"Little ghost, I can roughly guess who you are now!"
The newbie players had already started battling low-level monsters like slimes, goblins, and fishmen.
They began the traditional process of grinding and leveling up in games.
On the other side, in a perilous and nearly inaccessible area,
Flames flickered, and smoke filled the air.
A massive black dragon, with its head slightly lowered, was playing with a small fire elemental sprite, whispering softly.
"Hmm~~~ Oh~~~~ Hehehe~"
The fire sprite jumped and made a series of strange, playful noises.
The juxtaposition of the menacing disaster and the cute, mischievous elemental sprite created an oddly harmonious scene.
"But this time, it will be different!"
The dragon lowered its eyes and said something ambiguous, placing its enormous claw on the sprite's head.
Next,
The scales, which were impervious to even the sharpest weapons, suddenly opened up a gap.
Crimson dragon blood began to flow out, mixing with the most explosive and primal fire energy,
Falling from the sky, and precisely landing on the immobilized elemental sprite.
In the next moment,
"Ah!!!!!!!!"
The dragon blood drenched the sprite,
The explosive energy instantly filled its entire body and erupted.
The elemental sprite momentarily faltered and then emitted a series of sharp cries.
Power!
Power!
The power surged suddenly,
This was the purest form of fire energy.
Under the influence of the energy, the small elemental sprite began to grow, gradually transforming.
"Master, thank you for your grace!"
Soon after, a clear, melodious voice sounded.
The fire elemental sprite had not grown very large, only to the size of an adult, and did not continue to grow.
Instead, it transformed into a humanoid form, enveloped in flames, burning fiercely, with a human body faintly visible.
It appeared to be a graceful woman, standing in mid-air, with bright eyes and fiery hair dancing in the wind.
She exuded a wild beauty.
She then knelt on one knee before Ethan Drake,
Offering her loyalty to the king who had helped her reach this state.
"..."
"Growth... truly unattractive!"
Ethan Drake looked at the solemn elemental woman, paused for a moment,
Then shook his head and murmured softly, with an inexplicable tone.
Name: Fire Elemental Lord
Level: ???
Skills: Elemental Body (Passive), Catastrophe: Firestorm, Catastrophe: Scorching Hell, Catastrophe: Flame Explosion, Elemental Calamity, Volcanic Eruption...
Description: A powerful guardian of the Catastrophe, the Fire Elemental Lord who guards the fiery realm of the extreme south. Possesses the power to control primordial fire, capable of incinerating everything in the world. Fierce, irritable, and extremely dangerous.
At the same time, the attributes panel of the Fire Elemental Lord appeared before Ethan Drake.
Fire Elemental Lord!
After being infused with Ethan Drake's power, its race had evolved from a simple volcano elemental sprite to the current Fire Elemental Lord.
As a high-ranking final boss, how could it not have subordinates?
According to the usual game pattern, players would have to challenge one small boss after another, then gather their strength and prepare to confront the ultimate final boss.
The Fire Elemental Lord was one such boss.
In Lucas Hayes's memory, just when he had transmigrated, the super-large dungeon named [Wrath of the Elements] was popular.
Powerful players, along with the saviors, arrived at the extreme southern forbidden zone, seeking the slumbering world catastrophe.
They attempted to slay it while it slept.
They then encountered the Fire Elemental Lord guarding the volcanic entrance.
Naturally, the enraged elemental lord did not allow anyone to disturb its master's sleep,
And thus began the battle,
The powerful Elemental Lord controlled the world-burning flames, and no one could withstand it.
Its passive Elemental Body took no physical damage, causing considerable frustration.
But eventually, the saviors found a flaw and used the Elemental Lord's loyalty to the slumbering world catastrophe to feign a deeper incursion into the volcanic forbidden land. In reality, they had set up an ambush to control and imprison it, resorting to despicable tactics and ultimately sacrificing a savior who controlled ice magic to permanently seal it with forbidden ice magic.
Throughout the process, the final dragon did not appear.
Ethan Drake was unsure what his alternate timeline self thought.
The adventurers had blocked his door and faced an NTR situation.
After the event was completed for the first time, a large dungeon portal for [Wrath of the Elements] was formed at the Fire Elemental Lord's sealed location.
Inside, projections of the boss and major characters would appear, allowing players to repeatedly enter and experience, grinding for equipment and experience.
The Elemental Lord, as a major boss, was repeatedly humiliated.
Of course, in this world,
Perhaps things would be different!
