83 Corruption against Authority Of Water (2/2)

”Hugon kid, what happened to you?” The little turtle asked anxiously.

”Princesses stay back!” some royal guards assigned to protect the princesses also felt the sudden change in Elric's aura and hastily came forward to protect the last remaining children of the late King Mahar. Their golden spear all pointed to the kneeling Elric who is gasping for air with his eyes closed.

Their eyes are locked at him with hostile glares. However, they also felt conflicted knowing that the human before them is not someone you can just pierce like a normal person. This man just single-handedly defeated their previous lord. What good could their golden spears do?

Elric's physical body shook at the sheer pressure by the sudden burst of corruption's resistance upon meeting the Authority of water in his soul space. His brows tightly knitted together and his hand clasped tightly with bulging veins all over. He is fighting back the sudden power of the corruption.

Cleanse!

Driving his will with the flow of the cleansing water, Elric controlled the Authority of water to wash the expanding dark stains in his body.

Ksssss~

Like acid, the dark corruption reacted against the cleansing water and slowly dissipated into clear white mist, evaporating away from him.

”It's working! I can feel the burden slowly lifting!”

Elric felt ecstatic as he had managed to stop the expansion of the dark spots and he slowly regained his mental awareness again. With greater vigor, he controlled the cleansing water to wash over his mental body and the dark creepy spots reacted like sticky dirt finally meeting its cleaning match.

Ksss~ Ksss~ Ksssss~

Elric has managed to wipe clean almost 90% of the dark spots. However, there are parts that are also quickly recovering just as they had been removed. Like a speck of black dust the blows to his body right after he just wiped it clean. It was a persistent one.

Realizing that he can't remove the corruption completely, Elric decided to settle for what he is capable of now.

With the addition of the authority of water to cleanse his mental body, Elric felt good knowing that he should be able to use 20% of the power of the Ancestral Dragon. Stepping out of his immersion, Elric opened his eyes slowly and he saw the beautiful land of the Water Elemental realm greeting his view again.

”Two elements down, three to go.” Elric smiled with satisfaction and looked at the people behind him.

”Huh?”Why are you guys looking at me like that?” Elric could not help but become curious from their gaping mouth. The princesses, the guards, and even the little turtle looked at Elric with shock itched in their funny faces.

The little turtle could not hold himself anymore and asked Elric,

”Tell me honestly. Who are you?”
