Chapter 978 A Savage Battle
The first ones to charge onto the battlefield were naturally those fire creatures who acted as cannon fodder.
Low-grade fire elementals, fire spirits, fire deities, fire wolves, magma hounds, infernals, and fire giants.
All sorts of fire creatures of various shapes and forms swarmed out from behind Greem, roaring as they rushed at the four adepts standing above the crater. Waves of wild fire magic devoured the adepts before the creatures even arrived.
Though this wave of attacks seemed incomparably ferocious, there were no powerful fire spells mixed within. Most of these fire creatures’ innate powers only included the use of elementium fireballs.
Purple light flashed in Benija’s eyes, and an intangible mental fluctuation swept across the air, detonating the elementium fireballs before they could reach them.
A tremendous fiery explosion occurred right in front of the four adepts. The aura of the energy flux was shockingly powerful. However, the shockwave from the detonated fireballs was already on its last legs when it reached the adepts. It could not move their seemingly thin defensive forcefields, let alone wound them.
After two waves of useless fire attacks, the massive army of fire creatures had arrived near the top of the crater. Before they could scatter and surround the adepts, Blade Princess Katherine stepped forward. She pushed with her hands, and five metal blades stood in the way of the fire creatures like fluttering butterflies.
Natagu and Benija worked together against Greem, while Katherine and Guinevere held back the elementium magical machine.
Both parties demonstrated their myriad powers and clashed with each other in this volcano crater with a diameter of over two and a half kilometers.
The four hunter adepts had tried to have Katherine alone occupy the elementium magical machine, while the remaining three rained down upon Greem, hoping to kill him through this plan quicky.
Unfortunately, Greem was surprisingly resilient and stood right behind a pool of lava from which he could draw even more power. As such, he stood unyielding against the attacks of three hunter adepts.
In comparison, Blade Princess Katherine became the weakest of the group.
The battle between Greem and the three adepts had yet to come to a conclusion, yet the elementium magical machine already had her on the ropes. A little bit more, and the duel would have ended in a clear defeat.
It was that battle that caused Katherine to sustain even more damage and become further weakened.
However, of the four hunter adepts, neither Benija, the psionic, or Guinevere, the poison adept were suited to dealing with the magical machine. They couldn’t possibly hold it back either. Meanwhile, Serpentine Adept Natagu served as the main force of the attack. It made no sense for him to switch priorities and deal with the irrelevant magical machine.
If he did that, Greem might have enough space to unleash his full might, bringing to bear a shocking threat against them all!
The four hunter adepts had no choice but to rely on this ‘gentler’ approach to slowly wear down the fire adept.
One had to admit that, as the leader of their group, Natagu’s power was genuinely terrifying.
When he transformed into the Black Mamba, he had scales that were as tough as the elementium magical machine’s body of steel, as well as exceptional magic resistance that could compare to that of the dragons.
With his powerful physical and magical resistances, Natagu could even charge into the lava and engage Greem in a melee. Whenever the two of them fought at their full strength, it would be as if Gangsas Volcano had erupted in full force. Wave after wave of blistering lava would surge out of the crater, along with plumes of volcanic ash that could blot out the sun itself.
The earth rumbled as if it would be torn asunder, and the entire vicinity of the volcano became a near-apocalyptic land of destruction where no living being could approach!
The shockwaves created by the battle between the adepts caused the volcano to erupt with increasing frequency and intensity. All humans and creatures within fifty kilometers of Gangsas Volcano started to flee into the distance in front of this indescribable threat.
