Chapter 213 - V Northern Lake

In the mountain range at the west of Baylight city. Within a room in the cave. Elijah was seated on a large formation in a meditative position. He was focused on his training, opening the status window all his growth became apparent.

He did covert many vampires mainly because he didn't want to deal with too many people. Giving the rights to any soldier who made great contributions take the captives as servants. Other vampires had at least 400 to 500 cities, he and Asgeal were the only ones with two hundred each.

[For all the princes, gather at the border of the northern lake.] (First Prince)

"Uh, it seems they are tired of this." He left the city before turned into a streak of light flying towards the north. This time war has been going on for close to forty years and most of the time was spending or managing their own territory. There would be some large battles here and there, some cities were destroyed while two of the princes died and are now spectators, watching the war from the sidelines. However, the war has reached a bottleneck where all the rulers could not grow anymore. The land was divided into two, half to the Usekians and the other half to the princes.

"The tension between both sides had brewing for a long time. In the real war the vampires were defeated at the end of the final battle when the three moons lined up in the sky seconds before their defeat. With all of them turning into great silver werewolves, completely immune to every weakness of those of similar species, They won." Elijah thought of this as he could see the northern lake far away. in the meantime, he could not help but feel that something bad was going to happen.

"Draven, get down! We're all here." The third princess, Asgeal waved at him from below. The second and seventh prince could not be seen as they became spectators. The fourth princes was standing behind a white-haired old man, the fifth prince. Landing next to Asgeal, he saw  some of the generals gathered by the lake while hundreds of thousands of troops were approaching from side. 

It seems everybody has brought most of their forces to the lake. Surely a huge battle was going to happen. Asgeal who noticed Elijah's stare sent a him a private message.

[The time limit has been hit. From now on, all the participants can release their true powers and forms in order to prepare for the final war. Look over there.] Asgeal stared at the lake and Elijah followed her eyes to look at millions of particles gathering into what looked like a massive platform, no a battlefield with large structures like bridges and strongholds.  In the center of the battle field a small arena could be seen, despite only being small to the common sense of a celestial. Every other mortal would find it big.

[It seems like a huge battlefield. The final battle will happen there?](Elijah)

[It must be so. No one truly knows how the artifact works, it is completely unpredictable. We are waiting to see how we should decide the winner.](Asgeal)

[Me and the other are about to arrive. How's the situation.](Iris) 

Elijah saw his private message and quickly replied: [It's fine. A battlefield is forming on the surface of the lake, soon we can release our true bodies.]

On the opposite side of the lake, a huge army of millions leaded by eight dark silhouettes. The enemy rulers. In a normal case they were the most powerful on the enemy side. Cronos for example, he may have been many times more powerful than him yet his weak character made it easy for him to be captured.  Of course, the reason he did kill him was because there is no death in this place, the victim would just become a spectator. However if the seal on their powers vanish, then everything would change. Elijah could at most fight at the level and defeat a minor god or immortal without the use of the trinity or the origins, and with his special body it would be close to impossible to kill him in a few moves even if it was an Immortal Lord, Paragon or a Higher God/Devil.  Of course this is just in the case of one on one, if there is more he could not hold on much time.

"At least this means I can have a real life and death battles without the risk of a final death." 

Seeing it would take a while for the preparations, The two side set up camps on opposite sides of the lake. 

"Prince." Iris walked over to him. Then he sent another private message: [Should the seal on our power break, don't reveal the fact you cultivate the three main paths. Having a mortal release the power of a celestial is rare but not impossible. However a successful three-path cultivator has never existed since ever. It is best to keep it secret for now.]

Since spending a close to forty years together, Heracles became a good friend with who he could disclose some of his secrets. He just kept the supreme origins a secret because even if other come to know about his trinity path, it is the supreme origins his true treasure. The trinity was the foundation,  but the laws came from the origins. A particular set of laws others other than its master could not control or comprehend. This type of power that go against heavens is the true threat.

Even Yawen's Origin was just formed from his trinity energy in the shape of a dragon's claw. Yet it evolved to the Stellar Dragon's Origin which means this  power must have originated from a source Maybe there was a stellar dragon somewhere in world.

[I know, but you have never seen me when I fight. If the need arises, I can just use my trinity force. With the differences in quality and aura no one will be able to tell it is the merge of the three paths easily.]
