Long is currently lying unconscious on the ground together beside Elric and his sister Lesse.His mind had been wandering aimlessly in his subconscious state. He had lost hope. Fighting the depressing feeling and waking up right now is useless. He had completely lost trust in everyone aside from his sister.
The mysterious old granny whom he looked up to from the past years has betrayed them. No wonder she had been too good to them. There was no free soup in the world after all. She was planning to offer them to the so-called King from the Realm of Darkness.
With his current state, fighting back is useless. He had suffered enough pain and humiliation just within this day alone. There were too many twists and turns that his logic seems to have failed him.
He bullied a man who was actually thousand times more powerful than him, and his previous glorious past had gone wasted only to be remembered behind his head.
Everything is just hopeless. Right now, all he could do is wander aimlessly in the empty s.p.a.ce of his consciousness. Knowing the power of the two monsters outside, all he could do is just waiting for the day of his eternal death.
"It"s useless. Hopeless. It"s the end." Long thought as he continued to reminiscent of his past life as a Dragon of the Eastern Region.
"If only I am given another chance. Just one chance to fight back in my Dragon form. I am sure I put a good scratch on those traitor"s faces. Even if I lose, I don"t want to die without fighting." Long thought to himself.
Then a powerful surge of warmth and overflowing energy started to a.s.sault his mind.
BOOOOM!~
Like a waterfall suddenly slamming over his entire body, Long felt like he was being crushed by the sudden surge of warm energy.
"Is this it? Am I being taken over by those spirituals? Is this the real end?"
But then Long noticed a peculiar feeling as the warm energy coursed all over his body. He felt like he was an empty jar, now being filled with a vast amount of warm water. The heat traveled from his heart to his lungs, kidneys. It continued to crawl in his veins until the end of his fingertips.
"This power. This familiar feeling..." Long muttered as his eyes started to open slowly. A faint light of green and red started to spark in his hopeless eyes. It was the essence of his royal Dragon blood. taking effect.
"Wait. Could it be..." Long"s body suddenly grew incredibly stronger. With each pa.s.sing seconds, he felt like his muscles had been expanding and contracting multiple times as if it was a developing muscle being fast-forwarded. His grip could easily shatter a hard piece of rock.
Together with Long"s shocked eyes, he could feel his senses shooting up. His ears started to ring with the numerous amount of sound he could receive, his nose became extremely sensitive that all the faint scents in the air could not escape his nostrils.
Long knew what is happening. This is all the effect of the power of his Dragon essence.
"Did sister..." As Long said these words, his eyes glanced beside him only to see his sister Lesse standing up with her eyes glowing incredibly bright with red and green flames. He could see the faint traces of the green and red royal scales slowly emerging out of her skin.
Then his eyes panned down and saw her hands clasping the jade necklace that was holding the seal of their Dragon Essence. It was a special artifact especially hidden by his father. He once saw it and asked his father its use. Hearing his father"s answer, he thought it was just a foolish thing to keep such useless artifact.
After all, they are the proud Eastern Dragons that dominated the Eastern sky. Why would they need an artifact that will seal their Dragon Essence? Long thought only cowards would keep such artifacts. He even hated seeing it being worn by his sister because it reminded him of his father.
He hates to admit it but his father was right. In the end, it was that artifact that saved them. However, now that they have taken back their Dragon essence what"s next?
Are they going to face grandma and the dark Shadow behind her?
Long knew that he has the Dragon"s essence now judging from the familiar energy swelling deep inside his system. With just a mere thought, he can transform into his Eastern Dragon form now and fight back. But for some reason, his instinct told him to hold up.
His eyes quickly glanced around and saw his sister now completely awake beside him. But there was something strange about her. Long could feel it too inside him.
Deep inside, Long could feel his power continue surging as if a never-ending supply of power is constantly nouris.h.i.+ng his body.
"Wait could it be?!"
Kahayag was shocked to realize that her bargaining tools suddenly wakeup prematurely. She was just about to finish the Shadow before her when she felt a strange premonition. She quickly glanced back only to see the last two Eastern Dragon siblings standing behind her.
Their eyes were glowing red and green flames, like small torches being lit inside their eyes. Not to mention, their power just kept on surging non-stop!
"If you just stayed behave, you could have spared yourself a painful death by eternal destruction," Kahayag spoke with a cold tone before Long and Lesse. She switched her weapon"s form from a bow into a sword made of light.
"You don"t scare me," Lesse replied with a determined look.
"Oh? You have the guts to face me now? Your head may have grown too quick just because you have regained your powers, but do you really think that is enough to push me around?" Kahayag smirked, the Shadow stepped beside her, intending to help the old woman deal with the two empowered Dragons before them.
Walking calmly towards them, Kahayag added, "In less than fifteen minutes, the other Dragons from different regions all around the world will already catch your scent. The moment you released your seal, your fate had been sealed. If you surrender to me right now, I might be able to defend for you and-"
"And what? What other options do you offer? You will just use us anyway to achieve your selfish wants." Lesse interjected.
"You do not know what you are saying, my dear. You barely know who I am! Hahaha!" Kahayag laughed before adding, "And besides, do you even have any choice? Aside from being shred into pieces from the other Dragon"s mouth, why don"t you just offer yourself to the King of the Dark Realm? That way, you won"t be dying a useless piece of sh*t!"
But Lesse and Long remained unaffected."We trusted you. Our father trusted you that he even begged you and entrusted us! You don"t talk like from the Realm of Light at all-"
"Silence!" Kahayag beckoned. "What do you know about me? Do you even have a slight idea of what I have been trough?"
"Aside from living an old life and changing different bodies from time to time, we don"t really care. All that we knew is that you are nothing but a useless pile of spiritual sh*t!" Lesse summoned all her confidence back. Her body suddenly exploded in blinding light and transformed into her ma.s.sive Eastern Dragon form!
Seeing his sister doing it, Long exploded into bright light as well. Unleas.h.i.+ng his Dragon essence and transforming to their true elegant Eastern Dragon form!
Their long snake-like bodies that stretch into hundred meters were quite a sight to behold! The red and green scales alternating in their sparkling scales and the domineering aura they posed created quite a pressure even to Kahayag and the Envoy beside her.
In terms of power, the Dragons are not that easy to deal with. Not to mention two Royal blooded ones! Basically speaking, their current power levels are constantly changing with the siblings getting stronger each second, while Kahayag had been constantly declining
They are both prepared to fight Kahayag and the Shadow Envoy of the King to death!
Seeing that things are getting more complicated, Kahayag knew that taking down the newly empowered Dragons in less than fifteen minutes is much easier being imagined. With each pa.s.sing second, her Spiritual power had been declining considerably due to the cursed blade being planted in Elric"s back.
Perhaps, scaring them might help!
"Hahahaha! Fools! Do you even understood why no Dragon Kings nor Queens would dare to offend me for thousands of years of my existence?" Kahayag suddenly burst into manic laughter.
Lesse smiled confidently in her Dragon form.
"Do you mean that cursed knife that can suppress anyone"s soul? Go ahead. I dare you to pull it out."
"..." Kahagyag"s face quickly quieted down. Her ploy had been exposed! But with her options thinning down, she could only do one thing right now and that is the hard way!
"You ungrateful b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!" Kahayag flared up with all her spiritual Energy bursting out.
Wielding her sword of light, she charged towards the two ma.s.sive Eastern Dragons both ready to engage with her! The Envoy, on the other hand, chooses to back away, a creepy smile was planted in its face as its body blended into the shadow.
