63 Auctioned Elric (1/2)
Elric remained calm despite being held as a prisoner in the world of the water elementals. Despite the trouble he has been thru, being a prisoner was a hundred times much better than losing control over your physical body.
He was not able to see the view outside because of the inclosed clamshell, not to mention, it was too tight, dark and smelly inside this shell prison. Knowing that he can't do anything, for now, he decided to use this time to meditate instead.
After a couple of breaths, Elric was able to fall into deep meditation and he was back at the black door again. This black door is the mental representation of the sealed power of the corrupted Ancestral Dragon's Essence.
Elric has finally figured out how to resist the power of corruption by invoking the power of Authority of Fire and engulfing his spiritual essence with it. However, the longer he stayed inside this black door, the more powerful the pressure from the corruption and he was forced to leave away.
If he wants to use the power of the Ancestral Dragon's essence, he needs to enter that Black Door through his mind. But the risk is obvious, the longer he stayed in that room, the more danger he might get stuck in there with a great possibility of losing his sanity that could eventually spill up into the same catastrophe that he did back on the Physical Realm.
”The Authority of Fire is my light in that room, but the essence of corruption was like a floor of ink that crawls to my spirit and gets absorbed. Once I get hold of the Authority of Water, I should be able to use it as a purifying essence that could help me battle the mental corruption.” Elric opened his eyes after such a realization. His eyes reflected a peaceful and mindful state.
All of a sudden, he felt that the shell has stopped moving. Elric knew from the vibration and momentum that the giant Prison Clam was being carried by those two mermen.
THUD!
The huge prison clam was put down to the ground with incredible weight. Quickly it opened its shell and Elric finally was allowed to step out. Slowly, he stepped out of the slimy mouth of the clam and he found himself standing in the middle of a vast royal courtyard.
Casting his look all over him, he realized he was surrounded by noble-looking merfolks that stood with elegance and coldness. Some have curious looks while others are laughing back at him.
Every single one of these merfolks, may it be male or female has outstanding beauty that matches those of the Miss Universe candidate's appearance. Aside from the obvious sharp fangs in their mouths, their looks were something one can behold of.
Hehehe...

So that is human.
Wow, it did resemble us! except for the lower side which was a pair of feet instead.
I can smell delicious meat from that creature.
I think that is not an ordinary human. I have seen one before but this one did not have the same
meat os the other ordinary human.
what do you mean?
I don't know. I just think that this human is much more special. He should taste incredibly delicious! I am getting curious!
Now you are talking! I hope the Lord could let us bite even for just one finger.
Elric could see the sinister gazes of the merfolks around him and hear their hostile intention towards him.
Judging from their actions, Elric realized that these merfolks are the same with humans who act as the apex predator on top of the food chain.
It doesn't matter if what kind of animal it is, may it be endangered species of turtle, tiger, sharks or whales, as long as they have meat, humans would always find ways to have a taste of it. Even if it means, risking the total number of such species.
Elric looked back at these taste-curious merfolks. Despite their resemblance, they don't see Elric as a just a human prisoner but a rare commodity as well.
The two bulky merfolks whos stood guard behind him finally left together with the giant clam. Elric was left behind in the middle of the huge royal courtyard full of golds and colorful gems.
