Chapter 98: IX Great Change
Chapter 98: IX Great Change
After taking Elijah to a bed in a small camp near the monolith, the squad leader send a few soldiers to hunt the dinner as he and the rest of the soldiers were seating outside the tent Elijah was.
The squad leader looked towards the tent Elijah was and seeing his trembling body trembling in pain and then he glanced at the only woman in their small squad.
"Lily, you're the only one in our squad that was born in the B region, right? I heard that for you all, you won't be affected by the pressure and the piercing of the pure vitality until you have formed your Mortal Will Armament, right?
The female with a long black hair called Lily nodded her head before she started remembering her horrible sensation. "Right, the moment I broke into the Mortal Will Realm and formed my Mortal Will Armament, I felt an enormous pressure smashing me on the ground as great amounts of vitality was shoot into my body. I do not wish to experience that sort of feeling. It was like a million fire ants walking over me."
"You are right, but from the look of that boy I don't think he is in much pain. I believe it'll take about an hour or two before he get used to the pressure and the pure vitality." The squad leader looked to the wrist watch he had on his left hand to check the hours. "It's already five in the afternoon, let's wait for Sonny and the other to bring the meat as we wait here."
Time passed.
Two hour later, the soldiers who went to bring meat were back bringing a few dozen wolves. Sonny who was sent to bring the meat left the wolves with the other to prepare and walked towards the squad leader.
"Boss, they are already preparing the dinner. How is that boy who just arrived?"
"I don't know why he is still unconscious so I send Lily stay with him." Said the squad leader in confusion. The other twelve soldiers were also puzzled about what was happening with the boy when the female soldier, Lily, ran to them while shouting.
"Boss! I need your help, something is happening with the boy."
"What!" Hearing this, the squad leader and the other beside him ran to the tent where Elijah was and they were all shocked by grey lightning bolts coming out of the tent.
Of course, every single one of these soldiers were above the fifth realm, so the lightning bolts could not hurt them and they all managed enter the tent safely.
Inside the tent, Elijah was still unconscious, but there was an luminous figure with the same size the fairies and the same face as Elijah. Although this youth figure was incorporeal, it exuded tremendous might and a pure energy that even the squad leader did not know anything about. This figure was holding lightning in one hand and a gray vortex in the other that seemed to absorb everything around it, even the air.
Seeing this incorporeal figure, the squad leader and his soldiers all reached the same thought.
"Divine Body..." Said the squad leader in a low voice and hearing what he said, they all raised their weapons and pointed at the boy.
"Boss, you said [Divine Body], is this youth one of 'them'?"Lily, the only female in the squad never saw one of 'them' before and could not help but ask out of curiosity.
"I don't know if he is one of 'them'. He could be a refugee who discovered the truth about 'them' and decided to escape to the Mortal Alliance, but we need to decide what to do fast because if he is really one of 'them' we will have to dispose of him." Before they could decide what to do, they saw an silver-white light and an blood red vitality covering Elijah.
At the same time in the great hall, the golden gate was shaking more than everything and the same silver-white light on Elijah's body rushed out the golden gate and swallowed Elijah's Spirit Seal that he formed on the first realm of the Supreme Origin Art and the light around the spirit seal slowly solidified in a silver-white human form.
At the same time, grey smoke appeared out of nowhere and covered Elijah making so no one would see what was happening and Shadow's avatar appeared by his side together with Cassie and the four fairies.
"Do you four know what is happening to Elijah." Shadow asked the fairies with eyes full of urgency and worry.
"We don't know what is happening to master, only that we're kicked out of his soul and that something is happening there, but we think it would not be wise to interfere with it." Said the fairies in unison. Right after they said it, Elijah spit a lot of blood as an small blood pellet leaved his mouth.
The golden rune shined on the blood pellet at the same time the golden gate started to shake once again and all the 98 runes engraved on the gate lit up and fled towards the blood pill rushing out of Elijah's mouth and merging with the pellet that turned into a bloody human figure.
At the same time, Elijah's Divine Body devoured the entire Energy Lake that was growing inside him.
After some time, three small Elijah emerged above Elijah. One incorporeal, one common full of mortality and the third and last was one exact the same as the real Elijah, but this one was wearing a white suit and holding an old pocket watch in his hand while looking at Shadow's avatar with emotion in his small eyes, but no one managed to notice that.
