CRAAASH!
The giant coral mountain beast's attempt to devour them failed as the whale suddenly sprinted with all its strength. It has finally let go of its heavy golden armor which had been dragging it slowly all this time. With this speed boost, they manage to gain an extra distance away from the giant monster.
However, the more time passes, the giant monster's body continued to expand and became faster, brining unprecedented damage to the kingdom itself.
"Stop the whale." Elric suddenly said. The three mermaid princess was surprised at his command and Donna quickly rebutted.
"Why do you think should we listen to you? Can't you see we are getting chased by that giant mountain monster? Where is your brain human? Was it too polluted too?"
"Donna..." Diana was about to talk to Donna when Danna suddenly made a command to the giant whale.
"Moo-moo stop."
"Huh? Are you crazy!? Sister will be dead if we stop now! Look! It is gaining on us! Moomoo don't stop!" Donna immediately runs to Danna with a frightened look. With the sister fighting, Moomoo, the giant whale chooses to continue running. After all, it also doesn't want to get devoured by the giant coral mountain monster.
Contrary to Donna's panicked tone, Danna asked Elric in a very calm manner.
"So what is your plan human?"
"I am going to end this fight here. After all, what's gonna happen to this place? Aren't you girls princesses? Aren't you going to help your dying people?" Elric asked with curiosity.
Donna smiled walked closer towards Elric with elegance. Her small lips and white beautiful face, reminiscent of a water goddess.
"Just to correct you human, we 'were once' princesses of this land. But, ever since we lost our father, Lord Mahar, we lost our footing in the kingdom as it was Aghus who has power closest to our father." Now facing the vast world of the water Elemental realm, she continued: " The power and authority of the realm lordship automatically transfer to those who possess the strongest power in a certain realm no matter how many suitable blood-related successors he has. The lordship power only acknowledges the power and not the royalty of blood despite its social status. Hence, it was only normal that Aghus succeeded to the throne instead of us."
Looking at Elric she smiled, "Our father Lord Mahar was loved and respected by everyone compared to Aghus. Father was gentle, kind and wise and he was the most friendly of all Elemental Lords." With teary eyes, she continued, "Father was too friendly that he even became friends with lords of all Elemental realms."
"Do you mean including the Great Seer Matha?"
"Yes."
"I see." Elric pondered for a moment before he continued. "Then, If that is the case, we are allies and not enemies."
"What do you mean-" Danna was about to ask further when she realized that Elric has already jumped out of the great whale towards the chasing giant coral mountain beast.
"Are you crazy!? You will be sucked by that beast! We did not risk our lives just to let you die a pathetic death!" Donna bellowed angrily while Diana was stared at the falling Elric.
"Father, is it really alright to trust this human?" Danna murmured to herself. They all watched Elric falling to the ground with unexplained mixed feelings. Donna was madly shouting, Diana was worried about her hands clasped together while Danna was calm and continued to focus on driving away from the whale. She does not fully trust Elric's abilities yet even if he has the Dragon's blood. Nevertheless, she could use the time Elric would by for them to escape.
After all, they did their part. It was just that the human was too foolish to think he can take on the giant coral mountain beast alone. She believes as the eldest of the three sisters, she has the right to prioritize her sister's lives before an unknown human with little to nothing abilities.
Right before Elric was about to land to the ground, he summoned the wings of fire and immediately rose back up towards the face of the giant monster. With the fluidity of the water, his body managed to adapt to this new environment and adjust to it like air itself. He adjusted his wings to appear more flowing and soft like fish fins.
"What!?"
"Fire!?"
"Impossible! Is this the power of a dragon?"
The three sister mermaids immediately stupified at the sudden burst of brilliant burning wings at the back of Elric. They could not connect how the fire was able to burn in the water realm when it was its elemental nemesis.
What they did not know is Elric's Wings of Fire is not made up of normal chemical composition primarily made of carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen, and nitrogen-oxygen to maintain its burning state, it was made from his own spiritual will given by the Great Seer Matha.
In a sense, his power of Authority of Fire fully depends on his own will. The more powerful his will power is, the stronger the Authority of Fire becomes!
Spear of fire!
FWOOOOSH~
An orange-brilliant spear made of fire suddenly appeared in Elric's hands. With a serious look, a started throwing them towards the giant monster.
KYANG! KYANG! BOOM! BOOM!~
Elric summoned spears after spears while mercilessly bombing the giant coral mountain beast. With each strike comes a powerful impact and explosion that sends a huge chunk of rubles everywhere.
Shockwaves, strong enough to send one a hundred meters away continued to wave with each impactful burning spear and the giant coral mountain beast could not help but finally slow down.
