Age of Adepts

In all honesty, if all three adepts were as ferocious as the fire adept, Illhoof would have turned tail and ran without any hesitation. He would rather lose his entire mutated beast army here than risk the death of this clone of his.

Correspondingly, if all three adepts here were as weak as that weird two-headed adept, Illhoof would charge forth without any hesitation.

He would never give up on such high-quality prey!

Unfortunately, the opponent’s group was too strange. Some of them were powerful, and some of them were weak. That made Illhoof somewhat upset.

The weak were the perfect prey, but the strong were simply too difficult an opponent.

Illhoof’s lotus-shaped mouth opened wide as he bent down on all fours. The next instant, his entire body vanished from the spot.

Invisibility, teleportation…or some other unusual ability?

Greem and the others were shocked at what they just saw.

[Chaos Physique activated. Absorbing 270 points of earth elementium.

[Burning Domain magical effect activated. Neutralizing 240 points of earth elementium damage.

[Body of Flames elementium defenses activated. Ignoring 650 points of earth elementium damage.

[Magic resistance countering 410 points of earth elementium damage.]

……

A series of notifications from the Chip instantly filled Greem’s vision. Under the effects of multiple spells and his own Physique, the petrification power that had invaded Greem’s body was greatly weakened. However, the powerful attacks of a Fourth Grade minor Scourge Lord were not to be scoffed at. Even after the series of resistances, Greem’s body still had to endure nearly five hundred points of elementium damage.

Moreover, these five hundred points of petrification power were true damage after all resistances had been applied. Greem could only endure this damage with his 31 points of Physique.

The yellow petrification powers of the beam clashed wildly with the red fire energy, turning the arm into a battlefield of its own. Patches of yellow and red appeared all over the limb as the energies fought for dominance.

Greem let out a pained cry and let out a breath of invisible golden flames from his mouth. Flames surged around him, and multiple flame shockwaves ravaged outwards around him.

Illhoof cackled and stomped the ground with his two front feet. A thick and firm earth wall rose in front of him.

By the time the flame shockwaves tore the earth wall apart, Illhoof had already disappeared.

When he appeared once more, he was thirty meters behind Greem. His mouth trembled, and the ground beneath them started to shake as if there was a massive earthquake. Several thick earth spikes rose from the earth and stabbed towards Greem from every direction.

Seeing that this attack was even more potent than the last one, Greem didn’t dare hold back. He beat his chest with one arm, and an unprecedentedly powerful flame shockwave burst forth, ripping the earth spikes to shreds.

By the time the two Blazing Fireballs he fired landed at Illhoof’s former position, the Scourge Lord was already gone from sight.

After multiple failed attacks and almost being wounded at Illhoof’s hands, Greem’s anger and frustration had reached its peak. He lifted his feet and stomped. The earth beneath him instantly shattered as red lava started to spew forth, turning the area around him into a massive pool of lava.

Heatwaves began to spread outwards from his Body of Flames, causing the temperature to rise from two thousand degrees to seven thousand degrees. An egg-shaped dome that covered over three hundred square meters enveloped him, the inside of which was filled with terrifying golden flames.

Having completed his defenses, fires burned in Greem’s eyes, turning them into two miniature suns as he looked at the ground around him. The two beams of fire from his eyes left behind clear scorch marks in the ground where he looked. Where his gaze lingered, the earth melted, the stone softened, and a small pool of lava was quickly created.

Adept Holly, who was still battling with the mutated beasts, snuck a look at the battlefield over there. The muscles in his face couldn’t help but start twitching violently.

“Monsters. Monsters…all of them, monsters!”

After advancing to Fourth Grade, Adept Holly had become very formidable and powerful due to his unusual astral senses and incredible astral construct. He might not be invincible among Fourth Grades, but he was undoubtedly a well-known rookie among beginner Fourth Grade adepts.

However, today, on this otherworldly planar battlefield, he finally knew what an actual Fourth Grade adept was meant to look like.

Dammit! Those two bastards had already raised the intensity of the battle to such a degree, even though the fight had just barely started.

At this point, the attacks that Illhoof and Greem were exchanging easily reached two thousand points of compound elementium damage. Even with the toughness and magic resistance of his astral armor, Adept Holly would have a hard time against such attacks.

How was he supposed to join a battle like this?
