Chapter 265 The Two-Face Adept

The Head of the Black Glove Association, the Green Dwarf Pyro, quickly retreated with the other adept. The battlefield was left to the two adepts facing off.

As long as they weren’t involved directly in the battle today, the Sarubo would be hard-pressed to find a proper excuse to take revenge for Greem.

Greem hesitated for a moment before putting away the wooden idol he was gripping in his hand. He didn’t crush it.

This was a magic talisman Lady Sanazar had given him.

She had agreed to teleport over to his location and obliterate his enemy, as long as he crushed the wooden idol within a fifty kilometer radius of Feidnan City.

However, it was clear that the enemy had expected this as well.

None of the adepts of the Black Glove Association were acting personally. They had hired a powerful wandering adept to do their job instead. Greem would probably be in trouble if he summoned that violent Lady Sanazar now. After all, even if she teleported over, there would be no one she could kill. It was easy to imagine how mad and annoyed she would be then.

“Chance of victory rises to 41%… “

“Along with the Roaring Monster!”

“Chance of victory rises to 53%… “

Greem silently wiped away the cold sweat.

His chance of victory was not much more than 50%, even after using his two adept-level golems. They were supposed to be part of his standard strength. How was he supposed to feel about this? Just a few days earlier, he had been fantasizing of crushing opponents of equal Grade to him!

“And if I send the Infernal Tyrant along with them?”

“Chance of victory rises to 128%… “

“What if it’s just me and the Infernal Tyrant?”

 “Chance of victory will be 93%… Warning: this percentage does not factor in any hidden powers the enemy might possess!”

“That is enough!”

Greem quickly communicated with the chip and made up his mind.

The mediocre Roaring Monster and Decayer were not enough to turn the tables on such powerful opponents. If he wanted to end this fight as decisively as possible, he would have to use the most powerful force he had at his disposal- the Infernal Tyrant!

On the other hand, there was the Flame Fiend Transformation! But there was still that terrifying side-effect to worry about. The new runes hadn’t properly set yet. Consequently, Greem had no intention to take the risk of transforming in the short term.

Greem no longer hesitated now that he had made up his mind. He exhausted yet another instant-cast spell from the Scroll of Voodoo to deflect Kane’s Freezing Tide. Then, he found an opportunity to flee to the outer rim of the battlefield and instantly tossed the brilliant golem core to the ground.

The next second, a massive amount of fire elementium swallowed the green forest whole. A radius of five hundred meters had been engulfed in fire and smoke. Blinding red light filled the entire battlefield.

Violent fire elementium gathered together under the horrified gaze of Two-face Adept Kane. A four meter tall demon of flame slowly rose beside Greem.

This imposing demon had power rivalling the peak of First Grade. What’s more, its control over flame energies was far superior to the Flame Fiend that Greem always turned into.

When Greem transformed, fire and flame streams would surge all over his body. This looked extremely intimidating, and also made him a terror as he burned down everything around him, but it was also an extreme waste of flame energy. The flame demon that had appeared in a blazing inferno appeared very different from Greem’s Flame Fiend form. The flames around his body was a dark crimson shade, appearing to be much more subdued and concentrated.

Greem was right next to it, and had a perfect view of its body.

This terrifying ruler of flames had not only subdued the ruthless fire, but had even concentrated them and turned them into a solid state, using the fire to forge his own body. Muscles, bones, and even internal organs formed of clusters of flame burned before Greem’s eyes. The dark crimson fire slowly blazed on around the Tyrant’s body, without any of its usual recklessness and violence.

This was a true being born of fire- an Infernal Tyrant!

The few adepts near the battlefield couldn’t help but pay attention to the Infernal Tyrant. Even though it had yet to make a single move, everyone could feel its might.

Dammit! Where did this bastard get his hands on an elementium golem of this level?

For a moment, everyone brooded silently in their minds. Some were angered, while some were curious. Everyone had their own thoughts about the situation!
