Blood Type: Dragon

WOOOSH~

FLAs.h.!.+~

Slowly as the fight continued, grandma Kahayag"s attack finally started to slow down. Together with her weakening fervor, the power of her light arrows had also started to weaken up.

Although the Shadow"s number is down to less than five, their smaller number also makes it harder for her to hit them as now they have more s.p.a.ces to move from. Adding with their absurd speed and reflexes, the balance was just slowly tilting in their side.

The dark-wolf-like Shadows seem to have noticed her weakness as well but for some reason, they stopped pressing their attacks and instead, chooses to distance themselves again.

"This is useless. I need to focus." Kahayag thought as she finally stopped attacking as well and focused herself on recovering her spent spiritual energy.

But barely after a breath later, back in the physical realm, Kahayag"s sensed an unusual aura coming towards her direction and immediately glanced over only to see a jeepney car, loaded with mysterious people wearing creepy smiles in their face, speeding recklessly in the road.

The big car was not showing any signs of slowing down as its driver in front have the same creepy smile on his face as well. Everyone in that jeepney are possessed with Shadows!

"This is bad!" Kahayag panicked as she prepared to release the etherial arrow towards the jeepney"s direction when another powerful aura of a Shadow revealed itself behind her.

Unlike the wolf-like Shadow minions, this one, in particular, has a heavy and domineering presence of a werewolf!

Together with the sudden arrival of the werewolf-like shadow, the five remaining minion-Shadows had also split to attack grandma Kahayag from the sides but she had casually evaded their attacks flawlessly, while the rest of the Shadows chose to charge towards the peacefully sleeping figure of Lesse.

And like a black flash, the ma.s.sive werewolf Shadow charged straight at Kahayag"s etherial figure!

Kahayag retaliated by turning her bow and arrow into a bright thin sword and flawlessly slashed diagonally in the ma.s.sive Shadow"s direction.

However, the ma.s.sive werewolf Shadow seems to have expected her counter attack. It easily side-stepped to the side and sent an upward claw counter. Kahayag received the claw with a swift cartwheel to the back and sent another sweeping slash mid-air - it successfully flopped the opponent"s hand. 

It was a fight that covered no less than two seconds but the two of them had already exchanged a couple of blows!

Seeing its lopped shadow hands, Kahayag confidently stood up and smiled, expecting the enemy to dissipate into black dust.

However, the ma.s.sive figure of the werewolf-like Shadow remained intact! This brought a frown upon Kahayag"s face.

"As expected of the finest Warrior from the Realm of Light..." The werewolf Shadow suddenly spoke in a cold and ghastly voice. Its smoke-like figure stood calmly before Kahayag as if it was just playing with her.

"But I am afraid we already won..." It confidently added before it turned to the side and watched the Shadow-loaded jeepney ramming the front door of the apartment in the physical realm.

"As if I would let you!" Kahayag replied with a smile. 

BROOOOM!~

CRAAASH~

The crash brought a powerful cras.h.i.+ng sound that instantly caused the surrounding crowd nearby to fall into panic and shock. Some people immediately took out their phones to call for an ambulance while some took the initiative to go after the disfigured jeepney to help the injured pa.s.sengers.

Lesse who was sleeping peacefully inside the apartment was immediately awakened as well. Fearing that the shocking sound is from an enemy who is after her, she hurriedly went towards her closet and took out a gun, a meter long samurai and the green pendant that holds the key to unsealing their Dragon essence. 

Lesse had always known that the day will come that her pursuers will find her and that they could not just depend on grandma Landlord"s protection all the time. She was prepared to fight back against them no matter what. 

She had received an instruction from granny Kahayag that in any case, something happens to the apartment, it must have something to do after their pursuers and that they must be prepared to defend themselves just in case she could not come to their aid.

"Hey! Is anyone okay?"

"Quick call an ambulance!"

"Careful! Careful!"

The people scrambled to help the injured pa.s.sengers inside the crashed car.

But to their surprise, the wounded pa.s.sengers calmly walked out of the disheveled jeepney with wide creepy smiles amid their blood-covered face. It was like seeing dead people come out of a jeepney coffin!

"ZOMBIES!"

"What the!?"

"Aaaaah!"

The surrounding crowd immediately flee in fear after watching such a creepy show coming out from a crashed vehicle. The Shadow-possessed people walked out with bones sipping out of their skin, some had their foot stuck in bleeding state, while others have broken neck - all while wearing the creepy smile like a clown zombie!

It was a creepy show indeed!

Quickly their figure moved towards Lesse"s direction but before they could even take another step, their figure quickly collapsed like a stringed puppet losing their threads!

WOOOOOM!~

With a wide smile, granny Kahayag flicked her finger and a bright light suddenly exploded from inside the apartment. 

It was another anti-shadow barrier!

The Shadow werewolf had a dumbfounded look on its dark eyes. It never expected the old with before him to actually fool them into thinking there were no more barriers! She was just luring them after all!

With the unexpected barrier suddenly activating from the small corners of Lesse"s room, the Shadows inside the possessed body quickly dissipated into nothing, leaving the bodies to collapse in an instant, some still breathing faintly while others who were in dire condition, just went straight to the embrace of death.

The five remaining minion wolves were included in the bright explosion and it was only the werewolf Shadow that remained standing. It was obviously the most powerful one as it managed to survive the explosion of light and Kahayag"s blade.

However, the damage it had acc.u.mulated caused its ma.s.sive black smoking figure to slowly shrink. Its long claws are shortened and the domineering presence had significantly weakened.  It had gone too short that Kahayag"s 

"Any last word?" Kahayag asked as she raised her blade made of light to deal the finis.h.i.+ng blow.

"Actually, yes." The werewolf said as it raised its head to look up at Kahayag"s face with an arrogant grin.

"You think you already won? Hahaha!"  The envoy is after the boy. I am just a distraction! " 

Hearing this, a frown quickly formed on Kahayag"s face but she immediately hid it and fronted a calm smile instead.

"Don"t worry. I will cut him too myself." Kahayag replied as she finally swung the finis.h.i.+ng blow.

But as she did, the weakened werewolf shadow remained smiling as it spouted other last words.

"The King is coming-" 

SLAs.h.!.+~

It"s head severed from its body and immediately exploded into black dust.

The victory for this fight was claimed by Kahayag but another problem was still awaiting on the other side. 

Time is not on her side!

Without even giving herself some breather, Kahayag went back to her physical body. Her eyes quickly opened and stood up from the wooden rocking chair as if she was just taking a good morning nap.

Quickly, her figure stood up and walked out of her room.

Lesse was facing the door with a gun in her hand and a sharp sword on her hips. She was still expecting the enemy to come and she was prepared to meet them. Her eyes are glued to the door while all her other senses are heightened to the maximum!

Suddenly the door opened.

BANG!

A bullet was stuck floating before the wooden door as it slowly revealed Kahayag"s figure behind.

"G-g-granny?" Lesse stuttered. Her mixed emotion made some tears to came out from the side of her pearly black eyes.

"Save your bullets and tears. We need to leave." Kahayag resolutely said. Seeing the unusual cold eyes in the mysterious woman"s face, Lesse knew that something bad is up. Quickly they walked from the lower floor to the top floor with haste.

Along the way, Lesse could not help but ask.

"But my brother..." 

"We are off to save him."

"But isn"t he in the school?"

"I have been busy keeping you safe while you sleep. Their numbers had suddenly increased and even sent commander-level ones just to distract me."

"What do you mean? I thought we did good hiding from the Arkhan Dragon hunters."

"It"s not Dragon hunters.."

"Not Dragon-"

"It"s Shadow Spirituals. I will explain along the way." Kahayag said as they finally stepped out of the door leading to the rooftop. A transparent barrier that gives them cover from mortal eyes suddenly enveloped both Kahayag and Lesse while wings made of light suddenly sprouted out of Kahayag"s back.

"Your wings-", seeing the mysterious old woman finally showing some of her powers, she could not help but gape in shock.

"hold on tight." Kahayag grabbed her hand as their barrier-hidden figure left the rooftop. The wings of light covered both of them and like a lightning flash, they had quickly arrived at the top of the school building just beside where Elric and Long were trapped inside another isolation barrier.

"You guys are messing with the wrong grandma." Kahayag murmured as she summoned the s.h.i.+ning bow and arrow in the physical realm. Seeing the powerful presence this bow emitted caused Lesse to gulp a good mouthful of saliva.

***

The creepy students were having the time of their lives as they continued to hara.s.s Long with a kick and heal game.

"Wait..." The leading creepy student suddenly raised his hand and the rest of its companion suddenly stopped.

"She is here!" together with the others, the leading Shadow possessed student suddenly grabbed Long"s body by the foot and ran towards the forest"s direction until-

BANG!~

Another isolation barrier had been placed and they were trapped inside it.

A wide menacing grin formed at granny Kahayag"s face as she stretched her bow to its maximum, aiming at the head of the one creepy student who was dragging Long.
