The most shameless alchemist in history

If they rashly attack the Flame Demon, they will be burned before they even hit it!

"This is truly a terrifying opponent. Even if you inflict damage on it, its body will recover in an instant. Is there really any way to defeat such an opponent?" Zi Yan's eyes were filled with doubt and surprise. She had never encountered such a powerful opponent before.

This feeling of powerlessness was a huge blow to her!

"Whether we can defeat it or not, we just need to stall for time a little longer. General Ziyan, please be careful!"

Lei Ming could only barely parry the Flame Demon's barrage of punches.

His power in the Land of Lightning is overwhelming; no one can withstand the force of his punch.

However, when facing the Flame Demon, the latter's enormous fiery fist sent him flying, crashing into the wall and causing a dent.

"General Thunder, are you alright?" Hilbert saw this from afar and wanted to come over and help.

But Gilbert quickly pulled him back, because if even Thunder was so vulnerable, let alone him!

"Your Highness Hilbert, please don't act rashly. What difference is there between rushing over there and going to your death?"

“But… if this continues, we’ll just be waiting to die!” Hilbert had never felt so desperate.

"No, there's still Mr. Dure, who knows, maybe he has a solution."

"Him? Even General Lei Ming and General Zi Yan combined couldn't harm the Flame Demon in the slightest. What could he possibly do?"

Hilbert shook his head; he had no hope for Dure.

At this moment, Du Lei, who had been carving something nearby, finally stopped.

"It took twenty seconds longer than expected. Thank you for your hard work, General Leiming and General Ziyan. You can leave now."

Du Lei took a step back, and at that moment Lei Ming and Zi Yan jumped out of the battle.

After persisting for more than three minutes, they were both in a sorry state and had suffered varying degrees of setbacks.

"If it had lasted another minute, it would have beaten me to death. It's too strong!" Zi Yan said, panting heavily.

“Mr. Dure, this is all we can do. So, what’s next… wait, what’s this?”

Lei Ming didn't know what Du Lei was planning to do either, so he could only do his best within his capabilities.

But at that moment, he suddenly noticed that a magic circle had appeared on the floor of the hall, and he didn't know when it had started.

“To be precise, this is a transmutation array,” Dure said calmly.

"A transmutation circle? An alchemist's transmutation circle?" Zi Yan asked in surprise, having also heard of alchemists.

"Roar!"

The Flame Demon, who had just defeated Thunder and Purple Flame with overwhelming force, roared.

It looks down on the humble ants from its superior position.

These people couldn't even withstand one of its punches; it could easily take them all down!

"Please stay away," Dure reminded him again.

"understood."

Although Zi Yan didn't know what Du Lei was planning to do, and didn't know if he could defeat the massive Flame Demon with just a transmutation array, he was still confused.

"Aren't all alchemists obsessed with concocting medicines and pursuing eternal life? I haven't heard of many people using alchemy in battle, especially in battles where the skill gap is several levels." Although Zi Yan withdrew from the battle, she still had many doubts.

"I'm not entirely sure what Mr. Dure's plans are, but for now, we can only rely on him."

Lei Ming frowned. At this moment, his magic power was completely exhausted, and he was also injured in many places.

In this situation, he is completely incapable of fighting.

If the Flame Demon attacks him again, he will definitely die a horrible death!

"Trust others? This is something that has been both long-lost and unfamiliar to me..." Zi Yan murmured to herself.

Since joining the army of the Land of Flames, she has always relied on herself to fight.

She knew very well that she was the only one who could rely on herself, and that it was a very foolish thing to entrust her fate to others.

She has always believed this and has always acted accordingly.

But now she suddenly realized that she had indeed overestimated herself.

So there are still things in this world that she can't solve?

"I'm really not happy about this," Zi Yan sighed softly.

But she had to admit that now she could only place her hopes on Dure.

Not only her, but Hilbert was the same way.

After Lei Ming and Zi Yan withdrew from the battle, Du Lei became the one who faced the Flame Demon directly.

The Flame Demon was enormous; compared to it, Dure was as insignificant as an ant.

"That's truly a powerful and domineering force. In a normal one-on-one fight, I couldn't beat you," Du Lei readily admitted.

"But no matter how powerful you are, you are essentially a ball of flame, a demon formed from the flames of purgatory. This has its advantages: the flame is your form. As long as the flame does not go out, you will not go out, and you will not even be injured. You are a powerful being that causes people a great headache."

"However, precisely because you are fire, you have a fatal flaw. Of course, water is one, but to extinguish such a massive fire demon, the water in the entire lake probably wouldn't be enough; you could easily evaporate it."

“But another fatal flaw of flames is that combustion requires a medium, it requires air. Without air, you can’t burn, and the flames will go out very quickly, right?” Dure said coldly.

He had long ago found the Flame Demon's fatal weakness.

"This transmutation array was prepared especially for you, so let's begin, activate it!"

923 High-Ranking Demon

Neither Ziyan nor Hilbert believed that Dure had a good way to deal with the Flame Demon.

After all, there is a difference of several levels in strength between them, and this is only a lower-level Flame Demon.

If the powerful Flame Demon were to appear, the entire royal cemetery would likely be destroyed.

But the most terrible consequence is not this. If the Flame Demon is allowed to run rampant, the entire continent will suffer annihilation!

Just when they were at their wits' end, they suddenly noticed that in the center of the hall, Dure and the Flame Demon were facing off.

The Flame Demon's body was engulfed in raging flames, threatening to crush the entire tomb passage.

However, as Dure jumped out of the center, a golden light quickly appeared at the edge of the center.

The golden rays connected to form a transmutation array, and suddenly a wind blew around the array.

This level of wind is not enough to extinguish the Flame Demon; it's simply a drop in the ocean!

But soon Lei Ming and the others were surprised to find that the Flame Demon had suddenly become violent.

It roared, and large areas around it collapsed. It swung its flaming giant fist and smashed it forcefully into the vicinity.

But it seemed trapped by an invisible barrier, unable to break free.

But what was even stranger was that the flames on its body began to extinguish rapidly, a sight that left Hilbert speechless.

"What's going on? The flames of the Flame Demon... are going out?" He really couldn't understand why such a reaction was occurring.

"The Flame Demon is formed from flames. If these flames were to go out, wouldn't that mean..." Zi Yan was greatly surprised by this.

In her line of sight, she quickly saw the flames of the Flame Demon rapidly extinguish, and it soon curled up into a ball, its size growing smaller and smaller.

Before long, it shrank to the size of a fist, and even the last wisps of fire disappeared, finally returning to nothingness.

"Alright, now that it's done, Your Majesty Wellington, where is the sealing gate? We must go there immediately and close it. We can't let the high-ranking fire demon escape from Purgatory. The high-ranking fire demon is not so easy to deal with."

Dure felt no joy at surviving the ordeal, because he knew the real disaster was yet to come!

"Cough cough cough cough..." Wellington's body was already very weak, and now he had experienced such a series of events.

This further worsened his health, leaving him like a flickering candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

“Your Majesty…Your Majesty’s health is already like this, so please don’t trouble yourself.” Zi Yan immediately stepped forward and said.

“It’s alright, it’s alright. Only the three of us—Wilfar, Ferdinand, and I—know the location of the sealed gate. It was my younger brother who caused this disaster, and as his older brother, I have to go and resolve it. Come on, I’ll take you there…” Wellington continued to lead the way.

"Hey, isn't the exit right in front of us? Why did you go back?" Hilbert was getting anxious as he saw the exit was just ahead.

“If the problem of the sealed gate isn’t solved, it won’t be safe anywhere, Your Highness Hilbert. You should leave first. I need to go with them and see if I can be of any help.” Lei Ming hesitated for a moment, but still decided to continue deeper into the area with Du Lei’s group.

He knew very well what choice to make now: if he didn't close the seal, not only the Land of Flame, but also the Land of Lightning would suffer.

"You want me to leave? But that guy named Wilfa, who knows if he sent people to guard the place? If I go out like this, won't I be committing suicide? Fine, I'll die if I want to. You guys wait for me..." Although Hilbert was a hundred or a thousand times unwilling, he had no choice but to go with him.

Led by Wellington, Durley and his group soon arrived at the deepest part of the royal cemetery.

The overflowing lava caused a large-scale collapse in the surrounding area, leaving scorching lava everywhere.

After much effort, they finally found their destination, where a bright red door appeared before Dure.

The gate is nearly twenty stories high and stretches as far as the eye can see, surrounded by a large number of imposing statues.

The height of these statues is unbelievable; it's impossible to imagine how much manpower and resources it would have taken to carve them.

The statues are all warrior statues, more than ten times the height of a normal person, and there are twelve in total.

The surrounding area was filled with lava, and the door that should have been tightly closed was now ajar, with a huge, fiery red hand trying to push it open.

The Flame Demons they had seen before were already enormous.

But now, seeing this giant hand, Hilbert was surprised to find that the Flame Demon from before was probably only the size of this hand.

That unparalleled aura of destruction was accompanied by a sweltering heatwave; the air was scorching, violent, and restless.

This made him feel as if a fire was burning in his heart with every breath he took.

Fortunately, Lei Ming set up a defensive light shield for him, which made him feel a little better.

Otherwise, given Hilbert's physique, he wouldn't have been able to resist at all and would have been burned to ashes long ago!

"Is that... a high-ranking demon? We're too late, it's pushing open the sealing gate!" Zi Yan exclaimed in surprise.

She's a worldly person; she's gotten to where she is today by defeating countless formidable opponents.

She thought that the Flame Demon she had encountered before was the most powerful being she had ever seen.

But now, seeing this demon in power, I realize that I am still too insignificant.

A powerful demon could probably crush her like an ant with just a light squeeze of his fist.
