Chapter 309 I Can Feel It
When Theron saw the magic circle appear above them, he thought he was hallucinating. And when he saw the lower body parts of two massive figures making their way out of the magic circle, he thought he had finally lost it.
It wasn\'t until the three elders and Monryck raised their heads and saw the same thing he did, that was when he knew that he wasn\'t hallucinating nor had he lost it.
This happened around the time Orun saw the explosion caused by Cerberus mindlessly rampaging about with its fire breath.
The two circles hovering above them are from Orun activating his elemental creation ability to bring about Efreet and Salamander\'s descension.
Their heavy bodies fell out of the magic circle and crashed down to the ground, releasing a temporary shockwave.
"What the hell are those now". Monryck asked with a panicked voice.
Despite their working together, they have yet to have the necessary capacity to contend against Cerberus.
The thought of two monstrous figures with the same size and majestic presence as Cerberus, joining in on the fight does not bode well for them.
"Do not fret. They are from Lord Orun. And they are here to help us". Theron announced after he had calmed his nerves.
Monryck wanted to shout and ask him how he came about that information from just looking at the two beings that descended, a dragon-like being and a humanoid being.
He remembered that Theron all along was with them fighting against Cerberus, so how could he have known of what Orun was doing, or if Orun was even minding them when he probably has his hands full with Mammon?
"I can feel my Lord\'s mana emanating from their body".
Theron declared, letting go of his hold on Cerberus\'s skin and jumping down to the ground, away from the moldy side of the ground.
"You should all get off as well. Us staying on top of the beast would prevent them from doing anything to it".
When Theron got down, he turned his head in their direction and warned them to do the same thing.
If three gigantic figures were to collide, the outcome would prove to be devastating to everything in their surroundings.
The fire elder, the wind elder, and Monryck would be putting their lives at risk by standing on Cerberus\'s head.
They will also be holding back Efreet and Salamander who will not want to give it their all, because they do not want the fire elder, the wind elder, and Monryck to get hurt, or so Theron thought.
The three of them had doubts about trusting Efreet and Salamander to be on their side. Theron\'s positivity and how he looked so sure of himself, was what made them start considering the possibility that he just might be right.
But, if it turns out that he was wrong all along, their necks will not be the only thing on the line here.
"We should do what he says". Monryck reluctantly shouted out.
"Why? Do you also sense something in those beast\'s that tells you they were summoned by the fire spirit king". The wind elder asked.
Monryck unlike Theron was not getting the feeling, nor does he feel a connection between him and the two beasts (Efreet and Salamanader).
What he has, is more of an instinctual feeling, the thought that the beasts are on his side merely by looking at their demeanor.
"Are you guys, not the expert at dealing with elemental spirits? Should you not know best if they are on our side or not". Monryck asked, unable to defend his gut feeling before the wind elder.
As he said, the elven elders are people who found a way to draw power and communicate directly with nature. If Efreet and Salamander are beasts called upon by Orun, surely they would know since Orun is an elemental being who is using elemental type magic and mana.
They should be able to feel the elemental mana from Efreet and Salamander just like how Theron was quick to sense Orun\'s presence in them.
"It does not work that way". The wind elder said. "A summoned creature by an elemental king is an occurrence that has yet to be witnessed by us. Besides, the fire elemental King of now is an entity that has never been seen before. It makes it hard to distinguish his summon by only basing it on his mana fluctuations". She added.
"We should not also forget that Mammon and Cerberus are also a force of nature, though not birthed by nature, they are still spiritual entities with connection to nature". The wind elder concluded.
"We should do as they say". The fire elder chipped in, with an expression that has him half-in-believe about Efreet and Salamander.
"Do you sense something from them"? The wind elder asked.
"The flame on their body. I am getting the same feeling as when we faced the fire spirit king in a duel". The fire leader answered.
When he finished talking, he freed his hold on Cerberus and also jumped down to the ground, at a place close to where Theron had landed.
Monryck as well followed the fire elder shortly after, landing at a spot close to the fire elder and Theron.
When they both jumped, the wind elder was still hanging on tight, contemplating her choices and deciding if it was a good idea to let go of the one chance they had at hurting Cerberus.
She had her eyes turned in the direction of Efreet and Salamander who strangely enough have made no movements whatsoever since their arrival.
It was as if they were waiting for someone, or rather for something to get out of their way before they start attacking.
Then, it dawned on the wind elder that Theron just might be telling the truth after all.
"Take any longer and there will be no land left to save". The earth elder warned the wind elder, while still doing everything in his power to contain Cerberus flames that is still raining down from all three heads.
