"Sea of Flas..."
That was the last thing I heard before- ARGHH---!!
Avion was finally freed. But his mind was filled with nothing but torture and the relieving thoughts of death. Only when he was about to suffocate did his will to live surged.
Revert!
He did not even have the thought of bringing his clothes with him.
All he felt was the pain. Everywhere!
It was much more than just getting his skin peeled off. It was like there were a hundred thousand micro knives that was trying to pull him into hell. Every blood that was spilled were vaporized.
'Make it stop!' was the only thought he had.
People say that getting burnt to death was the most painful and drowning, the scariest. Getting cut off from air from what makes us live, our body wants us to feel the most fear, to beco the most desperate, so to find another source of air.
In the sea of flas, Avion was experiencing both.
Revert
He was no longer conscious. It was his body that was telling him to use his ability. The process was neither slow nor fast, thus, the body was able to keep up with the danger. It knew that he would die if he doesn't activate Revert.
His body was clinging to its last hope.
Revert...
How many hours have passed since he was placed in that hell? Avion has no idea, he just wished to make it stop, that was everything that he was asking for.
Death, he longed death. The pain overrode his instincts but his body didn't let him. The force to continue, life was surging within him, trying whatever ways to let him live.
This force tried to increase his sensitivity, wanting to make him superhuman but it just made him feel more pain. This force hastened his mind but it just made the torture becos slower. Each second feels like an eternity.
This force makes him the strongest.
Death gives life the most potential. It pushes life to do its best. Without it, there's no life in the first place.
Revert... the flas bathe him one last ti before it finally stopped.
His body charred and white foam ca out of his mouth, Avion dropped onto the ground. The sea of flas ca abruptly and disappeared abruptly as well. But for him, the ti there was like another decade of his life.
It was more painful than when there were hundreds of wood shards in his body, piercing him in every movent.
Avion didn't even have the consciousness to use Revert again.
"Avion"
"Avion"
"Avion..."
Voices wanting him to wake up didn't reach his ears. Is it better to let him die a hundred deaths than being bathed in flas? Darea could only ponder without coming to a conclusion.
A normal human would have died after a second there. But the force of life made use of Avion's ability to control ti. He should've died but he did not.
If this was before, his body would still be foreign to his ti abilities and would no rely on it. Only after many uses did his instincts relied on Revert.
"Avion... wake up..." there was a gentle voice that rang.
Avion trembled but no tears ca out of his burnt face. He could still feel the after-pain, yet, he did not have the ntality to think of reverting himself to perfect condition.
"Oh? Another Life Elentalist? Is this the one Kalin wants to release...? Is he... dead?" old Galion frowned, "Wait... is he not a Life Elentalist? There's an abundance of life force in him though."
He looked at the body lying on the ground filled with ashes. Lifeforce is there within the person's soul. It should not co out and emit an aura and that was why Galion midunderstood.
"Galion knew more about Life Elent than . How? Is it because he has been researching about it?" Darea was much older than Galion. But unlike the seemingly older dude, the Conqueress didn't dedicate herself to study, but instead, the path to strength.
"Avion..." Darea called again, standing up straight, looking down on him as if he was a stranger she saw on the road, "Avion..."
She was expressionless until Avion finally moved.
But before he could think, Galion made a move again. Even as a senile old man, his face beca sharp when he noticed the changes in the queen's aura, suggesting that she was secretly casting an outre.
Whatever it is, Galion wouldn't let her. He raised his hand but froze.
"Huh...?" he shivered up to his spine, feeling a cold touch on his neck, like the blade of a guillotine, as he "looked" near the charred body. Knowing that no one was there, "That fear... was that just my imagination..? What was that... -wait!"
Carrying King Isero, Queen Teresa jumped off like a bullet towards the princess's direction. Galion failed to deter her due to an unknown interruption. making her casting successful.
When Galion flew off and followed, Darea massaged her temples, "Calm down, getting angry does not have any benefits." she reminded herself.
Only when there are no consequences would she let her fury out. She is, after all, the Great Conqueress and does not recklessly abide by what her emotions do.
"Avion..." she called out again.
Once more, before Avion could move, sothing interrupted. There was a roar that shook the land.
"A Rank Bih Elental Beast? This is bad..." she whispered as if it doesn't concern her, "Wait, no... not a beast but beasts. Why are there so many?"
The earth trembled and just like a giant fish coming out of its water, there was a giant beast that ca out of the land itself!
Roar--!
Its ear-deafening roar caught the attention of the other servants, having their residents far from the center of the Trading-Hills Resort. The branch families also ca out and saw the chaos.
The pool had lost its water. Its vaporized form clouded up to the sky as the land burn. There was nothing since everything that stood on the ground before was now either destroyed or burnt to ashes.
The scenes seed like the remnants of war.
Forest fire spread and the people outside the Trading-Hills Resort were alerted. However, what made them fear the most was the deafening roar earlier.
"An Elental Beast!? Inside the capital?! Is the world ending!?" many scread and panic, Riskers didn't wait for Guild Master Gon to make it an ergency mission. The scarce security within the capital took a blow. They could only panic.
"Why is there an Elental Beast here!? Aren't we on the safest spot in Haliviana!?"
"I didn't sign up for this!"
"Just from its roar, that should be at least Rank Cee!"
"It ca from the resort, the Royalties are there, right!?" instead of worry towards their rulers, it was hope. Rank Bihs are the peak and if they cannot withstand the sudden appearance of elental beasts, then the commoners could only be lambs waiting to be devoured.
