Chapter 255 The Might of Adepts
There were no war declarations like the ones ordinary human nobles so liked to use.
Nor were there any insincere greetings.
A fight between adepts erupted the moment everyone involved had arrived!
The old adept known as Cochran continuously waved his hand about in the air. Every time, a strange flashing rune appeared and a terrifying, otherworldly creature would step out of nowhere.
Manticores, Destrachans, Ogre Magi, Wyverns, Formian Worker Ants, Yeth Hounds…
Though none of these creatures were excessively powerful, each and every one of them had a strength that rivaled pseudo-adepts. More importantly, their numbers seemed… a little over-the-top!
These otherworld creatures had traversed space under the influence of magical power. They leapt towards Adept Keoghan the moment they appeared. Keoghan let out a wicked grin and moved forward to engage.
He tossed out an elementium crystal core, and all of a sudden the adept-level Fire Lord stood beside him. The massive Fire Deity had also emerged from the blazing flames on the other side.
The pseudo-adept level Fire Deity was hardly a qualified subordinate at this point. However, it could still make a little impact with its self-destruction!
At that same time Greem extended his right hand, and a flame whip made of concentrated flame energy instantly formed in his hand. With the whip, Greem could make it much harder for McThran to break through Greem’s defenses. The Scroll of Voodoo had also appeared silently in Greem’s burning left hand. Its pages had already started flipping incessantly.
None of the adepts involved in this fight were idiots. The strange form of the Scroll of Voodoo had already caused Carlos and McThran to knot their brows in frustration.
Soul Equipment!
This was most definitely a Soul Equipment!
Unfortunately, they couldn’t tell what effect the Scroll of Voodoo had. After all, all Soul Equipment had their own unique ability. It was hard to determine their effects just through their appearance. If they slipped up and gave the fire adept brat a chance, this soul equipment could probably turn the tides in a single blow!
The two adepts proceeded with this in mind. Naturally, they slowed down their actions and became much more conservative with their attacks and defense.
Greem wouldn’t let them wear him down just like that. As a fire adept, and an elementium adept that was particularly good at creating his own home field advantage, he was going to snatch the upper hand back. Thus, as the three terrifying flame demons roared and attacked with impunity, the battlefield quickly converted into a massive pool of roiling lava.
The foothold left for the two enemy adepts was quickly shrinking!
…………
The few Sarubo Clan elite apprentices were standing by the castle walls, gazing in awe at the battle of the adepts.
If one were to describe the battle between the apprentices as explosive, the battle that was happening now was a volcano! It was as if a gigantic, live volcano had just been plunged into the battle. The raging fires and violent spells ravaged the land, severely altering the geography around Locker Castle.
Even though the castle was five hundred meters away from the battlefield, everyone could still feel the oppressive heat and wind pressure pressing against their faces. The thundering sounds of explosions continued without end. Any single spell that an adept shot out was enough to cause the onlookers’ hearts to clench tight in terror.
If any of the adepts got too engrossed in their fight, they might very well accidentally wipe the castle away along with them.
They weren’t sure if that terrifying Adept Greem was the most powerful adept present. However, they were certain that he was the absolute scariest!
The large patches of lava pooled on the ground, the layers of black and red flame clouds in the skies, and the blazing air inbetween.
This domineering Adept Greem had forcefully turned this place into his home field, all by himself. He had demonstrated to the entire world and to these future adepts, in the most raw and most insane way possible, the terror of a powerful adept!
He also perfectly displayed the tremendous destruction that an adept was capable of. Anyone looking on would feel fear creep into their hearts!
Near the end of the battle, the entire battlefield had turned a bright red. Even the two pseudo-adepts couldn’t see through the elementium tides and peek at the progress of the battle.
…………
Greem’s full prowess was only unleashed once the entire battlefield had turned into a sea of flames.
With his elusive Fire Teleportation, and his agile speed within the sea of flames, he was no longer plagued by his limited agility.
The vicious fire spells also gave him incomparable damage at long distances. Even a Magma Fireball fired off half-heartedly could deal astounding amounts of damage. Moreover, the Flame Fiend Transformation had caused his Physique to go up several times. The seven points of Physique he now had were nearing the levels of body-refining adepts.
This meant that he had both terrifying long-range attacks as well as powerful melee strength!
Greem, who had always been on the receiving end in this battle, seemed to finally have a chance to turn the tables with the home field advantage finally set.
