Countless magical runes on the ground lit up one by one. The sword energy carvings on the walls also followed predetermined trajectories. After the two elemental treasures were in place, the entire cave lit up.
Hearing my shout, Camdian's first reaction wasn't to agree or sigh. His eyes, which were filled with lightning, stared right at me. The panic in his eyes was so obvious that I instantly understood what was going on.
"Relax, we're allies. How could I possibly seal you? Besides, in order to seal you, I'll need a God-level earth element ingredient. Where am I supposed to go find it?"
Kamdiran turned his head in that direction. His meaning was obvious. Wasn't Ömdiroken in front of him a God-level earth element ingredient?
"Sealing two Elemental Gods at the same time? You're making things too difficult for me. If we were at such a level, we wouldn't need your help. Do you think we're foolish enough to need your help to seal you? That's completely illogical. "
Alright then, I tried everything I could to convince Kamdiran that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he finally nodded and agreed. While we continued to "slack off," the pitiful Adam was already being beaten up by the furious Ömdiroken.
No, it should be said that Ömdiroken finally wanted to leave. Meanwhile, our job class meat shield, Adam, stuck close to him and harassed him like a ghost. Since things had already reached this point, how could I possibly let him leave?
Actually, when all the magical runes in this room lit up, it was already too late for him to leave.
When Kamdiran hesitated and prepared the final key, the thunderstorm transformed into a teardrop that dripped onto the ground. With a crisp drip, the entire world began to change. The powerful feeling of being in another world made everyone instinctively feel incredibly uncomfortable.
When the three God-level materials resonated with each other, Emordilorcan, who was unable to escape, would be at the center of the triangle. His Elemental Heart was resonating with the three materials, and together, they constructed a small elemental world that was constantly circulating.
According to the principles of the sealing spell mentioned in the ancient scroll, this seal only borrowed the basic characteristics of the elements to construct the world. For the elemental life, it was their nature to construct matter. It was just like breathing instinct. There was no way to avoid it, avoid it, or even refuse it!
This was also the reason why Camdian was so afraid. If we wanted to use this opportunity to seal him, it wouldn't be completely impossible. At the very least, it wouldn't be wrong to make more preparations. I had also prepared a plan to seal him at the same time.
Of course, there was no need to turn hostile now. If it weren't for his help, it would be impossible for us to stall Ömdiroken for so long. However, scaring the Wind Elemental God would also be beneficial to our future cooperation. At the very least, he would think about the consequences before he betrayed us for benefits again.
Kamdiran's losses? Who cared what he wanted to do? He deserved to be unlucky. It was his own fault for tailing me.
"Ömdiroken! You finally have such a day. I've been waiting for this day! Let me watch you get sealed. "
But judging from his delighted laughter, I knew that I was obviously overthinking things. As long as Ömdiroken could be defeated, Kamdiran would obviously be willing to pay any price.
But at this moment, Ömdiroken suddenly began laughing maniacally.
"… You want to seal me? Dream on! Even if I die, I won't let you have a good time! "
That familiar maniacal laughter immediately reminded me of certain existences, such as gnomes that were forced to their limits by the Town Security, gnomes that were willing to die for money, and gnomes that gambled with explosives.
And so, the next second, I pulled Adam in front of me and hid behind Kamdiran.
"You're trying to screw me over again?"
Alright then, should I say that he was already used to being screwed over? Even though he was complaining, he didn't move at all, perfectly fulfilling his job requirement as a meat shield.
* Boom! *
Before he could finish his sentence, the rumbling explosion caused the entire labyrinth to collapse. The sandstorm that was kicked up blinded everyone's eyes, and the wind and rubble that were kicked up by the explosion caused Adam to scream in pain!
"I knew that you didn't have any good intentions. You're a professional at screwing over your teammates!"
Cough, I ignored that guy who was used to complaining and focused on the Windstorm God before me.
"Is Ömdiroken dead?"
"Based on what you meatmen say, his physical body and soul have both been destroyed, so he's indeed dead. But for an Elemental God, that's probably just returning to the Earth Elemental Plane. But this time, he self-destructed his physical body and killed himself. It'll be impossible for him to recover his power level without at least one or two hundred years of rest. And when he makes a comeback, he'll be nothing. "
Kamdiran laughed maniacally as he transformed into human form, his expression filled with pride. Being able to kill his mortal enemy, any price he paid would be worth it. At the very least, he was now one step closer to the peak of the Elemental Plane.
I nodded and didn't say anything else. I carefully put away the four God Equipment materials that I had saved.
Four? Yep, four. Apart from the Ocean Bottle and the Seal of Fire, I also put away Kamdiran's Tear of Thunder and the earth-colored Elemental Heart that Ömdiroken had left behind.
Kamdiran was tempted as he looked at these small materials, but I waved them at him and pointed at the magic runes that were gradually dimming. My meaning was obvious.
"You're nothing. The spell formation is ready-made. Do you want to try it? Or, do you intend to self-destruct just like Ömdiroken? "
Alright, I could only think of these words in my heart. But judging from Kamdiran's expression that was getting colder and colder, my threat had undoubtedly been delivered.
A traitor would never be trusted. If he could betray once for a certain benefit, he would naturally betray a second time for a greater benefit. From the very start, I had made preparations for him.
"Alright, Lord Kamdiran, can you bring us out of here?"
But sometimes, even if there was a grudge between us, it was better not to shed all pretense of cordiality on the surface. In that case, as allies, wouldn't the heads of major countries, who were rumored to use destructive weapons to aim at each other's capitals, smile whenever they met?
"Of course, I'm never stingy with my allies. Come on up, my friend. "
Thus, Kamdiran, who had transformed into a storm, easily brought us out of the labyrinth. However, near the entrance of the labyrinth, we met Marguerite, who had been waiting for a long time. When she saw us coming out, she heaved a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, Lord Marguerite was the one who teleported us out. It was a pity that we were unable to locate your coordinates, so we were unable to send reinforcements. But since you successfully came out as she said, then you should have already won, right? "
I nodded and took out the Earth Elemental Heart. In an instant, the Knight's cheers were deafening. Even though the crumbling of the earth elemental labyrinth foretold the fall of Ömdiroken, when the boulder that had been pressing down on everyone's hearts was finally removed, everyone's taut heartstrings finally relaxed.
"Well done. Without you all closing the Earth Elemental Door, it would have been impossible for us to win. When we return, I will reward you. "
However, my praise received a strange reaction. Everyone in front of me looked at each other, as if they wanted to say something, but no one replied even after a long while. In the end, it was Marguerite who spoke up.
"How could it be that easy to close the Earth Elemental Door? If we weren't careful, the entire labyrinth would have been blown up into the sky or transferred to another world. We only isolated it for a short period of time, but this seems to be enough."
Hearing this, I paused in surprise for a moment, before revealing a bitter smile.
"Ömdiroken died such a pitiful death. If he had calmed down a bit, perhaps he would have seen through it. Forcefully summoning the elements was no longer difficult for him, and he wouldn't have ended up in such a state. Forget it, it's already over, so there's no need to think too much about it. In that case, should we go down again to close the Earth Elemental Door? "
However, Marguerite smiled and shook her head.
"There's no need. The Dimensional Doors are maintained by Ömdiroken's divine power. Since he's dead, it's only natural that the Dimensional Doors will collapse."
I nodded. Just as I was about to introduce Kamdiran to everyone, the Wind Elemental God beat me to it.
"Human ally, let's have a proper discussion after everything is over."
From a weak human insect to a tiny meat man, and then to a human ally, even the way he referred to himself was constantly changing. From a certain standpoint, no matter if Kamdiran was the Wind Elemental God or the Wind Elemental God, he was indeed frighteningly realistic.
However, since everything was going smoothly for us right now, and we had the absolute advantage, I no longer had to worry about what tricks he would play.
Just as I heaved a sigh of relief, my ring vibrated, sending me the latest battle news.
"Roland, an incredibly powerful earthquake suddenly occurred. Red Maple City's walls have collapsed, and the entire line is in a state of emergency. Can you think of something!?"
Hearing this urgent call for help and hearing the crying and shouting on the other side, I knew that the situation was dire.
"… You want to seal me away? Dream on! Even if I die, I won't let you have a good time! "
For some reason, Ömdiroken's crazed screams before his death still echoed in my ears. Obviously, this was his true revenge.
"Marguerite, you should have Red Maple City's coordinates, right? Can you teleport me there? It's enough to teleport only one person. "
…
Just as Ömdiroken's physical body collapsed, a piece of rubble in Émont Blood Axe Tent suddenly transformed, and an incorporeal giant covered in starlight walked out.
As he walked, the starlight on his physical body continuously dissipated. Kamdiran's judgment was correct. Ömdiroken was already walking towards death. Right now, he was nothing more than the last remnant of his soul.
From the very start, the earth elementals had been Émont Blood Axe Tribe's allies. That was why Ömdiroken had cut off a portion of his own arm in order to deal with the upcoming battle. That portion of his physical body turned into rubble, and he gave it to the earth elementals as his final trump card.
"At the very end, you can summon my power. Remember, only at the very end. Otherwise, I'll take out my anger on you first!"
At this moment, as Emordilorcan watched his divine power continuously dissipate, he knew that he didn't have much time left.
"Damned humans! Even if I'm destined to die, I'll drag all of you down with me!"
* Boom! * * Boom! *
After a series of explosions, the nearby beastmen suffered heavy losses. Because of this, Ömdiroken, who had once again self-destructed his physical body, was willing to risk everything in order to take his final revenge.
"… Foolish humans, I, Ömdiroken, shall make you tremble as you walk towards destruction. Riot, earth, I am your master. Show me your final loyalty, and let those damned city walls turn into rubble and bricks under my wrath! "
And so, when Ömdiroken lost his entire physical body and returned to the Earth Elemental Plane covered in injuries, his hibernation period had been extended to the point where he could directly wait for the next Holy War. The powerful earthquake he brought about was destined to bring the most terrifying destruction.
And this was only the beginning. Countless earth elementals emerged from the ground. Their goal was to destroy the enemies of the earth elemental master.
"Red Maple City's defensive line, emergency!"
