171 Surrounded By Dus (2/2)
Unfortunately, in order to save her, he had to risk himself. In one glimpse, the greatest human warrior had fallen.
His soul had been taken away by Katimo.
”No! Lapu!” Kahayag cried anxiously as she watched everything unfolded before her. All she could do is a bit her lips as she witnessed Lapu-Lapu risking his life and soul because of her weakness.
As much as she wanted to chase after Lapu-Lapu's soul, she is afraid she might fail their mission on protecting the treasure entrusted to them.
She remembered clearly Lapu-Lapu's words to her.

”Whatever it takes, you must secure the holy seed.” His eyes were gleaming with resolve.
”Unlike you, I know that sooner or later, I will still face the door of death. Thus, you must make sure to keep it safe. Until the right time and the right one comes. You must keep it safe with you.”

Elric saw it himself through the eyes of Katimo. Lapu-Lapu's soul was secured in a small marble looking object.
Then, Katimo made a u-turn with haste. His mouth stretched with a wicked smile, his eyes locked at the unconscious body of the strongest human warrior.
Like a fish jumping out of dark water, he pulled himself out of the spiritual realm and showed his horrifying physical Bat form.
With huge flapping strides, he dashed towards the fallen warrior's body, its dark beady eyes gleaming with excitement.
”This vessel is mine!”
SWOOOOSH~SWOOOSH~SWOSWOSWOSWOSWOSSSSH!~
About twenty powerfully charged arrows of light suddenly riddled the Shadow King's body, instantly ripping its body into specks of dark dust!
”AAAGCK!~”
Katimo plummeted back to the spiritual realm, helpless, his physical shadow body instantly dissipated from Kahayag's furious arrows.
”Give. It. Back!” Kahayag commanded with cold eyes. The mere weight of her stare reflects death upon her target.
”Hahaha! You wan't it!?” Katimo, not backing down, immediately barked back.
”Then come and get it!”
Katimo knew that Kahayag could not leave the physical realm at the moment, or she would risk failing her mission in protecting the hidden treasure of the island which also happens to be in her possession right now.
Katimo is not after the treasure, he knew about it and it was useless for him as a being of Darkness. Not to mention, there were too many conditions to meet in order to activate the treasure thus it was pointless for him to go after it.
What he wanted is a powerful vessel, and Lapu-Lapu's body is just what he wanted! It was the body of a perfect warrior and if Katimo would get his hands over it, he could use it as an identity in the human realm and enjoy the benefits of the physical world can offer.
The physics world was just heaven for a being like them. The five senses of the human offer the gateway to human pleasure not available to the beings of darkness. And the more powerful the human body they occupy, the longer and better it could serve them!
Elric was about to continue to know about the truth of the past and the mystery of Kahayag and the treasure of the island when his outside senses told warned him of something.
”Can you let me go now?” Releived that he was still alive, Katimo was about to flee when he realized that the clutches of the spiritual chain was still in his body.
Elric pretty much knew how the spiritual realm now works with his newfound knowledge from Katimo. Without hesitation pulled a marble looking sphere out of Katimo's spiritual storage and used it to seal the latter.
”Wait I-”
And just like that, Elric did to the King what he did to his ancestor. He still has an unfinished movie to watch after all.
****
Elric's eyes opened.
And behold him, thousands, no, hundred thousands of Dragons from different region is currently surrounding him. Leading them at the front are the King and Queen Dragons from the three regions namely Leah, Arthur, and Fargor.
Lesse and Long were shaking nonstop beside him as they watched the new arrivals bringing forth an overwhelming army of Dragons from all around the world.
Elric smiled confidently.
Seeing his confident smile, the King and Queen Dragons could not help but react with scoff and proud gazes.
They were about to issue a command to attack the two Eastern Dragons when the mysterious human standing in between the two suddenly spoke.
”Kneel.”
SLAM!
WHAM!
BOOOOOM!~
THUUD!~
THUD!~
WHAM!
SLA-SLA-SLAM!~
