Chapter 1045 Origin Fire
How could Greem not have been aware of his opponent’s sudden assault with how cautious and careful he was?!
Greem blasted away with his Boots of Ash without hesitation after emerging from the pillar of fire. His body had just moved from his prior position when an incomparably violent blade of light caught the pillar of fire and cleaved it into countless sparks.
Greem’s body of flames stepped upon the uneven pile of corpses and quickly dodged about the battlefield. Two blinding streams of fire spread out around his back like a cape of flame. He deftly dodged around in the narrow space with the pushing power of the fire jets, avoiding all of the sword lights that Gallow sent at him.
If Greem were running with his feet alone, his twelve points of Agility would not have allowed him to escape the slashes, even if he were to run as fast as he could.
However, with the use of his magical powers and his mind, Greem was growing increasingly skilled at controlling the flames. He came up with this new means of movement that was compatible with his skills.
After creating magma armor with his flames, he could manipulate violent fire energy to shoot out of small holes on the back of it, driving his entire body to glide forward explosively.
Greem had even ordered the Chip to spend a vast amount of time and computing power to design a whole new magma armor for him for this express purpose. The unique aspect of his magma armor wasn’t its defensive protection, but the small holes that were spread all over the middle and surface layers.
Greem was quickly running away.
Just now, he had managed to activate the new fire spell that the Chip had simulated– Origin Fire!
It was a principle fire that combined the holy light’s characteristic of ignoring magical resistance and defenses. Greem should only have been able to master this fire after advancing to Fourth Grade.
However, with the aid of the Fourth Grade Sodden’s Holy Ring, he could successfully unleash the fire after a series of complicated and inconvenient energy conversions.
Unfortunately, the instant he successfully managed to cast Origin Fire, his Flame Fiend’s Heart withered by a great deal!
The Flame Fiend’s Heart was the heart of a Second Grade demon that Greem had transplanted earlier in his life, after all.
The Flame Fiend’s Heart had provided Greem with endless fire energy over the years, allowing him to trump one powerful enemy after another. However, with every step Greem took towards greater heights, the Second Grade Flame Fiend’s Heart gradually stopped becoming a source of strength. Now, at the peak of Third Grade, it was even dragging down the progression and improvement of his power.
Take what happened earlier, for instance. The Origin Fire’s demand for fire energy had gone beyond the limits of the Flame Fiend’s Heart. The sudden torrent of flames that coursed through Greem’s body exceeded the capacity of the Flame Fiend’s Heart, burning the heart in the backlash.
If Greem’s body was a wooden bucket, then the Flame Fiend’s Heart was the short plank in the bucket, dragging down Greem when he wanted to unleash his power. If the fire energy surging through Greem’s body exceeded a certain level, he would harm his own body even as he injured the opponent.
It was at this very moment that Greem realized, more than ever, that this body of his was in dire need of changes!
However, regardless of how concerned and anxious he was about the issue, it was something he had to deal with after the fight. Greem still needed to face the formidable Scarface Gallow with all his strength right now.
After all, if Gallow were able to hit him with all thirty-nine points of his Strength, no number of elementium shields would guarantee his personal safety.
