ROOOOOOOAR!~Lesse"s painful roar echoed across the vast black sea as her long and ma.s.sive body slowly crumpled down at the presence of the pure fire of the Great Seer Mhata.
Before her is the helpless screaming Long, who had been squirming with all his might, trying to break out of the indestructible chain of light.
A strong smell of burnt meat and Dragon essence as the fire continues to scorch her body from the outside, breaking down the elegant red and bluish scales particular only to the royal blooded Dragons of the past Eastern Region race. The fact that her Dragon body has outstanding natural healing ability allowed the painful struggle to even last longer.
It was the only time when Lesse and Long cursed their own natural healing ability.
Unfortunately, the Great Seer Mhata, does not seem to be intending to finish Lesse right away, she safely controlled the fire to not completely destroy her right away, but slowly and surely burn them to prolong the intense scent of the royal Dragon which is the only way to call the attention of the G.o.d of Dimensional Realms which is the immeasurable black giant serpent before them.
"I will keep the summoning ritual, now do your thing," Mhata informed Kahayag as the pure red fire flowing out of her arms reached a stable state - delaying the inevitable death and suffering of the Eastern Dragon Queen.
Seemingly enjoying the powerful scent of the sacrificial Dragon, the G.o.d of Dimensional Realms, moved closer as the swirling eyes that resembled a small black hole release a domineering pressure among all the smaller figure below.
Seeing the legendary creature itching closer towards them, the rest of the figure bowed their heads in respect to the G.o.d of Dimensional Realms.
The only being who has the power to freely move in between all the dimensions, capable of taming the destructive lightning of Toray and bypa.s.sing the supposed to be unbreakable barriers that protect the different dimensional realms.
"We are thankful for your presence to our sudden call to you, the legendary Thagroz." Kahayag bowed down as she and the rest of her company bowed down before the legendary beast before them.
Gazing at the squirming Lesse under the slow cook of the devouring red fire, Thagroz"s black hole eyes slowly expanded and revealed a dark red hue.
"What a fine scent of the meat you brought me," Thagroz said in an imposing manner.
"We hope you liked our present. It is a fresh and virgin Queen Dragon of the now-extinct species of Eastern Dragons. We believe you deserve the best of all the meat in the whole realms, of legendary Thagroz." Kahayag replied in a flattering voice.
"However, do you think that is enough to satisfy me?" The deep and domineering voice of Thagroz followed.
Hearing this, Kahayag and the rest of her company smiled confidently. Slowly, she stood up and waved her hand as Long"s restrained figure swiftly raised and was soon placed on the same solid pedestal.
The moment the slow red pure fire in Lesse"s body made contact with Long"s, it swiftly expanded and covered the latter"s body like fuel being lit.
GRRROAAR!~
GROOAOOOAHR!~
Now, there are two loud Dragons squirming and flailing their long Eastern Dragon bodies in slow and undescribable pain.
"I know you were gonna say that. That is why we prepared another one. This time is a fresh King Eastern Dragon and, the last of his kind as well." Kahayag introduced with fresh and exciting energy.
"All of these we have done in hopes of you granting us one favor," Kahayag added with a faint pleading voice.
"Speak," Thagroz replied nonchalantly.
Now, with two Dragons slowly being barbecued in front of the Legendary Beast, Kahayag revealed a victorious smile.
"All we asked of you great and mighty G.o.dly Beast of the Dimensional realms is for you to create a gateway for us from the Realm of Darkness to the Elemental Realm."
Hearing this, Thagdoz stopped moving for a moment. Its blackhole face made it extremely hard for them to read its mood, but they were confident that they would be able to win this favor.
"By creating a tunnel from the Realm of Darkness and to here; perhaps, do you want me to break the natural balance of the dimensional realms?"
Kahayag turned around to look at the smiling face of the Great Seer Mhata. Her fiery red eyes are glowing intensely while giving Kahayag an a.s.sured look.
Kahayag replied with a voice of utmost respect.
"We do not wish to break the balance for that will be against your will oh great Beast. What we are aiming for is the unity and stability for those dimensional realms."
"Unity and stability? By sending over the shadows here, are you intending to have the Emperor of the Dark Realm to take over this entire realm? You are fine with that G.o.d of the Elemental Realm?"
Thagdoz said in his usual domineering voice, only he is now referring his question to the seemingly powerless G.o.d of the Elemental Realm who is standing silently behind the Great Seer Mhata and her company.
Before answering to the legendary beast, the Elemental G.o.d first bowed down in respect before facing it.
"As you have probably witnessed, the balance of this realm has long been in danger ever since the arrival of the human with the Corrupted Ancestral Dragon. It was me who personally asked for the emperor"s help in order to deal with the situation. Considering that even the Guardians and the mighty Dragons on the Human realm is not even in a match against this abomination, I now seek your understanding for this simple favor.."
"Do you take me for a fool?" Thagdoz quickly replied with a hint of coldness. This time, the swirling black hole in its ma.s.sive face suddenly grew larger and a powerful gravitational fluctuation can be felt among the nearby figures.
With its eyes locked at the beautiful figure of the Great Seer Mhata, Thagdoz replied,
"Do you think I do not know what you are up to? Everything of these is all according to that witch"s plan! Do you really think I will just accept your plead like that?"
Now looking at the two squirming Dragons on the slow cook, Thagdoz"s voice further erupted.
"And what is with this so-called best meat!? Do you really think I am dumb!? The best meat out there at the moment is that of the Corrupted Ancestral Dragon!"
With a hint of panic in her voice, Kahayag looked behind her to ask for the Great Seer Mhata"s guidance only to see the latter still wearing that confident smile as before.
There is no more questions to be asked. She decided to trust the guidance of Mhata.
Just when Kahayag was about to speak, the domineering voice of the legendary beast before her suddenly came with a request.
"How about let us make a deal. I will grant you the tunnel from the Realm of Darkness and here. In return, you must bring me that Dragon called Elric as payment and..."
Just when Thagdoz was about to continue, an confident voice of the Great Seer Mhata suddenly came from behind.
"Actually, you do not have to wait oh legendary beast. The Dragon you wanted will be coming in the next ten seconds to save the two Eastern Dragons."
Hearing this, Thagdoz replied, "Oh, is he? Did you "saw" his coming? Is it why you secured these two?"
Kahayag, on the other hand, still a little confused. This was not part of the given speech!
"Indeed as you said great Thagdoz, the real reason we brought those small fishes here, is to present to you the white whale you have been craving for. In behold..." The Great Seer Mhata"s confident reply followed as she pointed her hand just below the wide pedestal floating in the black water.
"You just relax oh great Thagdoz and let us catch the fish for you."
With her eyes burning red, the Great Seer Mhata smiled as she signaled the Elemental Lords beside her.
"Two seconds before they appear from below the pedestal."
"Leave it to us." replied the blond-haired elf as the rest of the group"s members sprinted towards the stone pedestal in their own elemental fas.h.i.+on.
Huyop, the Lord of the wind elemental realm, sprinted into a gust of wind.
Sulog, the bluish merman dived to the black water and completely disappeared, his body has now blended perfectly as a part of the black water.
Gahi, the dwarf Lord of the Earth Elemental realm, simply controlled the earth below its feet as if he was sliding in ice effortlessly. Without even lifting his foot while his hand is cupped behind his back, he managed to reach the stone pedestal in a blink of an eye.
The little white wisp on the other hand simply soared high before dissipating like a droplet hitting solid ground. In the next moment, swiftly covering the whole sky is a pitch-black cloud. A powerful lightning charge started to acc.u.mulate on this ma.s.sive black clouds as if a powerful storm is ready to unleash its wrath anytime.
The Elemental Lords are all prepared to catch Elric from all directions the moment he appears.
"The preparations are complete. Elric, you lost!" The Great Seer Mhata smiled excitedly as a small dimensional portal swiftly opened discreetly below the stone pedestal.
"As expected." The Great Seer Mhata confidently thought before a frown unexpectedly followed in her beautiful fiery eyes.
"Wait.. you!?"
