Chapter 54: Ranking Up
The Flame Elementals were on the weaker side of E-Ranks because they didn’t have a physical form. But that also meant their skills were very strong, and they also couldn’t be harmed by normal means.
Kael had considered that and ran a small experiment on the Flame Elementals, finding out their weakness—which was the metal bars hidden inside them.
They acted as their core, which held the flowing mass of fire around it. Once it was taken out, the Flame Elemental would collapse, giving him the Soul Power and also the metal bars as drop loot.
So, he was prepared to deal with the Flame Elementals if they came in huge numbers. Though, he was still nervous, as this could very well end up as his deathbed.
’Not the first time, heh.’
With precise movements of his claws, he cut open the wall, and at last, he clenched his fist tightly before delivering a terrifying blow that blasted the wall outwards.
Expecting such a reaction because of the Flame Elementals, Kael backed away while opening his mouth. In the next moment, a bulging river of fire poured out of the room into the corridor as the cracking noise of chains made his ears twitch in irritation.
Still, he opened his mouth wide and roared, as the whole fire river suddenly froze in the air and trembled, as if struggling to remain in existence.
Kael didn’t waste the opportunity and threw [Storm Pulse] amidst the convulsing river of fire, which provided an additional paralyzing effect.
He proceeded to plunge his bare hands into the river of fire and began searching for the metal bars. His face turned livid as he gritted his teeth, feeling the extreme heat melting away his skin.
Even his Draconic physique couldn’t handle such high temperatures, as he was at a very low rank. Still, that also gave him ridiculous regeneration abilities, which were healing his arm the moment it showed signs of being melted.
