Aatrox, A God King in a Modern World. Chapter 71: 71 - God Princess

[Fire Fairy: It was a good game.]

[Annie is My Name: Yes, at first it was very boring, but we were able to balance it a little after Aatrox stole that baron.]

[God Aatrox: At least it was a good match.]

The baron that Aatrox stole helped the team to re-stabilize in the match, but the advantage the enemy team already had was too big. At least after that baron, the girls were calmer and when they lost, they weren't too sad. But even after that Aatrox was not satisfied, he just stole a baron, but the distance between him and the enemy jungler was too great in terms of skill. He was determined to train harder so he could get the win next time.

They all quit with a bitter taste in their mouths because of the defeat. Aatrox decided that he would train more during this week not to lose the next Clash, but for now he had a more important goal. To leave the Knight rank and breakthrough to Baron Rank.

Before he started cultivating, he warned his family not to disturb him and that what he was about to do was serious. Aatrox sitting with his legs crossed on his bed used the energy in his body to call out his Knight crown.

The crown that was once too small now sat perfectly on his head. But it was a little weak, since the amount of energy he used just to activate the Decay eye for a few lousy seconds used most of the energy he had available on the Knight level.

Aatrox wore the crown on his head and began to cultivate. When a cultivator wears his crown, feeling and guiding the energy in the body itself becomes several times easier, but only cultivators who have reached the peak of their current cultivation level can wear the crown on their head. This makes the difference in the strength of a beginner Baron much less than that of an advanced level Baron.

After a few minutes of intense energy gathering, Aatrox absorbed enough to be back to full. Now he started the process to reach the Baron level. All the energy gathered in the crown over his head was being completely synchronized with the energy in his body. All the help that the crown gave a cultivator over their energy, was now completely merging with Aatrox.

When Aatrox felt his energy reserves increasing, he knew that this was the sign that he was breaking through, so he began to absorb energy at an alarming rate. This step was extremely important because a cultivator's reserve at Baron rank would depend on the amount of energy they absorbed during their breakthrough.

Aatrox, still with his eyes closed, could feel a new miniature crown forming above his head. It was so small that it could not even be worn as a ring, but Aatrox continued to absorb and feed it with all the energy he could gather from the environment.

Finally, Aatrox opened his eyes and the vision he had of his tidy room covered in the blanket of the night, with moonlight coming through the window, changed to a brightly lit room, full of the sun's rays.

Aatrox subconsciously summoned his crown and saw the small golden crown with a few details, floating peacefully in the palm of his hand. But even if this golden crown was a few times smaller than the previous crown he had at the Knight rank, the amount of energy it stored was frightening when compared to before his breakthrough.

To test the maximum amount of energy that this crown could hold, Aatrox activated his Decay eyes and a smile formed on his face. If someone saw him like this, they would think that the devil was thinking of something perverse, due to those demonic eyes. But the smile on his face was formed because he could now keep his Decay eyes open for one minute compared to the few seconds before.

But the case with him having to activate Decay eyes during GoA's match won't be be repeated, as with his advance to the Baron level, Aatrox was now able to see everything 30% move slower and react at the same speed. Unlike before when only his eyesight changed.

Thinking of his Decay eyes, Aatrox began to wonder. If my strength increases and my anger gets out of control again, maybe I'll recover part of my Decay body? And why do I have my Decay eyes again if I do not own the Decay Blade anymore?' More and more questions began to appear in his head, but seeing the sunrise, Aatrox threw them deep into his mind and went to take a bath to go to school.

When he went down to the kitchen, Aatrox saw his parents sitting peacefully eating with the children, who were now bathed and also preparing to go to school. 

When they saw Aatrox, they all started to smile. Aatrox was also happy to see them and smiled brightly. "Good morning."

"Good morning, son, how was last night?" Alex asked curiously because he felt the energy being weakly pulled into Aatrox's room. If even Alex, who is the person with the weakest cultivation in the house, could feel the amount of energy that Aatrox was absorbing last night, you can see how intense his advancing session was.

"It was very satisfying. I finally made it to the Baron level." Aatrox said as he summoned the little golden crown that looked more like a little ring.

"How beautiful." Amanda commented.

"Brother, when will I be able to have my crown too? Then you can call me a real little princess because I'll even have my own crown." Bruna said while eating toast with a cute look.

"You're already my real little princess." Aatrox said smiling while messing up her hair. "But for you to reach the Knight level, it'll take a little longer. As I had said, you children need to train slowly to reach the peak state of your bodies. Our parents, on the other hand, will need to train slowly to be able to return their bodies to their peak condition." 

"Hmm, so if I train faster I'll be able to become your princess faster?" Bruna asked with stars in her eyes in anticipation.

"Of course, you will be my little God-Princess." Aatrox answered casually.
