The great whale immediately reacted unhesitatingly and slammed against the crowd of zombified merfolks and water creatures. With its ma.s.sive body, it was able to shove away the relentless attacks of the merfolks and various sea creatures thanks to its golden armor.The scene reminded Elric of a single giant beetle shoving its way forcefully against the crown of thousand tiny ants.
"Sister Danna, Thank you! you were right just on time! huhu, " Diana hugged her eldest sister tightly with gladness and she could not help but cry a few tears.
"No big deal, it is my responsibility to make sure that we leave this cursed place safe." Donna followed up while patting Diana"s head and added: "You were so brave back there. Father would have been very proud of you."
A hint of sadness, longing, and tears slowly crept in the atmosphere of the three comforting beautiful sisters. While moving away from the City of Aghus, the giant whale forced its way out from Aghus"s zombie army while being backed up by a speeding dolphin, a stinging jellyfish and a giant turtle that relentlessly spewed destruction wherever his black pearl hits.
"I still don"t understand. Why do we have to risk our lives saving a weak human?" Donna, the second princess suddenly complained.
"It was the father"s dying wish that we must save his, sister." Diana reminded.
"I know. But just look at him! He may look a little handsome but he is still a weakling!"

"I heard he has dragon blood in him." Danna inquired.
"Is that it? We can just sneak into the human realm and catch a few ones if that is the case. I still don"t understand why we have to go through all the trouble! Our family is down to the last three of us and we still have to come back to this G.o.dforsaken place just to save a mere human!"
"sister..." Diana was not able to answer her anymore. Danna, the eldest and the quite one of all three remained on guard at the front. She may have questions herself but she has better control over her emotions and choose to trust her father"s dying wish.
After all, Lord Mahar, their father, is a wise and respectable Lord of the Water Elemental Realm for thousands of years. If it wasn"t for that sudden unexpected accident in the Dark Trench, they should have still enjoyed a rich and peaceful life as princes of the Water Realms.
Donna vented out all her anger and complains as she could not help but be discouraged at the human before her. For her, Elric is just an ordinary human aside from the dragon blood flowing in him. Seeing Elric"s eyes that lacks power and fury, she could not help but prejudice him with weakness and unreliability.
Perhaps, their father made a mistake? Or should we just risk it all for this man? Donna could still remember her father"s last words clearly in her mind.
"A time will come that a human with dragon"s blood will arrive in our kingdom. Treat him well and protect him with everything we"ve got, for that human, will be the last hope of our realm." And with these last words, her father"s body dissipated into clear white sand that scattered into the dark coldness of the water realm.
Following the power hierarchy, it was Aghus, despite his vile nature, that came to possess the power closest to Lord Mahar and was automatically hailed as the next Lord to dominate the Water Elemental Realm, however, he soon turned the world of the Water Realm into his unruly control and greed. Changing priorities from moral integrity to power and golden pearls!
Not minding the thoughts of the princess behind him, Elric is now standing safe at the back of the great whale, He observed everything with his sharp eyes and soon found the crux of the trouble.
"Sigh..." s.h.i.+fting his facial emotion from curiosity to one with a resolute face, his body started to conjure fire in his hands. Immediately, the three princess mermaids noticed Elric"s blazing hand and stepped hurriedly stepped back with caution and surprise in their eyes.
They have not a pinch of the idea that Elric, just like the Great Seer Mhata of the fire elemental realm, possesses the power of absolute control of fire element - the Authority of Fire!
Seeing that his zombie merfolks are not working to stop the fleeing intruders, Aghus hastily stopped his chants and changed his form. This time, he is planning to move the entire geographical state of the whole city and use it to crush Elric and his saviors.
Touching the ground with his bluish scaly hands, a magical formation started to flow across the entire coral city to flex the beautiful coral land and use it to bury them down - all without minding the number of casualties of his people!
Aghus"s mouth moved rapidly as he was about to finish his ritual and a savage smile covered his entire face. His eyes grew with insanity and his bulging veins twitched in magical pressure!
"That human is mine! Huwahahahahaha!" Aghus laughed maniacally as he summoned every bit of his power and released it all at once!
And with a sudden upward swipe of his hands, the coral city lunged upwards, creating ma.s.sive quakes and destruction along the way like a sheet of paper being lunged in the air!
The coral city rose from the ground like a mountain-sized wave aiming to stop and bury the fleeing whale covered in gold! All while not minding the damage it can incur to his people!
For Aghus, Elric"s blood and meat are just a commodity worth more than the value of thousand mere folks, buildings, and water creatures and he truly believes that such sacrifice is necessary.
All along, he made an announcement declaring a certain human with special dragon blood will be available for n.o.bles of his kingdom as a chance for a breakthrough. Therefore, he pretended to host an auction also to get as much as many golden pearls as a supplemental aid in his breakthrough after consuming Elric!
The body parts being auctioned was just his trap to force the n.o.bles to squeeze every ounce of their golden pearls from their respective golden pearl farms and kill them all on the spot.
Once he breakthrough his next level, his words shall be the absolute law and no one of the creatures of the water elemental realm could stand against him!
At the same time, the legacy of Lord Mahar will be erased from his record alone! For Aghus, Elric was the blessing sent by heaven that he has been waiting for thousands of years!
A drop of royal dragon blood could induce miraculous effects for ordinary humans turning them into extraordinary people with otherworldly strength and vitality! Imagine its effects on consuming the whole blood and body?
