Chapter 36: Hail to our Lord

Eric thankfully managed to fly himself and Mogranius to safety, far out of that Large Bear's radar. Landing near the Cave, dangers have been avoided and terminated.

As a new quest, the young Electus queries to figure out how his mentor got bested by a thick skulled animal. "What on Ignis was that thing?"

Trying to blast fire out of his hand, agitated. Mogranius blurted. "Damn it! I hoped that those overweight blow horns went extinct."

His efforts to blast fire at the moment are stone strong, but no it ain't working. He has lost complete access to his powers, at least for a few hours.

"I never saw a Bear as huge as that one! I've heard fairy tales but I assumed it was a myth." Eric tried to explain, but he too is focused on his own powers so he had to repeat what he wanted to say for a couple of times to make sense.

With the most turbulent look on his face, Mogranius butchered. "It was a Source Bear! However, they got that nickname Centuries ago and it was proven that they were no Source, just over powered thick skulled animals."

"Source bears?" The youngster had never heard of such a name before.

So one thought loused in his mind which he did not fail to dictate. "They seem very rare though, you even thought them extinct. I suppose that worked to any Witch or Wizard's advantage."

However Mogranius' last words sure caused a lot of question marks in his head "But how was it proven that they aren't the source?"

His tone ascending, describing facts using his arms, legs and the rest of his body. Mogranius fumed. "About Two hundred and thirty years ago, a Hunter shot one down. Well ten hunters shot one down. Since it was killable, it ain't no Source but just an overweight blow horn."

Although the topic about a Bear, Mogranius' mind already raged 39 thoughts ahead. He mouthed, "It is well established that the manbeast we faced is a spawn of Xakro illustrato ll and that he has an actual Electus' powers. But with all those power, why didn't Xakro illustratio lll end you? He clearly could, no offense."

Staggered, having it hard to comprehend that Akareas was slaughtered, Eric hissed towards other facts. "Why did Chan come here just to shoot down a Calidum Lutum and rip his heart out? He shouldn't have known that they existed."

Talking about what Guard Commander Chan technically isn't supposed to know, raised up more thoughts which helped Eric prove a strong reasonable point. "And also, I recall Chan being stupid. He couldn't of organized a plan like that, unless he had Xakro's assistance."

To such strong points, Mogranius started stroking his chin, thankfully deciding to not be dramatic and start walking towards the Town. "Why would Xakro send a Goblin brained moron to do such job, the King could have sent his War Generals to lead a possible massacre."

This day's confusing no doubt, and as they've walked deeper in the tunnel, descending to darkness with an aim to reach Lan Zhe.

A key memory scrolled in Eric's little head and now he urges to tell Mogranius what happened.

Specifically down that Volcano even though it would make everything more confusing. "There is one more thing, when I…."

Trying to finish the sentence, they've got stunned after finally reaching the Inner entrance of Lan Zhe.

Finding all five Grand Masters bending the knee and shouting in the Ignite language even "Hail to our Lord! Hail!"

Following the chants of the Grand Masters are all Non Lava Controllers, Hatchlings, Young Cubs, Magicians, Experts and Masters.

Their Chants are heavy, shaking to the bone and felt through and through their hearts that even the ground is rumbling underneath their feet.

Commander Alia approaches, bends the knee in front of Eric specifically and sheds light upon this shrouded mystery. "It is both an honour and privilege, My King."
