Chapter 285: The Pond (2/2)
Kyran can only watch from the back as Adhara desperately tries to shield the both of them, but the fireball is very strong since the fire in it comes from a Fire Elemental.
The embodiment of fire itself.
But her effort successfully buy time for Rex to recover.
Rex looks out from the hole he created on the wall because of the crash, he saw Adhara desperately trying to fend off the fireball as the Fire Elemental inch closer to them.
”Let's end this”, he mumbles as his body makes a cracking sound.
Powerful moonlight energy gathers to his body as Rex slowly turns into his Werewolf form, and after he finished transforming.
Swoosh!
His body disappeared before suddenly he appeared beside the fireball and slash it with the Nechtu sword in his hand.
BOOM!
The fireball exploded after getting slashed by the Nechtu sword.
Adhara and Kyran got blasted into the wall as the fireball exploded, the shockwave and sheer force of the explosion were more powerful than Rex has ever seen.
Even rocks and debris falls from the ceiling as the temple shook.
After the explosion passed, Rex stands up from the ground as the fiery ground prickle his skin.
But the red tattoo on his wrist glows as the prickle feeling from his feet burning lessened greatly, he can endure the fire more now.
Roar!
Without a pause, the Fire Elemental swings its muscular arm downwards.
The muscular arm descends down on Kyran and Adhara who just recover from the explosion, and it's heading at them at high speed.
Seeing this, Rex vanished and appear in front of them.
BAM!!
Rex manages to get there just in time and block the Fire Elemental's arm.
The force that came from the attack greatly shock Rex as he fall to one knee while holding the Fire Elemental's arm with two hands.
CRACK!
'It's still very strong!', Rex thought as he gritted his teeth feeling his arms bones break.
Even in his Werewolf Form, the Fire Elemental's strength is still stronger than him. It even manages to force him in one knee even though he's using his two hands to block it.
Aside from its powerful strength, the Fire Elemental is also heavy.
It put all of its weight into that attack which was able to put Rex on one knee.
”Rex! The pond!”, Adhara suddenly shouted from the back while pointing at the pond.
Hearing this, Rex glance at the pond in confusion.
The pond looks the same as before with its beautiful crystal clear water, the sides of the pond are burned with a fire that came from the Fire Elemental.
But then suddenly, he realizes something, 'The water!'
All of the scorching fire that came from the Fire Elemental should be able to evaporate the pond, but the pond is still intact even with the high temperature and even from the explosion before.
'Let's try it!', Rex thought as his legs veins contracted powerfully.
With all of his might, Rex stands back up while still blocking the Fire Elemental's arm.
Looking at this, the Fire Elemental's expression turns into shock as Rex stands up while holding the strength and weight of itself.
After standing up, Rex pushes the Fire Elemental's arm with all his might.
Rumble!
The Fire Elemental got pushed by Rex, its stumble makes the ground shake as its eyes widened in shock. Its expressionless look brimming with expressions upon seeing Rex manage to push it away.
Rex then takes the Nechtu sword that stabbed the ground beside him.
BLITZ!
The Nechtu sword got filled with Rex's immense black lightning mana that even the golden brown linings glow with black lightning, the sword was strong enough even after Rex poured all of the mana he can gather.
With a smile on his face, Rex turns into a blur and slashes the Fire Elemental's chest.
SLASH!
ROAR!
The Fire Elemental stumble back as it roared in pain, the slash wound on its chest stretches all the way down to its waist.
But Rex didn't stop,
In his Werewolf form, all of his stats got increased by 100%.
Even before he turns into his Werewolf form, the Fire Elemental can't really catch Rex since its agility is very low and now, Rex's speed is akin to a blur.
The Fire Elemental can't follow his movement at all.
SLASH!
SLASH!
Rex slashed the Fire Elemental again and again, 'A little bit more', he thought as he saw the pond is right behind the Fire Elemental.
After the last slash, Rex charged his black lightning into the sword.
His body sparks with black lightning as it travels into the Nechtu sword, his eyes also flash with ferocity as he thrust the Nechtu sword into the Fire Elemental's chest one last time.
STAB!
ROARR!
The Fire Elemental got stabbed cleanly on its chest as it stumbles back.
Splash!
One of its legs dripping with lava went inside the pond before it started to melt, the left leg of the Fire Elemental started to melt under the water as its body fall to the pond.
Roar!!
Water splashes around as the Fire Elemental struggles to get out of the pond.
But no matter how hard he tries, the crystal clear water does its job quickly and started melting the Fire Elemental faster than the Fire Elementa can hope to get out.
The scorching fire around the Fire Elemental body becomes dimmer and dimmer, it has a look of helplessness that somehow manages to make Rex feel bad.
The fiery ground started to reside as the Fire Elemental's body dissipated inside the pond.
Kyran and Adhara approach Rex from the back as the three of them look at the wailing Fire Elemental, and it didn't take long before the Fire Elemental completely disappeared.
The water becomes calm again, there's no sign of any disturbance whatsoever.
<Killed Carabidis Guardian 2/3>
<Killed Carabidis Fire Guardian, Obtained 5,000,000 Exp>
Looking at the system's notification, Rex nodded his head.
The system confirmed that the Fire Elemental has been killed.
After a moment, a red glow suddenly appear in the crystal clear water before a red orb came out of the water and floats on the surface.
Looking at this, ”It's the same one as the Sand Elemental”, Adhara said.
”Maybe if we put this orb on the small pyramid outside just like we did with the Sand Elemental one, something might happen”, Kyran added.
Hearing this, Rex decided to take the red orb but stopped by Adhara.
Rex glance at Adhara in confusion before she said, ”Didn't you see what happened to the Fire Elemental? The water might be dangerous”
Kyran also nodded his head in agreement as he too feel the water is dangerous.
Looking at the two, Rex squats down and dips his hand on the water making Adhara and Kyran's bodies jolt in shock.
But after a moment, nothing happened.
”See? It's nothing”, Rex said before he slowly went inside the pond.
He started to swim towards the red orb under Adhara and Kyran's worried gazes, and when he grabbed the red orb the same scratching sound suddenly can be heard.
This sound makes Rex and the others glance at the right.
Not intending to let them rest, the last entrance on their right suddenly opened.
Rex immediately jumped out of the water and landed beside Adhara and Kyran, ”Get ready, the next one must be the Light Elemental”
