Chapter 1141: Chapter 391: Hellfire
"Crash!"
Soil splattered everywhere!
Two massive clay hands erupted simultaneously from the left and right, emerging from the ground and forcefully prying open the earth, still shimmering with a yellow glow.
Suddenly, a huge, humanoid creature with a cylindrical lower body swiftly burrowed out from the ground.
Standing about three and a half meters tall, it had a brownish-yellow appearance akin to an Obsidian Giant but lacked complete lower limbs, resembling a half-finished Elemental Giant.
Rein watched the opponent’s casting technique with great interest.
Clearly, this Clay Series witchcraft wasn’t simply Puppetry Technique.
Or rather, it differs significantly from the Metal Series Puppetry Technique, seemingly incorporating some form of summoning.
As soon as the clay monster appeared, it dashed quickly toward the Evil Fire Element.
"This is a clay monster with combat capabilities comparable to an Advanced Battle Puppet, Lord Paul, you are truly remarkable." Alicia’s beautiful eyes widened slightly in astonishment.
For logically, someone at Paul’s level would typically summon a mud monster, which wouldn’t be surprising, but what emerged was a clay monster, which was indeed jaw-dropping.
At this moment, Paul nodded quite gentlemanly and spoke slowly:
"Yes, Sister Alicia, it is indeed a clay monster. In terms of combat power, after being reinforced by my Earth Element Summoning Crystal, it surpasses even your Advanced Battle Puppet."
Though his tone was calm, the self-satisfaction in his words and the fleeting pride in his eyes were unmistakable.
"Earth Element Summoning Crystal?" Alicia gasped softly.
"That Earth Element Summoning Crystal that can enhance Earth Element Summoning by about twenty percent? Isn’t that the witch artifact once used by the Clay Series Master Scott?"
Actually, this Earth Element Summoning Crystal has another feature; it lowers summoning difficulty, a well-known witch artifact within the school, once the signature artifact of Second Level Liquidization Wizard Scott.
Even the lowest-level witch artifacts can only be crafted by a Second Level Liquidization Wizard.
To think, Master Scott gifted it to Paul, who had just joined the school, showed how valued he was.
"Yes, the mentor was concerned for my safety this time, and specifically gifted me this artifact for use," Paul said, casting a glance at Audrey.
But to his disappointment, the pure-looking girl before him showed no signs of surprise, maintaining a rather calm disposition.
"No wonder Lord Paul’s summoned clay monster is taller and larger than regular clay monsters." Alicia nodded in realization.
At that moment, Rein suddenly said, "I think it’s probably safer if we retreat from the camp first."
"Hm? This... new brother, do you not believe in the combat power of my clay monster?" Paul’s displeasure was evident given Rein’s words.
"Right, with your skill, you probably have no idea about my clay monster’s combat strength."
"If you’re scared, you can go first."
He planned to show off his combat strength in front of Audrey, and now, retreat?
What a joke!
Moreover, over these days, he had subtly noticed something.
That Audrey seemed especially mindful of this brother. Could it be that the opponent was younger and more handsome than him?
This made Paul even more displeased with Rein!
"Since Brother Rein thinks it’s unwise, let’s retreat then," Audrey, hearing Rein’s suggestion, immediately agreed without hesitation.
By this time, the clay monster had already engaged with the Evil Fire Element.
"Boom!"
Faced with the taller clay monster, the Evil Fire Element instantly released a circle of ’Evil Fire Shock.’
A scorching ring-shaped wave swept around, the shockwave instantly cracking the surface of the advancing clay monster.
But Paul wasn’t boasting; his clay monster indeed had stronger combat power than ordinary ones. The hardened clay chunks soon fell off after being scorched, and the monster began its mud spray attack.
"Hiss!"
A large jet of mud spurt out violently like a high-pressure water gun from the clay monster’s wide mouth, drenching the Evil Fire Element’s burning body, causing a large plume of gray mist.
As the Evil Fire Element was hit, its hellfire-made body visibly shrank a size.
"See that?" This scene made Paul look increasingly proud, his chin lifting slightly.
Just as Alicia was about to say something, Rein pointed to the rocky area in the distance, saying:
"What about the two on the left and right?"
Currently, they’re in an open area, but as a canyon, it’s recessive, surrounded by quite a few falling rocks, some particularly large, blocking view significantly.
Upon hearing Rein’s words, all three of them were startled and looked up.
They saw, dozens of meters away, two more Evil Fire Elements seemed to have noticed the combat commotion, appearing suddenly. And more importantly, what did this imply?
This made Paul’s face turn pale, "Why are there so many?"
"Oh no! Could it be the passage is rioting?"
Paul quickly calculated in his mind and immediately said, "It’s too many, Audrey, let’s split up, otherwise staying here only leads to a dead end."
With that, Paul’s expression turned panicked, and he ran off without even turning back!
The clay monster followed closely, nearly completely blocking the narrow corner, not caring about Alicia and Audrey, let alone Rein.
"Paul, you...!" Alicia initially thought Paul wouldn’t leave just like that but at least would stand and advance together!
