Chapter 762 Gathering of Adepts
The adepts were a group of extraordinarily pragmatic and practical individuals!
Having them risk their lives was an impossible feat without sufficient rewards or hidden benefits.
However, once they smelled blood, they would instantly turn into the most frightening hunters in the world and use their scary magic to tear off sufficient flesh from the body of the enemy to sate their greed.
The Kamala Clan, the Andorra Clan, the Cenas Clan, the Magic Forest Hut, and the Layton Adept Academy.
They were five foreign names, and each one of them represented a small adept force that was individually insignificant within Zhentarim. Trying to put together a hundred adepts with their influence and power was nearly impossible. Gargamel was ninety percent certain that other forces had also indirectly participated in this attack against Fire Throne.
It might not have been long since the establishment of the Crimson Clan, but their few brutal victories had let the world know of the strength and prowess of Crimson adepts. Last time, the enemy had been defeated in front of Fire Throne, even with a Third Grade vampire adept leading the charge.
While the adepts continued to rest and prepare for the upcoming battle, the fourteen Magic Forest Hut adepts dove into the dark Fire Cave.
…………
Fire Cave.
Due to the existence of the underground lava sea, the temperature within the cave was a dozen degrees higher than the outside world.
Second Grade Adept Roy immediately smelled the pungent and dense scent of sulfur after stepping into the tunnels. He couldn’t help but frown.
It was said that the Crimson Clan had many Second Grade adepts!
Even as a Second Grade adept, Roy couldn’t help but feel some fear at having to carry out such a task of spearheading the way.
They intended to exterminate the enemy and uproot them with the mobilization of the army this time. It would be odd if the enemy didn’t fight back with all their might under such circumstances!
Consequently, Roy immediately stopped walking upon entering the tunnels. He waved at his subordinates.
As alchemist adepts, they naturally had their own unique way of battle.
Two of the thirteen First Grade alchemists stepped forward. They took out a vial from their pouches strapped full of potions, took away the cork, and tossed it in front of them.
The next second, two sturdy, one-meter tall earth elementals emerged from the ground and silently stood before the adepts.
“Go forth and scout the way!” The two adepts immediately gave their orders.
Two earth elementals with humanoid forms made of black earth immediately charged toward the other end of the tunnel with heavy steps.
They only made it ten meters before a magical trap on the wall of the tunnel triggered.
An explosive fireball instantly exploded between the two earth elementals!
The fierce flames and violent shockwave knocked the earth elementals on their backs. The surface of their bodies quickly dried and cracked like smashed clay.
Two advanced apprentice-level earth elementals were destroyed by an explosive fireball trap, just like that!
The adepts of the Magic Forest Hut didn’t care about such losses. After blocking the remnants of the shockwave with a magical shield, the two adepts once again took out two blue potions and threw them in front of them.
As the potion vials rolled forward, blue and viscous liquid flowed out from within and gathered in a ball upon the tough and warm floor.
As the adepts performed a simple magical summoning rite, two ice elementals radiating freezing air climbed out of the liquid. They also only had the power of an advanced apprentice, but they possessed long-ranged ice attribute offensive spells.
The two ice elementals clearly disliked the environment. They looked about in frustration the moment they were summoned. Only two blue lights glowed on their featureless faces.
“Go!”
These low-grade elementium summons lacked any full intelligence or consciousness. As such, they couldn’t understand complex orders. Consequently, the commands given by the adepts were often very simple and straightforward.
The two ice elementals immediately roared and charged into the depths of the cave!
Who knew that the moment they stepped past the remains of the earth elementals, an explosive fireball exploded between the two of them.
A short moment later, once the fire shockwaves had subsided, only two scorch marks could be seen on the spot. Not a trace of the ice elementals remained!
The two alchemists shrugged and tossed out another two new vials.
This time, two advanced stone elementals rose from the ground!
