Chapter 1005 Gifts from the Fire Elementals
Flunra must have had knowledge of past events personally to be precisely correct.
It somewhat made Adhara wonder what kind of person he was back then as he even knew the dispute between the Demons and the Fire Elementals. He was one of the guardians of the Dark Prince, but he must also act as an informant to know this much.
Maybe he was tasked to keep tabs on important races and report back to the prince.
Nevertheless, he was right about the Fire Elementa's motives.
By annihilating the Rastrikan Demon—a malevolent force responsible for numerous atrocities against not only the Fire Elementals but also various other races—Rex effectively eradicated the primary problem that plagued the Fire Elementals.
A problem that may as well caused them to hide inside the crust of the earth like this.
Due to that, the Fire Elementals wanted to show their gratitude.
'Although they wanted to thank Rex for doing them a favor, they must've heard about the Silverstar Pack to be confident that we are also not a bad force. Maybe, I can also recruit them into the alliance' Adhara thought, her eyes flashed with motivation.
Rex would definitely appreciate it if they gained more help.
In addition, the Fire Elementals are not a low-rank Supernatural race either.
Gaining them to the alliance's side will definitely be positive.
Soon enough, the entity's fire retracted and Adhara returned to normal, exhaling roughly through her mouth. On the side, Ugrok worriedly approached her, but she quickly raised her hand, gesturing that she was fine.
Looking up at the entity again, Adhara then asked, "What are you offering for Rex?"
"As the Female Alpha, I'm definitely suitable to accept your gift for him" She continued firmly.
Upon hearing this, the entity paused for a second before he nodded, affirming that it was not a problem if he bestowed his gift through Adhara. Instantly after that, he channeled his power, creating a dense concentration of fire mana.
It was akin to a black hole, sucking fire mana from the surroundings endlessly.
Gradually, a beautiful yet devastating crystal appeared.
Just from the appearance and aura that the crystal was emanating, Adhara could tell that it was something out of the ordinary, a legendary item. "This is the Primordial Fire Crystal, not the normal one either, a crystal that was left behind by the death of one of our greatest Elders who sacrificed himself to protect our people from the Rastrikan Demons"
"Since Rex did the same, I'm sure the Elder will be happy if he has this" the entity added.
Slowly, the Primordial Fire Crystal hovered towards Adhara.
Even though the entity decided to give this precious item away, there was sadness written on his expression, showing that the crystal held a sentimental value. Judging by that alone, Adhara believed every single word he uttered.
Adhara reached out her hand before the crystal levitated above her palm beautifully.
Her eyes were glued onto its ethereal charm.
Not only her eyes were the one attracted to the crystal, but her fire was also attracted.
"It possesses the capability to inscribe any object deemed a weapon, imbuing it with the unparalleled power of True Primordial Fire, a type of fire unyielding to manipulation by any other than its possessor. Its allure is capable of turning Fire Elementalists mad. However, I caution against absorbing it, as it may lead to an implosion of the physical form" the entity said, elaborating on the crystal.
He did that out of concern since Adhara and Ugrok were tempted by its magnificence.
Upon hearing this, both of them quickly shook their heads.
Taking one more glance at the Primordial Fire Crystal once again, Adhara had something in mind when she noticed that the entity seemed to gift a very specific item, "Do you have a reason why you are giving him this?"
"Well, yes. I heard the Executor wants to kill Rex Silverstar" the entity replied truthfully.
Just as she thought, there was a reason why the entity gave this crystal.
Crossing his muscular fiery arms, the entity then continued, "The Executors are all given the affinity to Chaos element, a destructive element that could corrupt and control other natural elements such as fire, water, earth, and wind. This also includes higher-ranked elements that branched from those base elements. Only True Elements could resist the corruption from the Chaos element"
Adhara listened attentively and was surprised by the information.
She didn't know that the Executor's element, the Chaos element was capable of doing that.
'Did Rex know about this? I should tell him just to be sure' She decided.
Pointing at the Primordial Fire Crystal, the entity then said, "But the fire inside of that crystal couldn't be manipulated, its essence is pure, so it would be very helpful for your Alpha if he ever fought against the Executor"
Upon hearing this, Adhara nodded.
Additionally, she also deemed this the perfect conversation to recruit the Fire Elementals.
"I thanked you for this great gift, and I'll make sure to give it to Lord Rex" She nodded.
But then, she continues while keeping a close look at the entity's emotional aura, "Lord Rex is planning to take down the Executor. There would be a massive war in the future, and the fate of the Supernaturals lies in that fight. We have an alliance, led by Lord Rex himself, and I was wondering if you're interested in joining"
Since the Fire Elemental's survivability also lies in that fight, this is a reasonable proposal.
With the Fire Elementals on their side, their power would be boosted.
However, contrary to her belief, the entity shook his head with a light sigh, "I apologize, but I have to refuse that offer. Our numbers are very few, and we couldn't afford a war. It would be very bad for us if we lose more"
"Even though you know that the Executor will come after you if he wins?" She asked again.
The entity nodded in response, "We'll take our chances"
Upon being rejected, Adhara sealed her lips, her mind was thinking of another way.
Despite the entity rejecting the idea of going to war with them, she still feels like there's a way to convince the entity. Soon, she deciphered that way, "If the problem for you is losing your people, then what if you help us from the shadows?"
"From the shadows...?" the entity looked at her with an evident frown.
Just like that, the two started negotiating back and forth about the price of cooperation.
Albeit the reluctance to accept contributing to the war, the way Adhara delivered the words of persuasion made the entity feel like without his help, the Supernaturals would definitely lose the war, he eventually agreed to help from the shadows.
It would prevent him from losing his people while also simultaneously contributing to the war.
He had a love-and-hate relationship with the other Supernatural races.
Mainly the fact that the Demons, a higher-rank Supernatural attacked them to the point of almost genocide. However, they also still have bad blood with ancient humans, like any other Supernatural races that were oppressed.
The Executor is one of them, one who likes to hunt Elementals to harvest their essences.
"I only agree to help enhance your armors and such. My people will not directly fight on the frontline, and that will be our deal, is that clear, Female Alpha?" the entity repeated, trying to make sure that there would be no deviation from their agreement.
Adhara nodded her head in understanding, a big smile on her face.
With the negotiation done, she wanted to ask to be trained in the way of fire, to become stronger, but she reckoned that she would be too shameless to ask for that. At least, asking about that right now wouldn't be appropriate.
In a couple of days, she might come back and talk about this with the entity.
Maybe then would be more appropriate.
Just as she was intending to leave, her attention was suddenly pulled to her left ankle.
Upon a downward gaze, Adhara was astounded to discover a petite ember of fire, the size of a volleyball, tenderly nudging her left leg with its body. It was a cute little Fire Elemental, and it appeared to be seeking something from her in a manner that exuded an endearing appeal.
"Hmm...? Do you want my fire?" Adhara asked, trying to guess what the little guy wanted.
Surprisingly, the little Fire Elemental nodded its head repeatedly.
Finding that there was no problem with this, Adhara summoned her violet fire which was way bigger than it normally was, and kneeled down to give it to the small Fire Elemental. It sniffed her fire a couple of times before its eyes sparkled.
Not wasting a single more second, it greedily opened its mouth and devoured the violet fire.
Even Adhara was surprised to see its small body absorbing that much fire.
Swish!
In a couple of seconds, the fire that she summoned was devoured completely.
Savoring the taste of her violet fire, the small Fire Elemental swelled like a balloon, causing a moment of concern for Adhara. However, upon reaching its zenith and unable to expand any further, the petite entity puffed back to normal size, now its body adorned in a resplendent shade of violet.
An identical color to Adhara's violet flame.
Feeling full from devouring the violet fire, the small Fire Elemental slumped smaller lazily.
"I sensed your fire the moment you walked in, Female Alpha. You are a Fire Elementalist with a tint of True Fire. I haven't seen a fire element like yours in a long time, the Fire of Jealousy that is" the entity spoke after he watched the ordeal from the side.
Upon hearing this, Adhara turned towards him, surprised to find him aware of her element.
But then again, the entity is a Fire Elemental, so it wasn't that surprising.
"Also, your Fire of Jealousy doesn't seem to be normal. I suppose, considering that you are a Werewolf, the jealousy you felt must've been amplified somehow. Normally, anyone that ventured into our place would find it hard to breathe, even if you are a Fire Elementalist" the entity continued.
His eyes then darted to the side, "Just like your friend over there"
Oblivious to what he meant, Adhara turned to look at Ugrok and found him sweating and hyperventilating, which was why he was silent all this time. It seemed the extremely dense fire mana inside this canyon was too much for him to handle.
However, Adhara doesn't feel that bothered.
She could feel that the fire mana was so thick, but it didn't cause any side effects to her.
Adhara didn't realize it until the entity pointed it out.
"Is he going to be okay?" Adhara asked, fearing that this might cause something to Ugrok.
Putting on a light smile, the entity shook his head, "No, it's not going to cause anything that might endanger his life. Of course, had the Cyclops been weaker, then he might die. But at his strength, there's no need to worry about him. A Cyclops is extremely resilient after all"
Descending to the ground, the entity approached Adhara.
"Now, I know what your answer will be, but I'm going to ask anyway. Do you want me to turn your element complete? If you want, I can make your fire element into a complete True Fire element" He asked, bringing light to Adhara's eyes.
Since he decided to help from the shadows, this could be considered helping too.
On the other hand, Adhara was ecstatic about this.
Adhara wanted to postpone asking the entity to make her stronger, but it seemed the entity sniffed her intention and decided to offer it first. She was given a chance that she wouldn't decline even if she was unconscious when she was offered.
"Yes, if that's possible, I want it" She replied excitedly.
Just then, a frown crossed her face, "But, I must ask, will that be fine with you?"
Upon hearing this, the entity laughed heartily, not anticipating Adhara's concern for his well-being when presented with the chance to gain power. Unintentionally, this endeared Adhara to the entity even further, making the entity look at her in a better light.
"No problem. Our bodies naturally produce essences of True Fire, so giving it to you would not cause a problem, you don't have to worry" the entity replied assuringly. "However, in order to be bestowed this, you must pass our trial tradition, are you up for it?"
"Yes, I will do anything as long as you can make me stronger" Adhara replied resolutely.
This answer made the entity's smile stretch wider.
"Well okay then, if that's the case, let us begin the trial..."
