The great prince from the Elemental Plane of Fire!

Lord of the Red Flame Legion! According to the most ancient contract, I will unseal you and return you to freedom, but you must help me defeat the enemy in front of me. "

Erinikas took out the slightly burnt parchment scroll from his arms and recited the mysterious words written in the [Fire Tribe language] on it.

This is a language made up of high-pitched hisses and clicks, and is also the lingua franca of the Elemental Plane of Fire. It is rarely used, so only the most learned mages and elemental druids can understand and even use it.

fortunately!

Zuo Si, who possessed a photographic memory, had long since imprinted the languages ​​of the Fire Tribe, Water Tribe, Earth Tribe, and Wind Tribe in his mind, and he immediately realized what the other party wanted to do.

But this is obviously not a spell, so it cannot cause destruction by absorbing energy.

As the magic seals were opened one after another, the parchment scroll was finally engulfed by a ball of red flames with a bang.

But strangely, the scroll did not burn. Instead, a large number of unique words and symbols used by fire elemental creatures appeared on both sides.

After a while, a low, hoarse sound like burning fire echoed throughout the sewer.

"The contract...is established!"

The next second...

boom!!!!!!!!!!!!

The blinding red flames instantly engulfed everything within a radius of hundreds of meters.

Except for Erinikas himself, the red dragon Wilmes who was completely immune to fire damage, and Zuo Si who had bestowed himself with enough fire protection and energy protection magic, all the creatures shrouded in this crimson flame were destroyed in an instant.

Be it the soil and rock walls or the metal pipes in the sewers, everything melted into boiling liquid, and even the heroic spirits could not escape.

After being severely damaged by the flames, Wilmes took the opportunity to defeat them one by one, and they quickly turned into statues shining with gold, silver and bronze.

What's even more terrifying is that even the fierce fire summoned by Zuo Si through magic spells was directly swallowed up by the red flames and disappeared without even a splash.

However, this strange red flame came and went quickly.

In just a few seconds, it gathered again around Erinikas to form a fire element with a height of about five meters, emitting terrifyingly high temperatures all over its body.

But unlike ordinary fire elements, this elemental prince is obviously much more powerful than those elemental elders, and has a flaming ring on his head that looks like a crown.

"First, there was a bunch of heroes made into magic statues, and then there was a sealed Fire Elemental Prince. Are you going to the City of Brass to steal the treasure house of the Fire Giant Sultan?" Zuo Si asked with interest.

You must know that the Prince of Elements is not an ordinary high-level elemental creature like the Elemental Prince or the Elemental Elder.

Strictly speaking, it belongs to the category of "quasi-divine power" and is at the same level of power as the Demon Lord of the Abyss and the Devil Duke of Baator. It is also called the "Original".

The reason why the Original Ones are classified as "quasi-divine powers" is, on the one hand, because the most powerful among them do have the power to kill the true God, and on the other hand, they can grant divine arts to their believers like gods.

Yes!

You read that right!

The ability to grant divine magic is not exclusive to gods, but anyone who is strong enough can do it.

Precisely because the Fire Elemental Prince is so powerful, the only one who can capture and seal him is probably the Fire Giant Sultan who lives in the Palace of the City of Brass and has strength comparable to that of a powerful god.

If nothing unexpected happens, those previous heroes who clearly had fire elemental and purgatory bloodlines were most likely created by this person.

After all, what the fire giants are most keen on is launching wars to invade thousands of material worlds, and then establishing colonies and countries based on slavery, so they must have no shortage of powerful warriors under their command.

It is entirely reasonable to promote some of these descendants who are high enough in rank and have died heroically to the status of Heroic Spirits.

The only question is how Erinikas obtained these things from the treasure house of the efreet sultan.

theft?

You must know that since the founding of the City of Brass, no thief or robber has ever been able to steal anything from the treasury of the palace engulfed in flames.

Not to mention a priceless treasure, even if a copper coin was missing it would immediately trigger a magic alarm.

Immediately afterwards, the thief will be chased and intercepted by countless fire giant nobles and civilians.

Even if you managed to escape to the material world, you would have to spend the rest of your life hiding.

After all, fire giants are not like demons and devils who lack the ability to teleport to other worlds.

Just the opposite!

They can master the teleportation to other planes at LV5 and can go to any known plane at any time.

Therefore, if you offend demons or devils and hide in some material plane, there is a high probability that you can live a peaceful life.

But if you offend the Fire Giant, it will chase you to the end of the universe without hesitation.

Since the possibility of theft is very low, it can only be that some unknown deal was reached with the fire giant nobles or even the prince himself.

Thinking of this, Zuo Si turned his gaze to the magic-sealing bottles that were soaked in magma without any signs of damage or melting.

Just now he had not noticed anything special about these containers that sealed the fire giants.

But now it seems that neither the materials nor the production process belong to Furen.

Especially the characteristic of being completely immune to fire damage, which can be 100% confirmed to come from the elemental plane of fire.

Erinikas pursed his lips and let out a sneer, then said in a slightly smug tone, “I know that you are the chosen one of both the Goddess of Poison and Disease and the Goddess of Magic.

Moreover, you have a high level of arcane and divine spellcasting.

Even when facing a legendary wizard, he is capable of confronting him head-on.

But this time is different.

Prince Rezelil is an ancient life form that has existed since the birth of the Fire Elemental Plane.

It is even more powerful than most of the Tanar'ri Demon Lords today.

Add myself to the mix and there's no way you'll win.

And I have learned through the wishing spell that you have recently exhausted all the energy in that powerful artifact.

This means that you no longer have the last trump card to turn defeat into victory.

So... I'm sure to win today."

Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! Along with the crisp sound of palms clapping, Zuo Si couldn't help but smile and praise: "No wonder you dare to attack me, it turns out that you have made so many preparations in advance. Especially about using divine power to impact the scepter, few people in the entire west coast of Furen know about it. But there is a small problem, how do you know that I didn't charge the artifact afterwards?"

"Charge the divine weapon? Ha! After all, I have studied the nature of gods, and I know that it would take at least ten years of accumulation from millions of believers to charge a divine weapon like that. You don't have that kind of time, and it's impossible for you to find so many devout believers. Even if the two goddesses are willing to help you, it's not something that can be done in a short time."

As he said this, a smug smile appeared on Erinikas' face.

As the saying goes, the battle between high-level spellcasters is a competition of who knows the other better and who has more intelligence at hand.

Even though Zuo Si had long been blessed with a large number of spells to avoid detection, and also had divine power to block.

But Erinikas cleverly circumvented this point and used the Nine-Ring Wishing Spell to directly confirm the status of the divine power impacting the scepter. He learned that not only had the artifact been used, but the remaining energy had also been consumed in this use.

Just when he was feeling complacent and was about to ask the Fire Prince beside him to take action, he suddenly discovered that a scepter emitting terrifying energy appeared out of thin air in the other party's hand.

It is not difficult to judge from the symbols on the surface of the scepter that are shining with sacred light that this artifact is in a state of being ready to go.

moment!

Erinikas's expression changed...

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I actually finished charging the Divine Power Impact Scepter."

Zuo Si raised the corner of his mouth with a playful expression.

Because no one in the entire continent of Faerun, whether mortals or gods, would have thought that he had found a world that could continuously provide him with the power of faith.

Especially those churches, temples and monasteries with a certain history in America, Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia where the religious atmosphere is relatively strong have accumulated unimaginable huge power of faith.

Not to mention the accumulation of a population of one million over ten years, even if it were to be multiplied tenfold it could be easily handled.

"This is impossible!"

Erinikas couldn't believe what he saw.

As a legendary wizard who had experienced the power of half a scepter at close range, he knew very well how much terrible damage this thing could cause once it was fully charged.

Even the fire elemental relatives around him would probably collapse completely if they couldn't withstand it.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the Rezelil next to you to try it yourself. I guarantee that with just one shot, no matter how old it is, it will disappear from the entire multiverse forever. In fact, I have used it to severely injure the original body of a god and destroyed the incarnation of another powerful god before."

As he spoke, Zuo Si stared at the Prince of Fire Element not far away with malicious eyes.

This powerful divine elemental lifeform apparently felt the power contained in the scepter and immediately began to retreat slowly.

Unlike gods who like to maintain their face and majesty, high-level elemental creatures have simpler and more direct personalities and thinking. If they encounter something that is powerful enough to kill them, they don't mind choosing to surrender or simply run away.

Seeing that the Fire Elemental Prince was a little scared, Erinikas warned him sternly, "Don't be afraid! He doesn't dare to release the full power of the artifact here, otherwise the entire Athkatra will be completely destroyed in one blow, and tens of thousands of people will die as a result."

"Are you sure?"

Rizeril was obviously a little unconvinced.

Because it had used its innate ability to see the red light on Zuo Si's body, which symbolized the evil camp, and the red was turning black, and the black was turning purple.

You have to know that this level of evil can only be achieved by demon lords who have massacred a populous country or even all intelligent creatures in an entire material plane.

But now, it appeared on a strange human being.

"What Erinikas said is correct. I will not use my divine power to attack the scepter here. But it's not because I care about whether Athkatra will be destroyed or the lives of ordinary people living in this city. I just don't need to use it to deal with you for the time being."

As he spoke, Zuo Si put away the divine power that was impacting the scepter and slightly moved his ten flexible fingers.

"You are as arrogant as ever."

A strong sense of fear flashed in Erinikas' eyes, and he suddenly realized that his information about Zuo Si was outdated.

He could feel that during the time he was away, the other party's strength was increasing at an unimaginable speed, and he knew many secrets that he didn't even know about.

Zuo Si responded with a smile: "No, this is not arrogance, but confidence. Because I have more cards than you can imagine!"

"Humph! Then let me see what kind of trump card you have besides the divine weapon!"

Erinikas raised his hand and instantly lifted the magical barrier that enveloped the room.

Teleportation magic and conjuration summoning magic that were previously not working properly can be used again.

Needless to say, he gave up his original plan after witnessing with his own eyes that the Divine Power Impact Scepter had been fully charged.

The reason is very simple.

Since Zuo Si has the trump card of the magic weapon in his hand, he is invincible.

If he was pushed too far, it was unknown whether the Fire Elemental Prince would die or not, but he would definitely be left with nothing, both body and soul.

So I might as well take advantage of this opportunity to test the other party's background.

In the blink of an eye, an endless stream of fire elements emerged from the other side, including high-level elemental life forms like the Fire Element Elder.

However, just as the number of elements emitting scorching flames increased, Zuo Si suddenly raised his hand without warning and activated the spell sequence technique he learned from the Storm Queen Xinbu.

Before Erinikas and the fire elemental could react to what was happening, overwhelming shaping magic gushed out from his fingertips.

Not only that!

Zuo Si also used the archmage's advanced arcane ability - elemental control, to transform the energy attributes of all spells from the original strong acid, lightning, fire and sound waves into ice that could cause double damage to fire elemental creatures.

At the same time, he used another advanced arcane ability - Shape Control, to change the original range of the spell so that it could cover more enemies to the maximum extent.

In an instant, a large number of large-scale damaging spells swept across the entire room, and even extended to the fire elemental world on the other side of the portal.

[Fireball] becomes [Iceball]! [Fire Wall] becomes [Ice Wall]! [Delayed Explosion Fireball] becomes [Delayed Explosion Iceball]! [Chain Lightning] becomes [Chain Ice Chain]! …

Coupled with the overwhelming frost magic such as Ice Cone and Ice Storm, hundreds of fire elemental creatures were almost wiped out in an instant.

Even more terrifying was that the biting ice magic even extinguished the iconic high temperature, magma, and flames of the Fire Elemental Plane, freezing the originally scalding ground into a thick layer of solid ice.

Obviously, ever since he figured out the principles of Xinbu's spell sequence, Zuo Si has secretly built hundreds of spell storage rooms in countless towers in the floating city.

In addition, he is a planeswalker himself and can establish a direct connection with these magic storage chambers through land cards.

Therefore, in terms of "magical firepower advantage", I don't know how many levels higher it is than the original version.

After all, Xinbu had only built three or five magic storage locations for emergency use, and could not be compared with the planeswalkers who had a floating city and thousands of towers.

But if you think that's the end of it, you're wrong.

You should know that Zuo Si has been frantically collecting energy recently in order to upgrade his planeswalker and spark levels.

For this reason, I can't help but want to run to the lower plane to join the bloody battle.

Now there was a legion of fire elements in front of him. If he didn't kill them now, when would he? So he ignored the stunned and shocked Erinikas and used his magic to slaughter the densely packed fire elemental creatures that had been summoned on the other side of the portal.

The Prince of Fire Element, Rezelil, didn't even dare to get close to Zuo Si, for fear that the other party would suddenly change direction and cast all these terrible frost magic on him.

It wasn't sure how long it could hold out under this almost violent attack.

Just like that, under the watchful eyes of Erinikas and Rezelil, Zuo Si plowed all the places within his sight on the other side of the portal, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of ice wherever he passed.

By the time the stored spells were exhausted, Commander Rezelil's Crimson Flame Legion had already suffered a devastating blow. Although it was far from being completely annihilated, more than half of them were definitely killed or wounded.

"You...you lunatic!"

Looking at the large area of ​​the Fire Elemental Plane in front of him that was frozen, Erinikas felt his scalp tingling.

He couldn't believe it even in his dreams that the other party could release thousands of spells in an instant through some unknown method and almost crush the legion summoned by the Prince of Fire Elemental in a crushing manner.

"I told you, I have more cards up my sleeve than you can imagine."

While Zuo Si responded meaningfully, he began to frantically absorb energy from the Fire Elemental Plane and the vitality remaining in the air.

Among them, vitality is directly used to improve physical fitness and various basic attributes, while red mana is converted into universal mana and added to the mage's professional level.

After a short while, the planeswalker's professional level was upgraded from LV10 to LV11.

In addition, the strength, agility and constitution attributes were each increased by four points, while intelligence and perception were increased by two points.

The moment the spark level was raised, Zuo Si suddenly felt his heart twitch violently, and colorful light was released from his entire chest, followed by an intense hunger that could not be described in words filling his brain.

Hungry! So hungry!

energy!

I want more energy! The next second...

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with a terrifying red light, and cast his gaze at the Fire Elemental Prince - Rezelil.

Obviously, only this powerful elemental creature can fill the empty mana pool at the moment.

As a "quasi-divine power" of the same level as the Devil Duke and the Abyss Lord, Rezelil could obviously feel that the young human in front of him had regarded him as "food", and immediately a high-temperature flame of over hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius burst out from his body.

But what was strange was that these flames, which were powerful enough to evaporate a person in an instant, disappeared without a trace when they approached Zuo Si's body.

To be precise, it was sucked away by the terrifying suction force like a black hole.

"More! Give me more!"

Zuo Si had obviously lost his mind at this moment due to his intense hunger and thirst, and was approaching the Prince of Fire Element step by step.

Just when Rezelil realized that something was wrong and wanted to escape through the portal, Zuo Si suddenly rushed forward at lightning speed, opened his arms and completely released the sparks that were about to burst out of his chest, and hit the Prince of Fire Element from behind with a bang at lightning speed.

Then, a scene that Erinikas could not understand at all finally appeared.

It took only less than a second for the spark to form a collapsed point of light in Rezelil's body, which greedily absorbed the energy in his body.

In just the blink of an eye, this ancient life form that was almost born at the same time as the Fire Elemental Plane was drained alive.

In the end, only a small palm-sized crystal that looked like a ruby ​​remained.

The sparks, having eaten and drunk their fill, slowly flew back and re-embedded themselves in Zuo Si's chest.

At this point, the maddening, insane hunger disappeared.

"Damn it! What did I just do?"

Zuo Si raised his right hand and pressed it on his chest, trying to figure out what had happened to him when he lost control just now.

But unfortunately, apart from the remaining hunger and thirst, there were no clues left in the memory.

As for Erinikas, he was completely frightened by the strange and quick death of the Fire Elemental Prince. He had no time to retrieve the bottles that fell to the ground and sealed the fire giants. He immediately wanted to activate the teleportation magic to escape.

As a legendary wizard, no matter how stupid he was, he realized that the young human in front of him was definitely not just the chosen one of the two goddesses, and there must be a shocking secret hidden behind him.

But unfortunately, before the spell was activated, Zuo Si sensed the fluctuation of the magic net, and rushed forward in an instant, and one of his hands fiercely grabbed the other person's fear-filled face.

But Erinikas' attainments in magic were not bad either. He even endured the severe pain caused by his crushed facial bones and managed to stay focused on casting the spell, completing a very advanced teleportation magic. He disappeared without a trace in an instant.

However, although he successfully escaped, the mask sewn on his face to cover his rapidly aging face was left behind.

"Why didn't you just destroy the spell structure? Or use the instant dimensional anchor to prevent the opponent from escaping?" The diary took the initiative to question.

"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't. I feel that my spark seems to have some strange changes after the upgrade." Zuo Si explained with a frown.

"You can't use cards and the abilities of the Mimicry class anymore?"

The diary's tone suddenly became serious and tense.

Zuo Si nodded slightly at first, then shook his head: "It's not that I can't use it at all, it's just that it's not as easy and smooth as before. Maybe... I should check my status through the inheritance."

With that, he summoned the book that was shaped by the spark of the planeswalker and emitted light like a star.

[Name: Zuo Si (Sos)]

[Race: Human]

[Strength: 35]

[Agility: 22]

【Constitution: 37】

[Perception: 25]

[Intelligence: 29]

【Charm: 18】

[Spark Level: 11 (Awakening)]

[Planeswalker——LV11]

[Creator (Mimicry Effect)——LV15]

[Mage/Mystic (Mimicry Effect)——LV6/LV10]

[Wizard (Dumbledore family bloodline)——LV20]

[Archmage (Reward for reading Netheril scrolls)——LV5]

[Priest (Voter Reward)——LV5]

[Special Ability: Spark Connection]

[This ability allows the Planeswalker to connect to another unowned spark when using his own spark power to obtain more powerful spells and power amplification.

Once linked, the maximum mana pool will be increased by the ratio of the second spark's level to your own spark's level.

For example, if your spark level is 10 and the second connection's spark level is 1, the boost is 10%.

If both spark levels are 10, then the improvement is directly doubled.

The same goes for all spell powers, durations, and effects.

The number of group summoned creatures increases accordingly, and the basic attributes of single summoned creatures increase.

But the cost is that all card payment fees will also increase year-on-year.

Please note that spark connection is an irreversible process and once connected, it cannot be separated.

Furthermore, the target of the connection cannot exceed the level of the planeswalker's own spark, otherwise there will be serious consequences.]

[Current number of spark connections: 0]

"Awakening? Spark connection?"

Seeing his current panel status, Zuo Si's face showed deep confusion and puzzlement.

Although judging from the description of the new ability, [Spark Connection] is a powerful ability that can instantly greatly increase or even double one's own strength.

But the problem is that this thing is one-time and irreversible.

This means that the connection should be as high as possible, and the level of the second connecting spark must be known, otherwise there will be huge risks.

The emergence of this ability also made Zuo Si realize that the spark of the planeswalker was more complex and mysterious than he had imagined, and it also brought a series of questions.

For example, will all planeswalker sparks awaken at level 11? Or is this awakening completely random, with a certain probability of obtaining it each time you level up? Where do the abilities gained by awakening sparks come from?

Is each person unique, or do duplicate abilities appear?

Is there a huge gap between the abilities of ancient planeswalkers such as Sorin Markov, Nahiri, Ugin, Nicol Bolas, and the new generation of planeswalkers? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he should find someone who knows the inside story to ask, otherwise it would be easy to get into trouble or go astray.
