131 Mysterious Granny (1/2)

Elric was observing and listening to their short conversation from the distance with his focused ultra-sensitive ears and learned something about the young man they were following.

It turns out he was a Dragon that had transformed into his human form who seems to have given up his Dragon essence. Which explains why Elric could never connect who he was according to his memories. He was a Dragon all along!

Moreover, it seems that this young man holds a clue about what happened that night. So Elric decided to keep a tight watch and step out once they make a move to kill the young man.

However, the Dragon hunters finally showed themselves and revealed their intention to force the young man to redeem is Dragon essence back - only to become their take-home of course.

The young man fought back in retaliation and ended up hurting himself.

Not letting the worst to come, Elric was just about to jump to action and save the boy from the hungry crutches of the Arkhans when he noticed a sudden flash from behind and an old woman appeared.

It was his grandma.

Unable to move, Elric's eyes were filled with tears as the feeling of missing his grandma overwhelmed him. Confused and anxious, excited but wary, all these feelings came rushing on his head. There were just too many questions.

He was pretty sure he ate her whole while he was transformed as a Corrupted Black Ancestral Dragon. He saw it clearly with his two eyes!

But just how?

Despite all his mental fortitude advancement, the sight of the person whom he misses the most was able to break through his supposed to be calmed and a renewed mind.

His body wanted to move and go to meet her but for some reason, there was something amiss about the grandma he saw.

Elric decided to hold himself for now. His instincts has saved him multiple times during his time in the Elemental realm, he decided to listen to it again this time.

With renewed focus, Elric wiped the trail of tears in his eyes, heaved a deep breath, and continued to watch from the sides.

She looks exactly like her but at the same time, she doesn't feel like her.

Elric scanned her full body and realized that the aura she emitted was not the same warm and humble grandma he used to know.

She was as if a different person.

With a single wave of her hand, the three Arkhans who wielded exceptional defense suddenly fainted simultaneously.

Elric's sensitive eyes saw everything that happened and he could not believe how such an old grandma could just casually swipe her hands to make her enemies slump like lifeless puppets.

Not to mention, those are people of the Arkhan race! The famous advanced superhuman race that is known to hunt even the Elder Dragons of this realm!

Each of their body is tempered with the nourishment from the Dragon blood and meat; allowing them to live exceptionally long while also enjoying the steel-like body and supernatural strength of a thousand men!

Could it be that grandma can use mental or soul attacks? If that's the case, then the superior body of the Arkhans would not stand at all!

But how?

The grandma he knew only uses an old pair of slippers or broomsticks every time he did something really bad.

Other than the deadly Chancla (Mexican term for flying slippers) and the mighty Walis Ting-Ting (broomstick), she is also an expert in wielding her \”sub-blabbing-gun\” that would sometimes do critical damage when she really does have a point.

He had too many questions indeed and Elric knew that he must be careful in exposing himself in this realm to avoid any attracting more trouble. It was his best friend after all. For now, he decided to distance himself and observe as much as possible.

\”Granny you came!\”

Long stood up with a limping leg and arm. He did a pretty good job harming himself indeed.

\”Of course I will. As long as you are in my area, you and your sister will always be safe.\” She laughed proudly as she moved forward and touched the broken arms and leg of Long.

\”Now hold still.\”

She added as she started healing Long's damaged body with a surge of warm energy from her arms while accompanying a rapid chanting of indiscernible words.

\”Ugh~\” Long grunted in agony as the bones and flesh inside his body started to move and heal from inside.

\”Just don't be too arrogant and find more trouble yourself or I will have to leave you alone. I owe your father a favor, that's why I am doing this after all. But don't think this as an excuse for you to continue acting like a king.\” She said as she stood up and crossed her arms with an apprehensive gaze at Long.

\”Your lives as one of the proud Eastern Dragon is over so learn to forget about it. I know you lots have a lot to do with your pride but that stupid pride of yours will not save you nor it will put food in your table.\”
