The whole area was covered in thick dust and the ground was filled with Dragons of various sizes and shapes, planted like colorful plant crops.Lesse and Long, who happen to have been spared from Elric"s unexpected command saw everything that has unfolded and they could not help but feel like losing their sense of rationality.
Although they were hoping to get even a little help from the mysterious young man, they were still not expecting him to take down almost all their enemies on one go!
Elric"s words were like the voice of heaven.
In the ears of the surrounding Dragons, it contained divine authority and power that makes the surrounding Dragon unknowingly acknowledge him. Their muscles twitched with mere words from him. It was safe to say that they are easily influenced by Elric"s voice alone and even if he told them to kill each other, they would probably do it too!
However, it was a different story for the King and Queen Dragons. their ability to resist Elric"s dominant voice and presence far surpa.s.sed the rest of their companions. By steeling their own will, they were able to regain their own body control just when they felt like their body wanted to kneel according to what the mysterious young man asked them to do.
Just who could this man be?
How did he obtain divine command over all the Dragons?
There was an estimated total of over fifty thousand Dragons a few minutes ago. But after Elric unleash that one-word command, a good five thousand of them did not make it due to their forceful impact and the stacking injuries they have incurred.
The newly arrived Dragons were taken off guard by Elric. They were only here thinking that they would just be castrating the last two eastern Dragons that currently exist. However, an unknown enemy suddenly sprouted off, carrying power that seems to be stronger than the King and Queen Dragons!
SHOOOOM!~
SHOSHOSHOSHOOOM!~
SHOOOOM!~
Knowing that they could not let their guard down, all the Dragons that managed to survive are currently unleas.h.i.+ng their individual auras. This is to boost their overall defense and power, not letting Elric do them a good surprise for a second time,
Led by Fargor, Arthur, and Leah, the King and Queen Dragons of the three regions; every Dragon"s body exploded with a bright gush of energy that exudes a powerful presence.
"We need to be careful of that human" Leah warned. Her elegant yet ma.s.sive body exuded a bright blue colors, one could feel an incredible drop in temperature in her surroundings.
"I don"t think a human is capable of doing what he just did moments ago. That"s an Ancestral"s presence you are seeing!" Arthur quickly added with a wary eyes towards Elric. Fargor remained as silent as usual, but his eyes still revealed traces of fear against the mysterious human standing in between the two Eastern Dragons.
Taking a closer look, Leah said, "Now that you mentioned it, you are right. And for some reason, he exuded quite a familiar aura as that Ancestral Dragon from ten years ago. Only much calmer and maybe weaker?"
"Could it be possible that he"s..." Leah added with a frown quickly forming in her scaly face.
The other King Dragons nodded in agreement and at the same time, real fear started to form in their hearts. But as proud Dragons, they could not show a single sign of backing down or they would risk smearing their pride with a smudge of cowardice stigma.
"This is just perfect." Arthur suddenly said. A smile and burst of power started to emit out of his huge western Dragon body. Like steam flowing out intensely, he is gearing up to attack!
Leah and Fargor turned their heads toward him with serious gazes. Then a few moments later, they understood what Arthur meant.
Ten years ago, he lost his father from the battle against the rampaging Black Ancestral Dragon.
Aside from the countless casualties that time, finding the body of the King Dragon of West in a headless state after the G.o.d Reckoning Tribulation made everything worst.
Although no one really saw who killed his father, the only one they knew who could do it was the rampaging Black Ancestral Dragon that time. Thus Arthur could only pin all the blame down at the Black Ancestral Dragon that time.
And now that an opportunity to exact vengeance for his father is here, he is prepared to go all out right away. Without waiting for the help of the Dragons from other region, Arthur suddenly issued a command.
"Everyone! Focus your attack on that human!" Arthur trusted his instinct, the fact that Elric possess the same ancestral aura of that Black Dragon from the past, he did not hesitate to have him destroy right away.
Heading Arthur"s command, all of the surviving Dragons of the Western region started to flap their wings and rose from the ground, their eyes were locked at Elric"s position while their mouth started to emit a terrifying heat from the boiling fire inside.
"Kill!"
Like a whirlwind of fire, all the Western Dragon made the first move by flaming Elric to crisp!
Meanwhile, Leah knew better to take any possible advantage that she can.
"Everyone! Move back five hundred meters and prepare to execute the Frozen Prison formation!" Unlike Arthur"s reckless style of attack, Leah knew how to plan and ensure her win.
With her region an expert in using wind and ice elements, she planned to freeze everything that will be covered in her formation before going for the kill.
With the combined efforts of at least twenty thousand Dragons in her side alone, she was confident to grab the day"s trophy! Not to mention, with the mysterious humans" addition as a bonus for her effort, she might just be able to experiment on his body and possibly learn the secrets of the Ancestral aura he emitted.
While the western Dragons preferred a frontal attack, Fargor and his company seem to have their own plan as well.
With their expertise in camouflage and a.s.sa.s.sin style of killing, they all started to blend in the surroundings, erasing their presence as if they were never there in the first place!
The Northern Dragon pulled back, the Southern Dragons disappeared while the Western Dragons prefer to go on full five at the start!
Elric watched everything unfolded before his Dragon eyes. He could feel the unstoppable shaking of the two Eastern Dragons beside him. The thousands of incoming fireball coming his way appeared as if he was under a terrifying Armageddon!
Lesse and Long were about to unleash defensive moves against the incoming attack when Elric"s voice suddenly came in their heads.
"I will entrust to you two the protection of grandma"s body."
Lesse and Long wanted to retort but for some reason, they could feel overwhelming confidence in Elric"s words. Not to mention they have just witnessed the latter commanding literally thousands of Dragons to suicidally dived down to the earth with his own voice alone!
They both quickly nodded, Lesse moved to pick Kahayag"s body before she and her brother a.s.sumed a defensive stance behind Elric.
And just when all the fireb.a.l.l.s coming their way was about to destroy them, Elric casually in front. His face revealed not a stain of fear nor weakness.
Lesse and Long watched everything with antic.i.p.ation and curiosity. For some reason they could feel an unexplainable security as long as they sided with Elric. Although they both have plenty of questions wanted to ask from the young man, especially Lesse, they knew right now is not the right time for question and answer portions.
Their eyes were locked at Elric"s magnificent figure. The latter suddenly raised one of his arm and opened his palm as if carrying an invisible ball!
ZWOOOOOOOOOOOOM!~
All the Western Dragon"s fire that was just meters away from hitting him suddenly changed direction. A sphere of fire instantly popped out of his raised palm as it furiously absorbed all the incoming fire like a "bright blackhole"!
"What the!?"
"Impossible!"
"He-he absorbed the fire!"
The gaping mouth of the Western Dragons was wide open as they saw how Elric literally, single-handedly took care of their first a.s.sault!
ZOOOOOOOOWM!~
The fireball in Elric"s palm continued to grow exponentially strong with each pa.s.sing second. The more fire it absorbed the more terrifying power it presents!
