85 Last Reward (1/2)
”I am just kidding. Hahaha!” seeing that Elric was preparing himself to fight, the great King Mahar exploded in laughter, revealing his teasing side.
”Father is still the same.”
”True. hehe”
”I thought he was gonna punish the human!”
The three princesses sighed after remembering their father's habit of teasing.
”Aghus was a good and powerful merman, perhaps, he was blessed with the best potential to become the new Lord. However, his heart was corrupted with greed and power. He has oppressed my people and even destroyed the peace we had been living for a generations. I know the battle that was to happen will be disastrous and that is why I have come prepared with my last power to serve my people.” Inhaling deeply, he started glowing in blue light.
Suddenly, the great King waved his hands and wave of comforting blue light washed all over across the land of the water realm.
”What is this?”
”My injuries are healing?”
”Long live the great King Mahar!”
”Long live his royal line!”
Everything the blue light touches heals. Even those who have been killed are slowly recomposing their bodies and healed in a visible state.
”Mother! Father!”
”Our baby!”
”Commander! You are alive!?? Hahahaha!
”This is a miracle!”
”I am alive! I am aliiiiive!”
”I am pretty sure I had been dead from the giant coral monster's mouth. What exactly happened?.”
”Pwe! There is too much sand in my mouth! Well, it doesn't matter! I am alive!”
”We owe our life to the great King Mahar!”
”Looking at the vast world of the water realm, I have long predicted that sacrifices will be done against his rule. He was so desperate to obtain the Authority from me that he chooses to side with The Outside.” Long after casting his healing wave, King Mahar's appearance greatly fainted. He became so transparent that people could not almost see him.
”The Outside?” Elric asked in clarification about the certain group whom the last ruler conspired with.
”They are an elusive group of powerful corrupted elementals, humans or other creatures that had pledged to the destruction of their races.”
”Sound's like a classic villain. Couldn't get any more cliche?” Elric replied with a confident smile.
