138 Elric Unleashed (1/2)

Elric fell as he felt the overwhelming divine presence of these winged beings floating above.

Their figure emitted not just an incredibly holy aura but a natural absolute dominance over him and everybody and everything! And with ist is an unshakable feeling that everything that happened in Elric's life is all under the complete control of the Highest being whom those Angels worked for.

That fateful night that started with a flash of lightning, his acceptance to the offer of the Ancestral Dragon, the rampage that he dealt after and probably his journey to the Elemental realm was under the watchful gazes of this magnificent heavenly beings.

But what for?

Elric deeply realized that all the sufferings and loneliness he had experienced were all parts of the road prepared for him. The death of his loved ones, the different people and creatures he met along the way. The countless fights and laughs and goodbyes. Everything is under their watchful gazes.

He was never alone. Elric had been enlightened that whatever happened to his life, they were all part of the roads he had to take and that they are all just going to pass. The sadness and happiness they were all temporary.

That no matter how strong or powerful he could get, they will all pass; not to mention the unseen beings who are more powerful or on a completely different realm than he is. That no matter what he had reached, no matter how he evolved; he should never boast. Cause all it takes is a simple nudge from these creatures and he could be a goner.

While Elric was immersed in the wonderful truths and enlightenment that had continued to push his spirit into a surging breakthrough, the figure of Lapu-Lapu and Kahayag remained standing before him with wide smiles in their faces.

\”Look how powerful this descendant of yours had become.\” Kahayag turned to Lapu-Lapu with a hint of pride glimmering in her eyes.

\”It's ours. Not just mine but ours. Your Spiritual Bloodline and my Naturally gifted blood flow together in his veins.\” Lapu-Lapu replied proudly. His wrinkled face reflected the faint bluish light that Elric emitted as his spiritual power continued to transform.

\”Combined with the Dragon blood in his system, this kid just turned to be the first and only Human-Elemental-Spiritual-Dragon creature that the world can offer. And I can confidently say, that this kid is indeed fated to unite all races from a different dimension. If he doesn't fail, his power will only continue to reach even higher in the future and only the Higher ones know what's ahead of him.\” Lapu-Lapu added with a deep frown on his head...

\”But that also means...\” Kahayag frowned upon a realization dawned in her mind.

\”The world is changing, and every single plate of fate will go around Elric's life. How he will overcome this up to him. His simple-minded thinking will not work anymore. I am pretty sure, there will be a great chance not just in his spiritual consciousness but in his personality as well.\”

Suddenly, the fighting background behind Elric has collapsed into a flash of bright light. The Plane of the Heavenly Void collapsed and the last fragment of Lapu-Lapu's soul dissipated along with the \”scene of the past\”.

A final word came out of his mouth as his dissolving figure held Kahayag's hand for the last time.

\”Listen Kahayag. You know me, and I have an overbearing pride and I hate it when I ask for favors to another person especially if it was supposed to be my job. But unlike an immortal being like you, I am still, after all, a human and thus, have a limited lifespan.\” A pained pair of eyes from Lapu-Lapu stared straight to Kahayag's beautiful dark eyes.

\”Don't worry. I know what to do.\” Kahayag replied with a comforting smile.

\”Elric has reached the state of United Realm and the real enemies are finally going to reveal themselves to take over him. I now place the fate of our final descendant in your hand my dear most beautiful wife.\” Lapu-Lapu added humbly.

\”Now you're talking. You never called me beautiful when you are still alive except when you ask me to scratch your back.\” Kahayag mocked.

\”This fragment of my consciousness is finally going back to the universe together with my beautiful memories... Oh, how I wish I could kiss you for the last time.\”

\”Oh, I thought you had enough with your hundreds of wife...\”

\”Oh, you were different... Just different.\”

And with these words, Lapu-Lapu's last remaining soul fragment that was hidden deep in the Plane of the Heavenly void inside Elric has finally disappeared.

The final gift of Lapu-Lapu, Elric's great-great Ancestor has been activated. The blood of the Warrior has started moving. His purpose is done and Elric's true powers and personality have been unleashed.

The show has finally started as Elric finally opened his eyes back in the real present human realm.

He was back in the kitchen, sitting before the smiling figure of Kahayag.
