Chapter 39: Preparing To Hunt

"Why are you here? This is my territory." Lang exuded a hostile stare to the newly arrived dragon only to be ignored. Seeing the battered state of Lang who is known to be the strongest dragon of the Eastern region, they got more curious about the being hidden beneath the ground.

"How dare are you to ignore me, Lang the king of the Eastern Region and-!"

"You standing in front of us in a battered state is such a disgrace to the Dragon Race. Get away from our sight!" Leah confronted Lang right before he could finish his word.

"Just how strong is the pest over there to give you so much trouble Lang?" Arthur spoke with a hint of ridicule in his face.

Despite being respected figures of the Four Regions, Lang wanted to give Leah and Arthur a good bite to their neck to teach them a lesson but he remembered that he needs to focus on regaining his strength back before the creature from below resurface again.

Suddenly Lou arrived behind Lang in an even more terrible state. He was busy crushing madly the fleeing Arkhans a while ago after saving his sister only to be stunned by the powerful shock of Elric hatching out of the Cocoon of Fire.

"Where have you been?" Lang asked in frustration.

"Father forgive me, I was knocked by the powerful shock a while ago."

"Hmp! And where is your sister? Is she still playing dead?"

"Father I have hidden her in a safe place and given her the Grade A healing pill. She should be awake in about a day or two considering she was hurt badly even her bones have been crushed to pieces."

"I see..."

After contemplating for a while, Lang gave Lou another instruction.

"Listen, I need you to take your sister away and go back to the kingdom. Tell the Elders to send the Tribal leaders here and reinforce the barrier. I have a hint that this is gonna be a strong cockroach to kill and I don't want him to find our kingdom in any case..."

Lou was surprised to see his father being worried for the first time. As a Dragon who values pride over anything, worrying is not really in their dictionary. Lou knew his father is a ruthless Dragon king who would never hesitate to abandon a weakling.

But this time, his father genuinely showed fear and worry in his face. Lou knew that his father would never show these emotions if the situation is that easy. He had a feeling that the real danger is yet to come and this could be the last time that he is seeing his Dragon King father breathing.

"What are you doing here still standing? Now! GAAAH~"

Lang gave Lou a good spank of a fire and the latter flew away swiftly towards Lesse's direction.

"Be careful father, we will be waiting for you." You sent one more message to his father but he was already focused on recovering his body.

You did not know that his father was an even sorry state than Lesse. With broken bones and internal bleedings slowing his recovery significantly. it was only by his pride that does not want to show weakness to anybody that he is still standing. Much less in front of the other Kings and Queen of the Four Regions.

"It's finally coming." Leah suddenly said and the rest of the Dragon King's split in four directions to cover the fearsome being's exit.

Arthur stood in the western direction together with Lucas their body leaned closer to the ground like a tiger ready to pounce on its prey.
