165 Her True Intention (1/2)
A minute before Long and Lesse charged to save Elric from the cursed blade, Kahayag was also in contact with the Envoy via astral communication.
Kahayag was not just a fine warrior but a smart one as well. She knew pretty much the weakness of the cursed knife and seeing that the two dragons are about to push for a breakthrough, she also realized the possible move that they can grab.
She knew that the Tribulation of Light contains the power of heaven and its purifying attribute as well. Basically speaking, if the two eastern Dragons are not dumb, they could grab that opportunity to channel the lightning from the Tribulation and dispel the soul locking curse that had been holding Elric back.
Knowing the possibility of such a problem, Kahayag made sure to count each second ever since the dark clouds started to appear. Witnessing a Dragon doing a tribulation is obviously not a new thing to her considering her actual age and experience; thus giving her the idea of what will obviously happen next.
”hehehe...”
A wicked smile slowly curved in her face. An idea popped out and she could not help but giggle a little.
Then, she discreetly sends the Envoy a message and the latter suddenly sprang up in agitation.
”Are you sure about that?” The Envoy asked excitedly.
”Yes. As long as you can hold them off even for just five seconds, those Dragons are as good as yours.” Kahayag replied with a mischievous smile.
”Then leave that to me.”
***
”Hahahaha! Fools!” Kahayag laughed sinisterly as she watched the massive Shadow devoured the two Dragons whole.
They were just a few meters upon reaching Elric when the Shadow suddenly emerged out from the ground and swallowed the unsuspecting Dragon.
”What now!? These Dragons are too powerful! I can't hold them much longer!” The Envoy quickly asked as he struggled to contain the two Dragons inside him. From the outside, one could see the Envoy's massive dark body continued to expand and bloat like a pufferfish!
ROAAR!~
ROOAAAR!~
The Dragons inside him are fighting back!
BOOOM!
BOOM! BOOOM!~
Lesse and Long were caught off guard by the Envoy, but it doesn't mean they don't have the means to fight back. With the strength just inches away from the King Dragon's level, even if they are facing the empowered Envoy, Dragons are still not something a mere dark Spiritual can take on.
BOOOM!~
BOOM BOOM!~
From the outside, Kahayag could see the Shadow's body bloating up wildly with bright flashes exploding from the inside. It was the powerful explosion of fire from the Dragon's attack!
”Hurry!” The Envoy shouted at Kahayag as he struggled to maintain his body from exploding from the boiling of explosions inside.
Then, with a wicked smile, Kahayag suddenly chanted mysterious words in rapid succession while her hands drew weird signs in the air.
The Envoy saw Kahayag's movement and could not help but frown in confusion.
”What are you doing!?”
But the next time the Envoy realized was a glowing magical inscription flowed out of Kahayag's feet and scattered across, it ultimately formed a large circle covering the entire area that looked like a magical summoning circle.
”Wait.. this is-”
KRAAKAAAAABOOOOM!!!!~
And the Tribulation had finally roared from the sky, sending down a concentrated rain of lightning and reaching the ground before the Envoy would know it.
Elric's body was protected by a layer of magical barrier from Kahayag, while the rest of the outside were exposed to the full brunt of the Tribulation of Light.
BOOOOOOOM!~KRAAAAAKABOOOM!
Unlike the Tribulation of Light for the Elder Dragons, the heaven's challenge for those who dare to ascend to the King's level had to face more strikes containing the power about a hundred times of its normal strength!
The Envoy, which happens to be a dark-affiliated being and also holding the Tribulation's target, was like a piece of tofu constantly being ripped apart by the furious lighting!
AAAACKGHH!~
As much as the Envoy wanted to shift to its Spiritual form, he could not help but cry in regret; for only the Lightning Element has the power to work against the dark-affiliated being, especially a dark spiritual like him!
As for Kahayag, she was basking in the lightning as if getting a comforting hard lightning massage!
Apart from her great compatibility with the Lightning element, she was also a Spiritual from the Realm of Light who also happens to take comfort and would swiftly recover her strength in the presence of Lightning itself!
In less than two seconds, Kahayag is back in her peak strength!
Lesse and Long on the other hand also suffered hard against the barrage of the Lightning. Their chances of surviving the tribulation have also thinned down as they recklessly wasted their energy a while ago just trying to escape the Envoy's containment.
AAAGHK~
GROOOOAR-AAGKCH!~
And with each merciless strikes from heaven, Lesse and Long's body are also going through an explosive test. Their muscles, bones, and scales are being pulverized with each painful hit from the lightning.
It was only thanks to their overwhelming regenerative abilities that their entire body still remained intact, albeit barely holding on. Not to mention, their unyielding will and spirit allowed them to continue the test despite the uncertain victory.
