Blood Type: Dragon

Chapter 21 - Elric's Decision

"Oh great Ancestral dragon, if I may ask, If you wanted to help the dragon race, why not do it yourself? Aren't you supposed to be the strongest?" Elric asked the Ancestral Dragon suddenly.

"I am afraid that as a Heavenly being, I am not allowed to interfere with anything to do in this mortal world. However, under special conditions, we can bless those who paid enough tribute or curse creatures that violates our authority." Explained the Ancestral Dragon.

"Then, do you mean you cannot attack those incoming Dragon hunters even though they are the reason for the decline of your descendants?"

"That is a problem the current generation has to face by themselves. The path of a Dragon is expected to be harsh and brutal. If you wanted to survive, get stronger. If you cannot overcome the challenge of heaven and the earth, you do not deserve the title of a dragon. That is why we accept any challenges from the lower creatures such as these humans taking advantage of us even when we are at our weakest after a tribulation." The Ancestral dragon further explained.

For thousands of years, the Dragon population has been declining because of Arkhan's people. But the Dragons refused to learn and even considered these as challenges for their race to overcome these obstacles on their own.

The Dragons have their own hidden world somewhere no humans can ever find.

In that world, the dragons are free to live and dominate. They have their own kingdoms, own seas, mountains and rules in every region. And they all strive to reach the pinnacle of their strength in various ways and ascend to a higher existence.

Either by harnessing the power of the earth, through blood and body purification or receiving external power, it is every Dragon's dream to become the strongest one.

One of the best ways to overcome their limitation is by going through the Tribulation of Light which can only be activated when they come out at the Human world, where the Dragon Hunters are waiting to hunt them down for their blood and meat.

"My time is up and I should go." The Ancestral Dragon's body started to become transparent and his existence slowly faded and at the same time, the invisible enemy Jets continued incircling them while slowly shrinking their escape route.

"Listen to me human Elric," Lesse said. "Once these Fighter Jets start firing, I am afraid to say that every human nearby would become an uwnanted victim. And that includes your family who isn't far away from here. And I am not the kind of Dragon who doesn't give my all in fights like these. After all, it is also my life that is at stake. All it takes is one loose missile from them or a missed breath of my fire and your mother's small house is gone including her."

With these words, Elric suddenly imagined the face of his dying grandmother in a burning house. A scene that Elric would hate to see happen for his dear grandmother.

Elric finally made up his mind and grabbed the burning Dragon Essence before him.

"I want you to know that I am going to accept your offer to become a dragon and help you in your war against the Dragon Hunters," Elric said in the resolution.

"That is a good decision." Said the fading Ancestral Dragon.

"But I have one wish in return." Elric bowed in front of the Ancestral Dragon.

"Say it, my new child..." The Ancestral Dragon said.

"I wish that you extend the life of my grandmother and if possible..." Elric summed up his courage for the next words. Tears slowly slid down his cheeks.

"And if possible, Could you please remove me from her memories?"

The Ancestral Dragon looked deeply at Elric's eyes and said.

"It shall be done."

"Thank you."
