166 Unkillable Elric (2/2)

”Ahem. So what are you waiting for? Do you want this handsome gentlemen's soul back or not?” The King complained about an agitated look on its face. The latter may sound angry but the spilling saliva dripping down of its mouth betrayed it of its intense agitation in taking over Elric's' body.

”Hurry up and destroy his soul. Use the knife, or do you want me to do it myself?” It hurriedly added.

”First, hand that marble over to me, and this young man's soul will be as good as a goner in less than a second.” Kahayag insisted, her hands were just inches away from the blade.

”Purge that ugly soul out first and you can have this stupid marble!” The King beckoned back, refusing to do Kahayag's request.

”Then how about this, we do it together. I crush the soul right away and you throw that marble to me.” Kahayag suggested, her eyes determined not to let her enemy take advantage of her.

Like a spoiled lady, the King replied, ”Hmp. Fine.”

The two of them looked at each other. The time suddenly stood still.

Their background was still the same catastrophic image of a scorched crater and far behind Kahayag are the two Eastern Dragon bodies still burning unceasingly from the might of the Tribulation of Light.

The King held the marble tightly while Kahayag had a conflicted look on her face.

One could feel intense powers colliding in their determined eyes. Like an unseen spark, trying to destroy one another mentally.

One is the once the greatest warrior from the Realm of Light while the other is a King from the Realm of Darkness. Both with different desires and are unwilling to lose a single advantage over this trade. They waited a hundred years for this event after all.

Judging from their past activities and their nature, they both knew that they can't trust the other.

After all, why would a thief trust another thief its precious possessions?

A minute has gone passed, and they are stuck in the standstill. Kahayag looked as tense as before while the King had all the time that he can waste. He was playing with the small marble in his huge palms.

”Sigh. Alright. I will do it first.”

Suddenly Kahayag started talking, albeit a hesitant tone in her voice. She just could not bare the sight of Lapu-Lapu still helplessly stuck inside the cursed marble.

The King smiled wickedly.

”Sound's good to me. Hurry up and do it, then this gentleman's love-of-your-life will be finally yours! Break it, to win it!” the King excitedly encouraged her with a showman's energy.

Then slowly, Kahayag's hand made contact with the blade once more.

Wing~

A strong vibration started to channel from the blade and to her body. Then, with all her focus, Kahayag slowly exerted more strength and spiritual energy in her grip before pushing the knife's blade even deeper on Elric's body.

KSSSHK!~

MBHMBHH!~

Elric's body instinctively shocks and mumbled from the unexplainable pain from its back. Together with it was an incredible surge of destructive energy that seems to dissolve all the conscious ability in Elric's body.

The cursed blade had been fully activated. It was on the process of slowly dissolving Elric's soul until Kahayag's eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

”What's wrong?.. Wait... How come?”

The blade!

She can't push through even deeper!

The curse!  The destruction of Elric's soul!

It's not working!
