192 Madness Of Khan (1/2)
What happened next was history.
Through the wisp's perspective, Elric saw how the rest of the story unfolded. How Elric fought the Manananggal trying to protect an Eastern Dragon in human disguise. How he continually knocked to the death's door only to be saved by a dragon blood transfusion and eventually reaching the corrupted Ancestral form to start the biggest rampage in history.
Elric was just too dumbfounded after knowing how it was all actually the Great Seer Mhata's doing all along.
”She mentioned that my fate was in my hands, as it turns out, she was the one pulling the strings after all!” Elric thought with growing fury in his heart.
To sum it all for him, the real reason for his messy life was caused by her.
The Ancestral Dragon mentioned that Lesse's blood transfusion to save him was the trigger for the offer of the Ancestral Dragon's essence. She happens to be the first one to break the real barrier that was the overwhelming pride of the Dragons.
Did the Great Seer Mhata also foresee this? Is it the reason why she made those instructions with very specific details?
Now one question remains in Elric's mind,
”Why the Great Seer Mhata? Is she really an enemy or a friend?”
Elric clearly recalls that the reason for Dash's sudden appearance to save him was under the Great Seer Mhata's instruction. The blue fire essence the turtle got also happens to be from her.
It was also under the guidance of the Greet Seer Mhata that Elric is still alive until now. But if so, why does she warn him of such a dangerous future?
”I have too many questions on top of my current problems. I still have to save my grandma's body and those siblings. I have to get back to the Elemental Realm as soon as possible!”
Knowing that he doesn't have much time left, Elric was just about to continue diving deeper to uncover more of the depths of the wisp's memory when he suddenly felt a bad premonition.
His dangerous instincts had been flashing red lights all along!
Swiftly he pulled his soul out of the ocean of the wisp's memory and back to his body only to be greeted by ear-shattering and eye-blinding show.
CLAANG!~
BAAAM!BABABABABAAAM!~
BOOOM!~
CLANG! CLANG!~
BOOOOOOOM!~
”Hugo kid! Help!”
Dash's panicking voice together with the series of explosions throughout the surroundings greeted Elric's return. Upon a quick glance, he realized they were in the middle of a barrage from countless Arkhan ships hovering above the sky.
They sent over invisible missiles, lazer cannons, and even dropping bombs that are strong enough to wipe an entire large house in one pop - all in efforts of trying to break the shield barrier that Dash had set up to protect Elric's body.
Dash was just about to collapse from the Arkhan's relentless attacks as his energy barrier was thinning down the more powerful their weapons are.
”I only left for not less than 30 seconds and they managed to find us that fast?”
The time is much different in the soul realm, but the fact was that channeling over and shattering the memory of the wisp takes time. Reviewing them also takes time and if only have more, he would have gone deeper to uncover more truth.
Now, with the wisp pulsating weakly in his hand, Elric immediately lent a helping hand to Dash by channeling a healing spell to Dash's gravely injured body.
As expected of the Dragon hunting race, the Arkhans were still committed to hunting the best Dragon out there. Through various secret channels and their wide range of surveillance systems, it did not take long for them to track Elric.
And the moment Elric put down his guard and his energy frequency calmed down, the Arkhans swiftly made their move to capture Elric. The only problem is the Lord of the Elemental realm, who happens to be capable of casting over a shielding spell for both of them.
”You did a good job friend.” Elric commended as he swiftly turned around to face their countless enemies.
”Stay here. I will be back.” Elric added before a sudden shift from friendly to cold eyes.

”Report?”
Khan, the supreme commander, and father of the Arkhan race is currently inside the black orb located inside the middle of the enormous Arkhan ship.
He has a human form except for its pale white face and pure white eyes. There are glowing tattoo-like marks that resembled a circuit-chip embedded on the sides of his head.
