Chapter 125: Multi Elementalist “Let me try it one more time”, the Darkness Elementalist said. This time, compared to the first time when he struck out, a look of utmost seriousness appeared on his face. When the crowd heard he wanted to try again even after being pushed back the first time, they all focused their attention on him once again. They knew since he wanted to try it once more, it meant the previous attack wasn’t his strongest. For most of the people here, they felt only the Darkness Elementalist could possibly fight these protectors and get the Great Earth Essence Liquid. The Darkness Elementalist’s body fluctuated. The mighty aura of an Origin Plane Elementalist was unleashed from his body, but surprisingly, instead of releasing the aura of someone in the Third stage, the aura he was releasing was on par with those in the peak of the Fourth stage even though he was still clearly in the Third stage. Under the impact of the powerful aura, everyone could feel tremendous pressure. The face of the genius from the Blue Wind empire turned pale from shock. ‘How can he be so strong?’, he looked at the youth ahead in fear. The presence of the Darkness Elementalist had made it extremely difficult for the others who were at the Third stage like himself to obtain the Great Earth Essence Liquid. The difference between their strengths was shocking. From the look of things, he wouldn’t have a problem fighting more than two Third stage Origin Plane Elementalist. The Darkness Elementalist took one step after another, he strode towards the pond confidently. Unlike the time he battled with Grey or Alice and the group, his current demeanor was completely different. Currently, the air of an expert was revolving all around him. This was his true strength! If not for the fact that he was suppressed due to Alice’s perfect timing when attacking and strong attacks, or Klaus and Reynolds’s perfect teamwork, or Grey’s unexpectedly strong physical prowess and terrifying blue flames. He wouldn’t have been put in such a bad position by them. Who was he? He was a peerless genius! Well, until he encountered the freakish four though. Since then, things came crashing down. But now, it was his time to shine once more. He would show everyone here just how strong he truly was! Just as he was nearing the pond, the nine protectors suddenly shone brightly. Each protector moved. They seemed to be adjusting their energy as though they could feel the difference in power of the opponent. The Darkness Elementalist launched his move. Compared to the first time, this move looked simple due to his body language, but it was anything but ordinary. This was an attack that should never be underestimated. Because, the strike contained all three elements he had in his arsenal. Darkness element, lightning element, and fire element. When the crowd saw him wielding all three elements simultaneously, their eyes enlarged into perfect circles. They initially thought he was a Single Elementalist, even then, they didn’t have any hopes of competing with him. But now, he wasn’t even a Dual Elementalist, but a Multi Elementalist. How could someone be this terrifying? “M…Mu…Multi Elementalist!”, a stammering voice was heard from the crowd. Even Grey’s gaze turned intent when he realized the Darkness Elementalist was actually a rare Multi Elementalist. This was the first time he was encountering a Multi Elementalist other himself. Although he had spent a lot of time with Chris, he still had no idea Chris was a Multi Elementalist. There were only a few people who were aware of this. Even though the crowd was stunned by the fact that the Darkness Elementalist was actually a Multi Elementalist, they threw it at the back of their heads for now and focused fully on the protectors. The attack contained three elements, and they were all very close to each other. The three elements were aimed at one of the protectors. As though feeling the attack’s direction, the nine of them instantly wheeled to form a circle and aimed their palms at one of the protectors. For an instant, all the energy had converged in the body of the particular protector. A ray of energy wave rushed out of his head. The protector’s move was pretty mesmerizing, it struck out what looked like a seal, and a huge fire snake roared to life out of it. Roar! Boom! The snake rushed out of the seal and clashed with the attack of the Darkness Elementalist before both attacks exploded out. When the attacks exploded, everyone felt how terrifying both attacks were. Compared to the first attacks both parties used, the power in these ones was like night and day. Those geniuses who were close to the battle felt it hard to breathe and began to hastily retreat. If one got hit directly by such a residual wave, it would surely be fatal, especially for those First stage Origin Plane Elementalist and below who had too little power to counter it. Grey and his group didn’t retreat from their previous location though, they didn’t get too close when the battle was about to start, so the residual wave that got to them was something they could all handle easily. When Alice saw this attack, her heart trembled. “So this is his true strength”, she muttered. She thought she had seen his true strength previously, but it seemed like the situation didn’t allow him to show his full strength at that time. Now that she saw him use this attack, she was left speechless. The way Grey looked at the Darkness Elementalist had taken a turn. ‘Although the attack power isn’t as strong as when I’m in the Fusion State, for him to unleash this sort of strength naturally, is terrifying’, he was left in awe by the strength the Darkness Elementalist just showcased. He couldn’t deny the fact that the Darkness Elementalist was the strongest genius in his generation that he had ever encountered. Grey was almost certain there was no one in the Lunar Academy who was below twenty years of age that could match up to the power this young man just displayed. If he were to find out that because of searching for this treasure the Darkness Elementalist didn’t boost his strength properly in these two months, his evaluation of him would be a notch higher. “He’s strong”, said Reynolds. “Yeah”, Klaus nodded while staring at the clash that was slowly dying down. “But it doesn’t change the fact that we’ll kill him”, he added. “It will make it more worthwhile. It would be a shame if he couldn’t fight back”, Reynolds chuckled. “Yeah. Now, all we have to do is find a way to corner him alone”, Klaus said. His previous plan was to attack the Darkness Elementalist here, but it looked like that plan has been thrown into the garbage, and the garbage was set ablaze. So now, he brought up a new plan! The strength the Darkness Elementalist showed had made both Klaus and Reynolds apprehensive. Now they understood it was because of their flawless teamwork that made it hard for the Darkness Elementalist to attack them. If not for them not giving him a breather, then there was a big chance he might have been able to turn the tides given the strength he just showed. Had he been able to use this attack on them once, then it was unknown who would have retreated from the battle. Who were they kidding? This young man was too strong that their resolve to kill him was even starting to waver. Besides, they were able to save Alice in time and even injured him. That counts as something, right? …… A minute later. The dreadful attack died down completely, and the results of it shocked everyone present. Most of them thought that the Darkness Elementalist’s attack would definitely destroy at least one of the protectors. However, the attack of the Darkness Elementalist didn’t cause any harm to the protectors. Instead, the powerful seal that the snake came out from made the Darkness Elementalist somewhat uncomfortable. “The protectors are truly too powerful! The strength of these nine protectors can perfectly overlap and merge together. Even if I were to tire myself to death from attacking, there’s no way I can break their defense and step into the pond”, the Darkness Elementalist whose face exuded arrogance when he was attacking previously had turned sour. “Not even the Darkness Elementalist is their match. Could it be that there’s no way to break through their defense? Doesn’t that mean that we won’t be able to get the Great Earth Essence Liquid? I believe there are still some benefits in the ancient temple. Will we be leaving this place without obtaining anything” “These protectors are just too strong. It’s extremely difficult to break their defense” Everyone sighed. The feeling of witnessing the existence of the nine drops of Great Earth Essence Liquid but couldn’t obtain it was certainly very painful. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢 Just how powerful was the old man for him to create such protectors? They were even Elemental Warriors to boot! How did he expect them to obtain the treasure with these almost insurmountable mountain he placed in front of it?
