Leo The Dragon Heir

Chapter 3

Leo felt a surge of energy going through his body. He was not familiar with that amount of power. Leo was originally bigger and stronger than most children in Lyron, he was some kind of different breed.

But Leo never questioned his strength, he was born with it and there was nothing about it that had made him question anything. But it was a bit different now, he had awakened something within him, and he was going to be using his powers to make sure that he didn't die.

Leo got up, he was looking at the Orc Bear with pure rage in his eyes and there was no way he would be letting the creature land another blow on him like that.

“What is this feeling?” Leo looked at his body. Although it was covered in wounds, he could feel energy and power coming from it.

He looked at the Orc Bear as it prepared to charge at him one last time. He didn't know what he was going to do. The Orc Bear charged faster than before, but Leo didn't move this time.

“Come on! Show me what you can do!” Leo let out a battle cry, he was filled with so much energy that it let him look at the Orc Bear like it was nothing to him. “This will not be like my last life, I will keep fighting until I am out of breath! I will not die running or hiding from anything!”

ARR! The Orc Bear roared as it charged for Leo. This time, it was faster and it was not looking at Leo like a prey anymore, but rather, it was seeing Leo as a threat.

The Orc Bear tried to slash Leo. The blow landed, but Leo only let the Orc Bear hit him so he could hold it down. “You might have slashed me the first time, but this time I will make sure that there is no other way you will do that!”

Leo, not knowing where he had gotten the strength from, knew that if he was to let the Orc Bear go then it would be his life on the line. He lifted the Orc Bear from the ground, and he then managed to throw the Orc Bear aside.

The Orc Bear fell, but it was not going to back down, it was going to find a way to kill Leo. Leo, on the other hand, was looking at the Orc Bear. He knew he had nothing to lose, but he was not going to let the creature kill him or even land another blow.

"This time I will stop running, I will have to make this life different from my last!” Leo looked at the creature, and he charged at the Orc Bear this time. Their collision sent a shockwave through the forest, and Leo held his own against the bear.

“You will not win! I will not die here! Ahhh!” Leo let out a cry before he landed a blow on the Orc Bear. The blow was so deadly it sent the Orc Bear into the ground. Leo had taken down a creature that the people of Lyron feared. Most people in Ivandale wouldn't even think of going up against an Orc Bear, but Leo had taken it down without having much complications.

Leo could barely stand, he was looking at the Orc Bear and he couldn't believe he was the one who had killed the creature. “How on earth did I do that? It should be a creature above the red mana core, so how did I, with no magical affinity or mana cultivation, beat it?”

Tired and exhausted, Leo fell to the ground due to all the wounds he had on his body. It was like he was not going to be walking for some time. Leo had passed out and there was no telling what would happen to him if he remained there.

Not far from him, two men were watching him face the bear. They chose not to interfere to see if he was the one that had come from the orb. “There is no doubt, he is Abigail’s boy and I know it’s odd, but why didn't he use his magic, and why is he here? Where is Abigail?”

“I can't feel the boy's magic, so he defeated that beast with his raw strength. But then I can also feel a seal. What did Abigail do to this boy? We have to make sure we take him back to the hut, we have to make sure he is okay,” one of the men suggested. He was not going to let Leo die there, and he wanted to know how Leo could kill the Orc Bear without using magic.

The men had taken Leo back to the hut where they laid him down and covered his wounds. They wanted to know what might have happened to bring him to Siv.

“He broke most of his bones fighting that beast. He has grown up to be like his father in terms of strength. But I still don't understand why Abigail put a seal on him,” one of the men said as he examined Leo. He saw that his mana core had been blocked since he was a little boy.

“This seal has been on him since he was a child, but it's like Abigail had a plan to make sure that he was in check for the long term.” The man looked at the seal on Leo.

It was a seal made with pure druidic magic, a magic that had surpassed three cores of mana. It was clear she had a reason for trying to seal her son’s mana core. “He is going to find it hard to cultivate his mana if he was to be unsealed.”

“But he will still catch up. After all, he is the son of the last Dragon King. Even if he has his mother’s blood running in him. His human gene is only taking up thirty percent of his body, he is a dragon that hasn't yet unlocked his core.” The man looked at Leo, he was trying to see if he would get anything out of what happened to Abigail.

They were looking at Leo when they felt something coming. The men were on high alert, prepared to face any threat that came their way. But it wasn't a threat, it was the necklace Abigail threw to protect Leo.

“This is Abigail’s amulet. What is it doing here?” The man asked, looking at the amulet. He wasn't going to let anything surprise him.

The amulet let out a little glow, a holographic image of Abigail came out, and it was of her when she was a bit younger.

“I don't know who is seeing this, but I pray it's my brothers in Siv. If you are seeing this message, it means that they found us, and I am probably dead.”

The men watching the message stood there petrified. They didn't know what they were going to say or do when they heard that Abigail might have passed away.

“After we left to live a normal life in Aranthia amongst the humans, we were tracked down by a group of powerful beings called The Fangs Of Chaos. They were the ones that killed my husband, Vallin.

Their mission was to take Vallin's draconic mana core to unlock their sealed masters. Vallin, before he died, transferred all his mana core to his son Leo, saying that his son would be the one that would bring an end to the chaos coming from Ivandale.

He urged me to seal his mana core until he was older so that we could live a peaceful life in the meantime, and I know that there is no way they will stop until they make sure that they collect the mana core and release the end of the world. Please take care of Leo. One wish I have is that you let him break the seal himself. It will make him cultivate his powers more efficiently than anyone, and it will also let him become strong enough to take on the Fangs Of Chaos and let him win them in battle. He is the last hope Ivandale has to stand against the coming chaos.”

The hologram went off leaving the Amulet behind and the men were shocked when they saw the message. They looked at Leo, they didn't know what they were going to do or say.

“Abigail is gone? The Fangs Of Chaos? What is going on here? There is no way that some people could have been able to kill Vallin like that and even push Abigail to the corner. Vallin was a freaking Dragon King, he was a creature that had surpassed the Golden Mana Core. How is it possible that he was killed by a group of people that we are just hearing of for the first time?”

“It's strange, but if what this message said is accurate, then we have to train this boy to become stronger. He already showed he had his father's strength. I know he will break through his mana cores in no time. We just have to pray that nothing happens while we train him. The last thing we want is to face opponents that can easily kill a Dragon King.”

They looked at Leo. The boy was a sign of hope for Ivandale, someone who would rise above all and ensure that the land is not destroyed.
