Chapter 573, Section 572: The Blessing of the Blazing Fire
The Pink Puji has achieved great merit and is a threat to the emperor, and he also commands a large army. He must be suppressed immediately!
Lin Jun's fear wasn't about this thing, of course; she knew very well what pink poop was.
What terrified Lin Jun was that the "Favor of the Elemental Spirits" seemed to have a bit of a rule-based aspect to it!
Even a being of the level of a fire elemental lord could only withstand that for a short while.
Lin Jun had never thought of this before when Inanna commanded those storm elementals or even got close to the frost elemental lord.
Since those elemental spirits didn't seem to be very intelligent, it was understandable that they would show goodwill towards Inanna after gaining her favor through some means.
But this fire elemental lord is clearly different.
Although it does not have a true soul, it at least possesses complete wisdom, like the Yellow Book.
This intelligent being, which was resisting an attack one second, became completely docile the next, as if it had been mentally controlled.
From the perspective of "inspiration," its core is even directly tinged with pink.
Lin Jun felt that this ability should not be called "the favor of elemental spirits," but rather "brainwashing elemental spirits."
Since there is one rule-based ability, there could be many more.
This time it's controlling elemental spirits, what if next time it's someone controlling Puji and Mushrooms?
Will I be unable to resist falling victim to this?
Faced with this possibility, Lin Jun found it very difficult to feel at ease.
Another point is about the bloodline of Pink Puji.
Unfortunately, Puji doesn't have the ability to analyze the components of a single vial of blood, so she can only try to subtly probe Feixi later.
Of course, it's definitely a good thing that Pinkpuji has successfully controlled the Fire Elemental Lord.
Hmm... I guess it's under control now...
The fire elemental lord, who had just unleashed a volcanic wave threatening to incinerate everyone, now had half his body submerged beneath the churning lake, striving to minimize his immense presence.
It cautiously approached the shore inch by inch, pausing after each small step to observe Inanna's reaction.
Seeing that the being that had captivated it showed no discomfort or fear, it dared to continue forward.
His posture was so cautious it was almost humble, as if he were afraid that the flames burning around him would scorch Inanna.
In fact, at this distance, most dwarf warriors could no longer withstand the heat. The terrifyingly high temperature scorched the air, making even breathing painful, forcing them to retreat, panting heavily.
Bardot was in a similar state, sweating profusely. The sweat vaporized instantly as soon as it seeped out of his skin, rising in wisps of white smoke from his body.
But he remained firmly rooted to the spot, his warhammer gripped tightly, ready for any possible sudden attack.
Inanna, on the other hand, didn't seem to be very hot.
This composure clearly pleased the fire elemental lord, which tentatively moved closer, now less than ten meters from the shore.
The fire elemental lord slowly raised a giant hand made of condensed flames, from which a small ball of pure, yet harmless, crimson fire separated and gently floated toward Inanna.
It wanted to bestow a blessing upon her, so that she might be spared the flames.
However, just as the warm flame was about to touch Inanna, a crystal-clear gown made of ice crystals appeared around Inanna!
Frost patterns flowed, and a chill permeated the air.
【Blessing of Frost】
Clearly, Inanna's ability to withstand the heat was not due to her own resistance.
Faced with a force completely opposite to itself, the Ice Crystal Dress unleashed its terrifying energy without hesitation.
The cold wave not only extinguished the fireball, but also created a ring of ice in the scorching, molten space!
"Cough!" Bardo groaned, half of his body covered in frost, and he struggled to break free of the ice crystals.
If it weren't for his overwhelming strength, he might have accomplished the unprecedented feat of freezing to death by the lava lake.
Without the blessing, the Fire Elemental Lord fell into a brief silence.
immediately,
"Who? Who is it? How dare they... how dare they get ahead of me...!!!"
Confusion, disbelief, and anger!
"Unforgivable!"
More power was actively drawn from its body, transforming into an even more surging, scorching torrent that rushed relentlessly towards Inanna.
"Wait...wait, calm down!" Inanna urged.
But the fire elemental lord just kept roaring "Unforgivable" without stopping.
The ice crystal dress once again took the initiative to counterattack, and the cold wind and heat wave collided fiercely, actually keeping the raging fire power out for a moment.
However, in this lava lake environment, frost is ultimately a rootless floating plant. The area of resistance is compressed inch by inch, and the ice crystals begin to melt.
In the end, the gorgeous clothes turned into a puddle of water, which was then evaporated by the terrifying heat and disappeared without a trace with a hiss.
Meanwhile, Inanna donned a robe woven from flames, which rose up briefly before its radiance subsided and quietly disappeared.
【Blessing of the Blazing Fire】 has replaced 【Blessing of the Frost】.
Lin Jun never expected to witness a scene where a mistress forcefully takes over her position.
Furthermore, it must be said that apart from the special effects, this flame robe has no distinctive design features whatsoever, unlike the ice crystal dress which has decorative patterns.
Clearly, the Fire Elemental Lord is not on the same level as the Frost Elemental Lord in terms of aesthetics.
The knight reached out his tentacles and tried to touch Inanna in her current state.
The blessing effect is similar to that of the Ice Crystal Dress; when it doesn't pose a threat to Inanna, it just makes people feel warm.
With the blessing added, the fire elemental lord, whose will had been altered, finally touched Inanna.
Bardor was fortunate enough to witness up close the scene of a human hand-shaping the head of a fire elemental lord...
Bardot, whose armor was burning hot and whose skin was stinging from the intense heat, endured the discomfort, and a bizarre thought popped into his head: perhaps... he could try touching it himself?
"roll--!!!"
If Inanna hadn't intervened in time, Bardot, who had just started to move, would have been struck by the fire elemental lord's palm.
In the end, he could only retreat further away, cursing and swearing.
Activating the Ring of Imprisonment was easy; Pinky made her move, and the Fire Elemental Lord didn't offer any resistance.
Before Inanna, the fire elemental lord was so docile that he offered no resistance.
However, Inanna did not follow the instructions provided by the dwarves completely. Instead, she took into account the suggestions made by the fire elemental lord himself and made a few minor adjustments to the activated rune sequence.
In other circumstances, Lin Jun would have at least stepped in to warn Inanna to be careful of being tricked by the other party.
However, since the Fire Elemental Lord's will had been altered, it was impossible for him to harm Inanna.
As the adjusted runes lit up one by one, the massive ring on the Fire Elemental Lord's chest began to slowly rotate, emitting a low hum. The raging flames surrounding it, along with its enormous body, were continuously drawn into the ring.
Unlike previous instances where the dwarves activated the seal, this imprisonment ring grew smaller and smaller until it finally shrank to the size of a ring and landed in Inanna's palm.
The Sword Saint looked at this outrageous scene and scratched his mushroom hat.
He couldn't help but wonder how much better his chances of winning would have been if Inanna had subdued the fire elemental lord during the Three Mountains City battle.
What incredible luck that guy Alama had to give birth to a child with such a gift?
With the fire elemental lord gone and the high temperature dropping slightly, the dwarves dared to gather around again.
They stared at the ring-sized circle in Inanna's hand, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
Of course, there was also joy, as it meant that the Molten Core dungeon was finally about to be reclaimed!
However, as everyone was preparing to return, Inanna suddenly bumped into an invisible wall!
More accurately, the Ring of Imprisonment in her hand was blocked by an invisible wall.
Guardians are prohibited from leaving the core area.
