Chapter 759- Fire Affinity
Chapter 759 Fire Affinity
The fire elemental elder died!
A Second Grade fire elemental elder died a humiliating death beneath the bombardment of Greem and the Flame Fiend of Terror, just like that.
Any Second Grade adept in the World of Adepts would have had plenty of life-saving spells and powers. They would not have been so easily disposed of as the elemental elder. If a Second Grade adept had died in battle, it would be a major event that could cause a tremendous commotion in the local area.
However, in the Fire Elementium Plane filled with fire creatures, the death of a Second Grade creature was as ordinary as the death of a chicken in a farmer’s home. There wouldn’t be someone jumping out unexpectedly seeking vengeance. After all, even the wandering fire creatures didn’t seem to care less about what had happened.
As long as the fighting didn’t involve them, they were perfectly fine with wandering the plains and looking for things that could help them evolve.
Of course, this was a manifestation of their unevolved intelligence. Otherwise, they would probably have run as far away as possible at the very sight of two vicious Second Grades engaged in combat!
As the Chip’s familiar voice rang out once again, a screen of light projected into Greem’s mind. His bodily attributes were listed upon the screen in detail.
Greem. Intermediate Second Grade.
Profession: Elementium Adept (Fire Specialization).
Bodily Attributes: Strength 11+1 (18) | Physique 13 (20) | Agility 10 (8) | Spirit 26+1 (29).
Note: Attributes in brackets refer to post-transformation statistics.
Profession Skills: Body of Flames, Flame Fiend Transformation.
Greem’s power was only that of an intermediate Second Grade fire adept in the World of Adepts. His powerful fire spells might have great might in a large-scale war. However, fire adepts lacked sufficient mobility in skirmishes between adepts and had trouble shaking off close-quarter pursuits from adepts of other disciplines.
It was a universally-known and accepted fact!
However, Greem’s power increased tremendously when he transformed into the Flame Fiend. The 29 points of Spirit and 20 points of Physique allowed him to sweep aside most adepts of the same grade and become a terrifying overlord that dominated the battlefield.
The one unfortunate drawback to this was his inability to sustain the Flame Fiend form for extended periods of time, even after sealing a Flame Fiend’s Heart in his own body. If he went all out, the Flame Fiend transformation could only be maintained for a mere fifteen minutes.
In those fifteen minutes, Greem at his full power could even compare to beginner Third Grades to some limited extent. However, once the fifteen minutes were up, the reverted Greem would only have the strength of an intermediate Second Grade adept. He would be crushed in moments by an actual Third Grade.
However, if the battlefield was in the Fire Elementium Plane, Greem was confident he could extend the Flame Fiend Transformation to thirty minutes.
It was basically his powers being doubled!
The origin contract had now sealed his soul brand, and no substantial change to its nature was possible. Thus, Greem wasn’t paying attention to his attributes when he read the assessment report. Instead, he was focusing on his elementium affinity.
A bar chart slowly appeared before Greem’s eyes.
From top to bottom, the bars of various colors represented the affinity of Greem’s body toward the myriad of arcane powers.
The ones at the top were naturally the ones with the highest affinity, and it decreased as they went down.
In the very first place was the fire attribute. The length of the bar was nearly the sum of all the other bars, and its color was a vibrant red.
In second place was the earth attribute. Its length was only one-fourth of the fire bar, and its color was a deep yellow.
The third was the metal attribute. Its length was only one-twelfth of the fire bar, and its color was a dull, rusty brown.
There were as many as five or six affinity bars after them, but their lengths were pathetically short, and Greem had no interest to even look at them.
The longer the bar, the higher the affinity Greem had with elementium particles of that attribute. This way, Greem would obtain greater achievements through his daily meditations and training with the same amount of effort.
Greem had spent the past few days devouring and digesting the Essence of Fire. It had allowed his fire affinity bar to increase by a minimum of one-seventh. Moreover, if one were to look closely, they could find a strange trace of gold on the bright red bar of the fire attribute.
This golden color represented Greem’s understanding of the laws of fire.
One day, when Greem’s knowledge and understanding of the fire laws had reached a level that granted him control, it would be the moment he obtained the power of the planar laws.
And the power of the laws was a supreme domain that only Fourth Grade adepts could come into contact with!
