149 Pain Of The Proud (1/2)

As the day went by, the school ground appeared to be as calm as a normal university from the outside; not knowing the unbelievable things happening at the moment.

\”Not yet...\” Elric calmly thought to himself, disguised as a wimpy geek that is currently being choked hard at his neck by a Shadow in the form of a female student.

As usual, her never fading creepy smile continued to show its yellowish teeth and shadowy eyes, looking like a malnourished demon. Long, on the other side, had already left Elric behind fearing for his own life.

He was quite confident that he can face the new bunch of weirdo rats until they finally revealed their true forms and intentions.

\”Just where did that stupid old lady landlord go? How come she is not here defending me?\” Elric angrily complained. Perhaps he was just too used from grandma Kahayag's pampering presence that he quickly became a spoiled brat in less just a few years despite his cold and arrogant attitude.

BONK!~

Just when Long was just about to reach the closest building, he suddenly felt like bumping into an invisible wall and bounced back a few meters before painfully fell on his back.

\”I guess I am on my own right now... I knew I could never count on anyone, not even my own sister!\” He bit his lips as he immediately pulled himself up in a painful struggle from his injury and mysterious pursuers.

He did not give Elric another stare knowing that it was pointless. He suspected his pursuers are hostile Elementals that must have an unsettled beef with their own Eastern Dragon clan. Too bad the new student had become an unintentional victim.

But for Long, it doesn't matter. Even if he had to sacrifice everyone in the school, he is more than willing to that. After all, they are just pointless rats living a pointless life. Compared to him who is a majestic Dragon that has powers and capabilities far beyond this ants, he strongly believes that only those who have the strength to survive will last until the end.

He may be a human at the moment, but he confidently believes that it wouldn't be long for his Dragon Essence to be released back to him. Until then, he must survive and do what he can to escape the current enemies.

With a determined look, Long tried his best to push thru the hard invisible wall before him but it seems it was not working at all. For a second, he acted as if he was still a Dragon.

After all, it was not Long's first time to experience being trapped inside an isolation barrier.

Back when he was a Dragon, he had gone through countless life and death battles against Dragon Hunters of the Arkhan race and every time they trapped him in isolation barriers, he would just force himself out using his brute Dragon strength, amplified by the royal bloodline flowing in his veins, and their pity tricks are gone.

However, now that he is at weakest, he got nothing left but a bare human body and a solid chained metal stick as a weapon.

Grabbing tightly to his nunchakus, Long skillfully whammed his weapon against the invisible wall before him, causing intense reverberations in each and every strike, focusing his attack on a single spot, hoping to create a crack to the spatial isolation barrier trapping him and force himself out from that one weakness.

Wham! Pang!~

Wham!-Pang!

Whawahhm!~ PaPanng!~

Like an action star, Long wielded his weapon with powerful swings not even realizing the bleeding injuries in his hand. He was determined to go out no matter what.

\”It's useless. The barrier trapping you right now is unlike those Dragon meat loves have. It was a special formation that is capable of withstanding any amount of force and even hide everything inside it as if nothing is happening.\” The sound of the leader came from behind.

With calm strides, he casually smiled at Long together with the three creepy female students beside him. On the hand of the girl on the left side is Elric's unconscious figure. And seeing the unkempt dress and the choke marks on the poor nerd's neck, it doesn't take long for Long to realize what they have done.

Quickly, he felt like all the strands of his hair standing up in fear and he turned around to continue smashing the invisible wall before him, but before he could do, four other male students with dark shadowy eyes and creepy smiles are already standing beside him.

Realizing the unexpected presence of the enemy before him, Long quickly lunged an attack to the closest one only to have his hand immediately grabbed and a kick from the three other male students followed up.

Long tried his best to dodge their incoming attacks but the sprained back and ankles did not allow the usual agile maneuver he can do so he was immediately sent flying a good three meters, closer to the male leader of the shadows.

\”Why don't you ask from your grandma? Is she not coming? But why though?\” The leader mockingly asked as the rest of the Shadow possessed students laughed sinisterly in amusement.

Long gasped for more air as he tried to push himself up the ground. The strong kick from the three male students did a pretty good job breaking some of his ribs and Long could feel his breathing immediately tightening up and his vision started to blur.

He had never felt this weak and pathetic in his whole life. To hear the mocking laughter of these unknown creeps also added to his boiling anger and dissapointment.

\”Let me tell you a secret.\” The man kneeled down to get closer at Long and whispered merely, \”The truth is, we can do whatever the heck we want inside this barrier. Do you know why?\”

Long glared back as a reply.
