Chapter 300: Chapter 300: Recreating an Iconic Scene

While Li Wei was still confused, wondering what the Fire Elemental Lord had meant, countless thoughts were already racing through Stier’s mind.

He had understood the Firebird Garuda’s words, so he knew what Fire Elemental Lord Ragnar was saying.

Li Wei, who didn’t know Elemental Language, had no idea what the Firebird Garuda had just said.

As a result, he was still completely baffled. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

’The importance of knowledge. It can save your life at a critical moment.’

That single sentence from Fire Elemental Lord Ragnar made Stier subconsciously want to eliminate Li Wei.

That way, Fire Elemental Lord Ragnar would have no choice but to pick him.

At the very least, he could guarantee he would survive.

But Li Wei’s strength was also terrifyingly immense.

If he wanted to win, his only option was a sneak attack.

However, just as he was about to make his move, he hesitated.

His hesitation wasn’t about killing Li Wei.

Rather, it was because he had doubts about Fire Elemental Lord Ragnar’s words.

’Is this guy trying to sow discord?’

But this was an open conspiracy. Even if Stier knew the other party was sowing discord and wanted to see the two of them turn on each other and fight to the death, he was powerless to do anything about it.

Fire Elemental Lord Ragnar was too strong.

Even if they joined forces, they couldn’t defeat him.

Although Li Wei didn’t know what Fire Elemental Lord Ragnar was saying, he was on high alert immediately.

He kept a constant watch on Stier’s movements behind him.

Li Wei gazed at the towering Fire Elemental Lord, mentally calculating his chances of escape.

Stier made his move.

He launched a sneak attack on Li Wei.

To ensure his sneak attack succeeded, he used a Magic Scroll to cast an instant spell,

giving Li Wei no time to react.

BOOM!

Flames instantly engulfed Li Wei and the stone platform.

Fire Elemental Lord Ragnar watched this scene with indifference.

As a Fire Elemental Lord, he wasn’t as simple-minded as most humans believed.

On the contrary, he had lived for over a thousand years and witnessed countless instances of human depravity.

’What gives humans the confidence to believe that a powerful being who has lived for over a millennium is less intelligent than they are?’

Ragnar was sickened by humanity’s inexplicable sense of intellectual superiority.

Casually sowing discord to watch the two of them kill each other was just a small bit of fun for him.

Entertainment for when he was bored.

Seeing Stier launch a sneak attack on Li Wei, Ragnar sneered inwardly.

’Such foolish humans!’

’Willing to do anything to survive.’

’Truly a vile race.’

’I really don’t understand why the gods would favor such a race.’

A moment later, the flames dissipated. Ragnar’s gaze faltered, and he froze on the spot.

After the flames vanished, the two people on the stone platform were gone.

After a long moment, Ragnar came to his senses and let out a furious roar toward the sky.

’He’d been tricked by humans!’

These two humans hadn’t tried to kill each other at all. Instead, they had put on a show for him, tricking and making a fool of the brilliant Fire Elemental Lord.

RUMBLE!

Fire Elemental Lord Ragnar shot out of the volcano’s crater.

He saw two figures rapidly receding on the distant horizon.

In a fit of rage, Fire Elemental Lord Ragnar immediately took flight and chased after the two of them.

He would drag them both back and torture them viciously.

Their little act made Ragnar feel as if his intelligence had been trampled into the dirt.

He had always been proud of his intellect.

Now, his greatest source of pride had been stomped on.

Fire Elemental Lord Ragnar was consumed by humiliated rage.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The Fire Elemental Lord’s roars echoed from behind them.

Li Wei glanced back and increased his speed.

What Stier had just used was a Blinding Technique.

The true purpose of that Magic Scroll wasn’t to attack at all.

It was for teleportation.

Li Wei had played along, creating a blaze of fire that engulfed them both.

Then, under the cover of the flames, the two of them teleported away from the volcano.

Unfortunately, the teleportation distance wasn’t very far—only a few hundred meters.

The moment they were clear of the volcano, both of them cast a Flying Spell and fled for their lives.

Li Wei cast Fire Escape.

Two burning Demon Wings sprouted from Stier’s back, and his speed surprisingly kept up with Li Wei’s normal flight.

Seeing the Fire Elemental Lord closing in from behind,

Stier shouted, "Split up!"

"Okay!"

Li Wei shouted in reply.

The two of them split up, speeding off in opposite directions.

Seeing this, Fire Elemental Lord Ragnar waved his hands, and two Lava Fireballs shot out in pursuit of Li Wei.

He, however, chased after Stier, as he felt it was Stier who had made a fool of him.

He would capture Stier and torture him mercilessly.

As for Li Wei, if he couldn’t be caught, killing him would suffice.

Stier’s face turned bitter when he saw Fire Elemental Lord Ragnar coming after him.

He cursed inwardly, ’Damn it! Why isn’t he chasing Li Wei?’

Seeing Fire Elemental Lord Ragnar getting closer and closer,

Stier grimaced and tore open another Teleportation Scroll.

A flash of silver light shone, and he vanished on the spot.

Fire Elemental Lord Ragnar glanced around before chasing off in a certain direction.

Stier had created some distance, but it wasn’t nearly enough.

Fire Elemental Lord Ragnar had still managed to find him.

Li Wei looked back and saw two massive Lava Fireballs flying toward him.

He hurriedly shot his own Fireballs, trying to destroy the two massive Lava Fireballs.

Unexpectedly, as his Fireballs got close, they were simply swallowed up, having no effect at all.

This was an attack from a Tier Six Elemental Lord.

It was incredibly difficult to neutralize.

Seeing this, Li Wei simply accelerated.

"Fire Escape!"

His entire body underwent Elementalization.

Flames erupted from his back.

He accelerated in an instant.

Transforming into a streak of fire, he shot into the distance.

The Lava Fireballs chased Li Wei for a few seconds before losing their target and falling to the ground.

They exploded on impact, carving out two giant craters and obliterating any Magic Beasts caught in the blast.

’I shook them off. *Phew*...’

Li Wei glanced back, and upon seeing he’d lost the Lava Fireballs, he quickly slowed down.

Suddenly, he felt a wave of heat from above.

Looking up, he saw a Fire Cloud slowly descending over his head.

A massive head lowered itself from the Fire Cloud, its enormous, burning eyes staring down at Li Wei.

Li Wei’s gaze froze, and a shudder ran through his body.

’Firebird Garuda!’

’Shit, how did I run into this thing?’

The Firebird Garuda had seen something rapidly approaching from behind.

It was moving even faster than itself, so it had stopped out of curiosity to investigate,

only to discover it was a human who had undergone Elementalization.

"An interesting human."

Just as Li Wei was about to flee,

an invisible Power from all around him locked his body in place.

The Firebird Garuda seized Li Wei and flew toward the depths of the Fire Element Secret Realm.

Li Wei had a very bad feeling about this.

’Thinking back, this seems to be the second time I’ve been snatched up by a bird.’

’Oh, wait, last time it wasn’t a bird. It was a Hand and Foot Winged Dragon.’

’Neither experience was pleasant.’

Li Wei wondered if he was somehow jinxed when it came to the sky.

’Why is it that every time I fly at full speed, I get snatched by a bird?’

’And the kind I can’t even fight back against, at that.’

As the Firebird Garuda carried Li Wei swiftly across the Fire Elemental Plane, Li Wei discovered that this plane wasn’t actually devoid of plant life.

He saw a forest of burning trees, their leaves made of pure flame.

After flying over a river of fire, the Firebird Garuda brought Li Wei into a land of searing flames.

The temperature here was astonishingly high.

The intense heat baked Li Wei, making him dizzy and lightheaded.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before the Firebird Garuda dropped him in a rocky nest.

Li Wei recovered his Power, and his Invisible Armor materialized to block out the intense heat.

This was the only reason he wasn’t roasted to a crisp.
