Chapter 447 - 312: Clear Division of Labor, Hunting the Legend, Breaking the Seal!_2
"Ying Jie, I’ll hold off the Fire Flame Lord below while you guys quickly take down this Flame Hydra."
"No need, you all gang up on this Legendary BOSS, and I’ll take care of the rest."
Zi Liyuan intercepted Li Fengwen, then waved his magic wand, and the grey-black Space Gate opened behind him. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Huge amounts of death energy spread out from the Space Gate, soon condensing into a cloud of Death Fog within the volcano.
The Spectral Dragon King, Kulong, leading the Spectral Dragon army, flew out from it, with a large group of Wraith Mages seated on their backs.
Only twenty Spectral Dragons came out, as the vast volcanic cavern could not accommodate more.
However, that was not an issue, as there were a total of five hundred Wraith Mages, with twenty-five of them perched on each Spectral Dragon.
"You are responsible for slaying the Flame Hydra, while the Spectral Dragon and Wraith Mage army will hold off the rest of the Fire Flame Lords. I will take charge of activating the power of the seal."
After giving the instruction, Zi Liyuan’s gaze solemnly moved towards the Magma Lake below.
His vast spirit had already spread out, combining the "Elemental Map" and "Death’s Eye" skills, he had detected the location of the seal.
The seal was located fifty meters beneath the surface of the Magma Lake, where there was a molten rock over ten meters wide, completely still and floating in the magma.
Blasts of chilling death energy seeped out of that rock, but were quickly extinguished by the immense power of the fire elementals in the Magma Lake.
The appearance of death energy was usually instantaneously eradicated by the wild fire elemental forces within the magma.
Had it not been for Zi Liyuan extending his spirit since he entered the volcanic cavern and continuously observing changes within the Magma Lake, he wouldn’t have captured this momentary fluctuation.
However, how to destroy the seal was giving him a headache, as the Magma Lake around the seal was filled with immense fire elemental power.
One could say that the establishment of this seal was with the aid of the power of fire elementals, otherwise the seal would have lost its effect long ago, after a thousand years.
Moreover, the eight million spirits imprisoned within frequently assaulted the seal in attempts to escape, which further accelerated the depletion of the seal’s power.
"It’s referred to as a seal, yet it’s actually a Miniature Secret Realm, only that the entrance—a Space Gate—has been sealed."
And this molten rock is specifically placed as a coordinate point for the Space Gate, as well as a medium."
"The fire elemental power in the Magma Lake is what maintains the seal on the Space Gate through it."
"This is also why the eight million confined spirits can’t break through the seal."
The Magma Lake inside Mount Fuji directly connects to the earth’s veins, so the fire elemental energy is ceaseless.
Unless one can cut off the supply of fire elemental power and then instantly break the accumulated energy on the seal, there is no hope of destroying it.
The little devils, if they gather thousands of experts and bring some special equipment and artifacts, could break the seal.
But knowing what kind of sinister entities are imprisoned and that their release would wreak havoc on the entire country, and potentially cause severe damage to the nation’s vitality, they would have to be insane to try to destroy this seal.
Therefore, not only should the seal not be destroyed, but they also need to station troops there routinely to prevent outsiders from attempting to break it."
"First, I need to shatter this piece of molten rock; without it mediating the transfer of fire elemental power to maintain the seal, only then do we need to expend the accumulated energy of the seal."
Lord Zi pondered as he checked the various items in his Spatial Backpack.
To take revenge on the little devils, he had spent millions of Contribution Value this time, exchanging for many valuable items, among which were a considerable number of Fourth Order scrolls.
"Smash the rock, then establish a spatial cage to isolate the fire elemental power?"
He stroked his chin, feeling this plan would not work. A spatial cage located in the Magma Lake would be constantly bombarded by the fire elemental forces and wouldn’t last long.
Zi Liyuan was trying to figure out how to break the seal, while the area above the Magma Lake had become particularly lively at this moment.
Ying Xueji stood atop the head of Kulong, the Spectral Dragon King, her body turned ice blue, resembling a blue elf yet exuding an extreme chill, continuously channeling the power of frost into a dimensional prison.
Inside the dimensional prison, glaciers were densely packed, snowflakes fluttered, and the entire space was blanketed in white, with the only source of heat being the Flame Hydra at the center of the glaciers.
Ying Xueji had used some method to trap this Legendary BOSS within a dimensional prison formed of the extreme chills of glaciers.
Around the Flame Hydra, Zhu Wu, Liu Shengnan, Li Fengwen, the Spider Queen, and Lao Tie formed a pentagon, relentlessly bombarding it with a barrage of attacks.
Not far from the battlefield, atop an ice mountain, Shen Yurou and the Lightspeed Shuttling Spaceship were busily setting up Magic Crystal Cannons, completing the installation of one after another, locking their muzzles in place and beginning to charge, targeting the sole source of fire in the sky.
Meanwhile, the outside world was even more bustling.
The Black Dragon Sister manifested the true form of the Black Dragon King, brawling with the Stone Giant King, or more accurately, Dailisi was single-handedly toying with this Stone Giant Epic BOSS.
There was no choice; even among the epic, there were disparities, and the Giant Dragon race was the genuine apex of the food chain.
Although the Earth Elemental Creatures were elemental beings, they were not inherently high-order life forms. Instead, they evolved incrementally by accumulating elemental energy, rarely producing inherently divine high-order elemental creatures.
No matter how furious the Stone Giant King became, he still ended up getting pummeled by Dailisi.
Were it not for its ability to absorb the power of fire and earth to continually repair damage to its shell, it would probably have long been torn into stone fragments by the Black Dragon King.
Elsewhere, more than twenty Spectral Dragons floated in the air, while a five-hundred-strong Wraith Mage army collaborated to construct various defensive measures.
A five-meter-thick cloud of Death’s Darkness, crafted ingeniously by them, enshrouded the surface of the Magma Lake, vastly concealing the vision of the Fire Lords within the lake and also disrupting their spirit-based perception.
Stripped of visibility and spirit-based target-lock, these Fire Lords were momentarily at a loss.
However, that was merely a momentary disruption; these creatures quickly regrouped and resumed their wildly explosive attacks.
Correct, wildly explosive; what did it matter if they lost visibility and spirit locks.
The cavern inside Mount Fuji, the volcano, was only so large; if they couldn’t find individual targets, then they wouldn’t bother—just go for Area of Effect and be done with it!
Thus, within the entire cavern, flames danced, fireballs careened wildly, and the sounds of explosions were unceasing.
Whether they could kill the enemy didn’t matter; the main objective was one, to hear the bangs.
In the face of such a shamelessly brute-force method, the faces of the Wraith Mages darkened, then they combined their powers to cast a massive barrier of death, ensnaring both the Spectral Dragons and the dimensional prison within it.
And they were far from done, one death-associated protective spell after another, as if unconcerned with energy consumption, was cast, continually reinforcing the barrier of death.
Their summoned task was to help their master delay these Fire Lords, preventing them from coming to the aid of the beset Flame Hydra.
After all, elemental beings of the same type could conduct elemental power to one another. If these Fire Lords were not separated from the Flame Hydra, killing this Legendary BOSS would be tougher than ascending to the heavens!
Who could blame them, they were within the interior of an active volcano, above a vast Magma Lake at the base; the fire element here was overwhelmingly powerful, truly a home field for these fire elemental beings.
Fortunately, Zi Liyuan had full control over a Necro Realm, and inside it was a castle of the undead lord of the Sea of Realms, providing an unending supply of the Power of Death to support the Wraith Mage army.
Otherwise, the mages certainly wouldn’t have had enough to indulge in their frenzied spellcasting.
At this moment, Zi Liyuan wasn’t concerned with the surrounding situation. However, he had already sorted out his plan and approach to breaking the seal.
"Let’s fire a few rounds first!"
Three Magic Crystal Cannons gradually emerged through a spatial gate behind him; the Undead Dwarves had long since completed charging, and now were quickly calibrating the target, then activated the cannons towards a fixed position in the Magma Lake’s lava stone.
Demonic Runes exuded terrifying magic power, and violent surges of magical energy converged at a single point, then three cannonballs roared out.
