"Just how did this farm boy beca extrely powerful. I was pretty sure he was just a lucky noob last ti I saw him. But now, his essence, battle reflex, intent, and even the way he controls his energy was just sothing I can’t match." Arkhoz thought helplessly.
With his mastery of the advanced technology and weapons bestowed to him by the Ancient humans, he thought taking care of Elric was as easy as a walk in a park. He even had to lick his black sword just to show off how confident he was to kill the other.
Until the battle lasted for a few minutes and Elric started beca serious. Instead of getting fearful of him, the latter was like frenzied mad man, he suddenly beca a battle maniac and even took the hits from the black sword intentionally just to grab the chances and trade blows with Arkhoz.
But the advantage of a Dragon beca more apparent as the fight went on. Arkhoz was just consuming the blood and at of countless Dragons he hunted just to raise his total constitution and even extend his lifespan considerably, but it wasn’t enough for him to really stand against Elric, who just happens to have the Eastern Ancestral Dragon’s essence.
It was a power that is supposed to only exist in the heavenly realm, but in an unexpected play of faith, such trendous power ended up with this young man gifted with extraordinary Spiritual ability and has even acquired the acknowledgnt of the Elental Lords.
The latter ended up like a cheat.
Arkhoz could only shake his head though. If he was in the latter’s position, he would have started hunting all the Dragons in the world including the Dragon Kings, and reach the pinnacle of power. Who knows, he might just break the racial barrier of the Arkhans and Dragons and beca the first Arkhan to withstand the God Reckoning Tribulation and reach the heavenly realm.
But instead of using this power in advantage, this stupid human decided to spend his ti holding such an overpowered ability just looking for an old woman who should be dead a long ti ago.
As stupid as Arkhoz thought about this, he just can’t relate to the human bond. Especially with family. Being an Arkhan, Arkhoz grew up to a family who will only look at their offspring as a matter of possession and possible force in the future. Because of their incredibly advance yet cruel culture, once a certain young Arkhan failed to reach their minimum expectation, they will end up being destroyed and the search for a qualified offspring will continue.
There was no love. To remain strong and survive, all that Arkhans believe is just power and potential as the basis of their existence. There was no reason to keep those who failed to qualify their standards.
It was also because of this kind of culture that Arkhoz wanted to redeem himself. By taking on Elric, whom even the King Dragons can’t defeat, he will be able to redeem his na and present the latter as a return gift to the Arkhans supre leader - Khan.
But despite all his effort, the battle proved to beco easier than he tough. The monster he thought he could handle suddenly showed the power that was never in his expectation. Elric could use powerful physic abilities aside from his monstrous physical strength and regeneration.
Just how much stronger will he get if he starts transforming back to his Dragon form?
Will all of his training and dedication end up in vain?
However, it was never Arkhoz’s attitude to surrender.
After all, he still has another ace hidden in his sleeve, and just when he was about to activate his last weapon, he felt a sudden chill when he looked at the sudden shadow appearing before Elric’s feet.
"I am back." the Envoy, with its newfound body and domineering presence greeted Elric. Unlike before, this evil Spiritual now possessed a power that even Arkhoz could not fathom.
This bastard ran away like a little pup, only to co back in a few minutes in the form of a giant grizzly bear. Could it be that he has consud all of the Shadow minions all over the country? Did he take such a loss just to win this fight?
But realizing their intention, Arkhoz imdiately understood. This bastard wants Elric’s body as well.
"Then I guess the winner takes all." Arkhoz finally made up his mind. Out of his pocket ca out a small octagon-shaped gadget fixed with complicated yet beautiful tallic designs on the edges.
In the middle of the octagon gadget is a small circle-shaped space. Arkhoz bit his pale blue thumb and a slight steady stream of blood flowed out of his small incision. It quickly filled the entire circle space in the middle of the octagon device and a warm buzz quickly emanated from it.
The blood in the middle of the octagon device suddenly boiled as if getting heated before the whole device lted into a silver liquid.
Like a snake, this silver liquid crawled from Arkhoz’s hand and to the rest of his body, covering his entire figure in silver liquid.
"Aghk~" As the silver liquid continued to devour him, Arkhoz could only grit his teeth from the unexplainable pain he was feeling. It felt like all the cells in his body were being grilled in extre heat and he was on the verge of losing himself.
It was only thanks to the countless Dragon at and blood he had consud that he was able to gain their unique regenerative abilities and allowed Arkhoz to persist as the whole process took effect.
A system-like voice suddenly popped out of his mind.
"Body and mind scan complete."
...
"Synchronization complete."
"Now constructing..."
Arkhoz, who was under the veil of his invisibility cloak, suddenly felt his senses to expand greatly. his body beca extrely light and his figure started an incredible transformation. His silver covered figure gigantified followed by a complex tallic shape started to protrude out of his now-massive body.
This was his final trump card to deal with Elric.

"Are we on a wrestling match? Are you his tag mate?" Elric asked with a confident mocking smile towards the renewed Envoy before him, "How about you call your hiding girlfriend?"
"I don’t need no help. I alone is enough to deal with you. Now stay down and let destroy your puny little spirit into the dust of void!" The Envoy coldly replied.
Looking from top to bottom of its massive dark Shadow body, Elric complinted, "You look like you have beca a little stronger. I hope you won’t be running away again."
"I devoured the energy of a thousand Shadow minions to reach my state. I am basically a thousand tis stronger now." With an even more confident tone, it added, "This ti, it will be you who would be running with his tails between his legs."
"Ohh. Scary. I like that." Elric mocked with a confident smile.
But deep inside, he could not help but talk to himself, "What’s happening to . How did I beco this cocky? Could it be because of the Awakening of my warrior bloodline from my ancestor Lapu-Lapu? But for so reason, I kind of like this surge of confidence too."
Seeing the mocking smile of Elric, the envoy could not wait any longer. It’s dark massive Shadow figure suddenly blurred. It’s two long arms suddenly solidified and ford into two long Scythe and intended to cut Elric into pieces.
"Woops, missed." With great flexibility, Elric narrowly dodge the attack with a side step to the left.
"I am not done yet." the Envoy’s head suddenly, turned a hundred eighty degrees and opened its mouth.
A black powerfully compressed orb has been charging in his wide mouth already!
The Envoy was just about to shoot the deadly compressed orb in its mouth when it’s head suddenly exploded from an unexpected attack.
It was an invisible missile from out of nowhere!
The Envoy’s eyes were flaring up in anger, quickly it glanced at the direction where it felt the attack ca from and a massive, yet stylish tallic ch was revealed out of its invisibility.
"That man is mine for the taking... you ugly fog." Arkhoz who is now lodged inside a giant ch said. It was standing more than ten ters tall and all of its tallic parts are under Arkhoz precise control through the weird-looking strands that connected his body to the ch’s inside. A giant blue beam sword can be seen in both its grip.
"Holy cr*p,"
Elric muttered as his eyes widened at the Gundam-like robot standing before him, he could see Arkhoz’s figure inside a glass-like a room inside its stomach.
The battle is now two versus one. And instead of backing down, Elric happily smiled instead.
"Sword of Fire," Elric chanted.
Seeing the sudden gush of fire elental essence flowing out of Elric’s hands before forming a bright blazing sword of fire about three ters in length, Arkhoz and the Envoy could only watch in utter shock, and so did Lesse and Long.
Kahayag on the other side could just sigh helplessly. She pretty much knew what consequences will co once Elric showed this power. And now, what she feared has finally co.
"A-an E-elental and spiritual --d-dragon?" Lesse stuttered in unbelieving shock. Long could only shower in his own sweat.
