"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.
Back at the present, Elric is still filled with hesitation. Either he chooses to become a dragon and forget his family or giving up the Dragon's blood in his system only to end up dead. Both options gave him no real advantage at all.
Elric loves his grandma very much. After losing his mother and father in a terrible typhoon disaster 27 years ago, his grandmother took the brunt of raising him. He learned to talk, walk and decide for his future with the blissful guidance of his only family left.
But now, he is on a dilemma to forget the only source of his strength in exchange for his life.
After a few more seconds of thinking, he finally spoke.
"I am willing to accept my fate to become a dragon but I have a condition to ask oh great Ancestral Dragon. That is if you don't mind." Elric spoke in a resolute voice.
"Speak human."
"Is it possible for me to retain my memories as a human even when I become a dragon?"
Elric hoped that with his memories as a human, he should still be able to protect his family from the sidelines. He knows pretty well that this is his only choice considering that only death is waiting for him on the other option.
I could not imagine my grandma's face when she finds out that I am missing after running towards the woods. How I wish If only I could turn back time, I should still be sleeping soundly tonight, far from all of this dilemma. Elric thought.
"I am afraid that all of these happens for a reason human. There is no such thing as a coincidence. Maybe heaven has plans for you. Who knows." Lesse told Elric and added:
"After all, aren't you supposed to be happy with your current luck? You are still alive thanks to my blood and even got a precious opportunity presented before you. If the other dragon's found out about your hesitation for getting an Ancestral Dragon's essence, they would surely tear you to pieces!"
"That is according to your dragon's perspective." Elric immediately rebutted.
"Well aren't you a dragon now?" Lesse responded.
"You mean 'Half-a-Dragon?" Eric doesn't seem to appreciate being a dragon in contrast to Lesse's expectation.
"You ungrateful human," Lesse said with killing intent.
"Pay attention. The incoming Dragon Hunting Guardians are about to fire on us." The Ancestral Dragon warned them.
A few seconds later, far away from Elric's location, a group of Stealth Fighter Jets headed by Commander Arkhoz, flew closer and closer at a dizzying speed. Suddenly, their pack splits up into two groups with 5 fighter jets each. The other one split up into different directions and the remaining 5 went straight to Elric's location.
"Group A comes with me and engages the targets, Group B prepares the isolation barrier now!" Arkhoz commanded the team with utmost urgency with a plan already in his mind. His team, trusted him as Arkhoz is known as one of the most brilliant commanders when it comes to dragon hunting and even war.
"Group A, Copy that!"
"Group B, on our way!
The leaders of group A and B shouted in unison after hearing all of Arkhoz's commands. Their fighter jet's they are riding is unlike the normal fighter jets we have known. These are equipped with secret technology never before seen by normal humans.
These Jets are made of mysterious metals that are ten times harder than Titanium but are incredibly light! All thanks to their stolen technologies from The Guardians.
In terms of battling, these Jets are also capable of creating a controlled isolation barrier to prevent any sounds or even light to go out public.
It's weapon systems are equipped with shock missiles strong enough to knock powerful dragons unconscious, tracing freezing beams that can slow the target down, energy bullets that can numb the Dragon's muscles rendering them unable to move, and multi-purpose bombs.
All while flying a lot faster than the speed of sound reaching a thousand kilometers in just a matter of minutes.
However, one thing that makes this fighting jets special is that they are specifically made to hunt the elusive Dragons. Especially with its secret transformation ability.
"Group B is now in position!"
Arkhoz heard one of his team B Leader confirming their location and immediately replied.
"Good. Activate the isolation barrier now!"
