Elios : Rebirth Of The Dragon Lord

6

A moment later, Eva and the man who had just entered the room left the room, while Elios also stood up, but when he had just taken a step, he immediately stopped because he heard Achel's words.

'Stay out of her business." Achel's words made Elios stop walking.

"Isn't she your old friend? Why do you seem hostile towards him?" asked Elios while looking at the main door of the room.

"She won't have any trouble dealing with her problems, so you'll just look stupid if you come there. And it's none of our business." replied Achel, who was still sitting on Elios' shoulder.

'I don't think there's anything wrong with what he said; maybe it's better that I don't interfere too much, especially now that they haven't fully accepted me,' Elios thought as he stepped back towards the door of the room quietly.

"If you don't want me to follow Eva, then now is the right time for us to talk," Elios said calmly.

Achel let out a long sigh. "I knew that one day I would talk to you like the people before you."

"Did the people before me also suffer the same fate as me?" asked Elios as he continued walking.

Achel then lowered his body position until he could finally rest his head comfortably, like the position of a dragon who wants to sleep. "No, they didn't. They are all just ordinary people. Do you believe that I have been looking for you for several hundred years?"

Elios glanced at Achel, who was currently like a lazy animal because Achel was already in a position to sleep, even closing his eyes. "I shouldn't believe in this, but there is a possibility about it."

"Just trust me," Achel said calmly.

After a while, Elios finally arrived at a park in the middle of Datsim. He stood at the edge of a medium-sized fish pond and stared at the reflection of the moon image in the center of the pond water.

"Then can you explain everything now? Because from the conversation earlier, I concluded that after this, the person called the immortal will hunt me," Elios said as he directed his gaze to the edge of the pond and looked at the reflection of his and Achel's images in the water. "Or I can conclude that that person will hunt us."

Achel raised his head again. "You're quite smarter than you were in your previous life."

Now Achel also looked at the image of her body in the water. "The one you call the immortal has the real name Sanclus; he's an earth element dragon."

"Earth element," Elios muttered.

"Even though we're called immortals, we can actually die," Achel said as he stood up. "And to reach the highest level, we have two ways. The first is to work hard, and the second is a shortcut by absorbing the power of other creatures."

"You mean like sucking the energy from another person's body?" asked Elios because he had seen a Dracula movie that showed a scene that had a concept that might be almost the same.

"We will kill our friend, and then when the core of his soul appears, we will immediately absorb it. After that all the power of the dead person will transfer to our bodies, but this method is a method that has been banned since thousands of years ago," Achel replied.

"Then, isn't it the case that if Sanclus is in power, then that means he might continue to hunt your friends?" Elios furrowed his brow.

Achel stared at the image of his body in the water coldly. "Yes, he keeps doing that to maintain his power."

'If that's the case, then he has special powers that make that woman keep looking for him,' Elios thought as he turned to Achel.

"Then why aren't you helping your friends?"

Achel was silent for a few moments. He recalled the incident five hundred years ago when he stood on the battle stage and had just defeated Sanclus.

"Look at the black blood coming out of his body, it's a sign that he has used forbidden means to get his current strength," Achel said while continuing to stare at Sanclus because he couldn't let Sanclus get a little gap and escape from the match area.

Achel and Sanclus fought because Achel told everyone that Sanclus was a cunning person who got his power by prohibited means, but no one believed his words because in everyone's eyes, Sanclus was a good person. Even after he showed clear evidence of Sanclus having committed a crime, everyone still didn't believe him and instead turned to attack him.

All the people around the fighting area united all their strength and then attacked Achel until finally Achel lost. And after all these things, Achel finally sat on his knees with his body chained using the energy chains of everyone in the place and was required to apologize to Sanclus.

"You are a sinner," said an old Phoenix bird that was the most respected creature at that time. The Phoenix carried a bottle and then threw the bottle in front of Achel.

"Because you're jealous of your friend, you're willing to give him a blood color-changing potion and then accuse him of doing something bad!"

Everyone around Achel immediately blasphemed Achel with various insults, except for Sanclus, who was currently silent and then secretly smiled sarcastically at Achel. Achel clenched his fists seeing Sanclus' sarcastic smile, but at this time he realized that he did all these things in vain because no one believed him even though he did all these things to save everyone's lives.

"You should know clearly what the punishment is for someone who has done something like this," said the old Phoenix as he walked closer to Achel.

"I will never apologize because I didn't do anything wrong," Achel replied in a firm tone. Then he turned around the place and looked at everyone with a sharp gaze. "You are all fools."

A moment later, the old Phoenix was standing right in front of Achel. "Since you are unwilling to admit your mistake, then I will be forced to punish you," he said as he released his energy and turned it into a sword.

"No!" said Eve, who had just come to the place. "I'm sure Achel didn't do this on purpose; someone must have instigated it. The three of us are the last dragons; I'm sure there's a mistake here."

Then Eve turned to look at Sanclus. "You should also understand this: we have been good friends all this time."

Sanclus immediately replied, "You're right, I feel that this Achel is being influenced by someone so that he can't distinguish between right and wrong."

He said that with a face that showed sympathy, but secretly his palms were clenched tightly.

"Do you have a problem with them?" asked Elios because Achel was currently silent.

"I warned them and tried to help them, but they chose to believe in Sanclus. And after that, they sent me here to receive punishment, so why should I help them again now?" Achel replied and then smiled sarcastically.

Elios looked back at the water. "I understand how you feel," he said.

"I know you can understand because our fates are on the same line," Achel said and flew off Elios' shoulder and landed on a rock by the pool.

Elios sighed. "But this time the problem is different. If Sanclus is indeed aware of this time change, then he will definitely hunt us down. Then are you going to let this happen?"

Achel turned around and looked at Elios calmly. "Are you worried about this, or are you pretending to be worried about this because you want revenge?"

"I do want revenge, but I'd rather not want to live my old life or end up miserable before I can make a change because the lives of the people who trusted me will also end up miserable when I die," Elios replied calmly.

The two of them stared at each other for a few moments, until Achel finally smiled sarcastically.

"You are indeed a human with the fire dragon line," said Achel.

"What do you mean?" asked Elios.

"Do you think the woman who was with Eve is a creature like us?"

Elios' eyes opened wide when he heard Achel's question.

"She is a human like you who shares the same lineage as Eve. And after they make the covenant, then that woman will become half human and half heavenly being like us," Achel explained.

Elios fell silent at Achel's words. 'Will I also become a creature like that woman?' he thought as he recalled his encounter with Eva earlier.

However, suddenly the place turned dark. Achel and Elios immediately raised their heads and saw Eve flying over the place.

'So the dragons can also change shape to become very large like this,' thought Elios, who was currently looking at Eve's huge head.

"What's wrong?" asked Achel grumpily.

A moment later, Eve's body turned smaller until Eve finally landed in the park.

"You have to leave this place right now!"

"What's wrong?" asked Elios.

A moment later Mr. Eros appeared from the west while running into the garden with a bird on his shoulder.

"You take them away from this place and guard them until I give the signal for you to return!" ordered Eve in a stern tone.

"Yes," replied Mr. Eros quickly.

After that, the bird on Mr. Eros' shoulder flew away and then turned bigger.

Meanwhile, Eve looked back at Achel and Elios.

"Is that person coming?" asked Achel while looking at Eve coldly.

"Yes, he came."
