Both Adhara and Ugrok are Fire Elentalists.
A sudden change in mana level in the surroundings was detected by them instantly, and the fact that the change revolves around the mana content in the surroundings turning into fire mana makes it even more obvious to them.
It was a phenonon that Adhara experienced for the first ti.
Normally, an area contains a blend of mana in the air, and the environnt will determine the prevalent mana type. For example, near a volcanic terrain, the concentration of fire mana would undeniably surpass the other elental mana.
However, the presence of the Elental was able to disrupt the mana concentration.
Almost as if it was the environnt itself.
Just the presence of the ancient Elental alone was able to turn other elental mana into fire mana which shouldn't be possible. It was supposed to only be viable to the will of nature, but it seems the ancient Elental itself acts as the extension of nature.
Making sure that her senses were not deceiving her, she summoned fire on her hand.
Swoosh!
Albeit she intended to summon a flicker, the fire that ca out was blazing.
'So the Elental truly embodies nature, enhancing the strength of Fire Elentalists in its proximity" Adhara pondered, her gaze quickly returning to the Fire Elental, eyes ablaze with intense focus, staring straight at them.
Levitating above the red lake was the Fire Elental.
It erges as an awe-inspiring, infernal figure with fierce, billowing arms and a searing head. Its incandescent flas swirl and twist in a srizing, relentless maelstrom of unbridled fla power, helping onlookers to easily identify it as a Fire Elental.
Finding that the Fire Elental said no words, Adhara decided to introduce herself.
"Greetings, I am Adhara Alpenore from the Silverstar Pack. I've co by your invitations" She announced loudly. Even though the Fire Elental looked hostile, Adhara believed that when it knew who she was, then it would welco her.
However, she was dead wrong as the Fire Elental blazes even stronger.
Boom!
Swoosh!
Adhara and Ugrok had their eyes widen when a fire shockwave was heading towards them, it hit them like a truck, pushing them back strongly. Even though Adhara had already created a fire barrier to protect them, it was completely futile.
The fire shockwave passes through her barrier like a ghost through a wall.
It didn't make contact, ignoring Adhara's barrier.
Because of this, Adhara and Ugrok could only cross their arms to block the fla.
'I could feel the heat... ' Amidst the predicant, Adhara frowned. 'Even though I am a Fire Elentalist, my body was actually being scorched. It doesn't feel like being scorched by a Fire Elentalist above my realm either, it just feels different'
Sensing this kind of sensation was surreal for her.
Due to reaching the eighth-rank realm, higher-ranked Fire Elentalists were scarce.
She never felt her violet fire was overwheld like this.
Knowing that this would end up badly if she didn't do anything, seeing that Ugrok was also struggling to block the heat of the fire that threatened to burn them to ash, Adhara quickly took out the arrowhead and raised it above her head.
Out of anything, this was the only thing she could do that ca to mind.
Just as expected, when the arrowhead appeared, the shockwave of fire vanished instantly.
After the fire shockwave subsided, Adhara observed the lingering burn marks on her arms and body which were visibly healing. Lowering her hands, she noticed the once hostile air around the Fire Elental had dissipated.
It seems the Fire Elental had just realized that she was telling the truth.
Following that, the Fire Elental hovered to the side of the lake and bent down to touch its surface, summoning a very intricate rune formation that surpassed the sophisticated rune construct of the teleportation formation within Dargena City.
Soon enough, the rune formation turned into a portal to a whole other world.
The Fire Elental then turned to look at Adhara and Ugrok, signaling for them to get in.
Adhara and Ugrok exchanged a aningful glance before striding purposefully toward the portal. As they navigated the floating rocks, they were near the portal and could clearly see what was waiting for them on the other side.
It was an underground fire canyon that seed to be within the crust of the earth.
Despite their hesitance, the two jumped into the portal.
Landing firmly on the ground, the two quickly took a look around and were surprised at what they were seeing right now. Contrary to their expectations, the fiery underground canyon was more than a re space within the crust of the earth.
Signs of civilization could be seen around the place.
Molten rivers of lava flowed in the surroundings, carving through obsidian rock. Amongst the tumultuous magma, surprisingly, there were iridescent pillars at the far front, housing so sort of platform of breathtaking sculpture, their colors shifting in the eerie glow.
Beauty and danger coexisted in a fiery spectacle.
This was the ho of the Elentals, the ho of the Fire Elentals.
The Fire Elental they t before also swirls down before the portal closes once again.
Silently guided by the Fire Elental, Adhara and Ugrok traversed the entire place. Words were left unspoken, and even if the Fire Elental attempted to talk with them, their full attention was irrevocably drawn to the escalating astonishnt the further they delved into this extraordinary place.
Other Fire Elentals could be seen, bathing in lava in peace.
All of them turned their heads to look at Adhara and Ugrok when they passed.
However, what shocked Adhara and Ugrok were in fact their forms.
Unlike the initial encounter with the rough humanoid Fire Elental, the subsequent entities they encountered assud the forms of various animals. Among them were creatures that resembled fiery lions, serpents, and a myriad of other animals.
One has even taken the form of a fish.
Additionally, there were even so that took the shape of a small cute ember of fire.
'Since I am a Fire Elentalist, I could tell that their powers differ. Out of all them that I saw along the way, the strongest one was this Fire Elental who was guiding . I think there was so sort of hierarchy that could be discerned through their forms' Adhara pondered.
Her observation made her assu that the strongest was the rough humanoid form.
Following that was the animal form before the small ember form.
It didn't take long before Adhara and Ugrok ascended the rocky staircase and reached the elevated platform that both had already seen from the distance. At its center lay a dynamic chanical structure, a relic from the ancient past.
A hint at a technology long forgotten.
The Fire Elental gestured for them to stay there before it moved to the side.
Anticipating what was going to happen, the chanical structure at the center ca to life with an unexpected animation. Its intricate layers began a synchronized dance, so moved clockwise while others countered the motion, producing a symphony of chanical sounds.
Only then that a flicker of fire start appearing.
Under both of their eyes, the fire gained mass quickly and exploded into a vortex of fla.
Swoosh!
Keeping their eyes locked onto the spectacle, Adhara and Ugrok managed to sowhat see through the vortex that there was an entity, rising from the chanical structure as if he was waking up from his slumber.
An entity that had a stark difference in form compared to the other Fire Elentals.
This entity looked more humanoid than the others.
Its aura also estimates that this Fire Elental is the strongest out of all.
"A King...?" Adhara muttered out her guess as the vortex slowly grew and rose even higher.
When his eyes were fully opened, the vortex erupted, it splashed into the surroundings and revealed the entity's complete form. A humanoid figure erged—a Fire Elental adorned in deep red skin, equipped with a regal fiery cape and leg armor.
His bare torso showcased an intricate mark, resembling an ancient symbol.
Just the sheer heat from this entity was enough to spark Adhara's fire to life, almost as if her own fire had a mind of its own, wanting to co out to greet the entity of absolute fire before her who was now looking down at her and Ugrok.
"Are you Rex Silverstar...?" the entity asked with a dignified, astral tone.
Upon hearing this, Adhara shook her head, "I am Adhara, the Female Alpha of Rex's pack"
"I was hoping that Rex himself would co" the entity declared again.
However, Adhara disregarded his comnt as nothing and raised the arrowhead, the sigil of Elental once again, "Why have you sent your sigil to us, the Silverstar Pack? I have co here to inquire about your reason"
Obviously, she already had an assumption in mind.
Flunra told her that the Elentals might want to thank Rex for what he did.
"Reach your fire towards ..." the entity replied.
Albeit not expecting this, Adhara did as she was told and reached her violet fire towards him.
It was then that the entity touched the violet fire with his own fire.
Just the exact mont after that, Adhara's eyes widened as her flas were consud by the entity's fire. As it enveloped her, her eyes ignited with a fiery intensity, and the power of the entity infiltrated her mind forcefully.
That happened so fast that Ugrok was too late to react to what the entity did.
"Adhara!"
Ugrok growled in utter surprise before he quickly snapped out of his daze and turned towards the entity, his body burned with red force as an air of hostility shot towards the entity, the fact that the entity attacked Adhara right in front of him was unforgivable.
However, the entity quickly assured him, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't attack her..."
"I'm simply telling her a story, our story" He added.
anwhile, Adhara could feel a massive amount of information being shot into her brain.
She could see nurous flashes of mories that turned out to belong to the entity himself, showcasing what had transpired in the past. Before long, Adhara learned that what Flunra expected was true, he was right once again.
Inside these flashes of the past, Adhara could see a massive war between two factions.
A war between the Demons and the Fire Elentals.
Based on the information that she was injected with, in the past, the Demons were losing the fight against the Angels and were in dire need of more power. So, they turned their attention to the Fire Elentals, possessing the True Fire essence within them.
The Demons relentlessly attack the Fire Elentals, showing no rcy at all.
Hell was unleashed at the Fire Elentals' doorstep.
Its crawlers poured out like a black tide, pulsating with the cruelest malice imaginable, all sought to kill and maim as many Fire Elentals as possible, a grueso sacrifice for the malevolent Demon Origin himself.
A fleeting mont is all it takes for the Fire Elentals to be taken down completely.
Casualties amounted to 90% of their entire population race.
Hundreds of millions fall.
By harnessing the essence of the slain Fire Elentals, the Demon Origin absorbed their power, transforming his Hellfire into the potent True Hellfire. In a symbiotic connection with the subordinate Demons, their power was also transmuted into True Hellfire.
It provided them a decisive advantage in the conflict against the Angels.
None of the other Elentals ca to help as a move from them would cause political issues with other races. Thus, the Fire Elentals were mostly annihilated. Surviving Fire Elentals fleed as far as possible, to preserve their lives.
However, the Demons were all out of rcy and chased after them.
Surprisingly enough, one of the most vicious pursuers sent by the Demon Origin was none other than the faction of Demons that Rex has obliterated, the notorious and fearso Rastrikan Demons.
A faction that was able to kill half of the survival Fire Elentals.
Demon Lord Kirgil savored the essences of the Fire Elentals and erged stronger.
'Once again, Flunra was right. His knowledge and experiences are truly a blessing...' Adhara pondered silently, his usefulness proved Rex's foresight and intuition to be correct once again. It was the right move to turn him.
