189 The Strongest Lightning (1/2)
KRAKAKAKAABOOOM!~
BOOOOM!~
BOOOOM!~
The whole land had been turned into a crater field, looking like the moon's surface from the outside thanks to the relentless rain of lightning bolt's from the now house-size bluish wisp. In the middle of the messy land is a small car-sized turtle with blue flame flowing seamlessly in between his shell.
”T-this is not working. I do not stand a chance at all.” Wheezing hard from the shortness of his breath, Dash, struggled to keep up against his domineering opponent.
”Is that all? Please do not disappoint me, fellow Lord.” The echoing arrogance from the voice of the bluish wisp filled the air as its massive size continued to spark with destructive lightning in its surroundings.
”I was hoping that you would actually put a more challenging fight considering you managed to surprise me with your fire elemental attribute despite being a water elemental.” It added while it hovered closer to Dash with its intimidating presence.
The wisp's huge body was reflected at Dash's beady eyes. True enough, all his attacks are rendered ineffective to a being who has no physical body. One must know that the-wisp is a pure energy-based elemental. A being completely invulnerable from all physical attacks.
No matter how powerful Dash's water current blast or his blue fire, the wisp would just glow in chaotic brightness for a while as it is capable of absorbing the energy and convert it as part of its power.
It is safe to say that the more Dash fought back using elemental-based powers, the stronger the-wisp becomes. His forceful physical attacks and his proud super-stomping are even rendered useless, worst, it would only risk himself from getting closer to such a dangerous body of his enemy.
Dash's body was mostly built for defense, unfortunately for him, the electrical attack of the wisp overcomes his sheer overwhelming physical defense. Although he has such high vitality, little by little, he is starting to reach his limit.
Few more direct hits from the lightning bolts and he would be a goner!
”I must find a way to defeat him without using physical or elemental powers. But the question is how? How do I fight it?” Dash thought as he immersed himself in trying to find a way to survive the next incoming attacks.
The massive bluish wisp is now starting to emit even brighter light as if a lightbulb increasing in its voltage, energy from the air starting to congregate as if an extra-powerful charging bolt is coming.
”Now, before I finish you, I just happen to have one question.” The wisp said as its body started to glow stronger, holding back the overwhelming charged lightning about to explode.
Dash glared back with vigilant eyes. He could feel the sudden impulse of congregating energy towards the body of the massive bluish wisp. For some reason, Dash's instinct keeps telling him to flee now.
The clouds have completely turned pitch-black. The air was silent and the atmosphere was eerie. Dash felt like the angels of death are currently smirking on him.
The next attack is probably something that he can't take.
”The blue elemental fire essence that you have, did that flaming bird gave it to you?” Asked the bluish wisp.
”What about it?” Dash replied coldly.
”Hmp! As I thought. I actually happen to know The Great Seer Mhata. In fact, we are very close to each other that everything you knew about her is most probably completely different from the truth.” The wisp could not help but gave a mocking tone in his reply.
”What do you mean? She gave me the essence of the blue fire as a parting gift of my service to her.”
”That's what you thought. Although it is too late for you now since you are still gonna die anyway, let me let you in a little bit of the real ride here...” The wisp's mocking voice declared, then with a hushed voice, it added,
”Everything that happened, is all because of her.”
Dash replied with a doubtful look. Seeing this, the wisp could not help but add in a mocking tone,
”Everything that happened since the past, the death of your past King, the attack in your water elemental realm, the tragedy of the eastern Dragons ten years ago, the mad Ancestral Dragon, you name it! Everything was under her control the entire time. Everything is part of the majesty's grand plan! Huwahahaaha!~”
”I do know that the great Seer Mhata has the ability to see the future. But I know her! She is a good Lord. And you expect me to believe you!?” Dash beckoned back with anger filling up his beady eyes. Remembering the life-changing help she did for him, he could not help but defend her name.
Dash is a simple turtle, you help him once and he will be a faithful friend forever.
Realizing that talking more about the plan is useless for Dash's simple mind, the wisp could not care less.
”Beleive me or not, I do not care! Farewell loser!” a mocking voice from the wisp was meant to say goodbye.
”Ultimate Lightning! Waning Flash!”
