Chapter 574 - Elemental Creatures in Their Domain Have Almost No Weaknesses (1/2)
The gray-robed Mage who had seen an Elemental Lord before looked a little stiff.
Looking at this unbelievably large elemental creature, he felt like he had been transported back to his days as a youthful magic apprentice.
That was also the year his teacher failed a summoning spell experiment and was killed by a wind Elemental Lord that was accidentally summoned.
He was originally a summoning magic apprentice, but because the death of his master caused him to become afraid of summoning creatures, he switched departments to spatial magic.
He chose it because he had heard that spatial Mages had the highest survival rate of all Mages.
Although it was difficult to get started at first, once one stepped into the ranks of an official Mage and learned Teleportation, almost no one could kill them.
Sure enough, after becoming a spatial Mage, his survivability was greatly improved.
The students of the summoning department who were his contemporaries back then had all died, mostly at the hands of uncontrolled summoned beasts.
The only one who was still alive was him, the one who switched departments.
This was not to say that all the people in the summoning department were dead, just that his contemporaries were all dead.
Summoning magic was still quite powerful later down the line.
Although he had now become a Legendary Mage, the fear that had been hidden within him for nearly a century still bubbled up uncontrollably when he saw the Elemental Lord.
“Can we leave first?” This gray-robed Mage looked at the huge ice and snow body that gradually appeared in the thick fog. “I have a bad feeling.”
“Greene, you coward!” Oepmop, who had approached from the side, roared. “We five Legends are here, so what if he turns into an Elemental Lord? Can we still not defeat a little guy?”
As Oepmop said, Legendary Mages were the pinnacle of battle power in the main plane, and only Demigods could overpower them.
In the entire main plane, apart from a certain two angels running around, there was only one resident Demigod, the World Tree.
And because it was a mythical creature, after the angels descended to the main plane, their strength would be suppressed by natural laws and greatly reduced.
Their stats on the surface were only about a little better than a Legend’s.
But in essence, the difference in combat power between the two sides was still very obvious.
For example, several Legends of the Red Magic Tower suffered a great loss under the dark angel Parn.
Angels who were already able to understand the power of natural laws were much better at understanding and using power than Legends, even at equal strength.
In addition to these three mythical creatures, theoretically, Legendary Mages were without rival.
After being shouted at so furiously, the Legendary Mage named Greene finally reacted.
He was already a Legendary Mage, so he shouldn’t be afraid of Elemental Lords anymore.
As he was thinking that, the ice giant Roland had transformed into suddenly moved. He took two sudden steps forward, then leaned forward and slammed his fist down.
The ice elemental that Roland was now transformed into was quite tall, and the distance between two steps was nearly thirty meters. From a distance, it seemed to move slowly, but in reality, it was extremely fast.
The huge ice fist with a diameter of more than a meter slammed down, causing a terrifying sonic boom.
Oepmop’s eyes went wide with fear. Many people were under the impression that the more massive the creature, the more sluggish and clumsy its movements.
In most cases, this was true.
A large body meant an extremely exaggerated weight.
Large creatures wanting to have exaggerated speed and agility must be able to perform in bursts of power while bearing their enormous weight, but without causing damage to its body bearing the weight.
Most flesh and blood creatures couldn’t do this.
But dragons could, and elemental creatures could.
The ice Elemental Lord that Roland transformed into was very tall and looked very bulky.
Its head was a large round ball of ice, its appearance was blurred, and only its eyes, mouth, and nose were slightly distinguishable.
Its body was also round like a snowball, with an uneven surface.
Its legs and hands were also connected by several snowballs of equal number.
It looked round and fat.
This Elemental Lord would be somewhat cute and unintimidating if it was about the same size as a human.
But the deadly fact was, this thing was nearly thirty meters tall, and its body width reached a frightening eight meters or so.
Even the cutest thing at such a size could cause megalophobia.
Similarly, a cat is cute, but when enlarged into a tiger… Humans would only be worthy to feed it food.
So obviously, even if Roland’s transformation into an Elemental Lord was quite hilarious, it could still make people feel extremely scared.
An attack came crashing down on Oepmop, and he was so scared that he immediately activated Magic Shield while teleporting out of the attack range.
The huge, round, icy fist broke the sound barrier as it smashed into the ice.
The thick ice layer trembled, and countless fragments of ice splattered everywhere where the ice fist met the iced ground, landing with tinkling sounds.
Oepmop looked at the terrifying sight from nearby and subconsciously patted his chest.
His magic capacity was now running low, and the Magic Shield probably wouldn’t be able to block such a punch.
But without waiting for him to truly breathe a sigh of relief, the Elemental Lord that was still in a prone and hammered state suddenly raised its head and opened its mouth to let out a sudden roar. A circle of cold currents, visible to the naked eye as if they were small tornadoes, assaulted Oepmop like the howls of a banshee.
It looked like wind, but this whirlwind was made up completely of ice elements.
Oepmop’s Magic Shield was attacked by the extreme cold, emitting a creaking sound, and the outer layer of the shield rapidly frosted over.
The Magic Shield would shatter at any moment.
If Oepmop was taken aback a moment ago, he was now on the verge of being scared out of his wits.
After another teleportation, he moved away from the Elemental Lord and shouted to his companions around him, “Are you all just going to watch? Mess him up.”
The other three laughed, except for a certain gray-robed Legendary Mage who had past trauma.
They had been wanting to laugh at Oepmop for a while now.
“This thing’s magic power fluctuation is messy,” the Mage flying in midair said. “Obviously that boy can’t harness such strong elemental power, he’s already out of control. He’s probably already unconscious from the rampant mental power.”
As he spoke, the Elemental Lord heard the sound and turned back to stretch out his huge palm to grab overhead.
However, the Mage only lightly flew upward a dozen meters and dodged it.
The Elemental Lord opened its mouth again, and an extremely cold whirlwind spewed into the air at the gray-robed Mage as it roared.
The gray-robed Mage did not move a muscle.
The frost condensed on the Magic Shield with the same creaking sound.
But the Mage was unmoved, not at all anxious.
He was not out of mana, and this extreme cold attack alone did not affect him.
“You guys help out and control it.” The Mage in midair condensed two fireballs with both hands once again. “Wait for me to blow its shell off and rip that kid out.”
The three Legendary Mages next to him struck at the same time, and three long spatial rifts instantly cut off the Elemental Lord’s legs, as well as an arm.
The Elemental Lord’s massive body collapsed, slumping to the ground with a roar of resignation and fury.
Then two blue fireballs with a diameter of more than a meter hit at the same time.
