This is more especially to those who are at the higher ranks.

The previous collaborative attacks were an agreed tactic first suggested by Leah the Queen Dragon of the North and helplessly agreed by the rest of the King Dragons provided they will stick to the plan.

But the sudden rolling attack initiated by Arthur, the current King Dragon of the West, was not a part of their collaboration. Clearly it was an attempt to try and grab the trophy for himself knowing that Elric had spent quite enough of his energy trying to survive their last combined attack.

But who could have thought that the latter still had more aces under its sleeve? Not only he completely confirmed his ident.i.ty as the mad Black Dragon from the past, but he also seems to have acquired a different form of strength that made him even a more fearful being, clearly surpa.s.sing their expectation.

The Rolling Rock strategy was one of their most destructive ability considering its sheer power and defense in the form of the solid Rock b.a.l.l.s that even the Queen Dragon of the North and the King Dragon of South would find it hard to defend against. Surely, it would have been a brutal and splatter of blood that should be splattered everywhere.

Basically speaking, if Arthur used the same attack against the rest of the Dragon Regions, hi chances of winning was actually almost guaranteed. 

But Elric was an exemption. A being that was slowly inching for complete control of the Ancestral Dragon's essence. Paired by Elric's fire and water Elemental abilities and an unexpected spiritual power made him a being that currently sits at the pinnacle of all creatures in the world.

No wonder why almost all of the strongest beings and races are after him. The Shadows, the Ancient Humans, Arkhans, Guardians, and even the creeping Elementals are present not far from them - all waiting for a perfect opportunity to s.n.a.t.c.h Elric for themselves.

The moment those creepers will successfully get Elric, the chances of them dominating the world would be closer in their grasp. As for the Dragons, Elric is an abomination that should be destroyed. But knowing the benefit of Elric's current body and essence, he can also be considered as the most sought after "Elixer" for all Dragon hunters.

Elric, in his ma.s.sive Dragon form, had successfully deflected all the thousands of the Rock b.a.l.l.s sent to him by Arthur. Unfortunately for the latter, Elric remained unscathed even after all his effort.

The entire place was surrounded by huge chunks of crumbled earth with bodies of the Western Dragons lying feebly inside like newly hatched Dragons.

SHOOOOs.h.!.+~

The next instant, Elric left a blurry line as he appeared before Arthur who is currently gasping for air, trying to recover his strength as fast as possible. Elric delivered a swift claw strike, aiming to cut the other into two.

CRAASGGH!~

BOOOOOM!~

BOOOOOOOM!~

"Ugh!~ Too fast!"

Fortunately, Arthur managed to summon his earth defense to cover his front, saving himself from getting clawed into pieces by Elric. Also, it was thanks to Leah and Fargo's unexpected fireblast that Elric has to also defend himself, giving Arthur the time to back away.

"We can't afford to lose one more King Dragon at the moment. I know it is a stupid idea to help a stupid Dragon like you. But with the enemy like this one at the front and a reward waiting after, I am afraid we have to use everything at our disposal." Leah bellowed towards Arthur and the latter could only look down in shame.

If it would have been before, he would have retorted in violence already. Unfortunately, right now, he is truly indebted to the two Dragon King and Queens. Else, he would have been a goner knowing Elric's unexplainable strength. 

"Let's move about how stupid you are for now. Let's move ahead to the second plan." Leah added and the rest of the Dragon Kings nodded in reply. Leah was smart enough to devise a plan ahead with adjustments considering their current enemy.

"What a shame, if only I could take him for myself, I could not imagine the terrifying power under my command... By then, finis.h.i.+ng this two and dominating the whole world for myself would be really easy." Leah thought to herself as she locked her sight at Elric's direction.

The two fireblasts that Leah and Fargor were timed perfectly when Elric was in the middle of executing an attack against the ma.s.sive yellow Dragon that is also known as the King Dragon of the North.

By using his wings, Elric managed to cover himself and defend against their blow, the only downside is that he lost the other King Dragon.

As much as he wanted to chase after the coward King, he is afraid that they would switch their attacks against the last two Eastern Dragons behind him and risking his grandma's body along the way.

His body craved for an all-out fight, but the moment he would go wild, he might just end up harming the people he is supposed to protect.

Out of his conscience, he has decided to help Lesse and Long to get the Eastern Dragon's former glory back. But in order to do so, he must help them survive first. Not to mention, he still had to go to the Realm of Darkness to find and save his grandma's soul, possibly in the hands of the so-called emperor. 

Just when Elric was about to proceed and fight back, he noticed something weird at his enemy's movement, all their heads were pointed towards a certain direction. Their mouth channeling their strongest fire blast that one could see the heat building up inside their wide mouths.

A frown quickly formed at Elric's face.

"As expected." Leah smiled wickedly. Unfortunately, the subtle frown at Elric's dragon face did not go unnoticed with her ever sharp eyes. It might have been a simple gesture but for her, it meant a lot.

Elric's biggest weakness was lying in an open area all this time! As it turns out, he seems to be protecting those last two Eastern Dragons. Not to mention, the human that is currently being hidden in between the ma.s.sive snake-like bodies of the eastern Dragons seems to have something to do with Elric.

Whatever the reason is behind, Leah's suspicion is now almost guaranteed. She only needs one more thing to do to confirm it though.

"Destroy those eastern Dragon abominations and don't leave anyone alive! Now!" Leah suddenly commanded.

And under the guidance of the two other King Dragons, they all unleashed their powerful fire blast towards the two Eastern Dragons coiled defensively inside their own barrier.

The moment their defensive barrier shatters, the human hiding inside will be as good as cooked. Leah is pretty excited about how Elric would react until then. Will she see an unexpected weak side out of this powerful monster?

Well, let the fireb.a.l.l.s launched over tell the truth.

BWAAAAH!~

SHOOOOSH~

BHAAAAA!~

SHRUUUUUSH~

BUWAAAAA!~

FROOOOOSH~

BWAAA!~

Thousands of fire with varying colors and brining forth destructive capacity were simultaneously launched towards Lesse and Long's direction. 

Seeing the terrifying union of power inching closer to destroy them, Lesse could not help but panic. Quickly, he asked for help from Elric.

"He-help! Help Us!" Lesse beckoned toward Elric.

"I don't think our barrier is strong enough to withstand this attack!" Long added with huge droplets of sweat popping out of his scaly face.

"At this rate, we might be able to survive but I can't be sure if the human with us will make it!" Time seems to slow down in Lesse's perspective. She realized as the fire inched closer, she felt like death is inching slower as well.

Her eyes looked for Elric only to see the latter not moving from his original location.

"I guess it's up to us then." Lesse weakly mumbled with disappointment clearly seen in her face. 

Guess it was too much for them to hope for now.

They were, after all, just a burden to Elric anyway. Maybe if they are gone, he might be able to fight properly. It's was just that, she actually hoped. That Elric would at least compensate by saving them this time.

Lesse closed her eyes, prepared to face the incoming barrage of fire from the hundreds of thousands of Dragons from different regions.

But unlike her, Long kept his eyes and guard up.

Lesse waited for the explosions and scorching heat to barrel over. 

She waited with her eyes closed, but seconds went by and her expected attacks did not reach her.

"No way...." Lesse heard her brother mumbled with awe lingering in his voice.

Curious, Lesse opened her eyes only to see a ma.s.sive stream of colorful fire forming a long curve.

Instead of going straight to them, the terrifying amount of fire went to an unexpected u-turn, as if getting sucked, they all traveled towards Elric and slowly gathered in his hands.

FWOOOONG~

Elric looked like a Fire G.o.d Dragon. He was at the very center of the colliding fire from all directions and his hands seem to have become a vortex sucking the fire unceasingly.

Lesse, Long, Leah, Fargor, Arthur, and everyone else looked at Elric with unshakable s.h.i.+vering crawling in their knees. 

Two ma.s.sive swords of colorful fire are currently burning with rapid sparks of blue lightning covering this flaming sword.

FWOOOSH~

ROOOOOAAAAR!~

It was their first time to see a dual-sword wielding Dragon.

"Why don't you take a bite of your own medicine." Elric smiled wickedly as he fully spread his dark red and green wings under the bright s.h.i.+mmer of the sun. The two flaming swords are gripped tightly with both his hands while his long tail gracefully waved in the air.
