196 The Elders Trade (2/2)
The three soldiers that were just about to fire their advanced weapons unexpectedly shit themselves instead.
SHHEEEESH~
Elric's movement was just too fast for their eyes to follow. All they saw is a Sword of Flaming, blazing fiercely in Elric's hand. Their weapons are gone, and so did to the blood in their faces.
”H-he r-really is the A-Alpha Dragon!?”
”The one responsible for taking down the Arkhan and the three Dragon race...”
”Did I just pointed my weapon to him?! Shiiiiiiit!”
The three hovering soldiers felt like their body is melting in fear before the terrifying presence of Elric.
Just moments ago, the latter looked like nothing but a tired young man just getting out of the bed. But right now, with the burning sword in his hand, he looks nothing but an angel of death!
”Get out of my sight!” Elric, with a cold voice and a terrifying Dragon eyes, sent the soul of the three soldiers for about three seconds before they finally came back to their senses and burst their anti-gravity boots away from Elric.
”Finally.” Elric sighed as the annoying Guardian soldiers had already fled his front. He was just about to leave the place when another distant voice came.
”As expected of the Alpha Dragon. You truly are far beyond our expectations.” The sound came from a confident and noble-looking Guardian standing atop one of the bigger Guardian aircraft.
Following behind him are a hundred more floating Guardian soldiers and fighter aircraft, ready to protect the latter the moment Elric revealed the slightest intention of harming the respected one.
His eyes were deep blue that is filled with calmness and wisdom, a bald hair with a figure standing over eight meters tall.
Covering his entire body is a plain white silk dress that looks incredibly breathable. And judging from his looks and presence, Elric recognized him as one of the founding Guardian Elders.
Seeing the new incoming guardian coming with a creepy smile, Elric breathed a tired sigh before facing him.
”You did well in using me to eliminate your own enemy,” Elric told the still-smiling Elder Guardian.
”You were supposed to arrive earlier but you choose to delay just for me to deal with Khan and the whole Arkhan race in one go. Am I correct?” Elric told him with a hint of coldness.
The Elder dropped his smile and changed now with a solemn face.
”It is inevitable and such unfortunate indeed. But we have no choice but to save as much of our people for the incoming Realm Wars.”
Hearing the reply, Elric immediately frowned.
”I am too tired of fighting. I just fought Shadows, a puppet of Ancient Humans, three Dragon Races, and the Arkhans. Please do not drag me any further into these!”
”I am afraid you have no choice Alpha Dragon,” The Guardian Elder said with a weighty gaze, before adding, ”...or should I call you Elric de la Cruz?”
Hearing his full name after how many years, Elric felt an unexpected sense of renewing.
”That name..no. That person does not exist anymore.” Elric mumbled to the Elder before facing a certain direction. Eyes full of yearning and sadness.
”Wings of Fire”
Elric, not wanting to continue the conversation, revealed his flaming wings and was just about to leave when the Elder added,
”Leaving too soon Alpha Dragon? I just happen to know vital information that might help you in saving your charming grandmother.”
Elric's wings of fire went to a perfect halt. his eyes gleaming with interest as he turned to face the tall figure of the Guardian Elder.
”I am listening.”
Seeing the interested eyes of Elric, the Elder smiled before pointing to the nearby Guardian aircraft.
”You should know how we live our lives through science and endless calculations - all in hopes of protecting this human world. That is why we are called Guard-”
”Get to the point.” Elric, with a murderous gaze, interjected.
”To tell you the truth, we wanted to kill you long before you obtained the Ancestral Dragon essence. But our calculations went to a different output we never expected... an inevitable is coming.”
For some reason, Elric felt like he is being used again. However, as long as they have what he needs, any clues regarding how to save his grandma, he is more than willing to take the risk.
”We should talk inside.” The Elder added before leading the way towards the inside of the bigger Guardian ship.
