Chapitre 15: Dragon Hunters Incoming

"Are you crazy!?" Shouted Lesse. "How dare are you not to accept such gift from-"

"Enough Lesse." Interrupted by the Ancestral Dragon.

"But!~"

"Enough!!!" The Ancestral Dragon raised his voice and Lesse immediately choke with a powerful force that pushed her down. It took quite a while before she finally calmed down. She finds it hard to breathe normally after experiencing a glimpse of the Ancestral Dragon's wrath!

Elric stood still and is determined to refuse the tempting offer.

"Please do not misunderstand me oh great Ancestral Dragon. I know that becoming a dragon is such a great honor very well. Unfortunately, I love my family more than anything. Instead of proudly soaring the skies and dominating the land alone, I'd rather spend my day with my dear grandmother who is already old."

With a determined expression, he paused and looked at the direction of his home and continued.

"My grandma is the only family I have left. My mother and father are long gone and I would love to be with my grandma's side for as long as she lives. Losing my memories should also mean that I will lose my identity as her grandson and that is something I cannot live by."

The cool night wind blew for a while as the stars finally poured their solemn lights in Elric's face.

Lesse did not dare utter any more words concerning Elric's decision. Who knows, this might be her chance to ask for the Ancestral Dragon's essence instead!

"I understand your reasoning human but It seems you forgot that you are already half-a-dragon thanks to my descendant here who happens to share her blood with you."

"I already know that great Ancestral Dragon," said Elric.

"Then do you also know, that your human family is subject to destruction by the Guardians and Rival Dragon Clans?" replied the Ancestral Dragon calmly.

Elric was surprised to hear the explanation and asked for clarification.

"May I know what you meant that my family is subject to destruction?"

Lesse could not help but finally talk on behalf of the Ancestral Dragon.

"We dragons are hunted for our precious blood and meat that could aid in curing almost every disease of humans. Not to mention, by consuming even a drop of our blood, ordinary humans could extend their expected life for a year. Our meat improves the overall potential of human by a huge margin and even bring back lost sexual drive."

"And that is just a tip of the iceberg.." Added the giant dragon.

"Even if you are a half-dragon, you still have the dragon blood. And its a royal one for that. The Dragon Hunters are a group of a powerful human syndicate that uses the latest technology to hunt us dragons for their benefit. Every single drop of our blood, no matter the purity, is worth millions of dollars."

"Do you mean I am being hunted now?" But they do not know me!"

"That's what you think!" rebutted Lesse.

Suddenly the Ancestral dragon and Lesse stopped talking and looked at the northeast direction with troubled looks on their faces.

"Oh, how I wish I can give these little kids a lesson. If not for my oath not to interfere too much in the world, I would have destroyed this pest of Guardians. " murmured the Great Dragon.

"What do you mean?" Asked Elric.

"In a matter of minutes, you will understand what I mean..." Said the Great Dragon.

It took quite a while and even though it was too late, Elric also noticed a flying object coming their way.

Normal humans could not see it but Elric, now being a dragon with supersensitive hearing and eyesight, can see the incoming object as clear as a day! Despite the fact that they are still hundreds of kilometers away, Elric's eyesight can still see them just fine. He focusses his eyes and finally recognized the incoming objects.

It was a stealth bomber in a stealth mode! Not just one, but ten of them at the same time flying at an incredible speed but without a single sound!

"Dragon Hunters are coming!" Said Lesse as she suddenly shone brightly covered in dancing red and green flames. Her body slowly mutated, her eyes, nose, arms and whole body polymorphed into a western dragon!

There are traces of royal green spots in her red-scaled-body. Strong and ferocious but moves with elegance. It was the shape of the dragon that Elric saw during the lightning storm! Elric could only look in amazement. He wondered what would he looked like if he transformed into a dragon as well.

"This is a good warm-up!" Shouted Lesse as she looked at Elric.

"Elric, today I will show you my true strength and why you should be ashamed in refusing our offer graceful offer!"
