Chapter 840 The Arena
Three days later.
The public arena of the Rhein Adept’s Tower.
News of the duel between the Kamala Clan and Crimson Clan had already spread all over the tower. It had become the most popular topic of conversation for the people.
As internal information about the two clans was slowly revealed, more and more people started to understand the story behind this duel.
The Kamala Clan had a powerful Third Grade adept!
Death Heralding Crow Yurga. In the central region, this terrifying name could even stop the cries of an infant and put a halt to an adept’s step.
Yurga might not be the most powerful of the Third Grade adepts in the central region, but his fearsome death beams made him a terrifying figure that even other Third Grades didn’t dare to provoke for no reason.
“Little guy, you are a brave one, but this decision is not a very wise one. I will give you a minute’s time to prepare now. After a minute, I will announce the start of the duel.” Adept Laurent’s voice rang out in the arena. It was clear that he didn’t think highly of Greem’s chances either.
Greem’s face was solemn. He took in a deep breath and threw out two magic golem cores. As they roared and transformed into six-meter tall Flame Fiends of Terror, Greem also started changing.
First transformation: body of flames!
A wild surge of elementium fire came out of every corner of Greem’s body, creating a swirling pillar of fire around himself. His flesh body quickly turned into one of elementium flame as his size increased to four meters.
Second transformation: Flame Fiend’s body!
Greem opened his mouth and roared.
As the elementium in his body was converted, his frail fire body turned into a giant Flame Fiend forged out of large magma rocks and boiling lava. His entire body swelled to over six meters tall.
For a moment, three six-meter-tall Flame Fiends of Terror stood in a triangle formation, causing the arena to become a giant blazing sea of fire.
That wasn’t the end of it.
Several elementium halos flashed on Greem’s body as a semi-translucent barrier emerged from within, creating a terrifying Burning Domain around the Flame Fiends. In the blink of an eye, the three Flame Fiends vanished into the sea of fire, making it hard to find any trace of where they were.
The sea of flame pushed back against the black mist, and for a moment, though the defensive shield had yet to be taken down, the intimidating aura of both fighters was already at a standstill.
Holy shit? Was this a level that a Second Grade adept could reach?
The adepts gathered around the stands were stunned speechless and soon started gossiping and whispering about what they had just witnessed.
Though the elementium ripples on Adept Yurga’s side were stronger, they currently appeared to be evenly matched against Greem’s fires. After all, Adept Yurga was known for his strange and vicious moves. He couldn’t compare with a fire adept known for being a battlefield cannon when it came to flair and presentation.
“Time is up. I hereby announce that the duel has begun!”
As Adept Laurent announced the start of the battle, the defensive shield separating the center of the arena vanished without a sound.
The very next instant, the rolling black mists clashed with the surging fires, creating an unpleasant sizzling noise. Countless Death Heralding Crows flapped their black wings inside the black cloud and charged into the sea of fire, rapidly extinguishing large patches of flame. However, the sea of fire also lunged at the birds with terrifying force, roasting one crow after another into ashes, causing them to explode into mist once more.
Yurga hid within the black mist; his massive Spirit turned into numerous thread-like appendages extending toward the depths of the sea of fire. As long as he could find Greem’s position, crushing him would over in a flash with the spiritual pressure of a Third Grade and the death beams of the crows.
Even a lion hunting a rabbit would have to give its all!
The Kamala Clan’s humiliation over the past few months needed to be washed away with a thorough victory. As such, Yurga would never provide the young adept with any chance to drag this out or even surrender after a short stand-off.
Yet, what surprised Yurga was the fact that the strange fire barrier was quickly expanding. It had now engulfed the entire one-kilometer diameter of the arena. Yurga also felt a strange magical power within the flames.
The elementium powers within his body lost its original activity and became dull and slow. Yet, the opponent’s fires didn’t seem to be affected. Instead, they were burning fiercer and stronger.
An elementium-restricting barrier?
A gloomy look overtook Yurga’s gaunt face.
Dammit! This brat’s power might not be much, but his special techniques can truly catch people by surprise!
