Chapter 174: Alchemy Creature
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The woman in red moved extremely quick, rendering the black-robed old man almost unable to react to her attack. The spikes on her hands slashed toward the old man without the slightest hint of hesitation.
As an orthodox Spell Caster, the old man had a weak physique. He could not take even a single hit from the Alchemy Creature.
“Bang!”
The woman in red was not able to land her attack as Merlin struck instinctively. Guardian Monument instantly encompa.s.sed the black-robed old man, and the spikes on her hands stabbed into the Guardian Monument ferociously, causing friction. As a result, the impact let out a series of sharp screeching noises.
“Scram!”
At the same time, Merlin let out a low howl and numerous small fireb.a.l.l.s flew out of his hands. The fireb.a.l.l.s headed straight towards the woman.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
After a few explosions, the impact of the fireb.a.l.l.s sent the woman in red back a few meters. Moreover, she was drowned by the enraged flame.
“Hmm? Hill, I didn’t expect you to know such a capable person! But my darling won’t be defeated that easily.”
Wizard Burton smirked, then the woman, who was covered in flames, bounced up from the ground. The tight leather armor she wore was destroyed by the flame, revealing her well-shaped naked body. They could even see her tall and plump b.r.e.a.s.t.s clearly.
However, even if the woman in a red was naked, she could not arouse a hint of desire from the men. Instead, they felt disgusted.
The upper body of the women was covered with a greenish epidermal layer like scales which enveloped her entire upper body. Merlin’s small fireb.a.l.l.s were blasted onto the layer of scales, thus were not effective at all.
The greenish scales on the woman’s body began to secrete a sort of mucus that instantly quenched the furious flame.
Merlin’s attack had exposed the woman’s’ real appearance. They felt that she was extremely disgusting where a well-shaped and s.e.xy lady had become a terrifying Alchemy Creature.
“Swoos.h.!.+”
Suddenly, the woman howled as if she was a beast. Her figure began to expand and muscles appeared on her body. Even her veins bulged out, appearing extremely horrifying on her delicate face.
With this transformation, the people could see that the woman was powerful beyond imagination. She leaped and headed directly toward Merlin.
“Dark Mist!”
Merlin immediately cast Dark Mist and a large area of mist appeared at once. The mist enveloped the woman but she seemed to be unaffected by it and continued to dash out from the mist frantically.
“Hmm? Dark Mist? Hill, I truly didn’t expect the person you brought with you had constructed Dark Mist successfully! But, no matter how strong Dark Mist is, it won’t have any effect on my darling because she’s just a walking zombie. She’s without conscious and won’t fall into an illusion by nature. Haha!”
Amidst Wizard Burton’s laughter, the woman dashed out of the mist as expected. She released a punch at Merlin. The air let out a faint “buzzing” sound from her punch, demonstrating how powerful this punch really was.
“Guardian Monument!”
Without hesitation, Merlin immediately cast Guardian Monument. The woman’s punch fell on Guardian Monument.
“Boom!”
After a violent shake, a crack appeared on Merlin’s Guardian Monument and his expression immediately changed. Guardian Monument is a strong First-level Defensive spell. The fact that it cracked from the punch of the woman proved how strong she really was.
The Alchemy Creature was as strong as expected so he could not underestimate her!
“Furious Flame!”
Merlin squinted his eyes. At this moment, he had cast his First-level Offensive spell, Furious Flame. At once, a scorching aura manifested itself and a long line of fire directly inundated the woman.
This was the first time Merlin had cast Furious Flame. Its power was several times stronger than Fireball and its high temperature was sufficient to melt an armor. In addition to its exploding ability, the effect of Furious Flame was greatly improved.
Despite the great strength of the spell, Merlin noticed that the woman had once again walked out from the furious flame. The skin on her face was completely burnt, emitting an unbearable stench.
To those present, this scene appeared to be normal. However, the most terrifying of all was that the woman acted as if nothing had happened. The greenish scales on her body began to squirm slowly. Following that, a new layer of skin grew and her charred face had recovered her initial appearance.
Merlin frowned. The woman was, in fact, not a human anymore – she was an Alchemy Creature created by Wizard Burton after spending much energy and time. Her power was exceptional and her recovery was shocking. First-level spells seemed to do no damage to her at all.
Ordinary First-level Spell Casters or even Four-Elemental Spell Casters would be in a disadvantaged position when they faced such an Alchemy Creature. If they could not cause any effective damage to the Alchemy Creature, they had no way out of the situation.
Wizard Burton was simply a Spell Caster with an ordinary talent. However, once he had become an alchemist, he had produced such a terrifying Alchemy Creature. His ability was immediately comparable to those genius Spell Casters.
Although the alchemists were cruel, they were expected to be welcomed by many Spell Casters. This was due to their ability to produce an Alchemy Creature at an advanced speed rather than slowly constructing a spell after overcoming many hurdles like an orthodox Spell Caster. The difference between the two was obvious.
This was the advantage of alchemists!
Of course, if the Spell Caster did not level up, they could not expand their lifespan. However, such weakness was not any disadvantage for the Spell Casters who had not hoped to advance to higher levels; they were after stronger power!
“Thunderbolt Net!”
Since Furious Flame could not damage this Alchemy Creature, Merlin would not force his attacks anymore. Rather, he cast Thunderbolt Net and the thunder blasted on the Alchemy Creature ruthlessly at once.
The effect of thunder was negligible to the Alchemy Creature. The greenish scales on her body squirmed slightly and they blocked the thunder effectively.
However, Merlin did not count on Thunderbolt Net to hurt the woman. He only wished to paralyze her by relying on the paralyzing effect of Thunderbolt Net.
Soon, a large Thunderbolt Net fell directly from the sky and enveloped the woman. Dense thunder was blasted onto her frantically.
Even if she was an Alchemy Creature, she could not take this much of attack. Her body began to stiffen and her speed slowed down. Merlin was elated by this result. This meant that the paralyzing ability of Thunderbolt Net was effective toward the Alchemy Creature.
“Frost!”
Without hesitation, Merlin immediately cast Frost. Moreover, he released multiple casts at once, alternating Frost with Large Frost. After multiple casts, thick crystals had formed around the Alchemy Monster, rendering her frozen in place.
“Swis.h.!.+”
Merlin set his gaze at Wizard Burton. An alchemist’s ability was mostly represented by his Alchemy Creature. Once he had bound the alchemist’s Alchemy Creature, it would be much easier to attack the alchemist.
This was the only weakness of alchemists!
“Dark Mist!”
Merlin’s figure flashed. As Wind Element fluctuated intensely around him, he cast Gale. His speed rose drastically and he approached Wizard Burton. Then, he cast the strengthened version of Dark Mist.
Thick mist encompa.s.sed Wizard Burton at once. With his Second-level Mind Power, Wizard Burton had no way of defending against Dark Mist, hence he soon got caught by the illusion.
“Ka-chak.”
Merlin waved his hands and froze Wizard Burton at the same time. Following that, he dismissed Dark Mist so that Wizard Burton could come back to his senses.
“Bang!”
Although Wizard Burton was frozen, his Alchemy Creature was still breaking away from the ice layers with her immensely powerful strength. She came directly to Wizard Burton and broke the ice crystals that had bound Wizard Burton.
However, Wizard Burton was unhappy as he had lost the match. If Merlin was an enemy, Merlin could have killed him with any spell.
Since he had created the Alchemy Creature, Wizard Burton had lost count of the times when his Alchemy Creature had helped him out of a pinch and escaped.
However, he had lost now. In addition, he lost in the hands of an Entrance-level Spell Caster!
“Furious Flame, Guardian Monument, Thunderbolt Net, Gale, Dark Mist, and Frost! Six-Elemental spells. If I’m not mistaken, you’re a Six-Elemental Spell Caster? Moreover, two of your spells are First-level spells!”
Wizard Burton revealed a bewildered expression. He actually met a Six-Elemental Spell Caster with his own eyes!
In these years, Wizard Burton had seen quite a few Four-Elemental Spell Casters. He had also heard of Five-Elemental Spell Casters but Six-Elemental Spell Casters only existed in ancient texts.
Little did he expect to see a Six-Elemental Spell Caster in his entire life. Most shocking of all was that Merlin had already constructed two First-level spells successfully. This meant that Merlin had overcome the most difficult step, hence he had a high chance to become a Six-Elemental First-level Spell Caster!
“Hehe. It’s not bad losing to a Six-Elemental Spell Caster! Alright, Hill, we haven’t seen each other in so many years. Let’s not fight because of our difference in ideology. Why did you find me in Floating City this time?”
Wizard Burton waved his hands and the woman in a red respectfully retreated into a shadow at the corner of the walls. If one did not look carefully at that place, one could never find her. She was most probably hiding at this place when she dashed out earlier. Even Merlin was taken by surprise.
