Capítulo 61: Water Prison

Elric glared back at the hostile giant octopus when his instincts kicked again for the second time.

"From the left..." Elric rolled down to his right side just right before a silver narwhale with five meter-long front tusk swished by aiming at his upper body.

"now from right..." Elric moved back at his left just as a black narwhale passed barely avoiding being skewered by two deadly narwhales. Elric thought the charge attacks were finally over when he felt the white sand he was standing at moved.

Jump!

Two huge claws reached out to clip Elric but he managed to leap upwards just avoiding the attack. Right after missing its first sneak attack, the red giant crab continued to chase after Elric by flapping its legs!

Wooosh! Woosh! Woosh!

Elric narrowly dodged every clip of the giant crab's claw while the silver and black narwhale would also contribute by whizzing in from time to time at an unexpected angle. As much as he wanted to fight back, Elric knew that it could only bring on more wrath from the water Elementals instead knowing that these exit guardians are creatures appointed by the Lord of Water Realm; and the favor he would ask for in the future might just be as good as impossible.

Thanks to Elric's extraordinary agility, sharp eyes and, almost unlimited stamina; he managed to escape from his attackers and kept a safe distance away. Quickly, he found himself in a wide area with a better view of the location. But just when he thought he was finally safe, -

FWOOOSH~

A thick cloud of black ink has covered his entire view!

That darn octopus!

Elric forgot that there is still that giant octopus sneaking in his back with its camouflage. Elric squeezed his eyes to enhance his vision but the black ink was too concentrated that even his dragon eyes were unable to discern his surroundings.

"This is bad." since he wasn't able to use his vision currently, Elric closed his eyes and switched to maximizing his senses of touch, smell, and hearing instead. But for some reason, this black ink was also capable of making him lose his sense of direction.

"Huh? Why are they distancing away from me?" Elric was able to feel his attackers using heat and vibration in the water. He was surprised to realize that instead of attacking while he was visually impaired, they chose to back out instead.

Knowing that moving recklessly was too dangerous, Elric decided to keep a defensive stance and prepared himself for any sneak attack just like before.

Time passed by while Elric was still inside the thick fog of black ink when he realized something.

"Huh?!" Elric could not help but standstill to his next revelation. The black ink has finally dissapeared and his vision laid down to thousands of sea creatures, mermaids and mermen, sea serpents and even a sea dragon has surrounded him from every direction.

They all kept a hundred meters distance from him but each of them had a hostile glare towards Elric.

Elric knew that escaping is now futile so he decided not to move and face them all instead.

"I am impressed you managed to stay alive despite the numbers of my Gate Guardians..."

Elric's eyes traced the sound coming from a noble-looking merman with bluish skin. He stood tall atop a giant turtle that looked just like OMG Dash, however, this turtle is almost thrice the size of OMG Dash himself.

"I am Aghus, the Lord of the Water Elemental Realm and..." Aghus looked at Elric with a creepy smile in his face.

"you are under arrest for trespassing in my domain."

Elric did not expected a warm welcome much be he never knew he will be arrested right away upon meeting the lord of the water elemental himself. With unfaced determination, EIric bowed down.

"I apologized for trespassing into your domain and killing some of your precious guardians, however, I only came here because of a mission I must complete and me killing one of your Eels was only due to self-defense. What's more I-"

"Silence!" With an authoritative gaze, Aghus added, "Get him and throw him into the prison. If he resists, just cut his head off and bring him to me for dinner."
