"Hmp!" Seeing that his summoned creature is taking huge damage at Elric's attack, Aghus could not help but frown in seriousness. He did not expect that the spear of fire Elric wielded against his guardian Eels was this powerful.
It appears that he could have wiped all his guardian Eels out if he had taken the fight seriously. Perhaps, it was because he was lacking the will to kill that those guardian Eels are still happily breathing right now.
"Well, let's see who drains their power first! I have a whole realm to replenish my summon's body after all!"
With such a powerful spear it's slowly pecking away its mountainous body, Aghus swiftly focused his spell control on recovering its damaged body instead of advancing.
After all, his target is right now standing before him wielding his fire toys against his bad boy beast. The way Aghus sees it, Elric is already as good as served in a silver platter, it just happens that he was just steaming hot at the moment and it burns his tongue before he could move to take a bite.
The best solution is to wait until all its heat is gone!
It was all thanks to the natural gift of the Dragon's blood that Elric managed to recover his stamina at an incredible rate. However, the more he struck the giant coral mountain beast with his spear, the faster it continued to recover its body.
What's worst is that the land of the water realm is being used as its spare body, dragging everything from rocks to fishes and creatures to become patch tools and repair its blown body.
With renewed energy in his eyes, Aghus braced himself up and focused all his energy on fixing the damaged body of the giant coral mountain beast. The moment Elric lost his energy, he would be too tired to run away and until then, he is just as good as dead!
Watching this scene, the previous soldiers and the three mermaid princess was struck in mixed feelings of astonishment, regret, and fear.
Donna, the one who had been wrecking her mouth all this time calling Elric weak was unable to speak a word while her eyes are eagerly glued at Elric's glorious back, beautifully decorated by brilliantly burning wings of fire!
She is now unable to understand her feelings.
Diana and Danna, on the other hand, were happily cheering. They never expected that someone could stand against the mighty power of the Lord of the Water realm!
And to add it all, the one fighting the most powerful being currently in the water realm is the same human they considered the weakest of them all.
" Hahahaha! Is that all you got human!?" Aghus still had the energy to taunt Elric with a crazed laugh. With these taunts, he wanted Elric to continue attacking until his energy finally depletes.
Despite its incredible impact, Elric's spear of fire only managed to get inside the body for a short while before it dissipated. It lacked power in stopping the giant beast.
As more time passes by, Elric could feel his vision starting to blur and his strength slowly leaving his body.
Yes, he still had the stamina and he could breathe just fine. The problem lays in his depleting spiritual power and his seemingly futile attacks causing his will to stoop down.
The impact of his spear has gradually declined from thunderous blows into merely damaging spears.
Elric still has the will but he lacks the strength to summon the power blows. Slowly, the giant coral mountain beast crept its way towards Elric's direction with an astonishing recovery rate!
"Is this all that I can do?" With one more attack, Elric finally lost his balance as he reached his spiritual limit. His will is down and his spiritual energy depleted, Elric's body quickly stiffed and slowly fell towards the ground.
"Finally! Dragon blood is mine! Hahahaha!", seeing Elric's body suddenly stiffened due to spiritual energy depletion, Aghus could not help but laugh maniacally. With a waving point of his hand, the giant coral mountain beast hastily slinked its way towards the unconscious Elric.
This is exactly the chance that Aghus has been waiting for. Once he got his hands on that human's body, the dragon blood inside him should allow him to push through his power bottleneck and his dream of dominating the entire Elemental realm should be as easy as a walk in the park!
The damage to the water realm is nothing of his concern. For Aghus, everyone is just a tool. Despite his unwillingness, he has been faking his way through the ranks all this time, please the people of the water realm and the previous Lord Mahar until he got an opportunity to cheat him that causes his death without his own hands getting dirty.
But now, the realization of his dreams is finally in his hands! He has secured the golden pearls as his rice and the dragon blood and meat inside Elric will be his main dish for a breakthrough fiesta!
No one can stop me!
A few seconds later, he started laughing even more as Elric brandished his Spear of fire against his coral-mountain-beast nonstop but with a pale face! The damage the latter caused could not even amount to any value! It was like punching against the solid rock using a needle!
"Whahahaha! See!? You can't defeat me."
Aghus's smiled creepily as it widened to his ears with excitement and agitation. His sharp ugly teeth and gums fully in preview. The giant coral mountain beast is just a hundred meters away from Elric but for Aghus, it felt like it was the longest minute in his life!
Elric's mind raced thinking of a solution. He knew that fighting against this giant monster would only cast more dead merfolks. For some reason, he was angry, not because of the enemy but of himself.
The damage is only getting worse and more innocent people of the water realm are dying.
This is the same scene that happened before! The dead people, the burning town and the last smile of his grandma. All of these came back and an unexpected bright burning fire flared up inside him.
"I need more power."
With his body dropping towards the ground, Elric's mind came back to the black door with desperation.
WHOOOOHM~
With a determined look, his feet started to move and he entered the room while covered in bright burning fire.
Facing the dark room full of Ancestral Dragon's essence, Elric grabbed the shadowy energy lingering in the room with his brightly burning hands.
"Let me borrow the power of the Ancestral Dragon."
