Chapter 126 Chapter 125-Fire Elemental Sprite, Adam's Puppetry（2nd update, Cheer me with Power Stones!）
The scorching lava quietly flowed in the crevice.
The soft ground under their feet gave everyone a sense of impending danger, as if it could be melted by the high temperatures at any moment.
Emma gently tugged at John's clothes, "Johnny, let's move away from this crevice. It feels like we could fall in at any moment."
John smiled faintly and reassured her, "Don't worry. Everything here is solidified by natural laws, unchanged throughout the ages. As long as you don't deliberately jump in, there won't be any ground collapses."
John bent over and peered into the crevice.
A wave of intense heat met his face, but it didn't seem to affect him at all, he didn't even break a sweat.
The others didn't know what John was waiting for by the lava-filled crevice.
They didn't dare do what John did and stick their heads above it.
After all, John could ignore the rising waves of heat, but they couldn't.
If a heat wave were to suddenly surge up, they'd probably be burnt to ashes on the spot.
Therefore, Adam and the others kept their distance, patiently waiting.
John's brow furrowed, he had clearly felt some movements beneath the lava just now, but why had everything suddenly become quiet?
Just as he was about to activate the Eye of Artemis, something unexpected happened.
The once quietly flowing lava started to churn and whirl without warning, like a fiery red river with a vortex.
The disturbance got more intense and the vortex more pronounced.
Suddenly, John turned around and pulled Emma, who was closely following him, into his arms.
Without any visible effort, he suddenly drifted backward.
Almost at the same moment John retreated, there was a "bang" from the crevice as a fountain of lava erupted, soaring tens of meters high.
When the lava fell, it left behind several fireballs hovering above the crevice, gently bouncing.
John, holding Emma in his arms, looked up and couldn't help but laugh.
So, it was these little things playing tricks beneath the lava.
He casually threw out a Detection spell.
[Fire Elemental Sprite (Elite Mob): Fire elemental creature, found primarily in areas rich in fire elements. Low intelligence, hot-tempered, occasionally attacks players passing through its territory!...]
[Level: 120]
[Attributes: ...]
John raised an eyebrow.
So, it was this sort of creature.
The so-called Fire Elemental Sprite had no relation to the Elf race at all.
This thing couldn't even be considered a living creature, it was a life form made of fire elements.
Staring at the few fiery balls joyfully jumping above the crevice, John suddenly felt playful.
He stretched out a hand and flicked a finger.
A streak of faint light, fast as lightning, shot straight towards one of the fireballs.
"Bang!"
The fireball instantly extinguished, leaving behind only a wisp of smoke at its original location.
It was as if they had stirred up a hornet's nest.
The other bouncing fireballs emitted a sharp scream, then merged together in mid-air, finally transforming into a giant humanoid flame.
So, this was their attack form.
John sighed, the forms of elemental creatures were indeed ever-changing.
He casually cast an invisibility status on himself and Emma in his arms.
Then, he turned his head to look at Adam and Blue Sea, who were stupefied not far away.
John grinned, his white teeth shining, "Brother Adam, Brother Blue Sea, I've drawn the monster's aggro for you, now it's your turn."
Adam and Blue Sea exchanged glances.
It seemed that a high temperature could indeed cause one to lose their senses.
Even someone as steady as Brother Galewind would reveal such a mischievous side.
Watching the humanoid flame monster charging towards them, Adam laughed heartily and said confidently, "No problem at all. No need to bother Brother Galewind with such a small fry, we'll handle it."
Then, Adam turned his head to look at Valus, the water mage who had been casting Mist Magic all along. "Valus, can you keep fighting?"
At the guild leader's question, the water mage Valus immediately perked up.
Although he was pale and almost drained of mental energy at the moment, if the guild leader needed him to continue fighting, he surely could.
Valus gritted his teeth and pulled a light blue potion from his bag.
This was a top-notch recovery potion that he had bought at a high price, and it was his only one.
Without a second thought, Valus downed it.
His face instantly regained its color, and his mental energy surged back.
Within a few seconds, he was back at his peak condition.
"Guild leader, just give the word. I'm ready to cast at any moment."
The slim figure of Valus leaped from the crowd, raising his staff high.
Adam couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, calm down. I know you're ready to fight. You've even drank your 'Miracle of Life,' there's no way you'd chicken out now. But why are you holding your staff so high? Are you planning to go melee with it?"
Valus sheepishly lowered his staff, while everyone else couldn't help but chuckle.
Adam looked forward and waved his right hand.
A shield glowing with Holy Light suddenly appeared on his forearm.
His face mask fell down and he raised his silver greatsword.
His armor started to glow.
Adam's voice, muffled by his mask, said, "Everyone else, stand by. Valus, this time I'll be your frontline. Let me see how you've improved recently."
Valus was shaking with excitement, his eyes full of anticipation.
Good heavens, the guild leader himself was going to be his frontline tank.
What an honor that was.
Seeing the Fire Elemental Sprite drawing closer, Valus quickly raised his staff and began to chant his spells.
Adam raised his Holy Light shield and strode forward, taking the hit head-on.
A sharp shriek echoed, and before the Fire Elemental Sprite had even arrived, a giant snake made of flame shot out, heavily hitting Adam's Holy Light shield.
The scorching heat turned Adam's handsome face red, but thankfully, the Holy Light on him blocked the burning damage from the flame snake.
Adam didn't even take a step back, only slightly shaken, then he sturdily held his ground.
But this was only the first wave of attacks from the Fire Elemental Sprite.
A level 120 elite monster certainly had more up its sleeve, everyone knew this.
So, Adam remained on guard, the others kept their eyes glued to the battlefield, and Valus continued to chant his most powerful spells at the fastest pace.
Only John, who looked somewhat listless, let out a yawn... Oh, and that guy Blue Sea, too.
Blue Sea, while maintaining a misty aura around the team to control the temperature, approached John and chuckled, "Adam, that guy, never misses an opportunity to win hearts, does he?"
John gave him a sideways glance, "Why? Envious?"
Blue Sea gently shook his head, "Not envious per se, but I finally understand why Adam's Genesis Guild is so united. A guild leader who volunteers to take the frontline for his subordinates, he certainly has a knack for leadership."
John looked at the battlefield and casually said, "You and Adam are different. There's no need to mimic his style. Just be yourself."
Blue Sea let out a hearty laugh, "Don't worry, Galewind brother. You underestimate me, Blue Sea. I won't be learning from Adam. My own charisma won't fall too far behind."
John nodded in response, but heard Blue Sea mutter under his breath as he walked away, "Damn, a paladin already plays the role of the frontline, what's with this show of gallantry?"
John couldn't help but chuckle at his comment.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, the end was near.
After successfully resisting the Fire Elemental Sprite's three waves of magical attacks, Adam still stood firm and unyielding.
Apart from his Holy Light being slightly dimmed, he had no signs of injury.
The moment he heard Valus complete the incantation behind him, Adam, with his back to the group, immediately withdrew.
He was enveloped in a sphere of Holy Light and in an instant, dashed several hundred yards to the flank.
[Divine Vanguard exclusive skill: Holy Charge]
Even without summoning his mount, he was able to execute this skill.
Almost at the same moment Adam left the battlefield, a dark cloud appeared above the Fire Elemental Sprite.
Valus, with a serious face, pointed his staff.
[Water Dragon Bullet...]
[Ice Arrow...]
[Tsunami...]
He had released three spells at once, depleting all the water elements within thousands of yards in an instant, all targeting the Fire Elemental Sprite.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion sounded as the water-based spells collided with the fire element of the sprite, akin to Mars colliding with Earth, causing a massive release of energy.
The battlefield was enveloped in a mist.
After a long while, the mist dissipated. There was nothing left on the spot where the Fire Elemental Sprite had been, it had obviously returned to its base fire elements.
"Ha-ha-ha, nicely done!"
Adam clapped a hand on Valus, who was swaying on his feet, almost knocking him over.
Adam quickly caught Valus, and with a flip of his right hand, produced several potions and pushed them into Valus' grasp. "I know you're out of potions. I have a few left here, all for you."
Just from the faint glow of the potions, one could tell they were of great value.
Valus looked at Adam, his voice choked with emotion, "Thank you, guild leader..."
The rest of the group wore expressions of envy.
Everyone in the guild knew that there was no ordinary item in Adam's backpack, and he was also extremely generous.
If they had known, they would have volunteered themselves.
Regret was etched on everyone's faces.
