Age of Adepts

What is so powerful about a 3rd order wizard compared to a 2nd order wizard?

Higher magic resistance, a stronger body, and terrifying mental pressure... these were all just superficial phenomena, but what really determined the difference between the 2nd and 3rd level equivalents was the control of the elemental particles.

Due to their small size, human-dominated sorcerers were much less able to contain their own magical energy compared to huge demons. As a result, during a fierce battle, they need to continuously obtain those free elemental particles from the outside world to replenish their own rapid consumption.

As for the 3rd level witches, except for a very few who were good at refining their bodies, most of them were only seven or eight times better than ordinary humans. Such strength sounded formidable, but it still couldn't withstand a swift and violent attack in a high level battle.

As a Bloodline Sorcerer, Yurga would have a great increase in agility after transforming into a Suicidal Crow, but his physique and vitality were still his obvious shortcomings. In other words, Yurga still belonged to a brittle sorcerer with a high attack and weak defense!

Of course, this kind of weak defense is only for 3rd level witches!

From the start of this duel between 2-step and 3-step, it was a standoff.

On one side was the thick, inky black mist, and on the other side was the flaming sea of fire.

The two sides invaded and entangled each other, consuming the magic energy in the other's domain space frantically every moment.

The young fire witch who was only at the 2nd stage showed a strength as strong as his opponent's, not losing ground in the battle for the realm space.

This undoubtedly appalled the many sorcerers watching the battle!

But in their opinion, such heroism was meaningless. Under the oppression of a 3rd rank witch, how much advantage could that 2nd rank fire witch have in the battle for elemental particles? Once cut off from external supplementation, how long would he be able to hold on to such a powerful burning field with only the magical energy he was imbued with?

At that time, I'm afraid he would have to dissipate this extremely energy-draining elemental field himself without being forced by the other party. And once there was no blessing from the elemental field, it was simply out of the hands of the Yurga Witch to kill the young fire witch. Hundreds or thousands of death rays condensed into a 'death gaze', how could a 2nd rank sorcerer be able to resist it!

While the onlooker wizards were talking, Yorga, who was in the midst of the fire, had a very different feeling from them.

Damn it, why do these flames burn so painfully....

As a rank 3 sorcerer and with some protective secret techniques, Yorga's magic resistance was already up to 217 points at this point, basically possessing primary fire immunity. But even so, when he dived into the other party's sea of fire, the 1,326 suicidal crows he had transformed into truly felt the damage caused by the flames.

A terrifying stream of hot flames swept across, and more than a dozen crows were unable to dodge the flaming tail and were instantly incinerated to ashes, dead beyond recognition. At the edge of the black mist, there were always some crows that were too late to dodge and became prey to the fire.

Damn, where did that fire witch hide?

Yorga's huge mental energy kept moving through the sea of fire, but there was no sign of the young fire witch, and even the two elemental puppets had disappeared together, hard to find. If we continue to delay like this, although the lost Suicide Crow can continue to be mimicked through its witch power, its own witch power is also depleting.

I can't fight a 2nd ranked Sorcerer with such difficulty!

The impetuous Yurga immediately took action, and thousands of suicidal crows croaked and rushed into the surrounding sea of fire. They spread their wings and flew, while firing a death ray from their scarlet pupils into the sea of fire.

Strangely enough, a deep muffled sound was suddenly heard from within the burning field, which was originally nothing but flames. Immediately afterwards, a large sea of fire extinguished, as if these flames were also living beings with souls.

As the dead crows continued to spread, the area of the sea of fire began to shrink drastically, and the tossing black mist swarmed in instead, taking advantage of the opportunity to encroach on a lot of the space of the burning field.

Grim, who had been stealthily hiding in the sea of fire, sighed, knowing that the Sea of Fire alone could not handle the attack of the Level 3 Sorcerer, and could only give new battle orders to the two terrifying Inferno Demons through mental fluctuations.

The Sea of Fire, as the battle space that Grim had laid out for himself, would never allow the other party to become the master.

Therefore, when the suing crows attacked the Sea of Fire with impunity, the Sea of Fire's counterattack was immediate!

In the depths of the flaming, scorching sea of fire, two heavenly terrifying Inferno Demons appeared. As soon as they appeared, they waved their hands and beckoned a large fire cloud to sweep towards the suicidal crows that were weaving and flying at the edge of the black mist.

Wherever the fire clouds passed, the entire space was like a boiling furnace, and everything was set on fire.

In addition to the large fire clouds, the two Terrifying Inferno Demons also condensed a huge ball of lava fire, wildly smashing into the black mist. The raging burst of magical flames and terrifying heat wave instantly incinerated a large area of the dead crows into ashes.

But just as the two Terror Fiends were fighting, the flames on their sides dimmed, and a strange humanoid figure only as short as their calves suddenly emerged.

As Yurga emerged, a thick death ray shot out from the scarlet pupil between his forehead and struck one of the Terror Inferno's body. The opponent struggled for only half a second, and then with a furious roar, he exploded into a sky of fire debris and a violent rain of meteor fire.

In this apocalyptic scene, the Demonic Puppet Crystals hidden in the Terror Demon's body also flew out together, and disintegrated silently in mid-air, crumbling into pieces all over the ground.

A Tier 2 Intermediate Terror Inferno was killed by Yurga without a word!

In the depths of the sea of fire, Grim's mind suddenly tingled, and the bit of mental energy that was attached to the Terrifying Inferno Crystal Core was annihilated along with it. If it wasn't for the fact that he had seen it coming and promptly severed his spiritual connection with the other party, I'm afraid that the 3rd ranked Sorcerer's 'Death Gaze' could still reach Grim, the original master, through this hidden connection.

However, even so, the heartache brought to Grim was indescribable as one of his best men was killed so easily by the opponent.

You know, such a powerful magic puppet, Grim was never willing to sell it. If you really want to put it into the sorcerer's market, the base price would be at least 170,000 magic crystals. Such a price was already almost equivalent to a low-matching version of the Sorcerer Tower.

But don't be too expensive!

As good as the witch tower is, can you move it around? But such an elemental magic puppet could be carried around and summoned at any time to charge the battlefield for him. Such convenience and power was also incomparable to the Witch Tower in some ways!

However, it was such an elemental magic puppet that seemed to be built up from large sums of magic crystals, but it was spiked in the first instant of a battle against a rank 3 sorcerer, and the resulting shock to Grim could be imagined.

After all, compared to the Terror Inferno, there was hardly much difference in strength between Grim and the Terror Inferno, apart from some more elemental protection and the flame suit on his body. Since the other side was able to second the Terror Inferno, it wasn't that difficult to second the Grim Terror.

Therefore, on top of being distressed by the magic crystals, Grim was even more worried about his own safety.

After all, if the elemental magic puppet exploded, it could still continue to be built. If his own soul exploded, it would really be all over!

It was out of this consideration that Grim hesitated to summon back the other Terror Inferno.

This was not the moment to be distressed about magic crystals.

What was the original motivation for creating the Elemental Demon Puppet? Not yet in order to charge for themselves...now is the time they need to be brave enough to die!

Thus, just as that Yurga Wizard instantly extinguished a Terror Inferno, another Terror Inferno, instead of retreating, turned its cannon and poured its most violent fury onto the 3rd rank Wizard.

The black mist was blown apart, and even the edges of the black robe on Yorga's body showed some signs of scorching and cracking.

As a rank 3 Sorcerer, how could Yorga be troubled by this 'insignificant' attack. With a hidden smile, his black robe shrouded body once again exploded into red-eyed, black-feathered ravens, fluttering and scattering in all directions.

Just as that terrifying inflammatory demon's hands once again gathered a large mass of elemental flames, the sea of fire behind it abruptly split, and Yurga surprisingly and strangely emerged from the void.

In the next second, a thick death ray struck the body of the only remaining Terror Inferno Demon.

A 6-meter tall, 4-ton giant was blown over by a magic ray that was no bigger than a bowl, and its body collapsed and disintegrated into shards and fire debris. The magic puppet crystal core also could not escape the magic effect, along with the body disintegrated.

It was only 15 seconds before and after, and 340,000 magic crystals were gone!

After inspiring two battle abilities in one breath, that Yurga Wizard's thin, pale cheeks could not help but show a flush and his breath quickened.

"Hmph, damned little thing, now let's see what else you have to resist with. When I overwhelm all the fires, let's see where else you can hide..."

Unfortunately, before his words could fall to the ground, two furious roars abruptly rang out from the depths of the sea of fire, and two more tall Infernal Demon bodies emerged.

Damn damn damn damn... Why did that bastard bring so many high-ranked elemental puppets with him?

I don't know the exact price, but an elemental puppet that could reach the 2nd intermediate level and had such powerful combat abilities could never be too low. That... that damned little guy, where did he get such great wealth to get so many elemental puppets.

And looking at the standardized body shape and fighting ability of these puppets, they must have been made from the same batch. If one wanted to find a master alchemist to tailor such a fine puppet for them, the amount of magic crystals spent would be enormous.

This........

Yorga was in the midst of his agitation of astonishment when a brief piece of information suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Grim, a 2nd rank Fire Witch, with roughly mid to high level strength and a special talent for creating strange elemental puppets..."

Damn, these elemental puppets were built by this Grim himself!
