G-Drake quickly brought Bruce Pang up to the Ancestor's location where he stuffed the meditation elixir into his mouth without missing a beat.

I arrived a split second later and could not help but cry out in shock.

It was no wonder that the Blue Dragon was winning the battle against the old man.

The highly corrosive Dragon Saliva vapor was leaking from its body, and it had caused the old man's skin to bubble everywhere! Many of the bubbles had even burst, causing blood to seep out from those wounds.

The Ancestor was in a world of pain, and it was affecting his mental battle against the Blue Dragon.

Thankfully, Bruce Pang knew exactly what would happen, and he brought along other medicine that could help resist the Dragon Saliva vapor and heal the old man's wounds.

He administered those medicine quickly, and the old man's condition rapidly improved.

But the damage was done.historical

The Blue Dragon had turned the tables around, and it was winning the battle. Its heartbeat had increased to around 50% of its normal rate, and would soon recover.

There was no time to lose.

We had to escape.

There was no way that we would be able to deal with a pissed off Blue Dragon which had assimilated with Clone, and who just had his Crown Prince enslaved by me.

No bloody way.

"Let's go." I said grimly and pointed to the joyride pod on G-Drake which I had very fortunately made earlier. "I have enslaved this dragonling. We can escape with him."

Bruce Pang turned to look at me and nodded.

He grabbed the Ancestor and within seconds, we were squeezed together in the small pod, and then we were off.

We blitzed past the entrance of the Circle Trove and exploded towards the portal at incredible speed.

The Americans and Europeans were probably still out in the Pacific Ocean, of course.

But meeting them was far better than meeting with an angry dragon.

In fact, having the dragon meet with the other human factions would be an interesting sight to see. I wasn't opposed to that scenario at all.

I kept looking back, fully expecting an angry Blue Dragon king to burst out and chase after us in full fury.

But thankfully, it never did.

"It must still be reeling from the battle with the Ancestor. The Ancestor isn't awake either." Bruce Pang said reassuringly.

I nodded and breathed out heavily.

We escaped the Blue Dragon lair at hyperspeed, and plunged into the dark icy waters of the chasm.

"How's the old man?" I finally asked as a measure of relief flooded my heart.

"He's fine. In fact, he is more than fine. He had eaten a meditation elixir and a bunch of rare treasures that would make him many times stronger physically. He should be waking up soon." Bruce Pang said as he eyed me with a thoughtful look.

"That's good to know. But what the heck are you doing looking at me like that?" I asked him as I squirmed uncomfortably in that small pod.

It was a spacious pod for one person.

But for three, it was woefully small. Bruce Pang's face was a mere meter or two away from mine.

"I presume that your body does not need anymore strengthening after eating another experimental core and a huge bunch of Gavarels?" He asked me curiously.

"Yeah. I am stronger than most white mechas. You don't have to worry about my body." I said confidently.

"Good." Bruce Pang nodded. "So I don't need to give you anything. I didn't manage to take many rare medicinal treasures with me. I will share what I have with your sister in law and the rest of the Blood Moon team."

"Oh, yes sure. I don't need any physical boosting treasures." I said as I glanced at his bulging backpack.

Didn't take many rare treasures? Yeah right.

I glanced at the old man for a second or two and nodded in wonder. His vitals were strong, and a trace of black was already showing at the roots of his white hair.

That damn old man was actually turning back time and becoming physically younger!

Ridiculous.

But it was good news.

The longer we had him around, the better it would be for the country.

I glanced at the control panel and noticed that it would take us almost an hour to reach the academy if we set off now.

"Should we go back? Or should we hang out here first?" I asked my big bro.

"I need to check the black and white hearts in Chronos. Your body should be able to withstand the water pressure, right? Get into Chronos and check the situation." He said as he shoved a small Chronos keychain into my hand.

I did as he said, and quickly made my way into Chronos.

A sense of frustration surged in my heart as I saw a white ball intact behind a small glass panel. Next to it were black coloured broken pieces.

The black heart had shattered.

The coast was not only not clear, it was fully dominated by the enemy.

I took the white heart with me and made my way back to the pod.

"What do we do now?" I asked Bruce Pang with a frown.

"The blue dragon is probably still unconscious. And if that's the case, we must avoid alerting the Americans and Europeans to our activities here. For now... We hide. The most dangerous place is the safest place. Let's go back to the blue dragon lair." Bruce Pang said calmly.

I gulped and then nodded.

"G-Drake. You heard the man. Find us the safest hiding spot in your lair." I instructed him. "Make it quick! We don't want to meet with your dad."

"Understood." G-Drake said calmly and turned around to go back into the portal.

I was worried about the blue dragon, of course. But I was also quite looking forward to having my red energy restored and absorbing the rest of the awesome mechas in the Circle Trove!
