There was a huge difference between Body of Flame and Body of Flame.
If Grimm's Body of Flame was considered a body of flesh and blood before, then now that he had transformed into a Body of Flame, he was truly immune to fire. Even without the buff from the Flame Lord's Scepter, he could still bathe in the sea of lava as he pleased. He no longer had to worry about being hurt by the high temperature.
After all, the so-called fire immunity buff only protected him from low-level fire damage. Once the elemental flames exceeded a certain limit, he would still have to endure a certain amount of fire damage. Previously, when he had strengthened his Body of Flame, his body had been constantly damaged by the fierce fire energy. This was mainly because the intensity of the fire energy had exceeded the limit of his fire immunity.
Now that he had transformed his body into a Body of Flame, he could elementalize a part of his body at any time and become immune to all fire damage. In the future, even a Tier 2 Wizard would not be able to harm him with an elemental fireball. However, this immunity was only limited to fire spells. If he encountered a variant fire spell, he would not be able to avoid taking damage.
For example, the Lava Fireball was a combination of fire and physical damage. Grimm might be immune to fire damage, but he could not be immune to physical damage. This variant fire spell made up more than half of all spells. It was used by Wizards to prevent their elemental attacks from being countered by their enemies.
For example, if Grimm had gone too deep into the lava, he might have been injured by the flames. Now that he had a Body of Flame, any area where fire elemental particles gathered would become his home ground. Even the hottest elemental flames could not harm him. Instead, they would become his greatest benefits.
At least in the lava, the Molten Core Giant's geographical advantage had been taken care of!
Previously, Grimm's control over elemental flames was considered a high-level spell technique. Now, controlling elemental flames had become a natural instinct for him. From now on, Grimm would no longer need to run around in the sea of flames. He was the fire, and the fire was him. The elemental flames under his control would no longer harm his clothes!
Apart from this, the greatest benefit of having a Body of Flame was that he could specialize in fire. The power of all fire spells would be doubled, the duration of casting would be halved, and the consumption of mental strength would be halved. In any area with an abundance of fire element, his spiritual energy recovery speed would be doubled, and his Body of Flame would automatically repair his injuries.
However, there were gains and losses!
The Body of Fire wasn't always good. At the very least, when Grimm was attacked by Water or Ice Element attacks, the damage would be doubled. In an area with an abundance of water elements, his self-healing and spiritual energy recovery would be inhibited.
Grim was already aware of this, so he was not surprised. Right now, he was more concerned about the state of his strength. After a careful scan by the A.I. Chip, the latest statistics of his strength were projected.
Name: Grim
Race: Human (Semi-Elemental)
Attributes: 9.24 Power (+ 1), 7.87 Agility (+ 1), 20 Constitution, Spiritual Power
Profession: Sorcerer-Apprentice (Quasi Sorcerer)
Health Points (Healthy)
Class EXP Class Skills: Scroll Copying, Spell Reading, Puppet Making (Intermediate), Fire Mastery
Personal Skills: Body of Flame (Passive), Flaming Hand, Flame Arrow, Flame Spear, Flame Shield, Flame Reflection (Close Combat Passive), High Temperature Field
Magic Equipment: Flaming Lord's Scepter, Storage Belt, Secret Voodoo Scroll, Boots of Speed (Agility + 1), Talisman of Brute Force (Vitality, Strength + 1), Dispel Wand, Healing Wand, Prophecy Wand, Green Fairy (Curse Resistance + 5), Screaming Twig
Looking at the A.I. Chip's statistics, Grim's steady heart could not help but be excited. He had finally become a Quasi Sorcerer! From now on, he was no longer a rookie acolyte who could be killed by anyone!
Unfortunately, ever since his spiritual force had jumped from 16 to 20 points, the + 1 Noble Headband and + 2 Ain Stone had lost their effects. His spiritual force had already reached the upper limit of 20 points for acolytes. If he wanted to increase it further, he would need to comprehend the power of the law and undergo a necessary advancement ceremony.
However, this was all in the future. Now that he had become a Quasi Sorcerer, the plan he had been planning for a long time could finally be implemented!
After obtaining the Body of Flame, the aura of a human on his body became fainter. As long as he disguised himself carefully, with the harsh and cruel environment of the Lava Sea, it would be extremely difficult for the Molten Core Giants to find him again.
Grim returned to the shore and used his magic equipment to equip himself. Then, he dived into the Lava Sea and disappeared.
… …
Elder Nimr had been feeling uneasy for the past few days.
As the chieftain of the remaining Molten Core Giants, he had to use his intelligence and life to protect and continue the existence of the Molten Core Giants.
This world did not belong to them!
Although the Molten Core Giants had strong bodies and individual strength, they were a special race that could not leave the Volcano World and live independently. They could only defend their own world and avoid the invasion of outsiders.
This world belonged to the human Magi.
This was something that was known from the moment the first Molten Core Giant was born in the depths of the earth's core. The reason why the human Magi could tolerate the existence of a foreign race like them was to enslave and plunder them.
The Volcano World belonged to them, and they belonged to the Juber Family.
With a magic contract from a thousand years ago, the great Molten Core Giant Tribe became an alternative miner for the local human Magi family. Every five years, they had to submit a long list of resources. The number of resources was enough to give the Children of the Flame Sea a headache.
As a proud and tyrannical race, it was not that they had never tried to resist, but the power of the human Magi was not something they could resist. People who had never experienced the power of a Grade 3 Magus could not understand how terrifying it was. The most direct consequence of that riot to the Molten Core Giants tribe was the loss of 1/3 of their population. It took them three to four hundred years to recuperate from such a huge injury.
Before the rebellion, although the human Magi oppressed them harshly, they would not step into their territory. However, in the past few hundred years, the Magi Family called Juber became more and more outrageous. They often sent some Magi apprentices down to train during the temporary rest period of the volcano.
For the human apprentices, it might be a life experience, but for the Molten Core Giants, it was like slaughtering their servant beasts. Sometimes, they would even gang up on a Molten Core Giant that was left alone, which made the Molten Core Giants even angrier.
However, Elder Nimur negotiated with the Grade 3 Magus of the Juber Family several times and was warned not to harm the Juber Family's apprentices. As for the foreign apprentices, they were not included.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of the Molten Core Giants, it was impossible to recognize the human apprentices. Therefore, they could only form patrol teams and guard their territory, not allowing any human apprentices to get close to their habitat. Fortunately, the human apprentices who came for the trial were limited in strength. In addition, the Molten Core Giants consciously dispersed the fire creatures to the periphery, so there were not many situations where they could break into the Lava Sea and disturb their lives.
However, the situation this year was obviously different from the past.
This time, there was a mysterious guy among the human apprentices. He broke into the edge of the Lava Sea five times and seemed to be studying some unknown witchcraft. As this guy was extremely cunning and strange, it was difficult to stop him even if two or three patrol teams were sent. Therefore, Nimur could only order the giants to be more vigilant. The little guy in the tribe was not allowed to leave their residence alone.
In order to prevent outsiders from coveting the gems and materials collected, Nimur even sent two more powerful warriors to guard the family's treasury. But even so, when he was comfortably soaking in the fire pool, a chill flashed through his heart from time to time, as if he had missed something very important.
Nimur was a large Molten Core Giant that was seven meters tall. He was also the oldest person in the tribe, having lived for 1815 years. And his strength had reached the peak of the Molten Core Giants. If converted to human Magi, he would at least have the strength of a Grade 2 Magus.
However, as a special race that relied on its strong body and talent to fight, the number of powerful fire abilities it could master was less than ten. And human Magi of the same rank would easily have close to a hundred powerful witchcraft to choose from.
Without the human Magi's deep accumulation of knowledge that lasted for nearly ten thousand years, without the human Magi's endless strange equipment, without the human Magi's huge number that could come at a moment's notice, the Molten Core Giants would never be able to escape the fate of being enslaved and ordered around by human Magi!
With Nimur's strength, as long as the terrifying Grade 3 Magus of the Juber Family did not come personally, he would not fear any opponent of the same rank in the Lava Sea. But these days, he still felt a chill in his heart from time to time, as if something bad was about to befall their tribe.
Therefore, he could not eat or sleep in peace these days. Every day, he constantly urged his tribe to patrol the area, regularly patrolling the entire island, causing everyone to be dispirited. But what made him feel rather gratified was that after going through such hardships, the volcano's three-month temporary rest period was finally coming to an end. Sensing the rumbling thunder in the depths of the earth's core that was getting louder and louder, he felt a little more relieved.
But it was at times like this that he felt more afraid.
