50 Hostile Flames (2/2)
And with a quick jump, the small turtle reverted to its usual gargantuan size. The Great Seer's palace was massive and was big enough for the giant turtle to move safely.
Elric still hesitated to ride the huge turtle as he still had questions unanswered. He scanned back the palace for any possible signs of the mysterious Great Seer.
”The Great Seer is someone you can't meet that easy. She comes and goes to any dimension that she wants and has a lot of things to do so don't expect her to see you off hugon kid.”
Hearing this, Elric finally gave up and took his leave atop the giant turtle's back.
With a proud and excited voice, the turtle suddenly bellowed, ”Our next stop, the world of the Water Elemental -Tugbi!.”
Elric's gaze swiftly locked at the giant blue moon before him. For some reason, looking at this small planet gave him unexpected pressure.
”Water, earth, air, and lightning. I have now the essence of the Fire Authority and just need the last four.” Elric murmured when suddenly the giant turtle's head extended to grab him by his mouth.
Elric was surprised at the giant turtle's sudden attack and failed to dodge right away. With a powerful swing of the turtle's neck, Elric was flung straight back at the land of the Fire Elementals at a blazing speed.
BOOOOM!~
Thank's to Elric's half-dragon body, he managed to survive the impact of this fall.
”Ouch...why you traitor..” Elric came out from the deep rubble of red rocks. Thank's to his newfound mental control, he was able to remain calm and looked at the giant turtle.
”The first test starts now Hugon. If you want to get to the land of the Water Elemental, do it by yourself!” With these words, the Giant turtle swung his cute scaly tail and paddled swiftly like a mad turtle. Despite its awkward paddling in the air, the speed it flew was not something to underestimate. Perhaps, he was quite faster than a regular private jet.
”As expected, there are tests to reach there..” Elric could only stand up slowly from the rubble when his dragon senses suddenly warned him. ”I forgot about this...”
A hoard of fire elementals is crazily moving closer to him like wild animals attracted to the scent of the delicious meat. They all varied in different colors, red, blue-yellow, and sometimes green-colored flame elementals are among these incoming creatures.
Elric remembered how hungry these creatures are when it comes to something combustible. It was only thanks to the water ability of the cocky giant turtle that he was able to survive the first threat.
Elric glanced at the fleeing turtle and it doesn't seem to have any plans in saving him. Rather, it continued to waggle its little tails awkwardly seemingly trying to annoy him.
Glancing back to the incoming fire elementals, Elric took a deep sigh as he decided to run to a safer location. He was pretty much confident with his current body where the might blood of the dragon flows.
His senses are extraordinary and his body doesn't seem to grow tired despite how far he ran.
”Let's see if I can lose these fire boys first and think of a plan later.”
If it was his old weak and normal self, Elric could have been easily consumed by the fire elemental but with his current state, he knew he still has a chance to leave this planet.
He ran and ran tirelessly for a quite a while across the vast red planet of Fire elementals while the purple sky and massive moons decorated his background.
Realizing that he doesn't seem to shrug the fire elementals chasing him, Elric wished that he has wings to leave the cursed planet.
”Wings...I need wings.” With a thought, Elric's dragon blood started to pump and his body underwent a visible transformation. Slowly, his bones moved and bulged creepily at his back.
