An Unexpected Power

Facing the spiraling charge of the Eels with renewed vigor, Elric racked his head on how to end this fight as soon as possible. But before he could think more, the spiraling Eels suddenly opened their mouth at the same time and shot electricity towards the middle of their formation. Together, it formed like waiving electricity in the middle of spiraling Eels.

Elric knew that it was not a good sign and decisively swam away further from their formation only to realize that the spiraling formation was sucking him up towards the merging electric strikes that brought a powerful might with it.

Realizing that the pulling force is only getting stronger and stronger, Elric decided to stop them by shooting the spiraling Eels. However, before the Spear of Fire could reach them, the sucking force caused the Spear of Fire to miss and redirect into bits as it hit the giant ball of electricity in the middle of the spiraling Eels.

"Not good..." Elric decided to focus on escaping away from them but the pulling force continued to intensify, giving Elric an even harder time to move. With him inside the water, the tornado-like force is like the undeniable gravity that keeps everything down.

Back at the wide courtyard of the Lord of the Water Elementals, Aghus was laughing maniacally as he waved his hands while controlling the Eels from afar. Elric had no idea that what he is facing at the moment is not just ordinary guarding creatures but the power of the Water Elemental Lord itself.

Aghus's shining hand swiftly moved while he controlled his remaining Guardian Eels from afar.

"How dare you killed one of my babies. Now taste the wrath of my power!"

"Yaaaah! Get that human!"

"bring him and toast him!"

"Raaah!~"

The merfolks surrounding Aghus cheered merrily as the watched Elric through the giant bubble struggled for his life. Both men, women, and children are rejoicing in Elric's current state. After all, the water Elementals hated the human in the first place.

As time goes on, the ball of Lightning continued to expand with terrifying voltage while the sucking force is slowly dragging Elric towards the deadly ball of lightning. The deep blue sea was now blanketed by a brilliant light caused by the lightning while furious waves started to rampage the outer sea of the water Elemental world.

"Is this where it ends?" Elric felt helpless as he gets closer and closer to the giant ball of lightning that continued to create frenzied sparks in its surroundings.

"No, this is not the end," Elric recalled the struggles he went through just to seal the Ancestral Dragon's Essence inside in him and had an idea.

"Lightning..." Elric had an epiphany and suddenly summoned his Wings of Fire. With a glint of determination in his face, Elric rushed straight at the giant ball of lightning. This action caused the watching merfolk and the Eels themselves to be dumbfounded at his unexpected decision.

This is the giant ball of lightning cast by the Lord of the Sea After all. Elric is not just currently fighting ordinary Eels, but creatures specially modified by the Water Elemental Lord himself.

After feeding them precious Cloud stones when they're young, these Eels managed to develop an extra ability to produce Electricity from their body and with hundreds of years of cultivation, they became more compatible with this lightning that they were able to create this powerful formation with the help of the Water Elemental Lord himself.

Seeing Elric charging foolishly to the Orb of lightning, the lord of the Water Elemental, Argus, smirked in pride. Countless of intruders have tried to invade his territory only to end up either eaten by his Guardian Eels or shocked to death by the Orb of lightning. No one has ever survived this formation, but now, a weak-looking human dares to charge towards it without hesitation.

"Perhaps he has given up for his life that he resorted to such action. Very well, you wanted a quick death? I shall give it to you. But in the end, your meat is still mine." Argus smiled wickedly as he watches Elric charging towards the huge ball of electricity.

Elric braced himself with each passing moments, he continued to swim faster with the help of the pulling force. With the spiraling Eels working like a vacuum, he went straight towards the center where the huge ball of lightning waits.

While Aghus and the rest of his people watched the show through the giant bubble, their faces have mixed emotions of excitement and hate towards the human who dares to trespass to their territory.

With a glint of light in his eyes, Elric's Wings of Fire suddenly dissapeared while Elric switched on activating the sealed power of the Ancestral Dragon's Essence inside him.

"HAAAAH!"

WOOOOOM~

With the power seeping out of him, it created a powerful aura that sent out shockwaves to his surroundings. The sudden release of the Ancestral Dragon's power which brings forth their innate fear of this apical species caused the spinning Eels to lose their control and their formation to disappear at the same time.

The sudden release of a terrifying power brought a powerful dominant shock wave that immediately paralyzed the giant Electric Eels, while some of them were unable to resist and were knocked unconsciously on the spot.

Meanwhile, Elric used the ball of lightning to temper his mind and used it as an impetus to fight back against the mental pressure of the corrupting dragon essence. With the backing of his experience, Elric was able to maintain his sanity as he quickly scaled back the power of the Ancestral Dragon inside him.

Using the momentum of the sucking force, Elric managed to go straight towards the gate to the Water Elemental kingdom while leaving the unconscious Electric Eels floating and the mouth of the merfolks wide open.

"What was that power?" The Lord of the Elemental Realm was unable to hold himself back as he stood in surprise. Witnessing such power, just who is this human actually and why did he possess the aura of an Ancestral Dragon?

"That firebird has a lot of explaining to do..." Facing his people, Aghus shouted an unexpected command. "Send me our strongest Elemental Warriors, let's dissect that human into pieces."
