Age of Adepts

The elder fire element is dead!

A Tier 2 Fire Elemental Elder just died aggrieved under the bombardment of Greem and the terrifying Balrog.

In the world of wizards, any second-level wizard has a lot of life-saving witchcraft and abilities, and it is impossible to fall away so easily. If a Tier 2 wizard really died in battle, it would immediately become a sensational event in the local area.

But on this fire elemental plane full of flame creatures, the death of a second-level creature is as common as killing a chick by an ordinary farmer. Not to mention that someone jumped out to help him avenge, even the flame creatures wandering around in the distance didn't care about what happened here.

As long as Greem and the others didn't kill them, they would still roam the Burning Plain leisurely, looking for things that would help them evolve.

Of course, this is also a sign that their intelligence has not yet evolved into complete wisdom. Otherwise, in the face of two vicious Tier 2s fighting to the death here, they should have fled as far as they could!

After a brutal flame war ended, Greem only had two more red crystals in his hand.

A crystal clear fiery red crystal with a warm and jade-like appearance. Only by holding it in front of your eyes and examining it carefully can you see a strange flame slowly cruising inside the hard crystal.

And the other one is a heart-shaped gemstone burning with fiery flames, and a hot fire can be felt in it.

Elemental creatures are worthy of being elemental creatures. Even though they have reached the second level, they are still so poor that it makes people teary. Greem worked so hard that he even summoned the terrifying Balrog. After killing the tier 2 fire elemental elder, he only got a tier 2 flame core.

If he didn't have the means to instantly kill that guy just now, forcing him to blow himself up, Greem wouldn't even be able to get a single hair out of him in the end. If such a thing really happened, Greem might not even be able to cry!

The Fire Elemental Plane itself is a large plane, and the amount of flame creatures in it can be calculated in trillions. Moreover, flame creatures do not have a lifespan limit like other intelligent races. Seriously speaking, they actually belong to a special kind of long-lived species.

It's just that the vast majority of elemental creatures are still ignorant, ignorant, and single elemental bodies that have not even been born with spiritual consciousness. They don't have the concept of good and evil recognized by mortal races, but that doesn't mean they don't have wisdom.

In fact, the mightiest of them are far more intelligent than mortals—maybe even more than dragons, because their existence is far longer and older than dragons.

In the elemental world, although the elemental creatures are terribly lazy and do not have any extraordinary cultivation talents, with the huge number of bottom layers and the accumulated strength improvement over time, they still pile up powerful creatures that scare most material planes. number of participants.

Otherwise, Greem wouldn't have encountered a free-roaming Tier 2 Fire Elemental Elder in this desolate and remote place. And the other party obviously had no winks, and lacked the instinctive perception of danger, so he actually had a head-on conflict with Greem, a creature of the same level, for a piece of flame essence.

And the result of this is that while Greem obtained the Essence of Fire, he also took a fresh and hot Tier 2 Fire Core into his pocket. As long as there is a chance to return to the Flame Throne, Greem will naturally have the means to turn this second-level flame core into a loyal and reliable elemental puppet.

So after thinking about it, Greem had to admit that this Fire Elemental Plane was actually the most suitable place for him to train and grow his muscles. As long as he is given a hundred years, he is absolutely sure to pull up a golem army composed entirely of Tier 2 element golems.

At that time, it didn't seem like a bad thing for him to change his career here to be a 'little' flame lord.

At least, the clumsy elemental creatures here are much easier to deal with than those wizards of the same level!

After thinking about it, Greem didn't rush to leave the burning plain. Instead, he found a relatively peaceful crypt nearby, and impatiently absorbed the flame essence inside.

The assassination of the flame lord is strange everywhere. If you contact the flame lord prematurely, it is easy to directly trigger the death trap set by the enemy. So Greem made up his mind a long time ago, treating this assassination mission as a rare 'vacation' and 'experience'.

Now that some treasures have been found here, it is natural to linger here for a few more days.

Each piece of such flame essence is extremely precious to the fire witch.

After all, in the world of wizards, treasures that can improve the affinity of elements are all expensive. Now that there is a chance to get it for free, Greem will naturally not let it go easily.

So, for the next month, Greem temporarily stayed in this uncracked crypt, quickly digesting and absorbing the flame essence day after day.

While he was busy, the terrifying Balrog was not idle either.

Greem released hundreds of flame golems at the level of junior apprentices in one breath, and let them spread over the surrounding burning plain for dozens of kilometers, silently monitoring the surrounding movement. Once a high-value fire treasure or magic gemstone is found erupting from the ground, the terrifying Balrog will promptly dispatch it to snatch it into its hands.

For a moment, there was a lot of turmoil on the Burning Plain.

Those smarter flame creatures knew that a strong man was coming nearby, so they ran away knowingly. Anyway, the Fire Elemental Plane is so big, there are too many similar natural dangers to count, and they don't need to confront this terrifying strong man head-on for some resources and treasures.

And the ones left behind are all ignorant, idiots who haven't even had an independent soul consciousness.

Therefore, the terrifying Balrog worked hard, while Greem, the big boss behind the scenes, was enjoying his profits, and lived happily in this area, eating well. If you put aside other physical needs, Greem, a fire wizard, would definitely progress faster on the elemental plane of fire than in the world of wizards.

a month later.

Inside the silent cave, a humanoid statue wrapped in thick ash suddenly trembled.

He didn't know what to do, the volcanic ash that had condensed on Greem's body was like melting first snow, quickly melting and flowing down his body.

Greem slowly opened his eyes as the ashes on his eyebrows and eyelids rolled down.

Suddenly, two blinding golden flames lit up in the deep, dark red cave, illuminating the entire space bright yellow.

"Chip, check my current body data!"

"Drip, accept the main body's instructions, and the self-test will start now..."

As the familiar running sound of the chip sounded again, a light curtain was projected in Greem's mind, which listed his basic physical data in detail.

Greem, Tier 2 Intermediate, Occupational Status: Elemental Sorcerer (Fire Specialization), Basic Physical Data: Strength 11+1 (18), Constitution 13 (20), Dexterity 10 (8), Spirit 26+1 (29), Note: Brackets Inside is the post-transformation data, professional skills: Body of Flame, Balrog Transformation.

In the world of wizards, Greem's basic strength is nothing more than a powerful fire witch at the second-level intermediate level. Perhaps on a large-scale battlefield, his powerful fire witchcraft can exert frightening power. However, in small-scale wizard battles, the fire witch lacks sufficient mobility, and it is difficult to get rid of the close entanglement of other wizards.

This is also a well-known fact!

However, once Greem completely transforms into a Balrog, his basic strength will also skyrocket a lot. With a mental power of 29 points and a constitution of 20 points, he could sweep away most wizards of the same level and become a terrifying demon king who ruled the battlefield.

The only pity is that even if he sealed a Balrog's heart in his body, he couldn't sustain the Balrog's transformation for too long. If he goes all out, the sustainable time of Balrog's transformation will only be a short quarter of an hour.

Within a quarter of an hour, Greem, who had exploded with all his strength, could even be distinguished from those powerhouses at the third level. But it would take more than a quarter of an hour, and Greem, who was beaten back to his original form, was no more than a middle-level level 2 wizard, and could be tortured to death by a third-level wizard in a matter of minutes.

However, if the battlefield is placed on this fire elemental plane, then Greem is confident that he can extend his Balrog transformation time to two quarters of an hour.

For him, this is no less than doubling his strength!

My current soul imprint has been locked by the original contract, and it is difficult to change substantially. Therefore, when Greem checked the self-test information, his attention was not on the basic data of the body, but on the elemental affinity.

Following Greem's attention, a bar graph slowly emerged.

From top to bottom, the ribbons of different colors represent Greem's body's affinity for various mysterious forces.

The top one is of course the one with the highest affinity, descending in descending order.

Ranked first is the fire system, its length is almost the sum of the lengths of all other color belts, and its color is naturally a vivid and dazzling bright red.

The second place is the earth system, its length is only 1/4 of that of the fire system, and its color is also dull khaki.

The third place is the metal system, its length is only 1/12 of the fire system's ribbon, and its color is even more dull rust color.

As for the affinity ribbons at the back, there are five or six more, but they are all pitifully short, making Greem not even interested in checking them out.

The longer the color band, the higher the affinity between the elemental particles of this pedigree and Greem's body. In this way, in the daily meditation and exercise process, Greem's achievements with the same effort will be greater.

During these days, Greem devoured and digested the flame essence here, which also increased his fire affinity ribbon by at least 1/7. Moreover, if you look closely, you can vaguely see a trace of strange gold from the bright red belt of the fire system.

This golden color represents Greem's own understanding of the rules of fire.

In time, when Greem's knowledge and comprehension of the rules of fire reaches the level of control, that is, the moment when he possesses the power of rules...

As for the power of rules, only a fourth-level wizard can touch the highest realm!
