Chapter 2248: How To Train Your Dragons 4

"Now, Triton! You either do this, or your soul is getting destroyed! I know this is harsh, my boy, but I promised your mother I would make you as strong as I can!"
"Dammit! Dammit! GAAAAHHHHHH!"
Triton roared in pain and rage, as his body began to glow. From within, a smaller purple and red ethereal dragon surged, freeing itself from his body as if it were a discarded husk.
"There it is! You did it!"
"I-I did...?! Woah! Why am I so small now?! Wait, this is the form...! Ugh, this is worse than before! My mind is everywhere! Aagh...!"
"Triton, calm down! Stay focused! Use the meditation technique I taught you! Now!"
"Uuugghhh!"
Triton gritted his teeth, slowly calming down. Even though it was still very hard, he was now his own bare soul, made of pure Magic Power.
His power was immense, radiating several auras of magic power in various colors, leaving Drake amazed by what he witnessed.
He always thought Spirits were the only beings that could ever be close to "something entirely made of Magic," but he was wrong now.
Triton, technically, was something beyond even Spirits, an entity purely and solely composed of Magic Power that had only grown exponentially as he developed.
He was unique in every regard!
"This is amazing, Triton! You’re incredible! This is your True Soul, composed entirely of Magic Power. This was the basic element your mother used to create your soul, but also her blood. That crimson color mixed in is her own blood, which has been turned into pure ethereal essence," Drake explained. "It’s astonishing. You’re truly the most unique dragon I’ve ever seen."
"Aaaahh...! I feel dizzy!" he said angrily. "I’m going to beat you down with this and sleep!"
"Hahaha! Right, you have to train! Bring along your other Soul Body. I’ll fight you both!" Drake nodded.
Triton, using both his Soul Body and his True Soul as separate entities he could control at will, attacked Drake, rapidly learning how to fight in this manner.
His True Soul focused solely on destructive magic attacks from afar, as it was quite frail and small, while his Soul Body concentrated on tanking blows, distracting his opponent, and punching as hard as he could.
It was incredibly versatile, pushing Drake more and more. He had to slowly adjust his power, until his Doppelganger body went all-out, and even then, he was only able to overwhelm Triton after several minutes of fighting.
"Haaah... I’m exhausted..." Triton complained. "Please no more..."
"What are you talking about?! This is just starting!" Drake laughed. "Soul Heal!"
F L A A A S H !
Triton was fully healed, returning to his base form as the child he truly was, surprised that he had been completely restored and even revitalized. His strength grew exponentially after fighting so intensively.
"I’m back to full power!" he said with surprise.
"Indeed," Drake nodded. "Now we’re going to train your base form. The stronger it becomes, the stronger your True Soul will also be! Let’s begin!"
As Triton continued training, the most promising young dragon in history, Celene was also with Drake above the moon of his Divine Realm, showcasing her dragon form, which she had not transformed into before.
F L A A A S H !
Her form was manifested amidst a cloud of pink and purple dust. Her body was long, but not serpent-like, as she had a distinct torso, long legs and arms, a long neck, and a majestic dragon face with spiraling, goat-like silver horns.
Her eyes were calm and pink, as were her scales, which were a light metallic pink. She had a large pair of wings that glistened brightly with metallic pink hues. Her scale armor was sleek, making her appear quite aerodynamic.
Moonlight Dragons originally lived on the Moon, so their bodies were adapted to float in space, their streamlined forms making it easy to move in areas with zero gravity.
"Oh, your appearance is quite amazing!" Drake said. "You’re a lot like your grandmother."
"Ahaha, you’re flattering me too much, Drake," Celene laughed. "Alright, shall I show you what I can do? I would like for us to spar, but please go easy on me..."
"Of course," Drake nodded, floating in front of her. "I’ll begin! How about some magic to start with?"
Drake quickly surprised her, as he unleashed his Nebula Domain. Hundreds of stars made of various elements manifested instantly, raining down toward Celene from every angle!
"Hahah, well, that’s perfect."
Her eyes shone brightly, as her magic manifested, quickly taking the form of dozens of gigantic mirrors floating around her.
"{Moonlight Mirror}!"
FLAAASH!
The mirrors rotated rapidly around her, and to Drake’s surprise, did something quite incredible. They began to absorb his magic and then reflect it back at him, protecting her seamlessly while bombarding him.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"W-Wait a second- AAACK!"
Drake screamed as he was bombarded with all the spells he fired, to the point only explosions covered him, until he finally stopped.
"I-I’m so sorry! Are you okay?"
Celene grew worried, as Drake emerged amidst the cloud of smoke, looking charcoal black, all toasty, making Celene let out a chuckle.
"Pfff... Hahah... S-Sorry...!"
Although Drake looked slightly annoyed, he smiled lightly, cleaning the burnt scales and skin from his body as new skin and scales had already grown beneath the charred wounds.
"No, that was pretty amazing," he said. "So that’s your ability? Mirrors that reflect all magic? Even a Divine Ability I created by fusing many Divine Abilities together wasn’t enough to overcome them..."
"Yes, these Mirrors are part of my lineage, but I’ve adapted and developed them in new ways, as you saw before," she explained. "All Moonlight Dragons are born with their own Moon Mirror, and as we grow, it is possible to develop even more. My mother said I was born with great talent... and I’ve gone through quite a lot of challenges in my early days."
