KRAKAKAKAABOOOM!~BOOOOM!~
BOOOOM!~
The whole land had been turned into a crater field, looking like the moon"s surface from the outside thanks to the relentless rain of lightning bolt"s from the now house-size bluish wisp. In the middle of the messy land is a small car-sized turtle with blue flame flowing seamlessly in between his sh.e.l.l.
"T-this is not working. I do not stand a chance at all." Wheezing hard from the shortness of his breath, Dash, struggled to keep up against his domineering opponent.
"Is that all? Please do not disappoint me, fellow Lord." The echoing arrogance from the voice of the bluish wisp filled the air as its ma.s.sive size continued to spark with destructive lightning in its surroundings.
"I was hoping that you would actually put a more challenging fight considering you managed to surprise me with your fire elemental attribute despite being a water elemental." It added while it hovered closer to Dash with its intimidating presence.
The wisp"s huge body was reflected at Dash"s beady eyes. True enough, all his attacks are rendered ineffective to a being who has no physical body. One must know that the-wisp is a pure energy-based elemental. A being completely invulnerable from all physical attacks.
No matter how powerful Dash"s water current blast or his blue fire, the wisp would just glow in chaotic brightness for a while as it is capable of absorbing the energy and convert it as part of its power.
It is safe to say that the more Dash fought back using elemental-based powers, the stronger the-wisp becomes. His forceful physical attacks and his proud super-stomping are even rendered useless, worst, it would only risk himself from getting closer to such a dangerous body of his enemy.
Dash"s body was mostly built for defense, unfortunately for him, the electrical attack of the wisp overcomes his sheer overwhelming physical defense. Although he has such high vitality, little by little, he is starting to reach his limit.
Few more direct hits from the lightning bolts and he would be a goner!
"I must find a way to defeat him without using physical or elemental powers. But the question is how? How do I fight it?" Dash thought as he immersed himself in trying to find a way to survive the next incoming attacks.
The ma.s.sive bluish wisp is now starting to emit even brighter light as if a lightbulb increasing in its voltage, energy from the air starting to congregate as if an extrpowerful charging bolt is coming.
"Now, before I finish you, I just happen to have one question." The wisp said as its body started to glow stronger, holding back the overwhelming charged lightning about to explode.
Dash glared back with vigilant eyes. He could feel the sudden impulse of congregating energy towards the body of the ma.s.sive bluish wisp. For some reason, Dash"s instinct keeps telling him to flee now.
The clouds have completely turned pitch-black. The air was silent and the atmosphere was eerie. Dash felt like the angels of death are currently smirking on him.
The next attack is probably something that he can"t take.
"The blue elemental fire essence that you have, did that flaming bird gave it to you?" Asked the bluish wisp.
"What about it?" Dash replied coldly.
"Hmp! As I thought. I actually happen to know The Great Seer Mhata. In fact, we are very close to each other that everything you knew about her is most probably completely different from the truth." The wisp could not help but gave a mocking tone in his reply.
"What do you mean? She gave me the essence of the blue fire as a parting gift of my service to her."
"That"s what you thought. Although it is too late for you now since you are still gonna die anyway, let me let you in a little bit of the real ride here..." The wisp"s mocking voice declared, then with a hushed voice, it added,
"Everything that happened, is all because of her."
Dash replied with a doubtful look. Seeing this, the wisp could not help but add in a mocking tone,
"Everything that happened since the past, the death of your past King, the attack in your water elemental realm, the tragedy of the eastern Dragons ten years ago, the mad Ancestral Dragon, you name it! Everything was under her control the entire time. Everything is part of the majesty"s grand plan! Huwahahaaha!~"
"I do know that the great Seer Mhata has the ability to see the future. But I know her! She is a good Lord. And you expect me to believe you!?" Dash beckoned back with anger filling up his beady eyes. Remembering the life-changing help she did for him, he could not help but defend her name.
Dash is a simple turtle, you help him once and he will be a faithful friend forever.
Realizing that talking more about the plan is useless for Dash"s simple mind, the wisp could not care less.
"Beleive me or not, I do not care! Farewell loser!" a mocking voice from the wisp was meant to say goodbye.
"Ultimate Lightning! Waning Flas.h.!.+"
HHHHHKRAAAAKAKAKAAAABOOOOOOM~
And like a dam finally unleashed, thousands of arching lightning bolts crackled out of the ma.s.sive wisp"s body towards the turtle below. The sheer brightness of the attack was good enough to light the whole area, reaching as far as twenty kilometers radius.
The wisp is the Lord of the Lightning elemental realm, an embodiment of the lighting element itself, thus he had the authority to fully unleash every ounce of lightning energy in the whole land.
Dash"s last thoughts as his view were completely covered in blinding light. His body was stuck in place unable to move from the sheer presence of the overwhelming lighting bolts.
He was not a Dragon but why does he felt like he was facing a King Dragon"s ultimate Tribulation of Light?
His thoughts carried him to the memories of him with Elric and everybody else? Those good and hard times. The adventures and the pain they shared together.
"I guess this is it for me huh. I hope I brought you enough time Hugon kid.."
Dash mumbled helplessly as he prepared himself to embrace the painful death by lightning bolts.
As if a bright star has suddenly revealed itself in the middle of the land, a deafening roar of thunder followed forth, sending a heart-stopping shock to all the living beings from every direction.
KRAKAKAKAKABOOOOOOM!~
BOOOM!
BOOM!~
BOOOM!~
Unlike the previous lightning shower, this attack is about a hundred times more powerful than the wisp"s normal attack. It sends reverberations throughout the land while the humans that were too afraid to go out of their hidden bunkers suffered from the aftershocks that reached their fortified bunker.
The old people and weak-hearted unfortunately did not survive the sheer weight of the lightning"s impact and shock wave.
KRUGHGGUGHH~
From the s.p.a.ce, one could see the lightning attack piercing the dark clouds supposedly covering it. The true power of the Lord of the Lightning realm was something not to laugh about.
After all, among all the Elemental Lords, the bluish wisp who is the Lord of the Lightning elemental realm is known to have the most powerful offensive capabilities aside from its physical and elemental invulnerability.
Even the fleeing Dragons who happens to survive Elric"s mad slaughter could feel the vibrations from hundreds of kilometer. The rogue elemental demons like Kapres and Mananangal who were hiding in the thick forests were also extremely afraid of the lightning.
It took a while before the reverberations across the land have finally stopped. The dark clouds have dispersed, revealing the unfortunate mess the terrifying lightning attack left behind. The entire place is now a ma.s.sive crater of about fifty meters deep.
The scorching hot ground continued to blaze as trees, rocks and buildings had been shred into pieces,
Fortunately, the human"s underground bunkers were still kilometers ahead. Nevertheless, few casualties were still made from the sheer impact and shock of the last attack.
Hovering proudly in the sky is now a small-cup sized bluish wisp. Right after unleas.h.i.+ng that ma.s.sive lighting energy, his size has now shrunk to about a hundred times of his previous shape.
It must have been feeling incredibly proud of the destruction it layed waste on human land. But instead of the voice of celebration, its first remark is of disbelief!
"IMPOSSIBLE!"
Dash slowly opened his eyes, still filling numb and blinded from the last blow, he started to realize that some were amiss. Although he was in disarray from the shock, he is still at least sane. He knew he was still alive!
It took some time for Dash to recover his senses and the first thing he saw is a ma.s.sive Dragon standing before him.
It was Elric who came to defend and save his little turtle friend just on time.
It"s ma.s.sive hybrid Eastern and Western Dragon body has been filled by countless b.l.o.o.d.y holes. There also parts where his bones had been fully exposed. Even his tails and Wings had been shredded like pieces of papers.
With a b.l.o.o.d.y face but calm eyes, Elric"s looked back to give a.s.surance to the dumbstruck turtle behind him.
"Sorry, I took too long, Dash. Everything will be alright now."
