Chapter 402: Pursuit
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The hedgehog was rely a puppet, but in the instant that its eyes flicked open, rlin could clearly feel a boundless surge of Fire Elent fluctuations.
This ant that the powers of this puppet were rather terrifying. After all, during the Spell Casters’ most glorious era, even a puppet would be a formidable presence.
There were even puppets which went against the natural order and were evenly matched with Great Wizards! However, those type of puppets had long vanished, and no one was able to obtain such a fearso puppet anymore.
The full abilities of the hedgehog puppet before his eyes were only equivalent to a Sixth-level Spell Caster.
“Wizard rlin, be careful. This hedgehog puppet is powerful indeed!”
The fla sprite softly warned rlin once again, for it had an unparalleled familiarity with the hedgehog puppet. The fla sprite hoped that rlin would complete this obstacle and obtain the treasures for the cultivation of Fiery Collapse so that it would be set free, but it was unable to command this puppet. Therefore, it was powerless, and could only silently pray for rlin’s success.
“Whoosh.”
After it opened its eyes, the hedgehog puppet did not seem to slow down at all, rushing toward rlin without warning. It was so fast that even rlin was a little taken aback.
Nevertheless, no matter how fast the hedgehog puppet was, it could not compete with rlin’s Flash Wind.
“Swoosh.”
rlin’s figure imdiately appeared behind the hedgehog puppet, after which he slamd down with one hand.
“Boom!”
Endless raging flas turned into a sea of fire which covered the hedgehog puppet. These flas contained the power of Fiery Collapse, and its might was extrely frightening.
Furthermore, this was the Fourth-level spell Incinerating Fire. Everything the spell encountered was reduced to ashes. This hedgehog puppet, even if it was transfigured from an extrely extraordinary material, had no way of withstanding the full explosive strength of rlin’s Incinerating Fire which was rged with Fiery Collapse. It beca ashes in the blaze.
“It’s defeated?”
After the flas had gradually died out, the fla sprite’s mouth was agape as if it found it hard to believe. The powerful hedgehog puppet was reduced to ashes with barely a whimper?
However, after having seen rlin’s Incinerating Fire and Fiery Collapse which was combined into the spell, the fla sprite sensed that its own Fire Elent seed to be stirring.
“What a powerful spell! Even the hedgehog puppet could not defend against a single attack!”
Upon seeing that rlin had defeated the hedgehog puppet, the fla sprite was astounded but it still smiled and said, “Wizard rlin, you’ve defeated the hedgehog puppet so you may enter the stone room to cultivate the second form of Fiery Collapse!”
rlin looked at the room and nodded, following which he ca before the stone room.
“Rumble.”
After the hedgehog puppet had died, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a cramped room behind. Nonetheless, this small room was filled with precious treasures.
They were all Fire-type treasures. They were different in so aspects from when rlin had cultivated the first form of Fiery Collapse back then, but mostly they just had a stronger effect.
Cultivating Fiery Collapse using these treasures would allow one to achieve the second form of Fiery Collapse quickly!
After looking through so of these treasures, rlin bobbed his head. “Yes, I’ll be able to cultivate the second form of Fiery Collapse now, but I might need so ti.”
rlin looked at the fla sprite as he spoke calmly.
The fla sprite nodded. It knew very well about Fiery Collapse. Cultivation would take a long ti. Even putting aside the rest of the process, the assimilation of the treasures alone would take no small amount of ti.
Therefore, rlin shut the stone doors, and patiently cultivated the second form of Fiery Collapse by himself in the stone room. The fla sprite waited outside, and would imdiately know if anything happened.
In particular, the fla sprite’s eyes revealed its extraordinary longing. It had been trapped in the ancient monunt for far too long. Now that it finally had a rare chance to escape, naturally, it would be filled with desire.
One day, two days, three days...
In the blink of an eye, five days had gone by. However, in the stone room, rlin seed not to have moved at all. It was extrely quiet in the room, and there was not a single sound.
“What happened? Has the cultivation failed?”
The fla sprite was getting rather anxious. It had been five days but there was not the slightest movent in the stone room.
The fla sprite longed to enter the stone room and take a look, but Wizard Dowland had arranged everything in its place from the start, and the fla sprite had no way of entering the stone room.
Just as the fla sprite was becoming fretful and restless, the entire stone room began to tremble violently. At the sa ti, wisps of pale white flas erged, burning from the cracks of the stone room.
“Pale white flas – this is the second form of Fiery Collapse!”
The fla sprite was overjoyed. It was familiar with Fiery Collapse. The first form was white flas whereas the second form consisted of pale white flas.
As for the third form of Fiery Collapse, it would be translucent. Therefore, seeing that pale white flas had appeared within the stone room, one could roughly determine that rlin had succeeded in his cultivation.
“Rumble.”
Indeed, rlin’s figure appeared before the fla sprite after the stone doors were opened. Although rlin’s complexion seed to be sowhat drained, his eyes burned fervently, and he looked ecstatic.
“Is it a success?”
As soon as the fla sprite saw rlin, it could not wait to ask.
“It’s a success!”
A smile tugged at the corner of rlin’s mouth. Following that, he lightly stretched out a hand. His fingers were entwined with pale white fla – it was the second form of Fiery Collapse.
“You’ve succeeded indeed. Now we can head to the fla-shaped statue. Using the second form of your Fiery Collapse, activate the passage to leave the ancient monunt!”
The fla sprite’s voice revealed its irrepressible excitent.
rlin narrowed his eyes slightly yet he did not follow the fla sprite’s orders. Instead, he asked the fla sprite, “I wonder how would I cultivate the third form of Fiery Collapse?”
“The third form? Wizard Dowland did not speak of this back then but he had only ntioned that one could use the second form of Fiery Collapse to access a secret place within the fla-shaped statue. The third form of Fiery Collapse is hidden there.”
Upon hearing what the fla sprite had said, rlin pondered the matter for a long mont. He had not received any clues regarding the third form of Fiery Collapse, and rely knew that he would still have to cultivate the third form in the ancient monunt. In other words, the ancient monunt might still contain treasures for the cultivation of the third form of Fiery Collapse.
“Let’s go to the fla-shaped statue and we’ll find out.”
The fla sprite could wait no longer and urged rlin repeatedly.
After a long mont of consideration, rlin did not have a better plan. His understanding of the ancient monunt could never surpass the fla sprite’s. Thus, he followed behind the fla sprite as they hurriedly walked toward the fla-shaped statue.
Before the fla-shaped statue, rlin stood quietly. The fla sprite hovered beside him.
“Channel the full flas of the second form of Fiery Collapse into the fla-shaped statue to open the passage and to obtain the third form of Fiery Collapse. If you don’t believe , here’s a Runic Magic Circle which was left behind by Wizard Dowland back then.”
The fla sprite’s words caused rlin to look at the fla-shaped statue. There were a few mysterious runes, which true enough, ntioned that the third form of Fiery Collapse was linked to the fla-shaped statue.
Although he still harbored so suspicions, rlin did not overthink it and began to extend his fair palm. Imdiately, pale white flas surged out rapidly from his palm.
The flas burned furiously, containing terrifying might in every wisp. If it was combined with Incinerating Fire, its power would beco even more fearso and would be comparable to the peak of the Seventh-level.
However, even such petrifying flas could not induce any changes in the fla-shaped statue as they burned steadily. This showed that the statue was made of a substantial material.
After a mont, a change finally occurred to the fla-shaped statue. Mysterious runes began to erge quickly, corresponding with the runes on the fla sprite’s body.
“Crack.”
Finally, the runes on the fla sprite’s body disappeared. It began to bellow with laughter, and its voice was even shaky. Anyone could see that the fla sprite was excited.
“Haha, I’ve finally escaped. I can leave this d*mn place!”
The blaze on the fla sprite’s body flared up countless tis over in an instant and it beca a Fla Being which was the sa size as rlin. Its body was suspended in mid-air, which was a strange sight.
rlin had always felt that sothing was wrong about the fla sprite, but he did not know what it was. In the mont the fla-shaped statue shattered, a beam of light shot toward rlin.
This was a narrow beam of firelight which combined with rlin’s flas. In that instant, a ssage materialized in rlin’s mind.
It was this ssage that caused rlin’s face to change greatly as he turned his gaze toward the fla sprite.
“You need the fla sprite to cultivate the third form of Fiery Collapse!”
This was the ssage left in rlin’s mind. That trace of fla was obviously left behind by Wizard Dowland, only for so unknown reason, it was contained in the fla-shaped statue.
In fact, rlin had already faintly guessed that this was all orchestrated by the fla sprite. It only wanted to leave the ancient monunt so it had been deceiving rlin from the start.
It was true that the cultivation thod of the third form of Fiery Collapse was hidden in the fla-shaped statue. However, the fla sprite knew what it was long ago. Naly, the fla sprite itself was the price that needed to be paid for the cultivation.
In order to escape its bonds, the fla sprite slipped the ssage regarding the third form of Fiery Collapse left behind by Wizard Dowland into the fla-shaped statue. The fla-shaped statue was also the place where the fla sprite was trapped. Once it was shattered, the fla sprite would be set free.
This ti, rlin had been duped. In the instant that he broke open the fla-shaped statue, the fla sprite had already opened the passage and rushed outside at its greatest speed.
By the ti rlin learned of the ssage left behind by Wizard Dowland, it was too late. The fla sprite had already escaped from the ancient monunt.
“Trying to escape? I’m afraid it’s not that easy!”
rlin was in a rage. He did not expect that the fla sprite would make a fool of him. In order to cultivate the third form of Fiery Collapse, what he needed was the fla sprite.
It was clear that the fla sprite had been captured by Wizard Dowland on purpose and left behind for future Spell Casters to cultivate the third form of Fiery Collapse.
It was just that the fla sprite had sohow learned of Wizard Dowland’s plan and made ticulous preparations. Ultimately, rlin had fallen for its trick, unwittingly releasing the fla sprite.
“Swish.”
rlin’s figure quickly flew through the passage as he gave chase. In terms of speed, he would not lose to anyone. As long as he could still sense the fla sprite’s presence, he did not need to worry about losing track of it.
However, the fla sprite was also unbelievably fast. As soon as rlin had rushed out of the ancient monunt, he saw that the fla sprite had flown into the air, fleeing into the distance at top speed.
“Rainbow Wind!”
rlin narrowed his eyes as his body gradually floated into the air as well, following which he transford into a rainbow beam, chasing after the fla sprite into the distance.
One was in front, one was behind. The two figures had incredible speed. rlin was able to lock onto the fla sprite’s force. No matter where it fled, it could not escape rlin’s pursuit.
“Go on and run. I’ll see how far you can run!”
rlin was furious. The fla sprite was key to cultivating the third form of Fiery Collapse. Once it was gone, it would be impossible for rlin to cultivate it.
Having been fooled by the fla sprite, rlin was incomparably sullen. He did not say a word, only chasing after the fla sprite silently.
“This isn’t good. If we keep on flying like this, I’ll be caught in the end!”
The fla sprite glanced behind toward rlin, full of agitation. It had initially thought that after a hard-won escape from the binds of the ancient monunt, it could live its life in leisure, resuming its free life once again.
It had now successfully escaped from the binds of the ancient monunt and had even left the ancient monunt. Nevertheless, it could not obtain true freedom and liberty. rlin’s presence bitterly chasing from behind was enough to make the fla sprite experience a trendous amount of pressure.
However, the fla sprite could do nothing else but escape, regardless of everything. As for battling against rlin and chasing him away, the fla sprite had not considered it at all.
Although the fla sprite had great capabilities indeed, it was still lacking much in comparison to rlin, especially since rlin had rged Fiery Collapse with Incinerating Fire. Among Fire-type spells, there were very few who had a more powerful spell than rlin’s Fire-type spell.
The fla sprite did not even know that there was also a Fla Maxim in rlin’s Awareness. Overall, Fire-type spells were unlikely to harm rlin.
The fla sprite no longer seed to care in which direction it was going. It aimlessly picked a direction and escaped wildly while rlin followed behind stubbornly. Without realizing it, the fla sprite and rlin had lost track of where they were flying to.
Suddenly, a team of Spell Casters dressed in strange clothing appeared in the sky before them. Upon seeing the fla sprite, the Spell Casters were slightly shocked.
However, thereafter, one of them seed to recognize that it was a fla sprite, sothing precious that one could only encounter by luck and not effort. Therefore, this strange group of Spell Casters instantly got into a peculiar formation, spreading out toward the fla sprite.
