Chapter 841 Exterminating the Golems
How was a Third Grade adept stronger compared to a Second Grade adept?
Higher magic resistance, a tougher body, more terrifying spiritual pressure: all these were only superficial differences. What truly separated and distinguished between Second and Third Grade was their mastery and control over elentium particles.
The adepts were composed mainly of humans. Their bodies were too small, and the magical energy that could be contained within their bodies was vastly lacking compared to large magical creatures. Consequently, they needed to continually absorb wandering particles from their surroundings during instances of intense fighting to compensate for their imnse energy consumption.
Apart from a few that excelled and specialized in body refining, most Third Grade adepts only had bodies that were seven or eight tis stronger than an ordinary mortal. That might sound amazing, but in a high-grade battle, their bodies would not be able to stand even one ferocious attack.
As a bloodline adept, Yurga gained a trendous Agility bonus when he transford into the Death Heralding Crows. However, his Physique and life force were still his glaring weaknesses. Yurga was still a frail adept with high offensive power and low defensive power!
Of course, this ‘weakness’ was only relative to Third Grade adepts!
A stalemate quickly presented itself soon after the duel between this Second and Third Grade begun.
One side was covered in thick, black smoke, while the other was a blazing fire.
Both parties invaded each other, tussled with each other, repeatedly and madly exhausting the magical energy of the other.
The young Second Grade fire adept demonstrated power no weaker than his opponent. He was not at all behind in the battle between the two domain spaces.
It undoubtedly shocked many of the spectating adepts!
Still, in their opinion, such courage and bravery were aningless. How much advantage could a Second Grade fire adept have in a fight for elentium particles against the pressure of a Third Grade adept? Once all outside replenishnt had been cut off, how long could he maintain the fierce Burning Domain with his own magical energy?
When that happened, Yurga wouldn’t even need to press the issue. Greem would have to dispel this imnsely costly elentium domain. Without the protection of the elentium domain, killing him was as easy as the flick of a finger for Adept Yurga. A Death Gaze ford from hundreds and thousands of death beams; how could that possibly be sothing that a Second Grade adept could survive!
While the spectating adepts talked amongst themselves, Yurga had a completely different experience while in the sea of fire.
Dammit, why do these fires hurt so much when they burn?
As a Third Grade adept–and paired with so secret defensive spells–Yurga’s magic resistance was already at two hundred and seventeen points. He already had an elentary level of fire immunity. Even so, when he dove into Greem’s sea of fire, the 1,326 crows he had transford into still very truly felt the damage from the flas.
A terrifying stream of fire swept from the side. A dozen Death Heralding Crows failed to dodge in ti and were hit by the tail of the fla. They were instantly reduced to ashes and utterly dead. There were always so Death Heralding crows at the edge of the black mist failing to avoid the flas in ti and falling prey to them.
Dammit! Where had that fire adept hidden?
Yurga’s massive Spirit delved through the sea of fla, but he still could not find the young fire adept. Even the two elentium golems had vanished without a trace. If this continued as such, he could continue to re-manifest those dead crows with magic power, but his power would continue to be exhausted.
A fight against a Second Grade adept shouldn’t be so difficult, could it?!
The frustrated Yurga imdiately took action, and a thousand Death Heralding Crows squawked and charged into the fire. They beat their wings while firing death beams into the flas with their crimson eyes.
Strangely enough, a deep and low grunt rang out in the empty Burning Domain. The next mont, a vast stretch of the fire was extinguished. It was almost as if these flas were lifeforms with souls of their own.
As the crows continued to spread out, the sea of fla’s area started to shrink drastically. The black mists took the opportunity to surge forward and take over much of the territory of the Burning Domain.
Greem, who had been hiding in the sea of fire, let out a sigh. He knew that the sea of fire alone could not stop the Third Grade adept’s advance. He could only relay new combat orders to the two Fla Fiends through a ntal ssage.
The sea of fire was a combat space that Greem had laid out for himself. He would not allow the opponent to beco the ruler of this domain.
When the crows started to attack the sea of fire recklessly, its retaliation swiftly ca!
Flas blazed as two towering Fla Fiends appeared in the depths of the searing flas. They summoned a large cloud of fire the mont they appeared and swept it toward the Death Heralding Crows flying at the edge of the black mist.
The entire space where the cloud of fire passed was like a boiling furnace. Everything ignited.
Apart from the cloud of fire, the two Fla Fiends also created massive magma fireballs and launched them into the black mist. The erupting magical flas and fearso heat waves instantly turned many of the crows to ashes.
However, just as the two Fla Fiends struck, the fires around them dimd, and a strange humanoid figure the size of their leg appeared.
When Yurga appeared, the crimson eye on his forehead shot out a thick death beam which hit the Fla Fiend. It struggled for half a second before exploding into sparks and flas in a resounding roar.
The expertly-hidden golem core within its body flew out during this apocalyptic scene. The core silently disintegrated in midair, crumbling into tiny pieces.
An interdiate Second Grade Fla Fiend was destroyed by Yurga, just like that!
Greem felt a sharp pain in his mind as this happened. That trace of Spirit attached to the Fla Fiend’s core also vanished along with it. If it wasn’t because he had predicted the situation and promptly cut off his ntal connection with the Fla Fiend, Yurga’s Death Gaze might have been able to reach him as well.
Even so, the loss of a powerful subordinate in such a simple manner hurt Greem’s heart.
It was important to note that Greem would never have been willing to sell such a mighty golem. If this golem were put on the adept’s market, it would sell for a minimum of a hundred and seventy thousand magical crystals. This price was almost the sa as so more inferior adept’s tower.
But don’t think that was expensive!
Regardless of how good a tower was, could you take it around with you? On the other hand, such an elentium golem was wholly portable and could be summoned at any mont and any place to storm the enemy lines. Such convenience and power was sothing that an adept’s tower could not compare to!
Yet, the Third Grade adept had exterminated such a valuable elentium in an instant. It was only natural to imagine the shock that Greem was feeling right now.
After all, apart from a few more elentium protections and the Fire Throne set, Greem wasn’t that much more powerful compared to the Fla Fiend. If Yurga could exterminate the Fla Fiend in an instant, killing him wouldn’t be that much more difficult.
Consequently, Greem started to worry about his own safety, even as he felt hurt over the loss of magical crystals.
After all, the elentium golems could still be constructed, even if he lost them now. However, if his soul were to explode, it would indeed be the end!
It was this consideration that caused Greem to not dismiss the other Fla Fiend, despite a mont’s hesitation.
It was not the ti to be upset over so magical crystals.
What had been his initial motivation for creating elentium golems to begin with? Wasn’t it to have them charge the enemy lines in his place? Now was precisely the ti Greem needed them to sacrifice themselves!
The mont Yurga exterminated one of the Fla Fiends, the other did not retreat. Instead, it turned toward Yurga and unleashed its most furious and wild firepower on the Third Grade adept.
The black mist was blasted into, and even the corners of Yurga’s robes started to turn black and scorched.
As a Third Grade adept, Yurga couldn’t possibly be troubled by such an ‘insignificant’ attack. He smiled slightly, and his body once again erupted into a flock of red-eyed crows. These birds flapped their wings and scattered in every direction.
As the Fla Fiend once again gathered elentium flas in its hand, the sea of fire behind it parted as Yurga mysteriously appeared out of thin air.
The next second, a thick Death Beam landed on this last remaining Fla Fiend.
This six-ter tall, four-ton heavy giant fell to a magical beam, and its body disintegrated into shards and sparks. The golem core did not escape the effects of the magic either and shattered along with the body.
In just fifteen seconds, three hundred and forty thousand magical crystals had turned to dust!
A red blush appeared on Yurga’s pale face after using his power twice in a row. His breath also started becoming slightly ragged.
“Hmph! Damned brat, what are you going to use to stop now? Let’s see where else you can hide once I extinguish all of your flas.”
Unfortunately, before his voice could even land, two roars rang out in the depths of the sea of fire. Two more gigantic Fla Fiends appeared.
Dammit, dammit, dammit! Why did that bastard bring so many high-grade elentium golems with him?
Yurga might not know the exact price of these golems, but given their interdiate Second Grade strength and their resounding might in combat, these elentium golems could not have co cheap. That...that damned brat! Where did he find the wealth to obtain so many elentium golems?
Moreover, judging from the standard size and combat power of these golems, they had to be created in the sa batch. Trying to find an alchemist who could custom-make such exquisite golems would have cost a mountain of a fortune.
This...
A short piece of information flashed across Yurga’s mind in his mont of frustration and surprise.
“Greem. Second Grade fire adept between interdiate and advanced level. Possesses the special ability to craft elentium golems...”
Dammit! These golems were all crafted by Greem himself!
