Age of Adepts

“I let you have the Libram of Wisdom last time. You…won’t be fighting with me over the Ancient Reliquary of Deep Winter again, will you?”

Kanganas asked with an unmoving expression.

However, his tone was somber, even carrying with it a trace of caution.

It couldn’t be helped. The terrifying attack that the fire adept had unleashed earlier was too shocking. Even a creature as powerful as Nax had turned and fled, running all the way back to the platform to heal his wounds. Kanganas himself wouldn’t have fared much better than Nax.

That was why Greem’s attitude would be a decisive factor before Kanganas engaged the dragon in battle. He had no choice but to take that into consideration.

“That’s an ultra-grade item, one with dual-attributes. Don’t you think you should compensate me somehow if you’re making me give up on such a treasure!?” Greem had pulled his hood behind his head now, revealing his young and handsome face.

Golden flames burned within his eyes, a glowing crystal on his forehead, a heavy tome in his left hand, a strange staff in his right, and a fire forcefield all around him.

“I will hold the starspirit back. You have thirty minutes to take out the dragon. If you haven’t succeeded after thirty minutes, we will swap opponents. How’s that?” Greem said.

Kanganas hissed in reply when he saw the starspirit appear, “Deal!”

The two of them spared no more words. Both of them drew upon all their power and attacked their enemies furiously.

“Bastard,” Starspirit Tulas shouted angrily as he scrambled and dealt with Greem’s violent attacks. “Fireman, what did the lich promise you? Why do you help him so? Tell me his offer; I will double whatever offer he made. All I ask is for you to stop the lich. How about that?”

Greem chuckled in his giant form, “He’s willing to serve me for a hundred years. Are you able to do that?”

“What? How is that possible?” Tulas said in shock as he dodged the fire spells, “He…he agreed to those conditions? Fi…fine! I can serve you for a hundred years…”

“Two hundred years!” Kanganas’ furious cry rang out from a distance.

Obviously, part of his Spirit observed this area, even while he attacked the skeletal ice dragon.

Two hundred years…that was not a short time, even for a Fourth Grade powerhouse! Liches might not be truly immortal or eternal, but they could still live for a few thousand years.

Two hundred years might not be much to them. They just had to bunker down and tolerate it, and it would be over soon. However, two hundred years was a long and arduous amount of time for most other creatures!

While Tulas stuttered and wondered what to do next, Greem hesitated no longer. He pointed his staff at the opponent, and a ghostly green halo rose from the Tome of Corruption, instantly engulfing the starspirit’s body.

It was a poison halo unleashed with the aid of the Fifth Grade Tome of Corruption. Even though it wasn’t at the level of poison laws, it was already a sufficiently terrifying attack against the unprepared starspirit.

Tulas’ cloud-like body instantly turned into a sickly green color as the plague poison ravaged through his body. Even though the strange void energy killed most of the plague virus, the short conflict that had broken out in Tulas’ body was painful and damaging.

An even more terrifying attack came next. Greem bent down, opened his mouth, and let out a breath of golden flames containing powerful fire laws.

Tulas was in deep trouble now!

For the first time, Greem had amplified this breath of fire with four law effects with the aid of the Orb: Increased Fire Range, Fire Penetration, Invisible Flames, and Fire’s Blast!

Ordinary Fourth Grade adepts might have mastered several different elementium laws, but assimilating the laws into their elementium attacks was very taxing on their Spirit. A typical adept could usually only draw upon a single law power at any one time. An adept who could use two to three laws simultaneously was an elite without any doubt.

Meanwhile, someone who could use four fire laws all at once like Greem would be a feared ruler of their own world!

The multiple fire laws compounded together formed a powerful cluster of laws that instantly affected Starspirit Tulas.
