163 Massing Up For Dragon War (1/2)
Lesse knew why Kahayag was confident in defeating them before. But as long as the cursed weapon remained stuck at Elric's back, she had no choice but to depend on using her own spiritual powers. Not to mention, once she removed the cursed knife locking Elric, it will only add to the numbers of enemies she had to face.
If only Lesse and Long were just ordinary people, they would have already fled before they could talk against Kahayag.
But right now is different, aside from the return of their Dragon Essence, they could also feel incredibly abundant of power that continued to surge inside them. As if they are getting filled to the brim, pushing them to the edge breakthrough!
Facing Spiritual that is currently not in her peak state and an Envoy with clearly a different motive compared to Kahayag, their chances of winning are as good as fifty-fifty. And as Dragons, they must uphold their pride of not backing out against a fair fight. Not to mention, they were both eager to put their newfound power into the test!
And just when Long was about to meet Kahayag's attack, Lesse suddenly stopped Long's charging breath.
”Why!? Let me roast that old traitor into crisp!” Long irritably beckoned as his long eastern Dragon body was getting dragged further by Lesse's longer body.
Kahayag, on the other hand, missed her attack and swiftly shifter her weapon from melee sword to range bow!
SWOOSH~SWOOOSH~
BOOOM!~BOOOM!~
”Don't attack,” Lesse told Long. The latter responded with a hesitant look but at the end, still followed his sister's command.
Long knew his sister. Not only has she became even more matured, but the years spent hiding from the Dragon hunters made her became even wiser. When to move, what to attack, all of those falls down to his sister's decision. Not to mention, Lesse is currently on the edge of breaking through, she might even end up reaching the power level of a Queen Dragon in the next hour!
That is to say if they survive their current ordeal against Kahayag.
Long and Lesse continued to distance away from Kahayag who choose not to go too far from Elric's position.
As much as Kahayag wanted to destroy the two Dragons, she also knew that the envoy is still after Elric's body. The reason the latter doesn't touch Elric is because of the cursed sword plunged behind him. The moment anyone touches Elric's body, they would also end up getting their soul shut down in instant, thus the Envoy chooses to step aside for now and wait for the perfect timing to move and possible escape with Elric's body as a trophy.
”Why are we not attacking? If we work together and force her into a corner, I believe we can take her on. With our Dragon powers back, her spiritual attack against us had dropped significantly weaker with our natural spiritual magic resistance and us-”
”I know that,” Lesse replied, their long Eastern Dragon bodies flew up high in the sky, covered by the passing clouds. ”But I recall clearly how that human single-handedly knocked down the Envoy and even berated the powerful grandma landlord before our very eyes. I remember he said something about taking care of his 'grandmas' body.”
”So? What are you implying? Do you mean that the spirit inside old grandma traitor is not its real spirit?”
Lesse nodded before adding, ”I have a feeling that the body she is using is the body of that man's grandma.”
”In other words?” Long replied with a confused stare.
Sighing deeply, Lesse replied, ”In other words, the moment we attack the old woman and end up destroying that body, we could end up becoming that man's next target. You should know that he also wields not just Spiritual powers but Elemental ability as well. If not for that cursed knife stabbed behind him, he could have ended the whole fight for good.”
Thinking deeply, Lesse continued, ”And if I am not mistaken, the reason why that old lady is not afraid of to take on bluntly our attacks is that she is a pure Spiritual being, our fire or physical attacks are only strong enough to destroy the physical state but not the spiritual being inside. Even if we turn her into crispy charcoal, all she needs to do is move to a new physical body, while we get a new enemy out of the last body we killed.”
Long listened with an enlightened look on his Dragon face.
Then suddenly, both their eyes frowned.
”This...” Long mumbled.
”They are coming. Based on my estimate, we only have ten to fifteen minutes before they arrive.”
Lesse was referring to the Dragons of the other regions coming their way. With the help of their ultra-sensitive senses, they could feel, smell, and hear the countless Dragons coming their way to finish the last two Eastern Dragons that exist in the world.
