The monster kept circling the s.h.i.+ps for five minutes investigating the situation and do not have the intention to attack. Then it suddenly dives further down until it shadow barely visible from the surface. When everyone on the ritual s.h.i.+p were wondering what the monster is doing, it resurfaces next to the offering s.h.i.+p, haft its head is above water trying to bite through the s.h.i.+p hull, making the offering s.h.i.+p rocking intensively. But the strange thing is… although the s.h.i.+p is being attack and rocking intensively, the people on the offering s.h.i.+p still stay motionless on their seat when normally they should be throw around in it. Then a loud crack resounded, the offering s.h.i.+p's hull subdued to the monster jaw, from the crack on the s.h.i.+p, black oil oozing out into it mouth. Before it can react Emperor Lam leap to the ritual s.h.i.+p bow, he shoved the cultist leader aside, took a deep breath and breathing fire on the offering s.h.i.+p. The oil vapour in the offering s.h.i.+p caught fire and exploded, engulfed the offering s.h.i.+p and the monster head in a fire ball. Debris from the offering s.h.i.+p flying everywhere, some pieces of them landed on the deck of the ritual s.h.i.+p, partially burned human figure made of cloth and stuffed with straw.

"Wha…what is this?" The cultist leader staring at Emperor Lam, one he saw those straw figures.

"What is the meaning of this? Suk Lam?" The cultist leader yelled

"Seize him!" Emperor Lam point at the cultist leader

But when the sailors about to grab him, the cultist leader jump overboard from the s.h.i.+p bow. However, everyone ignores him, for right now, in front of the ritual s.h.i.+p, the monster is floating leadenly on the surface. Look like the explosion had stunned it. Emperor Lam quickly order the sailor to throw hook ropes at it mouth to keep it from dive back to the water. After all the ropes had secured Emperor standing at the s.h.i.+p bow charging his lightning spell, ready to deliver a killing blow. But the monster suddenly regained consciousness, it jolted intensively trying to free itself from the hook ropes causing the s.h.i.+p to rock violently, the s.h.i.+p hull let out terrify cracking sounds every time the monster lugging on the ropes. Then the hook ropes starting to snap one by one. The situation is worsening. They have come this far and let the monster escapes again? Then without thinking Emperor Lam leaping to the port side and jump overboard.

A minute later, right at the spot where Emperor Lam jumped overboard, a large head rose up from the water, a dragon head. A blue dragon emerged from the water, it snout it long like an alligator and full of sharp teeth with a long black goatee under its chin. On top of its head is a pair of deer like antler and a black mane, it scales s.h.i.+ne like polished blue marble, the dragon turn it swan like neck toward the s.h.i.+p bow and snap off all the ropes with it sharp teeth, freed the s.h.i.+p. With all the rope snapped off the monster try to dive back to the depth but the blue dragon quickly intercept, its powerful jaw grabbed on one of the monster fin and tear it off, blood from the wound turned entire area red. The monster convulsing in pain and turn its body around try to bite at the dragon long neck, but the pain from it burned throat, blood lost from the wound and the shock from the explosion had made it slow and the dragon easily avoided. In return the dragon sank it teeth in the monster belly right at the area below the monster gill, and then plugged it front claws under the monster gill cover, the dragon's rear legs gutting the monster belly. Finally, with it mighty strength, the dragon twist it neck and torn the monster head off, with the monster head still in its mouth, the dragon proceeds to resurface. After emerged, the dragon threw the monster head on the s.h.i.+p deck while everyone cheering on upon seeing the dragon emerged victorious.

"THE SON OF DRAGON! THE SON OF DRAGON!" they cheering.

As they cheering and chanting, the dragon eyes turn white, it body starting to convulsing and shrinking down until it turn into a figure of a man, Emperor Suk Lam of Varlann empire. Exhausted after transform to his dragon form Emperor Lam cannot lip a limb, so the crew have to pull him back to the s.h.i.+p and clothed him, after that they head back to Qualoh with the news of the monster dead.
