Chapter 755- Sea of Ashes
Chapter 755 Sea of Ashes
The Fire Elementium Plane.
It was a boiling sea of fire here.
The boundaries between earth and sky were no longer as distinct here. The entire world had turned into a dreary, blazing furnace.
Since the Fire Elementium Plane was a world of pure fire elementium, it was only natural that other elementium particles could not appear. It caused the basic framework of the world to be formed of only fire elementium that had temporarily taken on different states of existence.
Naturally, one could see material fire elementium all over the Fire Elementium Plane; the existence of fire elementium was ubiquitous. However, if one were to look at the entire planar space as a single entity, they would find the distribution of fire elementium to be imbalanced.
The areas with less fire elementium were naturally the more impoverished and barren regions of the plane. Meanwhile, the areas with denser concentrations of fire elementium would always be taken up by powerful fire elementium creatures. These fire elementium creatures might not have much desire or greed–or even the scheming minds of other intelligent lifeforms–but their instinct to become stronger still drove their simple and violent thought processes.
This voice wasn’t too loud, but when it lingered around the palace, it absorbed the nearby fire energy and became frightfully loud and intimidating.
“Great Lord Groms, what orders do you have for me?”
Fire elementium creatures were simply like that in nature. They cared not for all those troublesome courtesies and formalities, and they couldn’t bother with lies and facades. Even someone as lowly as the magma giant went straight to asking his master’s intentions the moment he arrived.
“Artes, I need you to kill an adept!”
“O’ Great Lord Groms, as long as you give me the name of this adept, I will lead my army of fire to finish him.” Magma giant Artes once again kneeled upon receiving his master’s orders and expressed his loyalty with a passionate tone.
“You don’t need to go through such troubles this time! Simply stay in your territory, and there will be a human adept who will attempt to assassinate you. He is only Second Grade.”
“……”
Artes raised his head and his giant face formed of magma and fire was filled with confusion.
“You don’t need to know why. Just stay in your territory and then kill the human adept who breaks into your land. Once you accomplish your mission, I will allow you to move from Dustfire Valley into the Pillar of Ashes.”
Artes’ face was filled with wild joy upon hearing this.
The Pillar of Ashes was only a hundred and fifty kilometers away from the Sea of Ashes. It was a desirable place of fire elementium concentration. Typically, only Third or Fourth Grade fire lords would be granted the opportunity to rule over territory like this. It made them rulers with genuine authority.
“Understood, my master. Your loyal servant Artes will complete his mission!”
“Leave if you understand already! Remember, I am waiting for good news from you.”
Magma Giant Artes bowed respectfully as the voice vanished. He then turned and walked back along the way he came.
It was only when the magma giant’s silhouette had vanished entirely from this strange world that Groms’ voice once again rang out.
“How is it? I have already assigned the task you asked of me. What about the matter you promised me?”
A moment later, a ghostly female voice rang out in the space.
“When have I, Maysa, ever gone against my word? Big fire person, the contract we signed stipulated that I will only tell you the location of the object once the matter is complete. The contract has not been fulfilled yet, and you have the face to ask me for it?”
“Heheheh…old witch, do you think anything unforeseen could still happen? It is only a puny Second Grade adept. If he dares enter our world, my subordinate will naturally find him and crush him. Do you think that a Second Grade adept could kill a Second Grade fire lord underling of mine? Hahaha, you are way too childish.”
“I don’t care what methods you use or what you resort to. You must complete what I asked of you or don’t you even think of finding out the location of that thing from me. ”
“Fine, fine…dealing with you old hags is always troublesome. I’ll go and take a little nap. It’s only a matter of a dozen years anyway, and it will be over soon. Don’t you forget your promise then, alright?”
Having said that, the Fire King’s voice finally fell silent. The cold female voice also vanished without a trace!
A dull boom rang out as the blazing fires of the Sea of Ashes once again surged and ravaged the area, completely engulfing this unique palace.
