Chapter 18: Going for Hunt
"Yes. But there is also a 20% chance of going towards central cities of Vietnam and 10% Indonesia"
"Judging from your calculations, it is possible that this Dragon is trying to ask for help from other hidden Dragons in southeast Asia."
"But Dragons are prideful creatures and do not like to ask for help. Is it possible that..."
"Possibly... but who knows. If it is one of those royal dragons. After all the last two royal dragons whom we failed to catch went hiding in the Philippines and the other in Indonesia."
"You are right. This could be great news for our people if we happen to catch this one."
"Indeed. I have never tasted a royal dragon after all. Keep looking" said Arkhoz with an exciting look.
"Understood." replied the staff.
Just when Arkhoz was about to leave, the beep suddenly sounded in the monitor.
"We just received a tribulation lightning signal! Location confirmed at Northeastern Cebu, latitude 11.28, longitude 123.73!" Shouted the staff. The other people nearby also stood up in attention, waiting for more details to be said.
"What's the tribulation strength?!" Arkhoz immediately stood behind the staff.
"It's a type 2, level 10 lightning."
"It's a superior lightning type with a level 10 strength! This is a huge catch! Update me for additional details, I will be personally leading the hunting group."
"But sir, this is another royal one! Shouldn't we wait for Team A and B?"
"That dragon would recover her full strength in just an hour. We do not have the moment to waste here. I am leading my party right away."
"Noted but please be advised that there must be something else in the area aside from the dragon. The system has actually two small traces of local Elemental energies from different entities. It is also possible to have a human nearby!"
Arkhoz immediately tapped on his earpiece to connect to his communication channel with his Hunting team.
"Stealth team C, prepare to go. We are hunting a royal one and a bunch of possible Elementals fuzzies in the Philippine island."
"A royal one? Now that is exciting!"
"Affirmative."~
"Affirmative"
"Got it. Going now!"
"All right!"
---
A series of nine excited voices immediately replied at Arkhoz's command.
"I must have this! A Royal dragon blood and meat would surely allow me to break my bottleneck and reach the next level. My brothers will not look down on me anymore after this hunt!" Arkhoz's deep red eyes were full of burning determination.
"Let's go hunt that royal dragon!"

In the middle of the night, 10 invisible fighting jets flew out of The Arkan ship and dashed towards the location of Elric. This is not just ordinary fighting jets but stealth ones capable of hiding their traces in the human eyes and even bypassing the detection ability of the modern radar devices used by the airports and security agencies.
In just a matter of a few minutes, they have traveled thousands of kilometers already.
"Everyone lock on my target. Let's divide in the group a and b. When we reached the 50-kilometer mark, I want Group A to release your shock missiles while group B reserve for the next round until I give the signal!" Commanded Arkhoz.
"But leader, aren't we supposed to release these missiles when we reached the minimum range of 30 kilometers?"
"Just do what I say, I have a plan. I am not letting the past mistakes happen again!"
"well, if you say so, leader. We are counting on you."
Suddenly, Arkhoz received a radio call from The Arkhan headquarters.
"Bad news commander Arkhoz, a powerful unidentified force suddenly appeared out of nowhere near the tribulation's location! I repeat, an unidentified force is ahead."
"Any clue about what is it?" Arkhan kept his head cool and replied calmly.
"I haven't seen this kind of energy signature before but it is possible to be another dragon. Probably to be an even stronger one. I am not sure since I cannot gauge its strength with our current data."
"Don't worry. If it is another dragon, we will just take it down. These creatures may have dominated us in the past but not in this era! Not in the Era of the Khans!"
"Yeah!~"
Every member of Team C shouted together in excitement. They have no idea of the nightmare waiting for them.
