Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

The ground beneath Thor's feet rippled like water, and in the next moment, his massive body sank down little by little.

Ground-locking cones are only effective against ordinary creatures; they can't trap powerful beings like Thor.

…………

What Thor brought to the Earth Elemental Plane was not all of his fighting force, and the number of cannon fodder was insufficient, which could not compare with the Earth Giants who had been cultivating for an unknown period of time.

Seeing his men suffer heavy casualties, the Darkin, as the leader of the legion, had no choice but to personally take to the field.

These small giants, each seven or eight meters tall, wielded enormous weapons, making them virtually invincible to the low-level earth elemental beings.

The diminutive Thor Stone Golem was crushed flat, and the mudstone constructs were easily smashed. It wasn't until the equally tall Earth Giant joined the battle that they barely managed to withstand the Darkin's charge.

However, ordinary earth giants are no match for these darkin. Inherited from Thor, the darkin possess powerful resistances that allow them to ignore most low-level spells and even ordinary physical attacks.

Seeing his people being driven back in defeat, the Earth Giant Lord cursed them as useless and transformed his entire body into a swirling sandstorm, kicking up large amounts of mud and soil as he charged forward.

When he reappeared in human form, he was already at the forefront of the battlefield. His body, which was originally only a head taller than an ordinary earth giant, rapidly expanded like an inflating balloon under the cover of mud and sand.

A giant, resembling a small mountain, suddenly rose from the ground, its head even reaching the top of the tunnel. A mass of rocks transformed into a heavy hammer in its hand, which it swung forward with great force.

Boom!!

The ground several hundred meters ahead was rippled several meters high by this terrifying attack.

Even more terrifying was the shockwave contained within, which instantly killed all the Legion creatures within the area, and even some of the weaker Darkin were blasted away and injured.

Then, this mountain-sized giant displayed a speed of movement completely disproportionate to his size. Without moving his legs, the ground beneath his feet lifted his body like waves, propelling him forward at incredible speed.

Another hammer blow slammed down, killing and sending more Darkin and his legion members flying. It wasn't until Kasos charged forward wielding his crimson greatsword that the Earth Giant Lord's rampage was finally brought under control, but even he was forced to retreat due to the terrifying power.

Chapter 304 Capture

"You weak creature, with your meager strength, dare to try and stop me!!"

boom--!!!

Another heavy hammer slammed down, and even though Kasos immediately parried with his sword, he was still violently sent flying by the vast difference in strength and size.

The dark red color representing the Darkborn is gradually retreating as the yellowish-brown tide representing the Earth Giants keeps crashing against it.

In the blink of an eye, they had retreated to the entrance of the hall. When the Earth Giant Lord's gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on the aether crystal on the altar, a deep greed flashed in his eyes.

"Stop your futile resistance! You can never defeat me! Kneel down! Surrender! Offer up all your treasures! Only then will I consider sparing your lives!"

A wild, unrestrained laugh erupted from the Earth Giant Lord's mouth, filled with an arrogant confidence that he was determined to win.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a group of lowly creatures throwing piles of various magical gem ores from the ground toward a portal at the far end of the hall.

These damned creatures are planning to retreat and are transferring what rightfully belongs to them!

The moment the thought crossed his mind, a raging fire ignited in the heart of the Earth Giant Lord, especially when he saw one of the red-scaled kobolds climb onto the altar, its claws reaching for the gem he was determined to obtain. He could no longer restrain himself.

"Stop! You lowly bastard!"

No one knows where the other end of the portal leads, nor whether there will be any chance to retrieve those magic gems once they've been thrown in.

The scene before him filled the Earth Giant Lord with anxiety. He swung his heavy hammer wildly as if he had gone mad, forcefully pushing through Kasos's counterattacks and charging into the hall.

At this moment, the Earth Giant Lord's eyes were completely occupied by the huge aether crystal, and he had no time to care about anything else.

Therefore, the moment he rushed into the hall, he suddenly swept his sword to force back the surrounding enemies, and his entire body collapsed instantly, turning into flying sand that rushed straight towards the altar in the center of the hall.

The surrounding Darkin tried desperately to stop them, but they were too late. In an instant, the flying sand had already climbed onto the altar, sweeping the rainbow gem and the kobold next to it into the sand.

A shrill scream suddenly rang out, and a large cloud of blood mist erupted from the rapidly spinning sand. When the Earth Giant Lord returned to human form, he was already standing proudly on the altar, holding an ether crystal in his hands, looking down at all living beings.

"Hahoho!!! It's mine! It's all mine! Nobody can take it away from me!"

The Earth Giant Legion, which followed closely behind, also seized the opportunity to swarm in and quickly occupied a large area of ​​the hall.

They wore malicious smiles as they looked at the enemies clad in dark red scales, wanting to see panic and fear on their faces to satisfy their wicked desires.

Unexpectedly, the enemy they encountered had calm faces, some even with fanatical smiles, showing no sign of being at a disadvantage.

Some of the more astute earth giants immediately sensed something was amiss, and even the earth giant lord, after his maniacal laughter, felt the abnormality of the situation.

Just then, heavy footsteps sounded, coming from the tunnel they had entered through.

An immense aura surged in like a tidal wave, causing the earth-elemental magical elements in the environment to scream and flee, intertwining with the air to form wisps of yellowish-brown ribbons.

At that moment, all living beings felt an immense sense of oppression and turned their heads almost simultaneously. A dazzling light shone into their eyes, as if a sun was slowly rising.

The massive red dragon was shrouded in a dreamlike rainbow, with endless light shining through its scales. A four-colored halo hovered behind its head, and as it rotated, the surrounding environment changed accordingly.

A giant earth spirit, located at the very back and still inside the tunnel, was accidentally illuminated by the rainbow light, and the elemental core within its body immediately began to violently tremble.

His hands and feet became unresponsive, and his body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead. He wanted to turn into flying sand and escape, but he couldn't effectively mobilize the magic power within his body.

He could only watch helplessly as the terrifying beast approached step by step, raising its broad claws and crushing him without hesitation, as if it were an ant.

"Welcome, Great Dragon Lord!"

May your radiance shine upon all things like the sun!

A thunderous cheer suddenly erupted, and all the Darkin and their legions wore fanatical smiles.

However, this scene only made the earth giants feel cold and their hearts sink. They realized that they had fallen into a trap.

The ground around them had already been sealed off by the ground-locking cones, and now it was tinged with a faint rainbow light.

Some of the earth giants, unwilling to give up, tried to burrow underground to escape, but they were thrown back as if they had hit a hard steel plate.

With their escape route blocked and a powerful red dragon striding toward the only exit, the fate of the earth giant seemed predetermined, but the leader of the earth giants was unwilling to sit idly by and wait for his doom.

The magical field surrounding the hall could stop ordinary elemental creatures, but it might not be able to stop him. As long as he could burrow underground, with his ability to travel underground, even the most powerful red dragon wouldn't be able to catch him.

However, this would mean abandoning all his subordinates present, but for the inherently selfish Earth Giant, it meant nothing.

The earth giant lord on the altar swayed for a moment before turning back into swirling sand, trying to burrow into the ground.

However, Thor, who was watching him closely, would not give him this opportunity. His wings spread slightly, dragon energy surged, and a storm swirled around him, instantly transforming him into a crimson meteor.

The acceleration from zero to over Mach 10 took less than 0.01 seconds at this moment.

All the creatures that stood in Thor's way suddenly went black, and their bodies exploded like fireworks.

Before the sandstorm that the Earth Giant Lord had transformed into could even touch the ground, a giant claw wrapped in black and red lightning swept fiercely from the side.

The powerful force of the dense dragon-attribute energy forcibly shoved him out of his elemental state, sending him crashing into the wall like a cannonball.

This attack made him feel every part of his body groaning in pain, and a domineering energy surged through his body, causing violent fluctuations in his elemental core.

The once proud elemental lord was now embedded in the stone wall, his face filled with pain, yet he still refused to put down the aether crystal in his hand.

Until the enormous red dragon slowly walked over, stretched out its giant claw and grabbed him along with the surrounding mud and rocks.

"You tiny insect, how dare you steal my treasure? Are you prepared to pay the price?"

Chapter 305 Ten Spirit Gold Jar

Once the only Earth Giant Lord capable of escaping was captured, the outcome of the subsequent battle was no longer in doubt.

One by one, the earth giants and their slaves, under the suppression of Thor's rainbow aura, became lambs to the slaughter. The darkin stripped them of their equipment and put on shackles that symbolized humiliation.

Even the Earth Giant Lord could only watch helplessly as Thor forcibly ripped off his gold and silver ornaments, jade gems, and many other decorations one by one, as if plucking feathers. Even the aether crystal he had just acquired was not spared.

Subsequently, a specially made collar was placed around his neck, signifying his fall from a noble earth giant noble to a lowly slave.

This was undoubtedly the ultimate insult to the Earth Giant Lord, who struggled desperately throughout the entire process, constantly looking for an opportunity to escape.

However, under the dual suppression of the rainbow light domain and dragon attribute energy, he was unable to unleash his elemental transformation ability at all, and his physical strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree compared to Thor's.

If it weren't for the extra layer of security, which was why he was deliberately led into the hall covered by the ground-locking cones, Thor would have been able to capture him the moment he appeared, thanks to his unparalleled speed.

Soon, all the earth giants were imprisoned on the ground, and the various gold and silver jewelry stripped from their bodies piled up into a small mountain.

It's important to know that the Earth Elemental Plane is renowned for its abundant mineral resources, and the Earth Giants are among the most civilized elemental beings there. Coupled with their greedy nature and long lifespan, the wealth they have accumulated is unimaginable.

Since their only pleasure in life is to arouse the envy of their kind, they often wear their most valuable possessions directly on their bodies. Therefore, capturing a giant earth spirit is equivalent to obtaining most of its wealth.

What's even more amazing is that these creatures, as elemental beings, don't need to eat or drink. They can survive indefinitely simply by replenishing their earth element and munching on rocks, making them even better slaves than undead creatures.

All the ordinary earth giants, along with their slaves, were sent by Thor to cultivate the canals. The runic shackles on their bodies restricted most of their abilities, and coupled with the forcibly imposed slave contracts, they had no way to escape.

The remaining earth giant lords, along with a few of the stronger earth giants, were left behind by Thor, who planned to use them to forge a powerful magical item—the magic lamp.

…………

Driven by the red dragon, the towering Doomsday Volcano roared excitedly after a long time, spewing out a continuous stream of geothermal heat that formed a twisted dragon hundreds of meters high in the crater.

A massive obsidian platform floats above the volcanic lava, upon which a triple magic array drawn with molten gold and flaming iron continuously absorbs the volcanic heat, radiating a crimson light.

All the energy converged at the center of the magic circle, forming a blazing white, high-temperature furnace.

Two legendary metal dragons, along with elite members of the Grey Dwarves and Frost Dwarves, stood by, continuously pouring in precious metals such as gold essence, mithril, copper, and flame iron, as well as massive amounts of earth crystals.

If that were all, there would obviously be no need for such a grand display. The real main material was being reverently held atop the head of a dragon-vein kobold resembling a small red dragon. It was a dragon scale that was entirely golden-red, shimmering with a dreamy rainbow light, and resembled a small tower shield.

These are scales from Thor's body, used to forge a vessel that even a legendary elemental giant could not escape.

When the last dragon scale was thrown into the furnace, it remained motionless no matter how high the temperature was.

In the end, it was Thor himself who finally melted it, allowing it to gradually merge with the already boiling molten metal. After it cooled slightly, the legendary metal dragon and dwarves who had been waiting nearby immediately rushed forward, quickly shaping it and engraving intricate magical runes on it.

Not long after, a seemingly simple jar was brought out. It was dark gold all over and inconspicuous. Only by looking closely could one discover the flowing rainbow light.

This is the most crucial item besides the elemental giants when making the magic lamp—the container.

A sufficiently sturdy container can not only strengthen the binding effect on the elemental giants, but also prevent them from being damaged by various accidents, thus preventing the trapped elemental giants from escaping.

The next steps are much simpler; just seal the corresponding elemental giant inside and attach the corresponding contract.

This is a simple matter for most powerful spellcasters; the real challenge lies in capturing an elemental giant.

Made primarily of refined gold and silver, and mixed with Thor scales, the gold jar is undoubtedly tough enough and has a great capacity.

So he simply sealed the Earth Giant Lord, along with the other nine more powerful Earth Giants, inside all at once.

A spiral of rainbow light shot out from the mouth of the jar, and the earth giant's body, which was enveloped by it, began to disintegrate involuntarily. With desperate screams, it was slowly pulled into the jar.

Tiny specks of sand appeared at the bottom of the jar, and by the time all the earth giants had been sucked in, a thick layer had accumulated at the bottom.

…………

Thor played with the final product, a golden jar that would be a large water vat to an ordinary creature, but in his claws it looked like a small wine cup.

This is already a powerful legendary magical item. In addition to being able to summon the earth giant sealed within it to serve you, it has also given rise to various magical abilities due to the large amount of magical power gathered within it.

The holder will automatically gain the abilities of underground travel, rock skin, earth anchoring, and terrain shaping. Even an ordinary person can become a powerful earth spellcaster.

More importantly, near-legendary earth spirit lords are qualified to cast limited wish spells.

Although the wishes it can grant are not very grand, and due to the vicious nature of the earth spirits and the resentment generated after being forced, the wishes are often greatly distorted, they can still play a significant role at certain crucial moments.

However, this thing was of little use to Thor now. After playing with it for a while, he casually tossed it to one of the Darkborn who was waiting below.

Standing less than three meters tall, Verina extended her hands and respectfully accepted the gift from the Dragon Lord. Her long skirt, made of scales and feathers, spread out on the ground like a blooming flower.

She will use the Earth Giant Lord and his nine subordinates to secretly infiltrate the Earth Giant's mountain city and gradually erode their wealth and population from within.

So when the Earth Giant Lord returned, there was now a black-robed figure by his side, never leaving his side.

The other earth giants, though puzzled by their lord's large-scale expedition only to return with a small number of members, dared not inquire or reveal anything due to the strict hierarchy.

Everything seemed to have returned to calm, but beneath the surface, undercurrents were churning.

Chapter 306 The Fourth Ancient Dragon Template

More Darkin and their followers were dispatched by Thor to the Earth Elemental Plane, scattered around the natural cave where the Earth Giant Mountain City is located, and took control of all passages connecting to the outside world.
