Lesse knew why Kahayag was confident in defeating them before. But as long as the cursed weapon remained stuck at Elric"s back, she had no choice but to depend on using her own spiritual powers. Not to mention, once she removed the cursed knife locking Elric, it will only add to the numbers of enemies she had to face.If only Lesse and Long were just ordinary people, they would have already fled before they could talk against Kahayag.
But right now is different, aside from the return of their Dragon Essence, they could also feel incredibly abundant of power that continued to surge inside them. As if they are getting filled to the brim, pus.h.i.+ng them to the edge breakthrough!
Facing Spiritual that is currently not in her peak state and an Envoy with clearly a different motive compared to Kahayag, their chances of winning are as good as fifty-fifty. And as Dragons, they must uphold their pride of not backing out against a fair fight. Not to mention, they were both eager to put their newfound power into the test!
And just when Long was about to meet Kahayag"s attack, Lesse suddenly stopped Long"s charging breath.
"Why!? Let me roast that old traitor into crisp!" Long irritably beckoned as his long eastern Dragon body was getting dragged further by Lesse"s longer body.
Kahayag, on the other hand, missed her attack and swiftly s.h.i.+fter her weapon from melee sword to range bow!
SWOOSH~SWOOOSH~
BOOOM!~BOOOM!~
"Don"t attack," Lesse told Long. The latter responded with a hesitant look but at the end, still followed his sister"s command.
Long knew his sister. Not only has she became even more matured, but the years spent hiding from the Dragon hunters made her became even wiser. When to move, what to attack, all of those falls down to his sister"s decision. Not to mention, Lesse is currently on the edge of breaking through, she might even end up reaching the power level of a Queen Dragon in the next hour!
That is to say if they survive their current ordeal against Kahayag.
Long and Lesse continued to distance away from Kahayag who choose not to go too far from Elric"s position.
As much as Kahayag wanted to destroy the two Dragons, she also knew that the envoy is still after Elric"s body. The reason the latter doesn"t touch Elric is because of the cursed sword plunged behind him. The moment anyone touches Elric"s body, they would also end up getting their soul shut down in instant, thus the Envoy chooses to step aside for now and wait for the perfect timing to move and possible escape with Elric"s body as a trophy.
"Why are we not attacking? If we work together and force her into a corner, I believe we can take her on. With our Dragon powers back, her spiritual attack against us had dropped significantly weaker with our natural spiritual magic resistance and us-"
"I know that," Lesse replied, their long Eastern Dragon bodies flew up high in the sky, covered by the pa.s.sing clouds. "But I recall clearly how that human single-handedly knocked down the Envoy and even berated the powerful grandma landlord before our very eyes. I remember he said something about taking care of his "grandmas" body."
"So? What are you implying? Do you mean that the spirit inside old grandma traitor is not its real spirit?"
Lesse nodded before adding, "I have a feeling that the body she is using is the body of that man"s grandma."
"In other words?" Long replied with a confused stare.
Sighing deeply, Lesse replied, "In other words, the moment we attack the old woman and end up destroying that body, we could end up becoming that man"s next target. You should know that he also wields not just Spiritual powers but Elemental ability as well. If not for that cursed knife stabbed behind him, he could have ended the whole fight for good."
Thinking deeply, Lesse continued, "And if I am not mistaken, the reason why that old lady is not afraid of to take on bluntly our attacks is that she is a pure Spiritual being, our fire or physical attacks are only strong enough to destroy the physical state but not the spiritual being inside. Even if we turn her into crispy charcoal, all she needs to do is move to a new physical body, while we get a new enemy out of the last body we killed."
Long listened with an enlightened look on his Dragon face.
Then suddenly, both their eyes frowned.
"This..." Long mumbled.
"They are coming. Based on my estimate, we only have ten to fifteen minutes before they arrive."
Lesse was referring to the Dragons of the other regions coming their way. With the help of their ultrsensitive senses, they could feel, smell, and hear the countless Dragons coming their way to finish the last two Eastern Dragons that exist in the world.
Although they have prepared themselves on the incoming encounter, realizing that their chances of winning against a h.o.a.rd of Dragons from the other Region are close to impossible and they could not help but feel fearful and anxious.
They knew, especially Lesse, that the moment they unleashed their seal, it was the same as calling out their ma.s.sive pursuers with a loud "we are here!".
"So what"s your plan. I a.s.sume that you already had one the moment you released our Dragon Essences." Long looked at Lesse with a hopeful gaze.
"I do have one. But this is not entirely my plan." Lesse replied with uncertainty in her voice.
Hearing his sister"s reply, Long asked, "Not yours entirely? What do you mean?"
"Father showed up in my dreams. She told me to ""unleash a certain man". And by the time I opened my eyes, I saw that guy." Lesse answered, staring intently at the unconscious Elric lying not far behind the distant Kahayag.
Getting what his sister meant, Long, said, "Do you mean we need to remove that cursed knife behind that crazy guy"s back?"
"I believe father"s words did have purposes. Not to mention, that guy is the only one who could deal with spiritual beings. I hate to admit it, but we only hope lies in that man."
With a frown, Long asked, "How sure are you that he is going to help? Also, how do you think will we deal with the incoming Dragons of the other region?"
"We won"t," Lesse replied with a determined face. Her eyes are locked at Elric"s unconscious body and added, "He will."
***
A thousand kilometers away from the location of Lesse, the Dragons of the different Region are currently ma.s.sing up in a certain sky from different directions, their flying is not considered slow but they were all in the same pacing, with their nose fronting towards the eastern sky.
The northern Dragons resembled the body of the western ones, compared to the Eastern snake-like Dragons, they have huge muscular bodies with bluish scales, their two longs hands are attached to the edge of their wings while they pose an incredibly intimidating aura with the sheer size and number they possess.
On the other side of the globe, the Western and the Southern Dragons had also moved out heading towards the direction of Lesse.
Ever since the release of their seal, their scent had also been unleashed in the atmosphere, causing the nearest scout to detect their presence and quickly reported to the Elder Dragons of their own region.
They were all wearing the same determined faces especially when they recalled what"s at stake in this fight.
Ten years ago, the fall of the Eastern Region did not just cause a ma.s.sive tilt in the balance but also created opportunities for expansion of their own bases. But the three remaining Dragon tribes could not come to an agreement. Save the hundreds of Dragon lives that were lost during those heated times.
And after more months of deliberation from different representatives, they have all reached a certain agreement. That whoever finds and takes the head of the two missing Eastern Dragons, the whole eastern region would be granted to the winner. How they did it doesn"t matter. Winner takes all.
Thus it is understandable that the Dragon Kings and Queens of the different regions could not help but summon all their finest warriors.
Knowing how the other region would react from the good news lingering in the air, they expect a battle to insure against the other tribes. After all, those who have the strength to back their new territory should be the ones deserving to inherit the eastern region.
From the past ten years, the abundant resources in the Eastern Region had been left untouched by the three Dragon tribes in respect of this agreement. But now that the time has come, going all out from the start for them is the wisest decision to do.
Flying high in the Western Sky, Lucas, the new King Dragon of the West, after the death of his father Arthur ten years ago, looked at the eastern direction with blazing determined eyes.
His domineering Western Dragon form exceeded their expectation as he grew incredibly strong from the past ten years. His golden scales glittered from the sun"s reflection and his wings alone spanned for more than fifty meters!
Lucas mumbled in the air with his eyes closed,
"Father, by the end of this day, the Eastern land will be named after you."
