Chapter 272 [272] An Unbelievable Sight.
Some questioned it, some even thought it was an Illusion, and some just thought it was another awakened doing awakened stuff.
[Supreme dragon of Fire Agri urges you to hurry!]
"IM GOING AS FAST AS I CAN!"
Elijah and Agri bickered during the ride. Elijah was going as fast as he could. What was worse was that the rain was hindering his speed. He was a fire element awakened. The environment currently was unfavorable for him.
He blitzed through the city and just as he reached the slums, a giant thunderbolt struck the ground quite a distance away from him.
[Supreme dragon of Fire Agri urges you to hurry.]
"FINE!"
Elijah put his all into accelerating as fast as he could the moment the thunderbolt fell.
He could feel it...a fight was going on there. Two powerful energies were colliding with one another will full force. One was mana...But he didnt know what the other one was.
The sky was rumbling with thunder and rain fell down, but the sound of the fight occurring was still overpowering the sound of this storm.
Elijah could feel the immensely powerful mana colliding with the energy of a thunder Giant...going up against the mana of a dragon!
Since he evolved into a drake, he could feel it more clearly. A Dragon was fighting a Thunder Giant!
But how was this possible? Earth does not nearly have enough mana or Aura to support even one of those races! Let alone two!
I need to hurry!
Who knows what damage could be done if they ran rampant any longer?!
However...he noticed something strange. The feeling of mana and the other energy colliding in the air was gone. It was now all silent. he couldn't feel the Dragon or the Giants!
Did something happen? Why did they suddenly stop fighting...did the fight end? Then who won?
He would find out soon enough. In a short while he had reached the place where the fight was happening.
However instead of seeing a giant and a lizard going at each other...he found quite a peculiar sight.
Two bodies, severely injured lying on the ground, unconscious. One had a face he remembered. But the other was slightly familiar.
"...Alan?"
Elijah said, stunned.
[Supreme Dragon of Fire Agri urges you to go closer.]
Elijah listened to Agri and went near the two fallen. He could feel the energy of a Dragon from Alan...and the thunder Giant from The other one.
"Alan! Wake up!"
He fed Alan a potion but it was of no use...Alan was unconscious and severely hurt. Blood was still seeping out from every part of his body. And multiple areas were black and purple and also he could see some bones broken.
...Alan? That ALAN was reduced to this state? Elijah wondered. He was unaware of the full story so he could only draw this conclusion...that the Thunder Giant had defeated Alan.
After shoving a few more potions down Alan's throat. He could see his body starting to heal so he began to inspect the other one. After getting closer he could see that even this one was covered in injuries...
It was a wonder how these two weren't dead.
"...wait?"
Elijah, looking at the bruised face of the 'Thunder Giant' muttered. He thought the face looked familiar.
Cautiously, he fed the 'Thunder Giant' a healing potion which was also a strong sedative...and when the face started to heal he recognized him...
"...Lucas?"
The rank four in Shield, he didnt know much about him. Just that he was some sort of a pervert that harassed Sabrina for a while then didnt. He didnt really have much of a presence besides the first day when he used a skill. Wasn't he an asshole though? Elijah didnt know that much about him so he couldn't really say anything.
[Supreme Dragon of fire Agri tells you that people are coming.]
Elijah, listening to Agri, thought.
'...what do I do? They both need intensive medical care but I don't know why they fought. they still are classmates and Alan is a friend...so should I just take them both to the Associations Healthcare Center?'
He wondered, but in the end, he took both of them and stealthily avoided the crowd of people that came to check the commotion.

[Agri's POV]
Thunder giants...They were a race of Giants who were in tune with elements of the Wind and Lightning.
Thunder giants are towering, muscular humanoid beings with skin as hard as a rock and coursing with sparks of electricity. They have broad shoulders and long arms, and their imposing presence is only enhanced by their imposing size, standing anywhere from 30 to 50 feet tall. Some of them are even the size of mountains, the royalty especially. Their eyes glow with a fierce lightning blue, and they have long, wild hair that crackles with energy.
I remember them clearly. Their powers and abilities are engraved into my memory. Thunder giants have control over thunder and lightning, and can conjure up massive storms and bolts of electricity with a single gesture. They can also manipulate the earth and rock with ease, using their great strength to reshape mountains or carve out deep tunnels. They have incredible resistance to physical damage, and their electrically charged skin can cause severe shocks to anyone who tries to strike them.
But as I saw the scene in front of me...My curiosity only increased, As well as doubt.
Thunder giants are known for their pride and fierce independence, rarely submitting to anyone else's authority. They have little patience for weakness or indecisiveness and respect strength and courage above all else. They are often solitary beings, preferring to live in isolated mountainous regions or worlds far away from other races, unlike the other giant races.
So how did that young boy actually meet the bloodline requirement to be accepted? And how did he even get ahold of the Bloodline?
I wondered...but that was not the cause of my concern. I, frankly don't care if the race begins anew from him. Yes, they ruled an entire Galaxy in the past but so what? It was only a single galaxy. Furthermore, they were stupid enough to declare war on us Fire Dragons for unknown reasons. So I got rid of them. And Besides...even if the race begins anew from that Human child. They won't have enough time to prosper...because the inevitable end will be near.
But talking about that same Inevitable end...that is not the Aranus I know of. Even if he hasn't regained his strength...the entire...What do those humans call it? Vibe? Yes, the entire vibe is different. At first, I thought James was in control and playing tricks...but James...even when he is acting cannot be that stupid sometimes.
So what is it?
Aranus is never that weak. James is not that stupid. Is something else going on that I am unaware of?
Even that Spatial Element is weird... I just thought James was trying something new but was I wrong?
There's something different about this iteration...
Am I just imagining things? Or is there something going on that I am unaware of?
I only know of one dragon that can answer me correctly...Well, maybe two Suleras and Lanesha, The Guardian Dragons of Aranus and James.
Suleras...however will be tough to find. I don't know where he is. he should be in the abyss or in the Capital...but who knows? Should I go search for him?
I got up and sent a mana signal in order to determine his location but I couldn't find it. So I tried Lanesha's.
Fortunately, I found hers...Wait.
What is she doing in Madam Ariels...realm?
'You know what? I would rather ask Suleras.'
I thought and began my effort to find that damn Chaos Dragon.
