The Fire Elemental Plane was indeed the world of fire creatures.
A pure Fire Magus like Grimm could also enjoy a huge boost to his fire elemental abilities.
It was a pity that the creatures here had high Fire Resistance. Otherwise, Grimm would have treated this exploration as a pleasant trip to another world to kill monsters.
In order to reduce the chances of him being discovered, Grimm could only complete the transformation of his flames and reveal his body of fire. In the Fire Elemental Plane, there were many low-ranked fire elementals like him that wandered around aimlessly.
When faced with intruders who had crossed the border, they would roar and charge forward like madmen, shouting, "Destroy the intruders …" "Let the flames warm your body and mind …" and other messy slogans. If there was a disagreement, they would immediately start a war. Once they realised that the enemy was too strong for them to handle, they would self-destruct without hesitation!
At Grimm's current level, Apprentice or Tier 1 Fire Elementals could be killed with a wave of his hand. However, fighting with them would always leave some traces, which would undoubtedly lead his pursuers to his footsteps.
So, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Grimm disguised himself as a Grade 1 fire person and carefully advanced in a certain direction.
Grimm obviously did not idle along the way. His newly acquired 'Flame Shaping' ability had become a toy that he was very interested in, and he was having a lot of fun playing with it.
This was the strange ability that the flame emblem on his arm had bestowed upon him. When he condensed magical flames on his hands, the flames could freely change shape according to his will. After countless attempts and experiments, Grimm had successfully simulated over a hundred different weapons such as blades, swords, claws, shields, spears, whips, bows and so on.
According to the A.I. Chip's data, this' Flame Shaping 'ability could be roughly split into two types: short-range and mid-range. The short-range weapons could simulate blades, swords, war hammers, claws, shields and so on. The quality of the weapons and armours could be compared to Grade 1 Magus equipment. The mid-range weapons could simulate a flaming whip or a flaming bow, and when paired with arrows formed from flames, they had a certain degree of mid-range attack power.
With so many new tricks, if he were to encounter an enemy and use them randomly, there would definitely be problems. That was why Grimm had the A.I. Chip gather enough basic data and began to repeatedly deduce the forms of the weapons that were most useful in battle, preparing to solidify them into one of his battle abilities.
Moreover, the Flame Emblem and Ash Boots had already resonated with his soul. This way, other than in his human form, he could continue to enjoy the benefits of the two Tier 2 Magic Tools even after transforming into a Balrog.
The Ash Boots gave Grimm + 1 Spirit, while the Flame Emblem gave Grimm + 1 Strength.
Moreover, this kind of data bonus was not something that the Origin Contract could restrain.
Therefore, along the way, Grimm explored the strange scenery of the Fire Elemental Plane while experimenting with his flame shaping ability. Two clusters of bright yellow flames burned in his palms, changing into various weapons from time to time.
As though he had discovered a brand new world, Grimm was able to perform all sorts of tricks with the simple flame molding technique. At one moment, it would turn into a dazzling golden shield, then into a flaming whip that could be used at close or far range, then into a set of half-body armour and claws, then into a flaming bow …
Of course, besides these basic weapon forms, Grimm was playful and even controlled the flames to transform into the form of a magic cannon. It was a pity that the runic spell formation at the core of the cannon consumed too much spirit. Although Grimm's magic cannon had a cool appearance, it could only fire the simplest energy fireball.
"A.I. Chip, is it possible to solidify a powerful long-range weapon form?" After some thought, Grimm searched through the A.I. Chip's database.
[Magic Archer form … Using the flame molding technique to simulate the shape of an energy cannon. The host's right arm will be the cannon's carrier, and the host's right shoulder will be the turret's support. Attack will be an energy fireball. Estimated attack strength of 170-210 degrees, attack rate of 3 shots every 2 seconds …]
Following the A.I. Chip's instructions, a three-dimensional image began to rotate in Grimm's mind.
The main body of the image was still Grimm's Balrog form, but his arms were no longer solitary lava hands. Instead, they were covered by two energy cannons that flickered with silver light. The cannons snaked up Grimm's arms, and when they reached his shoulders, they transformed into a strange pauldron.
In the past, Grimm liked to control large areas of the battlefield, turning his field of vision into a sea of flames at every turn. However, this method of battle was a little lacking in small-scale battles. Due to the dispersion of the area of effect spells, the damage dealt to opponents of the same rank was obviously insufficient.
Now that he had the flame molding ability, he could condense the flames in his palms into the shape of an energy cannon and quickly transform into the Magic Archer form. In this way, although his attack method had become a single energy fireball, the high attack speed and attack power of up to 200 degrees was still a good way to defeat the enemy.
"How long will it take to complete the design of the Magic Archer form?"
[Beep. Basic knowledge and spell theory have been prepared. Design and optimisation of the relevant battle modules will take 37 hours 56 minutes 33 seconds …]
"Let's begin now!"
[Beep. Receiving Host's orders. Initial construction of the Magic Archer form model …]
As the A.I. Chip began to calculate the huge amount of data and optimise the model, Grimm felt the spiritual force in his mind drain away rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he had lost 5 points of spiritual force. If not for his spiritual force reaching 26 points after advancing to Grade 2, and the 1 point from the Ashes Boots, even he would not have been able to endure such an intense drain on his spiritual force.
Grimm immediately stopped and looked around. Very quickly, he found a small pool of fire that was suitable for him to quickly recover his spiritual force. He then rushed over without hesitation.
As for the original owner of this small pool of fire, a high-grade Grade 1 Fire Djinn, he had intentionally or unintentionally ignored it.
A moment later, the high-grade Grade 1 Fire Djinn's core was dug out by Grimm, and it was destroyed in a sea of flames that filled the sky. Grimm, on the other hand, jumped into the blazing pool and began to take a bath.
Mortals in this world could only enjoy hot springs, and only creatures of the Fire Elemental Plane could enjoy this unique fire bath.
… …
Just as Grimm was leisurely enjoying his fiery life, in another part of the Dustfire Canyon, a large number of flaming creatures under the command of the Lord of the Flames, Arteses, were searching for traces of an intruder.
However, the black mountain that Grimm had appeared in was tens of thousands of miles away from Arteses' Dustfire Canyon. Hence, even if Arteses turned his territory upside down, he would not be able to find any traces of Grimm.
However, the Grade 2 Lord of the Flames, Arteses, was not an incompetent person. After a fruitless search, he immediately gave up and began to play a tight-knit game. He even called out to the nearby Lords of the Flames, setting up an inescapable net around the entire Dustfire Canyon.
This way, no matter which direction the human Magus tried to sneak into his territory, he would not be able to hide from the scouts he had set up.
His only regret was that he knew too little about the human Magus who was about to 'assassinate' him. This made it difficult for him to plan an ambush based on the enemy's personality and habits. However, when he thought about the 7,000 Flame Corps in his territory, Arteses could not help but calm down.
Now, he just had to wait for the human Magus to ambush him!
… …
It had to be said that the Fire Elemental Plane was the most suitable plane for Fire Magi to train and explore.
Once he entered the plane, the Heart of Flames in Grimm's chest became exceptionally powerful. The frequency at which it released fire energy was also much faster than in the outside world.
More importantly, the plane's consciousness seemed to be willing to open its heart to every Fire Magus, allowing them to live freely in this strange world. Hence, if it was possible in the future, Grimm felt that it would be better for him to set up a spell laboratory here.
If he could not stay in the Magus World any longer, it would not be a bad idea to turn this place into a second plane!
This was a vast, fiery plain!
The dry and cracked ground was filled with crisscrossing cracks and canyons. Terrifying air currents with scorching temperatures shot out of the ground from time to time, forming scarlet pillars of fire that were hundreds of metres tall.
The temperature of these fire pillars was over 6,000 degrees Celsius. Even native fire creatures wouldn't be able to withstand such terrifying heat if they were hit. They would be incinerated into ashes by the surging flames and the fire pillars.
Then, as the fire pillars continued to rise from the ground, there would occasionally be some formed fire crystals or strange magical gems mixed in the flames and ejecting from time to time. These things were undoubtedly a great supplement for the low-ranked Fire Magi. Hence, even though this place was extremely dangerous, there were still many Fire Magi wandering around in search of them.
From afar, one could see Fire Spirits, Fire Elementals, Fire Men, and Fire Elementals roaming around in the vast plane …
While Grimm was hiding here and there, there was an unprecedented eruption here. Countless rare flame materials were spewed out from the ground, raining gemstones on the flaming plains.
This was the first time Grimm had seen such a scene in the Fire Elemental Plane, and he could not help but be attracted to it.
Fire Agate, Fire Crystals, Fire Stones, Fire Cores, Lava Fragments, and countless other strange Fire Magi …
Grimm stood outside the sea of fire and silently scanned the entire flaming plain. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he was attracted by a strange gem that was rolling in the sky.
