Oblivious to the happenings in another world, Grimm continued to work day and night in the Blazing Flame Monarch.
The creation of the armband was a meticulous process that required constant refinement of alchemy techniques. Even with the help of the A.I. Chip, Grimm's progress was still slow.
Fortunately, Grimm had sufficient patience and resources, allowing him to advance amidst constant failures. Bit by bit, he prepared all the materials he needed to create the armband.
The armband was the first part to be completed. However, it alone could not be considered as a level-2 fire-attributed Wizard Artifact. Therefore, after soaking the bracelet in the Fire Dragon's blood for ten days, Grim finally pushed the process to the last step of the refinement.
He mixed the liquid from the fire agate with a neutralising agent mixed with fire dragon blood, then poured it into the rune grooves that had been engraved on the armband. Only after all of these rune grooves were connected could the three-dimensional rune arrays engraved on the entire armband construct a complete energy circulation system.
At that time, the combination of metal, runes and energy would truly become a grade 2 magic tool that would be of great help to Grimm. Before that, however, they were just a pile of rare materials!
In order to complete his second set of the Blazing Flame Monarch Set as soon as possible, apart from eating, meditating, and flipping through ancient texts, Grim spent almost all of his time immersed in his magic laboratory.
Of course, if it weren't for the fact that eating and drinking every day would bring great benefits to his body, and if he didn't need to meditate to recover his mental strength, perhaps Grimm would have skipped out on eating and meditating every day.
Not only did the immense pressure from the outside not crush his confidence and fighting spirit, it even managed to incite the stubbornness and madness hidden in the depths of Grimm's heart.
The more his enemies wanted him to collapse, the more he wanted to stand straight. The more his enemies wanted to kill him, the more he wanted to live brilliantly!
Grimm seemed to have abandoned all external distractions, wholeheartedly immersing himself in the creation and improvement of the armband with the flame emblem.
Grimm did not have a master when it came to alchemy, and it was impossible for him to have one.
With just a beginner's guide to creating puppets, Grimm had relied on the A.I. Chip's assistance to forge himself into an underground Alchemist!
Of course, as an Underground Master Alchemist, he was a little too partial. His expertise was in the creation of magical puppets and the refinement of rare items. As for the other categories and fields, Grimm didn't know anything about them. His knowledge couldn't even compare to that of an Apprentice Alchemist.
However, perhaps it was because of this stubbornness and madness that Grimm was able to improve by leaps and bounds in the field of Wondrous Item Making. The moment the Flame Emblem was forged, Grimm's title as a Master Alchemist was fully justified!
Sorcerer Calendar, July 25th, 32856
On the 78th day after Grimm signed the contract, which was also the 31st day after he returned from his first exploration of the Fire Elemental Plane, the long-awaited flame emblem armband was finally completed.
When the two pieces of the Blazing Flame Monarch linked with his soul, a strange spiritual resonance appeared.
He didn't activate any spells, nor did he intentionally activate his life force. A ring of flames that only he could see started to linger around his body.
Elementary Fire Immunity!
Unlike his high fire resistance, Grimm obtained Elementary Fire Immunity this time.
Fire Immunity was different from Fire Resistance. They were two completely different concepts.
Fire Resistance was the strength of a lifeform's life force to resist fire elemental attacks. No matter how high a lifeform's fire resistance was, it would only be able to resist the damage of fire elemental attacks. However, some variations of fire elemental attacks would still take some damage.
For example, the physical damage from fire arrows, the explosive shockwaves from lava fireballs, and the burning of magma …
But Fire Immunity was a completely different story!
Fire Immunity meant that a lifeform would no longer be harmed by any flames or variations of fire elemental attacks. Although Grimm only obtained Elementary Fire Immunity and could only resist some low-ranked fire elemental attacks, it was still a great help to him.
After all, in the Fire Elemental Plane, most of the creatures were mindless low-ranked fire elementals that only knew how to wander around aimlessly. Now that Grimm had Elementary Fire Immunity, he no longer had to worry about being attacked by them!
In this way, the Lord of the Flames' large army of fire elementals became useless. Grimm only needed to be careful of the high-ranked fire elementals.
Hence, on the second day after his successful refinement, Grimm had a good night's sleep to replenish his spiritual force. He then opened the Flame Gate and sneaked into the Fire Elemental Plane with shifty eyes.
It had to be said that the stubbornness of fire elemental creatures was truly admirable!
Just as Grimm came out of the Flaming Gate, he was engulfed by a dozen or so fireballs that flew towards him.
Ferocious flames, berserk shockwaves, and extremely high temperatures that could vaporize steel …
In an instant, Grimm's vision was engulfed by the terrifying flames, and the damage from the flames projected by the A.I. Chip in his mind increased exponentially. In the blink of an eye, the temperature had risen to 536 degrees.
This intensity was enough to kill most rank 1 Magi in a direct confrontation. Of course, if they were caught off guard, even rank 2 Magi would be at a disadvantage.
However, when the surging flames gradually subsided, the rank 1 Flame Spirits surrounding the Flame Gate were shocked to discover that their target, the weak human in crimson robes, was still standing in place.
Not only was he unharmed, even the crimson robes that were enveloped by the strange flames were undamaged. At this moment, he was looking around with an unfriendly expression. His black eyes were filled with unconcealable rage.
Damn it, this bunch of stubborn Flame Spirits had been waiting for him for 31 days!
This … this was a kind of stubbornness that could cause one to collapse!
Grimm looked around and immediately noticed that the location of the Flaming Gate was not the same as the last time. There were no signs of grasslands in the surroundings, which meant that the Flame Gate was at least 100 miles away from the previous location.
The only possibility for the Flame Spirits to be able to wait for him so far away was that they were monitoring all the weak points in this plane.
With a trace of fury from being ambushed, and a desire to test out the might of the Blazing Flame Monarch's two-piece set, Grimm let out a soft roar. His two large hands that were outside his robes instantly ignited with scorching flames that soared into the skies.
Flaming Hands!
If this apprentice-level sorcery was performed by a sorcerer-apprentice, it would only be able to spread the flames half a meter away at most. However, when Grimm, a rank 2 Fire Magus, cast the same spell, the flames would reach five to six metres high.
The eleven rank 1 Flame Spirits, who were originally worried that the human Magus would cast some powerful spell, retreated and prepared themselves for battle. Now that they saw that the human Magus had cast such a simple and crude fire spell, the Flame Spirits immediately relaxed and pounced forward.
As rank 1 Flame Spirits of the Fire Elemental Plane, their fire resistance was shockingly high. Hence, there was no need to worry that the low-ranked fire spell of this human Magus would harm their bodies. Instead, they could take advantage of the time when the human Magus was casting the spell to attack him in close combat.
After all, this human Magus had just displayed a terrifying fire resistance ability. It seemed that long-range fire attacks were ineffective against him, so the Flame Spirits could only rely on close combat!
However, just as the eleven Flame Spirits rushed to Grimm's side, the blazing flames in Grimm's hands suddenly trembled and distorted. The misty flames condensed into resplendent spears that were as red as crystals.
"Go!"
Grimm roared, and the flames in his palms were pushed to the limit. Eleven crystal spears that were as hard as steel extended from his hands and pierced through the chests of the eleven Flame Spirits, piercing through the cores of the flames within.
The eleven rank 1 Flame Spirits trembled and froze on the spot, unable to move.
As Grimm clenched his fists, the eleven crystal spears instantly dissipated into incorporeal flames and returned to Grimm's palms.
The bodies of the eleven Flame Spirits trembled more and more violently. Finally, the shattered cores could no longer restrain the flames. * Peng Peng Peng … * Small-scale Sacrificial Explosions erupted one after another, engulfing the scene in terrifying flames.
Of course, this kind of self-destruction caused by the annihilation of their souls was countless times less powerful than their conscious self-destruction. Hence, Grimm stood rooted to the ground and treated it as a gust of hot wind, not even bothering to dodge.
He hoped that the Flame Spirits did not spread the news in time!
Grimm muttered to himself after dealing with these reckless fellows.
However, Grimm knew that this was just wishful thinking. The moment he had teleported here, the Flame Spirits had already transmitted the situation back to their nests.
He could not stay here for long. Otherwise, he might really encounter those terrifying rank 2 and 3 Flame Spirits!
With Grimm's current strength, he had an 80% chance of winning against a rank 2 Flame Spirit. If he had to face two of them, his chances would plummet to 30%. If there were three, Grimm would definitely run as far as he could. Otherwise, he would definitely be chased to death.
As for the rank 3 Flame Spirits, Grimm could only order the Balrog to self-destruct to buy himself some time to escape. He had no other way to deal with them.
However, the only good thing was that rank 3 creatures in the Fire Elemental Plane were as rare as rank 3 Sorcerers in the Magus World. It was impossible to encounter one so easily. Otherwise, Grimm would never have dared to come to this world where death was certain!
