59 Reflecting Rock (1/2)

Elric entered the huge dark circle gate to the land of the Water Elemental. The guardians this time was not as welcoming as before compared to the guardians of the Fire Elemental world. This only goes to show that the lord of the Water Elemental has a hostile treatment of Elric.

It took Elric quite a few hours traveling across the huge hole. Despite going through at an incredible speed, the coral-decorated tunnel felt like an endless journey when he finally stumbled to a dead end.

Looking from afar, Elric could see a little turtle facing him with an angry look on his small face.

”You hugon! How dare are you to throw me away like that and, what's taking you so long? If not for Great Seer Matha's command, I would have just left you alone long ago.” OMG Dash bellowed.

”I am sorry OMG Dash, I just don't want you to get hurt from that battle.”

Elric decided to throw Dash away from him because he doesn't want the little turtle to get hurt with his fire nor getting electrocuted by those Eels. Knowing that the little turtle is only there to help him, he would do his best to keep Dash safe as long as he can.

While the little turtle continued to complain of how he was treated, Elric continued moving closer and halted before the dead end.

Turns out, the end of the long tunnel entrance was a hard shining blue rock. And with a frown on his face, Elric asked the mumbling little turtle.

”This is weird, the rock blocking it doesn't have the same texture as the rocks in the wall. Could it be..”

”Yes, you are right. Someone blocked our path with this huge stone. The last time I passed through this passage, this blockage was nowhere to be seen. It seems like this is freshly installed here.” OMG Dash confirmed Elric's suspension. It seems that the Water Elemental Lord despised him to the point that they went as far as blocking the only entrance to his kingdom.

”How about we break it by force?” Elric asked.

”No can do.”
