Age of Adepts

On the elemental plane of fire, all flame creatures are free!

Different from the relationship between lords and subjects in other material planes, Artes, the second-level flame lord, only has control over Dustfire Canyon, but does not have command over all flame creatures in the city.

Seriously speaking, the only ones in the entire Dustfire Canyon that really belonged to Lord Artes were his lava giant guards and a fire elemental army with a number of more than 300. The other flame creatures belong to the 'free people' and are not under the command and jurisdiction of Artes.

Therefore, when the captain of the second-level lava giant angrily wanted to capture all the fire spirits for interrogation, it immediately aroused the anger and riots of all the flame creatures.

There are no rookies among the flame creatures that can appear in the Dustfire Canyon. Seventy to eighty percent of them are formed fire spirits, flame spirits, and fire elements that have already advanced, and there are also wanderers of the second and third ranks.

When the lava giants began to rush into the flame city one by one, arresting those free-roaming fire spirits, they immediately spread chaos to every corner of the city.

Greem also took the opportunity to wander into an unnoticed corner, took out a bottle of blue voodoo potion from his bosom and gulped it down. After a while, his flame-shrouded body suddenly became clear and transparent, and after a while, even the last part of the phantom completely disappeared without a trace.

On tiptoe, after being invisible, Greem cautiously slid to the towering flame hall in the deepest part of Dustfire Canyon.

Artes, the flame lord, lives in the flame hall, which is different from other places. In the center of the hall is a lava fire pool with a radius of half a mile. The fire pool went straight to the depths of the ground, and a crimson magma fire column kept rising, stirring the entire fire pool to boil.

At this moment, the Atres lord was half lying in the lava fire pool, splashing hot lava slurry on himself with a large lava hand the size of a millstone. When the astonishingly high-temperature crimson slurry flowed wantonly on its rough and solid lava body, the abundant flame energy penetrated into its flame core through the rock skin, making it unable to help but hum softly.

The lava fire pool under it is not a natural magma pool from the outside world, but a strange formation that took advantage of the special terrain and terrain in the Dustfire Canyon to block all the ground fire exits and guide the high-temperature underground slurry here. Lava fire pool.

For a flame creature like it, only by soaking in the pure flame energy day after day and constantly absorbing it into the core of the flame can its own strength grow little by little.

Due to the monotonous elemental characteristics of the Fire Elemental Plane, apart from fire-type materials and rare treasures, there are almost no other advancement materials. Therefore, apart from accumulating day after day, the strong on the Fire Elemental Plane cannot travel through thousands of planes like a wizard to find knowledge and resources suitable for them.

After returning from the direct lord, Artes was stationed in the hall of flames, handing over the task of hunting and finding human wizards to his subordinates, while it enjoyed the happy life of bathing in the high-temperature slurry.

And this enjoyment, that is, the time of half a year has passed in a blink of an eye!

Arthur is in no hurry.

Just like most flame creatures, it has no concept of time in its heart.

Although the immediate lord assigned it a task, it did not set a time limit for the completion of the task. Therefore, it can still enjoy its comfortable life as a lord while slowly waiting for that mysterious wizard.

However, today, just as it was soaking contentedly in the slurry pool, a violent flame wave suddenly came from the distance of the city. Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar spread along the canyon into the hall.

Um? what happened?

Artes suddenly stood up from the slurry pool, red hot viscous slurry flowed down from its burly and solid lava body, and flames and heat waves as high as nearly 10,000 degrees instantly swept across the entire hall of flames.

Boom boom boom...

With heavy steps, Artes came to the entrance of the flame hall, perched on the steps, overlooking the flame city in the distance. There were roaring flames and flying fireballs, as if a turmoil was spreading to the entire city.

"What's going on?" Artes's huge voice like a thunderbolt from the clear sky echoed in the hall: "What happened in my territory? Why is there a mess? Where is the fire?"

The two lava giants guarding the entrance of the hall knelt on one knee and reported in a buzzing voice: "My lord, just now Captain Huo Lie sent back the news that he found the Huo Ling spies, and they are arresting them now!"

"Nonsense!" Artes immediately became angry: "Nearly 70% of the free people in this city are fire spirits. Is Huoli planning to arrest them all? This stiff-headed guy, you, go and inform it , give up the arrest immediately, and let my city restore peace immediately..."

"Understood!" A lava giant agreed in a low voice, turned around and strode towards the center of the city.

A moment later, when Artes' order was carried out and executed, the city that had just been in turmoil immediately returned to tranquility. During the whole turmoil, in addition to twenty or thirty fire spirits who suffered from the disaster of pond fish and were beaten up by the lava giants, some buildings in the center of the city were also affected, collapsed and smashed several shops.

Regarding these, the lava giants would never compensate or apologize, so those fire spirits who had regained their freedom could only curse a few words angrily, and then ran out of Dustfire Canyon to find a place to heal their injuries.

After being invisible, Greem spotted the huge figure standing tall at the entrance of the flame hall from a distance. From its majestic aura and the attitude of the surrounding flame creatures towards it, Greem is 80% sure that it is the target of his trip.

That Tier 2 Flame Lord Artes!

Compared with human lords or kings, Artes's own protection can be described as rough and crude. If it were replaced by those human kings, there would be high walls and fortresses on the outside, and a large number of guards on patrol inside, and there would be specially hired strong personal guards at every turn.

Even so, some kings still felt uneasy, and set up a large number of traps near their residences, in order to prevent assassinations and surprise attacks by outsiders.

But this set obviously doesn't work on the Fire Elemental Plane!

In the final analysis, Artes himself is the most powerful individual in the entire Dustfire Canyon, so it doesn't need too much useless garbage to surround itself.

Greem walked around the flame hall several times in stealth, only to find two lava giants standing guard at the entrance of the hall. The Flame Hall is an open space supported by dozens of thick lava pillars. The spacious space is enough for Greem to enter and exit without hindrance.

Close the cat in the bullpen!

Such a lava column may be able to block a giant like a lava giant, but for Greem, who is only 3 meters in size, it is as spacious as a flat passage. Greem dodged the two lava giant guards far away, entered the hall of flames from another direction, narrowed his eyes slightly, and silently looked at the second-level flame lord Artes.

This is a lava giant with a height of 5 meters.

Its body is entirely made up of huge pieces of lava rocks, and between the cracks in the rock blocks, a blindingly dazzling red light shines through. A stream of liquid red magma slowly flowed inside, and even forty or fifty steps away, one could feel the astonishingly high temperature emanating from its sturdy body.

The blue light in Greem's pupils flickered slightly, using a strange magic spectrum to outline circles of red heat waves constantly overflowing around him.

Although the opponent didn't deliberately increase its strength, its own flame energy has spontaneously formed a flame field around it.

All creatures who step into it will suffer fire damage with an energy intensity of up to 68 degrees!

Seriously speaking, the flame barrier inspired by Greem is actually the embryonic form of the flame domain. It should be a weakened version of the flame halo simulated by wizards through witchcraft based on the inspiration and knowledge obtained from flame creatures.

Fearing that the flame energy in his body would be noticed by the opponent, Greem didn't dare to get too close to the opponent, so he could only silently analyze and collect the opponent's strength data from a distance.

According to the extent to which the flame energy on the opponent's body distorts the light and the energy breath that escapes, the chip quickly projected the approximate data parameters of this second-level flame lord Artes in Greem's mind.

Artes, level 2, lava giant, dust fire canyon flame lord, basic body data: strength 27 constitution 24 agility 7 spirit 13...

Seeing the opponent's strength and physique breaking through 20 points, Greem frowned and became worried.

From this point of view, this level 2 flame lord is also taking the route of violent power output, and his strength and physique are already so high. With its 24 points of physique, even if it suffered 2-3 level 2 witchcraft from Greem in front of it, it would not hurt its muscles or bones.

And with its 27 points of power, I'm afraid it could smash Greem's lava shield with a single punch, and punch a big hole in his chest by the way.

What's more, there are two lava giants at the peak of Tier 1 guarding outside the flame hall. Once Greem chooses to sneak attack Artes and cannot kill him within three to five fingers, he will be entangled by the guards who rushed over after hearing the sound. At that time, Greem couldn't deal with such a powerful opponent of the same level while being distracted from cleaning up the giant guards.

Greem hesitated for a moment, then slipped out of the flame hall without making a sound.

Of course, before leaving, he also secretly left an eye of witchcraft in the corner of the hall, and then Shi Shiran ran to the dust fire canyon to find a place to hide.

After all, the high-level invisibility potion he drank has a time limit, and he cannot step into the flame halo of Artes, otherwise, once the body is damaged, the invisibility effect will disappear instantly!
