462 ONE-IN-A-MILLION SOUL BEAST

[THIS IS not enough.]

Nero, who was catching his breath after creating a snowstorm that produced sharp icicles instead of snow, wasn't satisfied with his current level. Even though the cave where he spent his time training in secret (he sneaked out of the villa while his mother was talking to his father via a communication device) was now covered with ice and icicles, he still felt like he was lacking.

[Neoma and her dragon are stronger than me and my Soul Beast.]

His twin sister didn't summon her Soul Beast when she was at Hazelden a few days ago, but she didn't have to call the dragon to let him know how much stronger she had grown.

He felt it.

[Neoma's Moonglow is stronger than mine, and she's better at controlling her Soul Beast than me. She's more of a de Moonasterio than I am, it seems.]

But even though he loved Neoma to death, he still didn't want to lose to her.

[How can I protect her if I'm weaker than her?]
