Chapter 127
If the appearance of Magmakin could still be considered human-like, then the Guardian of Flames would be purely a Fire element creature who had reincarnated from an evil creature.
It had a tall and ferocious stature. Countless sharp rock peaks or spikes had covered the entire surface of its body. It had a strength similar to that of the Rock Snake, hence, when it wielded its huge rock fists and fought against the Rock Snake, the entire lava cave would shake and sway violently.
Two huge monsters clashed against each other, rolling on the floor and punching each other fiercely. The massive activity and noise produced by them was not weaker than a remarkable battle between two world-class monsters. Even Greem was forced to step back, so that he could avoid the flying debris and rocks that kept falling off from above.
After nearly ten minutes of violently battling, the Rock Snake finally showed slight signs of defeat.
After all, the rocky body of Rock Snake was temporarily molded using ordinary underground rocks. In comparison, the Guardian of the Flames’ steel body was made up of hard ore and special steel rocks it gathered from different places, when it was wandering in this underground world. Hence, when the Rock Snake lost its advantage in body size and strength, there was no way it could withstand attacks from a relentless opponent like this.
For Greem, however, he always scored his victory through numerical superiority of his golems. Since he couldn’t defeat the enemy with one golem, then he could just send two of them together!
As the result, a moment later, the second Rock Snake made its debut with a loud rumble.
Following the debut of the second Rock Snake, the previously brutal and oppressive Guardian of Flames was defeated swiftly.
Right when he stepped into the lava ocean, the terrifying high temperature had brought a pain that nearly killed Greem instantly. It felt like his body was stabbed by hundreds of thousands of steel needles at the same time, the severe pain had clouded Greem’s conscious immediately.
Like a fresh steak was placed on top of a frying pan, his skin and flesh was made sizzling noises inside of the boiling hot molten lava. Greem’s entire body was fuming with dark smoke and a burned smell started to linger in the air.
Contrary to the torture his body was facing, Greem’s Spiritual Domain had shown an unprecedented activity. Like the flood that had just breached the dam, Fire element energies kept injecting into his body violently, washing and cleaning his body at a constant pace and at the same time, improving his Spiritual Domain bit by bit.
Apparently, there were some mysterious, unidentified, and tough to capture elements that had entered Greem’s body together with the Fire element energies. They were strengthening Greem’s innate talent in the Fire element and forging a brand new Flame Body for him. This method of injecting energy was usually used by those Element Adepts after they successfully advanced into the Adept realm, as once they had a powerful Spirit to control their body, only they could withstand the violent process of body modification.
And this, was the inevitable course for an Element Adept to transform his body into Elementium completely. Only when his body and spirit were at the same frequency and essence, could he lay a solid foundation for the future, which was transforming his spirit into Elementium.
So, when Greem, with the weak overall strength of an Apprentice Adept, tried to set foot in a territory that only official Adepts could handle, it was inevitable that he had to suffer some torture!
