Richard decided that it was worth a try after he pondered.
He would lose nothing regardless of whether he succeeded or not.
If it were successful, it would undoubtedly increase the destructive power of the sandstorm by a few levels.
Imagine it broke 20 level 26 tornadoes that suddenly burst out like gasoline.
!!
The terrifying heat could melt steel in a breath.
However, he had to use the heart of the sun to get to Klose.
There was no hurry.
The gains from the instance dungeon had greatly enriched the city’s strength, and there was not much pressure on the city’s defense.
Richard released his spirit after he collected his thoughts.
Sandstorm once again enveloped it.
He revealed a bit of joy after he carefully sensed it.
Like the land of quicksand, one could set the rules for a sandstorm using one’s will. There were three rules in total.
The sandstorm would flow according to the rules when no one controlled it.
He immediately became spirited.
First, he set the wind speed of the sandstorm to the lowest. Once several enemies entered the core area, he would immediately activate the massive storm.
As for the tornado, one had to cast on its own. One could not set it.
Richard didn’t stay any longer with that simple mindset.
He drove Alves high up in the sky and crossed the sandstorm.
Alves descended to a low altitude of 100 meters after they left the coverage area.
The scene was completely different from the outside.
It was like a sandstorm on the sand that came at him.
It gave people a strong sense of oppression in addition to the exaggerated height of 800 meters.
It was as if it would collapse like a mountain.
Richard nodded, pleased.
Just this appearance alone was enough to make most living beings feel fear.
He let Alves land on the ground. He flipped down from his back after he watched for a moment.
He thought of the heart of the lava that he did not give to the fire elemental lord when he pondered how to use the heart of the sun.
It was a top-notch treasure that could help a fire elemental lord break through to the transcendent realm.
In the instance dungeon, he had promised the lord that once he returned to the primary plane, he would contact it to send the heart of the lava over.
Now that he had some free time, he could ask the boss if he could use fire elementals to guard the sandstorm…
An old monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years could give some gainful advice.
He took out the elemental core that could contact Fire Elemental Lord Klose as he pondered.
His spiritual power spread out and directly triggered the energy inside.
The fire elemental core immediately emitted a scorching light. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a blurry figure in the air.
When the illusionary figure formed, he heard a somewhat muffled voice of joy.
“Lord Richard…”
Richard saw this and smiled.
“Lord Klose, I’m leaving that special plane.”
When the fire elemental lord heard this, its tone became even more delighted.
“Wait a moment. I’ll immediately break open the void…”
The voice fell.
The fire elemental core in his hand exploded with a crack.
It turned into pure energy and surged into the air.
Within a few breaths.
The energy caused countless cracks to appear in the void. It was like a spider wove a giant web.
At this moment. ‘Bang!’
The giant arm that burned with terrifying flames passed through the crack directly. It was like a hammer had smashed a glass.
‘Crack!’
The space exploded.
As the space fragments scattered, a boiling-hot wave of air surged out.
The air became unbearably hot.
Richard’s face didn’t change.
He had the special property of reducing fire elemental damage by 50%. Although he had a few chances to use it, it did not affect his strength.
The second two arms grabbed the unopened space under his gaze.
Then, he forcefully pulled his hands apart to the sides.
His attitude was supremely insulting.
They could hear a cracking sound. It tore the space apart like a bed sheet and revealed a massive void.
A terrifying ten-meter-tall life form covered in flames stepped out of the space crack.
Although the primary plane did not allow powers above the level of gods to descend, there were not many restrictions on life forms below the level of gods.
There would not be too much of a problem if he did not come from hell or the abyss. It was an evil place opposed by the will of the primary plane.
The fire elemental lord was distinctly not within the scope of the primary plane’s rejection.
After a few months, it finally saw this boss again.
But Richard’s mood was different.
The other party was still so powerful that it made people’s hearts tremble.
However, he was no longer like the first time he met him in the ancient ruins, where he had no power to resist.
At this moment, he had three boss units with the same potential as the other party.
There was a damaged level 20 extraordinary hunter in the control ring in his hand.
Even if he were to clash head-on with the other party now, he would still have the strength to fight.
Strength was the uttermost confidence.
“Lord Klose, my friend. It’s a pleasure to see you again.”
The fire elemental lord, who had retracted its brutal power, looked at Richard with eyes brighter than the sun, full of praise.
“Lord Richard, your growth has exceeded my expectations.”
The other party was just an ant that one could easily crush when they first met. Although he had outstanding talent, that was all.
However, in just a few months, he felt a trace of danger from the other party.
It was enough to explain everything, although it was weak.
Richard chuckled.
“Lord Klose, I think this might be a good thing. You need a strong friend more.”
“Well, that’s not bad.”
The fire elemental lord nodded.
Richard was too polite to the elemental lord and took out thousands of hearts of lava.
He controlled the sand and held it in the air.
The fire elemental lord’s body suddenly burned when he looked at the neatly stacked lava hearts.
The surrounding light began to distort.
Violent power seemed to shroud it.
“The heart of lava…”
It was its chance to become a transcendent, a once in a thousand years opportunity!
It took the risk to enter the primary plane to find the heart of lava five hundred thousand years ago.
In the end, it imprisoned the lord for eternity.
The lord would still be locked up in that little furnace if it weren’t for Richard.
At this moment, it satisfied its obsession from hundreds of thousands of years ago. One could imagine the emotions in its heart.
“Lord Klose, this is my promise to you. Now, these treasures belong to you.”
The sand table dragged the heart of lava and flew to the front of the fire elemental lord as soon as Richard finished speaking.
This boss had already reached level 19. The flames on its body suddenly rose and directly enveloped the heart of stone.
Then, the thousands of lava hearts seemed to lose their gravity and gradually spun around the figure.
The lava hearts gradually released a special energy under the burning flame on its surface.
The fire elemental lord was like a thirsty traveler who found an oasis. It immediately devoured the energy.
“I only need a month to break through to transcendent!!”
The fire elemental lord was overjoyed when it felt the change in its power.
It had longed for transcendents for hundreds of thousands of years.
Hundreds of thousands of years, how long was that…
It suppressed the excitement in its heart after a long time.
He looked down at Richard, opened his mouth, and spat out a pure golden flame.
Indescribable holy power filled the flames, and they slowly drifted toward Richard.
“Lord Richard, I planned to use 200,000 fire elemental cores as trade, but after I pondered about it… This treasure might be more suitable for you…”
It stirred Richard’s curiosity.
What kind of treasure could be worth 200,000 fire elemental cores?
Richard opened the attribute panel with some anticipation.
[Flame Source]
[Level: Glorious]
[Property: When the flame source baptizes non-water units, they can strengthen one of their skills, causing it to carry fire element damage.]
[Restrictions: 1. Only glorious tier and above soldiers can withstand the baptism of the flame source.]
[2. Each troop type can only be strengthened once.]
[3. Only 100 units can be strengthened every day.]
[Description: The most source flame of the fire elemental plane has incredible power.]
“Source of flame? A glorious treasure?”
Richard was overjoyed.
It was indeed a treasure worth 200,000 fire elemental cores. The value of this item was immeasurable.
Once one has consumed all, the source flame continuously strengthens them no matter how many elemental cores.
It was like a chicken that could always lay golden eggs.
“Lord Klose, I’m supremely delighted with your gift.”
The fire elemental lord’s excited voice rang out.
“This is a flame that accompanied me when I was born.
“If you encounter a powerful enemy, you can use it to call me at any time.
“My friend, this is proof of our friendship.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a system notification suddenly rang out.
[Ding~ The fire elemental lord’s favorability toward you has increased. Your current relationship with him is–respectful.]
Richard’s smile brightened.
He felt more comfortable.
Not only did he get a glorious item that could continuously strengthen his troops. But he also allowed this top-tier boss, who was about to become transcendent, to become his trump card for summoning battles.
He didn’t lose anything this time.
A special location suddenly appeared in his mind as he pondered–the dungeon that imprisoned the Lord of Darkness under the broken temple.
When he went to look for the refugees, he accidentally triggered a mechanism, which led to the appearance of the dungeon.
At that time, a tentacle dragged Alves underground, and the dragon hero died immediately.
That was also the first time Alves died in battle, and it had to spend tens of thousands of gemstones to resurrect him from the Hero Altar.
Richard could subdue the heroes imprisoned inside if he took down the dungeon. That was unforgettable for Richard.
He could try and let the remarkable fire elemental lord hold the line for him after some time when Twilight City will be strong enough.
It was perfect.
