Age of Adepts

Three days later.

An intimate scene was happening in a finely furnished bedroom.

The two naked bodies, one male and one female, were tightly intertwined as they fought with all they had.

“So good, so good…babe, you are the best!”

Freina’s white and naked body was now covered in beads of sweat. Her voice was even somewhat hoarse from all the shouting. Greem, who was still as energetic as before, would occasionally apply fire resistance on her before transforming into the large and powerful Flame Fiend form.

The sudden increase in size from his transformation almost ‘tortured’ Freina to the brink of death. The intense heat that seeped right into her heart gave her an entirely different feeling. If she didn’t have her powers as a Second Grade adept, and if she were any other witch or apprentice, she would never have been able to endure the ‘punishment’ that this legendary adept Greem was doling out.

Yet, just as the two were at the height of their interaction, a red light entered the room and ran into Greem’s red barrier, where it circled about helplessly.

In the end, Yunid was still a Third Grade witch. This bit of pressure wouldn’t be able to stop her. Moreover, with Greem advancing through the lava before her, she did not need to worry about her safety and could concentrate solely on repelling the lava.

Greem suddenly stopped at a large fork in the path.

It was an underground hall. It used to be filled with all sorts of furniture, and a small pile of ores had also been placed in the corner of the room. However, at this moment, all of the items were submerged in boiling lava. All things wooden had vanished without a trace, with only a few unique items barely being able to survive the lava.

Freina struggled and escaped from one of the entrances here. She hurriedly and joyously ran toward Greem when he saw the flame humanoid he had turned into.

It had only been fifteen minutes since they parted, yet Freina was already covered in moderately severe wounds.

Her hot and seductive body was now covered in scorch marks. Three black claw marks scarred her pretty face. All of her exposed skin was also covered in blisters and burns.

Judging by her stumbling gait, it seemed that she was even more severely injured than she looked.

Greem hurried forward to grab her before patting her on the back. A strange magical power surged forth and instantly dispelled all of the flames on her body. In fact, the fire poison that had entered into Freina’s body also turned into sparks of fire and slowly dispersed into the air.

A large air bubble instantly enveloped Freina, allowing her to float within the lava.

“Lord Karak is fighting with the tiger in Mine Three. Lord Dorian’s gone to activate the array. Lord Greem, you must help Lord Karak.” Freina saw Greem as a savior and grabbed his flame hand and shook it.

“I understand. You go out first!”

Greem nodded and slapped the bubble with his hand. The air bubble then flew outward through the tunnel, with Freina inside it.

“It seems Lord Greem makes friends really fast!” Adept Yunid chuckled softly before passing by Greem and diving into Mine 3.

There was a faint smile on Greem’s face as he followed after.

The location where Karak and the tiger were fighting was two hundred meters below Mine Three.

Here, inside a somewhat wider tunnel, two Third Grades of different races were fighting with all their strength.

Karak was now standing in the corner of the tunnel, his back against a stone wall. He waved a small and delicate magical dagger in his hand, fending off the attacks of the tiger that were coming from every direction. The jade green gemstone on his forehead continued to let out ripples of green halos that rapidly polluted everything around him.

It was obvious that Karak was not the match of the Third Grade flaming tiger in melee combat. Still, the tiger appeared to be wary of the short dagger he was waving in his hands and didn’t dare to press forward too aggressively.

The two parties squared off against each other intensely with such attacks and parries, trying to break the stalemate.

Greem and Yunid’s arrival triggered the tiger’s senses. He let out a roar as a massive wave of fire surged toward the two adepts, while he lunged at Karak.

Karak seemed to be prepared for the tiger’s attack. He waved his dagger, and a terrifying jade serpent was quickly formed and bit at the lunging tiger. The gemstone on his forehead let out another wave that shot toward the tiger’s body.

Usually, the tiger would avoid the poison adept’s attacks. Yet, for some reason, the tiger charged into the attacks without dodging; the tiger ran straight into the jade wave and the giant serpent.

Aooooo!

A resounding roar rang out as the flaming tiger smashed through the wave. The dagger had also stabbed into his shoulder. However, the tiger continued to charge forward without hesitation and viciously bit at Karak’s head.

Karak’s poison spells had no use in the lava. There was nothing he could do against the ferocious tiger and could only run desperately toward Greem and Yunid.

Greem and Yunid looked at each other and rushed forward.
