Blood Type: Dragon - 197 The Cockroach Among The Elders

Under their own wide-area invisibility barrier, the massive Arkhan ship was being dragged by the large Guardianships using the blue energy net. Slowly but surely, they passed through numerous smaller islands below with utmost care not to be seen nor drop the gigantic ship accidentally.

Meanwhile, left behind on the same spot is the main Guardian ship now with Elric inside.

Along the way, the eyes of the Guardian soldiers, cadets, and the staffs are glued towards the one they called alpha Dragon.

Gleaming in their eyes are mixed emotions of awe, fear, worry, and even hostility. They knew, just how dangerous Elric is. And to let him go inside their ship together with their highest Elder is like putting a bomb beside their own king.

Some soldiers could not help but hold their weapons in preparation to the point that it would twitch in every time that Elric suddenly show even a slight hostile intention.

After all, the Elder that is leading Elric at the moment is basically the head of all Guardians. It did not take long for them to pass by the control room and Elric could not help but be amaze about how neat and advance the whole area was.

Contrary to Elric’s expectation, the inside of the main guardianship resembled a spacious cave room despite the smaller look of the entire ship outside. Scattered in every direction are the staffs with hovering holographic squares that represented different controls and data related to their works.

Not to mention, the inside of the ship has its own modified gravity that allows everyone to walk in whatever angle they want, may it be by the walls or the ceiling, they can all walk everywhere as if their gravity is everywhere.

It was an extremely spacious and advanced control room. In one spot, Elric could even see a holographic representation of himself and the many different forms he had transformed so far. From the normal version of himself to the Corrupted Ancestral Dragon and up to the latest one with Elemental abilities; may it be the flaming sword, the wings of fire and the flaming spear.

However, Elric did not bother to comment at all. Knowing the capabilities of the intelligent species such as the Guardians, what he was seeing is already part of his expectation. Not to mention, the Guardians are bound to use those data in their own pursuits of protecting humankind.

After all, even Elric himself is not that confident of fully controlling himself especially with the Ancestral Dragon’s essence inside.

About two minutes of walking inside, Elric and the Elder had finally reached a certain room. The moment he entered, he could not help but remind of the entire scene as a board meeting room, except for the weird-looking luminous lights that are placed in many different corners and the neat looking marble stones where the rest of the Guardian Elders are sitting from.

Just like the Ancient Humans, the Guardians had all the same exact faces except for the weird symbols in their head that actually represented different Ancient Human numbers and their identity as well. And as expected, their emotionless faces had the classic pale white complexion, deep blue eyes and figures covered in white long clothes.

Glancing from their individual spots, Elric could feel an intimidating psychic aura from all of the Elders. Though they were not as strong as his, the moment that they all start to combine their attacks, he is afraid that his soul would be a goner in less than a second.

These Elder Guardians are the ten commanding guardians coming from all parts of the world. And just for this day, they all decided to personally meet Elric as per instruction from the Head Elder Guardian.

Fortunately, there was not an ounce of hostile intention in their aura. All of the ten Guardian elders, including the head, had their eyes glued at him with a spark of awe and curiosity that ultimately betrayed their stiff and emotionless faces.

“Thank you for joining with us and apologies for those three ignorant soldiers a while ago.” The head started as he hovered elegantly in the air before landing on the flat marble stone about three meters wide.

“I do not have much time to waste here. Tell me, what is it that you know about my grandma’s situation?” Elric asked. Getting quick to his question.

“Before I answer that, I have a few questions first that might need your enlightenment first.” The head calmly replied.

“I expected much. Spill it.” Elric quickly responded. Knowing the Guardians who values information more than golds, he already expected that there is something that they wanted from him in exchange for information related to saving his grandma.

“The Elemental abilities that you have. How did you get it?” One of the Elder sitting closest to the head quickly asked. Hearing it, Elric’s eyebrow could not help but twitch a little.

“If I answer this question, will you -”

In the middle of his words, Elric’s eyes switched from the calm and bored one to a cold and murderous one.

“Elder Unom! Stop!”

Sensing the sudden changes in their visitor’s mood, the Head elder immediately stood up, and with glowing blue eyes, he beckoned to the Elder that is sitting on the sixth marble stone from the left.

THUD!~

The Elder Guardian sitting on the sixth marble stone suddenly collapsed from his seat. The deep blue eyes are now dilated and an expression of fear and shock still remained as his breathing slowly stopped.

~Gasp!

~what!?

~Elder Unom!?

“He started it. I am just defending myself.” Elric’s voice followed as his Dragon eyes revealed traces of overwhelming soul energy mixed with a murderous gaze.

“Did he just killed one of us!? In front of our eyes!?”

“Audacious! I do not care if he is an Alpha Dragon. Executing one of the Guardians Elders before our very eyes, this man is looking for death!”

“Maybe, his constant win from the last battles made his confidence soar to the realm of stupidity. I doubt he would stand a chance if we attack him together.”

Threatening voices from the Elders immediately followed together with hostility in their eyes. Their psychic powers starting to emit in their forehead, ready to engage against Elric any second.

“Hold your miscalculating logics!” The leading Elder in the middle immediately said as he waved his long arms and cast a psychic interrupting light before the angry Elders.

“I told you, I am only defending myself. What? Do you want me to just let that member of yours forcibly read my mind? I dare anyone of you to do it again!” Elric replied with a cold and threatening voice.

WHOOOOOM!~

BZZZZZZ~

His overwhelming spiritualist and Ancestral Dragon aura exploded from within, creating a sonic wave that sent powerful reverberations to the whole Guardianships.

Alarmed, the soldiers, meant to protect the elders and are hidden inside the marble walls, finally revealed themselves, pointing their advance looking weapons to Elric’s spot.

Sigh…

The leading Elder touched his head in anger.

“SILENCE!”

With a sudden burst of his overwhelming psychic power, the leading Elder made everyone, except Elric, to get back to their original places.

The soldier’s weapons crumpled to bits like a piece of thin paper due to the sheer pressure from his psychic powers while their bulky bodies were sent back inside their hiding position as if a scene running with a rewind button.

As for the babbling Elders, they were all forced to sit back in the marble stones while their mouth was shut and unable to open while their psychic powers were locked.

All of them revealed a terrified gaze towards their leader.

The Head Elder, who was known for his calm demeanor, is considered to be the most powerful of all the Elder Guardians. Known to possess the power closest to the level of their mysterious original founder who’s real body and information remained elusive.

Finally, with the quietness back inside the spacious room, Elric started by pointing at the lifeless body of the sixth Elder Guardian.

“Not to mention, do you even really know that one?” Elric asked as everyone reacted with a gleam of confused eyes.

“He is right my brothers. That one is not the real Unom. I have to apologize again and thank you Mr. Elric for exposing that traitor. This is all my fault.” The Head Elder said in an apologetic manner.

Elric did not bother replying. By taking a deep breath, he finally relaxed as the overflowing hostile energy finally left his aura.

“Now, let me just clean this mess up and we can finally start on our real purpose of your presence here” The Head Elder, said as he lifted the lifeless body of the sixth Elder using his telekinetic powers and disposing it.

“What?! He could just do that in front of us? We are not resisting at all!?”

“There must be really something wrong here.”

“We are just gonna dispose the sixth Elder just like that?”

The Elders were unable to voice out their words but their eyes and shaking body revealed their true feelings.

Sensing their dissatisfied gaze, Elric suddenly lifted his hand and said,

“Let me dispose it for you.”

FWOOASSH~

A concentrated blue fire seeped out of Elric’s raised arm and swiftly devoured the sixth Elder’s body. The moment the blue fire made contact, the purifying effect of the blue fire revealed the true appearance of the sixth Elder.

Its pale white skin was scorched only to be replaced by another layer of light-bluish skin, and a different being was finally uncovered from its almost perfect disguise before finally turning into plain black dust – all this time, it was actually an Ancient Human pretending as Unom, the sixth Elder Guardian.

Gasp!~

The faces of the Elder Guardians, except the Leader, revealed their full shocked faces for the first time.

“Now that the roaches are gone. Can we start now?” Elric asked while wiping his hands from the black dust.

“Most certainly.” The Head Elder replied with a calm smile. But deep inside, he is greatly troubled on how did that Ancient Human managed to fool them perfectly disguised as the sixth Elder.

It appears, their calculations have gone astray to the wrong path far earlier than they expected.
