Blood Type: Dragon

The final stage has been set, the true powers have been unleashed.

The entire world of Tunga is currently empty of any living being as if they have predicted the two beasts' coming. The entire land was as big as the entire United States combined into a wide hollow land.

The current most powerful Dragon in all mortal realms is currently faced to face with the Emperor in his peak form. 

As a being who originally has no form, the Emperor could only copy the beings as much as he liked and at his peak form, he could even copy everyone's ability. 

Elric is the strongest creature the Emperor has ever faced since he started to gain sentience. And thus, it is only right for him to copy Elric's current form and power.

Not to mention, the Emperor also has access to all the acc.u.mulated living beings he had devoured throughout his life-giving him an advantage that Elric doesn't have. Good examples are the powers of the past Elemental God and the Godly Beast of Dimensional Realms that he can freely utilize ever since he devoured both.

"It has been a long time ever since I have felt these complete." the Emperor started as he looked at his current Ten Winged Dragon body. A dark smoke continued to exude from all over his body, bringing forth a terrifying presence that would make everyone fall on their knees - except for Elric.

"Well then. Enjoy it while it lasts." Elric said as his body started to glow brightly. His muscles started to contract while his long golden claws sharpened. The ten golden wings on his back stretched outwardly like a peac.o.c.k on full display. 

"You are too excited to die." the Emperor scoffed at Elric's pose.

The two of them started to unleash their burning aura. Elric exuded a golden light while the Emperor released a fiery dark smoke.

gggzgzgzgzgz~

The ground started to shake at the sheer pressure of the two Godly beasts. Their eyes locked on each other and are aware of their individual strength. 

Elric was about to charge forward when the Emperor, currently a dark version of his Ten Winged Dragon form, suddenly flapped his wings to move away. In a blink of an eye, the Emperor is now ten kilometers away from him.

Elric chased with a mighty flap of his ten wings. Then before he knew it, his eyes widened in surprise. In the midst of his flight, a dimensional door opened on his right. The Emperor emerged out from it with its sharp dark claws at front - aiming at Elric's neck.

Elric was prepared. He narrowly avoided the claws with perfect agility and countered with a tail swipe from the back.

BOOOOOOM!~

The Emperor was hit! The sheer impact of Elric's tail swipe caused a thunderous tremor and made the ground below crumble from the sheer power of the shockwave. 

But before Elric could follow up, the Emperor used the rebound from the tail swipe and created another portal only to reappear on Elric's right side.

Whapaak!~

KABOOOOOOOM!~

Borrowing the momentum, the Emperor reappeared at Elric's side and hit his c.h.e.s.t with a mighty claw swipe. 

A bloody gush poured out of Elric as he skids hardly to the ground, leaving behind a deep bloody gorge. 

The Emperor had a victorious smile at the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e of crushing his enemy. Unfortunatly, the smile was shortlived. A blinding golden beam of fire was unleashed by Elric and hit the Emperor on his c.h.e.s.t.

Zioooong-BOOOOOOM! 

The ground shook again. The sheer power of Elric's breath was reminiscent of the Flash Cannon with a hundred times the normal power.

However, the Emperor managed to summon the past Elemental God's power and protected himself from Elric's blazing beam. He swiftly retreated to a dimensional portal and reappeared above Elric with his own dark blazing beam.

Ziiiiiooong!~

Elric was prepared, he hastily stopped his fire breath and dodged the fire with agile steps. Despite their gargantuan sizes, both of them moved like a flexible martial artist.

Elric retreated and suddenly charged at blinding speed while narrowly dodging the enemy's fire.

POOOOOM!~

CRAAASH!

Elric knocked the Emperor and smacked him down to the ground.

BA.S.SSH!

BOOOOOM!

And just like that, the two Dragons of opposing colors fought like mad beasts. They spew fire while trying to outwit each other, pummeling each other with a devastating force strong enough to crush giant mountains into crumpled plains.

Their fight took almost an hour but there were still no signs of a clear winner. No matter how much they damaged each other, Elric's crazy recovery and the Emperor's undying body made all of their efforts futile.

In the midst of their battle, Elric suddenly recalled his conversation with Kaora a long time ago back at Kaora's realm.

"How do I defeat the Emperor?" Elric asked with a pleading look at the perfect man before him. Kaora was feeding a cute looking baby monster on his arms and smiled gently at Elric.

"My answer is simple. Why?"

Elric was about to ask further for clarification when Kaora suddenly disappeared before him and reappeared from the distance. The latter put the cute baby monster on the l.a.p of a sleeping gigantic beast before smiling back at Elric. Then he disappeared again. Kaora was just full of mysteries.

But now, he seems to have understood the latter's answer 'why?'.

"Indeed, why should I?" Elric thought.

***

"Kukuku... this is fun." the Emperor playfully said as he stood proudly before Elric.

He has lost his right arm while a massive gaping hole on his right c.h.e.s.t swiftly recovered like a mold getting back to its original shape.

"I know. But too bad we have to end this." Elric replied with a calm gaze.

After shaking out the dirt on his body, the Emperor said, "Huhu.. giving up too soon?" 

Elric heaved a deep one while looking above. His senses meeting the cry of the victims of this catastrophy. Their soul was calling to him.

"I have a duty to fulfill. I hope you enjoyed your last battle."

"Are you saying that all this time, you were just going easy on me? Fool! You can't even knock me fully on a single second!"

Then Elric's expression changed. 

"Aren't you surprised how I brought you here? Everything has been calculated from the start. There was no way on defeating you in the first place no matter how much I overpower you."

Elric's ten wings suddenly stretched out. His heavenly Dragon aura exploded and made the Emperor stood uneasy.

Then slowly, Elric raised his finger and pointed at the Emperor, "The reason why I brought you here is to seal you forever." 

"Hahahaa! Fool! The silliest joke I have ever heard!" and the Emperor unleashed his wings before charging forth at a blinding speed.

"DIE!" 

The Emperor was coming with a deadly intention. He was not amused at Elric's declaration of sealing him. Now that he has gained and tasted the power and fleshy d.e.s.i.r.es, he does not plan to go back! 

But instead of fighting back, Elric decided to close his eyes and received the Emperor's wrath with a calm demeanor.

"Shatter under my power!"

Baaash!

BOOOOM!~

Whaam!

BOOOOOM!~

BOOOOOM!

With Elric as the center, the entire land of Tunga was now a fiery mess.

Elric flew around like a dummy Dragon. He was hammered, scorched, trampled, smacked and verbally cursed as the Emperor unleashed his wrath on the defenseless Elric.

"What are you doing!? Why are you not fighting back!?" the Emperor was frustrated. He tried to finish Elric off but the latter seems to resist the call of death no matter his effort. Elric was only focused on defending and surviving and not a tinge of hostile intention was felt.

All of a sudden, the Heavenly Dragon before him stopped fighting. This is not the Elric he knew before! The Emperor was frustrated! He wanted to feel Elric's rage. The power of hate, anger, vengeance. All the negativity that empowers him, he wants it!

But now, suddenly, Elric was like light he could never harm. Little did the Emperor knew, his frustration of not being able to make Elric fight back was draining his power.

"You are a being born from the endless hate and negativity from all realms. As long as everyone or someone exist, you will never disappear. But now that you have tasted the greed of life and fleshy d.e.s.i.r.e, you have become an existence that tramples the natural order of the world."

Elric said while trying his best to stand up despite the countless wounds and broken bones. His Ten golden wings are now down to a three, while his claws were crumpled and two tails gone. It was his worst state ever since becoming a Heavenly Dragon. 

"There was no such thing as coincidence. Heaven gave me this power since that fateful day, knowing that you will succeed in your d.e.s.i.r.e. Unfortunately, heaven is absolute and no matter how much you resist, you will never be able to break your fate. I come in the name of justice and balance. I come in order to seal you."

Then Elric's body suddenly unleashed something the Emperor never expected. 

Crakkaackkaakckaa~

The lightning energy from the last Retribution of Godly Tribulation started to emerge out of Elric's body. The sheer presence of heavenly energy instilled the Emperor's instinctive fear of the highest order. His enormous guilt caused his body to itch and weakened at the sheer presence of the divine lightning.

"What is the meaning of this..." the Emperor muttered in disbelief and confusion.

"I was never punished by heaven a while ago. It was me who asked their blessing just for this moment." 

"THEN BLESS THIS!" the Emperor had enough, he opened his mouth and was about to unleash the strongest black fire he could muster to wipe Elric and the entire land in one go.

But the next moment, Elric turned into a flash of lightning and charged to towards the Emperor faster than the latter could react.

Grab~

SHOooosh!

Elric snuffed the Emperor's fire by grabbing his mouth. The presence of divine lightning energy made his power absolute over the Emperor. Then Elric dragged the Emperor towards the distant white obelisk - it was the gate to the true world of the Light Elementals.

"No! No! No!" the Emperor unleashed all his powers. Thousands, no millions of black tentacles formed into giant hands and tried to grab into anything he can hold on.

"DO YOU THINK YOU CAN MAKE ME?!" the Emperor beckoned furiously at Elric. If looks could kill, Elric would have died a thousand times already.

But instead, there was no hostile reply from Elric. Rather, it was as if Elric was just doing a chore. There were peace and freedom in his eyes. 

"With faith, yes I can." Elric's Ten Golden Wings suddenly exploded from behind. At the same time, the Emperor's three red eyes saw the faint spiritual figures of all the innocent lives that have fallen victim to him. 

Behind Elric's glowing figure was millions of faint spiritual beings, their hands were touching Elric's body from all sides, giving him the spiritual strength to push the Emperor forward to the white obelisk.

Elric's push started to become stronger. The white obelisk was just standing ten meters behind. The moment the Emperor touched it, he will be trapped in the world of the Light Elementals where his power will be sealed forever. 

Not giving up, the Emperor of Darkness, summoned more black hands to grab almost everything. The sheer force was starting to shake the entire Tunga and faint reverberation could be felt outside.

Then Elric swiftly shifted to his spiritual form. The Emperor was too focused on defending his physical body and never expected Elric to suddenly shifting to the spiritual realm.

Psychic Wrath!

Peeeooong!~

The Emperor's soul was shocked. It was a momentary stun but it was enough for Elric's final push.

"Let's go," Elric whispered calmly.

"?"

The brightly glowing Elric hugged the dark Dragon figure of the Emperor as they both made contact with the white obelisk.

ZIIINNNNNNG!~

Elric and the Emperor's body swiftly dissolve at the sudden surge of pure light in their body. They both entered the realm of pure light, where no other beings are allowed. 

The only thing left for the Emperor was a tiny dot of darkness. Under the holy presence and eyes of billions of Light Elementals, the Emperor was nothing but like a tiny little atom.

As for Elric, his body was instantly shattered causing him to die on the spot. It was the trade-off for containing the divine energy of the Retribution of Heaven Tribulation.

At the same time, the divine energy of Elric started to pour out to the outside and the other realm. 

A heavenly Dragon has given up his life in exchange of the world's recovery.

***

"What happened here? What happened to me. Why...mom!? Dad!?"

"Baby! Oh, my baby!"

"Tara! Where are you!?"

"Father! I am here! Where is mom!?"

"My back hurts. Wha' happen?"

"Wait.."

Meanwhile back at the world surface, the innocent lives that were devoured by the Shadows suddenly started to reappear. Their wounds and trauma were gone as if they were cleansed of the bad memories.

On the other side..

"Finally! We won!" Danna cried happily as she hugged her younger mermaid princess siblings. Donna and Diana were crying happily as well.

"Those Shadows suddenly disappeared! I haven't shown them the true power of the Overwhelming Mighty Grand Dash! My Legendary Elemental God was not even tested to the fullest! " Dash grumbled in his gigantic Turtle form. The mermaid princess laughed happily seeing their Elemental Lord safe and back to normal.

"Now where did that Hugon kid go?" Dash mumbled.

The Second Elder Guardian confirmed the revival of all the victims of the Shadows. The world was in shambles but the lives of the people were more important. He closed his eyes and made a quick calculation.

"It is unfortunate that not everyone was saved. But thanks to this, all the realms will be united." 

Then his eyes watched at the holy light that was currently covering]the entire world. He knew it was Elric's divine energy that healed and revived everyone in exchange of his life. 

"Thank you for your sacrifice. We will never forget your sacrifice." the Second Elder bowed in respect before the image of the golden light covering the whole world. The rest of the Guardians behind him and the rest in the other sh.i.p.s bowed as well.

Meanwhile, the remaining Dragons and the descendants of Elric unleashed a defeaning roar.

ROOOOAR!

ROOOOARRR!

GROOOOOAAAR!

ROOOOOOOAR!

The unique aura of Elric lingered in the air and it didn't take a genius for them to know what happened to the Alpha Dragon. Not to mention, Elric has already told them before what would happen.

It was though to know that their father will die just a couple of hours when they come in this realm. But they were strong and m.a.t.u.r.e enough to know the difference between meaningless death and a noble one. 

It was hard, but they were prepared. They could only live according to his will.

Long is currently standing behind his crying older sister. Lesse was holding the Necklace pendant and the white marble containing grandma's soul. Elric dropped them before heading to the Tunga. Elric knew that Lesse could trace his scent and it should not take long for her to find the necklace.

Although Lesse knew what was waiting for Elric, accepting the reality was more than she could take. She may be the current second strongest Dragon after Long who has overtaken her, but her plans were different from everyone's expectations.

"Don't worry. I will give him a good beating when I meet him on the heavenly realm." Long is currently at a heavenly realm thanks to Kaora's help. He was only able to stay since he has suppressed his true level. But if compared to Elric who has access to spiritual and all elemental powers, he was still a couple of levels behind. 

Lesse nodded in response as she wiped the tears on her eyes. She held the necklace and white marble in her eyes, heaved a deep sigh, and looked at her brother. A warm and farewell smile followed as she waved at her brother. 

"I will be fine."

Long is a lot taller now. Although they are both more than ten thousand years old, they have the ability to freely change their appearance. 

Then Long looked up, a semi-transparent golden gate was revealed in his eyes as his Dragon form fully revealed.

"I know you will. Take care my sister." 

"You too. See you brother."

Swoooosh!~

Lesse watched Long disappeared as he entered the golden gate to the Heavenly Realm where the rest of the Ancestral Dragons are waiting. It was a new world waiting for him. 

As for Lesse, there is one thing she must do. Her eyes landed on the gold pendant on the necklace and smiled sweetly. 

***

Ten years after the Shadow's invasion. The human world and the rest of the realms have never been peaceful. The Emperor of Darkness was sealed at the white obelisk where the most powerful Light Elementals lived - keeping him in check till eternity.

Dash reigned as a just and fair Elemental God. He appointed new and trustworthy Elemental Lords including Danna for the water realm and the rest of the Arkhoz Crew. 

As for the Dragons, the new Dragon descendants of Elric and Lesse was responsible for restoring the real power balance in the human world. There was no more division between the north, south, west an eastern Dragons. There was only one United Dragons of the Human Realm.

On a certain village where Elric's old house was located, a simple nepa hut is currently standing peacefully. Rich green vegetation covered the front and backyard as the unique sound of the province farm filled one's ears.

The whole area was once a city but now, it was reshaped and turned back into farmland. It was all thanks to Lesse who is currently cooking for an old woman - it was Elric's grandma.

"Breakfast is ready grandma," Lesse called out. Her beautiful and young appearance was like a fresh rose in the kitchen. She has been taking care of Elric's grandma every since she has restored her ten years ago.

"Coming!" Elric's grandma came from the back door. She was carrying a basket full of fresh fruits and eggs.

"Grandma that's a lot!" Lesse, with a gentle and graceful manner, quickly took the heavy basket off grandma's brace. 

"That's nothing. If Elric was here, he could finish all those fruits in two days."

Lesse could only cover her sadness with a warm smile. Ever since she regained her consciousness, she has been asking never-ending inquiries about Elric. 

"I missed that bastard. When I see him, I will make sure to give him a spank he will never forget. Not because he is old doesn't mean his exempted you know." grandma grumbly said. 

Lesse could only smile in response as she stirred the coffee gently before passing it to grandma.

It has been ten years indeed. The world has changed dramatically for good and it was all thanks to Elric's sacrifice. By using his overwhelming Heavenly Dragon energy together with the cost of his life, he was able to restore most of the lost lives. The peaceful follow up was thanks to the Guardian's quick actions.

"Is he finally coming today?" Grandma asked with a mixture of excitement and longing in her old wrinkled eyes.

"He should be," Lesse replied gracefully as she slowly sipped her tea gracefully. 

Knock Knock!~

They were both eating their breakfast peacefully when a soft knock came from outside.

"Grandma? I am at home." It was a voice from a very familiar man.

Lesse and grandma smiled excitedly to each other. Both their eyes were glowing with agitation while grandma started to shed tears uncontrollably. She picked up her slippers are prepared to punish her disobedient son.

"You!" 

PAK!~

"Still~"

PAK!

"Remembered to~"

PAK!~

"Come back!? You Bastard-"

PAK!

"I am a very sorry grandma! I will make sure to send you a letter next time!"

"Does that mean you are going to leave again!?" 

PAK PAK PAK!~

Lesse could only laugh at the funny scene of the grandma chasing her grandson with an old slipper.

The returned Heavenly Dragon, who is now back to being a normal human, is getting a filial spank from an ordinary old woman. 

Elric's return was only possible by Lesse sacrificing her own Heavenly Dragon's power. It took some time before Elric would fully recover came back but it was worth the wait. 

Elric went inside and saw Lesse with a teary eyes and longing eyes. They don't need to speak a single word to express each other. After all, they loved and lived together for ten thousand years. 

Elric just went over to kiss Less's forehead and whispered.

"Thank you."

Lesse saw grandma looking at them with a bewildered look. She could not afford but blush instantly. It might be ten thousand years but her pure heart was still trying to get used to it.

"I want twenty great-grandchildren next year!" grandma actively demanded with a bright smile. 

Little did she knew, she has more than a million half human half Dragon great-grandchildren protecting them from the background.

The new half Dragons and Half humans that descended from Elric and Lesse possess a glimpse of the power of the Heavenly Dragons.

Ten years ago, the emergence of a new human race caught the world by surprise. They possess extraordinary blood that leads to the new evolution of humans and the start of the new age.

They are called humans with a rare blood type.

The Blood Type: Dragon!
