Chapter 227 Exterminating a Second Grade
A sun slowly lit up between Greem’s palms.
This wasn’t any spell that Greem had cast before. Nor was it some sort of magic-infused item. It was a concentration of pure heat and light!
Greem had abandoned all the external forms of spells and instead concentrated all of the core of his fire powers. He manifested them using the powers of planar laws, causing Blazing Light, the purest form of power, to appear.
It didn’t have the mixed physical and fire damage of the Magma Fireball, or the terrifying flame shockwave of the Explosive Fireball, and especially not the amazing radius of the Scarlet Firestorm. But having abandoned all of this, what was left to the Blazing Light was intensely concentrated light and… heat.
It was just a ray of light!
Its attack radius was not wide. Concentrated within Greem’s palms, it was only as large as an egg and its external form was like a thicker Scalding Ray.
However, when it shot towards the middle-aged radiant knight’s chest, a massive hole was instantly melted in that delicate and perfect golden armor. Furthermore, the flesh and blood under the armor instantly withered and vaporized when it came into contact with the ray of light. A massive hole had been burnt in the radiant knight’s stomach before he even had the chance to dodge or defend.
The excessively rich fire elementium concentrated in a narrow area had severely destroyed the elementium balance there. The scorching heat and terrifying elementium fires gave him the illusion that he was trapped in a plane of pure fire elementium.
Even a mountain of metal would melt into a pool of liquid under the assault of such powerful fire spells. How much better could a radiant knight with a body of blood and flesh fare!
A First Grade Adept challenging and succeeding in slaying a Second Grade being would never happen in the World of Adepts. The strict planar laws and the massive difference in power caused any hopes of using tricks or superiority to compensate for the difference in grade to turn into a mere dream!
This also indirectly reflected the strictness of the Grade system within the adepts’ plane.
However, it was no longer such an absolute situation in a planar war!
As the surging elementium flames slowly dispersed, a person that had been ravaged by the spells, so much that he no longer looked human, fell out from within.
The blood and flesh on his body had been withered and carbonized, and the molten armor had fused with his bones, making him look like a golden skeleton from afar. The grim heat had caused his remaining bones to continuously let out white smoke, as if this last remaining part of his existence would also crumble into ashes.
His runic longsword, knight armor, muscular body, his short brown hair… all the traits that belonged to that radiant knight had completely vanished, leaving behind an unrecognizable skeleton.
Greem stumbled and reverted his Flame Flame Fiend Transformation.
Those short seven seconds of Blazing Light had eaten away at the the purest core and source of his body’s fire powers. This was not something that could be recovered by drinking a couple vials of potions. The only way to recover it was to meditate diligently, day after day, in order to have a chance of accumulating by relying on the powers of planar laws.
After his Blazing Light, the flame spell bombardment had only exhausted to spells within the Scroll of Voodoo. It had not drained any of his Spirit. Otherwise, he might have had to watch the enemy escape before his eyes!
However, the major exhaustion of his Spirit had completely robbed him of all his strength. He could only grab the golden skeleton with one hand and the Scroll of Voodoo with the other as he stumbled back towards the tower.
“Evil Bugs, you take Flame Demon’s position!” Adept Fügen’s voice rang out from afar.
It seemed that Adept Fügen was still closely monitoring the battles from behind, even as he was entangled with two radiant knights.
With this Second Grade radiant knight as his spoils of war, no adept would still object to his ‘desertion’ in the middle of combat. After all, putting themselves into Greem’s shoes, how many among the First Grade adepts here could have the terrifying might needed to exterminate a radiant knight by themselves?
If it had been any other adept, they would probably be hounded by the radiant knights, not to mention unexpectedly turning the tables!
Even those combat adepts that took pride in their abilities couldn’t help but sneak peeks at Greem, even as they were engaged in their own battles. The proud Adept Hyde was included amongst them.
