The Abandoned Valley Of Poison
'This is it, don't mess it up'
Austin, who had left home looked much more mature and sure, the pains of the past interactions were washed away, as the journey had helped him become much more ruthless and cruel and had it opened his eyes to how lucky he had been to be born a noble, especially in the loving family of Lionhearts,
"Is Celestinia in there?"
Austin asked, seemingly into thin air but somehow a voice replied,
"She is, right now she's hurt and fighting, soon her powers will be locked down by the Dragon God"
The voice was beautiful and sweet and it was tinged with love for Austin, pure and cray love but he wasn't taken back by it, a loving smile came to his face as he prepared,

"Good, couldn't have done this without you Vena"
He replied,
"Anything for you hubby~~"
Vena's reply filled his ears again, soon he focused on the task at hand, his plans for Celestinia were already in play, the fight for her will be a long one but thanks to him having Vena at his side, he's able to make a much more clear plan for Celestinia, with Vena's help he had lured Celestinia into one of the hidden treasure blessing locations of the Dragon God.
And just like he had hoped, the admirer of the Dragon God had gone in at full sweep, not knowing that she was jumping into a trap, all the pieces were set now it was time for him to act,
'Here I come...'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, within the vast created sub-world, Celestinia kept fighting against the opponent in front of her, a copy of the past Dragon God, it was it with powers before it had ascended the steps of Godhood, Celestinia who admired the person and wished to reach his level of powers had come here to gain a sense of recognition for herself.
But her clouded pride had dealt a huge blow to her, the copy in front of her was far beyond her level!
Boom!
A humongous blast hit Celestinia blasting her away, in the last moment she had created a barrier to lessen the effect of the blast, right now her white dress had stains upon them, the current Celestinia looked not much different from the past, just some parts of her body looked less developed while unchecked pride filled her eyes.
Unlike the future much more mature version, the current her was far more arrogant, the gaze that nothing could match her filled her entire being,
"Not bad...."
A tired voice left her mouth, even now her face couldn't be seen, the veil she wore was a treasure that couldn't be moved or destroyed unless she willed for it, the veil would hide her face and only show it to one she deemed of worth,
"Too arrogant"
The voice of the copy was heard, it shaking its head, a sense of pity filled its eyes making Celestinia's pride flair up,
"We will see whose arrogant when I beat you up"
Celestinia spoke, trying to rile up her idol but she was mistaken in this regard, the figure in front of her was hidden, nothing about it could be seen,
"Let me show you my arrogance"
The Dragon God copy spoke and just as it did a humongous pressure landed on Celestinia making her eyes widen, the mana that always moved to her will was no longer under her control, for the first time she felt utterly crushed, no longer does she feel any of the blessings of mana, a feeling of being stripped naked filled her,
"Maybe this will bring down your pride a bit"
Just as the Dragon God finished speaking a lock sign shined upon Celestinia's forehead, before it flew into her body, taking away a gift that had been with her for life,
"Um?"
Suddenly the confused voice of the dragon God was heard, seemingly as if in thought it spoke as its eyes focused on Celestinia,
"Maybe this might help you turn better"
Just as it finished speaking it waved its hand throwing Celestinia whose pride was hurt away, a feeling of loss filled her and the next moment she opened her eyes she was in a forest, her feet touched the ground but she was missing the key power that had followed her.
She was unable to feel mana!
All her strength was sipped away, what was left was only her tough dragon body which wasn't feeling as powerful as it should be,
"Grrr....grrr...."
The sound of growling filled Celestinia's ears making her eyes harden, before her now stood at least 5 wolves with grey fur, each of them being at Origin Level 4, before just a glance from her was enough to drive these mongrels away but now she was powerless, her arrogance in herself, not letting her bring any help, weapon or healing artifact.
Right now everything about her was nerfed, every blessing she was born with stripped away from her reach but she wasn't even given time to think before which one of the wolves jumped upon her, out of pure reflex Celestinia raised her hand causing the wolf to bite on it, due to her defense it didn't cut through but the pain of being bitten still filled her.
Just as the first attacked so did the rest, seeing that its comrade couldn't bite through the rest jumped on to help, one biting towards her legs while the others, went for her shoulder, the pain of being bitten everywhere was filling her,
'These mongrels dare!'
A vicious expression was filling her face but she couldn't do anything, all of her powers were locked away, and these beasts were trying to feast upon her, their foul smell filling her nose, while their weight was crushing upon her taking her down, she was slowly losing, losing to the very monsters that would run away just from her aura!
Splash!
But it was then the sound of blood being drawn was heard as one of the wolves screamed out in pain the very first one as it let go of Celestinia's arms, soon the sound of a sword being waved was heard, as the crises of wolves resounded out, each one letting go of their bite as they took their last breath,
'What's happening?'
Celestinia who was drowned by the beasts was confused for a moment before a rough voice, clearly disguised was heard,
"Are you alright?"
Soon within her vision, a cloaked person appeared, its height less than her as he gave her his hand, Celestinia was confused for a moment before which she regained her wits,
"Yes I am fine"
She spoke as she stood up not taking the arm that was extended to her, the pride that was hurt unwilling to take the help of someone she knew was weaker than her.
While the person whose help was denied didn't say anything as he shrugged his shoulder and took his hand back,
"What's your name?"
Celestinia asked clearly trying to put on her dominance,
"Isn't it a basic manner to say your name before asking for another?"
The cloaked asked back, clearly not backing out, making Celestinia frown, she knew that her current situation is not well,
"My name is Celestinia"
She spoke,
"My name is Robin"
The cloaked figure replied, thus landing silence between then,
"Is this your real name?"
Celestinia asked, to which the cloaked figure looked at her, she couldn't see through the darkness that surrounded his face,
"That doesn't affect you and you clearly don't know how to be nice to a person that saved your life"
"I wasn't in danger"
She readily replied,
"Sure...."
The cloaked figure replied as he started to walk away.
