Blood Type: Dragon

Kahayag was not just a fine warrior but a smart one as well. She knew pretty much the weakness of the cursed knife and seeing that the two dragons are about to push for a breakthrough, she also realized the possible move that they can grab.

She knew that the Tribulation of Light contains the power of heaven and its purifying attribute as well. Basically speaking, if the two eastern Dragons are not dumb, they could grab that opportunity to channel the lightning from the Tribulation and dispel the soul locking curse that had been holding Elric back.

Knowing the possibility of such a problem, Kahayag made sure to count each second ever since the dark clouds started to appear. Witnessing a Dragon doing a tribulation is obviously not a new thing to her considering her actual age and experience; thus giving her the idea of what will obviously happen next.

"hehehe..."

A wicked smile slowly curved in her face. An idea popped out and she could not help but giggle a little.

Then, she discreetly sends the Envoy a message and the latter suddenly sprang up in agitation.

"Are you sure about that?"  The Envoy asked excitedly.

"Yes. As long as you can hold them off even for just five seconds, those Dragons are as good as yours." Kahayag replied with a mischievous smile. 

"Then leave that to me."

***

"Hahahaha! Fools!" Kahayag laughed sinisterly as she watched the ma.s.sive Shadow devoured the two Dragons whole.

They were just a few meters upon reaching Elric when the Shadow suddenly emerged out from the ground and swallowed the unsuspecting Dragon.

"What now!? These Dragons are too powerful! I can"t hold them much longer!" The Envoy quickly asked as he struggled to contain the two Dragons inside him. From the outside, one could see the Envoy"s ma.s.sive dark body continued to expand and bloat like a pufferfis.h.!.+

ROAAR!~

ROOAAAR!~

The Dragons inside him are fighting back! 

BOOOM!

BOOM! BOOOM!~

Lesse and Long were caught off guard by the Envoy, but it doesn"t mean they don"t have the means to fight back. With the strength just inches away from the King Dragon"s level, even if they are facing the empowered Envoy, Dragons are still not something a mere dark Spiritual can take on.

BOOOM!~

BOOM BOOM!~

From the outside, Kahayag could see the Shadow"s body bloating up wildly with bright flashes exploding from the inside. It was the powerful explosion of fire from the Dragon"s attack!

"Hurry!" The Envoy shouted at Kahayag as he struggled to maintain his body from exploding from the boiling of explosions inside.

Then, with a wicked smile, Kahayag suddenly chanted mysterious words in rapid succession while her hands drew weird signs in the air. 

The Envoy saw Kahayag"s movement and could not help but frown in confusion.

"What are you doing!?"

But the next time the Envoy realized was a glowing magical inscription flowed out of Kahayag"s feet and scattered across, it ultimately formed a large circle covering the entire area that looked like a magical summoning circle.

"Wait.. this is-"

KRAAKAAAAABOOOOM!!!!~

And the Tribulation had finally roared from the sky, sending down a concentrated rain of lightning and reaching the ground before the Envoy would know it.

Elric"s body was protected by a layer of magical barrier from Kahayag, while the rest of the outside were exposed to the full brunt of the Tribulation of Light.

BOOOOOOOM!~KRAAAAAKABOOOM!

Unlike the Tribulation of Light for the Elder Dragons, the heaven"s challenge for those who dare to ascend to the King"s level had to face more strikes containing the power about a hundred times of its normal strength!

The Envoy, which happens to be a dark-affiliated being and also holding the Tribulation"s target, was like a piece of tofu constantly being ripped apart by the furious lighting!

AAAACKGHH!~

As much as the Envoy wanted to s.h.i.+ft to its Spiritual form, he could not help but cry in regret; for only the Lightning Element has the power to work against the dark-affiliated being,  especially a dark spiritual like him!

As for Kahayag, she was basking in the lightning as if getting a comforting hard lightning ma.s.sage!

Apart from her great compatibility with the Lightning element, she was also a Spiritual from the Realm of Light who also happens to take comfort and would swiftly recover her strength in the presence of Lightning itself!

In less than two seconds, Kahayag is back in her peak strength! 

Lesse and Long on the other hand also suffered hard against the barrage of the Lightning. Their chances of surviving the tribulation have also thinned down as they recklessly wasted their energy a while ago just trying to escape the Envoy"s containment.

AAAGHK~

GROOOOAR-AAGKCH!~

And with each merciless strikes from heaven, Lesse and Long"s body are also going through an explosive test. Their muscles, bones, and scales are being pulverized with each painful hit from the lightning. 

It was only thanks to their overwhelming regenerative abilities that their entire body still remained intact, albeit barely holding on. Not to mention, their unyielding will and spirit allowed them to continue the test despite the uncertain victory.

However, as each second pa.s.s by, both of their struggles slowly faded. Their Dragon body had finally stopped moving.

The Tribulation of Light for the King and Queen Dragons was just too merciful that they ended up into nothing but a ma.s.sive ball of fire from the intense heat produced by the numerous lightning.

In just one minute, the Tribulation of Light has finally ended. The dark clouds slowly dissipated, revealing the bright and glorious presence of the sun and the real state of the area.

With Elric safe and sound inside a magical barrier behind her, Kahayag scanned her surroundings and she could not help but laugh gleefully from the result.

The entire area looked like it had just gone through a series of small meteor strikes. The whole place was scorched black from the power of the lightning and the plain land has turned into a ma.s.sive crater!

"HAHAHAHA!~"

In the end, it was all Kahayag"s win.

A while ago, her strength was reaching complete depletion and she was having a problem with how to deal with the shameless Envoy who did not honor their agreement. Not to mention the stupid Dragons even dared to challenge her.

But thanks to her quick thinking and relentless att.i.tude, the sweet scent of victory had been revealed to her in the form of the devastating ground due to the furious Tribulation of Light, while she breathed with her strength back to its fullness. 

With the help of Tribulation of Light and Elric as the bait, she managed to fool the creepy Envoy to work for her only to end up into a tiny speck of black dust scattered everywhere while the two Dragons were still burning unceasingly at the moment.

"WHAHAHAHAHA!~"

Kahayag"s witch-like laugh continued to echo in the air for quite some time until she heard an unexpected sound.

SSSSSSSH~

Out of nowhere, a heavy and domineering voice of a man suddenly resounded across the area. 

"Hearing you laugh like that and witnessing how wicked your ways are, no wonder you were banished from that land."

Kahayag"s face quickly turned into a frown upon hearing the voice. Her eyes scanned the area but still could not see the culprit.

Then the scattered dust of the Envoy started to move on its own. Slowly, those tiny dust just started to float in the air and converged in a single spot. There is even black dust that came from far distances.

SSSSSSSH~

It looked as if a black wind was suddenly pa.s.sing by, only to get absorbed by a small vortex.

"This..." 

Upon seeing the weird movements of the dust, Kahayag could not help but feel gooseb.u.mps coming out of her back. Her eyes showed signs of great fear and hatred. Sweat quickly slid down her cheeks as she started to hold grip her bow of light tightly.

Then Kahayag mumbled, "That voice... you..."

"I am glad you still remember the invoice. How long has it been? Three hundred years? Five perhaps? I Can"t really tell. You see..." The haughty voice of the man came from the congregating black dust.

Seeing what the dark dust was doing, Kahayag quickly loaded her bow, charged it with a concentrated arrow of light, and forcefully shot the solid congregation of black dust at point-blank range.

FWOOOOOM!~

SSSSSSSSSSSSH~

But it ended only as a futile effort as the black dust still continued to form a huge circle.

FWOOOOM!!~

FWOOOOM!~

FWOOOM!~

Kahayag tried a lot more times, stopping it from merging but to no avail.

"Why are you trying to stop it? Just when I thought you that missed me."

Then the huge congregation of black dust started to transform.

A man with pitch-black skin, reminiscent of the night, with red glowing eyes, a simple looking golden crown covered its entire head and a dark cape covered its ten-foot-tall body.

"Katimo..." recognizing the new ent.i.ty before her, Kahayag whispered his name with a fearful yet determined gaze.

He is the King from the Realm of Darkness.

"You should now that I have to sacrifice all the Shadow beings in this entire continent, the Envoy included, just for me to get a forced transfer ticket on this ugly place,"  Katimo said as he shoves the dirty specks of dust landing in his cape.

Kahayag closed her eyes, she breathed deeply in and out and refocused herself. 

The next moment, she opened her eyes full of unyielding determination and fearlessness. 

She whispered a few chants and the barrier that was protecting Elric suddenly dissolved into thin air. Next, Kahayag effortlessly waved her hand and Elric"s unconscious body quickly floated in the air before landing just a meter in front of Kahayag.

"Let"s cut the chase. I have what you want, you have what I need. Give it to me now cause, I am too tired of all this sh*t".

"Ohhh. A quick business I see...." Then the King pulled out a small marble from its dark cape.

Kahayag"s eyes suddenly glowed intensely as tears quickly trickled down her cheeks. 

Inside the small marble in the King"s finger, she could see the small and faint image of a certain person...

"Lapu-Lapu..." Kahayag muttered with a sad and deep longing voice.
