Without wasting any more seconds, Lyon focused his mind and prepared his spatial spell. It didn't take him five minutes before the magic brand formed in front of him.

"Ah well, I guess Nostria is the furthest I can go at the moment," laughed Lyon.

Karina furrowed her eyebrows at the location revealed behind the magic brand before she faced her one of a kind student, "Is that a bathtub? Did you just connect the space to a bathroom?!"

Lyon turned rigid, he knew where the place leading up to was but how could he explain that it was Sylviana's bathroom.

"Uh, I could only connect, to places that I have been before," said Lyon with his fingers crossed.

"That pink-themed bathroom? Do you mean that you've been to a pink-themed bathroom?" said Karina with her hands on her waist.

"Y-yeah, it's my bathroom!" answered Lyon as he tried to hide his hesitation. (Goddamnit, why would I opened the spatial space to her bathroom! I'm too excited).

Karina squinted her eyes as Lyon couldn't guess if she believed his explanation or not.

"We will talk about this later," said Karina as she about to enter the magic brand.

*crack

The moment Karina made contact with the magic brand, it cracked and ruptured, falling to the ground as bits of lights before dispersing. The shattering moment didn't even take a second to activate as the magic immediately nullified into its normal state. It was as if Lyon's spell was never activated in the first place.

"Eh?" Lyon was surprised before a crazy thought ran into his mind.

"Ah! I see! So that's it!" said Lyon with a bulb of light shimmering on top of his head.

"What?" asked Karina who was still confused.

"Teacher! Don't you know what your power truly encompassed within?! Anti-mana!" said Lyon with much excitement.

Karina furrowed her eyebrows with a hint of confusion planted on her face. She already knew that from that elder mole and his dragon grandfather.

"That's explains everything, why could my True Dragon Blessing be negated by you, and why you could shatter Scabbard and Spatial Desire with just a touch! It's because anti-mana is the polar opposite of mana! If they touched each other, they would reset their state into nothingness."

Karina came into realization of something more horrifying from his explanation, horrifying, for her foes.

"That means, no magic nor arts, could harm me," muttered Karina who looked at her own two hands.

"Exactly," nodded Lyon before he continued, "And likewise, you couldn't use arts nor magic that used mana as its fuel either."

"I knew you would get it," a voice perked both of their ears as a true dragon descended from the sky.

"Grandpa!" greeted Lyon with delight.

"Uh, um, greetings eld-"

"You should also call me grandpa, haha!" laughed Long with his long whiskers occasionally waving.

Karina couldn't help but having a red hue on her cheeks before she timidly nodded. In front of such a mighty being, anyone would be timid most even prostrated before saying anything.

"However, that doesn't mean that you cannot use art or magic, I mean the fact that you broke Elemental Realm should have proven that you still have your affinities," explained Long.

The true dragon closed its eyes for a while before continuing, "I'm sorry but I cannot be more of help, anti-mana is not my forte, if we find 'him' then surely without a doubt 'he' would teach you how."

There was only one 'he' that the true dragon was referring to. The one that capable of beating him in battle in a drunken state. The elusive figure that was famed for his mischievous deeds.

"What's his name?" asked Lyon.

Long grinned as he said, "Bastard Sun!"

Lyon laughed as he thought (He won't miss a chance to insult him, will he?).

Karina tugged Lyon's cloth before he understood what she meant. There was still an ongoing war that they should join.

"Grandpa, we need to go to the war."

Long nodded, "Be careful out there, swoon the ladies and kill the enemies haha!"

Karina had black lines across her head as she thought (Ah, I guess I see why he would be such a perverted man).

"You bet!" answered Lyon with a thumb up before both of them departed.

"Oh, one more thing Lyon,"

Lyon stopped his track before turning back, "What is it, grandpa?"

"The lass's mother will be coming in a few days, you might want to visit this place after the war,"

Lyon knew who he was talking about as his vision stayed at the beautiful lake for a while. A beautiful woman was cursed by her own mother not to stepped outside of this place.

He nodded, "Tell her that I will surely be coming!"

"I know you would!" answered Long before both of them went on their separate ways.

-------------------------

On the road, both of them were running at inhuman speed toward Nostria.

"Lyon, why don't you go first with your spatial magic?" asked Karina.

With his capabilities, surely he would be more than capable to reach to the battlefield before her. A space element cultivator was already rare, a good one was even rarer.

"Nope, I'm sure they could handle them for few minutes without us besides,"

Lyon looked to the front as an army was also marching toward Nostria. The swallow symbol on their banner belonged to no one else but the kingdom he was familiar with.

Karina was surprised to see the famed Luderia's kingdom aiding their conquest.

"Not only that,"

Further north, a banner with a tiger symbol was waved as a young princess accompanied by her queen and king led the army.

(Oh damn, I forgot) thought Lyon as he saw the forces were actually facing each other instead of fusing their strength.

"Princess Luna? What is the Phantera Kingdom doing here?" asked Princess Aelina from the Luderia's side.

"Hmm? Princess Aelina? We are here to aid Nostria in their war of course!" asked Princess Luna.

"Then we are at the same cause, we too are aiding Nostria with their conquest personally because of Lyon's request," said Princess Aelina calmly.

Luna had her left eyes twitch as she heard her saying his name. "O-Oh! We are also here in his request,"

Both of them furrowed their eyebrows as they stared at each other. Both of their statuses were even as tension built up between them.
