ELECTUS

Chapter 9

Flying tens of feet above the ground. Eric feels the power pumping through his veins. Or his feet. Either point of view is acceptable. That fire burst gifted Eric with much needed courage. The moment he reached tens of feet above the ground, he spread his arms wide open, started spinning and fire came out of palms.

The fire didn"t take time to explode in size. Spiraling quicky in a blink of an eye it transformed into a tornado like form. A tornado made out of fire. what a terrifying view to witness no doubt.

Eric stopped blasting fire out of his feet, joined his palms together where each finger of his hands touched each other. Much like a clap, without actually doing a hard clap that is.

He started falling down from the sky, straight towards the Fire Tornado he just created. But as he goes down near the edge of the Tornado, in seconds he splits the Tornado in half. Imagine a Tornado being split vertically in half like a fruit tart. That"s how he split the tornado with his current hand positioning.

He lightly fell on the ground as if angels carried him down, afterwards using the tornado he split in two. Controlling it like he grabbed a bull by the horns and knocked him down.

The raging fire is completely under his control and as he disconnected his palms and moved his hands down and bent his knees a bit, making the two former Tornado pieces separate further from each other, reach the ground and quickly deform in to wild usual fire. After that he moved his hands forward and placed them on the ground

Much like a bear breaking down a tree from along with the root.

And the fire followed shortly after, flew at rapid speed over his shoulders heading towards the ill.u.s.tratio Guards. That fire burned over a hundred ill.u.s.tratio guards in seconds. It didn"t just burn them. It obliderated them. It completely dismembered their bodies.

You would think there would be ashes and dust. He burned those as well. He burned every living creature to be seen on that main road leading to the main gate. Except one.

One ill.u.s.tratio. This one didn"t seem to be a ordinary guard. Not at all. That extreme fire Eric released couldn"t burn that man. Or was he a man? Because no average being could withstand such heat without paris.h.i.+ng. Is he a man or is he not? At that moment it was hard to tell.

In a split second that man who seemed to be almost a hundred yards away was in front of Eric now. Looking eye to eye or dare i say "eyes to eye. Eric was full of rage and the creature with a straight reactionless face.

Which was exceptional because that man"s face was burned. Only one of his eyes seems to function, his lips were burned and full of scars. His nose seems to be completely cut off. And he didn"t have hair on his head. Burn marks followed his head from one edge to the other. His head basically looked like a chunk of coal.

Eric didn"t hold back. He didn"t even bother talking. He continued to blast fire out of his hands. Slapping much like a bear he kept throwing left and right slaps. Or dare i say


"fire slaps."

Those fire strikes seemed to light houses behind the burned man on fire but Eric"s target remained untouched by any of Eric"s attacks.

Eric stopped shooting and asked

"Who are you?"

The oddly overpowered creature said

"Your superior."

Eric replied with

"I burned half of your army. Give up or i will find a way to burn you hard enough for your ancestors to feel the heat."

The odd creature replies with a cold low voice

"Quite foolish of you to think that this is my entire army. I control everything. This land, these people, creatures beyond your reach or beyond your wildest imaginations. I am invincable. I am your superior. You may go now dog but we will meet again. I will be watching you."

After that, the creature disappears in a blink of an eye. Like he vanished completely. Deleted from existence. Snap!! Just like that.

As the creature disappeared, so did the fire Eric lighted when he kept throwing shots but kept missing his target and hitting houses instead.

Eric turned to Mogranius and said

"How is this possible? Who was this man? Is he even a man?"

Mogranius replies with

"He is a man. In Fact he remembers me of my past adventures. Adventures with Akareas that is. This man was Electus level powerful. I have no idea how he got all this power but it is not normal at all. His fire powers clearly outcompete mine. And i had a lifetime of training."

Eric replies with

"Whoever he is we will figure out. But for now lets escape this h.e.l.lhole."

Eric grabs Stefan and takes off of the ground and heads towards the sky. Mogranius grabs Woldemir and follows shortly after.

As soon as they hit the sky, ill.u.s.tratio arches and spearmen did not miss the chance to try to shoot them down. Eric is flying above those spears and arrows who are seconds away from reaching Eric.

Behind Eric was Mogranius who blasts fire out of his mouth which reaches the arrows and spears right away and burns off the sharp tips before they even reach Eric.

All what is left from that first round of shots are empty sticks of wood set lightly on fire. Not a threat but neither of the gang wants their hair on fire either.

The first round of shots were nothing compared to the second.

Tens of Catapults appeared on the scene. And if that wasn"t enough the Archers and Spearmen continued to shot their weapons.

This situation was exactly like a two men versus a army situation. Eric and Mogranius kept flying higher hoping to fly away from danger, but it wasn"t nearly enough to outfly the danger approaching them.

Eric saw that this situation is hard to fly out off. Not hard but almost impossible. Almost.

Due to the intense situation, Eric"s eyes light up in to a fire like way. LIke they did when he battled the black wolves back in the woods.

This fire in his eyes forced in from the situation covered with death facing bravery but deep inside it was covered with fear. Fear to loose his loved ones once more, like his mother. He faced the situation which no other man would dare to face.

Eric threw Stefan on the air a bit, bursted out fire out of his hand which shortly transformed and shaped much like a bear claw. With that claw he catched Stefan and without waiting long he threw Stefan far far away.

Stefan was set on fire just a little bit but he was flying towards the sky so fast that the back part of his clothes that caught on fire a second earlier, got shut down. The fire got shut down but Stefan"s speed wasn"t.

While Mogranius kept flying towards the sky, Eric stopped on mid air. He turned upside down, opened his arms wide and spiraled on the spot blasting fire out of his palms and forming yet another tornado. An upside down tornado that is.

This tornado sucked in ammonation shot by the ill.u.s.tratios like a sponge. If the shots were out of the Tornado"s physical reach, the Tornado sucked it in and blasted it downwards, making the ammunition hit the ill.u.s.tratio ran kingdom. He used their weapons against them.

Whatever weapon escaped the downwards attack, entered in the Tornado and didn"t reach the other end.

Without waiting for the ill.u.s.tratio to shoot the third round Eric stopped spinning, turned right side up and with a downward hand moving pose he made the inverted Tornado fly in lighting speed towards Crutal Kingdom.

When the fire Tornado met the ground it spread around everywhere. Transforming to a shape much like a large piece of wheat dough falling from a medium distance. As satisfying it was to see, it was beyond equally as dangerous.

Apart from burning ¼ of the Kingdom, it caused a earthquake. Enough to shake the entire Kingdom hard enough to leave the ill.u.s.tratio stunned for a few seconds.

While the ill.u.s.tratio used tens of seconds to a.n.a.lyze what just happened, Eric headed towards the sky.

Shortly after Eric saw Stefan falling down from the sky and screaming at a high pitched voice. Much like a lady.

Fortunately Eric catched him and the gang flied away from the Crutal Kingdom, leaving the fruits and vegetables behind.

After an our or so of flying, they seem to have escaped the ill.u.s.tratio"s view and succesfully hid from them. They landed on the woods where no ill.u.s.tratio or other race could see them. The only people who could discover them would be pa.s.sing animal hunters. But they are rare to see.

Woldemir said

"We just escaped an insane situation in one piece. Is everyone alright?"

Stefan replies with

"Apart from the fact that Eric tossed me far far off of the ground, i"m alright. I handled it perfectly."

Mogranius replies

"Of course you did, we could tell by your high pitched voice when you were falling down. But still you showed great bravery. You left everything behind to join us. There is fight in you. I can sense a brave warrior in you urging to fight for what"s right. I sense that spirit in you. Instead of kissing the clearly superior ill.u.s.tratio"s boots, you broke free."

Stefan replies with

"Well it definitely wasn"t easy to leave everything behind like that. I worked for what i had my entire life. But someone has to step up and fight. I can"t wait for a miracle to happen.

But it actually did. Eric, the fire power you unleashed back there was astonis.h.i.+ng. I never thought that i would have the opportunity to witness such raw earth trembling power. You give me hope kid."
