193 Khans Surprise (2/2)
It was the massive one-kilometer size Arkhan mothership that is growing closer in his view. With a sigh in his face, he immediately pressed the communication button to connect to the founder's communication channel to report.
”Reporting to my lord! I need back up! The Alpha Dragon is tailing me. Requesting immediate backup!”
Before he gave the command to flee away from Elric, he made sure the direction he have chosen will be towards the Arkhan mother ship. At the very least he would have a chance to maybe survive.
~Warning! Warning! Hostile contact in one second!”~
Instinctively, the commander's eye gazed at the rear monitor only to see Elric in his human form.
Soaring the sky with his magnificent wings at his back, a flaring blue and red sword on both arms and a pair of cold dragon eyes are watching him back!
At that instant, the moment their eyes met, the commander felt like his soul just leapt out of his body.
However, the attack that he was expecting from Elric did not come.
Rather, his entire view suddenly turned red. The sky, the land, the sea, and even the air, was suddenly embraced by a reddish hue.
The next thing he knew, his body and the ship he was piloting was instantly crushed like a mountain of sand fading to bits because of a sudden destructive wind.
From outer space, one could see a bright red line suddenly blotting in contrast to the bluish earth.
The sheer color of this red line spelled death along its way. Erasing everything in its path, may it be cities, mountains, or even the seas. They were all crushed and melted to nothingness the moment the red line contacts them.
It was the Red Line of Destruction from the Arkhan mothership!
The sheer force of this destructive beam was able to create a trench in the middle of the sea, a long and massive scorching gap between mountain ranges while creating vibrations that were strong enough to incite a man-made earthquake.
Without hesitation and remorse to their comrade, they fired the Arkhan's most powerful weapon against Elric in hopes of taking him down.

”Report.” Khan's cold voice asked his monitoring personnel through the communication channel.
”As you have predicted my Lord. The Alpha Dragon managed to avoid the full attack. We only grazed him, successfully eliminating his right hand as you mentioned.” A quick reply with an obvious tone of respect came from the other line.
”Switch to pattern two and proceed as planned.”
”Yes.”

SWOOOOOM!~
CRAAASH!~
Elric's body crash landed on the ground due to his severe injuries. It was thanks to his protective instinct that he managed to avoid a full hit from the last lazer attack from the Arkhan ship far away.
It was an outrageously dangerous weapon with a speed reaching the speed of light. Thank's to his extremely Quick reaction, he only lost his right arm instead of his head.
”Those Arkhans again...” Elric grumbled as he swiftly stood up the moment he recovered his senses in less than two seconds.
The small Arkhan battleship he was chasing a while ago had lost a single ounce of its material trace. Before him, he could see the distant mountain range that was supposed to be covering his view is now gone. The ocean was raging in madness as a huge amount of its body had just been evaporated.
Elric could even feel the earth's vibration intensifying just from the sheer sound and power of the last attack.
From the distance, Elric could hear the countless moaning and cry of innocent people, including animals, from death and shock.
Hearing them, Elric felt his anger finally boiling to its peak.
”So this is their strongest weapon.”
Elric mumbled as his right hand swiftly recovered at an unbelievable rate. In less than four seconds, a fresh new right arm is now fully functional as if he never lost them in the first place!
Elric's eyes glared back to the approaching massive Arkhan ship that was leaving behind an incredibly wide shadow under it.
His eyes, sharp as it was, zoomed in to a certain spot in the Arkhan ship.
WOOOOM~
And using his soul's perspective, he scanned the entire ship of all the living souls like a 3D scanner.
There in the middle, kept safe inside a black sphere, he saw a certain individual with an abnormal soul presence.
”This...” Shocked eyes followed through Elric as he finally realized the full extinct of the certain individual's power.
What he saw was not an ordinary soul. Inside the man's body was an incredibly weird and dangerous aura.
”The crying essence of ten thousands of Dragons, and...”
Elric's soul eyes looked even more shock the moment he completely focused on the person.
”an Ancestral Dragon's essence!?”
Back on the Arkhan's ship, Khan, the Lord, and founder of the Arkhan race looked back at Elric's direction as if he could see the latter despite the obstructions.
The black circuit tattoos in the sides of his head had been connected to meet up in the center while leaving a pitch-black gap in the middle - it was a third eye created using the technology!
”Surprised?” Khan proudly asked while he looked back at Elric at the soul dimension.
