Chapter 883 Secret Battle
Inside Molten Fire City.
A small welcome banquet was well underway.
Greem and the newly arrived sealing master were undoubtedly the stars of tonight’s banquet. They were welcomed warmly by the leaders of Molten Fire City.
Unlike the banquets of the past, this welcoming banquet was held in a massive stone hall. The ones participating in the feast were all adepts of Second and Third Grade.
The three deputies of Molten Fire City had all attended the banquet as well, though one of them was clearly a body created with a projection spell.
Karak.
Male, Third Grade, Elementium Adept (Poison).
“The internal temperature of the lava sea Adept Freina brought me to is over 3,400 degrees. The pressure of the lava is also over 212 points. I have no problem moving in there, but anyone else, even the few of you here, won’t be able to last more than an hour.”
The three Molten Fire deputies exchanged looks when they heard Greem’s words.
“We also came up with a hunting plan after recruiting the two of you.” Karak slowly said.
“Oh? Why don’t you tell us about it!” Yunid’s sharp voice rang out.
“We intend to set up a trap near the underground mines and lure the flaming tiger into the trap. Once the tiger has entered the trap, Lord Dorian will use the runic arrays hidden in the mines to expel all fire powers within one kilometer. When that happens, Miss Yunid can take the opportunity to seal it.”
“Then what will I do?” Greem asked with a frown.
“Of course, you will have to hide in the lava sea ahead of time. Once the flaming tiger has walked into the trap, we will be responsible for capturing the tiger. You need to obstruct its escape path. We must not let the flaming tiger escape into the lava sea again!”
Greem frowned again.
As the person responsible for the operation, Karak had arranged for all the deputies to be together, such that they could protect each other. Yunid was also hidden in the shadows and only needed to come out when the flaming tiger had nowhere else to run. This way, it seemed like all the risk was placed on him.
Once the flaming tiger had entered the trap, it would most definitely fight with all of its power to escape back into the lava sea.
He was the one who had to put his finger in the gun barrel. Hehehe, what a good mission!
Greem caressed his chin and chuckled coldly, his face full of dissatisfaction.
“Sir Greem, if the mission is a success, we can make the decision and add a hundred kilograms of Queyras ore to the mission reward.”
A hundred kilograms of Queyras ore? If it was refined into Queyras alloy, it probably wouldn’t even be enough for half a space furnace, much less the expensive magic generator furnace.
Greem finally stopped smiling and spoke with a serious tone: “Lord Karak, that is a Third Grade flaming tiger! Push a tiger into a dead end, and it will retaliate with all it has. I’m afraid I will have a tough time dealing with the tiger alone. I cannot bear the crime of letting it escape if it does manage to do so!”
Karak finally betrayed an awkward expression. He turned around and had a simple discussion with the other two deputies before finally turning toward Greem again.
“How about this……we of Molten Fire City will assign two Second Grade fire adepts to you. They will listen to all your orders. If the mission is a success, we…we will be willing to pay you one hundred and seventy kilograms of Queyras ore!”
At this point, Greem knew that this was their psychological bottom line. He had no choice but to nod and agree to the offer reluctantly.
“The operation will be set for two from now. Lord Dorian will arrange the runic arrays as soon as possible. Once the trap is set, we will act according to the plan and hope that the tiger falls for it.”
…………
Inside Cindral’s den.
The adepts were secretly discussing the details of their plan in the distant city. Lord Karak probably never expected everything in the room to be projected to these two through the soul brand of the fire clone.
Cindral crouched on the pile of metal ores, watching the projection of the fire clone intently and listening to all the things that the adepts were saying.
Though he was confident in its fire powers, Cindral still felt fear creep up his heart when he heard of the arrangements of the adepts.
If…if he didn’t know about all this and was lured into the trap with ore as bait, the chances of escaping the attacks of five Third Grade adepts was nearly zero!
Those weren’t five cabbages; they were five Third Grade adepts!
In all honesty, just the array master alone had managed to wound Cindral last time through the use of his strange magical abilities.
It horrified Cindral, who had always looked down upon the human adepts.
He had no choice but to admit that though the human adepts were far inferior to the powerful elementium creatures when it came to their Physique and control of elementium powers, they were far, far ahead of elementium creatures in terms of combat techniques and schemes.
Even this fearless tiger couldn’t help but want to run when he heard of this sinister plan.
“You heard it as well. Those bastards are planning to lay down such a terrifying trap in the mines. I think we should cancel our plans for operation for the moment! I…I can run off elsewhere and play for a few years. I will just come back once they’ve run out of patience!” Cindral said with some hesitation.
The fire clone was speechless when he heard these dejected words come out from his ally’s mouth.
Still, at least he had a new understanding of how difficult dealing with fire creatures could be!
In all sincerity, Cindral’s plan was the simplest way to deal with the problem, but also one that made Greem speechless. Still, it was not to Greem’s benefit, and thus, he had no choice but to refute the idea.
“Cindral, do you not believe in my mind? Don’t worry; I will come up with the perfect plan and make their operation go in vain. Meanwhile, we can find ourselves a bountiful harvest and leave immediately after!” Greem could only use his oratorical skills and try his best to persuade this sly flaming tiger.
“Your plan better be as good as your speaking skills, otherwise don’t even think of having me go to the mine to deliver myself to death!”
