In the following days, Grim began his peeping career!
It's a pity that Lord Artes is like a standard otaku, soaking in the lava fire pool every day. He is almost never seen going out to inspect the territory or meet his people. Even if the guard captain occasionally runs away
When he came to report on his work, he sat cross-legged in the fire pool and dismissed the other person with a few casual words.
It can also be seen from here that the flame lords of the fire elemental plane generally do not have a strong desire for power, and almost all their hearts are devoted to absorbing flame energy and improving their own strength. And the way they improve is also the same.
Primitive and crude, they are simply unworthy of the high-quality resources and convenience they possess.
Under the peeping eye of the witchcraft secretly placed by Greem, this Lord of Ates no longer had any secrets or privacy for him. During the alternating surveillance and peeping day and night, Greem was also thinking repeatedly.
And thinking about feasible plans to assassinate the opponent.
A frontal attack will definitely not work!
The opponent himself is also a powerful level 2 flame lord. Even if it is an honest challenge and Greem uses all his cards, the chance of defeating the opponent is only 40%. If you add those level 1 lava giant guards, under their harassment
, Greem's winning rate will drop directly to 10%.
If his luck was even worse, the level 2 lava giant captain would still be accompanying Artus, and Greem wouldn't even have a 10% chance of winning!
So from the very beginning, Greem made a plan of sneak attack and ambush.
Before taking action, Greem still needs to find a way to weaken the opponent's basic strength. Otherwise, as long as the opponent lasts seven or eight minutes, the lava giants from the entire Flame City will come to attack Greem.
Fortunately, before setting off, Greem considered the need to sneak attack and ambush a Fire Lord, and purchased a batch of ice crystal cold marrow at a high price in the wizard market. This is a strange ice marrow taken from the parotid glands of the ice monster snowworm.
, it can also be regarded as a rare and rare material.
If a wizard who practices the ice system uses it as medicine, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance his own strength. However, if a fire wizard inadvertently takes it, it will have terrible consequences of contaminating the source of the flame.
Of course, with the power of Artus, it would be difficult for Greem to trick the opponent into swallowing the ice crystal cold marrow, so Greem could only find another way and use other methods to achieve this indirectly.
On this day, Greem slipped out of his hiding place again and sneaked into the Flame City quietly.
After these days of visiting and exploring, Greem has a clear grasp of the terrain of this flaming city, and is even more familiar with the key nodes.
In one breath, he buried hundreds of alchemical bombs on most of the supporting stone pillars in the Flame City. When the predetermined time came, Greem immediately detonated all the bombs remotely without hesitation.
The Flame City, which had been silent for less than 40 days, once again fell into chaos and madness.
The stone pillars supporting the rock walls above were blown apart, and the rubble and collapsed rock walls above the Dustfire Canyon rolled down, burying nearly 1/5 of the city under the falling rocks.
The deafening roar and the earth-shaking power immediately led Artus, who was taking a nap with his eyes closed, out of the Hall of Fire.
While Artus was roaring and roaring loudly outside the hall, Greem once again became invisible and slipped in, plunging into the lava fire pool.
After entering, the first thing Greem did was naturally set up a strange flame witch array on the bottom of the pool. This flame witch array was divided into three levels, taking into account three types of witchcraft effects.
The first effect is, of course, to absorb the flame energy in the lava fire pool and provide it to Greem as a follow-up supplement to his battle. The second effect is a flame cage, which uses the energy in the fire pool as material to build a tower beside the pool.
A flame cage that isolates the inside and outside. So you don’t have to worry about being disturbed by the outside world!
The third effect is the invisibility barrier, which can hide Greem's soul breath to avoid being noticed by the opponent in advance.
After setting up the witchcraft formation, Greem placed a small witchcraft trap in Artus's favorite place to lie down, and hid the sealed ice crystal cold marrow in it.
After everything was arranged properly, Greem dispersed his real body, allowing himself to disintegrate into a dense ball of fire, and quietly hid at the bottom of the lava fire pool.
With the cover of the invisibility barrier, as long as the opponent does not scan this area specifically, it is impossible to discover Greem's existence. After all, Fire Lord Artus is only good at physical combat and has only 13 points of mental power, and if Greem has 2
Transformed into a Balrog for the first time, his mental power reached 29 points.
This kind of strength, coupled with the terrifying Balrog, is enough to give Artus a try!
The waiting time always passes extremely slowly.
Its territory was bombed to pieces by foreign enemies, but its incompetent subordinates could not even find the enemy's shadow. Such a thing would be enough to make it angry and furious no matter who it happened to.
After knocking down three lava giants in one go, Artus vented his anger a little. At the same time, he ordered Huo Lie, the only second-level tribesman under his command, to lead a small team of lava giants to search the entire city carefully.
, while ordering the fire elemental army to rush to the entrance of Dustfire Canyon and completely blockade it.
No creature can step out of the Dustfire Canyon until the troublemaker is found!
This time, Fire Lord Artus's orders were resolutely implemented and executed.
A large number of formed fire elements occupied the entrance and set up a cordon. While the lava giants loudly repeated the lord's orders, they gathered all the flame creatures into a special cave for subsequent careful screening.
And Artus mobilized two more lava giants to guard outside the Hall of Fire. In this way, the number of first-level lava giant guards around it has reached four. This is for a clan of lava giants with only twenty-seven people in total.
It is said that this is an unprecedented strict measure.
After angrily scolding his men, Artus swayed his heavy and stocky body to the lava fire pool again, and jumped in without hesitation.
The bottom of this fire pool slopes slowly downward. The edge of the fire pool is only more than three meters deep, while the central area is seven or eight meters deep. Therefore, Artus stood on the edge, and nearly half of his body was still exposed.
Because his thoughts were disturbed, Artus did not pay attention to everything in the fire pool. He slowly pushed the golden mountain and fell the jade pillar, half leaning and half lying on the edge of the fire pool, only exposing his huge one-meter-square head to the magma. In order to wait
As a result of the hunt by his tribe, Artus did not choose to take a nap, but slowly closed his eyes, silently absorbing the energy of the fire that continued to overflow from the tumbling liquid.
And just as it was drifting in a trance, Greem, who was lurking at the bottom of the fire pool, slowly gathered his body and opened his eyes.
As a level 2 fire wizard, Greem's own flame energy was also incredibly high. It was impossible for him to face Artus face to face without the other party noticing anything. Therefore, Greem dissipated the energy in advance and used the help of
The flame energy of the lava fire pool obscured his own existence.
Now that the action was imminent, Greem began to gather his body unscrupulously and increase his strength crazily.
A transformation... into a body of fire!
Second transformation...the body of a fire demon!
As the two tall flame demons rose from the ground, the flame energy of the entire lava fire pool was completely disrupted, and a tyrannical spiritual consciousness quickly moved towards the Ates Lord.
Um...what's going on?
Artus, who was still resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the bottom of the thick and stagnant fire pool in horror.
There, a tyrannical flame energy suddenly condensed and formed, and then rolled over it like a hill.
There is an enemy!
The enemy is at the bottom of the lava pool!
Artus, who understood instantly, roared angrily and planned to stand up.
Unfortunately, Greem's mental power has already been activated.
Naturally, the first one to find Artus was the magic mechanism that Grim had set up on the wall of the pool.
As a flame rune suddenly appeared and shattered, a fist-sized halo emitting a hazy red light hit Artus' thick lava legs. Then the next moment, the red light dissipated, and a wave of light made Artus
The frightened and unsettling breath of ice quickly dissipated from the impact point.
In just a moment, Artus and the surrounding lava fire pool of more than ten meters were frozen in a layer of blue ice crystals. A layer of strange frost flowers followed Artus's lava body towards
Its chest, head and arms spread out.
If this layer of frost spreads into its flame core and soul origin, I am afraid that its subsequent advancement will no longer be possible.
Fire defeats ice, ice defeats fire!
These two attributes are mutually reinforcing and contradictory. There is no real strength or weakness, only local abundance and scarcity!
With Artus's strength and the endless flame power of the lava fire pool, the ice power contained in this mass of ice crystals and cold marrow would be consumed in less than half a quarter of an hour. But after the ice power is consumed,
Before, at least in Artus's case, the sudden burst of ice power still had the upper hand, making Artus scream and curse incessantly.
And just as Artus was struggling to gather the fire energy in his body to compete with the invading ice power, the slurry inside the fire pool splashed out, and two tall Balrogs rose up from the ground and launched the most powerful attack on it.
A fierce attack.
At the edge of the lava fire pool, the red slurry, restrained and twisted by a strange force, rose up to form dozens of lava fire pillars more than one meter thick, completely sealing off the entire pool.
The four lava giant guards who came after hearing the news saw the besieged Fire Lord through the gap in the fire pillar. They immediately became anxious and slammed the lava fire pillar with all their strength. Unfortunately, with the endless energy of the lava fire pool, the fire pillar had just appeared partially.
It was damaged, but was repaired in the blink of an eye.
The lava giant guards couldn't help but roar loudly and angrily... (To be continued)
