1181 Elemental Fury Part 1 (1/2)
Nailisi was having the time of her life capturing elemental creatures. For someone at her level, if it had not been for such a special environment and possessing weird equipment like the 12 Notes of First Purgatory, it would be impossible for her to capture that many elemental creatures.
While she had initially only been capturing the creatures to feed her magic power furnace, she got increasingly excited about it.
It got to a point that whenever she found herself, there was no elemental creatures spared. Regardless of level or use, every single one of them was chucked into her purgatory of elements.
Nailisi quickly put away her equipment when she heard the loud, terrifying voice. She transformed into her skeleton king form and took a nightmare out of the spirit space.
The nightmare was level nine and it should have evolved into some other form of spirit. For some reason, however, there were no changes with it and it was stuck being a nightmare.
Nailisi leapt onto the nightmare and began running at breakneck speed. Her skeleton king form was not capable of moving quickly, but when she rode a nightmare of such high levels, her running speed was on par with Saleen's flight speed.
Nailisi had no idea if she would be able to make it back to the Magical Element Tower like that, but she knew that the creature that let out that angry roar was not something she could deal with on her own.
Regardless if she was able to make it, she had to run, as standing still and waiting for the creature was not an option.
Nailisi was unnervingly sensitive when gauging levels. The voice had definitely come from a being above level 11. The Imperial City of the Abyss was not like Myers Mainland.
The cap on level limit was weak, and so it was entirely possible for a level 13 creature to show up. In some special places like the Cemetery of Heroes, there were even level 18 ones around.
Saleen was getting materials ready for crafting with his teacher, Jason, when he was alerted.
”Teacher, listen to this!”
Jason was actually aware of the danger earlier than Saleen, but the older man had been more excited. He said to Saleen, ”Let's go and get Nailisi. She's in trouble. It is a fire type element spirit!”
Fire type element spirits were powerful but very well-loved among mages, especially to the likes of Jason, who was versed in fire magic. If they were able to capture one for crafting equipment, their control of fire element would reach unimaginable levels.
When Jason left Sreeger Island, he let go off his possession of a fire type element spirit with a heavy heart for Saleen. He had never expected to find fire type element spirits in the Imperial City of the Abyss, a place with weak fire elemental powers.
Jason knew fire type element spirits very well. Generations of Sreeger Island mages had been thinking of ways of getting their hands on them.
At present, due to possessing a godly item crafted from fire type element spirits, Sreeger Island rivalled the Elemental Hand in terms of powers. The fire element equipment was the most powerful and the most difficult to craft.
Saleen dared not hesitate. While Nailisi was at level ten, it would still be very difficult for her to deal with a fire type element spirit on her own. Even the 12 Notes of First Purgatory would have a lot of trouble keeping a fire type element spirit under control.
In Saleen's mind, Nailisi was like a child who always ended up getting him into trouble. He had only let her out for a couple days and she ended up with such huge trouble in her hands already.
The magic power furnace of the Magical Element Tower ran at full force, tearing through the water. Saleen cast a water element territory, which enabled the speed of the tower to reach a frightening 500 miles per hour.
He resorted to throwing several low level elemental creatures into the magic power furnace. Magic patterns emerged on the magic power furnace.
It was the first time the furnace displayed an all-elemental state. The six major elements were hard at work, providing huge amounts of energy to the mechanical core of the Sky City.
Even so, Saleen felt that they were not going fast enough. He steeled his heart and threw a level nine elemental creature into the large scale magic power furnace. Furious howls emerged from the magic power furnace, as if the furnace itself had turned into a living being.
The speed of the Magical Element Tower was enhanced again, reaching a speed—800 miles per hour—that Saleen dared not even imagine in the past.
If they had actually been flying, Saleen could use special skills to crank up the speed to even more terrifying levels. However, they were in water, and the resistance was over 100 times greater than the air.
Despite going at such high speeds and Nailisi running in the tower's direction at over 300 miles per hour, it would still take them over four hours to meet up. The fire type spirit element was only about 1000 miles away from Nailisi, which made the situation all the more dire.
There was a volcano in the Imperial City of the Abyss, which had been created artificially by ancient humans using magic arrays. A huge lake surrounded the volcano and while the fire-spitting mountain itself had died, it continued to nurture a fire type element spirit within.
It was difficult for even ancient humans to capture fire type spirit elements and that had been their answer: a method to slowly nurture a fire type spirit element that belonged to their plane.
However, the fire type spirit element was still not successfully grown even when humans disappeared from the city. The fire type element spirit had only emerged in the past millennium. The being gained intelligence as soon as it came alive.
