159 Watch Your Back (2/2)
”You are a just nuisance. As long as you continue to bother me, presenting the Perfect Vessel to the King will only become difficult. Therefore, I will take care of you first. Bug.” The Envoy's figure suddenly expanded and turned into a massive black serpent almost five times the size of the gigantic mech Arkhoz was controlling!
”I am not interested in your creepy Spirituals either. But since you insist wishing to die on my hands, I will be more than happy to do so.” Arkhoz slammed down his massive Beam gun and it reverted back into dual-beam swords! He gripped each of them in his hands and leaped towards the incoming massive black serpent!
In an instant, Elric's enemies started to go against each other instead!
Grabbing the opportunity, Elric decided to do what he must and that is to keep granny Kahayag and his grandma's body-safe, the two eastern Dragon siblings included.
As he flew, he could not help but nod at the sudden changes in the surroundings. The isolation barrier had been shattered so there was not one more cover to protect them from outside detection.
Fortunately, not a single soul can be seen anywhere at the moment. Not even sounds! It was as if the whole city or perhaps the province, has been completely isolated from every human and animal!
”I am grateful those Guardians are pretty quick in doing their job. Any more delay and the surrounding people would have been devoured by that Shadow bastard.” Elric mumbled to himself.
He was quite hesitant a while ago in showing his powers, knowing his real destructive abilities.
As much as possible, he wanted no innocent lives to become collateral damage. He's got enough from his last rampage ten years ago!
The Guardian's effort did not go unnoticed with Elric's expanded senses. He knew pretty much that the reason his enemies were now going all out is that all the other innocent lives had been taken cared for by the Guardians.
True to their mission, they were indeed the Guardians of the Human realm. It was just unfortunate that they haven't made any move to at least assist him.
In less than five seconds, he reached granny Kahayag who actually seems to have gone further away from her previous spot. It seems that they were trying to move away from the battlefield as discreetly as possible and Elric could not help but smile in her initiative.
Seeing they were still saved, Elric heaved a sigh of relief before turning away his face, Elric whispered to granny Kahayag who was under the cover of her own isolation barrier. Keeping her and the Dragon siblings safe from the destruction of the battle while also escaping the enemy's detection.
”Granny, it's getting more dangerous. I need you to escape real quick from this place right.” Elric told Kahayag.
”What do you think I am doing?” Granny Kahayag sounded irritated. Elric could not blame her. Aside from moving as discreet as possible, she must also maintain her spiritual focus and avoid the stray shots fired by Elric's enemy or they would end up as good as dead!
The two siblings, Lesse and Long looked like innocent children who were too traumatized to utter a word. As much as they wanted to ask anything with the hundreds of questions currently clogging their head, they could only delay them for sometimes in the future, if hopefully, they survive today.
If only it was Kahayag alone and the two siblings were not with her, she would have used her ability to fly away real quick. Unfortunately, the enemies Elric currently facing possess speed capable of chasing after them. Not to mention Kahayag's severely weakened state from overexerting herself a while ago.
Once they revealed themselves again, the enemy could use them against Elric. It was out of Kahayag's quick thinking that she quickly decides to leave the fight as quiet and steady as possible under the cover of her isolation barrier, all while Elric was making the two monsters busy with him.
”We will do our best to move out as fast as possible. You go end it real quick too!” Kahayag added.
”I will try. But the enemy seems to be plotting something else. I don't know what it is but my instinct keep telling me to watch my back.” Elric whispered as weakly as possible back to Kahayag.
Frowning, Kahayag said, ”Just focus on the fight. End it as fast as you can. Don't mind us. Go!”
Elric nodded in agreement. His eyes refocused on the two massive figures taking on each other.
”I have to go.” He said as he quickly spread his wings of fire wide.
But just when he was about to fly, when he suddenly felt a stab coming from behind.
”Sh*t.” Elric could only mutter one word before his vision suddenly turned completely dark. He tried to summon his spiritual power but as if he was locked in a dark void, he can't do anything.
His Elemental Authorities have been locked. He can't feel his physical body and even his senses had been isolated.
In his actual body, Elric was lying to the ground with a black, cursed-looking knife lodged in his back.
It was from Kahayag and the knife she had just stabbed Elric with is called the Soul-Sealing Knife.
”I am sorry Elric. I hope you will forgive me. Trust me, I am doing this for us all.” Kahayag said as she finally broke out of the isolated barrier, revealing herself to the detection of the two monsters battling outside.
Kahayag casually glanced behind her, looking at the shaking faces of Lesse and Long. With a wave of her hand, a spiritual shock knocked both of them as if their soul was getting sapped out of their body.
Elric, Lesse, and Long were left unconscious beneath Kahayag's feet, wearing an ever determined eye.
