Chapter 844 The Battle Concludes
The might of a Third Grade adept was horrifying when they went all out.
The next four Fla Fiends that Greem summoned were also destroyed by Yurga in much the sa fashion, turning into sacrifices before the fad title of the Death Heralding Crow.
However, the Fla Fiends of Terror truly lived up to their nas. They managed to cause pretty substantial damage to this Third Grade adept with their retaliation before dying. This accumulation of wounds quickly affected Yurga’s ability to fight, making it difficult for him to so ‘easily’ dispatch one Fla Fiend after another.
Greem had also been forced to drink a vial of moonwater to recover the loss of his magical powers and Spirit.
He had only managed to last until now against Yurga with his Second Grade Spirit due to the Fire Throne set’s unique set effect of cutting fire magic Spirit exhaustion by half. Greem had to summon a Fla Fiend almost every fifteen minutes while opening a fire portal to summon fire creatures to occupy and exhaust Yurga.
It was due to these ‘lowly’ little tricks and a frightening loss of magical crystals that Greem gained an equal footing against a Third Grade adept. He had not shown himself on the battlefield from the very start of the battle until the very end. However, the Fla Fiends and fire creatures he summoned were all over the place, turning the entire arena into a scary sea of fire.
The individual lethality of Yurga was amazing, and he was no weakling even amongst Third Grade adepts. However, he was sowhat powerless against Greem’s swarming strategies.
If Greem ever dared show himself, even ten of him together would be turned into hotpot by Yurga in a single go!
However, Greem was nowhere to be seen now, while his Fla Fiends were extrely hard to deal with.
If Yurga were even slightly slower in reacting, the Fla Fiends would self-destruct without any hesitation. That was what made Yurga’s head hurt.
Such a mighty interdiate Second Grade elentium golem would be worth a lot in the market. Yet, the young Crimson Clan leader abandoned them without a second thought. Moreover, he wasn’t dropping just one or two of them, but an entire pile of them.
Yurga felt like he was in perpetual agony when fighting against such a strange opponent!
Yurga might have intended to destroy a few more Fla Fiends at the start of the battle to upset Greem. However, the number of elentium golems that Greem had summoned had already gone past his psychological bottom line. Yurga’s state of mind was utterly shaken now.
He was no longer as confident as before.
He had no idea how many elentium golems that Greem still had in reserve!
If...if the number of elentium golems he had was imnse, wouldn’t I be basically digging my own grave with this duel? Wouldn’t I have led myself to my demise?
The more he thought about it, the wilder his imagination beca. Yurga’s state of mind went from the initial rage to the current nervousness. His combat style also unintentionally beca much more reserved.
The clan might be important, benefits might be important, but in the end, they were not as important as his life!
One could never be too careful.
If Greem had as many as twenty elentium golems–no, eighteen golems–then his life would be in danger.
You knew his own abilities the best. After this one hour of intense fighting, Yurga had already fired eight Death Gazes and five area-of-effect Death Beams in succession. Such intensity was already far beyond the limits of his body. If it weren’t for the potions, Yurga would be wholly exhausted now and forced onto the defensive.
Perhaps the potions might heal his physical wounds and recover his magical power and Spirit, but they could not eliminate the lethargy and feeling of defeat that he was feeling right now.
The Death Gazes he was firing were still powerful without compare, and he was still invincible to the Fla Fiends. However, deep down in his heart, an unconcealable fear was slowly growing.
If he was defeated...
This question that he had never once considered before the battle appeared in his heart for the first ti. He quickly clamped down on the idea, not daring to think of it, yet unable to forget either.
Elentium magic of most attributes could not be successfully cast within this mystical Burning Domain; only innate abilities like Death Gaze and physical attacks could circumvent its effects. Under such circumstances, Yurga’s exhaustion was trendous as well.
Kill a thousand enemies at the cost of three hundred of your own!
Yurga was not having an easy ti or going unscathed every ti he exterminated a Fla Fiend. Even a Third Grade bloodline adept like himself could not stand it if all the ‘three hundred’ were stacked together.
Of course, without the Burning Domain, Yurga would have been able to move freely and go completely uncontested with his imnse power. He would have long since dealt with the Second Grade fire adept. The battle would never have been so forcefully drawn out to this awkward state.
If Yurga claid that he felt no trace of regret at this mont, he would be lying to himself and everyone else.
At this mont, Yurga was so regretful that his intestines were green!
Wasn’t it just attacking a newly established adept clan? How did it slowly escalate to this situation? If Yurga had the chance to choose again, he would have firmly rejected that Association elder’s ssenger’s suggestion to mobilize troops.
Aren’t those bastards just placing him in a pit and a fire?
Regardless of how regretful he was and how upset he was, Yurga had to grit his teeth and finish this duel before him.
The situation had already reached this state. It was no longer a matter of whether he was willing to let the young fire adept go. Rather, it was a matter of whether the opponent wanted to reach for the thousand-year miracle of slaying a Third Grade as a Second Grade!
Whenever Yurga thought of himself potentially becoming the Third Grade adept held in the highest contempt across the entire world, his anger and frustration boiled to a peak within him. He wanted to slaughter sothing to let it all out. However, whenever he rembered that he could pay the price of his life for reckless attacks, he imdiately cowered.
His emotions and spirits swayed between these two extres, montarily displaying barbaric viciousness at tis, and cowardly retreat at others. It undoubtedly caused the outco of the battle to beco shrouded in even more mist and uncertainty!
Yurga’s state of mind was a complete ss now!
It wasn’t just Greem who could see this. Even the adepts and apprentices on stage could pick up on this.
By the ti the fifteenth Fla Fiend fell in the arena, Yurga was engulfed in the self-destruction of the sixteenth Fla Fiend due to his injuries slowing him down.
This ti, when Yurga struggled out of the sea of fire, he reached into his pouch and froze on the spot.
The high-grade potions for recovery had all been used up!
It couldn’t be helped. Regardless of how smart or wise Yurga was, he would never have expected to receive such massive physical wounds at such intensity. Thus, the number of potions for physical wounds in his reserves were far less than the number of dicines ant for recovering Spirit.
This ager supply of potions had been exhausted after just three rounds of use.
When Yurga dragged his injured body around the arena, unable to find suitable potions, the two Fla Fiends once again charged at him.
This ti, Yurga was truly scared!
He could still fire one or two Death Gazes to deal with these two Fla Fiends with his remaining Spirit and soul origin. However, this last bit of his power was reserved for dealing with the Second Grade fire adept. If he used them up here, what could he rely on to exterminate the opponent of his duel?
Yurga had no choice but to drag his wounded body along and kite the Fla Fiends. He had to drag out the fight and allow his body to heal better.
Greem, who was in hiding, also realized that this was Yurga’s plan. He silently summoned a fire portal and sent a large group of fire creatures onto the battlefield once again.
Yurga was unbelievably furious when he saw this cannon fodder hop onto the arena.
The cannon fodder was nothing at all. Even a shockwave from Yurga’s battle with the Fla Fiends would exterminate most of them. However, any of the surviving trash only needed to stall his movents slightly, and the two pursuing Fla Fiend would be able to catch up and detonate.
Yurga was already terrified of their blasts!
He had lost the black smoke protecting his body. He had lost the aid of the potions. Don’t even ntion the detonations of the Fla Fiends; just the Burning Domain in the background alone was slowly causing Yurga to experience the horror of magical flas.
The Burning Domain with no more than a hundred points of power was applying constant, unavoidable damage.
When Yurga was powerful, he could naturally ignore such weak ‘damage.’ However, once the battle entered the endga, such ‘insignificant’ damage beca the last straw to break the cal’s back. It caused Yurga to be hurt. Very hurt.
Finally, Yurga collapsed under the fla shockwave of the nineteenth Fla Fiend and completely fell unconscious.
Greem was afraid that Yurga was putting on a show, and he refused to show himself yet. It wasn;t until he commanded the Fla Fiend to chop off Yurga’s head and burn his body that Greem appeared at the edge of the battlefield.
Greem looked at the slowly fading defensive barrier around the arena and unhesitatingly took Yurga’s ugly and vicious head into his own hands. He then quickly gouged the strange red eye embedded in Yurga’s forehead.
The red eye was still exceedingly soft when he first took it out.
However, as Yurga’s soul aura started to fade, the strange red eye rapidly solidified and turned into an amber pearl. Upon closer inspection, there was a gray cross in the center of the pearl, and Greem could clearly sense a faint magical flux.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t absorb Yurga’s massive soul into this red-eye under everyone’s gaze. Otherwise, the remaining bloodline power might be even stronger!
Greem thought to himself as he lifted his head and looked at the arbitrating adept walking toward him with a sour face– Laurent.
This outco was entirely beyond his expectations. It had caught him by surprise.
In all honesty, even Laurent himself didn’t know how to face Greem now.
