209 Ten Thousand Years On Kaoras Realm (2/2)

Elric nodded in reply. How they will come back is up to him.

Fortunately, according to the Elder Guardian's honest and highly accurate calculations, their chances of coming back were at fifty-six percent.

How they will manage to pull on the positive side, depends on what's waiting inside.

Elric smiled as he gently rubbed the top of the turtle's head. He gave a glance to the Elder Guardian who then replied with a respectful bow.

”I will be back.”

Elric gently held his grandma's body as he started walking towards the portal door to Kaora's realm.

Lesse and Long gave a nod to each other as they both followed Elric inside with a determined face.

With the help of time difference inside, they decided that they will train too and will come back stronger in the next two months, though it could mean ten thousand years on the other end.

As the figures of Elric and the rest completely disappeared from the ever warping door, sounds of cracking slowly followed.

Dash, who although have expected it to happen still could not help but feel a little anxious. His turtle face looked at the tall Elder Guardian beside him who remained calm and watched everything with a glint of hope in its eyes. The latter still looked like a skeleton from his previous energy transfer.

CRAAACK~

SSHHHHH~

And finally, the door to the Kaora's realm has suddenly solidified like a white stone slab before slowly collapsing into fine sands.

It was indeed a one time use portal prophetically designed only for this day to come - to provide a shelter for Elric and the others and push for the final breakthrough.

”So that prophesized war is finally coming...” A sad and helpless voice came from behind.

The other Elder Guardians finally revealed themselves from behind the white walls surrounding them. Their sudden appearance startled the little turtle, but fortunately, they do not give off any hostile vibe at all.

”Kaora has predicted everything that was to happen in the next million years before he dissapeared Just what kind of level of intelligence have he reached...” said the Elder Guardian.

Eyes of pure admiration can be seen in the cold blue eyes of the Guardian leaders.

Then, with a soft and calm voice, the Elder Guardian suddenly said as he left towards the door leading outside.

”The Beast is coming. Prepare the final preparation. Let's go meet it outside.”

Dash nodded as he gulped a big one and followed the tallest one in front. The rest of the Guardians took left in different directions, seemingly having their own post to occupy.

***

In a world where the vibrant orange skies are adorned with thousands of obviously colorful planets, weird-looking trees that towered for more than ten thousand meters and a vast land that was littered with various animals with incredibly weird species in different sizes was the view that greeted Elric and the rest of the crew.

The moment they laid their eyes on Kaora's realm, Lesse and Long could not help but gape in wonder and astonishment.

”You have finally come.”

A gentle yet warm voice suddenly came from behind. Elric and the Eastern Dragon siblings instinctively jumped back, swiftly assuming a battle stance before shocked gazes reflected in their faces.

Elric too watched the mysterious figure behind him and he could not help but gape in shock as well.

”You...” Elric muttered in a daze.

”Welcome to my world. Are you ready to stay here for the next ten thousand years?”

The greetings came from a man that looked exactly as Elric's great grandfather - Lapu-Lapu.

The only difference is that the man has hair made of white light and glowing eyes of pure white, not to mention, he is currently sitting cross-legged at the top of pure white Dragon's head the size of the entire planet earth.

The man itself is a giant and even from incredibly long distance, his figure can be clearly seen. Even his voice felt like he was just talking beside them.
