Blood Type: Dragon

With a gentle smile, Elric observed his grandma"s sleeping face. As a soul-less body, his grandma"s physical condition has gone full "mechanically automated". As a person on deep sleep, only there was no reaction no matter the outside physical approach.

"Don"t worry grandma, I will bring back your soul no matter what," he whispered gently and with hopeful eyes.

A teary eye of great longing could be seen on the usual cold eyes of Elric as he laid them on the face of his only remaining family.

The two Eastern Dragons are now standing beside Elric, watching him from the sides with sympathy. They too are longing for their family, especially Lang their father, the last King Dragon of the Eastern Region.

A while ago, Elric has relieved their pain with his supernatural healing ability which seems to have grown more effective compared to Dash"s healing water.

Slowly Elric stood up with his grandma"s body on his arms and together with Dash and the Elder Guardian, they walked towards the door platform leading deeper on the Guardian s.h.i.+p. 

Elric"s eyes were determined yet confident. Like an eagle locking its sight on a human who has destroyed its eggs and nest. His talons stretching out, craving for the blood of his enemies.

Lesse and Long followed behind with an unyielding look as well. After they have witnessed the real face and powers of their enemy, they have now fully realized just how weak they are despite reaching the King Dragon level.

Perhaps on the Dragon"s culture, they might have long gained the recognition of the other Dragons and the King or Queen alike. Just when the Eastern Dragon region has finally recovered a little bit of their reputation, the other Dragon King and Queens, unfortunately, were not there anymore to fully witnessed their strength.

However, if compared to the power of the Elemental Lords, even if all the Dragon King and Queens in the human realms will combine, would probably still not last that long on a frontal battle. Not to mention, those Elemental Lords have their own special elements and a whole planet of Elementals that backed them.

Elric and his company has pa.s.sed through a lot of corners and corridors that were looking incredibly futuristic. The inside of the Guardian s.h.i.+p was extremely s.p.a.cious and appeared to be bigger than how it actually looked from the outside.

For some reason, they felt like they have just come into a ma.s.sive futuristic castle despite going inside a hundred-square meter house.

And just like before, they have now reached the former "meeting room" and a mysterious looking door with a warping scene of a different realm can be seen inside. The door"s edges itself was made of glowing blue stone and emitted a mysterious presence that makes one shudder in creeping silence.

A while ago while walking, the Elder Guardian has discussed to them the presence and benefits of a certain realm called Kaora"s Realm.

It was a special isolated realm that is free from the hostile eyes of the G.o.d of Dimensional Realm.

Named after Kaora, a mysterious human who, according to the Elder Guardian, is the father of all Ancient Humans.

Also known as the smartest, most talented, and most mysterious in every way - basically a legit perfect human. He was the so-called man who was after the G.o.dly realm but on a mysterious turn of event, suddenly disappeared.

Only traces of small clues, notes, and their outstanding abilities as Guardians itself remained as an obvious trace of his existence, which seems the latter to have purposely left behind.

It was also revealed that all the Guardians and Ancient humans alike were actually based on a substandard clone of the great Kaora himself.

Nevertheless, one way and the most solid proof of his existence is the door that is currently standing in front of them. This door which, the first Elder Guardian saw when it first gained proper awareness, was kept as their guide to their creator.

In every Guardian"s head, while looking at the door, there was a sentence that is chanted almost like an ingrained instinct to them - "Only the three Dragons and an old woman can enter".

It was a relic that the Guardians took with them together with a very specific instructions from Kaora himself. And as expected, the event did happen and the specific conditions were perfectly met.

Three Dragons, referred to Elric, Lesse, and Long; while the old woman obviously means Elric"s grandma. It appears that Kaora has something to do with Elric"s family as well. But whatever it was, the Guardians are only here to fulfill their founder"s command.

Among all the dimensional realms, only the Kaora"s realm is a realm that is never accessible by everyone who travels across the realms. Not even the G.o.d of Dimensional Realm can find it, which obviously made the latter desperate and wanting to find it more.

Unfortunately for the giant black snake with black hole eyes, no matter how hard he tried, Kaora"s realm is just like a slippery invisible Eel.

Now standing in front of the door leading to the Kaora"s realm, Elric was about to go in when he heard someone sobbing on the side.

"sniff. I will wait for you here Hugon Kid. sniff." Dash, with a teary-beady eye said. He is currently standing beside the weird-looking realm door. "Just why did that Kaorman did not include a turtle!?"

Then Dash looked at the Elder Guardian on the side with pleading beady eyes, the latter just ignored him and stood beside the door opposite to the turtle.

"Are you not doubting if these could be a trap against you?" The Elder Guardian asked Elric with slight curious eyes.

"I know you, Guardians, more than you probably know yourself. You may be secretive, but you are honest, and would your head would instantly explode the moment you lie." Elric replied rather confidently.

The Elder Guardian just smiled in return before saying,

"May you find your way back."

Elric nodded in reply. How they will come back is up to him.

Fortunately, according to the Elder Guardian"s honest and highly accurate calculations, their chances of coming back were at fifty-six percent. 

How they will manage to pull on the positive side, depends on what"s waiting inside.

Elric smiled as he gently rubbed the top of the turtle"s head. He gave a glance to the Elder Guardian who then replied with a respectful bow.

"I will be back."

Elric gently held his grandma"s body as he started walking towards the portal door to Kaora"s realm.

Lesse and Long gave a nod to each other as they both followed Elric inside with a determined face.

With the help of time difference inside, they decided that they will train too and will come back stronger in the next two months, though it could mean ten thousand years on the other end.

As the figures of Elric and the rest completely disappeared from the ever warping door, sounds of cracking slowly followed.

Dash, who although have expected it to happen still could not help but feel a little anxious. His turtle face looked at the tall Elder Guardian beside him who remained calm and watched everything with a glint of hope in its eyes. The latter still looked like a skeleton from his previous energy transfer. 

CRAAACK~

SSHHHHH~

And finally, the door to the Kaora"s realm has suddenly solidified like a white stone slab before slowly collapsing into fine sands.

It was indeed a one time use portal prophetically designed only for this day to come - to provide a shelter for Elric and the others and push for the final breakthrough.

"So that prophesized war is finally coming..." A sad and helpless voice came from behind.

The other Elder Guardians finally revealed themselves from behind the white walls surrounding them. Their sudden appearance startled the little turtle, but fortunately, they do not give off any hostile vibe at all.

"Kaora has predicted everything that was to happen in the next million years before he dissapeared Just what kind of level of intelligence have he reached..." said the Elder Guardian.

Eyes of pure admiration can be seen in the cold blue eyes of the Guardian leaders.

Then, with a soft and calm voice, the Elder Guardian suddenly said as he left towards the door leading outside.

"The Beast is coming. Prepare the final preparation. Let"s go meet it outside."

Dash nodded as he gulped a big one and followed the tallest one in front. The rest of the Guardians took left in different directions, seemingly having their own post to occupy.

***

In a world where the vibrant orange skies are adorned with thousands of obviously colorful planets, weird-looking trees that towered for more than ten thousand meters and a vast land that was littered with various animals with incredibly weird species in different sizes was the view that greeted Elric and the rest of the crew.

The moment they laid their eyes on Kaora"s realm, Lesse and Long could not help but gape in wonder and astonishment.

"You have finally come." 

A gentle yet warm voice suddenly came from behind. Elric and the Eastern Dragon siblings instinctively jumped back, swiftly a.s.suming a battle stance before shocked gazes reflected in their faces.

Elric too watched the mysterious figure behind him and he could not help but gape in shock as well.

"You..." Elric muttered in a daze.

"Welcome to my world. Are you ready to stay here for the next ten thousand years?"

The greetings came from a man that looked exactly as Elric"s great grandfather - Lapu-Lapu. 

The only difference is that the man has hair made of white light and glowing eyes of pure white, not to mention, he is currently sitting cross-legged at the top of pure white Dragon"s head the size of the entire planet earth.

The man itself is a giant and even from incredibly long distance, his figure can be clearly seen. Even his voice felt like he was just talking beside them.
