In the magical world.
Earth, Wind, Water and Fire are the four basic elements.
Other rare elements are derived from these four basic elements.
But only the Spiritual Element can surpass the four main elements, and is revered as the controller and ruler of all the elements!
Although Landy is only a sixth level skeleton warrior, he has absorbed countless soul fires since his simulation without knowing it.
With his current soul strength, he is probably stronger than many dark mages.
Due to his low elemental affinity.
Landy cannot manipulate the elements as well as other mages.
But he can suppress the uncontrollable elemental power with his powerful mental power!
Control and suppression are very different concepts.
The former relies on a strong elemental affinity, like an extension of limbs, to more easily manipulate the elemental forces between heaven and earth.
The latter is a one-man show.
If you don't listen, I'll beat you until you do!
"Disperse!" The blood-red soulfire in Landy's hollow eye sockets suddenly surged.
An invisible wave of power spread from him in all directions.
The raging sea of fire, out of control, seemed to have been sternly rebuked by an invisible giant hand, and no longer behaved as wildly and capriciously as before.
The almost out of control situation finally returned to normal.
Although Landy could hardly control the fire.
The price was that several fine cracks appeared on the surface of his skull.
"How is that possible, the power of the fierce fire has actually been subdued?" The inexplicable scene in front of Norton left him completely stunned.
As a Fifth Rank Dark Alchemist, he knew full well that forcibly interfering with the operation of alchemical matrices would lead to unimaginable consequences.
But Landy's actions completely overturned his decades of alchemical experience.
Who would have thought that mental power could be used in such a way?
Can the unruly and uncontrollable element of fire be tamed with pure mental power?
In theory, yes, but in practice it is more difficult than reaching heaven.
After a moment of silence, Norton finally understood the reason for the crack in Landy's skull.
Because his body was too weak to contain such a powerful mental force, it could collapse at any moment if forced.
After the fire returned to normal.
Landy picked up the heart of a sixth level magma dragon lizard and pressed it to his left chest.
The principle of alchemy is equivalent exchange.
As a descendant of the sub-dragon, the magma dragon lizard naturally had a very strong affinity with the fire elements.
Its heart contained a great deal of essence.
After the transformation of the alchemical matrix.
This dragon lizard's heart gradually withered and dried up, losing all its blood and vitality.
On the contrary, the alchemical rune engraved on Landy's left chest now shone brightly, as if radiating new vitality!
After half an hour.
The once energy-rich dragon lizard heart, the size of an adult's head, was completely reduced to powder and scattered into the air as the last trace of elemental power was squeezed out.
At the same time.
A group of blood-red flames suddenly erupted from the alchemical rune on his chest, causing a tremendous qualitative change in his affinity with the fire elements!
In Landy's perception.
The once untamed fire element, like a wild wolf, was now as docile as a sheep.
With a simple gesture, even before casting a spell, the surrounding fire elements would obediently gather around him, allowing him to command at will!
If the maximum elemental affinity level is 100 points.
Then Landy's current affinity with the fire elements was at least 90 points, if not higher!
More importantly, as his affinity with the fire elements increased, the surging flames could no longer harm him in any way.
The subsequent elemental transformation became as easy as it was natural, with no accidents.
At one point.
As if some bonds were broken.
At that moment.
Landy's body experienced a rebirth.
His soul power skyrocketed, his mind became unusually active, and his mental power became unprecedentedly strong!
He felt as if his soul had ascended into a wider world.
Like a tiger returning to the mountain, or a dragon entering the sea.
From now on he could soar freely in the sea and sky!
No more worries about limitations and restrictions!
"Elemental transformation is truly extraordinary.
"All the hardships I've endured have been worth it!"
Feeling the changes within himself, Landy was overjoyed.
If his previously weak body had been like a small cup of water, unable to support a powerful soul.
Then after the elemental transformation.
That small water cup had been transformed into a large water reservoir!
Enough to allow Landy to freely use his mental power without worrying about his skull cracking problems!
Landy made a rough estimate.
After the body transformation, he could now enslave tens of millions of undead minions, extending his reach to a radius of twenty miles!
This meant that Landy could control the actions of the undead minions even from ten thousand metres away.
And with the experience gained from this elemental transformation.
Landy could continue to replicate in the future and greatly increase his affinity with other elements!
"Among the five elements, the spirit is paramount, while earth, wind, water and fire are the basics."
"But the four basic elements can also nourish the spirit and strengthen the soul!"
"Both are complementary and indispensable."
Landy pondered in his heart, understanding the direction of his future development.
By compensating for his lack of elemental affinity, he would strive to increase his soul strength and thus enslave more undead minions!
"Congratulations, Master, on a great improvement." Norton, pleasantly surprised, spoke from the heart.
As the ruler of the Undead Catastrophe, Landy's every move could mean the life or death of his undead minions.
If anything happened to Landy, the undead minions under his control would also perish.
But with Landy's breakthrough in power, they could also benefit.
This time, for example.
Norton could feel it clearly as Landy's strength increased.
His soul power had also improved significantly compared to before, and he would soon be promoted to a sixth rank Dark Alchemist!
"There are still many flaws in this elemental transformation."
"Norton, help me collect books and information on alchemy, I want to study this field of knowledge personally."
Rather than allowing the sudden surge of power to cloud his judgement, Landy sought to identify and address his shortcomings, striving to perfect himself.
And after this elemental transformation, Landy found himself increasingly interested in alchemy.
Alchemy is the study of material composition, an exploration of the fundamental nature of the world.
Mastering this knowledge would greatly help Landy to increase the strength of his spiritual element.
Outside Blood Castle.
A huge Frostbane dragon, as massive as a mountain, lay gasping for breath in the open space near the castle.
In the last battle.
It was incinerated by the hellish flames summoned by Norton, losing half of its body.
This resilience was due to his dragon lineage, as his life force was extremely tenacious. Even after suffering such severe injuries, it managed to survive.
If it were any other race, it would have died long ago.
