Appearance of the Ancestral Dragon

"What are you waiting for human? Go! Don't waste your pathetic life standing here."Scolded the dragon girl.

"You are in that state because you gave me your blood. Let me help you!"

"How dare you pity me?!" Said the girl with an insulted look.

"I don't want to live without owing you back for what you did for me. I don't want that! Just like you, allow me to redeem my pride even till my last breath! Even if it means dying, I am dying with you!" Elric explained.

For some reason, the dragon girl could not talk back. Her heart skips a bit with Elric's last words.

KUKUUUURGGGHHHH!~~~ KURRRGGHH~~

Their mini emotional moment suddenly ended with the final sign of the incoming Tribulation of Light.

The wind started to intensify with a wooing sound. Leaves started flying everywhere and the seas are rampaging.

"My name is Lesse."

The dragon girl finally shared her name.

With a warm smile, Elric replied:

"Nice to meet you Miss Lesse, my name is~"

"Elric... I know, I heard you before, so there is no need to repeat it."

Elric just smiled.

Suddenly, a powerful force of gravity started pushing him down as if he was wearing a thousand-kilo belt!

He braced himself as a powerful force is trying to push him on the ground. With all his strength, Elric resisted the force but could not stand properly anymore. Bulging veins started popping out of his body. This must be the reason Dragons could not run away from the Tribulation of Light!

Lesse on the other side doesn't seem to struggle. She just stood beside Elric effortlessly. It seems she is used to this feeling and their disparity in strength was just too much. However, the terrifying power of the incoming Tribulation could not be hidden in the face.

Seemingly losing her hope, she took a last glance to Elric.

"Human Elric... I do not like to say this but I appreciate your presence in my final hour. Do know that you still have a chance to survive if you just use your full strength to run away from here."

"I hate to say this too, but I hate losing to girls when it comes to courage so I am staying here with you." Elric tried to encourage himself.

Lesse gave a simple smile and replied:

"You have pride. You could have been a decent dragon if only you could have lived."

"Thanks for the compliment Miss Lesse. I guess this is hello and goodbye hehe!" Shouted Elric.

With those last words, Elric could see a beautiful smile in her face before everything turned to a bright flash of light followed by a powerful surge of lighting that pierced from his head into every part of his body.

The pain was beyond words.

It feels like a shower of burning needles piercing to every inch of his body. Elric lost the will to make any more sound. All his memories just started flashing in his eyes.

"Is this finally it?" He thought.

As his consciousness starts to fade, a warm light suddenly covered his body. It was a sphere of light with hues of blue and green.

Elric felt like he was soaked in cold-healing water. His awareness starts to come back and slowly opened his eyes again.

Before him is a majestic looking dragon about 20 meters long. It stood proudly and withstanding the tribulation of lightning as if it was a gentle rain.

This powerful looking Oriental Dragon was covered in glittering royal red scales like little diamonds and green long stripes covering its whole body. Its eyes were shining in green light and red light to the other one. All the while looking down at Elric. Its two long red whiskers are waving in the air in elegance.

It's two horns were about five meters long and it was glowing in radiant light, seemingly absorbing the power of the Tribulation of Light.

The moment their eyes met, Elric's body moved to bow on its own. After Elric, Lesse who happens to stand beside him also bowed down.

"Wait, if Lesse is here beside me, then, who is that powerful-looking dragon? Although I felt so powerful now, why does it feel like I am an ant compared to this one?"

Lesse on the other side counts not help but shudder in fear and excitement.

"What is the Legendary Ancestral Dragon doing here?!"
