Chapter 446 Melee


    The two adepts didn’t intercept Greem’s attack. Instead, they silently assessed the strength of the fireball.


    One hundred and thirty points!


    A casual attack by the me Demon could deal up to a hundred and thirty points of fire damage. This degree of power was shocking. Even ndre, who prided himself as an elite adept, would have trouble reaching such terrifying heights of power.


    He might be a water adept, but he didn’t choose to specialize with it as his mastery. That would make him and his spells extremely susceptible to a counterattack.


    In usual circumstances, ndre’s magical damage was only between eighty to a hundred points. If paired with the proper magical materials, chants, and handsigns, this amount could inte by another five to fifteen percent.


    ndre had once defeated three adepts with a single Water Dragon Wave, but that was only due to the waves of attacks from the spell itself, not to mention the fact that none of the enemies were elite adepts. After all, the core area of the Water Dragon Wave only reached one hundred and ten points. The edge of the spell dealt even less at seventy points.


    If it weren’t because ndre had a unique method to shape the Water Dragon Wave into a dense vortex that couldst for an entire forty seconds, he would never have been able to aplish the magnificent feat that had propelled him to his fate.


    That was why the n elders immediately sent ndre to the frontlines when they heard who the enemy was to be. The me Demon, who had the power of a veteran adept and the ability to reach elite level temporarily. The n also assigned the veteran Sicha to go along with ndre to ensure the sess of the operation. The sole purpose of Sicha’s inclusion was to aid ndre in capturing the famous me Demon in one fell swoop.


    On the other hand, there was Soul Adept Lamure. Her solo prowess was extremely limited. She probably couldn’t even beat an ordinary adept in a straightforward fight. However, if she discovered a chink in your soul, she would be an even more lethal force than ndre himself.


    Greem set fire to the magical vine forest and saved Hill. Yet, it didn’t seem he had any intention of leaping off of the wind dragon. He stood high up on the wind dragon and red coldly at the flock of red-eyed crows flying away into the distance. His eyes then moved on to the blue-robed ndre and the leather-armored Sicha.


    Without another word, Greem raised the ze of Destruction high above his head. Loud and resolute chants reverberated throughout thend as a massive fire spell formed in his hands.


    Judging from its shape, this was a Scarlet Firestorm!


    Dammit! The two adepts had already known that Greem chose to go down the path of me mastery. They knew he could cast spells at a much faster rate than an ordinary elementium adept. Still, watching arge-scale spell like this one form in under five seconds was a jarring experience.


    "I’ll keep him upied. You give him a mean one." A ferocious light red in Sicha’s eyes. He secretly transmitted a message to ndre before he took off. His body shed, and in just a single instant he appeared right beneath the wind dragon’s gigantic body. His figure shed again with a golden armor on it as a golden afterimage drew across the sky. He appeared just two meters below the wind dragon’s abdomen.


    Sicha was a true-blue body-refining adept. His control over his body had already reached levels far beyond ordinary men. The golden circlet gave him the ability to levitate. Sicha took a few steps as if he was walking on the firm ground and not stepping on the sky. The golden ws in his hands shed out several times, targeting the dragon’s unprotected abdomen.


    Back on the ground, a ripple of water enveloped ndre. Blue light shed as severalyers of Wave Shields and Water Barriers emerged and protected him within. Once he had cast his defenses, ndre took out a blue gemstone the size of a fist. He used it as a medium to rapidly cast Ice Lance Barrage.


    Ice spells were a variation of water spells, and ndre had mastery over several of them!


    However, their attacks still couldn’t reach the speed of Greem’s fire spell.


    Almost at the same time the two had finishedmunicating, Greem hurled the Scarlet Firestorm towards them. Meanwhile, he also started to transform into the me Fiend.


    A zing fire pir exploded into the sky with ndre at its center. The roiling elementium mes were streaked with traces of purple as they sizzled and burned away at ndre’s shields. The wind dragon that Greem was controlling wasn’t as stiff and dull as your ordinary elementium golem. Instead, it was as agile and flexible as an actual dragon.


    Faced with the storm of golden ws swinging at it, the wind dragonshed out with its tail. Its pair of broad wings thrummed, and several transparentyers of wind vortices swiftly covered its entire body.


    The delicate elementium control of the wind dragon allowed it to shape the direction of the wind vortices, causing every one of them to pull in a slightly different direction. Stacked together, they were even sturdier than any magical defense an adept could muster.


    Even with his violent strength, Sicha’s w was still almost diverted by the barrier of wind. If he had been an agility-focused body-refining adept instead, he likely wouldn’t even have a chance to break through the wind dragon’s defense.


    The golden w pierced through theyers of wind and finally came into contact with the wind dragon’s thick hind leg.


    Sparks flew everywhere.


    Sicha and the wind dragon were both knocked back. A considerable distance quickly grew between the two of them.


    Meanwhile, Greem had transformed into a towering demon burning with mes. He pointed with his smoke-shrouded magma finger as a chain of Explosive Fireballs shot towards Sicha.


    Sicha didn’t actually possess the ability to fly. The power of levitation granted by his golden circlet was also much less agile than if he was walking on the ground. He waved his golden w and smashed apart a dozen of the explosive fireballs. He quickly retreated and avoided most of the ensuing shockwaves.


    What remained of the impact couldn’t deal any damage to him through his golden leather armor.


    While Sicha was tangling with Greem in the skies, ndre had finally finished preparing arge spell.


    Whirlpool Strangtion!


    An immense amount of water elementium gathered from every direction. It condensed to form several twisting currents that surged around Greem and the wind dragon. The moment the spellpleted, all the flows flooded in towards the center, and all the water merged together.


    The next second, a deafening dragon’s roar rang out from within the sshing whirlpool. The gigantic green dragon, whose body was so concentrated it almost looked solid, broke out of the maelstrom under the protection of a wind barrier. Lava Shields surrounded the me Fiend standing on its back keeping the torrent of water at bay.


    Fire and water shed.


    Choking steam and heat enveloped the me Fiend.


    Amid the mist and steam, the gigantic me humanoid remained wreathed in mes. It threw magma fireballs andunched magma spears at ndre, creating a storm of fire of his own.


    As the chaos went on, one could sense the continuous shockwaves from within. Sicha’s ferocious battle cry could be heard as well.


    Greem seemed to have gone mad. Hepletely ignored Sicha’s attempt to draw him into a melee and enduringly avoided the body-refining adept with the agility and speed of the wind dragon. Instead, he focused most of his attention on the magic duel with ndre.


    The destructive magma fireballs and the rain of water arrows collided in midair. Some of them neutralized and intercepted each other, while others slipped past and wore away at the enemy’s defenses.


    The three adepts circled each other, quickly moving around in the resource site. Everywhere they stopped was ravaged by the coteral damage from spells that had missed their targets.


    Those magical nts that existed as the nightmares and horrors of human society had now be delicate crystal flowers; they shattered into pieces with a single touch.


    Greem tossed a Scarlet Firestorm from above. ndre deftly dodged the attack. The wildfires spread in every direction and devoured the garden and all the magical nts in a zing congration.


    By the time they moved away from this location, thend had been scorched and burned until it cracked. A thickyer of dust piled above the earth.


    On the other hand, ndre’s Blizzard was like a chilling current. It had instantly frozen all the magical nts into white and blue crystalline sculptures. The shockwaves passed by and shattered them all into ice shards.


    The magical nts bound to the gardens by powerful magical arrays gathered together and wailed as if they had foreseen the fate awaiting them ahead. Sadly, this couldn’t save their lives!


    It didn’t matter whether it was a Magma Fireball cutting through the air or an enormous wave. Each of these magical attacks spelled their deaths.


    Of course, there were a few fortunate nts as well. The powerful spells had damaged the defensive arrays and created gaps in the formation that contained them. Thus, many surviving magical nts escaped outwards. Some turned into humanoid forms and crawled outwards with great difficulty. Others dug into the earth and fled through the ground.


    If these terrifying nts made their way to human settlements, they would cause a massacre. However, these three adepts were far too involved in their fights. No one could spare any effort to care about such an ’insignificant’ matter!


    The scales of battle were a little nted, but as a whole, it still maintained a delicate bnce.


    Adept Sicha undoubtedly had the most meleebat power of the three.


    Every one of his attacks was at least one hundred and ten points in power. Moreover, his movements were swift and agile. It would be challenging to get away if he managed to catch up.


    Still, Greem’s me Fiend was the one doling out the most damage.


    Casually dishing out a hundred and thirty points of me damage was something that neither ndre and Sicha could deal with.


    ndre the Water Adept, on the other hand, was vastly inferior to Greem when it came to attack damage. However, he had the advantage of producing attacks that persisted and lingered, as opposed to the explosive destruction of fire spells. Moreover, water spells also had a bit of a slowing effect attached to them. That was why his primary purpose in this battle was to slow Greem down and give Sicha more openings to strike.


    Of course, Greem also had a clear idea of what was happening from his vantage point on the dragon.


    The reason he was engaging in this messy fight was all for the sake of buying time for the chip. It was currently gathering data on the two of them.
