Realizing that Elric's real opponent has come, he quickly ignored the weakling clones and focused on the real one.
Elric's ever-transforming Dragon body now resembles that of a western Black Dragon. The color was mainly due to the presence of corruption still lingering in his body. Its eyes constantly flickered from red to blue, which represented Elric's waning resistance against corruption.
Without hesitation, Elric, on his Black Dragon form and the Elemental God, engaged in a brutal slugfest in the middle of the azure sky.
The Elemental God summoned different weapons to deal with Elric's God-like body but the latter seems to be strong enough to resist the world-shaking impact of his arrows.
"What is happening? I am the God of this realm! No one in this realm is strong enough to stand against me, but why is this Dragon fighting on the same level as I am!?"
BOOOM!!
BOOOM!
BOOOM!~
The longer the fight continued, the more the Elemental God realized the Dragon's abnormal capacity. All of his summoned clones are now gone and he is now left to face the Dark Dragon alone!
"Normal Dragons or even Elder and King Dragons are not strong enough to resist my attacks but how come this one can? Unless..." The Elemental God, with his swollen face and crippled body, finally realized something about Elric's abnormal power.
While he was contemplating what to do, Elric did not give him the chance to get back on his pacing.
BASH!
BASH!
"This is it! I can feel the elemental authorities coming back!" Elric felt that his fading consciousness is slowly coming back with every successful blow he dealt with the Elemental God. The Elemental Authority is quickly being regained with each attack from him, together with it is his resistance to the power of the corruption!
Elric knew that it was not enough for him to completely control the Dark Dragon's Essence but at least, he could get back from where he was before.
Elric's gigantic Black Dragon body continued to claw at the Elemental God. With each successful hit, the Elemental God could not help but release some of the Elemental Authority he had taken from Elric - who also took his every opportunity to regain them back.
"I see. So this is why Mhata insisted to give those powers to you...." The Elemental God murmured as his body continued to flail around due to Elric's relentless attack.
Thanks to his God-like body, he remained completely intact albeit the bruises and deformations on his body from Elric's sheer strength alone.
"If I can't win this, then..." Suddenly, the Elemetal God summoned a sword and desperately hacked it towards Elric.
Elric, on the other hand, was preparing his final attack with an ultimate fire he could muster. But just as he as about to finish the arrogant Elemental God, a bright slash of the latter's sword suddenly summoned a mysterious vortex!
SHOOOOOOOOO~
"If I can't defeat you, then, I will just banish you out of my realm! Hahaha!"
The Elemental God laughed maniacally with his swollen face as he summoned a dimensional vortex before Elric. It quickly devoured everything around like a hungry black hole - most importantly the black dragon before him.
Elric's huge body was suddenly sucked in like a liquid, and no matter how much he struggled, his body still melted before the dimensional vortex.
"This is bad!" Elric flapped his wings furiously trying to fly away but to no avail.
His body was quickly sucked by the sudden vortex and in no time, no single scale of him was left behind.
The azure sky of the Elemental realm is now devoid of any noise and activity. Only the silhouette of the Elemental God remained floating on the spot.
His pale-swollen face and tattered clothes decorated his former-glorious demeanor.
The God of the Elemental realm almost lost to a Dragon! If not for using his authority to vanish anyone out of his realm according to his will, he could have been dead elemental-meat right now.
"Hahaha! Come back if you have what it takes to take over my realm you freak!" The Elemental God laughed maniacally. As if trying to provoke his enemy who is now in a different realm.
CRACK!~
"Ow!~Oh, my body hurts." complained the God of the Elemental Realm, whos is now trying to comfort his injured areas.
"I am a God of this realm but I almost lost to that bastard. Just what kind of Dragon was that?"
The God of the elemental realm glanced at the beautiful colorful planets of his realm and said,
"How powerful could he get if he takes hold of all the other Elemental Authorities?" He added with a fearful expression. His mind was full of thoughts and confusion.
Sighing deeply, he said, "Mhata has a lot of explaining to do. It seems that bird is trying to hide something from me."
