Hearing the commotion, Romeo quickly entered the room only to see the broken window and Elric lying in the ground with some dirt skid marks below him - luckily, the summoned spacial crack to the elemental realm is nowhere to be found as well.

”I see. So you made sure to gave me an entry ban huh...” Elric murmured while looking at the bright blue sky. He realized that the God of the Elemental realm had probably created an entry ban for him back to the elemental realm as he told him.

If he wanted to go back, the only way he knew so far was to force himself again with the sheer power of the Ancestral Dragon form. However, using such a method leaves him a very small chance of success and revealing his Dragon form at the current realm would only bring him more trouble considering the supernatural scouting abilities of the Ancient Humans and other mysterious world entities, not to mention, there are Dragon hunters out there constantly in search of Dragon energy signatures.

Elric's body was resting over long skidmarks from the powerful repel of the spacial barrier.

”Are you alright boy? Wha' happened?!” Romeo came running after the thrown Elric. Confusion and panic were obviously drawn on his bearded face.

Just as Elric was about to stand up to calm the anxious Romeo, his senses noticed an unexpected presence in his surroundings. His ears picked up a mysterious sound not audible to the humans and even the normal animals like dogs.

Elric felt a dangerous presence in his surroundings and he knew it was something that needs to be realized as soon as possible.

”This...” Elric's vision suddenly changed from that of a normal human to a Dragon's vision. His eyes transformed with its signature slit and the culprit of his warning was immediately revealed from a distance.

Twelve men wearing perfectly fit tuxedos were surrounding the Romeo residence. Despite their numerous numbers, every single one of them looked exactly the same. The emotionless pale faces, their extraordinary long body, and fingers. They all uniformly stood tall around seven feet high and well toned body. What's really bizarre is that their aura and presence have a slight resemblance to an alien creature famously known as Grays, but with major human features.

They communicate telepathically and moved discreetly. Their long foot does not even touch the ground as if their feet have a natural gravity repelling ability.

With a vampire-like paleness in their skin and a pair of cold blue eyes revealed their extraordinary state. What made them even more incredible was that their presence is completely undetectable to normal humans. They were standing there as if they didn't exist.

Their complete material state has been altered with an unexplainable technology so as to completely hide their physical presence. Not even their scent, their sound, their touch, or their aura is detectable to the normal humans.

They are all standing in all twelve clock directions and seem to be guarding the whole area all alone.

”Ancient humans...”

Elric knew about them from his previous experience against them last time he was here in the human realm. He tried his best to act as calm as possible, hoping to avoid their suspicions that he can see them. After all, they seem completely confident in their stealth ability.

Thanks to the effect of his continued evolution, Elric's current look is now very different from his previous lousy young man appeared before leaving for the Elemental realm. Else, they would have reacted frantically upon seeing him.

Not to mention, his energy signature has been completely naturalized like that of a normal human as he knew that revealing his true powers and aura would only bring in more trouble. Elric knew the unexpected capabilities of the Ancient humans who have access to the mysterious technology of the mysterious Ancient Human race.

However, as Elric calmly scanned his surroundings, his Dragon eyes revealed a very alarming sight. His eyes focused on a certain direction and saw one of the invisible Ancient humans seemingly doing something at the head of Romeo's daughter - Angel.

The hand of the invisible ancient human was weirdly buried deep inside the head of the little girl as if doing a magical operation. Angel, on the other hand, felt very sleepy and collapsed on the spot, little did she knew that her memories are being altered by the unseen man beside her. Her brother, Romel panicked upon seeing his little sister's sudden collapsed and hurried called for Romeo outside asking for help.

Elric could also see that while the unseen man did his thing, he was also draining some of the little girl's life essences which are seen as some glowing energy moved out from the perky little girl to the creepy unseen Ancient human.

A frown immediately appeared on Elric upon seeing this.

”Trouble never ends huh...” Elric sighed, knowing that his best friend - trouble, is back in his side. As much as he wanted to avoid trouble, it seems conscience will not allow him to just watch as the unseen creep continued to drain the life essence from the innocent little girl.

”But why is he only focused on draining the life essence of the little girl? Why not the father nor the brother? Is she something special perhaps?” Elric thought as he stood up and patted the dust away. Slowly he made his way back in.

”Well, one thing to find out.”

Elric did not hurry to save the girl right away. He is completely aware of the surveying eyes of the positioned Ancient humans and feared that he would only gather their suspicious.
