In the gloomy forest, Gloria softly followed Soran who was carrying Vivian on the back and Aladdin was responsible for nosing the way leading the way. Halfling did not have any complaints about Vivian, an eight-year old girl joining the Adventure Team as he had already seen her extraordinary power that one round of Arcane Missiles could spontaneously kill a few enemies and could be life-saving at critical moment. Even if her Arcane Missiles were used up, Vivian still got nine zero-level spells and a second-level spell, which could also help a lot.

Little Vivian’s swift growth was indeed beyond Soran’s expectation. It was highly likely that Vivian was G.o.d’s successor as she learned memory spells even faster than Soran.

They trekked in the forest for a day and they were close to the position of the element portal at noon on the next day. The portal, left many years ago, was in a secluded valley near Emerald Mountain. On their way to the portal, fewer trees and plants could be seen because oversupply of elements’ energy would affect the growth of plants and too much supply of singular elements would acc.u.mulate to form Territory Effect, excluding other kinds of elements.

The land here seemed dry, surrounded by weathered rock and ancient sculptures.

The sculpture was the Soul of the Earth, an advanced form of earth element, and was the spiritual incarnation of the land. It usually slept deeply under the land. Only with some specific methods, could it be awakened to the land surface. On reaching the valley, they felt rather imposing. Soran held Vivian onto the ground, let her be with Gloria and he vigilantly looked around, with his hand holding machete. Aladdin holding cutlas moved around softly to observe the surroundings.

How powerful was Spell Master on earth?

Gloria’s two spells would explain everything. She immediately incanted and a bunch of spell light showered down on everyone.

——“That’s high-grade Grace!”

High-grade Grace was also called “Graceful Cat”, which could temporarily add 4 points of speed and could be strengthened to 25 points upmost. As a two-ring spell, ordinary Grace belonged to the spell category of singular accelerating capabilities. Gloria’s spell was six-ring spell, which could help to accelerate groups of people and it could sustain twice the time of ordinary ones. With this spell, Soran’s power was immediately strengthened to 24 points of speed while Aladdin’s power was increased to the maximum 25 points. After all, Aladdin was a pure rouge whose professional grade was above 10, so his points of grade would not be lower than him.

——“Accelerating spell!”

When the second spell light showered on them, Soran’s speed instantly doubled. Even his ordinary speed reached four to five seconds per hundred meters, overshadowing Olympic champions. Meanwhile, attacking speed also improved a lot, evidenced by the fact that he could increase one knife waving in a second. The spell was also group-oriented which was based on spell caster’s grade to decide accelerating numbers and spell’s power to decide time.

Gloria stopped after these two spells and set an energy defense for Vivian and her.

Then they needed to do nothing.

Spell Master was indeed incredible. Only when they encountered something unconquerable, spells would be casted to turn the situation over.

Aladdin was quite excited and he stretched his arms to relax before he softly jumped four to five meters away. After landing, he turned around and jumped straight to the cliff as if he was doing acrobatics. He then walked nearly seven steps on the wall and slightly landed on the ground, saying “It’s been a long time since we last worked with wizards. I really missed those days when I was accelerated by your spells.”

Soran was also relaxing to adapt to the speed and swiftness of the accelerated spells. Time was needed to adapt to sudden improvement of swiftness as it was likely to make mistakes during battles. But as experienced rouges, they just need to do a few exercises to help them command the speed of the accelerated spells. The two spells were commonly used to accelerate rouges’ spells, which could dramatically improve their swiftness and explosion.

Gloria slightly nodded and glanced at them “Let’s fight a quick battle. The spells can only sustain half an hour.”

Half an hour was totally enough.

Soran gestured towards Aladdin and then they moved forwards from east and west respectively. Experienced thieves could replace soldiers. With their powers, their capability for frontal fight was not bad. Aladdin suddenly rushed into the valley and darted a hidden weapon casually. Element lives did not have any fatal weaknesses or important organs. Even ghosts could take a fatal shot at them by attacking their spines and soul fire, but element lives could only consume their body energy bit by bit.

These creatures were immune to those with thorns.

Of course that was not absolute immunity. Like the battle with wizard monster, if you could hit the soul fire inside his eyes, you could also break the immunity. But it was extremely difficult. If one wanted to defeat element lives, he should hit exactly at the element core which was usually inside their bodies. This required ultra high-level powers and weapons. With the current outfits of Soran and Aladdin, they couldn’t hit through element lives.

Many supernatural lives could only be hit fatally at a certain point and only fatal blows could lead to explosion of thorns.

This required legendary specialty “observing weakness”.

Rumble!

With a dull rumbling noise, an immense creature appeared, which looked like a human body made of cement and stones in piles. It had a stone head and four limbs, but still its appearance could be seen. Earth element’s weight reached over half a ton. Everywhere it walked would be left with deep footprints. Like a soil s.h.i.+fter, it flattened everything all the way.

Bang!

Soran threw a blade towards it. But the blade was immediately rebounded by its solid rock in front of its chest, leaving a shallow trace.

Unbreakable like that.

It was indeed difficult to tackle element lives as earth element was endowed with a natural element outfit immune to all physical attacks under 10 points.

There was no denying that attacking them was just like hitting stones, but this time the stone was larger and more horrible.

“Earth element【element lives】(fourth-level).”

“Challenging level 9, personal grade 15. Spell power acquired.”

“Twenty-two points of maximum property; ten points of minimum property. Total property value was 90 to 100 points.”

“Unique specialties were element outfits, strong crushes, element lives’ properties and land hurling.”

“Challenging difficulty is level .”

It indeed was much more horrible than snake demons. With a glimpse of a task of challenging difficulty, you can tell indeed how challenging this kind of element life was to tackle. Soran and Aladdin rushed at earth element and avoided its waving arms by a swift twisting. The huge rock arms roared against strong winds. They jumped upwards at the same time and hacked towards the weak part of earth element with their weapons. Earth element’s body was partly made of cement, with limbs made of rocks and joints cement.

Crack!

The machete held by Soran s.h.i.+ned with cold light. Due to its slow response, Soran managed to escape from its attack.

A row of fighting data showed that he had hit the target.

“You successfully hacked earth element, respectively making five, four and three points of physical losses.”

“You successfully infuriated the target.”

Soran felt his hand a little bit numb. Without cement, he had to hack the rock whose rebounding force was rather imposing. It was exactly hitting against stones and there was no feeling of cutting bones and blood. Aladdin also swiftly landed from the side and moved around earth element before he seized the opportunity and suddenly jumped upwards to hack its arm joint. Since their weapons were of good quality, the blades were fine at the moment. But whether the bladed would be fine after the fighting was uncertain.

“Attack its legs’ joints.” Soran said in a low but determined voice. He flew through earth elements’ legs and suddenly hit its knees with his machete where there was soft cement. Supernatural creatures had to observe basic laws to keep human form. Without legs, they couldn’t move.

Crack!

Rows of fire sparks appeared. Soran and Aladdin moved as if they were b.u.t.terflies. Just within one to two minutes, earth element’s legs were hit ten more times. Finally, it reached a transition point. Earth element’s lower limbs were broken. But to Soran’s astonishment, it still could move with its thighs though with lower speed and poorer balance, which kind of achieved their target.

Soran hacked it twelve times and acc.u.mulated losses reached 60 points. Although Aladdin hit earth element more, the losses were fewer. The biological grade of earth element was level 15 and its base life points were at least 150 points. As supernatural element lives, it has an extra life value of around a hundred points. That was to say, its life values were almost 300 points, which were much higher than those of high-level soldiers.

Earth element with less moving abilities was less threatening. Soran and Aladdin hacked crazily at element. After over a hundred hacks, they finally scattered element energy inside its body. Soran gestured at Halfling to stop and he hacked it once to kill earth element.

Although their blades were a little curved, they achieved a lot.

“Hit the target successfully.”

“You made four points of hacking losses to earth element. The target is dead.”

“Extracting soul energies.”

“You got 2550 slaughter EXP.”
