Blood Type: Dragon

Their figure emitted not just an incredibly holy aura but a natural absolute dominance over him and everybody and everything! And with ist is an unshakable feeling that everything that happened in Elric"s life is all under the complete control of the Highest being whom those Angels worked for.

That fateful night that started with a flash of lightning, his acceptance to the offer of the Ancestral Dragon, the rampage that he dealt after and probably his journey to the Elemental realm was under the watchful gazes of this magnificent heavenly beings.

But what for?

Elric deeply realized that all the sufferings and loneliness he had experienced were all parts of the road prepared for him. The death of his loved ones, the different people and creatures he met along the way. The countless fights and laughs and goodbyes. Everything is under their watchful gazes.

He was never alone. Elric had been enlightened that whatever happened to his life, they were all part of the roads he had to take and that they are all just going to pa.s.s. The sadness and happiness they were all temporary. 

That no matter how strong or powerful he could get, they will all pa.s.s; not to mention the unseen beings who are more powerful or on a completely different realm than he is. That no matter what he had reached, no matter how he evolved; he should never boast. Cause all it takes is a simple nudge from these creatures and he could be a goner.

While Elric was immersed in the wonderful truths and enlightenment that had continued to push his spirit into a surging breakthrough, the figure of Lapu-Lapu and Kahayag remained standing before him with wide smiles in their faces.

"Look how powerful this descendant of yours had become." Kahayag turned to Lapu-Lapu with a hint of pride glimmering in her eyes.

"It"s ours. Not just mine but ours. Your Spiritual Bloodline and my Naturally gifted blood flow together in his veins." Lapu-Lapu replied proudly. His wrinkled face reflected the faint bluish light that Elric emitted as his spiritual power continued to transform.

"Combined with the Dragon blood in his system, this kid just turned to be the first and only Human-Elemental-Spiritual-Dragon creature that the world can offer. And I can confidently say, that this kid is indeed fated to unite all races from a different dimension. If he doesn"t fail, his power will only continue to reach even higher in the future and only the Higher ones know what"s ahead of him." Lapu-Lapu added with a deep frown on his head...

"But that also means..." Kahayag frowned upon a realization dawned in her mind.

"The world is changing, and every single plate of fate will go around Elric"s life. How he will overcome this up to him. His simple-minded thinking will not work anymore. I am pretty sure, there will be a great chance not just in his spiritual consciousness but in his personality as well."

Suddenly, the fighting background behind Elric has collapsed into a flash of bright light. The Plane of the Heavenly Void collapsed and the last fragment of Lapu-Lapu"s soul dissipated along with the "scene of the past".

A final word came out of his mouth as his dissolving figure held Kahayag"s hand for the last time. 

"Listen Kahayag. You know me, and I have an overbearing pride and I hate it when I ask for favors to another person especially if it was supposed to be my job. But unlike an immortal being like you, I am still, after all, a human and thus, have a limited lifespan." A pained pair of eyes from Lapu-Lapu stared straight to Kahayag"s beautiful dark eyes. 

"Don"t worry. I know what to do." Kahayag replied with a comforting smile.

"Elric has reached the state of United Realm and the real enemies are finally going to reveal themselves to take over him. I now place the fate of our final descendant in your hand my dear most beautiful wife." Lapu-Lapu added humbly.

"Now you"re talking. You never called me beautiful when you are still alive except when you ask me to scratch your back." Kahayag mocked.

"This fragment of my consciousness is finally going back to the universe together with my beautiful memories... Oh, how I wish I could kiss you for the last time."

"Oh, I thought you had enough with your hundreds of wife..."

"Oh, you were different... Just different." 

And with these words, Lapu-Lapu"s last remaining soul fragment that was hidden deep in the Plane of the Heavenly void inside Elric has finally disappeared. 

 The final gift of Lapu-Lapu, Elric"s great-great Ancestor has been activated. The blood of the Warrior has started moving. His purpose is done and Elric"s true powers and personality have been unleashed.

The show has finally started as Elric finally opened his eyes back in the real present human realm.

He was back in the kitchen, sitting before the smiling figure of Kahayag.

But before Kahayag could mutter any words, she was shocked at the renewed version of Elric. His eyes were not light brown anymore but filled with an unexplainable presence in different colors. It was like an iris made of the ever-s.h.i.+fting rainbow. His normally boring looking hair had grown extraordinarily long with a gorgeous wave reaching even his thighs.

His usually young appearance brought over by the effects of the Soul Cleansing pearl is gone and Elric now looked like a forty-year-old man. It appeared that not only his soul has become incredibly powerful but his body has gone an abnormal time s.h.i.+ft that seems to have fast-forwarded time in his domain causing him to grow fast in just a few seconds. It was one of the side-effects of entering the Plane of the heavenly Void.

Elric knew this from world knowledge, and even though it had brought an unprecedented change in him, his newfound att.i.tude stopped him from reacting right away from surprises or even in shock.

The new Elric is a matured looking man. With wisdom and power coiled between the deepness of his gaze. Like a black serpent hidden in a small hole ready to devour anyone who dares to underestimate him. 

His long dark brown hair had reached the floor as it masked his muscular figure with a powerful aura oozing out of his skin. 

"I know you are my great great great grandma, but you still have several questions to answers to me." Elric"s first word brought an over a confident and overwhelming presence.

"Heh, you did acquire that b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s att.i.tude after all. Arrogance is in the blood. Let me teach you who is the boss here." Kahayag said as she raised her hand and sent a powerful Psychic shock towards Elric, ready to knock him down as what she did against those Dragon Hunters.

WOOOOM~

Nothing.

Elric"s figure remained sitting still before her and continued to look at her with a serious look. A hint of boredom could be seen between his frown.

Surprised that her Pshyic shock did not work, Kahayag laughed,

"haha. Wow, you seemed to had become a little bit more powerful indeed. Let"s try again." She said as she released another surge of Psychic shock to test Elric"s resistance.

WOOOOOOOOOOM!~

But to her surprise, Elric remained calm and untouched. Not even his hair was moved from her powerful Physic shock. Elric"s bored look finally got Kahayag on her edge.

With veins finally bulging in her head, she summoned another powerful surge of her Physic shock towards Elric.

WOOOM!~

WHAM!~

BAAAASH~

This time, it was Kahayag who was knocked unconscious. Her powerful Psychic shock did nothing to Elric and ended up only rebounding back to her, causing her to limp down instantly while the gla.s.swares behind her were crushed into pieces from the mere power of the shock. It was fortunate that they were inside an isolated barrier or the noise from all the broken wares could have sent the neighbors and borders to come and investigate.

Elric finally stood up, clean and calm. He walked over Kahayag"s fainted figure and touched her forehead.

"I see. So that"s why." Elric muttered as he scanned Kahayag"s memory.

This woman was indeed a Spiritual with no real human body. Elric could see her in a different body of a woman according to the reflections revealed in her memory. He narrowed every piece of the memory and looked only for that specific event that mattered to him. 

Kahayag was not just a Spiritual, but a Guardian spirit that protects her descendants, more specifically - Elric and his grandma. It was because of a revelation from the Realm of Light and the constant plead from Lapu-Lapu that she was sent over to protect this old woman and Elric to preserve the last remaining pure-blooded ascendant of Lapu-Lapu.

Before this event, grandma has already spoken her last piece to Elric which explained why she remained calm through all those times.

And there it was, Elric saw from her memory the scene of his dark past. He was in his uncontrollable Ancestral Dragon form madness and was just about to devour his grandma whole. But a mysterious dark figure suddenly appeared under his grandma"s feet.

It was a Shadow or a Spiritual from the Realm of Darkness.
