63 Auctioned Elric (2/2)

Aghus was sitting idly in his golden throne made of beautiful pearls. His eyes were locked at Elric when he clapped to get everyone's attention.

Clap! clap!

Immediately, everyone's focused at Aghus as he stood from his golden throne. His blue skin reflected the light with beautiful refraction that decorated his whole body.

”My children, this human has trespassed into our territory without respect to us. He killed two of our Guardian Eels and even destroyed the precious reflecting rock that keeps us safe from outside intruders.” Aghus proclaimed with boldness and authority.

”I was-”

WHAAM!

Elric wanted to reason but Aghus did not give him the opportunity as he simply waved his hand slightly and sent a water wave that slammed Elric to the ground with brutal force. With such an impact, Elric felt like a thousand-pound anchor had fallen from his head and it left terrible wounds at his upper body.

Thank's to his Dragon blood, his injuries quickly recovered on the spot, leaving the merfolks in utter surprise. Slowly, Elric stood back up and faced Aghus with serious looks.

”Wow, how did he recovered that fast?”

”Is that a natural human healing ability?!”

”I don't think so...”

”I want that human so I can torture him as much as I want!”

Seeing the reaction of his people, Aghus nodded in satisfaction and continued.

”As you can see, this human is special.” Aghus specifically emphasized the word 'special' to further gather the merfolks curiosity.

Special? How so?

Now, everyone was really curious.

”As you can see, these men are not just an ordinary human otherwise he would never make it past the gate guardians; but this one, flowing in his pathetic veins is the blood of a Royal Dragon Race!”

”A Human with a Dragon Blood!?”

”I want him!”

”Finally a worthy creature!”

”Fantastic. Now I am looking forward to this!”

”If it is a human with the dragon blood, that means it is a rare commodity that can make us even more powerful!”

”It's about time that we step up our body quality!”

Everyone lost their mind after realizing Elric has a Royal Dragon's blood in his veins. However, only Aghus knew of the Corrupted Ancestral Dragon Essence inside him.

”Now let us start the bidding. First up, right eye! The minimum bid is 10 golden pearls!”
