Chapter 301: Acquiring a Legendary Enforcer

Chapter 301 Reaping a Legendary Enforcer

Li Wei was dropped into a rocky nest by the Fire Bird Garuda.

And vanished without a trace.

After what had just transpired, Li Wei knew the Fire Bird Garuda was absolutely a monster above the seventh tier.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to suppress him until he had no strength left to resist.

Li Wei had once clashed head-on with Tir, the avatar of an evil god at the peak of the fifth tier.

Tir, empowered by the power of the evil god.

Although his level was only peak fifth tier, even a sixth-tier powerhouse could do nothing about his strength.

Only after the evil god's power was severed did everyone find an opportunity to kill him.

Even then, Tir had not given Li Wei such a sense of helplessness.

Powerful to such an extent, the Fire Bird Garuda was undoubtedly a legendary creature.

Thinking of this, Li Wei found it laughable that he had once wanted to deal with a legendary lich.

A legendary lich who had lived for a thousand years was far more terrifying than a legendary creature.

Li Wei waited a while, finding that the Fire Bird Garuda had left and never returned.

He hurriedly looked for an opportunity to escape.

Taking flight, he discovered the surroundings were a sea of fire.

Endless in every direction.

Only the rocky nest beneath his feet was a place of safety.

The temperature of the fire sea, Li Wei had already felt when he came here just now.

Even wearing invisible armor, walking into the fire sea would not last long.

The Fire Bird Garuda flew slower than Li Wei.

If Li Wei flew at full speed, perhaps he could fly out of the fire sea.

But he did not know which way to fly.

Flying in the wrong direction and straying deep into the fire sea meant only a dead end.

Li Wei stood at the edge of the rocky nest, helpless in his heart.

If there was no way to escape.

Then he could only think of a way to survive until nine days later.

Nine days later, he would be forcibly pulled back by the cross-dimensional teleportation array of the Element Tower.

As long as he was still in the Fire Elemental Plane, he could return.

Rustle rustle!

Li Wei heard footsteps coming from behind.

He turned around to see a Fire Elemental Elder draped in a mage robe appearing before him.

"Human, you carry a familiar aura upon you."

Hearing this, Li Wei's expression shifted.

He hurriedly asked, "Do you know the mages of the Element Tower?"

Hearing this, the Fire Elemental Elder showed a look of reminiscence.

"So you are a mage from the Element Tower."

He revealed a slight smile, "I indeed know many mages from the Element Tower, but that aura on you does not come from an Element Tower mage."

"It is an aura etched deeply into my bones."

Hatred appeared in the Fire Elemental Elder's eyes.

Li Wei felt something was not quite right.

This was not meeting an acquaintance, but meeting an enemy!

Li Wei hurriedly disclaimed any connection, explaining, "Don't misunderstand, I have no relation to the person you know, I am just an ordinary little mage of the Element Tower.

I have never contacted anyone from the Fire Elemental Plane before, nor have I harmed any Fire Elemental elves of the Fire Elemental Plane."

He played it safe.

The Fire Elemental Elder chuckled.

"Rest assured, I will not do anything to you, after all, you are a human brought back by a holy beast."

Seeing this, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Um, who is your enemy? I will definitely avoid contacting him after I return."

Nearly having someone seek revenge, naturally one must ask clearly.

Li Wei guessed it was probably some familiar Archmage.

Others did not have the chance to make enemies with the Fire Elemental Elder.

The Archmages he knew were not many.

They could be counted on one hand.

Torresta, Haros, Zogvalen, Fionlides... Shawn barely counts as one.

As for Shawn, the possibility was not high.

He was not a true mage, so he might not have had the chance to contact the Fire Elemental Elder.

Who could make an enemy of a Fire Elemental Elder of the Fire Elemental Plane? The Fire Elemental Elder lifted his mage robe, revealing the hollow chest inside, his heart had been dug out.

Li Wei watched with some shock.

That was because he was a Fire Elemental Elder.

A half-elementalized, half-fleshed creature.

Even losing his heart, he could still survive relying on the ability of elementization.

Otherwise, a normal creature having its heart dug out would have died years ago.

The Fire Elemental Elder said, "Seven hundred years ago, he broke into the Fire Elemental Plane and personally dug out my heart."

"Seven hundred years have passed, even a legendary mage would have long since died."

"Why does your body carry his aura?"

The Fire Elemental Elder was also somewhat confused.

Seven hundred years have passed, a legendary mage should be thoroughly dead.

Where did that familiar aura on Li Wei come from?

Hearing the Fire Elemental Elder's confession, Li Wei's heart trembled violently.

This damn situation is truly cursed!

The Fire Elder's nemesis turned out to be a Legendary Lich.

Hearing him recount events from seven hundred years past, the foe was once a legendary mage.

Levi immediately thought of the Legendary Lich.

Aside from him, Levi had never encountered another mage of legendary rank.

Levi gazed at the Fire Elder, daring not to say that man still lived.

Not only alive, but seemingly thriving quite well.

Seven centuries passed, yet he did not perish, his strength having grown immensely.

Recently he was seeking a way to regain humanity.

Levi had no intention of revealing this.

Yet, the Fire Elder keenly sensed the shift in Levi's expression.

He fixed his gaze on Levi, two burning flames of hatred within his eye sockets.

"Do you know him?"

Seeing this, Levi realized he could not deceive the Fire Elder.

He had no choice but to speak of the Legendary Lich.

Hearing this, the Fire Elder spat with venom: "Excellent! He lives still, I have a chance to exact revenge with my own hands!"

Levi muttered inwardly.

That fellow is a centuries-old Legendary Lich, what weapon will you wield to fight?

Shall you strike his hand with your face?

After a moment, the Fire Elder's mood settled.

He stared at Levi, stating: "I require you to help me find him."

Levi hesitated: "That is beyond me too, the aura upon me was merely accidentally acquired."

The Fire Elder spoke calmly: "You need do nothing, he will surely seek you again, then simply summon me forth."

With that, the Fire Elder handed a rune stone to Levi.

"This rune stone may summon me three times."

"I can aid you against two foes, but the final time I must behold him."

The Fire Elder did not mention the consequences.

But Levi understood, everything came with a price.

Levi reluctantly accepted the rune stone.

He asked: "He is already a Legendary Lich, what can you do upon meeting him? You still cannot defeat him."

The Fire Elder replied: "Indeed, I cannot defeat him."

"After he took my heart, I lost the chance to breakthrough to legend."

"But I possess power rivaling a legend—the divine strength granted by the Flame Dominator!"

Levi's heart leaped.

Damn, this is legendary-tier combat power!

My apologies, my apologies, great one!

Instantly, he felt the rune stone was worth its weight in gold, exceedingly precious.

This was an opportunity to command two interventions of legendary power.

Essentially it could resolve the vast majority of troubles one might encounter in the world.

Levi's expression shifted, saying: "Um, I am trapped here and cannot exit."

"If I cannot exit, I cannot assist you."

The Fire Elder spread his hands, indicating helplessness.

"I cannot aid you, we can only await the return of the Sacred Beast."
