ZUGZUGZUG!~All the Southern Dragons that had become a part of the gigantic cone were basically as hard as the strongest steel thanks to the buff given to them by Fargor"s unholy spell. And just went they were about to touch the ground and put a ma.s.sive hole in Elric"s ma.s.sive figure, something unexpected suddenly sprouted from Elric"s side.
***
Leah watched Elric excitedly as the latter laid idly inside the mountain of ice that was about to be punctured by the ma.s.sive cone formation of the Southern Dragons. As such, she was antic.i.p.ating the loud cras.h.i.+ng sound that would also represent their victory.
But what she heard and saw next was something out of her expectation.
BOOOOOOONNNNK!~
An unexpected defeaning sound of metal banging can be heard across the land as the cone formation landed.
Unfortunately, the ma.s.sive cone that was supposed to punch Elric down to the earth suddenly met an unexpected obstruction in the form of a gigantic turtle.
Dash cute little figure exploded into its gigantic form, breaking down the ice barriers that were holding Elric down and pus.h.i.+ng aside the diamond pillars that were obstructing Elric"s power.
"Leave this little thorn to me!" Dash proudly beckoned as he continued to increase his size to an insane size.
Using his sh.e.l.l, he singlehandedly stopped the cone from creating a ma.s.sive hole to Elric"s gigantic Dragon body.
Seeing this, Leah frowned slightly before switching back with a confident smile.
"Fools." She scoffed.
"AAGHK!!~ HEEELP!~HUGON KID!"
Unfortunately, Dash only managed to hold the gigantic cone for a second before its full momentum finally sank in.
CRAAAAs.h.!.+~
Dash"s body was instantly planted back hard to the ground as the cone crashed at its ma.s.sive back trying its best to puncture a hole on his gigantic sh.e.l.l. Fortunately, his turtle sh.e.l.l seems to have gone an unexpected upgrade considering its impenetrable defense.
However, it was not strong enough to deflect the cone formation on track. Not to mention, his total weight caused him an unexpected shock with the sudden s.h.i.+ft of insane gravity pulling on his ma.s.sive size! Dash could barely move from the spot at all!
"My bad~" Dash mumbled awkwardly, as his sh.e.l.l pushed Elric down like a ma.s.sive turtle on top of a tiny winged lizard.
Elric wanted to move away, but as the cone continued to crash hard while spinning on top of the giant turtle"s, he was still stuck at the bottom of the two! Fortunately, the diamond pillar formation had been disturbed by Dash, giving Elric as a small window to breath and think properly.
Without hesitation, he shrank back to his human form and took slipped out between the tight gaps under Dash"s ma.s.sive body.
"FIX THE SILENCING PILLARS!"
Leah"s voice echoed loudly at Arthur"s head.
"I KNOW! DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO. FREEZE THEM PROPERLY! THEY ARE ABOUT TO ESCAPE!" Arthur beckoned back.
With a pale face from his blood sacrifice, Arthur pushed himself harder as he refocused on the silencing pillars he summoned.
WOOOOONG~
Under Arthur"s power, the scattered diamond pillars swiftly moved back to their original position, instantly voiding Elric and Dash"s ability to use their elemental powers again. Even his transformation skills were instantly blocked!
ZUGZUGZUG!~
AGGGGH!!~
In less than two seconds, bloodied cracks are starting to appear at the top of Dash"s turtle sh.e.l.l. The cone brought with it an unimaginable power that, if given enough time, could pierce Dash to bits.
Seeing his savior now in his place, Elric was just about to transform back to his Dragon form when he realizes his transformation skills are locked again by the silencing diamond pillars.
AAAGHHHH!~ Dash cried in agony as he was helplessly being drilled down by the ma.s.sive cone formation of the Southern Dragons. The cracks in his sh.e.l.ls are starting to expand and Elric felt so powerless without his Dragon skill.
"Darn it!" Elric cursed as he tried his best to focus and give Dash the healing fire. Unfortunately, the unceasing vibrations from the diamond pillars continued to send painful reverberations to his body and mind that was messing up with his concentration.
"Hurry! I am dying her Hugon kid!" Dash bellowed with weakening energy.
"HAHAHAHA! Just die a fool! An elemental like you should have just remained in your own ugly land. Now that you are messing with us, don"t expect any mercy!" Leah laughed sinisterly as she watched blood started to ooze out of the cracking sh.e.l.l of Dash.
Elric saw the b.l.o.o.d.y situation of his friend, the Lord of the Water Elemental realm came out straight from the dimensional portal just to help him in the final moment. He could not afford to lose him!
"Hold on!" Elric suddenly turned around and sprinted out of the frozen mountain. Using his brute force, he pushed himself out of the frozen surroundings despite the constant barrage of freezing breath from the Northern Dragon, the dizzying vibrations from the diamond pillars, and the insane gravitational pull brought by the cone formation.
But with his trusted friend on the light who was willing to sacrifice for himself, Elric has never been as determined as before.
AAAAGGGGH!~
Dash"s agonizing cry echoed in his ears.
Hearing it, Elric"s eyes burned with flaming resolve. His movements resisting the terrible pull of gravity and the disturbance in his surroundings. He left behind deep tracks in the frozen ground.
"I will wipe you all."
Seeing Elric, suddenly moving away from the turtle, Leah could not help but smile in mockery.
"Can he even move past the diamond pillars with such a small human body? Stupid!"
But the next moment, Leah"s Dragon eyes dilated as she suddenly lost track of Elric. Half a second later, a loud cras.h.i.+ng sound exploded out from one of the diamond pillars.
CRRAAAAs.h.!.+~
BOOOOOOM!~
"Impossible!" Arthur was taken aback after witnessing Elric overcoming the paralyzing force against him.
One of Elric"s hand had been completely messed up to pieces due to the overwhelming punch he had just landed to break the diamond pillar formation.
As a result, one of the ma.s.sive diamond pillars had been broken into two and created a gap between the circling pillars, causing the silencing pillar formation to lose a little bit of its effect.
Elric was still covered in blood after doing so, but thanks to his natural healing ability, his body is starting to heal itself back at a very obvious rate!
Without waiting for his other hand to heal, Elric, with his supernatural Ancestral Dragon strength, raised up the broken pillar with one arm. Elric pointed the sharp end of the broken diamond pillar towards Arthur"s direction, his eyes full of murderous gaze.
Hurriedly, Arthur closed his eyes to concentrate and tried to summon another diamond pillar to mend up the failing silencing formation; when suddenly, he heard Leah shouting to him.
"Watch out!" Leah hurriedly anxious voice ringed to Arthur"s head.
He instinctively looked at Elric"s direction and that"s when he realized that the last broken pillar was actually flying towards his direction at insane speed!
KSSSIOOOOOK!~
Before Arthur could even think, the pillar was already planted to his head!
And unfortunately for him, it did not just stop there.
Considering that he was facing Elric with his whole ma.s.sive Western Dragon body lying on the ground, the long broken pillar continued to pierce straight to his body, instantly barbecuing him like a whole chicken!
Arthur"s ma.s.sive eastern Dragon body suddenly collapsed from the unexpected brutal spear of Elric. He had never expected that the proud and strong diamond pillars he used to silence Elric"s power will actually be used as a tool to kill him in the most inhumane way.
Leah, Fargor, and the rest of the enemy Dragons in the surroundings watched Arthur"s death with gaping mouth and chills running down their th.o.r.n.y spines. There are also those hidden watchers who could not help but p.i.s.s a little.
Elric did not waste any single millisecond. Now that the host of the silencing diamond pillars are gone, they were now nothing but a piece of expensive rocks.
Aside from the overwhelming gravity and cold, Elric"s elemental and soul powers started to surge flawlessly to every inch of his body like a water d.a.m.n finally unleashed.
BOOOOOOOOM!~
ROOOOOOOOAR!~
With the most annoying chain removed, Elric transformed back to his ma.s.sive Dragon form, immediately took a deep breath and unleashed a concentrated Dragon breath straight towards the ma.s.sive cone formation!
Unlike the usually ma.s.sive and furious torrent of fire that Dragons spew, Elric"s blue fire is now one of the most concentrated fire ever. Instead of looking like a bright wildfire, Elric"s current Dragon breath appeared more like a blazing lazer blade fizzing out of his open maw.
"NO!~" Leah saw what Elric was about to do, she tried to cast more of her restricting frozen prison but to no avail, without the help of the silencing diamond pillars, her powers were nothing but snowflakes against a flaming hot metal that is Elric!
