Capítulo 31: Chapter 31: Awaken Lightning
Back in the Lanxter kingdom, Halazar was preparing the wedding ceremony for Grim and Julia. The dining table, benches were set out, the walls decorated with flowers carved with amethyst. But there was a strange thing, Halazar showed a sinister smile as if he had prepared something for this wedding ceremony. With only a day left until the attack on Lanxter began, Grim was walking around the castle when he saw Exos entering the room. Grim wondered:
"He's strange, he didn't return to the kingdom with his king."
Grim had entered Exos's room and found him drinking tea. Exos looked at Grim and said nothing, he poured more tea into his cup. Grim said angrily:
"Hey, Horsemen, what are you doing here at the castle?"
Exos didn't answer and kept doing his own thing. Grim became angry, he went over and kicked tea table away, he said angrily:
"You dare not answer me, you insolent Horsemen."
Exos said nothing, he waved his hand and the tea table rose again and he continued to drink tea. Grim sighed and sat down in a chair, he said:
"Perhaps you know, my family is getting confused. There are a lot of mysteries that I probably don't know either. Elastor too, a nobody who is a lost big brother. Who is shaking my throne, why would father want him to be king when his aim is to overthrow him?"
Exos poured Grim a cup of tea. He lifted his cup and took a sip, the tea's sweet and warm taste relaxing his mind a bit. Grim said calmly:
"It's strange to talk to someone as quiet as you, but it's enough for someone to listen to me. I'm getting hopeless, for twenty years I've been trying to be worthy of the throne, to become the king my father could not become. The Tree of Nightmare is growing stronger, I can't do that. Although it is the source of the Dark Elf's power, it is time for us to take control. ."
Exos replied:
"Then become stronger, I Horseman of Famine will train you. While Elastor is growing stronger, you sit here waiting."
Grim smiled and said:
"I thought you wouldn't say it, so why do you want to help me? Feel sorry for me."
Exos replied:
"No, since I don't have anything to do here, it's boring."
Exos summoned the Space halberd and slammed the shaft on the floor, they were teleported to Exos's own space, which was like a giant white box. Grim summoned the Hollow sword and said:
"How are you going to train me?"
Exos replied:
"Give me all you have. In here, time separate from the outside, you can do all your deadliest attacks."
Grim said:
"With pleasure."
Grim lunged forward and slashed wildly at Exos, Exos backing down to dodge the slashes. Grim saw that Exos's dodging was very special, it was smooth and agile, he wondered:
"It's strange, even though I slashed in all directions, I couldn't hit him."
Exos lightly tapped the shaft halberd on Grim's head from where he did not know. Grim was surprised, he thought:
"An amazing speed."
Grim immediately swung his sword at Exos, but he was already behind him. Exos swung his halberd behind, and Grim immediately slid down to dodge. He swung his leg at Exos but he jumped high. Exos raised his halberd blade to slash down, Grim parried the slash and the blade of Space halberd right next to his head. Grim breathed continuously because of Exos's continuous and surprise attacks. Grim immediately said:
"The Predator! Smoke!"
The Predator was summoned and released smoke around them. Grim instantly melted into the smoke, he moved around Exos while he stood motionless. Grim was worried and wondered:
"Exos Warth, the fourth strongest Horsemen of the four Horsemen. I underestimated him, he really is a mighty warrior."
Grim said:
"A Thousand Blades, Slash!"
Grim unleashed a barrage of slashes from all directions at Exos. Exos swung his Space halberd around, launching thousands of crescent-shaped darts to parry each slash. A dart hit Grim and pushed him out of the smoke. The Predator rushed to attack Exos, but The Sins was suddenly summoned and pinned the hyena down with one hand. The smoke faded away and Exos withdrew his weapon, he said:
"Hmm, you haven't mastered your skills yet."
Grim sat up and replied:
"What do you mean? It took me two years to create that strongest move."
Exos spoke slowly:
"It may take you two years to create that move but how well you master it is another matter. We can practice here for a long time so let's start over."
The Sins released The Predator and withdrew. The Predator ran to Grim's side, helped him to his feet, and said:
"Master, let's keep fighting, let's kill like crazy, I'm so excited."
Grim smiled sinisterly, he replied:
"Listen Horsemen, my Elemental Spirit wants blood."
The Predator merged with the Hollow sword to create the Soulless sword. Grim charged and fought the Exos with his fighting style, the frenetic, fast, and brutal style of a warlike warrior. Grim and Exos continued to train together. Back to Elastor, after yesterday's battle, he woke up. Elastor said:
"Damn it, he..."
Elastor recalled about Dark Elastor's extraordinary power, Dark Elf's dark power turning him into a war-crazed beast, and Dark Elastor's words:
"You need me and I need you too, there's no denying that."
Elastor said:
"Perhaps it is true, the two of us are like two sides of the same coin, opposite but inseparable."
Elastor looked up at his chest and saw tiny The Star lying on his chest and staring at him. Elastor said:
"Uhh, what's wrong?"
The Star replied very quickly:
"I want to change my name, I don't accept the cute name The Star, I need a cooler name like The Knight, The Riser. Why The Star? I'm tired of that name"
Elastor tiredly covered his head with a pillow because of The Star's talkative nature. Suddenly The Star burst into tears, it said:
"But you know how sad I am, to have to say goodbye to you... But you really came back to bring me back, I'm so happy."
Elastor sat up and patted The Star's head, he said:
"I told you, you are my number one Elemental Spirit, no one can take your place as my best partner."
The Star wiped its tears and replied:
"Then... Change my name now!"
Elastor said dejectedly:
"AHHHHH!"
Elastor lay down on the bed again, The Star said:
"Just kidding, listen Elastor, thanks for bringing me back. Now I'll give you my true lightning powers."
Elastor sat up quickly and replied:
"What do you say? Your true power?"
The Star nodded and said:
"Yes, my lightning power has a fast speed and very high crit damage but it also has the weakness of needing to be recharged. During the journey I used a lot of electricity and now I'm running low, I needs to be recharged. With a big lightning bolt."
Elastor replied:
"Lightning? You mean lightning in nature."
The Star said:
"That's right, just three lightning bolts, my electricity will be fully charged and I will be ready to continue fighting."
Elastor replied:
"Where can we find it? Where can there be natural thunder?"
Elastor thought for a moment, then looked out the window at a very high mountain. Elastor said:
"Mount Ad Ruven, the highest mountain in the Highland Continent."
Elastor put The Star on his shoulder and ran for a book, flipping through it repeatedly to find the page he needed. Elastor stopped at a page about the Ad Ruven mountain, he said:
"This is it, the only place where there is natural thunder at the moment. Mount Ad Ruven, a mountain so high that it breaks through the clouds, thunder strikes the rock every day because of the metal in it. We can go up there to recharge you."
The Star replied excitedly:
"Let's go together."
The Star withdrew and Elastor went to see Eculida how to climb the Ad Ruven mountain. Back with Eva and Belle, they were sitting in Emanda's room, she drank a bottle of Elf and sang along. Eva and Belle sat looking at her, and Eva whispered to Belle:
"Uhh, why are we here?"
Belle replied:
"I don't know, Emanda does random things all of a sudden."
Emanda threw out the books continuously and then took out one, she said:
"Ah, here it is."
Emanda held a book titled "A Thousand Basic Spells" and approached Eva and Belle. Emanda said:
"Listen princess, you're an archer using the power of light but that's not enough. You need to learn more light magic."
Emanda threw the book to Eva and she grabbed it. Eva read the title:
"A Thousand Basic Spells, why is the title like a children's book?"
Emanda proudly replied:
"This is my greatest masterpiece. Learn magic from it."
Eva opened the book to read, but inside was written all Elvish, she said angrily:
"This is full of Elvish, how can I understand?!"
Emanda replied:
"Oh I forgot, let me find it again, where is the English version?"
Eva and Belle thought together:
"How many copies did she actually write?"
Then Emanda pulled out the book in English and gave it to Eva. Eva opened the book and read, in it were spells about light magic, she said:
"Wow that's impressive, there are so many good and beneficial spells, but how do I learn them all? Time is only today."
Emanda took a sip of Elf wine, wiped her mouth and confidently said:
"There's the number one wizard here and my student Belle too. We're not going to do all but the basics."
Eva said to Belle:
"You are a student of wizard Emanda?"
Belle replied:
"Yes, I learned magic from her."
Emanda said:
"Okay, let's see what we should learn first."
Eva replied:
"Here, flying magic."
Emanda said:
"Nah, it's too basic, learn the four-layer wall magic."
Eva and Belle gasped, they thought to themselves:
"Is it really that basic?"
Eva began the process of learning magic with Belle and Emanda. Returning to Elastor, after telling Eculida he was going to climb the Ad Ruven mountain, she immediately objected and said:
"No, climbing that mountain is too dangerous, thunder and lightning will prevent anyone who dares to climb."
Elastor replied:
"That's the only way to awaken my power of thunder. I must go to reach the greatest strength. Even if you oppose me, I will climb."
Eculida said:
"I'm worried about you my son. There are still many ways for you to become stronger, pray to the god Horux for him to help you."
Elastor replied angrily:
"It's just a waste of time, I'll gain my own power. Julia is waiting for me and I can't wait any longer."
Eculid said calmly:
"I know you're very worried but worrying won't solve anything. Tomorrow the important battle between the two kingdoms will begin and you will fight to save her."
Elastor replied:
"I don't care about your battle or something, I only care if I can save Julia or not. I'll climb the mountain by myself the traditional way."
Elastor leaving the Throne Room, Eculida said:
"You were always so cold and angry when you left the kingdom, why did you leave the kingdom, Elastor?"
Elastor stopped and replied:
"I don't want to stay in the place that has imprisoned me since I was a child, I want to be free and unimpeded."
Elastor left the Throne Room and headed towards the dungeon. Eculida was worried and thought to herself:
"Even though I tried, Elastor, I couldn't stop your decision. I was just trying to do everything to protect you, my son."
Down in the dungeon in the deepest part, there was a man chained up with a lot of automatic crossbows pointed at him. Of course, it's Zed, after he messed up, he was chained down here. Zed gets tired and says:
"Oh that's funny, someone get me out of here! I'm tired of being here with this guy!"
Near Zed's cell were Alata and Skeletor, who were playing and telling each other jokes. Alata's annoying and evil laughter made Zed's head hurt and tired like crazy. Zed said angrily:
"Why are you here and bothering me, Alata?"
Alata laughed and replied:
"I don't know, but I can't leave you alone in the dungeon so I came here to have fun."
Zed said tiredly:
"Haha, that's fun."
Suddenly Alata held out a bottle of Elf wine and said:
"Look, that Elf wine, I just stole it when Eva wasn't looking. What a nice day to try it out."
Zed instantly drooled from his craving for Elf wine, he said quickly:
"Alata! Give me a sip of Elf wine, one sip will satisfy my craving."
Alata replied:
"No, this is my first time drinking Elf wine, sorry but I'll drink with Skeletor."
Alata slowly enjoyed the Elf wine. He also poured a few drops of Elf wine into Skeletor's mouth. Alata cheered up and said happily:
"So happy, a warm taste, rich with wheat and fragrant flowers. So this is the Elf wine of legend?"
Zed became more hungry and released the darkness. He tugged on the chain causing all the crossbows to automatically shoot at him but the darkness protected him. Nothing could stop Zed when he was so hungry for Elf wine. Alata was startled and said:
"What the?"
Zed frantically broke the chain and rushed to Alata, screaming:
"Give me Elf wine!"
Alata hugged Skeletor and screamed in fear. Suddenly Elastor appeared and kicked Zed in the face causing him to back down. Zed hurt his nose and said:
"Damn Elastor, don't hurt me like that."
Alata sighed and said:
"Fortunately Elastor, you came to my aid in time."
Elastor replied:
"Yeah, and Zed."
Elastor grabbed Zed's shirt and said:
"Let's go."
Elastor pulled Zed out of the dungeon with Alata and Skeletor following. They mounted their horses and rode to the Ad Ruven mountain. Arrived at the foot of the mountain, Zed observed and said:
"So you want me to follow you up this mountain?"
Elastor replied:
"Yes, I need your dark element to protect me up there."
Zed said:
"So come on, I'm ready to do some crazy things."
Alata replied:
"I'm going too, I can climb up there to help you guys."
Elastor said:
"No, you're not physically strong enough to climb this cold mountain. Stay here and among the horses."
Alata replied:
"I can go."
Zed said:
"Sorry but this is too dangerous. Let's go, Elastor."
Elastor said to Alata:
"Sorry, but we're worried about you."
Elastor and Zed put on fur cloaks and climbed Ad Ruven together. Alata waited under a tree, he said:
"Sad, am I useless? Anyways, Skeletor, tell me more jokes."
Alata and Skeletor sat playing below. Zed and Elastor began to climb the snowy mountain high above. The snow was very thick and blurred their path. Zed said aloud:
"The snow is so thick, are we on the right track?"
Elastor went ahead and replied:
"Yeah, just go straight up and on."
Zed said:
"Why didn't you call him out?"
Elastor replied angrily:
"I'm not kidding, I don't want to see him anymore."
Zed said:
"He showed you his invincible dark power, which is your untapped potential. One day you'll need it."
Elastor replied:
"To be a madman like you, thanks but I don't need to."
Zed said:
"My dark power is number one so don't try to take that spot."
Elastor replied:
"Then why do you always lose or draw first in every battle?"
Zed said:
"Just to look at the enemy's situation and weaknesses."
Elastor and Zed tried to pass through the blizzard, suddenly Elastor saw someone's figure, he said:
"Strange, is someone following us?"
The figure turned and revealed that it was Julia, she smiled at him. Elastor said loudly:
"Julia!"
Elastor instantly ran to Julia. Zed chased after him and said:
"Elastor!"
Elastor reached out his hand to touch Julia, but the figure disappeared and Elastor slipped and fell into a canyon in front of him. Zed slid forward and grabbed Elastor's hand just in time, he said:
"Elastor wake up, Julia is with Grim, she can't be here. Hallucinations are blurring our way."
Zed pulled Elastor up and he breathed fastly, Elastor said:
"Damn, I'm thinking and worrying too much about Julia."
Zed replied:
"I know, we're all worried about her, not just you. But we'll bring her back."
Elastor said:
"Then let's move on."
Zed and Elastor got up and ran up the mountain. They ran very fast as if they were racing against each other even though the blizzard was still there and getting worse as they climbed. Zed said:
"Hey, avalanches won't happen right?"
Elastor replied:
"Depending on whether we see it, the avalanche happens very suddenly and we never know when it will."
Zed and Elastor ran and jumped over the obstacle in their way. Suddenly the mountain shook, Zed and Elastor stopped and Zed said:
"Ohhh, great, it happened."
An avalanche took place, tons of snow were pouring down on Zed and Elastor's heads. Zed said:
"The Knight!"
The Knight was summoned and it immediately created a dark shield around Zed and Elastor. The avalanche hit the shield so hard that it cracked, Zed said in confusion:
"Ah shit, this crack, I didn't expect it to happen."
Tons of snow were covering the dark shields and pressing them down. The crack grew larger because the dark shield couldn't hold it much longer. Zed and Elastor summoned weapons, Zed said:
"We just have to take a risk."
Zed and Elastor said together:
"The Knight! The Star! Merged with my sword."
Zed and Elastor summoned their elemental weapons. Zed and Elastor swung their swords at the snow above their heads and unleashed a dark tornado and massive lightning that destroyed the snow creating a large hole. Zed and Elastor quickly climbed up before the snow fell. The snow began to shake, Elastor said:
"Zed!"
Zed and Elastor stuck their swords into the snow wall and put their feet on the wall. Zed and Elastor sprinted across the snow wall and dragged their weapons to keep them moving. Behind them was the snow filling their empty space. Elastor threw the Star greatsword high, Zed immediately grabbed the hilt and Elastor grabbed Zed's leg. The Star greatsword pulled them out of the hole and they landed in the snow. Zed and Elastor withdrew their weapons, Elastor said:
"Why does that always happen?"
Zed and Elastor continued to climb the Ad Ruven mountain. They had climbed very high and the air was thinner. Zed said:
"It's hard to breathe, right, where are we?"
Elastor replied:
"We're almost there, the higher we go, the more thunder appears."
Zed said:
"You owe me ten barrels of Elf wine."
Suddenly a bolt of lightning fell right in front of Zed and Elastor, startling them and backing them down. Elastor said:
"We're here."
Zed and Elastor looked up and saw huge lightning bolts striking into a large area. Zed said in surprise:
"So much lightning, what shall we do now?"
Elastor replied:
"The Star, tell me, what do we do next?"
The Star said:
"Find me the biggest lightning and hit only one spot, that's the perfect lightning I need."
Elastor replied:
"Going into that lightning strike area?"
Zed looked into a thousand lightning bolts and said in fear:
"Ok, good night, I'm going home. No way I'm going in there."
Elastor immediately ran into the lightning strike area. Zed was tired and said dejectedly:
"Oh great."
Zed immediately followed Elastor. They ran in a zigzag pattern to dodge the lightning. Zed said:
"Hey, where's what you're looking for?"
Elastor replied:
"I don't see it around here, look for the biggest lightning bolt and hit only one spot. Why does the condition sound so stupid?"
Zed said:
"The Knight! Help me locate what we need."
The Knight was summoned and ran after Zed, it released dark threads on the ground and spread across the area. The Knight felt the rock shake for a moment, then said:
"Everyone, follow me."
The Knight led them to the lightning they needed. Seeing the lightning they needed, Elastor said:
"Great, support me Zed."
Zed created small dark shields on Elastor's head to prevent lightning from hitting him. Elastor summoned the Star greatsword and ran faster. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck right behind Zed, knocking him to the ground. Elastor immediately turned around and caught Zed, he said:
"I won't leave you behind."
Zed replied:
"So lucky for me."
Zed and Elastor ran through the lightning storm and reached the lightning they needed. Elastor let Zed sit down and ran to the lightning, Zed said:
"It's yours."
Elastor stood under that lightning and raised the Star greatsword to the sky, he said:
"The Star, recharge the thunder."
The first bolt of lightning slammed down on the blade and shocked Elastor's entire body. He endured and knelt down. The Star said:
"One bolt of lightning, two more."
Elastor stood up and said loudly:
"Then keep going!"
The second lightning struck and paralyzed Elastor's body, the blade of the Star greatsword glowing a thunderous golden color. Elastor lay down and said:
"There's only one more bolt of lightning, we have to fight."
Elastor slowly stood up despite his heavy body. Elastor raised his sword to the sky and said:
"Awaken my power!"
The strongest lightning struck Elastor, its pressure was so great, it slowly burned Elastor's body. Zed stood up and said:
"Damn it, I have to get him out."
Zed tried to run to Elastor when he was stopped by thunder. The Star told Elastor:
"Master, do you want to know why I don't want to merge with you?"
Elastor replied in his mind:
"Why?"
Elastor endured the last lightning bolt, his whole body burned black and slowly lay down. Elastor gradually stopped breathing. The Star said in excitement:
"Because I want my star to have the coolest form, for example a cool thunder armor. The form of combining with the Spirit is all too familiar, so what about the elemental form."
Elastor's entire body released a large bolt of lightning between his chest and on his limbs. The lightning was so loud that it could be heard below the Ad Ruven mountain. Startled, Alata looked up at the mountain and said:
"Woah, how loud is the thunder?"
Alata looked up at the top of the mountain and saw that lightning from Elastor. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning speeding down the mountain stopped at Alata. Zed was dropped by someone, he turned to the person and said:
"Then congratulations Elastor, your new form."
Elastor gained a new form, a very powerful form of himself with the power of thunder awakened. Elastor turned back to normal with his left eye still having small flashes of lightning. Elastor said:
"I'm ready."
