239 Against The Retribution of Heaven Tribulation (2/2)
Kruugggh! Krgugggg!~
”You know how powerful God's Reckoning Tribulation right? The moment it will strike, you will-heeeok~”
Elric's grip tightened and Emperor could not utter any more words.
”oggh...rihgt..” with a forced expression, the Emperor opened his mouth and showed a tiny white marble with the soul of Elric's grandma glowing inside.
”Grandma...” Elric mumbled gently as he watched the soul of the person he loved the most. The reason he was fighting, the person he longed, and the only family left for him. Elric looked at the grandma's soul with teary eyes.
Swiftly, Elric's hand grabbed the white marble and sighed happily.
Of course, the Emperor did not waste this small opportunity when Elric was distracted. His scattered body parts suddenly melted like black ink and scattered throughout the area until the whole place was completely covered in shadow.
”Now give me your body!” the Emperor beckoned victoriously as he summoned a massive mouth filled with countless sharp fangs from below.
Shuuuuugh!~
The giant fanged mouth quickly devoured Elric who was holding the Emperor with his one hand and the white marble with the other.
Chomp!~
In an instant, Elric's figure was swallowed like a tiny ant by the mouth of a gigantic black shark. The soul of grandma was just a distraction and a lure to the perfect being he was after this whole time.
”Hahahaha! You are mine! You are-”
Swiiish~
Waaaang!!!
An extremely long blazing sword made of golden fire ripped the gigantic shadow mouth. Elric's figure appeared unscathed while the blazing sword of golden fire completed the 180 degrees swing.
Fooooom!~
The dark shadow that was surrounding him was instantly incinerated as a golden fire stretched out like a wave of golden water.
At the same time...
Shook! Shook! Shook!~
Emperor reappeared above him, his smile remained intact together with his reformed body. Tiny bubbles of dark ink popped away from his arms and quickly formed into a black spear - it was the same spear he used to destroy the brave soldiers of the Elemental Realms.
Shooook~Shooook~Shooook~Shooook~
A rain of black spears came down and was aiming at Elric's head. On the other hand, Elric did not bother looking up and just brandished his blazing sword with an upward swipe.
Shhhhhssh~
The black spears were instantly destroyed while Elric countered with his own flaming spears.
Shooook~Shooook~Shooook~Shooook~
”hahahaha!” the Emperor barely managed to dodge the flaming spears as he created a dimensional and disappeared.
Zioong!~ Ziong! Ziong!~
Taking advantage of the Godly Beast's dimensional ability, the Emperor summoned hundreds of dimensional door and out from it, thousands of black spears swiftly came out aiming at Elric.
”hmp!” Elric secured the marble in his hand as it blended with his magical pendant. Now that his priority has been secured, Elric's eyes started to become serious.
Then with his right hand transforming into a Dragon's hand, he effortlessly evaded all the black spears before following up by slamming the sand with his Dragon arm.
Whaam!~
BOOOOOOM!~
A powerful shock wave was created as the sand below him was smashed and turned into a sand storm. A tornado was created that was so powerful that the dimensional doors the Emperor created started to collapse from the roaring mix of wind and sand.
It took a while before the sandstorm finally calmed and Elric is currently standing alone in the desert.
”haahahaha!” echoing laugh of the Emperor resonated throughout the sandy place. Elric's senses were extremely powerful and sensitive. He knew the Emperor is still around and he pretty much knew what he is thinking.
Krruuuugh!~
”It is coming!”
Finally, the dark clouds have gained enough energy after minutes of charging. The Godly Reckoning Tribulation was known to be the strongest form of Tribulation that will test the strongest Dragon's will that wanted to reach the heavenly realm.
In cases that a certain Dragon has obtained the power at a heavenly level while not going through the normal process of the God Reckoning Tribulation, a stronger and more powerful tribulation will come with the sole purpose of destroying him instead of a normal test.
It is called the Retribution of Heaven Tribulation.
This extremely rare tribulation was about to strike Elric. The Emperor knew Elric's current power and he doesn't have enough power to weaken the Heavenly Dragon at its peak. The only chance he got is the incoming lightning.
However, this could also harm him considering that he is a being of Darkness.
”heheheh~” But instead of being afraid, the Emperor's wicked smile stretch farther.
He is currently hiding at 500 meters deep under the desert. The power of the previous Elemental God was being summoned as countless glowing tails started to grow from his back and slowly covered his entire body.
After a few seconds, his body is now completely covered in the glowing power of the previous Elemental God. He is now ready to go out.
”He will never know what is coming!”
