Chapter 621 - Sad Reunion

Chapter 621 - Sad Reunion

The corpse the Lightning Elementalist attacked stood no chance and was quickly left sprawling on the floor, incapable of moving.

The Fire Elementalist on the other hand had stopped the corpse he identified as his Teacher from moving.

"Teacher… do… do you still remember me?" He asked, hoping there was a bit of consciousness left in the corpse.

The corpse screeched loudly before attacking the human who blocked its path.

The Fire Elementalist dodged the attack, before trying to communicate with the corpse once again. The corpse continued attacking, not responding to any of the words spoken by the Fire Elementalist.

….

Grey and the other by the side were a little shaken by the scene. Seeing a loved one who is dead seemingly moving again would always affect anyone. Even when the Fire Elementalist knew that person he was referring to as Teacher was already dead, he still didn't have the mind of attacking the corpse.

"He knows it's useless, right?" Reynolds asked after watching the Fire Elementalist try over and over again.

"Of course he does, but I think he's hoping there might just be a sliver of consciousness or even the soul of his Teacher left in the corpse," Alice replied.

"Such a sad reunion," Klaus commented as he watched.

Blake threw a glance at Jason, and he saw that he still wore the same calm expression. His lips slightly curved upwards to form a gentle smile.

"If I recall correctly, old Mike mentioned burying his Teacher. Could it be that their corpses were dug out?" Jason muttered to himself while staring at the scene unfolding in front of him.

A thought suddenly came to his mind and he couldn't help but look around. All four corpses that appeared were of people in the Sage Plane. Three have been identified as experts from hundreds of years ago. If whoever was behind this had this ability, then they were in serious trouble.

All these people had to do was to find the grave of these people, dig out their bodies and they automatically have a Sage Plane expert working for them.

Jason could tell that the strength of these corpses seemed to be lacking when compared to when they were alive, but it still didn't change the fact that these people were dangerous. After all, there were more dead Sage Plane Elementalists than alive.

'I'll have to relay a message to my father about this. We have to ensure that the previous Emperors' graves are still intact. And also the grave of every Sage Plane expert of the empire.' Jason's mind went into overdrive as he thought of a possible counter to this seemingly unimaginable power.

"Huh?" His attention was finally drawn to the third corpse, and who was engaging it.

"He's broken through to the Sage Plane as well?" He looked at Blake.

"You didn't expect him to stay in the same place, did you? My Teacher was regarded as a genius in his generation, it's only natural that he breaks through," Blake said proudly.

"How envious," Jason replied.

"The same can't be said for you. Your Teacher was already in the Sage Plane before you were even born," Blake stated.

Jason smiled in response, but a light flashed across his eyes and he turned to look at Grey.

Grey felt his gaze and turned to stare at him as well. Jason nodded as if enlightened before turning to look at the battle.

….

With the other two corpses stopped by the Fire and the Lightning Elementalist, the pressure on the Principal was greatly reduced.

He had been injured from the attacks of the three corpses, but he still had some fight left in him.

Sizzle! Bang!

The Principal dodged the corpse's attack before sending out a stream of lightning that sent it flying.

He didn't give it any chance to recover before he started bombarding it with attacks. It was as if he was attacking it for all the past sufferings they had put him through.

After a few more attacks, the corpse was taken apart.

Of the three corpses, two had been destroyed in little to no time, while the last one was still operational.

….

The Fire Elementalist continued to speak with the corpse, trying to see if he could get through to it. His attempts were all to no avail as other than screeching and attacking, the corpse did nothing else. There wasn't even an atom of hesitation whenever it attacked which showed that it didn't recall anything from when it was alive.

Melancholy washed over the Fire Elementalist as he saw his Teacher, being controlled by some people.

"You bastards! I'll kill all of you!" He roared in anger as he unleashed a sea of flames that enveloped the corpse.

The corpse was a Fire Elementalist like him, covering itself with a dome of fire, it tried to protect itself from the attack of the Fire Elementalist.

Boom!

The attack slammed into the fire dome, bursting out with unprecedented heat.

The dome wasn't able to hold out for long before it was torn apart by the attacks of the Fire Elementalist. The Fire Elementalist attacked once again, his face red from anger, and his eyes bloodshot.

If anyone were to put the people who caused this in front of him, there was no telling what he might do to them, however, one thing was for sure, they wouldn't have a good ending.

Two minutes later, the Fire Elementalist had incapacitated the corpse, making sure he didn't harm it.

It was the corpse of his Teacher after all, and given the respect he had for him, he couldn't bring himself to cause any harm to the corpse. Naturally, there were a few scratches when the battle was going on, but the damage was almost unnoticeable.

He wrapped the corpse with fire, which surprisingly didn't do any harm to it and brought it with him.

….

By the time the Fire Elementalist was done with the battle. The Principal had already gone to meet up with Blake and the others.

The Lightning Elementalist was the first to return, and they were staring at each other.
