It was also a warning cry to remind them of the terrifying power of the incoming intruders.

"Everyone in position! We have a powerful opponent ahead. I don't have any idea what they did to the Guardians that made them into such horrifying screams. Therefore, we must not underestimate this new enemy!", a commanding soldier that held a bigger golden spear shouted to his comrades.

Despite their last battle, their morale had been spiking lately especially after seeing the image of their beloved late Great Lord Mahar.

Even though the current Lord of the water realm is unconscious, they still hoped that Dash could wake up on time. Not to mention, there is a powerful human with power strong enough to take down an elemental Lord himself. The only problem is that they have no idea where he left.

Intelligence report stated that the human has gone far to the south in order to escape responsibilities of the damages he had done. Other more pessimistic gossiping creatures claimed that the human had already left the water realm after given a good punishment by the late King Mahar.

While there are also those who are hopeful and optimistic ones that Elric had only gone to rest and will surely come to their aid.

Whichever is the truth, one thing the commander is for sure, and that is they can only count on themselves for this time.

Whether a help will come or not is up to the almighty Fate.

"We must stand our ground and not let this foolish intruder come even a single inch-"

SLAM!

WHAAAM!

SLAAs.h.!.+

WHAAM!

BAAs.h.!.+

Just before the commander could finish his words five long distorted images of eastern Dragons charged in their post with a terrifying force.

The guard armies did not even see them coming as the intruding Thagdas used their water camouflage to hide their bodies. Only a faint water distortion could reveal a hint of their presence but with overwhelming speed, they looked as if nothing but a pa.s.sing current.

"Ughh..."

"My body... I can't feel it."

"What happened...- aaaghhh!"

Thanks to their golden armors, the guardian armies had managed to survive the forceful charges of the Thagdas, however, the sheer impact force left them stunned and terrified. Right before the guard armies could recover from their state, the Thagdas revealed themselves while munching on their feeble bodies.

CRUNCH!

MUNCH! MUNCH!

Aaaaagkkkkkg!

Like dogs biting their favorite bones, the five Thagdas munched on the disarray soldiers with furious greed.

"This water elemental soldiers taste a bit salty compared to humans."

"Food is still food!"

"Pueh! I hate this gold armors, they get stuck in between my fangs!"

"Just slosh it in. Our bottomless stomach will do the trick."

"I am excited to eat the half-breed. Where is he?"

While the four are busily munching the collapsed soldiers, their youngest who also happens to be their leader had been busily sniffing the surroundings which are vast and colorful land of the water realm and his dragonic eyes panned across the view, scanning for Elric's clue.

SNIFF-SNIFF-

"That's weird, his scent disappeared here. There is too much-distracting blood and dust everywhere and my senses can easily get lost." The leader mumbled.

"What do you mean you can't?" We have been tracking that half-breed for quite some time and no matter how faint the trace was, you always managed to find it. How come you can't do it now?" The fourth born asked with an arrogant tone.

"Why don't you trace it yourself then?"

"You are just getting lazy. Do your job properly."

"I said why don't you sniff it yourself?"

"I am tired."

"And you can't sniff like me. You are imperfect that's why you are useless."

"It was because of me that you have been gifted with such a good body. If it wasn't for them experimenting on me first, they would have never created you!"

"What a lame excuse that is."

ROOOAR!

ROOOOOOAR!~

The fourth born and the fifth one fought each other like mad beasts. Each of them had hated each other since the fourth born was always jealous of the Fifth born's perfect body. And the two of the strongest Thagdas started on a furious wrestle.

Meanwhile, back at the Golden Palace floating at the center of the water realm, the agonizing cries of the Water Guardian had finally reached the sleeping Dash. With his innate connection to the water realm, the little turtle woke up in his deep slumber.

With the images of the five Thagda's mercilessly devouring his native guards and the decapitation of the heads of the gigantic Guardian Eels, Dash's eyes went bloodshot with anger. The cries of his men whose bodies were crushed in their greedy fangs and the last second call for help reached his soul.

He had failed to protect the people of his own realm. An unstoppable burst of anger sent him in utter rage.

ROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAR!

Dash's body engulfed in blazing blue fire. The final gift of the late King Mahar in full revelation.

Thus, the Legend of Dash, the Blue Fire Gifted Lord of the Water Realm, is born.

Before his attending guardians and princess could react to stop him though, only traces of a bluish streak of scorching blue fire were left behind in the last location.
