The reason the planet itself was not available via plain sight is because of an ominous dark cloud that has been covering the entire planet. It was too black that it was able to absorb light causing it to blend into the vast dark-violet sky of the Elemental realm.

Not to mention, those clouds also serves as protection that will unhesitantly bombard anyone who dares to approach the planet from any side. Unless one had authority from the Lord of the Lightning Elemental Realm, forcing one's way inside is basically a suicide attempt.

Elric continued to watch how Forgar was first introduced to the unique world, with the help of the Lord, he managed to adapt to the new place and power in no time.

Then it was followed by intense training of him fully a.s.similating to the new power, breaking through the King Dragon realm with a perfect foundation and even reaching the peak level of a Dragon King.

Until the present day finally came for him to go back to the human realm with a mission to catch the two Fleeing Eastern Dragons according to the command of the same mysterious woman in a black robe.

Before the mysterious robed woman, Forgar and the Lord of the Lighting realm bowed with respect as if she was the real lord of the said realm.

"Catch those two Eastern Dragons and bring me that old woman with them." The mission was given by the mysterious figure with full authority.

Elric saw how Forgar, together with the Lord of the Lightning ELemental Realm went through the dimensional portal without any problems, it did not take long for them to appear right in front of the two weakened Lesse and Long on their badly wounded Dragon forms.

But with their arrival, those bunch of opportunist swiftly escaped the moment they saw the overwhelming energy from Forgar and the small bluish wisp with him. 

"Who-F-Forgar?" Lesse immediately recognized Forgar as one of the two figures that popped out of a dimensional portal. She knew him based on the Dragon shape, his aura that he emanated, and the eyes that revealed the same arrogance and pride of the strongest Dragon from the Southern Region.

The last time that Lesse saw Forgar was during the battle against the mad Elric ten years ago, right before Forgar suddenly disappeared in the middle of the battle. 

Seeing the hostile intentions in Forgar's eyes, Long immediately moved in front to cover his sister. His face filled with burning determination together with an agitated body.

"Are you here to stop us too? Hah! You came in just the perfect time. I had been holding back myself trying to get even against those Dragons! Don't you ever think you can still bully us now that we have reached King Dragon realm!"

Long, finally unable to hold himself after seeing one of the enemy Dragons, unleashed a powerful green fire without hesitation. 

BWAAAAAAHHH~

"Long wait!-" Lesse felt like something was wrong with regards to their newfound enemies, however, Long had already covered his opponent's place with a destructive green fire that left behind a searing ground of inferno. 

Forgar on the other side just smirked in confidence. Before the blazing fire hit them, their body suddenly exploded in lightning-fast speed.

Unlike the bluish wisp that chooses to stay away, his body moved forward swiftly advancing towards Long while dodging the fire like a snake flexibly twisting to avoid the hot burning rope.

"So fast!" Long thought as his eyes struggled to keep up with his enemy's movements.

Realizing that he missed his enemy, Long immediately swiped his Dragon flame, in his final attempt trying to get Forgar, but the latter just keeps on advancing and before he could even finish casting, Forgar has already revealed his long sharp scythe, crackling in lightning, swooping to cut him into two!

And the next moment, Lesse and Long saw a blinding lightning bolt that exploded from Forgar's body.

"Lightning affinity!?"

KRKAKAKAAAABOOOOM!~

Lesse and Long did not last a single minute against the peak Forgar in his Lightning Elemental Dragon form. 

"These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!" Elric's eyes suddenly opened in shock as he saw how they unhesitantly unleashed a series of merciless shocking bolts to the two Eastern Dragon that was trying to protect his grandma's unconscious body.

Despite their Dragon King realm stage, the two did not last long through the constant barrage of lightning from Forgar and the bluish wisp. However, something else caught Elric's eyes that really caught him in questions.

The real defeat of Long and Lesse was not caused by the lightning bolts, but by the spiritual shock from Kahayag who suddenly woke up in the middle of lightning attacks. Elric's restraining spell on her was undone by the purifying lighting!

The lightning attacks were not just meant to incapacitate the two Eastern Dragons but also to remove the soul restraining spell placed by Elric on Kahayag. One must know that despite Kahayag losing her power, her natural affinity to lightning energy is still present in her, thus the lighting attacks she had just experienced served as a charging opportunity for her to recover a little bit of her strength and the soul binding spell.

THUD!~

THUD!~

Two loud cras.h.i.+ng sound from the two unconscious Eastaern Dragons followed as Forgar and the bluish wisp finally halted their attacks. Standing unharmed between the two long Eastern Dragons is the old woman who Elric holds dear aside from the current soul residing inside.

With an irritated look on Kahayag, who is currently controlling grandma's body, she walked close to Forgar and the bluish wisp.

"They are waiting for you." The wisp's voice suddenly echoed.

"Took you so long," Kahayag replied coldly without a hint of fear from the two.

"It's not our fault that you lost to your own great-grandchildren." the bluish wisp replied with a mocking tone.

"Hmp!~" Kahayag turned around, trying to hide her irritated face.

Elric, upon seeing this mumbled to himself,

"That is weird. I scanned Kahayag's soul memory but I have never got any clue regarding her connection to the Outsiders.. Or could it be... the soul memories were modified?!"

She acted as if she knew them at the first place!

Next, Kahayag lifted the two Eastern Dragons with her own psychic ability with ease, and with the help from the bluish wisp, a dimensional portal back to the lightning ELemental realm cracked open behind her.

"Wait. Where is the cursed knife?" The voice of the bluish wisp halted Kahayag before she could jump into the portal. "What I knew is that you are supposed to present it back to his majesty." the bluish wisp added.

Turning her head back to face the two, Kahayag replied,

"It will be given to his majesty via premium package."

Then what Elric saw next surprised him even more.

Before forgar and the bluish wisp continued to go, Kahayag's voice suddenly caught him.

"Oh yeah Elric." before Kahayag steps into the realm portal, she looked back straight at Forgar's eyes. Her gaze filled with a.s.surance as if she knew Elric will get Forgar's soul memory in the first place!

"If you want to save your grandma and these siblings, you better bring the cursed knife with you when you come to the Lightning Elemental Realm. I will be waiting on our round two great-grandsons."

Kahayag smiled with utter wickedness before her figure finally dipped into the dimensional portal followed by the two ma.s.sive Eastern Dragon's body before it closed, explaining the sudden disappearance of their trace. 

Elric finally stopped his soul search. His eyes were cold and glowing in enmity. 

"I have underestimated her."

Elric was confident that Kahayag has been neutralized with a simple soul binding spell. But as it turns out, even her complete surrender and losing her power was part of her plan. He could not help but feel as if everything that has been happening so far was under her palms.

Not to mention, even seems to have another ace under her sleeves. The moment she looked at Forgar's eyes to send a message to Elric in the future, breaking the boundary of time, as if her message was already been fated.

"An ability to see the future..." Elric mumbled to himself as his head started picking up the clues.

Staring at the restrained Forgar, Elric immersed himself into deeper thoughts.

"The voice of the mysterious woman, the figure, and those extremely familiar eyes. could it be?"

Elric started to have suspensions. It seems like all this time, he is being used as a p.a.w.n. As if there was a bigger hand pus.h.i.+ng the entire plate where he was playing.

"The Outsiders... a conspiracy perhaps?"

Elric's eyes continued to show doubts and questions until a sudden flash of an idea came to his mind.

"The Lord of the Elemental Realm knows more. I should be able to get the final piece of this puzzle..." Elric thought as his eyes started to glow with an unyielding spirit.

Forgar on the other hand remained unmoving, his mind preparing to break free from Elric's soul shackle spell. His bones have long recovered and his wounds are non to be found! What he needs is just a sudden full push and he should be able to get Elric off guard.

With murderous intent bubbling out of his muscles, Forgar started gathering his strength to finally do his surprise counter attack!

This time, he will make sure to kill Elric in one good blow!

"Its time!"

ROOOOAAA!-ACCGGHK!?~

But before Forgar could even raise his ma.s.sive Dragonhead, a Spear of Fire had been plunged deep from the top of his skull.

His eyes remained indignant and at shock of his loss while his life slowly faded out of his convulsing body.
