Chapter 953: Estre, Skye, Dawn, and Aurelia vs Little Yasenia.


    Estre and the other children looked at it and somewhat understood how it worked. The dragoness looked at them and saw Estre shout. "Two!"


    Kaleina and the girls in the distance looked over, curious. The rest of the children also gazed over.


    After a bolt that fell from the ceiling, two-year-old Yasenia appeared. Estre looked at her mother when she was two years old, and she was surprised. Yasenia was taller by more than half a head, and her body looked much more developed.


    Even as a child, Estre couldn''t help but feel intimidated. She looked at Yasenia and asked. "Um… What do I do now, Mommy?"


    The dragoness approached and crouched by her side with a smile. "The one in front of you is an illusion of Mommy at your age. Can you see Mommy''s and her resemnce?"


    Estre frowned. "I can''t."


    The dragoness blinked and looked at herself. Then, she realized. Other than her eyes being golden and her hair being long and ck, she was not like herself. First of all, her tail waspletely different. It was a bicolor tail, with the first half ck and the second half golden.


    Then, she held a wooden sword, but it was a longsword, not her usual giant sword. After all, she only learned the giant sword fighting style when she was around 5 to 6 years old.


    The 2-year-old Yasenia looked more like Yasenia''s daughter than herself when she was little. In the distance, Coraline asked. "Hm? Now that I''ve realized, her tail is a different color."Ebirahmented. "Something happened in the Secret Realm! When I met her, she had a tricolor tail!"


    The rest nodded and focused over.


    The dragoness hummed. "Well, that''s better. That child in front of you is an illusion."


    Estre titled her head. "Illusion… What was that?"


    Yasenia smiled. "She is not real. Usually, an illusion is false. For example…" Yasenia gathered energy and focused in front of herself. Then, an image of Estre appeared, looking somewhat fuzzy. Estre eximed. "That''s me!"


    Yaseniamented. "Try to touch it."


    Estre did so, and her hand went through, dissipating the illusion like smoke. The dragoness exined, looking at the bewildered Estre. "That''s an illusion. It looks real, but it is not."


    Skyemented. "Mommy, I want to see an illusion of me as well!"


    The dragoness looked toward Angel. Angel nodded back with a smile, and she tapped the ground.


    A wave of energy rushed at the children, and a more vivid illusion appeared than what Yasenia created. The children, confused, looked around with interest and did the same as Estre, dissipating them.


    "Do you understand now, baby?"


    Estre looked up and nodded. "Real but not real!"


    The dragonessughed and looked at the rest. "How about all of you, dears? Do you understand?"


    The children nodded and answered energetically.


    With that out of the way, Yaseniamented. "The difference with the illusion in front of you is that it can hurt you."


    Estre was confused. "But… Won''t she disappear when I touch her?"


    Yasenia shook her head. "This one is a bit different. Instead, she will disappear when either of the following conditions is met." The dragoness lifted a finger. "First condition, you deal a lethal blow or manage to make her unable to continue fighting." Then, she lifted her other finger. "The second condition is she does the same to you."


    Estre frowned. "I don''t understand."


    Yasenia was patient. Estre was a child, so not understanding was more than normal. "For example…" Yasenia looked toward the stele and shouted. "Twenty!"


    A twenty-year-old Yasenia appeared, and the dragoness walked toward herself. The illusion, noticing the aggression, instantly shot toward Yasenia with the intent to kill and use of her eleration skills. However, Yasenia easily blocked all blows.


    The dragoness turned around, using just her tail to avoid all the attacks of the illusions, and smiled at Estre. "As you can see, Mommy''s tail is shing with that illusion''s blows, right?"


    Estre looked at the blur of attacks and blinked twice. "Um… Yes."


    Yasenia looked at the rest of the children and saw that they were dazedly looking at her tail. ''Hm… Is this one too fast?''


    Yasenia quickly decapitated her illusion and shouted. "Sixteen!"


    A much younger-looking Yasenia appeared, wearing a beautiful red dress shaped like a flower. When the young Yasenia rushed forward, our dragoness quickly blocked everything. After all, Yasenia was a mortal at this age.


    "Can you see better now?"


    The children nodded twice.


    "Perfect. So, the illusion will attack me tirelessly until I do a lot of damage to her. For example, imagine that I do a deep cut in one of her arms." The dragoness''s tail shed, creating arge gash on the illusion''s arm that dripped with illusory blood. She asked the children. "Is that wound enough to make Mommy admit defeat?"


    As dragon children, their sensibilities were different. Hence, this scene didn''t disturb them. Instead, they all felt excited as their faint instincts somewhat activated. Estre shook her head. "Mommy wouldn''t fall with that."


    The dragoness, who was blocking the injured Yasenia''s blows,ughed. "That''s right. What if I do this?" Her tail shed again, and anotherrge gash appeared on the illusion''s chest. Of course, the illusion gritted her teeth and continued forward with unwavering determination.


    The illusions didn''t have thoughts or feelings, but they mimicked perfectly what Yasenia would do in a life-and-death situation. This meant that the illusions were the Yasenia of that age, fighting to the death with unlimited stamina but limited vitality.


    The dragoness demonstrated with not too gory wounds, and eventually, her tail pierced the illusion''s heart. That made the illusion explode in particles and disappear.


    Estre looked at the two-year-old Yasenia and understood. "So, I need to fight the illusion until it can''t continue fighting."


    The dragoness smiled, amused. "That''s right."


    And so, Estre rushed forward. The two-year-old Yasenia also moved forward. Estre approached and spun, trying to use her tail to hit little Yasenia''s knees. She was using her height disadvantage to deliver a hit that could increase her advantage.


    However, Yasenia had been trained by Tatyana and several other Sky Continent powerhouses since she was a few months old. Not only that, Tatyana used the maximum amount of treasure she could while avoiding affecting Yasenia''s fate as much as possible. In short, Little Yasenia was in apletely different leaguepared to Estre.


    The seniors looked on with awe as Little Yasenia tapped the ground, jumping over Estre''s tail swipe, and spun mid air while using her own tail.


    Estre''s face received Little Yasenia''s tail, sending her flying. "Ouch!"


    Estre touched her face, feeling a burning sensation that made her eyes water a bit. Little Yasenia didn''t stop, though. So, after shended, she shot toward Estre and used her momentum to do a palm strike toward Estre''s face. That blow would certainly create nasal bleeding.


    "Get away from Big Sister!" Dawn appeared and tried to kick Little Yasenia''s side to protect Estre. The seniors raised their eyebrows, thinking that such a blow would definitelynd.


    Yet, to their utter stupefaction, Little Yasenia allowed her leg to slide, doing a frontal split and dodging Dawn''s kick.


    A new maid blurted. "Impossible! She is two years old!"


    That was not all. Once Little Yasenia touched the ground, she used her hands and spun her body upward,nding a spinning kick on Dawn''s back and pushing her against the ground.


    Tengliu looked at Tatyana with horror and asked. "What the hell did you teach your daughter when she was only two!?"


    Tatyana answered tly. "Strength. Enough that it has kept her alive until today."


    Everyone got silent. Who could refute those words after knowing what Yasenia has gone through?


    Meanwhile, Estre saw Dawn being kicked, and her instincts as a big sister appeared. "DON''T TOUCH DAWN!"


    She rushed forward and punched, but Little Yasenia had recovered her posture and skillfully deviated Estre''s punch. Estre felt her body going forward, and then, her stomach was smashed by the dragoness''s knee.


    Bam!


    "UGH!"


    Estre felt the strike to her core, making her legs falter. Little Yasenia mercilessly looked down and raised her right leg high, preparing an Axe Kick that would send Estre to sleep.


    However, Little Yasenia''s eyes shed as she pivoted with her left leg andpleted the back-kick movement. Behind her, Skye used incredible reflexes to bend backward, barely dodging Little Yasenia''s kick.


    Then, from the side, Dawn arrived again and sprung forward, using her leg to make quite a powerful attack.


    Little Yasenia crossed her arms and received the blow, taking a few steps back. Her golden eyes shed when she felt a leg right behind her knees. She quickly looked sideways to see Aurelia crouched and extending her leg while calmly looking up at her.


    However, this was not enough as the Little Dragoness used her hands to flip backward and recovered her stance, looking forward and taking a martial arts stance.


    The seniors at the side looked at the five children with surprise.


    On one side, the coordinated and improvised attack created by Estre, Skye, Dawn, and Aurelia was incredibly smooth.


    On the other side, Little Yasenia''s strength at the same age as them was egregious.


    It was Estre, Dawn, Skye, and Aurelia against Little Yasenia.


    Estre rushed forward first and punched quickly. Little Yasenia deviated from the strike and took a step back with her leg, whipping her waist to flick her tail toward her right side.


    Dawn, who was approaching from the right, barely covered her body with her arms as the tail p happened.


    PA!


    Skye and Aurelia overcame Estre and punched forward. However, Little Yasenia used her tilted position to follow along in a spin and shot an extremely powerful kick toward Aurelia.


    Aurelia''s eyes shed calmly as she used her arms to block.


    Bam!


    Her body was thrown backward while her arms tingled with pain. However, Little Yasenia was in a position where Skye could easily sneak in a blow. Skye shouted and attacked Little Yasenia''s face with a powerful punch.


    Pa!


    Little Yasenia ate that punch, making her head whip sideways. However, Aurelia shouted. "Skye, defend belly!"


    Even Skye didn''t know when she obeyed, but her arms went toward her stomach. Right after, Little Yasenia''s punch came and struck there with tremendous force for a two-year-old.


    BAM!


    Skye coughed as her eyes widened in pain, and she was thrown to the ground.


    Little Yasenia used her hand to clean the blood dripping from her lips and looked at the four children.


    Yasenia smiled and pped. "Good enough~. Let''s stop, babies."


    Estre was confused and looked at her. "Why do we need to stop, Mommy?"


    Yaseniaughed. "Do you see Little Yasenia''s face?"


    Estre looked over and saw a very cold expression that wasn''t there before. "What''s wrong with her?"


    The dragoness grinned. "Well, when your Mommy was young, she would not really fight seriously until she received a decent blow. Skye''s punch is what I would consider a good blow back then. So, from now on, there won''t be just punches, kicks, and tail whips. Little Yasenia will also use attacks like w strikes to the eyes, bites, and other more hurting attacks."


    Skye asked, feeling a bit frustrated after standing up. "And what''s wrong with that, Mommy!?"


    Aurelia spoke calmly. "Little Mommy might injure us too much because we are not yet prepared."


    The dragoness raised the corner of her lips. "That''s right. You all are still not at this level. If you want to fight Little Mommy, choose one-and-a-half-year-old. That should be perfect for a team battle. Then, individually, I think that the one-year-old me is good enough for now."


    Dawn snorted. "Little Mommy is really strong!"


    Estre humphed. "It''s Mommy, after all, of course she is strong!"


    The other three children nodded sagely.


    Then, Yasenia turned toward Dianna and Katarina and smiled. "You two will be fighting the 13 Year Old Me, okay babies?"


    Dianna and Katarina nodded, their tails wagging.
