The Guardians, who are supposed to protect the humans and the world unexpectedly did not make any significant effort to stop the current disaster.

"Help! Help! There is a giant monster burning houses everywhere!"

"Everyone hide! Quick!~"

"This way! This way hurry! Hurry!"

"Moooomaaaa! huhuhuhhhuuu"

"My baby! Where is my baby!?"

WeeeeooohhWeeeoooooh!~

The whole town is in panic, people are running everywhere in search of safety while firefighters desperately tried their best to put out the fires everywhere. Ambulances continued to crowd the streets, cars, and people made the traffic worst while the rest remains in utter chaos fleeing in depair.

Elric, who has been corrupted by the Dragon Essence and the ultimate suspect of all this terror, had been busy burning countless people to crisp, turning houses into dust and was munching leisurely his midnight snack - an F50 Fighter jet which ended up in his mouth after it shot him with missiles.

Elric was the embodiment of a demon at the moment. Not as a Dragon but a merciless Demon!

No one could imagine what is currently going on in his mind.

A couple of tanks came and tried their best to defend against Elric's otherworldly power only to meet their demise under the barrage of his unholy black fire.

Soldiers would creep out of their hideouts only to die in burning agony. Under Elric's devilish eyes, no humans are safe even if they hide from the deepest pit of the world!

***

Inside the unstoppable Dragon's mind, Elric's life essence continued to slowly fade.

The overwhelming Corruption of Hate and Darkness left him unable to control his body and he became a monster that he is now.

"STOP! NOOOO!!!!"

But despite losing the control of his body, a sliver of his spirit and consciousness remains, desperately fighting the darkness corroding his soul.

"PLEASE, I BEG YOU! G.o.d! HELP ME!! PLEASE, SOMEBODY!"

Desperately asking for G.o.d, Elric cried in his thought for every life that became a victim from his uncontrolled slaughter.

To every house, he burns, to every family he squashed with his huge tails. Elric could do nothing but watch as these people beg for help. Not even the children are spared with his brutal ma.s.sacre as they cried for mercy.

His eyes reflected the faces of these people who are covered in blood and fire. Burning in front of him.

Weeping and hurting, Elric can see and feel it all.

They all cried helplessly and hopeless as he continued to rampage as he flew everywhere. Finally, his view changed to a small house in the middle of a small farm.

Elric's eyes contracted in fear at the sight.

It was his grandmother standing outside the house. Elric's huge and ferocious body landed in front of her while she stood on the spot unmoving.

Time suddenly stopped.

The sound, they dissapeared. The wind became quite. The chaotic background blurred in his eyes.

The scent was just too familiar for him.

Before him, is the person he wanted to see desperately; but with his current state, Elric would rather die than to meet her right now.

Elric could see every detail of her face, the wrinkle brought by time. The warm eyes were full of love and the soft brown arms shrouded by gentleness. Her old white hair swayed slowly from the flutter of his giant wings. She was still wearing her kitchen dress.

Elric could not utter a word at this scene.

He suddenly felt the familiar feeling of coming back home from the school. Where his only parent stood at the door, waiting patiently and asking him slowly how was his day.

Tears poured out of Elric's eyes uncontrollably.

"If only I did not leave...If only.." Condemnation overwhelmed Elric.

He blamed himself for leaving home despite his Grandmother's request to stay. She was worried and old and only cared about him all along, but he chose to follow his stupid desire and curiosity!

Oh, how he wishes he could turn back time.

But now its too late, Elric is about to witness the death of his grandmother - by his own hands.

She just stood there on the spot. Surprisingly his grandmother showed no fear before his ma.s.sive dark-dragon body.

Elric could see her eyes full of calmness like the untouched river in the middle of the forest. She just stood, never backing and never afraid.

The more Elric looked at his grandmother, he could not help but cry his eyes out. It might just be a sliver but she must have felt it too.

The "Lukso ng Dugo" or the Leap of Blood only felt by your closest family member. Truly, her love never fades no matter how dangerous he has become.

"G.o.d, please don't make me do this. She is the only family I have!" Elric cried in helplessness. With every little strength he has, he was willing to bet them for just an opportunity to stop himself.

He remembered the Ancestral Dragon that promised him that will protect his family when he accepted the Dragon Essence, he could not help but cursed in his heart.

"d.a.m.n you lying Dragon! You promised me you will protect my family! Now, what is this!? I will find you even if you hide in heaven!"

Elric could try to blame, curse, or get mad about almost anything. But nothing can stop the reality in front of him. His menacing Dragon eyes are locked at the old and fragile figure of his grandmother.

"Please G.o.d. Stop me. I am begging you!..." Elric begged and cried. He could see his grandmother standing before him and he could not do anything to stop himself from killing her.

The huge and slimy mouth of the Dragon slowly opened. Preparing to devour her.

"G.o.d no..no..no... PLEASE!"

His head slowly came closer and closer to his grandmother with saliva and blood mixed in between the gap of his sharp b.l.o.o.d.y jaws.

"G.o.d, TAKE MY LIFE! PLEASE! TAKE ME! NOT HER! ME! PLEASE!"

Elric does not want to look at his only family getting devoured, but his eyes and senses are connected to the Dragon's body.

Whatever the creature sees, he could see it too. Every detail, every sound, every taste, and every bite.

Suddenly, Elric could hear his grandmother whisper her last words.

"Is that you... El?"

Elric's eyes grew in shock and tears.

"I have been waiting for you...you little b.a.s.t.a.r.d. I do not know what happened to you but.." With a smile that seems to melt his eyes, she added:

"Take care of yourself..."

And right before his huge mouth finally closes...

"And don't forget to wash your teeth before you sleep okay?-"

Shut.
