Chapter 1088 Security Arcane Tower
A massive arcane tower was flying through the skies!
It was something unimaginable in the World of Adepts.
A standard small adept’s tower typically had five to seven surface levels and two basement levels. Every level was around eight meters tall. When necessary, they could even be expanded up to twenty-five meters tall.
Adept’s towers were forged of unique stone materials that were further reinforced with magical runes. Mithril, platinum, magical gemstones, and other adept resources were used in many core areas. In addition to the necessary magical golems and facilities, an adept’s tower easily weighed over four hundred tons.
To lift such a heavy and massive object into the air and allow it to move and fly around freely was unimaginably difficult. Just the thought of such a colossal task would leave one speechless.
However, such a miracle was presenting itself before Greem and the other adepts. They had no choice but to believe that this was reality.
The arcane tower currently flying in the skies was visibly different in appearance to the last one they had conquered.
That astral construct could summon starlight to repair its damage. An enemy like that could not be defeated quickly. Meanwhile, the fire giant was over a dozen meters tall. Even the tall, ancient trees only reached its waist while it stood in the forest.
However, the Fourth Ring arcanist felt no fear of this massive creature.
Elementiumized body, gigantified body. These were not techniques unique to the adepts. Almost every single high-grade caster could master such abilities. That said, very rarely did people use these abilities in battles against enemies of the same level.
There was a simple reason for that. A gigantified body might seem majestic and domineering, but without a large amount of elementium energy to sustain that form, it was no more than cotton candy. A few attacks would break the body, making it a wholly unintimidating paper tiger.
Moreover, one’s defense would also be stretched thin due to the massive increase in size. There would be weaknesses and gaps all over the place.
Gigantification might be incredibly effective when used to crush weaker planar natives, but it was little more than arrogance against a Fourth Ring arcanist protected by a security tower!
The Fourth Ring arcanist instantly assumed the opponent to be an inexperienced rookie. He smiled wickedly and drove the security tower straight at the flame giant. Meanwhile, the arcane guards around the tower swarmed at the astral construct in an attempt to stall it.
The Fourth Ring arcanist intended to defeat the adepts one by one, starting from the weakest first!
Greem stood tall above the forest.
Blazing fire shrouded his massive body, and rivers of flames coiled around him. Every tree within a kilometer of himself had ignited the moment he appeared, and the fire quickly spread outwards.
Fire burning upon flames, flames growing upon fire!
Every substance within sight was quickly ignited.
A strange Heart of Principles beat fiercely and rhythmically inside the fire giant’s thick and firm chest. A golden fire of surprising heat would spew forth every time it pumped, and tiny golden vortices of flame would be left behind in core locations all over the giant’s body where the golden fire spread.
These golden flame vortices were like miniature elementium portals. They directly connected to the Fire Elementium Plane and drew an endless supply of fire energy from there to replenish the consumed energy. There were over a hundred of these elementium channels simultaneously refreshing Greem’s body with fire energy. It left him with no possibility of ever running out!
A very human smile appeared on Greem’s fiery face as he looked at the approaching tower. He lifted his left hand, creating a massive Lava Shield over it. He then raised his right hand, causing the fire coral staff to manifest in his grasp.
The first was naturally a magical creation, while the latter was magical equipment that had been converted into an energy form: half material and half ethereal.
It was a new way of using magical equipment that Greem had recently discovered.
After all, most magical equipment was crafted with an adept’s human form in mind. Upon elementiumization and gigantification, the original staff would become as tiny as a beanstalk. Even pinching it with his fingers would be difficult.
However, if he placed the magical equipment inside his gigantified elementium body and supplied it with a constant amount of fire energy, he could materialize energy equipment of the right proportion, with all its original traits.
As Greem’s Heart of Principles operated at full capacity, the Fire Throne Set and Sodden’s Holy Ring also started to appear on his colossal body.
Greem looked at the approaching tower and chuckled. He lifted his staff, and a massive meteor crashed down from the skies, swerving unnaturally towards the enemy.
