Chapter 114: Chapter 112: Rare-Level

The Fire Elemental Lord that possessed the fire element gradually walked out of the passage…

Its gaze swept around.

Finally, his gaze ceased onto the human lord guarded by the undead troops at the core position.

The trapped lord never imagined it would one day seek the help of those damned humans!!

But 500,000 years was too long… It was too long.

He could not bear it even if he had almost eternal life.

Moreover, the wizard had sealed the lord in a furnace for 500,000 years!

That narrow space made the lord almost go crazy.

Endless loneliness and emptiness constantly gnawed at his heart.

But the seal of this Resplendent Wizard Tower was too dreadsome.

Even if those damned wizards had long fallen, the seal that could automatically absorb magic showed no signs of loosening for hundreds of thousands of years.

The human in front was the first group of outsiders the captured lord had discovered over countless years.

The trapped lord had initially planned to capture, enslave, and force them to fulfill orders.

But the rescuers were much stronger than the trapped lord had imagined.

The trapped lord would have been able to melt them all in an instant without the seal. But that damnable seal had restricted its power to the furnace.

After its anger, the trapped lord was afraid. People would soon leave and the trapped lord imprisoned for another hundred thousand years…

The Fire Elemental Lord missed the lava lair it had built. It missed the fire and heat elemental plane.

This time, no matter what price it had to pay, the trapped lord had to obtain freedom.

‘Freedom!!!!’

No one knew how strong the desire for freedom was for an intelligent life imprisoned for hundreds of thousands of years.

Only when the other party got closer did Richard see the appearance of the fire elementals.

The bodies of these fire elementals were semi-transparent and mysterious substances. Terrifying flames scorched around them. Richard felt his hair raised even though they were more than 20 meters apart.

After the death of these fire elementals, their bodies would rapidly solidify into an ore-like substance.

The core of their bodies contained sturdy magic power.

“Human, you are strong enough.

“I beg you to go to the deepest part of the Arcana Hall. In the warehouse where magic materials are stored, it is where the key to open this seal could be found.”

“As long as you can help me find the key, I will give you a generous reward…”

The voice of the Fire Elemental Lord had a subtle tone. It was the high-level elemental language.

High-level languages had one thing in common — they allowed listeners who did not know this language to understand its meaning.

Richard had seen abyssal and undead blasphemy. And it was no longer rare for high-level languages.

He caught the keywords from the other party’s words.

“In the warehouse where the key stores magic materials? Fire Elemental Lord, your seal can be opened with a key?”

The flames on the Fire Elemental Lord’s body soared.

“Those despicable wizards didn’t take the key with them!”

Richard said in surprise.

“You have so many fire elementals around you, why didn’t you send them?”

“All magic power is forbidden in that area. Fire elementals are elemental lifeforms, so they are also repelled.

“Believe me, I have tried many times more than you can imagine…”

That’s true. If it wasn’t for the fact that there was no other way, with this trapped lord’s hatred towards humans, why would he ask for help from these people?

Richard had an idea and continued.

“Fire Elemental Lord, although I sympathize with your suffering and am willing to help you.

“But we weren’t on friendly terms just now. How can I ensure you won’t hurt me after I get you out of here?”

He had no interest in the matter of the farmer and the snake.

After a moment of silence, the Fire Elemental Lord possessed by the fire elemental spoke again.

This time, its tone was extremely solemn.

“Under the witness of the Elemental God, I swear on my soul after I obtain my freedom, I will not hurt you or your troop. I will also pay you as promised.

“If I violate the oath, my soul will be turned into ashes and will never be reborn.”

Richard was stunned. Just as he was about to open his mouth…

A powerful fluctuation appeared from the fire elemental’s body and directly enveloped him.

Richard suddenly felt exceedingly strange energy that tried to establish a connection with him…

[Ding~ The Fire Elemental Lord, under the witness of the Elemental God, has applied to enter into a contract with you…]

[The contract content was the Fire Elemental Lord’s promise. The breach of contract would directly destroy the Fire Elemental Lord.]

After Richard read the system notification, he was immediately interested. How could there be such a thing?

His mind spun.

“Fire Elemental Lord, I need to know, what reward can I get for helping you?”

The two sides had nothing to talk about it.

The Fire Elemental Lord pondered for a moment and slowly said, “I have learned many human spells over countless years.

“You should know how precious knowledge is. I can teach you three powerful B-rank grade spells…”

As the trapped lord spoke, the flames increased.

“And I can sense the aura of the desert from you… You don’t seem to have changed your level.

“I accidentally obtained a rare level skill that used to be very powerful in this wizard tower — Yellow Sand Mage.”

“This level is extremely compatible with the power in your body… I can instantly help upgrade your level.”

Richard’s heart jumped a beat.

Rare-level? Yellow Sand Mage?

When Richard heard these words, it seemed to be a level tailored for him…

He suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

“No, it’s not enough.”

The Fire Elemental Lord’s voice carried adamant pressure.

“What else do you want?”

“Three A-rank spells, plus 300 fire elemental cores…”

“Impossible! The spells I’m teaching you will require immense soul power. It’s not as simple as you think. Besides, I don’t have any A-rank spells to teach you… I can give you 300 fire elemental cores.”

“500.”

“Deal.”

Richard gestured to Xina beside him.

“Also, I hope you can help my friend break the seal in her body.”

Xina was stunned. She didn’t expect Richard to still remember his promise to her at this moment…

The Fire Elemental Lord turned its attention to Xina after the trapped lord heard that.

The flames on its body fluctuated after the captured lord sensed for a moment.

“No, impossible!! The seal on her body has a power that I can’t touch… That’s an exceedingly horrifying aura!”

Richard was slightly disappointed. The recruitment mission for an A-rank hero was indeed not that simple.

However, he immediately recovered his mood.

“If that’s the case, I’ll use two strategic treasures in exchange for this condition.”

After a moment of silence, the Fire Elemental Lord’s flames gradually dimmed.

“Deal… this is the final condition.”

The final deal… The Fire Elemental Lord used a rare-level, three spells, and 500 1-star treasures — the fire elemental core and two strategic treasures in exchange for Richard’s help.

Richard was in a great mood. The Fire Elemental Lord’s offer had far exceeded his expectations.

Moreover, the place that the Fire Elemental Lord wanted him to go to was the place he wanted to go to in the first place.

It was because the passage to leave the ruins was in the deepest part of it… The Fire Elemental Lord’s mission was practically a gift.

Moreover, the entire mission had no restrictions on him. If he could not complete it, he would not be punished.

Although the Fire Elemental Lord was stalwart, Richard had absolute control over the initiative.

The contract between the two parties concluded when they met the negotiation conditions.

The Fire Elemental Lord, trapped for hundreds of thousands of years, saw the freedom hope.

Although it had exchanged a lot of conditions for this hope, nothing was more important compared to freedom…

The pain of being imprisoned in a small place for countless years was unimaginable to outsiders.

“Now, you can tell me where the key is.”

The flame of the Fire Elemental Lord immediately rose.

“The key to open the seal is stored in the deepest part, which is the core that controls the entire Arcana Hall…

“That is the anti-magic area. No one can use magic there. And there are a lot of magic puppet guards, but with your army, you can eliminate those dangers.

“The core of the Arcana Hall is a fist-size crystal. It’s full of magic power.

“The Arcana Hall will collapse in ten minutes once you remove the crystal. You have to go back immediately.”

The Fire Elemental Lord’s voice was very grave.

The collapse of the building would not destroy the seal of the furnace. On the contrary, it might be buried and lose the chance to be free.

Richard took out the map and gestured to it from a distance.

“Are there any special treasures in these buildings?”

“No. I have sent my descendants to explore the areas for hundreds of thousands of years…”

“When those wizards left, they had already taken most of the things. The rest are with me. After my freedom, I can give them all to you…”

Richard nodded and asked about the details of the ruins. After he made sure there were no mistakes, he stepped on the body of the magic puppet and led the troop into the next passage…

He was very envious of the trapped lord’s reward.

He kept thinking about rare-level—the Yellow Sand Mage.

“This Level-18 Boss is ultimately a super boss!”
