Chapter 728
With the extermination of the orc squad, the fire creatures that had been walking around the area instantly vanished without a trace.
They might not have been the most intelligent of creatures, but their instinct for danger was exceptionally sharp.
They scattered the moment they realized that Greem and his party were dangerous characters and went straight back to their nests to hide.
The adepts couldn’t be bothered to deal with these unintelligent creatures either. They continued down the mountain after putting on a good show of force.
Sprinting fifty kilometers in a single breath was nothing difficult with the Physique of the adepts.
Greem’s party arrived at the foot of the towering volcano by sunset.
The air had reached shockingly high temperatures here. The adepts had no choice but to radiate the elementium particles within their bodies to neutralize the vigorous fire elementium around them. Otherwise, even the cloth robes and capes that they were wearing would burst into flames from the heat.
The stifling smell of sulfur in the air beneath the mountain was so pungent that it caused headaches for everyone. Apart from Greem, who was able to endure the experience easily, the adepts had no choice but to erect elementium barriers to maintain the circulation of their life systems.
Dammit, we just stabbed a hornet’s nest.
Greem roared and tossed out that Second Grade elementium golem of his.
An earthshaking roar rang out as the seven-meter-tall body of the Flame Fiend of Terror stood up in front of the party. Blazing fires shrouded it, and surging lava and scalding magma covered its body.
“Battle! Destroy!”
The Flame Fiend of Terror shouted wicked and malicious battlecries as it strode toward the volcano with its thick magma legs.
The elemental fireballs that had been shot at it exploded continuously upon its giant body, but they couldn’t do any damage to it. Only the Magma Fireballs or flame spears that contained a bit of earth elementium could deal a little damage to it.
However, compound magic of this kind could only be used by high-grade fire elemental elders or fire deities.
The Flame Fiend of Terror strode forward to the very front, using its massive body to attract the enemy’s firepower. Meanwhile, the Goblin Shredder followed behind, occasionally using the propellers on its back to accelerate into the midst of the fire elementium creatures and execute the more threatening high-grade enemies.
Though these fire elemental elders were of a pretty high grade, they did not have tough, impenetrable bodies. That was why their large bodies of flames would self-destruct from the backflow of elementium after their fire core had been slashed in half by the Shredder’s metal chainsaw.
One had to admit that the ultra magical alloys that Greem had exhausted to forge this Second Grade magical machine warrior were well worth the money. Even the iron-hard bodies of the magma hounds couldn’t stop the wild slashing power of the metal chainsaw. The fire cores of the elementium creatures couldn’t resist the piercing power of the metal drill.
Unless it was seven or eight high-grade fire elementals self-destructing at the same time, the explosions had no hope of damaging Tigule who was hiding inside the Goblin Shredder.
Bug Adept Billis, who was only First Grade, was so terrified at the chaotic scene of flying fireballs and ravaging flame streams that he dug underground. Though the ground–which was nearly two hundred degrees warm–wasn’t all that comfortable, it was better than being hit by the barrage of fireballs from the fire elementium creatures.
Mary hid in the center of the group. Initially, she was invested enough to jump into the battlefield and instantly murder anyone who came close with her rapid speed. However, after a while, the dense concentration of fire elementals turned the place into a suffocating sea of fire. Mary had no choice but to stay by Greem’s side and took out the crimson longbow she had neglected for a long time to start revising her archery skills.
The tall dragonborn, Zacha, followed closely behind Greem, helping him cover for any attacks from the rear. His lightning spear pierced and scattered the elementium fireballs flying across the sky. The heatwave that radiated from the explosion was no more than a warm breeze of wind; they couldn’t harm his body.
The group of adepts charged ahead as they slaughtered the elementals. In the blink of an eye, they had fought their way through the siege of fire elementals and made it to Un’Goro Volcano.
One had to admit that the Orb of Deceit that Mary had sold to Oliven was very effective.
Oliven was part of Greem’s party, but none of the fire elementals’ attacks were directed at her. She casually walked alongside the adepts, occasionally dodging a stray fireball and became the most carefree person of the group.
By the time Greem and his party reached the volcano, the swarming fire elementals stopped at the foot of the mountain and glared at them, but they didn’t continue following them.
That was because the volcano was the territory of the powerful fire lord!
