Chapter 756- Ambushed
Chapter 756 Ambushed
Greem was utterly ignorant of everything that had happened in the Fire Elementium Plane. He was still busy at work in Fire Throne.
The process of crafting the Emblem of Fire was a delicate task of constant tempering and alchemical skill. Even with the Chip’s help, Greem’s progress was just as slow.
Fortunately, Greem had sufficient patience and resources which allowed him to continue walking forward despite his repeated failures. Bit by bit, he managed to prepare all of the materials required to craft the Emblem of Fire.
The base of the armband was the first component to be finished. However, just that base alone would not qualify as Second Grade fire magical equipment. After soaking the armband base in the fire dragon’s blood for ten days, Greem finally reached the last step in the crafting process.
He neutralized the liquid made from the molten fire agate with the neutralizing agent composed from the fire dragon’s blood, then poured the mixture into the rune grooves that had been carved into the armband ahead of time. The three-dimensional runic arrays on the armband could only form a complete energy circulation system once these rune grooves were connected.
Once that was done, the combination of the metal, runes, and the energy together would genuinely make a piece of Second Grade magical equipment that could help Greem. Before that, it could only be considered a pile of rare materials!
These fire spirits had been able to catch his arrival despite such a huge deviation in the location of his appearance. The only possibility of this happening was that the spirits were monitoring all weak spatial points in this area.
Filled with a trace of anger at his ambush and the desire to test out the power of the two Fire Throne set pieces, Greem roared and extended his hands. They immediately burst with blazing and searing flames.
Burning Hand!
This apprentice-level spell could only travel for half a meter at the hands of an apprentice adept. However, when cast by a Second Grade fire adept like Greem, the same spell flashed with flames five to six meters tall.
The eleven First Grade fire spirits had backed off and put up defenses for fear of some powerful spell from the human adept. They immediately relaxed when they saw him cast such a crude fire spell. Instead, they surged forward and lunged at the enemy.
As First Grade fire spirits of the Fire Elementium Plane, their fire resistance was shockingly high; they did not need to worry that this human adept’s low-grade fire spell could possibly harm their bodies. Instead, they took the opportunity of the adept casting a spell to close in on him for close quarter strikes.
After all, given the powerful fire defense that the human adept had just shown them, long-ranged fire attacks were probably ineffective. If that was the case, then melee combat was the only trick left up their sleeves!
Just as the eleven fire spirits charged to Greem’s side, the blazing fire in his hands trembled and contorted. The smoking flames were then concentrated and forced into brilliant spears as red as a ruby.
“Go!”
Greem roared as the flames in his hands were driven to their extremes. Eleven crystalline spears that were tougher than steel extended from his palms. They instantly pierced the chests of the fire spirits and ran through the fire cores hidden deep within their bodies.
The eleven fire spirits trembled and remained frozen on the spot, unable to move.
As Greem clenched his fists, the eleven crystal spears immediately dispersed into intangible flames and returned to his palms.
The eleven fire spirits started to tremble increasingly fiercely. Finally, their shattered fire cores could no longer constrain their fire forms. Boom, boom, boom! Several small flame explosions occurred in a chain, engulfing the area into an overwhelming storm of fire.
Of course, such explosions triggered by the destruction of their souls was much, much less potent than the self-destruction caused by their own will. Greem simply stood on the spot and treated it as a warm gust of wind. He didn’t even bother to dodge.
Hopefully, these fire spirits had not managed to send out a message in time!
Greem mumbled to himself after dealing with these fearless grunts.
However, Greem knew it was no more than wishful thinking. The fire spirits had probably reported on the situation to their headquarters at the very instant he teleported over.
He couldn’t stay here for too long. Otherwise, there was a real possibility he would run into those terrifying Second and Third Grade individuals!
Greem had more than eighty percent chance to win against a single Second Grade Blazefire Spirit with his current power. If he faced off against two Blazefire Spirits, his chances of victory would fall to thirty percent. With three of them, Greem would have to run as far as he could. Otherwise, he would die a terrible death after being ground away by the enemy.
As for a Third Grade fire spirit? Greem had no other way of dealing with a being like that apart from having the Flame Fiend of Terror self-destruct and buy some time for him to escape.
Fortunately, the one good thing about the Fire Elementium Plane was the rarity of Third Grade creatures, much like the World of Adepts. They were not individuals that one simply ran into. Otherwise, Greem would never have dared to come exploring in such a dangerous and lethal world!
After turning around and shutting the Flamegate, Greem cleaned up the battlefield and started his journey to explore the Fire Elementium Plane.
