As such, under the command of the Dragon Queens and Kings, the whole land appeared to be like a vast Dragon's nest, Dragon can be seen in almost all directions, some are falling down while more are rising up in desperate effort to kill am abominable crow amidst them.

SLAAAs.h.!.+

WHAAAM!

AGHCK!

ARGGH!~

SLAAs.h.!.+~

WHAAAM!~

HAAAGHKGK!~

Elric wielded his flaming blue sword like a mad Dragon. With quick and flexible movements, he took down innumerable Dragons every second, leaving them falling down in burning anguish. However, despite his overwhelming power, he was still, after all, a solo fighter. Every time Elric closed one wound, another three of them will pierce through him!

***

"This Dragon is the real monster. Just look at him fighting back despite being outnumbered hundred thousand against one!" Arthur, the western Dragon King could not help but gulp in awe as he watched Elric stand his ground from the distance.

He imagined what would happen if it was him in Elric's place. He may boast to have the strongest defense among all Dragons in the whole world, but to stand in the middle of the Southern Dragon's deadly formation, he doubts he would last a second or two!

As Dragon Kings and Queens, they would normally lead the battle at the front, but right now, they need to remain intact in order to focus commanding their army. If the worst comes, they would just lunge together with their people if needed.

But right now is not the perfect time to be stupid. They must be patient and wait for a perfect opportunity. Obviously, they knew that they are losing more members with each pa.s.sing second all because of their promise for tempting rewards back at their land.

As long as it well helps in weakening Elric down, Leah, Arthur, and Fargor will not hesitate to spend the lives of their subordinates. One must also know that those who would back down under their command already knew what is waiting for them if they ever did so.

"Is it because of his Ancestral Dragon essence? Or could it be because of that weird Elemental ability that he wields?" Leah had been trying to figure out Elric's true source of abnormal strength. She lived more than ten thousand years in the world but she has never heard of a certain ability that allows a Dragon to naturally wield the Authority of Fire.

Unless he is not a Dragon but a real Elemental instead. However, what also made her even more curious is Elric's incredible adaptability and extraordinary senses against danger.

With Leah's sharp observation, it didn't take long for her to realize that Elric's injuries are purposely received by the latter just to avoid the more vital spots. These only add more to her surprise.

"Wait...could this be soul observation!?" Leah came to a conclusion after watching Elric fight for quite some time. 

It was not a power of natural senses but an observation using a soul's perspective!

"It seems, he is not just a being that possesses the Ancestral Dragon essence, he also happens to have Fire and Water Elemental authority and a powerful soul that gives him an extraordinary observation ability and an unyielding will. 

"Arthur! Fargor!" Leah called for the two Dragon Kings. The two quickly replied with a turn of their head. Their faces flushed red from watching their people dying under Elric's hand every second. As much as they wanted to fight, they might just end up just like their people, and the moment they fall is the same as a loss for their entire race. Right now, having the Dragon Kings or Queen charge forward is the stupidest thing to do against a terrifying foe like Elric.

"Whatever it is, it better work this time. Do you know how many Dragons on my side are dead and injured at the moment?" Arthur beckoned angrily towards Leah.

"..." Fargor did not utter a single word but the facial expression he is currently making is the same as Arthur. 

"You are not just the one losing people at the moment! Your Dragons dying is also partly your fault! Now listen to me if we want to end this on our favor." Leah quickly retorted with a cold tone. 

Arthur and Fargor could only helplessly listen. Among them, they knew that Leah is the smartest one, thus she makes the best strategy among all Dragon Kings.

Seeing that Leah finally got the two King Dragon's attention, she started with a serious tone.

"Our members are dying every second and we can't just stand idly at the back. Let's be bold and do sacrifices if we must just defeat that abomination." Leah told them.

"And what do you suggest?" Arthur coldly replied.

"I am willing to cast aside half of my lifespan just to do the forbidden blood spells. Can I get the same effort from you two?" 

Hearing her suggestion, Arthur drops of sweat suddenly popped out of Arthur's scaly head.

"Are you crazy!? You do know what that means right?! Aren't you supposed to be the smartest among us? Just what happened to your brain and-"

"Losing half of my life span just to receive possible breakthrough to immortality, anyone who knows math should know what that means. But if it's you, I don't expect you will understand what that means anyway." Leah mockingly replied with a condescending glare towards Arthur.

"That-"

With hesitation in his face, Arthur was just about to talk back when he heard the usual silent Fargor talk.

A forbidden Dragon blood spell is a wide area spell that would usually bring unbelievable buff effects to her subordinates. Boosting their power and giving her entire race another push to taking down Elric once and for all. The only downside of the forbidden Dragon blood spell is that it would take away lifespan in exchange for using such skill and only the Dragon Kings or Queens can do such spell.

"I will do it too. I will give not just fifty percent of lifespan but ninety-five percent instead." Fargor replied immediately. His eyes glaring with an unyielding glare.

"Ninety-are-you-kidding-me-five!?" Arthur felt like he just lost his b.a.l.l.s from Fargor's words. They knew how serious and determined the Southern Dragons are, but to willingly brush off almost all his lifespan just for this single opportunity. Has he gone mad?

"I expect no less from you Fargor. Unlike that kid-King of the Western Region." Leah smiled towards Fargor. As expected of the Southern Dragon King. He is as determined as ever.

"Very well. I will do my part as well, instead of fifty percent, I will do ninety-five as well." Not wanting to back down on this opportunity, Leah added.

"You too are getting crazy..." Arthur felt like he was a kid in the middle of an adult stage. As a new Dragon King recently hailed ten years ago in place of his father, there are still plenty of things he needs to learn from the older ones.

The longer the battle continued, the more b.l.o.o.d.y mess Elric became. The Southern Dragons may be weak compared to the Western and Northern Dragons in terms of defense and vitality, however, they sure made up to their mistake with terrifying offensive abilities that make even the Dragons of the West and North back down.

"This is bad. I need to recover!" Elric is now completely covered in blood. Considering the unceasing offense brought over by the Southern Dragons even his natural Ancestral level healing was not enough to keep up with his stacking injuries. It was only thanks to his quick thinking on using his water elemental healing ability that he still managed to continue fighting, else he would have succ.u.mbed long ago!

Elric finally realized the danger of continuing his current flight. He needs to do something that will settle everything quickly. Else that battle will continue until he finishes them all, and he is afraid he doesn't have the stamina to wipe down three Dragon races in one go. If only it was only one race, it may have been possible with his current strength. Unfortunately, the western, northern, and southern Dragon races are in collaborations. 

There are times that the western Dragons and northern ones would hurl over offensive attacks that aimed to block his movements, cover his vision and even a single millisecond of stopping him is as dangerous him losing his head! 

From all directions, Elric hacked, block with his wings, claw them into pieces, whipped his long tail, bite and even shoot blue fireb.a.l.l.s using his mouth. All kinds of offensive options, Elric did not hesitate to use just to survive.

ROOOOOAR!~

The land was raining. Not with water droplets, but blood and body of fallen Dragons. Under Elric's unyielding determination, he has decided to put an end to the three Dragon races.

His eyes are in bloodshot from overexerting, but like a madman, he continued to smile and fought without any hesitation.

Elric seems to be enjoying the battle.
