Choose to be a Dragon

Chapter 5

Save the girl.

Whether it is actually Dragon or a human, it doesn't matter. Aldwin's conscience did not allow him to go back and let everything go after witnessing all this absurdness.

Despite his current doubts and fears, he could not afford to just leave and watch that poor girl get devoured by the hungry monsters. One thing that his grandmother always taught him is to never refuse to help someone who needs it.

His eyes are now full of determination. He racked his brain out of what to do. The unconscious girl is in the middle of a small crater surrounded by scorched marks. She is lying there, naked, with her face and body covered by her long black hair.

He scanned the surroundings for anything that he could use to help the woman. It was still raining and he needs to move fast or his grandma might follow him in the forest and things could get worst than he imagined.

However, the real threats are the two monsters beating each other and causing damage everywhere with incredible strength and power.

Aldwin did not dare to move recklessly, much less grabbing both the monster's attention. He is now dancing in a thin thread of life and death all thanks to his curiosity.

The creatures before him right now are the legendary human eating Mananggal and the woman-kidnapping Kapre. Both with hostile intentions to human and Aldwin knew better than anyone than to get their attention.

"This time, curiosity might just kill my poor graphic-artist- ass!" He started blaming himself.

Slowly and silently, he moved inches after inches towards the senseless naked woman lying helplessly in the middle of a small scorched crater. He did not forget to hide in each possible cover as much as possible.

~Kyaaheieeiiee! heeiiI! heii heiiI!

~Rawwwhh!

The loud shouts of the Manananggal and Kapre echoed in the middle of the forest as they continue rampaging each other with heavy branches and claws. With every swing of the furious Kapre, the powerful swooshing sound could be heard from its sheer might!

But the Mananagal had the time of its life as it freakishly laughed and kept its safe distance away from the Kapre.

Despite the height and strength advantage of the Kapre, he was not able to land a single hit thanks to the Manananggal's incredible speed.

By constantly provoking the Kapre with an evil and maniac laugh of the Manananggal, they started going farther and farther from the unconscious girl.

The moment Aldwin confirmed that they have fought far away from the girl's location, he did not hesitate to finally run for it!

The moment he moved, his heart started beating wildly and his mind keeps telling himself with a very inspiring motivational speech:

"You are crazy Aldwin! You are crazy! You are crazy! You are crazy and you are so dead asshole!"

Aldwin dashed straight to the woman, slid down the crater, and, as a gentleman, he immediately threw his shirt to cover her sensitive parts with his blue muddy T-shirt. It was the least that he can do to protect her privacy after all.

The moment he reached the unconscious girl, he was appalled to realize her incredible beauty up close!

Her skin was still glowing faintly like a light bulb but it was so soft and smooth! Her black hair was silky long and she has a very small face. Her soft and small lips and long curly eyelashes would mistake her for a doll in first look!

The moment Aldwin touch the woman, her eyes suddenly opened.

It was an eye with a serpent-like vertical slit for a pupil while it was a glowing mixture of red and green light in the middle!

It was a dragon's eye but adorned with beautiful dancing faint lights of green and red inside! Aldwin was shocked by the woman's unexpected serpent eyes!

Suddenly the woman's expression turned to hate after she looked at Aldwin.

"Bùyào pèng wǒ!(don't touch me!)" The woman shouted angrily as she swung her arm that Aldwin was holding.

Unexpectedly, Aldwin failed to let go right away as he was swung far away with a single sweep of the woman's arm!

AAH!

Aldwin flew up high from the naked woman's mighty swoop. That woman had just swung her arms but he felt like it was a giant ogre's arms as he was effortlessly flung away like a cockroach in a woman's arm!

Is this actually a woman or an ogre? Why fling me like I am a criminal? I am here to help you just to let you know.

Judging from the words that she just spoke, Aldwin immediately knew it was Chinese although he had no idea what specific Chinese language it was, all he knew is that the woman with ogre-like strength spoke in Chinese.

-------

"Ouch!"

Aldwin landed around 5 meters away from the woman with her simple swing. He landed butt first and rolled like a potato for a while.

"What's with that crazy strength!? Are you a Kapre in human disguise? And was that Chinese!?" Aldwin was surprised to know that the beautiful woman was Chinese. He started to think that maybe Chinese people are related to dragons!

"Nǐ zěnme gǎn!!" ("how dare you!") The woman stood up with the shirt covering her body in front of Aldwin.

She stood with extraordinary curves and beauty that would make any men drop their jaw. With a glaring dragon eye, she stares at Aldwin with a condescending stare as if looking at a lowly creature.

She does not like the presence of Aldwin before her.

Contrary to the beautiful woman's anger, Aldwin had only one thing in his mind:

"She was smoking coca-cola hot!"

Aldwin could not help but stare in shock. If ratings could be done right now, it was an 11/10!

Suddenly she raised one of her hands towards Aldwin and shouted:

"Sǐle!"

Her hands started to glow and a ball of green fire suddenly emerged in her palm facing Aldwin. The obvious heat produced cracking sounds and steam from heat immediately rose above the fire.
