Blood Type: Dragon 212 Tunnel Defend

Watching the millions of Shadows, splitting and flying their way towards the five Elemental Planets like an endless dark cloud hovering on the purple sky, the three red eyes of the Emperor glowed with excitement.

He turned around and faced the ma.s.sive black serpent with rapidly warping black hole eyes and said,

"I appreciate your a.s.sistance with this opportunity to take over this entire realm. You may close the tunnel now." 

Hearing the latter, the giant serpent's black hole eyes finally calmed down while the dimensional tunnel closed like a quickly st.i.tched open wound. Then, its loud and domineering voice echoed,

"And how about those bigger ones?" 

"They are reserved for a very special purpose.", replied the Emperor with a murderous gaze. Apparantly, not all of the Shadow armies from the Realm of Darkness have been moved to the Elemental Realm. 

There are a few special ones that are left behind intended for later purposes.

Then the ma.s.sive black serpent faced the Emperor together with the conspiring Elemental Lords and a black-robed woman. A certain black snake can also be seen floating on the side, shaking like an electrified worm after its last fight with the black-robed woman called Kahilum.

"As long as you keep to your promise that you can help me find a trace of Kaora or that dragon called Elric within two days. Else, I don't mind having you and your people as an added flavor as I devour this realm as well." Added the ma.s.sive black serpent.

The Emperor calmly stare at the flying Phoenix and the latter seems to have understood its intention. Swiftly, the Phoenix's high-pitched voice came,

"Rest a.s.sured oh G.o.dly Beast, the moment I recover enough of my strength in the next two days, I will immediately cast the Fire of Future and will give you the best advice on when and how to catch those elusive ones." the ma.s.sive Phoenix respectfully explained.

The Great Seer's ability to see a vision of the future is a unique skill that she was born with. It was also for this reason that she was able to climb the pinnacle of Fire Elemental's power and become the majestic firebird that she is now.

Unfortunately, though her power was special, a single glance at the future would always consume about eighty percent of her Elemental powers. Making her incredibly weak and risking being devoured by the other Fire Elementals while her consciousness and power are taken over.

"Then I will be back in the next two days. Until then, enjoy your time." 

The ma.s.sive black serpent's body rose up while a dimensional crack opened above and the snake's extremely long body went in at an accelerated rate, like a black spaghetti strand being sucked by a hungry dimensional mouth.

Now that the heavy pressure caused by the G.o.dly beast is gone, everyone's gaze instinctively followed a single figure - the Emperor of the Realm Darkness.

"What now?" asked the black-robed woman standing behind the Emperor.

"We have two days to take over this entire realm." The emperor replied confidently as he gazed at the purple sky filled by the Shadow army. With just one look, he could tell just how excited those dark creatures to finally have a taste of the colorful world of the Elementals, and for later, the Human realm.

"I'd say two days is too long. Let's take over this entire realm now!"

KYHIAAAAA!~

KHIAAAA!~

KHIAAAAAAH!~

The Emperor bellowed eagerly as his dark warriors replied with their own weird agitated sounds. And with a single wave of the Emperor's hand, the Elemental Lords, the Shadow Kings, and the millions of Shadow figure started their full march towards the four colorful planets of the Elemental Realm.

***

An hour after the invasion...

At the tunnel entrance that leads to the hollow world of the Water Elemental Realm, the numerous guardian Eels are currently having the busiest day of their lives as they struggled to fend off the unending numbers of the Shadow creatures.

The Shadows are currently taking the form of tailed slithering Shadow critters as their adaptive means to the liquid world.

Their bodies have adjusted to look like Shadow mermen but with an extremely agile body and can blend to the shadows on contact.

BZZT!~ BZZZT!~

KHIAAAAH!~

KHIAAAH!~

The sound of the countless Shadows echoed across the dark long tunnel guarded by the Eels.

KRAAAKAABOOOM!~

KRAAK!BOOOM!~

A couple of lightning explosions would also rattle the area from time to time with every attempt of the dark creatures.

The guardian Eels have already evolved to their electric Eel forms, trying their best to stop the Shadows. The lightning bolts that these creatures managed to create apparently worked just perfect against these creatures of darkness.

BOOOM!

KRAKAABOOOM!~

Unfortunately, their electrical capacity are extremely limited and the longer the battle lasts, the weaker their lightning powers become.

"Keep going. Those Eels are starting to slow down. They are reaching their limit! Just imagine the beautiful and delicious colorful creatures waiting for us from behind that tunnel!"

A certain Shadow that stood out from the rest is a King level Shadow creature called Koto. He is currently taking the form of a bigger merman with two forked tails behind. His face resembled a black inked praying mantis, its two circle eyes reflected a different kind of warped view of the area.

"Do not forget the delicious meat and body of those water Elementals that has greeted us! Go! Do not hesitate! No more boring black world for us! No more dull and lifeless atmosphere! This is the time! Its the meat and life to die for!" 

Following under his command are more than five hundred thousand of Shadow army pa.s.sing over him like a flood of black rampaging water. He is responsible for the first wave of attack in taking over the Water Elemental Realm. 

BOOOM!

BOOOM!

BOOOM!

KRAKAABOOOM!~

More lightning explosions came from the entrance of the tunnel. The crazed and hungry Shadow creatures that were caught by the powerful lightning were all shattered into black dust, the same as what happened to the Shadow creatures that Elric has destroyed.

Though the Shadows are extremely weak against lightning attacks, the other form of the Eel's physical offense proved to be worthless against the creatures of darkness.

The Shadows have the innate ability to dematerialize their body as long as their were no lightning elements interrupting the air. And right now, the electrical transformation of the Eel guardians was just a perfect deterrent against these creatures.

But the question remains, until when?

KHIAAA!~

BOOOOM!~

KHIAAAA!~

KHIAAA!~

KHIAAAAA!

With every ten Shadows falling on the lightning attacks of the Eel guardians, more than fifty others will replace.

CHIIIAAAAA!~

A loud cry came from of the gigantic Eels on the entrance, one has finally taken a bite on the dust.

A celebratory shout from the King Shadow followed, "Finally! Feast on them! Enjoy! Enjoy! This realm is ours now!" 

CHIIIAAAAA!~

CHIIIAAAAA!~

And it did not take long, as two more of the Eels have finally collapsed from the Shadow's relentless attack. It turns out that these poor guardian has finally used up all of its electrical charges and is now back to just being a gigantic Eels being peeled slowly by the thousands of black Shadows.

The moment a Shadow grabs a hold of the Eels' body, their mouth would suddenly stretch far too much from their face's proportion and bite a chunk full of fresh Eel's meat - a delicacy never ever found on the dull and gloomy Realm of Darkness where they came from.

Soon enough as expected, the rest of the Eel guardians has fallen into the hungry mouths of the furious Shadows.

Chomp!

KRAMB!~

Chomp!~Chomp!

KRAMB!~

Like speeding black army ants, the Shadows would cover every nook and cranny of the Eel's ma.s.sive body, munching on them until not even a bone is left!

A few minutes later, the tunnel entrance to the hollow world of the water Elemental Realm is finally cleared from its Elemental Guardians. And without further hesitation, the pitch-black wave of the hundred thousand Shadows flowed in like a torrent of black water, not even a trace of the Eels' bone was left behind!

SHHOOOOOOOOGH!~

TUDUDUDDUUDUDUD!~

On the other end of the tunnel, thousands of merman soldiers are standing on guard. Each wielding a golden spear while a heavy golden armor protected their bodies. Their eyes revealed a fearful yet determined gaze.

SHHOOOOOOOOGH!~

The huge number and speed of the incoming Shadows created loud reverberations on the receiving end. The mermen soldiers could already feel their scales tingling up for the incoming battle. Their mind has long decided that they will defend their realm even if they have to die.

The tunnel was incredibly long, a good twenty kilometers is a good estimate. The Shadows were incredibly fast especially that the tunnel was incredibly dark, and they can freely move their way around however they likes.
