After the impact had finally stopped, the males opened their eyes and stood up to see their homes broken with the beast in the middle of it, crackling with violent purple lightning around its body. Some were enraged at the sight of their homes destroyed, some were scared and surprised about the beast's sudden appearance. If Kuro hadn't warn them beforehand, more of them would've died.

"We're saved huh..."

"That damn monster!"

"Shit... The fuck was that?!"

"Doran, what do we do?! In our lives, that fucker's the strongest one we have to fight!"

Mixed feelings and screams came after another. As Grunt asked for Doran's leadership, he came back to his senses and looked for Kuro and Alicia.

'Dragon Slayer magic: Dragon's Sense'

Immediately, his body emitted a gray aura. Then, he sensed Kuro's whereabouts as well as all the others. There were some Mother's that died protecting their children from the Debris, while the others became heavily injured. The other people who couldn't prepare had died from either the debris or had been thrown away and had hit the back of their head. Alicia however, also saw where Kuro is. He sensed her going to Kuro's place. With that, he had already made his decision.

"ALL THE GIRLS SHALL TAKE THE CHILDREN! ESCAPE FROM THIS PLACE AND TREAT US AS DEAD MEN! ALL THE MALES EXCLUDING THE CHILDREN SHALL GIVE THEIR LIVES IN DELAYING THE MONSTER!"

After that declaration, the monster looked at them. With its purple draconic eyes, Doran knew that it was a Dragonkin, and seeing as it came there alone, it thinks that it alone is enough to kill them all. Its long pointy white hair that reached down to the middle of its hips started crackling with lightning once more. Its hands that were mixed with purple and black scales clenched tighter and tighter. The ground shook as it crackled more and more. Doran and the others prepared themselves.

"Everyone, it's been a pleasure drinking you guys."

"Doran, don't say that. If Negaro[1] does exist, then we can keep drinking that good ass beer for eternity."

"Haha... True."

Doran and the others picked up their weapons and released their own mana.

"Alright everyone, just like in the wars... LET'S FUCKING DO THIS!"

Out of the 12 of the remaining fighters 2 of them charged ahead. Their claymore had swung down to the monster's head while the other one's gauntlets had charged to its stomach. They swung with all their might, but was embarrassingly blocked by its hands. As their hits landed its hands, the ground cracked, and the wind behind it blew away.

'What the?!'

'Our attacks... Were blocked?!'

Due to the sudden surprise, immediately, the monster pushed away their weapons and punched their faces at the same time. It was so strong, their heads were blown away, it was so fast, not even Doran saw its attacks.

The other 9 became enraged and immediately struck the monster. The monster fluidly evaded their attacks. Grunt's spear was broken by the monster as it evaded and killed him with its fast fist, Laeus's magic was absorbed by the monster and immediately went to him for the kill. As he had killed Laeus, an attack had landed. Sadly, the arrow that was heavily enchanted with magic only bounced off of its scales. The monster picked up the arrow and threw it to the archer, luckily, it was blocked by their defender.

"Ngh?!"

But it was too strong, although the arrow broke, the magic continued to persist. Suddenly, his shield broke, then his arm was pierced, then his lung, then it continued to the clueless archer. They were both killed.

Doran and his ally attacked with their swords, but his ally's face had been grabbed and he was used to block Doran's attack. Doran became enraged and had pulled out his sword and raised his sword to attack him again. Behind the monster and its sides were blocked with attacks, its feet was incapacitated by another of their mage.

'We have him!'

'Die Fucker!'

'He won't escape this one'

'This is for attacking our village! Face the Guardians!'

'For Grunt and Laeus!'

As they had said their regards within their minds, the monster crackled with lightning once more, and immediately, he struck everyone's faces at the same time. The mage was also struck, but with lightning instead of its fist. He was burned to charcoal.Doran was the only one who lived at the cost of his sword, even the monster was surprised.

Doran, who kneeled down on the ground, was starting to get dizzy used 'Dragon's Sense' once more, he saw that many of the mother's had already gathered. He also saw Kuro with Alicia, Kenny, Gran, Levy and Bea. It seems as if they were safe for now. Kuro was still unconscious however...

"_________!"

'...'

"_________!"

'...'

"Kuro!"

"-!"

Immediately as he heard that, his eyes became wide opened.

"Ha... Ha..."

Alicia, who was carrying him was what he saw first.

"Kuro, you're finally awake."

The one that spoke was Gran. Kuro's eyes were slowly starting to be clear.

"Wh... What happened?"

"We were attacked." Alicia was the one that spoke this time.

As she said those words, Kuro's eyes immediately became clear and saw the look of the others' eyes. They were crying.

'Mana sense'

Sensing everything in the village by spreading out his mana, he tried to look for their families... Only to know that his is the only one that remained out of the 5 of them. He tried to see the group's remaining survivors that were grouped up. There was only 8 left excluding them, overall, there was only 14 left out of the 50+.

'Dad.'

He tried looking for Doran and the monster, only to see that Doran and the monster was the only ones remaining in the center.

"Dad!"

Kuro immediately stood up from his mother's embrace, which caught her off-guard.

"Kuro! We need to run!" His mother was commanding him, but Kuro continued to get near.

"Dad! You can do it! Kill him!" Kuro shouted at the top of his lungs.

The other kids saw what was happening, and out of desperation, they also yelled in unison.

"Doran! Live!"

"Fight him chieftain!"

"Beat him up!"

Even Kenny and the others had joined in the yelling.

"Go Mister Doran!"

"Doran Kill it!"

"Go Doran go!"

The kids kept yelling, and Doran, who was in front of the monster, finally moved again.

"These kids... Are noisy... Yet, I can't really stop them from screaming."

He slowly stood up, broken blade in hand.

"You... I know you're a Dragonkin. Why are you killing the last of your kind? Why are you killing us Guardians?"

The monster... Opened its mouth, letting out a deep voice.

"I will speak out of respect for living through my one attack. I heard of a prophecy, that this village will give birth to the 'Silver King's Reincarnation'."

"The fuck? You really believe in that shit? Is that enough reason to kill our entire village?"

"... No. But I have enough reason to believe in the prophecy though."

"Haaa?"

"How old is your child?"

"... He just turned 7 yesterday."

"I see... Then it will be harder for me to kill him."

Immediately, his gray aura became much more dense.

"You... DARE!"

He pulled out the Dragon-tooth necklace that was hung around his neck, and it turned into a giant sharp-edged tooth with a hilt.

"'Dragon's Rage'!"

The amount of mana had increased 10-fold and his body had become more bulky. Then, his body slowly changed. He even used the skill, "Ancestral transformation" on top of "Dragon's Rage".

It was at this point, the violet Dragonkin stretched his body out in preparation for battle. Afterwards, he showed a fighting stance common for hand-to-hand combatants. It then crackled down with lightning from the top of its hair down to its feet.

"Kuro! Watch your old man take down this bastard! I'll show you... The power of the son of Shin!"

Immediately, the 2nd round had started. Doran's tooth blade collided with the monster's fists. Blow after blow, the ground shook and the air around them whistled. Flurries of fists and blades had flown around, creating a sphere of certain death around them.

The monster then slowly emitted purple light around it. As Doran saw that, he also started emitting gray light. They then struck each other's fist with the gathered magic power, which caused a powerful explosion. It was so strong that both of them were pushed back. As Doran raised his blade, he felt it to be too light. As he looked, it was already broken.

"Tch, so you're not all brawn huh?"

"Hah! I could say the same to you."

Doran threw away his sword.

"That tooth lost its former centuries ago. Where'd you even get it?"

"It was my Mother's memento."

As Doran said that, the monster paused for a moment before speaking again.

"So you trained in case of that type of event happening huh... I commend your determination, but I'd like to end it all here."

"It's a shame really... But I want to be cool in front of my son."

Doran took on the same pose as the monster's, and then came the 3rd round. As if the 2nd round was fast, this was faster.

'Is he getting faster and faster?' The monster thought as he continued throwing in a barrage of fists.

As they hit each other, everyone watching was hearing cracks. It wasn't lightning, it was the sound of something breaking.

'-?!'

As the monster thought, Doran was getting faster. And he was still accelerating and even growing stronger. It looked at itself, only to see its own scales slowly break off.

'As I thought. This bastard Awakened. It seems his Awaken ability lets him get stronger as time goes by huh... I knew something was different when I struck him once more.'

As the monster thought of it, he immediately gathered more and more mana.

'This monster still has more?! Shit! Did he already realize it?!'

Doran started releasing his flames from his mouth. Immediately, as the monster saw this, it slowed down to prepare itself to evade, however, Doran's fists wouldn't let him. It couldn't gather enough mana to do a big attack, it couldn't do a small attack or even try to dodge, it was already cornered.

"Go Daddy Go!" Kuro yelled him these words as he saw it getting pushed back and cornered.

It was already over.

From Doran's mouth, a big laser blast had blown away the monster. As its attacks had stopped, so did Doran's fist, but not his breath. It continued blasting it at its direction, and had slowly increased in power. The flame slowly changed from red to orange to purple to blue. It was surely dead at this point, yet Doran kept blasting at it. Seconds later, the blast had finally gotten weaker. It weakened to the point that the blast had ended. He saw the monster cover its entire head with its arms, but both it and its arms were burned to char.

As Doran saw this, he finally let his Ancestral body crack open. His Draconic scales slowly crumbled down, his 3 pairs of horns had slowly torn down, and his wide opened eyes had become heavier. Suddenly, Alicia took Doran, who almost collapsed.

"Thanks Honey."

"Don't... Do that again."

"I... I know."

He saw Kuro's eyes shine as they went closer to them with the others.

"Hey Champ! Was I cool?"

"Heck yeah!"

Kuro ran up to them to help his Mother and Father out. Even in the midst of chaos, his silver hair was still noticeable.

*THUMP THUMP*

'Eh?'

At the sudden surprise of the window, a huge and powerful lightning bolt had struck the monster. In total shock, Doran shed a tear.

"Run."

He turns to Kuro.

"RUN KURO RUN!"

Kuro turned his head, only to see the same monster without its injuries.

"Doran Sylphias. I remember now."

Kuro saw death right before his eyes.

"And you child... You are the King that must die."

It raised its claws, as if time slowed down, Kuro could see it raise faster than his legs could move.

'I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die I'm gonna die I'm gonna die I'm gonna die I'm gonna die I'm gonna die I'm gonna die I'm gonna die'

At what seemed like forever, the claw had dragged down to him. Blood had splattered all across both of their eyes... Only that it wasn't Kuro's blood.

"Papa!"

"Kuro... Run..."

His Father stood there. He had finally finished his role. He had finally took his last breath, yet his eyes never blinked again for the last time.
