194 Khans Greed (1/2)
The third eye that Khan possesses was not a naturally achieved one. Originally belonging to the ancient race of the Guardians, they have natural mental prowess and incredibly high intelligence standard.
In other words, they are a race that is governed by great science and logic. In order to attain a higher form of intelligence, they got rid of most of their emotions to give way to their logical advancement which eventually led to their incredible scientific and technological breakthrough.
But in return for their overwhelming mental breakthrough is their loss to their soul's true capacity.
Unlike the Guardians, Khan's own Arkhan race diverted to a different track which depends more on the use of the technology and logic. Using advanced technology and the thousand years old knowledge they have accumulated, he managed to find a way to get the same power as if having a third eye.
Placed in the temple of Khan's head is a technology that surpasses the limitation of the physical boundary, the Third Eye of Khan!
Looking back at the glaring third eye of Khan, Elric mumbled to himself,
”This is weird. Clearly, that is not a real third eye! But how come it emits the same soul function like a real one?”
Elric still had more questions, but right now, his priority is to finish Khan and give an end to the ever destructive Arkhan race once and for all.
”I know you are surprised Dragon, you think you are the only ones who has access to the soul powers? Take this!”
SOUL SHOCK!~
”What!?” Elric
A sudden wave of soul-freezing attack assaulted Elric via the soul realm. It was an attack that disregards the distance between each other, instantaneous damage to the target.
”Hmp!”
WOOOONG~
FLASH!~
With a sudden glow of his soul, the Soul attack from Khan was dispersed. Elric's soul power is, after all, at an unusual level. With his spiritual gift being awakened by his ancestor Lapu-Lapu, a mere soul shock attack is not enough to faze him.
However, Elric felt a sudden chill and warning from his protective instinct. Hurriedly, he returned to his physical awareness only to see another Red Line beam coming his way.
”This..” Without wasting any single milisecond, Elric swiftly manuevered himself to avoid the incoming beam when it suddenly split into four, perfectly predicting his escape route and piercing his body from four different sides.
”No- I can't avoid it!”
WHIIING~
WHIIING~
WHIIING~
WHIIING~
In a blink of an eye, Elric lost both his arms and legs.
”I see. So that is why.”
The timing of the soul shock at the soul realm was only a cover-up for the real attack at the physical realm. Khan took the slight delay of transitioning between physical and spiritual realm and choose to blind Elric with the target.
The true aim was not to kill him but to decapitate his body and disable his resistance! The Red Line was strong enough to perfectly cut through Elric's overwhelming defense.
The first shot a while ago was only a test to confirm if their attack is really capable of cutting his limbs seamlessly.
”Ugh...” Elric grunted from the pain of losing both his arms and legs. Blood spurted out of his exposed flesh as he started channeling his water elemental healing spells. While his body dropped from the sky, his body was being covered in greenish water that swiftly repairs his body.
With the help of the Ancestral Dragon's essence to complement his healing spell, his body started to grow another pair of limbs at a visible rate!
Seeing this, Khan simply reacted with a scoffing smile.
”Activate Gravity Pull as planned!”
”Activating Gravity Pull!” A swift reply came from one of his men in the control room.
The next instant, the Arkhan mother ship started to release a soundwave that accurately covered Elric's falling figure.
Bzz-Wooo~Wooo~WOoom~
Upon contact to the sound wave, his body started to feel a weird weight shifting sensation. His gravity has been modified and his falling figure made an L-turn being pulled toward's the Arkhan mother ship!
With each second, his acceleration swiftly increased and it will only take another five seconds for him to reach the Arkhan mothership's gate!
Then, without a rest, Khan ordered the next move.
”Bolt Cast!”
”Bolt Cast activate!”
KRAAAAKAAABOOOOOM!~
Two massive towers standing in front of the Arkhan mothership started to emit terrifying electric charge before unleashing it towards Elric's incoming figure.
Without his wings of fire, Elric is left with no choice but to receive the full brunt of the electric attack!
”I need to heal fast!” Elric mumbled to himself as he continued to channel his healing ability to the fullest.
BOOOOM!~
KRAACK!~
”Aaagh!”
BZZZZZT! BZZT! BZZZT!~
