Rumble!
With the appearance of the Prince of Elements, this endless place called the "Abyss of Flame" completely boiled, and a deafening roar came from the sea of ​​​​flame that did not know how deep it was.
Thousand-meter-long giant waves composed of liquid flames carried countless fire elemental creatures, starting a war with local characteristics in a form that mortals could not understand.
If you let an outsider look at it, there is almost no difference between the fire elements. They are just living and burning flames. Their appearance will change anytime and anywhere. It is impossible to distinguish between their camps and the fire they belong to.
Elemental Lord.
But for creatures on the plane of fire, the differences between these legions are very big. The spectrum and heat radiation produced by their own combustion are completely different.
Some of the fire elements were born in places with relatively high temperatures, so the flames are brighter and the damage caused by burning is greater.
There are also places where the birth temperature is relatively low, and when pressed, they appear slightly darker, like crimson embers.
Maybe in the material world, the former can cause more fire attribute damage to the enemy because its flame temperature is relatively high.
However, in the fire elemental plane, since everyone is completely immune to this type of damage, the temperature will not be high enough to cause any difference in combat effectiveness.
They are all trying to directly use their own life core to extinguish the small amount of primitive fire in the other party's life core.
Once successful, the fire element whose original fire has been extinguished will immediately collapse and disintegrate, and its body will be swallowed up by the sea of ​​liquid flames in the Flame Abyss.
According to the version circulated among the efreets in the City of Brass, this is most likely the result of the fire element princes fighting for the throne of the elemental god in ancient times, and eventually a war of unprecedented scale and unknown to mortals broke out.
.
Those liquid flames are made of the corpses of billions of dead fire elements.
Of course, it is unknown whether this legend is true or false.
After all, the Inner Plane was born much earlier than the Material Plane and the Outer Plane, and some of the oldest elemental princes have existed far longer than the gods.
But one thing is certain, that is, the elemental plane is infinite and has no so-called boundaries at all.
The elemental princes observed and recorded by mortals and gods may be just an insignificant fraction of this huge group.
Most of them are silently dormant in their own territories on the elemental plane, and in a way that mortals and even gods cannot understand, they have always ruled their own countries from the moment they were born.
Because he had established a good relationship with a wind elemental prince during the previous war against Cyric, Zuo Si knew a lot of information about the elemental plane from him, and was not as poor in knowledge in this area as other mortals.<
/p>
The number of wind elemental princes known to the former alone is as high as hundreds.
However, the strength of these elemental princes varies. The most powerful ones are comparable to divine powers and gods, while the weakest ones may even be killed by powerful mortal spellcasters.
Mainstream scholars also have an unconfirmed guess that there are as many corresponding elemental princes in the fire elemental plane as there are stars in the universe.
All in all, in theory, because the elemental plane is infinite and has endless energy and matter, the number of elemental princes should also be infinite.
But most of them are not interested in the outside world and never appear in the sight of mortals, so even mages cannot know their names through wishing, let alone summon demons, devils and other strange creatures.
Like other world creatures, it summons its projection to the material world for communication, exchange and research.
Normally, the recorded elemental princes are relatively active and willing to participate in mortal affairs.
For example, the most well-known and often summoned by wizards and druids using legendary magic, the Prince of the Fire Element - Zaman Rul (projection only), and Imix, who is also the Prince of the Fire Element of the evil camp.p>
They all have a considerable number of believers in the material world, and even their own sects.
After all, the Prince of Elements is also a quasi-divine power. As long as a mortal's own perception attributes pass the test, he can obtain three-ring and below-three-ring magical spells from the other party just through faith and worship.
If you successfully summon the projection to your own world, you can level up another level to obtain the fourth-ring magic.
Being able to cast four-ring magic is equivalent to a LV7 and LV8 priest, which is already a very powerful figure in the world of ordinary people.
What's more, the most powerful princes of elements can grant priests the most advanced nine-ring magic like true gods, and they are not like gods who do a lot of shit all day long.
Therefore, in the material world, although there are far fewer mortals who believe in the Prince of Elements than those who believe in gods, they are not that few.
In Faerûn alone, there are at least a dozen sects scattered in the corners of the world.
In Zuo Si's view, compared with those divine churches that have strong purpose and good and evil tendencies, the sects that believe in the Prince of Elements tend to be more indifferent and neutral. They belong to the kind of things where I won't interfere with you, but you don't bother us either.
.
These guys often have unique and weird values ​​​​and world views, and generally do not cause any harm to society.
But once something happens, it must be an earth-shattering event.
But what is certain is that the prince of the fire element who is crawling out from the bottom of the flaming abyss in front of him is definitely not any known one.
Because it is so big, just stretching out an arm can cause terrifying meteors and fire showers within dozens of kilometers, which is equivalent to the effect produced by dozens of legendary magics superimposed together.
Immediately after, when the head, body and legs completely climbed out from the bottom of the abyss, the height was almost the same as the cylindrical mountain peak standing in the center of the sea of ​​​​flames.
The scorching, high-temperature flames that shape the body will even evaporate ordinary fire elements that are not strong enough, and then swallow them into your body.
"It's really a suffocating temperature. Even I, who is immune to such damage, will probably be burned to some extent by such a flame." Zuo Si touched his chin and commented with interest.
Obviously, this unknown fire elemental prince is much more powerful than the "Rizeril" he killed before.
After all, the latter was captured and sealed by the Efreet Sultan for who knows how many years, and his strength has already degraded considerably.
But this person in front of me is different.
It has been sleeping in the abyss of flames for an unknown length of time. At least it has absorbed tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years of elemental power from the endless sea of ​​flames. Perhaps it has completely integrated with this sea of ​​fire, turning it into a subject that can be affected by it.
The "territory" and even the "country" that you control.
Look at the two fire element lords who were still fighting before. They have stopped moving together and are "watching" the prince who suddenly appears vigilantly.
Of course, since they are essentially two huge burning flames, it is impossible for outsiders to see whether they have eyes or not. They can only judge based on their approximate movements and body reactions.
Due to their high enough levels, the two lords were not instantly suppressed by powerful forces like ordinary fire elements. Instead, they seemed to be uniting to deal with powerful enemies.
Not far away, the group of salamanders at the bottom of the ecological chain of the fire elemental plane have been completely frightened.
Their leader obviously did not expect that there would be a terrifying prince sleeping here. At this moment, let alone seizing the pure fire that was about to be conceived, he could not even protect himself.
After all, the reason why salamanders are said to be at the bottom of the ecological chain of the fire elemental plane.
The root cause is that many powerful fire element lords like to conquer and enslave them, using them as cannon fodder in battles with other lords.
Although the resistance of the Salamander has always been very tenacious, and can even be described as resigned to death, with songs and tears, but in the end it is often in vain.
Compared with the endless fire elements, the number of their groups is too small, and even if they expand to millions, it will only be a drop in the bucket.
"Surrender or destroy! The Lord of the Ancient Flame Abyss - Maniel demands that you make a choice immediately."
The Prince of Elements shouted his name through the language of the Fire Tribe, and at the same time issued an ultimatum to all creatures present.
"Lord of the Flame Abyss? How come I have never heard of your name? And there has never been any lord in this area!"
A fire elemental lord asked.
You must know that there are at least eight lords present, including him, who all have their own domain in this sea of ​​flames, and have been fighting with each other for hundreds of thousands of years.
If there really is an elemental prince ruling here, how could he turn a blind eye to it?
The fire elemental prince who called himself Maniel responded in a tone full of contempt: "Pathetic little flame, how long have you been born, and how much do you know about the Abyss of Flame?
When I became the lord of this area, you all ceased to exist.
Feel the power coming from the depths of the Flame Abyss!
The great Manir is the Flame Abyss itself!
And you are just insignificant little flames born from me.
As long as I am willing, I can extinguish the original fire at the core of your life at any time."
As he spoke, the Prince of Elements raised his palm that covered the sky and made a grasping motion.
The next second...
The fire element lord who questioned exploded with a bang, and a black spot suddenly appeared in the center of the flame body. Then the body began to collapse inward with the black spot as the center, and finally turned into a ball of embers and disappeared completely.<
/p>
In other words, for elemental creatures, this means they are completely dead, not even their souls remain.
Live or die!
This kind of authority, which was like extraordinary divine power, immediately caused all the fire element lords present to fall into silence.
To be continued...
