Chapter 3 - EXPLOSION

"HAH, well I mean fair enough, but, but.... whatever do as you like, you're just a vessel anyway, now I'm gonna send you back"

"Wait"

"What more?"

"What about my power? Is it something amazing? like maybe your power perhaps, it would be cool and also I would like a cool outfit too oh and what about my har-", his surroundings suddenly became chaos, papers blown everywhere, tables turned, fires blazing as waters splashing.

"Well, that's not so nice, let's first thing how to get out of here, it seems like something has happened here, maybe a kind of storm? But I do remember that big barrier outside... oh well"

The room where He resides in a room on the third floor, the mayor's office. "where are the mayor and the secretary? They must've gotten out of here, but how though, hmm, ah I just remembered, I have that so-called elemental or something, I wonder how I use it, let's first feel it like an MC.", He thought.

His guess was right, a strange feeling can be felt inside him, but it's not only inside of him but also a feeling of connection to the surrounding.

"Heh strange power, I like it. Maybe I can release some kind of spell too, like...

"FIREBALL

"Of course nothing happe-"

*fhurr*, a small sucking sound can be heard in his hand.

"hm? what is this?", as he looks at his hand, every fire there seems to go towards his hand, forming a small ball of fire.

"OOH A FIREBALL! HAHAHA I'M INVINCIBLE.. wait, how do I release this?", He thought.

The fire is getting bigger and hotter with time.

"Oh no, uh maybe just throw it? Like this... that didn't work. Uhhh, ahh, Hotttt, HOTT, GET AWAY FROM ME".

As He panicked, the fireball was released from his hands to the wall,

*KABOOM*

He looked at his hand, surprised.

"It's... not hot?", he said in a puzzled tone.

****

2 hours ago, the mayor's office.

"AN ELEMENTAL!", the mayor shouted as he panicked, the secretary also panicked, and at the same time, the said person also disappeared. And they became more panicked.

"WHERE THE HELL IS HE????", the mayor asked the secretary calmly.

"I DON'T KNOW, CALM DOWN SIR!", the secretary said.

"I am VERY calm. Alright, let's.. let's try calming down and think caref-"

Before he managed to finish his sentence, the city alarm resounds.

"Sh t they're here, ah I don't wanna have anything with them, anas, pack the blueprint, we're out of here."

"But sir what about that guy? Are we giving up such a powerful character?"

"What thing is He, suddenly appear, make a commotion just by measuring his power and then disappears, just don't mind him, our priority is to get out of their sight, broadcast it to everyone. We are gonna use the 'dragon maw'."

"Yes sir."

As they hastily went out, there was something missing out without being read on the screen.

[elemene power: 100]

[elemene amount: 3]

[elemene affinity: indefinite]

[mana: 200]

****

'Dragon maw' as the name implies, is the maw of a dragon. It may not sound like it is useful, but the sturdiness of the entire thing is ridiculous, and with that, a powerful defense-escape device is made with it as its foundation.

As all the citizens were startled by the alarm, they immediately understood the gravity of the situation and began to evacuate as fast as possible. Although this kind of thing rarely happens they are always aware of such possibilities.

After a few minutes, the space above the city barrier cracked, and the crack becomes larger and larger until it was the size of one-third of the city, from there, a mid-size spaceship with thousands of smaller ones appears. The appearance of the smaller spaceships resembles that of a horizontal rocket with eight different wings continuously rotating while the bigger one resembles that of a submarine with 3 large fins on its top and bottom.

"*Gasp*, how are they so fast!? It hasn't even been 1 hour", the secretary spoke with a terrified tone.

"No, more than that, how could they find us? An elemental appearing might be a rare occurrence, even almost legendary but their energy couldn't have bypassed the concealment array as most people who just awakened are at their weakest state, yet He didn't only bypass it by his sheer energy but even only took a few seconds, it's just ridiculous!", the mayor pondered.

"Start the engine, we are leaving", said the mayor.

"But only 90% have boarded, sir", said Anas, the secretary

"Doesn't matter, it's now or never"

"Yes sir!", Anas then started piloting the dragon maw and opened a space ripple in front of them which connects to another planet.

This doesn't only happen in this city as every city on that whole planet made the same decision with their life-saving devices.

The people that were left off had the same expression on their face-, despair. Soon after an alien-boar-looking creature is released from the small spaceships into the planet, immediately erasing every single creature left, turning the once green planet into a red blood planet.

After a while, the spaceships landed and captured the alien-boar again. After that, from every spaceship comes out a pale blue-skinned humanoid with long ears, a pair of small antennas above the ears, and a small pair of inside-out wings behind them, beside those, everything else resembles a human.

Another one appears one after another, and the one on the mid-sized spaceship also appeared with several personnel of his following behind him. His aura resembles the aura of a captain.

"Report, no source of energy detected"

"Report, no source of energy here too"

The captain keeps getting a transmission from the telepathy.

"Haa looks like we still need to activate it. I planned to reduce the cost for this mission.", the captain said with a said voice as he activated the device behind him with thought.

An invisible shockwave went around the planet, and not long after the device showed a complex statistic on its screen

"...., what?", the captain is baffled.

On the statistic screen, it showed that there is no sign of a foreign creature, meaning only his race's energy is on this planet so the possibility of the energy source earlier might be false... or...

"All to checkup their own body, the energy source might be a type of parasite.", the captain ordered through telepathy to all his soldiers. "I will also do a checkup too", as he walked back inside his spaceship.

Dozen minutes later, everyone had been checked and found nothing wrong.

"Looks like it was misinformation,

"All, back to base", the captain ordered.

as they all prepare to leave, suddenly their antennas twitched.

"Hmm?"

there are three occurrences where the antenna of their race twitched, one, because of a very high energy reading or because of danger, or both.

And this time, they felt that it was both.

"It was from that place again, it must be hiding back then", the captain grinned.

"All, execute order 4", he ordered through telepathy.

"yessir"

"yessir"

All spaceships then turned around and went to where He was at

****

"Sir, the energy reading seems to be of element class", one of the soldiers reported.

"Hmm, surround the one-mile perimeter, and make sure nothing comes out. I'm going in.", the captain said as he entered the almost collapsed building.

An ominous feeling rose in his heart, a feeling of... fear. "This.. just what kind of entity", the captain swallowed, but his job and responsibility as well as his experience gave him confidence.

As he climbed up the stairs, the ominous feeling grew. "As rare as this might be, this had happened a dozen times in my life... hehe.... what could happen", he thought as he opened the door.

Inside stood a 1,72 cm human with a thin almost malnourished looking. The human stared at him with a calm intrigued eyes.

"I-Identify yours-self!!", the captain said as he charged his hand with a kind of energy, too is surprised that he felt this fear as if he was in the presence of 'law', which only happened once in his life a long time ago but he could never forget it as if it's engraved in its soul just by witnessing it.

The human raised his eyebrows, showing more interest. "I am... He... He Ken".

"Ha hahahah, of course, you're not those people, just the name sounds ridiculous, hahaahh", the captain laughed. He was relieved that this was not one of those people in disguise. He was confused as well as a little mad because his name was made fun of.

"Then without further chitchat, let's end it here", the captain said as he raised his hand that was glowing with blue energy as blue as his skin and shot it at Ken. Ken couldn't react fast enough and took the damage to his chest, opening a huge bloody hole in his right chest, Ken was shocked and panicked, he grabbed his chest as if knowing it will hurt a lot. But to his surprise, instead of the pain that comes, a strong gust of wind came from the door, pushed the captain aside, and whirl around Ken, then two seconds later the wind scattered and ken's chest is healed perfectly.

"Wha-"

"Huh?"

Both the captain and Ken are confused, but then Ken realized the situation and charges at the captain, the captain the reflect activated his shield. Soon Ken's fist comes into contact with his shield but nothing occurred, the captain felt as if a fly landed on his shield, but he didn't dare laugh, as what he witnessed earlier was still in his head and he was still trying to comprehend what just happened.

Before the captain can deduce anything, the shield suddenly dispersed. Ken was surprised and throws a punch again at the captain, the captain realized and dodged his punch.

"Disabling power? No, then it wouldn't explain how he healed, then, rewind power? No, that's impossible only a demigod and above could possibly bear such power, then how could a mere planet-level organism produce such power?", the captain kept pondering as he dodged all the punches thrown by Ken.

"What the hell? Why is the first enemy so tough? even though his shield is weak, he is so agile!", Ken cried inwardly. "Then take this!"

A spark appears on top of his hands, then a strand of fire lines could be seen flowing to that spot, making the spark more solid and round.

"What? An elemental class? How could an elemental class bear the law power? No could it be an elemental law? But wasn't that long gone? Ahh, this is confusing", the captain was getting more and more confused. "Let's just capture this weird thing", he decided and ordered through telepathy to his soldiers to activate the entrapment. The captain then snorted and ran back to the stairs.

"Hey don't run away!", Ken shouted as he chased with his fireball still condensing, gradually becoming bigger at a faster rate.

The captain kept running at a speed that seemed can be caught up by the human.

By the time they both arrived on the first floor, the captain felt hot but chose to ignore it, he then looked behind him to check if the human could keep up, but what he saw terrified him, a ball of fire, so big and condensed that the surrounding metal corridor melted as if it was toothpaste, the human as well is.. burning, his whole body is in flame but he was not burnt, he was just panting, seemingly exhausted.

Seeing this, the captain ran as fast as possible panickingly, as he ran out of the building and shouted, "RUN YOU FOOLS RUN!", the soldiers were confused, weren't they ordered to set up an entrapment device? So why should they be running now? A few seconds later, a flaming human also ran out of the building with a huge purple fireball, so condensed that it was as bright as a sun that seem to melt everything, even the air.

The soldiers stared at this with wide eyes and started running at full speed too.

"haa haa haa, why am I so exhausted", he then looked at his body and then his right arm.

"Ahhh", Ken then throws the fireball forward, the huge ball despite it being huge, travels as fast as their spaceship, catching up with the captain and the soldiers around him.

BOOOM

An explosion so big that it forms a huge mushroom appeared abt 200 meters from where he was standing, wiping out 100 miles perimeter from where it was dropped, killing everyone, destroying everything, in an instant nothing was left, not even Ken, that was quickly obliterated by the shockwave.

From space could be seen that a small area on that planet has become wasteland while the rest of them are green with some red.
