This mystical city is called Harang.

It was a place safe from the reach of the ordinary humans due to the hostile weather condition above while this ancient city was perfectly hidden from the normal eyes nor any currently known human technology by a certain energy barrier that gives an impression to any satellite scanner above as if there was nothing.

All forms of current human technology are long bypa.s.sed by this certain barrier, not to mention its multifunctional abilities like serving as a natural filter from unwanted invaders, and indestructible protection in times of danger or attacks, just to name a few.

It was a city as big as new york but with weird-looking buildings that resembled beehives except for its bright blue-crystal-like color and has no holes - All in different varying sizes.

These beehive-like houses float around the perimeter of the wide city while encircling the one-biggest beehive in the middle that they refer to as The Mother where only those Ancient humans who have reached Ascendant stage live.

Ancient humans lived in this place for ten-thousand years which also served as their only central base around the world. Every single one of these Ancient Humans looked exactly the same aside from their varying heights and brain advancement.

They spent most of their time meditating as they only use knowledge as their only source of "food"; so when they hunt, it means that they travel to the normal human's land and find the most intelligent one and consume them.

Unlike The Guardians whose main purpose was to keep the balance and protect humanity from behind, the Ancient Humans are basically just a higher type of human race that long existed thousands of years ago and does not a.s.sociate themselves with any other races.

It was also because of the difference of these two Advanced Human kinds that they are in a constant fight.

The Guardians are the police while the Ancient humans are the thief. And every time they meet, an inevitable fight would usually happen and the result is revealed within a short three seconds. Because all they need to do is spot their enemy first and be the first one to unleash a mental barrage wins.

And because of these, the Ancient Humans do not dare to leave their base casually, but when they do, they form a tight defense of twelve-man crew whenever they hunt. Such was the case in Elrics'.

Ancient Humans firmly believed that the only purpose of life is to achieve the highest form of humanity by Ascending to divinity and reaching it requires gathering or sucking out the knowledge and natural talent of the ordinary humans to attain the highest form of intelligence and thereby, giving them access to the most advance thinking and technology.

Why study when you can just suck out the information out of the normal humans, right?

With the influx of new information appearing every day, the Ancient Humans firmly believe that the day for them to push for the highest form of Ascension is near. Thus, it is important that they would hunt the smartest of all humans, let them learn and learn and learn until they become ripe for their harvest.

On some rare occasions, they would hit the jackpot with the existence of the unique individuals that only comes out once every ten billion humans are born. They are those gifted with supernatural talent or abilities and they are the sweetest and most satisfying to consume of all.

Take Angel, for example, she was a girl with an unrevealed supernatural human ability.

If cultivated to her maturity, she would have unlocked the potential for photographic memory and an eye that is capable of detecting colors unrecognizable to the normal ones and, not to mention - night vision.

With such talent, Angel would have been able to see in the evening as if it was morning. These talents would have created a big breakthrough for her and possibly give an incredible breakthrough to humanity's genes study.

However, the Ancient humans succeded to calculate her existence timing and finding her was just a piece of cake with their advanced technology - the only problem was that an unexpected variable, in the form of Elric, has arrived in their equation that ultimately caused them an undesirable outcome of twelve sudden deaths of their own kind.

Currently, the top twelve highest-ranked Ancient Human has gathered inside The Mother and is discussing the unexpected engagement from an unknown a.s.sailant.

All their beady eyes were currently glowing in rainbow lights and s.h.i.+fting to different color hues simultaneously - they were watching the recovered pieces of memory playback from their fallen brothers.

Their lack of soul does not limit them from doing some memory scan, as they have created a certain technology that allows them to peer to each other last five seconds before dying - giving them a clue on what happened to their brother before it died.

From there, they saw everything that happened.

The other brothers died a sudden death and it showed an incredibly confusing scene - they died from their own power.

Watching the Eleventh's perspective, led them to the answer they had been looking for.

It was Elric. A good looking Asian with light brown eyes and hair. He stood around six feet in height and his presence did not even reveal any hostile aura - not until he moved. He suddenly punched their brother twice that instantly led to its quick shocking death.

The last one died without even knowing what happened as he was in the middle of devouring the special human child.

Stopping their simulcastineous memory scan, they all looked with blank faces at each other.

Their judgment, was that it was not an ordinary human. Probably a Dragon in human disguise.

Their cold blue eyes moved from left to right and back - they were relaying messages mentally.

And in just five seconds, they have reached a conclusion and the next action plan has been decided.

Then, they all suddenly levitated and continued to meditate inside the glorious Mother beehive as if nothing happened.

Speaking of a Dragon enemy, they seem to have just the perfect solution.

***

Not far from The Mother hive, a single black hive was floating motionlessly on the corner. It was the house of the finest Warrior they currently have.

Inside it rested a tall figure with bluish skin and a scar-riddled body. What made him even more different was the faint traces of Dragon scales all over his body - a sign of Dragon-blood overdose.

He has a long overflowing braided black hair that reaches his knees and exuded an aura of dangerous presence. One look to this being would induce panic to a normal human from sheer dominance alone.

He was one of the legendary survivors from the sudden blast of the G.o.d Reckoning Tribulation ten years ago.

"He looks familiar..." Arkhoz's mind was taken aback at the mental image of Elric he received from the Ascendant members of the Ancient Humans.

A frown was itched at his forehead as he remembered that eventful night ten years ago.

A night he will never forget as he witnessed the presence of a divine heavenly Eastern Ancestral Dragon for the first time in his life and the unexpected G.o.d Reckoning Tribulation that changed the course of the history forever.

He was once one of the leader of the hunting team from the Arkhan race, until that momentful time. He failed to capture Lesse and even lost his whole team during the battle. With such failure, the mothers.h.i.+p of the Arkhan race left there to die in the hands of the Dragon Kings, the Guardians and even the abomination that Elric had become.

He was there. Alone. Dying.

In that stormy night where the Black Ancestral Dragon went on a rampage, Arkhoz never felt so weak in his life before.

He was bleeding profusely from the multiple wounds he had sustained, desperate for help until one of the Ascendant members of the Ancient Humans suddenly appeared and lent him a helping hand.

Until then, he chooses to side to the Ancient ones and bow to fight for them and irradicate the Arkhan race before the Guardians could do it. After all, he knows how the Arkhans move to escape the chase of the Guardians.

"Could it be really you?" He thought.

He opened his eyes from his meditation as he received a mental command from the higher-ups. His body released a powerful gush of steam, revealing his well-toned bluish body.

His figure walked towards a certain table and grabbed the smoking black sword laying there. It was a sword he had been using to kill thousands of Dragons and Guardians in his life.

For the past ten years, he had devoted his time on intense training, dangerous guardian and dragon hunting missions and numerous physical advancement modifications initiated by the Ancient Humans made him one of the deadliest being that currently exist.

With such advancement in his const.i.tution, Arkhoz has never been this excited to hunt another Dragon before.

And his next target is Elric. The most mysterious being he currently knows.

"I have plenty of questions to ask you, puny human-lizard; but what I am really excited about..."

Archos mumbled to himself as his reflection in the s.h.i.+mmering black sword revealed his murderous excitement.

He licked the long blade with his long serpent-like tongue - leaving a long dripping saliva on the metal sheet.

"I just really wonder how delicious you taste now. hehe..."
