164 Reckless Dragons (1/2)

”So basically, all we need to do is to remove that black knife behind that guy's back right?” Long asked Lesse in confirmation.

Lesse nodded in response and added, ”And if everything goes well on our side, we could ask for his help against the other incoming Dragons, that is if he is willing. The only problem is how are we going to execute it. I remember father said about not touching the sword once it stabbed someone or you will end up getting your soul sealed as well.”

”Any idea? You do know we do not have much time left right?” reminded Long.

”I do have but I do not know if I can pull it off,” Lesse answered.

Long thought for a while with a frown etched in his face, ”I am listening.”

With a determined look, Lesse told him what's on her mind,

”Our fire is not enough to harm her nor dispel the power of the cursed knife. What we need is something that harnesses the power of light; that also explains why she is capable of wielding the power of the cursed knife, because she herself has natural affinity to light, though I do not know what really made her do such actions.” Then Lesse faced the bright sun floating above,

”I do not know if this is really gonna work but, If I am not mistaken, the power of the Tribulation of Light should also possess the power of light. And I can summon it and channel the power of the lightning towards the cursed knife, maybe we could remove the spell temporary and hopefully, he would be able to get out of the curse.”

Understanding what she meant, Long quickly said, ”Do you intend to push for a breakthrough today?! Are you crazy? We haven't even gone through the conditioning methods!”

But Lesse had the eyes of an unfazed Dragon, ”I know that. But with the accumulating power inside me at the moment, I feel like even if I don't go for it, the Tribulation of Light is still gonna appear soon.”

And right after saying those words, dark clouds suddenly started to appear above their heads. Long immediately noticed it and could not help but open his mouth in agape,

”You were right...”

Even though the Tribulation hasn't started yet, Lesse and Long could feel the powerful pressure coming from heaven. The clouds quickly darkened as if an octopus changing its color, and light rain even started to pour down.

Lesse could not help but smile, the current scene reminded her of the unexpected event that happened ten years ago.

She recalled how she bravely took on the Tribulation of Light in order to ascend to an Elder state, but she ended up crashing down on the sky; even collapsing to her weakest state that she had to get help from that human against the encroachment of the nearby Manananggal and Kapre.

But now is completely different, the mysterious congregation of Dragon essence forming inside her body is causing her to accumulate powers at a tremendous rate and unexpectedly pushed her from an Elder Dragon to Queen Dragon state.

Long on the other side is also about to breakthrough due to the accumulation of enough power not far from Lesse's level. Their difference is just basically minutes of accumulated Dragon essence, he should be able to push into King Dragon with Lesse today!

”Enough talking, brace ourselves. Concentrate and channel your essence. We will push for a breakthrough together.” Lesse told Long and the latter nodded in response.

Both in their Dragon state, they coiled like floating giant snake just a hundred meters away from the darkening clouds and closed their eyes.

”Get ready to go.” Lesse suddenly whispered.

They are ready.

Back on the ground, Kahayag watched everything unfold. She watched the two Dragons distanced themselves far from her seemingly aware that she can't move any farther from Elric's body, else, she might end up getting backstabbed by the Envoy and lose her biggest bargaining tool for her mission.

”It's those stupid spirits.” Kahayag looked at the distant Dragons hiding in the dark sky with great frustration. She was drenched from the rain that had suddenly arrived. Her third eye had been glowing for a while, giving her a glimpse of what's really happening.

In her third eye, she could see the reflection of thousands of spirits of the fallen Eastern Dragon ten years ago. They were all channeling their remaining energy towards the last two Eastern Dragons, which resulted in the rapid accumulation of Dragon essence and eventually giving them the chance to push for a King Dragon breakthrough!

The mysterious source of Dragon essence that had been constantly filling up Lesse and Long ever since they unleashed their Dragon powers were actually the yearning essence of the fallen Dragon of the Eastern Region.

Even in death, they refuse to be completely defeated!

They may have lost their body but their soul and essence will be carried forever; and right now is that perfect time for them to give Lesse and Long their last wish, and that is for them to receive their tattered Dragon essence to be avenged from the unjust massacre ten years ago!

”Even if you push for a breakthrough right now, do you think that is enough to defeat me? Stupid lizards!” Kahayag smiled wickedly. She knew pretty much her advantage over the Dragons.  She held unto her sword of light and transformed it into a bow!

”Stop wasting my time and just die lizards!”

SWOOOOSH!~

Kahayag unleashed a powerful arrow of light towards the direction of the two Easter Dragons in the sky.

Lesse and Long were still closing their eyes when their ultra-sensitive senses suddenly noticed the incoming attack. However, they remained unmoving from their spot, until a rumbling sound of thunder started to beckon from the sky.

KRUGGGH!!!!~KGHHH!!

And just when the arrow was about to hit them, Lesse suddenly opened her eyes and swiftly said,
