Chapter 396
Chapter 396 Soap Opera
What did it feel like to witness a fire adept transform into a Flame Fiend right before your eyes?
No one understood the feeling better than Sabrina!
Just a moment earlier, a muscular young adept had stood beside her.
The next instant, overbearing flames surged from within his powerful body as if there was portal to a fire elementium plane hidden within him. The wild elementium flames blasted out of every orifice. His eyes, his ears, his mouths, his nose, and even every single pore on his body radiated heat. The scalding fires forced Sabrina to retreat. Otherwise, she would also have been swallowed and consumed by this explosion of burning waves.
Red flame shrouded Greem’s body. A dominant will guided them and forced them into the shape of a delicate armor. Savage flames roared and roiled beneath this armor of fire. They mixed with black and red lava to forge a horrifying magma body.
Greem’s majestic figure continued to increase size as the fires billowed. Soon, he was twice the size of his human form. A smoldering magma hand grabbed at the forest spirit, bringing with it an endless cloud of fire as it whistled through the air.
“Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!” The forest spirit cursed as she dug into the ground with her roots. She tried her best to stop her body’s momentum while whipping her vine arms at the magma hand.
A wicked and determined expression washed over Gargamel’s sinister face when he saw his threats fail. He reached into the air and dragged the black cat out of the space.
“Don’t. Don’t. Please don’t…” The black cat seemed to have an idea of what Gargamel wanted to do. It struggled frantically in an attempt to escape, but, as Gargamel’s accompanying beast, it was at his mercy.
“Sarikas, barter of equal value.”
Black light flashed in Gargamel’s hands as he quickly chanted the words of his spell. The black cat disappeared, supplanted with the poor forest spirit. A black cat had replaced the forest spirit in Greem’s grasp!
Greem was shocked, but he quickly balled his hand into a fist. The black cat that was trying to turn incorporeal immediately cried out in pain. The magma hand squeezed slightly, and the sound of a cracking skull rang out.
“Wait, please.” The forest spirit that had just managed to escaped shouted from behind Gargamel.
Greem stopped applying pressure with his fingers. Instead, several fire runes enclosed the black cat and sealed away any chance of its escaping. Greem turned towards the two people twenty meters away from him after doing this.
“Could you please not kill the black cat? The two of us are willing to sign subordinate contracts with you. We will serve you in exchange for the black cat’s life. Would that be fine?” The forest spirit stuttered with fear plastered to her face.
“No, Eva. Leave me, run! You can turn your body incorporeal and escape from here. Quick! Go…” Gargamel’s withered and wrinkled old face appeared to be unbelievably emotional at this moment. His expression when looking at the forest spirit contained an immensely pure love.
“No, Black Cat is far too important to you!” The forest spirit rebutted furiously, “You sacrificed way too much of your Spirit to obtain it. You will turn mad if it dies! Do you intend to abandon me…and our child?”
Greem was completely stunned!
If it weren’t because of the tense face-off they faced right now, Greem would likely have taken out a wooden stool and enjoyed this sappy romance drama between an adept and a magical creature. It was particularly so when Eva mentioned the child. Greem felt like he had been struck by lightning. He almost went insane from the comprehension of what was happening.
His eyes floated towards the forest spirit’s translucent abdomen.
