DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 63: The Six Realms
Elliot didn't waste any second more and dashed towards the door. He needed to get his sword to fight properly. After all, he still lacked offensive skills to ward off against enemies.
He kicked the guards in their faces and stepped on their heads to pass through them. When Elliot reached the doorframe, two guards blocked him. He could see his scabbard resting on a bench inside the preparation room.
Only if I could get it. He thought when a notification popped up.
'Skill [ The Creator's Sloth ] level up.'
[ The Creator's Sloth ]
Level 2
// The Creator can retrieve his items by looking at them in a 10-meter radius.
"The Creator's Sloth!" Elliot casted and reached out his hand.
His sword shook from his scabbard before it blasted towards him in a blink of an eye. "Hasty Aspire!"
Elliot kicked one of the guard's chest, reaching out his hand in the air where the hilt of his sword settled on his grip perfectly. He rotated his body and slashed the chests of the guards before he landed on the ground.
"Well, ain't that useful," Elliot smirked. "Supreme Malevolence!"
"Dauntless Shock!" Biankka yelled. Her spell caused the people arround her experience a strong wave of force, knocking them back and stunning them. "You should feel the wrath of an Eternal!"
She grit her teeth and slammed her hands together, createting sharp slashes made of shock that Lance blocked with his body.
Connor morphed into his Infernal form. This made Biankka shiver in fear. With eyes wide ws saucers, she stuttered, "W-What are you doing here?"
"Me?" Connor pointed at himself.
Biankka looked at Ed, "Allowing the Ruler of Inferno to team up with you so you can win against me, huh?
The Consort fixed her composure, trying to hide the fact that she's afraid.
"Scared?" Lance smirked.
She grit her teeth and took a step back. "I will be back. And when I do, I will not only take your ability. But all of your abilities!"
Biankka leaped, her wide gown following her. She turned mid-air and disappeared into the dark skies. Her guards bowed their heads and disappeared along with their leader.
"What was that all about?" Elliot asked, walking over his friends. He turned to Axla but she had the same look as Biankka. They had fear in their eyes.
"A-An Eternal," she breathed out. She walked over to Connor and touched him. Connor flinched that made her back away. "I never thought I could see another Eternal."
"An Eternal?" Elliot asked. "What do you mean?"
"In the universe lies Six Realms," Xelon said and pulled Axla. Connor had reverted back to his form and silently hid behind Lance. "Terra, Heaven, Hell, Draco, Inferno, and Etheoria. Although Dracon, the home of dragons, were on a different realm, they lie on the same plane as Terra. Just below the heavens."
"You mean dragons aren't from our realm?" Lance asked to which Xelon shook his head.
"No, they are superior to any beast in Terra therefore, they have a different Eternal."
"I think I've heard about those," Connor said. "From the Priestess. She said Eternals rule over realms, but I didn't get what she really meant."
"It means what it means," Xelon said. "Eternals rule over the Six Realms. They protect their people from harm and make sure not to abuse their power."
"But what about humans?" Elliot raised the question. "I don't think humans have an Eternal. After all, our population is high and we have a lot of diverse beasts in our realm. How do we know if we still have an Eternal?"
"I believe one kingdom knows the existent of the Terran Eternal," Axla said. "But due to special warriors called Adventurers, the title 'Prince of Terra' had long since became dormant."
"Excuse me for a moment," Lance said and walked to the side.
With his enhanced eyesight, Elliot saw a fabric-like tear on Lance's shoulder. He didn't know what it was but he was going to ask Lance about it later. For now, they had to prepare if Biankka ever did return. Axla said that she had made deals with the darkness and she would not hesitate to do it again.
–
Biankka screamed in rage when she got back to her keep. A strong wave of shock flipped everything in the room, leaving no item untouched.
"How dare he?!" Biankka yelled. "Ruler of Inferno teaming up with the Heir of Etheoria. We should be waging war against them, not making petty relationships!"
"Madam Consort–"contemporary romance
An old man that was one of the advisors wasn't able to finish when a hole was punched through his chest.
"I am the Duchess!" Biankka yelled. "I am no longer the Consort! I have become an Eternal!"
She turned to a well in the middle of her keep and walked over. The well had a pitch black color on it and it seemed like there were whispers coming from it.
"Queen of Hell," she called out. "It seemed like the Ruler of Inferno sided with the Heir. Lend me more of your powers."
"In exchange for this old man's soul?" A voice from the well whispered back. "I want two more."
Biankka turned to her advisors and smirked. They tried to run away but it was already too late. Biankka had already pierced their chests, leaving a large hole in it.
"This should suffice," the voice in the well said. "Receive my powers."
A wave of black aura came from the well and enveloped Biankka. She felt her powers growing, making her grin and laugh devilishly.
"I will rule!" she yelled while laughing. "I will rule!"
–
The group headed back to the guild with more problems than they had before. They originally planned to take a rest and relax but it seemed like problems loved them so much. It keeps popping up from random places and random times.
"Cheer up guys," Lance smiled. "At least we now have answers about Ed's origin. We won't be aiming endlessly looking for answers anymore."
"Yes," Connor clapped his hands. "Besides, I could just throw you all into a large cauldron and boil the water. I'll buy herbs in the market tomorrow. This is going to be so fun!"
"You're just happy because you found out that you can scare people with your other form, Mr. Godfather," Hope retorted.
Connor scoffed and ruffled the younger boy's hair. "You're just jealous because you can't scare anyone with your current dragon form."
"Speaking of, how do you think I could grow into a large dragon?" Hope asked. "I will ask around tomorrow!"
"Don't just ask around," Lance clicked his tongue. "Ask Kian. He should know since he had the same experience as you."
"Speaking of experience," Connor flicked Elliot and Ed's foreheads. "What's up with our two E's?"
Both Elliot and Ed snapped out from their deep thoughts. Ed was the first time to respond, "I'm worried about Axla and her brothers. Do they really have to spy back to Etheoria?"
"We can't do anything about that but to hope–"
"That's me!" Hope interrupted.
Connor glared at him and continued, "Hope, not you Hope, they don't get caught."
Lance was the one who was holding the reins. He turned to Elliot and asked him, "What about you, Elliot?"
"I'm just sad we didn't get to relax and hang out," Elliot sighed. "Among other things. But it's mostly because of that."
"Well lucky for you, we're here," Lance stopped the wagon and hopped off.
"Where is he going?" Connor asked and got down after.
Lance took the wagon under a tree and tied the horses there, leavinf plenty of food and water. He then walked ovet to the side of the road, just where the forest was and ushered them to come over.
"Where are we going?" Elliot asked but received no answer. Lance continued walking to the forest until the others heard a sound of flowing water.
"I-Is that…" Elliot trailed off and ran to Lance who stopped. "Woah!"
There was a large rock that has a water flowing through it from a spring that trailed down from a hole on top of the rock. The large rock had a small pit in the middle where the water fills it and the water flows through a spout that created a small stream on the ground.
"What is this?" Elliot asked.
"Apparently, a group of Adventurers made this as a secret hiding spot. I found this when I was looking for a Jade Beetle," Lance grinned and hurriedly took his dress shirt off.
Elliot glanced at Lance's shoulder but the tear he saw from the night before wasn't there anymore.
"Let's go?" Lance offered. Connor was the first one to run to the rock and climbed on it, dipping himself down the water.
"Guys, it's refreshing!" Connor cried in happiness.
"That's only because you're a flaming tattooed dude," Elliot snorted and followed him. Their friends followed and they relaxed with the cold flowing water. "I guess we could still relax after all."
