"After all. Don't you guys owe us what you have?" Elric added, reflecting back the condescending stare to the agonizing Ancient Humans. His message was meant to every single on the creepy Ancient Humans watching at him at the moment.

Sensing the hostile glares, Elric sighed deeply.

"Before we fight, let's keep the innocent safe alright?"

SNAP!

All the other normal humans in the area including Romeo and all his children had been put to sleep with a simple snap of Elric's finger - he used a weak but powerful vibration from his fingers to cause them to lose consciousness without sustaining any significant injury.

At the same time, the eyes of the Ancient Humans in the surroundings glowed from deep-cold blue to an ominous red. That one glare that looks like from the Terminator movie - with his facial human skin removed.

Elric's attack on one of the twelve creepy Ancient Humans did not go unnoticed with their very keen surveillance. In return, their hostile glare was focused solely on him.

Swiftly, everyone reacted simultaneously and launched a ranged mental attack against Elric.

Nyu-nyu-nyum~

A creepy sound of invisible biomagnetic wave hara.s.sed Elric from all different directions, bringing forth an unexplainable amount of power that could induce a self-destructive command. Not to mention, getting hit by these attacks would instantly shut down the human brain or worst - explode it from the inside.

These Ancient Humans would attack Elric without any sense of pity nor any power held back. Once they saw one of the so-called "lower-beings" attacks back at them, they would never hesitate to teach it a lesson to remind them of where they belong. They did not look as surprised as before as it was not the first time that a "lower being" managed to communicate with them in the first place.

However, Elric is an abomination out of their expected calculation. And any variable that possesses a different number would ultimately pose a dangerous threat to the diversion of their initial target.

Just as their deadly mental a.s.sault reached Elric, his mouth moved to chant a mysterious word using an Elemental language.

"Mind of the Water. Reflection of the Moonlight."

Elric chanted one of his hidden cards as a wielder of the Authority of Water.

His eyes reflected that of a calm moon on the water. Hidden deep of mysterious calmness and reflection created an unimaginable mental barrier and deflected all the Ancient Human's mental a.s.sault back at them - with ten times the normal power.

ACkcks.h.!.+~

Ughr!~

Agggh~

Rugghgh~

All the ten distant Ancient Humans suddenly collapsed at the deflection of their mental a.s.sault. Their brains exploded from the inside and they all died without even putting up a single fight. And as quickly as they collapsed - their body disintegrated into dust as if they were never there in the first place. Not even a trace of their soul can be found.

The Ancient Human's mission there was to extract a certain "talent and intelligence" from a gifted lower being called Angel and to investigate the abnormal trace of the certain "Elemental Invader" that appeared a few days ago back at Colorado river.

However, as their investigation proceeded, their findings failed to find the invader Elemental that has entered the human realm. Their greatest clue leads them to the unconscious human who also seems to possess an incredibly pure Dragon blood which could also mean that he must be an Elder Dragon in human's disguise.

And so they waited until it wakes up before they can observe it from the distance and confirm more of their initial suspicions. After all, as a universally accepted rule, they are not allowed to touch a Dragon in the first place unless that Dragon becomes a threat to the balance of the world.

But the way things unfolded, it appears that he wasn't actually just a Dragon at all. Instead, he was a Dragon threat that could reveal the truth about them - on how they feed out of the intelligence, talent and life essence of the lower beings.

Lower Beings or also known as just "Humans" are just mere food for the advanced Ancient Humans. But it was not the kind of consumption where they would devour on the meat of the lower beings but to their inert intelligence, talent, and life essence.

It was one way for them to maintain the balance of the world, or else, they would risk the quick re-evolution of the human minds with their rapidly growing intelligence and could also potentially lead to their "awakening" and become another form of an advanced civilization. And if their activities on how they had been suppressing ordinary humans get revealed to the public, their greatest fear of facing an angry race of humankind will only bring in more trouble to their lives.

And in that case, they would have no choice but to induce another atomic war between these humans, eliminating the potential threats discreetly and blame it to their fellow humans and to make them start from scratch again.

Yes. This is the true face of Ancient Humans.

Their history has been hidden from ordinary humans since hundreds of thousands of years ago and never had they planned to reveal themselves to the public. All evidence that leads to them had been the hidden will and anyone who would find would only deem to suffer on an unexpected death - caused by them of course.

Ancient Humans had always wanted to become the most advanced civilization that no other races, neither the spiritual, elemental, Dragons or other unknown races could challenge them.

And they knew that to advance, they have to shed down all the primitive nature and ideals; and strive for the highest form of intelligence in exchange for what made them "humans" in the first place.

Basically, having lost their emotions due to their greed for intelligence and talent, they have long lost their hearts for compa.s.sion, kindness and ultimately, their soul. A trade that they deemed worthy of value.

In fact, their hearts were two times smaller than that of an ordinary human's, but their brains are almost doubled in sizes as represented by their extrlarge heads.

Such bigger heads gave them access to information and technologies that ordinary human minds could only imagine - thanks to the billions of extraordinary humans, from the unknown length of time, who's intelligence and talent had been taken away for their own consumption and advancement.

Telepathy, stealth, natural hypnotic ability, Advanced Psychic Senses, super memories, and even levitation is just one of their normal abilities - these ultimately led them to think of themselves as the "higher beings".

But right now, one of the proud "higher-beings" is eating the dirty mud, limping in pain from Elric's gut punch.

Their body had gone too dependent on their magical-like abilities that their physical defense is so d.a.m.ned pathetically low. Just like how a mage has lower defense compared to fighter cla.s.ses, these advanced Ancient Humans were too confident of the blind superiority that they never expected one of their lower beings could touch them.

Before Elric, they were just gla.s.s cannons. Powerful but could not stand any sh*t.

"You. Dragon. How..." confusion was clearly obvious at the face of the kneeling one. One of his hands is glowing green while touching his stomach - healing the internal damage he had sustained.

The pain from Elric's punch was still lingering in his stomach - few ribs had been dislocated actually.

"Why don't you calculate. Isn't that what you guys do the best?" Elric answered as he walked towards the other remaining Ancient Humans.

When the Ancient Humans are on the process of consuming a lower-being's mind, they put their guards at the lowest to focus all of its senses and attention to devouring the information and talent. After all, who could actually touch them nor threaten them? It's not like G.o.d will suddenly send an angel down right?

As such, it failed to realize that almost all of its comrades have actually died and faded into dust; and the culprit is slowly heading its way.

"Wait. You. Abomination. Dragon. " The kneeling creep had finally healed his injury and his figure teleported before Elric.

"Move." Elric whispered with a serious tone.

"You. Dragon. Made. Mistake. Harming. Us." The creepy one said with a regained proud look.

"Golden rule. Unto-unto others. Unto-unto you. I just returned the favor back to them," Elric replied.

"Suffer. Consequences. Dragon." The creep said as its eyes turned into red and were about to shot Elric with another eye-attack. This attack was aiming to disintegrate Elric into nothing with sheer command-to-matter alone, but before he could do...

BAs.h.!.+~

Elric's fist has already blasted a large hole into its stomach, ultimately stopping the proud creep from executing its attack.

It was a punch just too fast that it failed to react in time again. It's huge eyes grew so wide in shock and pain that its head failed to process the next step of its supposed to be "mental-action-plan".

"You..."

BAs.h.!.+~

Its head followed to smithereens.

Elric destroyed the eleventh one with two hits of his blinding-fast fist. A one-two-combo style he learned from Pacquiao, sending the arrogant being into eternal "Dustyness".

"One more," Elric said while walking towards the last remaining Ancient Human, whose eyes and other senses are still closed from the addicting feeling of consuming an innocent girl's intelligence and talent.

"Guess I will have to deal with your race first before going back to the Elemental Realm," Elric said as he finally made up his mind.

He could not bear to see any more of his fellow human race to get "devoured" by theses selfish advanced-scoundrels who only think of themselves and treated humans like livestock!

Just how much would have they advanced if not for their interference? If not for him realizing the truth from the Word Knowledge, he would have never found out about this absolute racial corruption happening all alone!

"Did the government know about this? Just how much is actually hidden from us? I must find out."

Just how many lives have they sucked out from us? The innocent lives gone, the futures destroyed because of their greed for knowledge. Just how many scientists have they robbed out of their intelligence? Just when are we going to fight back?

"These must be stopped." His eyes revealed a burning fire of determination and unfathomable confidence.

He realized that everything that happened from the start is finally making sense to him.

His steps are being guided by an unknown force.

It was, after all, never a coincidence for him to obtain the power of the Ancestral Dragon and everything else that followed.

It seems this was his fate all along!

"So am I G.o.d's retribution after all?"

A series of the crispy popping of his fingers accompanied his advancing steps.

"So be it."
