Currently Guy, Velzard and Leon were standing Infront of a massive glass dome in which the size could be comparable to the frost palace.
"Oh my god, what the fuck is this?!" Velzard was in awe at the sheer size of this…thing.
They suddenly heard a voice, they looked to their side and found a man walking out of the adjacent building talking the child in his arms.
"The elementals have been growing quite stea-oh." As I was talking to Shizu while walking to the ranch until I saw 3 figures that I was not expecting, I swear that even king Gazel's appearance I would've predicted before Shizu's lord, my teacher and my… friend? I still don't know how to classify us.
Shizu noticed my bewilderment at the arrivals, "Mr. Simon, who are these people?"
"They are…"
"I'm his wife." Before I could introduce Velzard, she finished her own introduction for herself.
My mind broke for a second from her declaration, "ah Um, you know what sure. Shizu, this is my wife." I said to Shizu which caused her to look surprised. She had never mentioned me having a spouse, but she was smart enough to know the situation at hand which made her come to the most accurate conclusion.
"Are you really married, or are you just presenting yourself as his wife?" Shizu's words caused Velzard to freeze for a couple seconds. She looked at ME pouting, dafuq did I do wrong.
I just sighed, "This is the true dragon Velzard and that is my teacher."
"Oh cool." Shizu replied absent mindedly until his words finally clicked in, "Wait, the true dragon Velzard… and your teacher… meaning the first ever demon lord?" Shizu crookedly turned her head to me, as if looking for some help, "AHHHHH!!!"
Shizu jumped out of my arms and hid behind my legs. She trusted them because of Simon's account of them but meeting the current strongest demon lord and true dragon would still make you weary.
" Who is this Simon?" Velzard asked which caused Leon to respond.
" Her name is Shizu and she's under me. I've employed Simon to be a temporary tutor, although I doubt he actually taught her anything." Leon spoke of me with exasperation.
I looked at Leon was annoyance and I looked at Shizu with determination and whispered to her, " Show him what I taught you." Shizu nodded to me with a smug smile.
Shizu immediately came out from behind my legs and held her hands in a way that looks like she was holding an invisible ball and she began chanting, "KA…ME…" Her hands began holding a ball of black fire, " HA…ME…" the ball began condensing and spiraling causing it to emit a bigger black and white glow, " HAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
Leon was blasted with a vaporising beam of black light, burning him and everything in his path. Velzard and Guy had to squint their eyes at the bright light emitted from the beam while I had already put on sunglasses to negate the effects.
Shizu's attack ended causing there to be a shallow trench carved into the forest. Leon was lying on the ground, not physically harmed but clearly annoyed. Shizu turned towards me with excitement, " Did I do good, did I!?"
" You did incredibly Shizu, although I wouldn't recommend using that in an actually battle, it takes too long to charge up and also extremely energy inefficient, one use would almost completely deplete your mana reserves." I recommended to the excited Shizu.
Leon appeared Infront of us, "What was that?"
"The result of my tutoring, you jackass." I said as matter-of-factly to Leon, "Next time, don't accuse me of not doing my job."
"Can we go inside now? I'm interested to see what you created in there." Guy said with a bit of excitement.
————————————————
The three powerhouses walked in and were amazed by the varying landscapes that combined together into a symbiotic ecosystem, for example, the oceanic ecosystem for water spirit cultivation and the mountinous ecosystem for earth spirit cultivation merged in between them into a muddy swampland. Another thing that they noticed was that the space inside has expanding itself meaning the inside was bigger than the outside.
They saw a bunch of different elementals crossing over to each other exchanging items and bounties from their respective ecosystems. They could see areas where elementals were using their respective attributes to perform alchemy, there was a visible sparring ground that had an earth and fire elemental sparring against each other.
" What… the… hell." Leon spoke frightenedly while Velzard and Guy were awe struck and frankly impressed. They knew Simon was an enigma to the cardinal world but even this was a bit much.
Shizu began running to the Dryad exhibit once again in which I followed her.
"Hello lord Simon! Hello Shizu!" We were immediately greeted by the new-born Dryad named Aisha.
When she was born, or more accurately evolved, Treyni immediately called me over. I had thought it was to build her a mobile body, which it was, but it was mainly to give her name. I asked her why and she seemed adamant due to the fact that I created her and because she was aware of that and wouldn't accept a name from anyone but me.
Leon and Guy felt uncomfortable being here, not just because of the sheer scale of this project that when fully developed could rival most nations but also because of the sheer amount of natural energy in the air that even made the primordial feel goosebumps.
" Simon, what exactly do you intend to do with this?" Guy asked cautiously.
"What do I intend?" I began contemplating his question and came to a singular conclusion, "mhmmm, nothing really. I just wanted to test the limits of what I can achieve." I spoke sincerely, "Also, didn't Leon tell you he helped me with this?"
Velzard and Guy looked at Leon with an accusitory gaze, "Wow Leon, and you wanted to put all the blame on Simon. Maybe I should give you a fitting punishment." Guy teased with a bit of hopefulness.
"All I did was teach him about natural energy. I knew he would do something innovative with that knowledge but I didn't think it be this." Leon defended himself out of fear of what Guy will do.
"Need not worry, this was all me." I defended Leon to the best of my abilities.
