218 Ancestor

[ 'Lightning Cloud' adapted the (Longsword) form. ]

Using full 'Elemental Armament' with thunder element on 'Lightning Cloud', then coating it with both lightning and wind, I jumped and released my first test attack.

"GRAAAAAHHHHH"

Thump!

'As expected.'

Barely half a scale fell the ground which I stored inside my ring as Corrupted Shen Long continued to roar, sending icy solidified clouds at my way…

'Only Thunder element is effective…'

As a mythical dragon who manipulated weather, it wasn't that strange if the elements it controlled, Lightning, Wind & Water brought it no harm.

Flashing away before they even hit, I already grasped a simple plan to deal with it.

'It's dumb as expected using the most AoE damaging method to attack even me, an individual attacker…'

Thinking back to the words of that blond paladin, I could summarize what the demons' plan consisted of…

It was obvious to say that this Corrupted Shen Long was the 'Bomb' they talked about, it was actually a simple yet effective plan.

Exhaust their forces, then exhaust it again, and force the leftover forces to defend their citizens as long as they can or just fight and destroy the capital in the process.

The question was just how did they obtain a dragon, and manage to corrupt it that easily…

The corruption was already too effective that the dragon lost every ounce of intelligence and only wanted to bring destruction, I would say that its state was even worse than the Thunder Lion's who still had some mental energy persisting his corruption…

So the only option was to…

'Sorry…'

Kill it in one go! So it will no longer suffer the misery of being a soulless murder machine!

There was no need to fight more or bring more pain to it…

Pushing all my thunder elements out of my body to lengthen the blade so it could cut the huge dragon's neck...

'Exchange Thunder Style, Sword Streaking Through the sky'!

'May you rest in peace.'

'Stop spamming…'

Luckily after the third time of asking the notif froze no more sending another repeat notif…

'That's an unexpected bonus, but now is not the time for that.'

I suddenly felt the exhaustion of over-drawing my elements, but I still didn't get my body out of combat mode, in case an 'Overseer' pops out anytime soon…

"That evil dragon is no more!"

"We are saved!"

"Hurray"

[ Your Title 'Unknown hero' evolves into 'Hero of Lightning Capital'! ]

[ You have received the title 'Friend of Dragons'! ]

'What?'

{Finally!}

'Eh? Again?'

{My son is no longer shackled by these filthy shackles}

'Wait a sec…'

I seemed to have overlooked the fact that the Sky Dragon's corpse was still hovering in the air for some reason…

'Another mental energy influence…?'

Crackle… crackle...

Suddenly the corpse started shining as it produced crackling sound before… the corpse was completely sucked into two points…

Are these…

'Eggs?'

{Yes and no.}

'I won't be surprised that you can hear me, but at least an introduction would be nice.'

{Oho, you seem to be a very funny human, but as you wish, I'm ????, the ancestors of all dragons.}

'Oh, and what brings the mental connection of the great dragon ancestor here…'

{I'm here to see my son, the one and only sky dragon.}

'He isn't…'

{Of course he isn't dead! While we dragons aren't eternal, we don't die that easily!}

'...'

{Nevermind, I will just summarize it to you since your help will be needed, dragons are singular creatures, myths, and even concepts, just like Sky here, there is also Volcanic, Tree… and so on, but they only exist as one creature, unlike wyverns and other inferior creatures that are linked to our race…}

{Although dragons live long, they can't just keep on maturing, they live in cycles, once they reach the epitome of their maturing, they start over from eggs to whelps and so on, every cycle could take from 100~1000 years, of course, I'm in expectation that doesn't need to go through that…}

{As for Sky, he seemed to have been found when he changing cycles, being captured as an egg, and masked off by some hideous filthy shackles which made it impossible for me to provide help…}

'Is it the same existence that stopped those old powerhouses…?'

{You don't need to know… back to where we were, so Sky was almost lost, but thanks to your help he is now free, just that he is too damaged to grow in is own again and not in complete form at that.}

{As such, he split into two cycles at the same time to recover… so I require you to fulfill a task for me.}

'Which is?'

{You just have to take care of one of his cycles, and convince the other chosen one to take care of the other one.}

'Who-'

Before I could even respond, I was assaulted by the very hard egg which suddenly hit my stomach…

'Just why does this have to be so similar…'

{Oh it's? That's weird then, anyway, it seems like the Water-Wind Persona has chosen you as for the Lightning-Wind one...}

"Ouch…"

'I should have guessed…'

The target of the egg was...

"Hey! 'Demon Hunter'! What happened here! Also what is this strange egg shaped thing…"

Was the surprisingly too early to arrive Ellona…

{You just have to supply it was your true Wind source which you are about to…}

'Is this game broken or something…?'
