Age of Adepts

In the following days, Greem started his voyeuristic career!

It's a pity that the Artes lord is like a standard otaku, soaking in the lava fire pool every day, and has almost never seen him go out to patrol the territory or meet his subjects. Even if the captain of the guard occasionally came to report on his work, he would just sit cross-legged in the pool of fire and send him away with a few words.

It can also be seen from this that the flame lords of the fire elemental plane generally do not have too strong a desire for power, and almost devote themselves to absorbing flame energy and improving their own strength. And the way they improve is also so primitive and simple, it's almost ashamed of the high-quality resources and convenience they have.

Under the peeping of the witchcraft eye that Greem secretly placed, this Artes lord no longer has any secrets and privacy for him. During the surveillance and voyeurism that alternated day and night, Greem was also pondering over and calculating a feasible plan to assassinate the other party.

A frontal attack will definitely not work!

The opponent is also a powerful second-tier flame lord. Even if he challenged him in an upright manner, Greem's chances of defeating him would not exceed 40%. If you add those Tier 1 lava giant guards, under their harassment, Greem's winning rate will directly drop to 10%.

If you're unlucky, the tier 2 captain of the lava giant is still by Artes' side, and Greem doesn't even have a 10% chance of winning!

So from the very beginning, Greem made a plan to attack and kill them.

Before taking action, Greem still needed to find a way to weaken the opponent's basic strength. Otherwise, as long as the opponent lasts for seven or eight minutes, the lava giants from the entire Flame City will come and beat Greem up.

Fortunately, before setting off, Greem also bought a batch of Ice Crystal Essence at a high price in the wizard market in consideration of the need to ambush a fire lord in a sneak attack. This is a strange ice marrow taken from the parotid gland of the ice-type monster Snowworm, and it is also a rare and rare material.

A wizard who cultivates the ice system uses it as medicine, which will undoubtedly greatly enhance his own strength. But if the fire witch inadvertently took it, there would be terrible consequences of being polluted by it to the source of the flame.

Of course, with Artes' strength, it would be very difficult for Greem to trick the other party into swallowing the ice crystal marrow, so Greem could only find another way to achieve this indirectly by using other methods.

On this day, Greem slipped out of his hiding place again and sneaked into the city of flames without a sound.

After these days of scouting and scouting, Greem has a clear grasp of the topography of this flame city, and he is even more familiar with the key nodes in it.

In one go, hundreds of alchemy weapons were buried on most of the supporting stone pillars in the flame city. When the scheduled time came, Greem immediately detonated all the weapons remotely without hesitation.

The Flame City, which had been silent for less than 40 days, once again fell into chaos and madness.

The stone pillars supporting the rock wall above were blown off one by one, and the gravel and collapsed rock wall above Dustfire Canyon rolled down, burying nearly 1/5 of the city under the falling rocks.

The deafening roar and the earth-shaking power immediately led Artes, who was resting with his eyes closed, out of the hall of flames.

Taking advantage of Artes roaring and roaring loudly outside the hall, Greem slipped in again stealthily, and plunged headlong into the lava fire pool.

After entering, the first thing Greem did was naturally set up a strange flame witch formation on the bottom of the pool. This flame witch array is divided into three layers in total, taking into account three kinds of witchcraft effects.

The first effect is of course to absorb the flame energy in the lava fire pool and provide it to Greem as a follow-up supplement for his battle. The second effect is the flame cage, which uses the energy in the fire pool as a material to build a flame cage that isolates the inside and outside by the pool. So you don't have to worry about being disturbed by the outside world!

The third effect is the invisibility enchantment, which can hide Greem's soul breath to avoid being detected by the opponent in advance.

After the witch array was set up, Greem placed a small witchcraft trap in Artes's favorite place to lie down, and hid the sealed ice crystal cold essence in it.

After everything was settled properly, Greem dissipated his real body, let himself collapse into a dense fireball, and quietly hid at the bottom of the lava fire pool.

With the cover of the invisibility enchantment, as long as the opponent didn't scan this area deliberately, it would be impossible to find the existence of Greem. After all, Artes, the flame lord, is only good at physical combat, and his spiritual power is only 13 points, but if Greem transforms into a Balrog twice, his mental power can reach 29 points.

This kind of strength, coupled with the terrifying Balrog, is enough to give Artes a go!

The waiting time always passed very slowly.

His own territory was bombed to pieces by foreign enemies, but the incompetent subordinates couldn't even find the enemy's shadow. Such a thing is spread on anyone's head, enough for it to become angry and furious.

After knocking down the three lava giants in one breath, Artes vented his anger a little bit. While ordering Huo Lie, the only Tier 2 clansman under him, to take a small team of lava giants to search the entire city carefully, he ordered the Fire Elemental Legion to rush to the entrance of Dustfire Canyon and completely seal it off.

Before finding that troublesome 'guy', no creature can take half a step out of Dustfire Canyon!

This time, the order of the flame lord Artes was resolutely implemented and executed.

A large number of formed fire elements occupied the entrance and set up a cordon, while the lava giants loudly repeated the lord's order, while gathering all the flame creatures in a special cave for subsequent careful screening.

And Artes transferred two lava giants to guard outside the flame hall, so that the number of Tier 1 lava giant guards around it has reached four. This is an unprecedented strict measure for the lava giant family with only 27 people in total.

After angrily scolding his men for a while, Artes swayed his heavy and solid body to the lava fire pool again, and jumped into it without hesitation.

The bottom of this fire pool slopes down slowly. The edge of the fire pool is only more than three meters deep, while the center area is seven or eight meters deep, so Artes stands on the edge, and nearly half of his body is still exposed.

Because his thoughts were disturbed, Artes didn't pay attention to everything in the fire pool. He slowly pushed the golden mountain and inverted the jade pillar, half leaning and half lying on the edge of the fire pool, only exposing his huge head, which was one meter square, out of the magma. In order to wait for the results of the people's hunt, Artes did not choose to take a nap, but slowly closed his eyes, silently absorbing the abundant flame energy constantly overflowing from the tumbling slurry.

And just as it was in a daze, Greem, who was lurking at the bottom of the fire pool, slowly gathered his body and opened his eyes.

Greem, as a level 2 fire witch, possessed an astonishingly high amount of flame energy. It was impossible for Greem to face Artes face to face without the other party noticing it. So Greem dissipated the energy in advance, using the flame energy of the lava fire pool to cover his own existence.

Now that the action was imminent, Greem began to unscrupulously condense his body and increase his strength crazily.

One transformation... a body of flames!

Transformation for the second time... the body of the Balrog!

As the two tall Balrog bodies rose from the ground, the flame energy of the entire lava fire pool was completely disrupted, and a tyrannical spiritual consciousness quickly rushed towards the Artes lord.

Uh... what's going on?

Artes, who was still resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes suddenly, and stared at the bottom of the thick and stagnant fire pool in horror.

There, a tyrannical flame energy suddenly condensed into form, and then crushed towards it like a hill.

There are enemies!

The enemy is at the bottom of the lava pool!

Artes, who understood in an instant, roared, and planned to stand up.

Unfortunately, Greem's mental power has already been activated.

The first one to approach Artes was naturally Greem's magic mechanism set up on the pool wall.

As a flame rune suddenly emerged and shattered, a fist-sized halo of scattered red light hit Artes' thick lava legs. Then at the next moment, the red glow dissipated, and a chilly aura that made Artes feel terrified and uneasy quickly dissipated from the impact.

In just a moment, Artes and the surrounding lava pools of tens of meters were frozen in a layer of blue ice crystals. A layer of strange frost spread along Artes' lava body, towards its chest, head and arms.

If this layer of frost spreads to its flame core and soul origin, I am afraid that its subsequent promotion will no longer be possible.

Fire beats ice, ice beats fire!

These two attributes interact with each other, and there is no real strength or weakness, only the local more or less!

With the strength of Artes and the endless flame power of the lava fire pool, the ice power carried by this ball of ice crystal cold marrow will be completely consumed within half a quarter of an hour. But before the power of ice was exhausted, at least in Artes' body, the sudden burst of power of ice still had the upper hand, screaming and scolding Artes' eroding wailing.

And just as Artes was struggling to condense the flame energy in his body to compete with the invading ice power, the slurry inside the fire pool was scattered and splashed, and two tall Balrogs rose from the ground, and launched the most fierce attack towards it. Violent attack.

At the edge of the lava fire pool, the crimson slurry was restrained and distorted by a strange force, rising from the ground to form dozens of lava fire pillars more than one meter thick, completely sealing off the entire pool.

The four lava giant guards who came after hearing the news saw the flame lord under siege through the gap in the fire pillar, and immediately hit and smashed the lava fire pillar with all their might. It's a pity that with the continuous replenishment of endless energy from the lava fire pool, the fire pillar was partially damaged just now, and it was repaired in a blink of an eye.

The lava giant guard couldn't help roaring angrily...
