At first, the strange burning smell that permeated the surroundings did not attract the attention of the adventurers. This was because in this wasteland that had experienced the deicidal war, countless strange smells had already numbed the senses of the outsiders. The synthetic substances that flowed out from the underground factories, pipeline networks, industrial raw material pools, and the gas wells and liquid storage facilities that were still burning were emitting a smell that made Lola and her companions nervous. After experiencing so many false alarms, the first reaction of the adventurers was that there might be some industrial facilities that had leaked out from the nearby area.
However, as the strange smell in the air became more and more obvious, the vigilance in the hearts of the adventurers finally awakened. Lola subconsciously stopped in her tracks. Countless fine, dark-red patterns appeared on the surface of the enchanted short bow in her hand. A one-handed swordsman walking beside her also raised his sword in a defensive posture. He whispered to his companions around him, "Something's not right … I feel that something is gathering …"
"Stay alert!" The two-handed swordsman, who was acting as the temporary leader of the team, raised his arm. This experienced adventurer had already smelled the scent of danger approaching. "The elements are being enriched … There's an invisible crack nearby!"
Elements?
Almost instantly, Rolla turned his gaze to Modir, who was probably the most powerful spellcaster in the team. Although Extraordinaires could sense the flow of magic and elemental power, only mages were the true experts in the elemental field. This experienced old gentleman would definitely be of great use at this moment!
However, just as she swept her gaze over, she saw that the old gentleman Modir was just standing there in a daze. He seemed to have fallen into that trance again.
"Damn it … Modir!" Lola's heart suddenly panicked. She did not care about the etiquette of an elder and immediately shouted, "Stop spacing out! Something's not right! "
Modir was instantly awakened from his daze. The old mage quickly raised his eyelids and instantly noticed the turbulent elemental power in the air around him. He immediately exclaimed in a low voice, "The lungs of the founding emperor! Can't you see that there's an elemental rift opening in front of you? You're actually walking straight to such a close distance?! "
As she exclaimed, the old mage who had just regained her senses waved her hand and an invisible wave of magic instantly pushed forward. The adventurers suddenly widened their eyes. Where the invisible wind of magic blew, the elemental shadows that were originally hidden suddenly outlined the outline of a physical body, and an uncoordinated crack appeared in the solid material world. A crimson crack that looked like a vertical pupil that was hundreds of meters tall and more than ten meters wide stood in front of the adventurers, and the flames and heat that were constantly spurting out from the crimson crack that looked like a vertical pupil were almost touching the scalps of Rolla and her companions!!
The young huntress instantly felt her heart skip a beat. She only glanced at the rift and saw countless flowing lava condensing and forming in another world. Living flames danced and jumped in the air, and strange creatures of pure energy gathered on the other side of the rift maliciously. She had never seen such a terrifying scene in her entire life of adventuring. But she still quickly understood what she saw in front of her.
She faced the world of fire elemental, the most violent and dangerous domain of the elemental world.
"Find a place to hide first!" The voice of the temporary leader came from the front. The two-handed swordsman's voice was obviously trembling, but his command still brought the adventurers who had fallen into a daze. Lola and her companions finally woke up from their daze and rushed to the nearest giant crystal pillar at the fastest and most agile speed in their lives, hiding in the shadow of the pillar's base.
"What should we do?" A Druil asked nervously. "This thing … this thing is obviously beyond our ability to deal with … we can't beat it. The only thing we can do is to hurry back and inform the Dragons …"
"Those things on the other side of the elemental rift have seen us," the leader said quickly. "There are Flamewalkers in there. We can't outrun those monsters in this terrain …"
Lola's gaze fell on Modir who had hidden with them. She instinctively wanted to ask the only mage on the scene how to get through the crisis, but the scene in front of her made her speechless for a moment.
She watched as the old mage took out innumerable odds and ends from his arms at an astonishing speed, including self-made amulets, spices to enhance mana, crushed crystals, and powdered metal ore dust. These precious and ordinary spellcasting media were quickly transformed into mysterious runes in the old mage's hands. Amidst the continuous flashes, Modir activated an unknown number of magical effects, and as he gestured to cast spells, he quickly chanted a double spell. Rolla had seen many mages in her life, but she had never seen a mage who could cast spells with such efficiency and frequency!
And what was this old man doing? Were the spells that he used really the spells that modern mages often used?
Lola's eyes widened. She could not make out the meaning of the magical runes in Modir's hands. The other adventurers nearby also finally noticed the old mage's actions. The confusion on their faces was no less than Lola's. At this moment, Modir finally finished a stage of spell preparation. He looked up at the burly temporary leader and said quickly and seriously, "We have to be careful. So I'll give you a few layers of shields first …"
The two-handed swordsman who acted as the leader was stunned for a moment. Before he could ask anything, he felt a sudden pressure from the direction of the elemental rift. Some of the adventurers boldly looked out and instantly shrank back in horror. The elemental rift had completely opened. A flame giant as large as a tower stepped into the real world from the rift. Endless heat radiated from the giant's body. Countless fire elements flowed, jumped, exploded, and regenerated around the giant like a carnival. The giant did not care about the little things moving around him. He just looked at the desolate wasteland around him, and an obvious and pleasant smile appeared on his hideous face.
"Damn it! We're done for! "The two-handed swordsman's face was pale." That thing … even a Giant Dragon would be no match for it! "
"Shut up, I'm casting a spell!" Modir's voice came from behind the swordsman. The old mage reprimanded him as he quickly outlined dozens of glowing runes beside the swordsman. "We have to be careful. I'll give you 20 more layers of flame protection and 20 more layers of lethal protection … Wait, I'll add 62 more layers of damage reduction shields …"
Before his voice trailed off, the surface of the two-handed swordsman's body was gradually filled with a brighter and brighter light. He felt as if a layer of wall was being built on the surface of his body, and the growing sense of foreboding forced him to speak. "Wait, wait, old sir, what are you doing …"
"It's to ensure safety," Modir said quickly. He raised his hand and pushed the two-handed swordsman away. "Alright, you're a melee class. Protect me when the battle starts. I'm a fragile mage. What are you waiting for? You've been strengthened! Go! "
The swordsman only had time to "Huh?" He staggered out of the giant stone pillar. At the same time, he heard the flame giant let out a deafening sound like a volcanic eruption. It was a mocking sound full of joy and malice, with a terrifying aura. "Aha!! Look! This is the headquarters of the Mithril Vault? These arrogant scaly animals finally have their day — the powerful Elemental Lord has returned! I want to see who took the shield that I collected with my own strength. I hope they're still alive, so I can enjoy it … Hmm? "
The flame giant suddenly stopped his blabbering. He was a little stunned to see a human who was flashing with radiance, stumbling out from under a nearby pillar like a jumping pebble. The human who stumbled out finally stopped and looked up at the flame giant in shock and fear. The two fellows who were caught off guard stared at each other in bewilderment. The flame giant was the first to react.
"Interesting … I remember this little canned meat is called a dwarf … or a human? Or an elf? Anyway, they look the same, crispy when roasted … "
The flame giant muttered as he stepped forward. The body that was condensed from lava and flames exuded an amazing heat. It seemed that the next second, it would crush the glowing two-handed swordsman like an ant. At that moment, a flash of light suddenly fell from the sky and cut through the dirty clouds above the wasteland. The dazzling light made the flame giant's movement stagnate for a moment. Then, the flame giant's huge body was hit by a lightning as thick as a bell tower. Countless lava boulders splashed in all directions!
She saw the temporary leader of the team being pushed out. His body was covered with more than a hundred layers of various protective spells. He looked like a fully armed, human-shaped city. She saw the old sorcerer hiding in the middle of the team nervously. His body was shining with the light ripples of spells. She saw the old sorcerer raise his arm. Then, a giant lightning bolt fell from the sky and engulfed the flame giant completely. She saw the old sorcerer raise his arm. Then, a giant lightning bolt fell from the sky and engulfed the flame giant. She saw the old sorcerer raise his arm. Then, a giant lightning bolt fell from the sky and engulfed the flame giant completely.
Instead of saying that it was a lightning bolt, it was better to say that it was a smash.
But it was not over yet. The flame giant's magic resistance seemed to be shockingly high. Although half of his body was chopped into pieces, he still struggled to climb out of the constantly flowing lightning. While he struggled to break free from the corrosion of the magic power, he roared at the sky, "Who dares to sneak attack the great —"
"Boom!!!"
Another arcane ball, like a small sun, fell from the sky. Before the great Elemental Lord could say his name, he was blasted into the sky together with a mushroom cloud. The remaining half of his body was spinning in the air, and the rising airwaves directly blew the nearest two-handed swordsman away. However, the swordsman was unscathed because of the layers of protective spells. He just somersaulted in the air and saw half of the flame giant's body fall to the ground. And from the corner of his eye, he saw the terrifying old mage hiding under the giant stone pillar, secretly casting a forbidden spell. At the same time, he quickly turned his head to look at the swordsman and gave him a thumbs up.
"F * ck …" The two-handed swordsman was so excited that he blurted out his native language, but his voice was soon swallowed up by the remaining wails of the flame giant and the loud sound of the second mushroom cloud erupting.
Then, giant lightning bolts that penetrated the sky and the earth, arcane balls that could blow up mushroom clouds, frost novas that could directly freeze solid flames, and meteorite fragments that fell from the sky took turns. In the terrible roar that could almost tear the earth apart, the wails of the flame giant did not last long. The last words he left in this world were a roar full of grief and indignation, which was very inelegant when translated.
The thrilling "battle" was finally over. The powerful Fire Elemental Lord disappeared under the bombardment of seventeen legendary spells in a row. The elemental followers he brought with him merged into Tarlonde's complex atmosphere in the first few attacks. The elemental fissure had also disappeared and could no longer bring a new crisis to this war-torn land. But Lola really did not know which one caused more damage, the elemental fissure or the seventeen magic bombardments of old Mr. Modir …
The air was filled with a pungent burnt smell, as well as various pungent smells after the air was decomposed by magic. The adventurers walked out from under the giant stone pillar in a daze, as if they had not realized what had just happened. Lola looked back at her hiding place with a blank expression. She saw that the old mage was the last one to come out of his hiding place. His black robe was steaming with a faint mist, which was the waste energy produced by the hundreds of enchantments that were gradually fading away. The magic crystal inlaid on his black bonnet was dim, which was the temporary exhaustion caused by overuse. He still looked a little nervous, so when he came out of his hiding place, he did not look like a powerful spellcaster who had just defeated an Elemental Lord. Instead, he looked more like a thief who had just been caught stealing rice from a grain barn.
Modir looked around and finally confirmed that the scene was safe. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw the two-handed swordsman standing not far away. The latter was so eye-catching that the hundreds of protective spells on his body made him look like a burning torch standing on the ground in broad daylight.
Looking at the 'torch', the old mage finally laughed. He quickly walked towards the two-handed swordsman. The latter's face suddenly showed a horrified expression, as if he wanted to retreat immediately. However, Modir's speed was much faster than a well-trained swordsman. He grabbed the swordsman's hand, his old face filled with a sincere smile. "Young man, it's all thanks to you! If a weak mage does not have any protection when casting spells, I don't know what will happen! "
The leader of the swordsman was dumbfounded. "…?"
Modir continued to hold his opponent's hand, and his enthusiasm was even more intense than before. "What a wonderful battle. Yes, wonderful. I haven't met a warrior who could cooperate with me so well in so many years. The last time I had a partner was probably a few centuries ago … Your skill really leaves a deep impression!"
The swordsman was still dumbfounded. "…?"
