difference in that shock of fire and ice was that Wyba was a Frost Winged Wolf and not a Frost Wolf, a Frost Winged Wolf was species rarer and stronger than the normal ones, even with a disadvantage at the element a Frost Winged Wolf is stronger than a normal beast like a Fire-wood Tiger.
The same applied with the bloodlines, a bloodline of a normal beast or the bloodline of a special one had differences, Wyba’s Frost Claw was far stronger than it should be for a normal Frost Wolf.
The Frost Winged Wolf was considered an extinct species, people suspected that probably some were alive in some part, but mostly the half-beasts with that bloodline obtained it due to a bloodline mutation and not because their ancestor transformed into a half-beast with that bloodline.
For the half-beasts a beast you couldn’t find to refine its bloodline was extinct.
Moreover, the most important point for that difference in power was that Wyba was an Origin Beast, which made that all her skills were more powerful than they should be. It worked in the same way Yale’s Origin Qi turned his skills were more powerful than the ones cast with Inner Qi or magic by dual practitioners.
With all those factors, it was expected that Wyba had an advantage in a frontal struggle.
“A dog dares to attack me? I will kill you!”
It was a great taboo calling dog to anyone with a wolf bloodline, but the tiger girl lost her control and was attacking her madly after those words, but Wyba merely blocked her attacks using almost no effort.
Yale had influenced Wyba’s personality, and subconsciously she had understood how was better to turn angry in a battle. Her mind didn’t turn in a mess with anger, she turned cold and focused on beating the opponent. However, she was still unable to be like that outside battles; she could only control her temper while battling.
The man was about to interfere when her daughter shouted that she was going to kill Wyba, but as Yale didn’t move and Wyba started to stop all the attacks, the man stopped.
Seeing that Wyba was more powerful than his daughter, he was secretly hoping that Wyba beat his daughter enough to heal her spoiled personality.
He was powerful in the area because it was an area without value and even powerful bandits despised it, but being at the Novice Rank wasn’t being powerful in the Anpaes Kingdom.
He should make his wife and daughter understood that before it became too late and Wyba being that strong was a good chance for her daughter learning that she wasn’t unsurpassable.
The tiger girl attacked non-stop until she started to feel tired, but she wasn’t able to injure Wyba even one time. However, Wyba also didn’t harm her.
Wyba focused in defending until her opponent was tired and then she started to cast Ice Spears towards the tiger girl.
With the agility she had at the start of the battle, the tiger girl would have avoided them without difficulties, but as she was already tired, she started to get injured.
“Why? Why can a lowly dog beat me? I have the best bloodline; I am the strongest! One day I will rule the world! I can’t lose against you!”
That was the tiger girl’s ego; she thought that in the world no one would surpass her, those who were stronger than her were only stronger because they were also older and nothing more, she even thought that she would be able to beat her father easily after growing.
Her dream was killing the whole royal family in the Anpaes Kingdom and establish a new kingdom governed by Fire-wood Tigers. After that, she planned to continue conquering other countries and continue until ruling the whole world.
That was an impossible dream with only her bloodline, she may be impressive in a little town, but in the kingdom she was nothing. Those were only delusions of a little girl enhanced by her mother’s distorted reality that they were superior to everyone else.
That day the tiger girl had lost miserably against Wyba, it couldn’t be attached to luck, Wyba had surpassed her in all the areas, it was a unilateral battle, and Wyba wasn’t even tired at the end of the fight.
That lose broke her view of the world completely, and all her confidence disappeared after she finally understood why her father remained to protect such a little town with his power.
She had thought that her father was a fool for having power and not using it to increase his influence like her mother always said, but she understood that the world wasn’t full of weaklings like the other inhabitants of the town.
A girl of her age and realm had managed to beat her without problems and without cheating, it was a fair victory. On the other hand, the tiger girl had lost after trying to disturb the mind of her opponent and launching a sneak attack; she was unable to win even with dishonorable means.
If she had been beaten by someone older than her she would still believe that it was due to the age, but against Wyba there weren’t any excuses, she was weaker than Wyba, that was the only truth.
