Overlord: Ancient One

Chapter 8: World Travel I



"Seems like your friend has to go first, but don't worry you'll follow him soon." Arthur said mockingly to his opponent, as if reacting to his comment the Element looked pissed as it quickly closed its distance between them and swung down its massive war Hammer of about 5 meters towards Arthur's direction, as its offensive power was so great it made a loud explosion as it hit the ground before the war Hammer could even reach the ground Arthur in his Archdevil form has already changed his location.

But, as if it knew that it didn't hit anything at all other than the ground, the Element lifted his war hammer without even looking at the huge hole it had made on the ground with his Hammer.

The Element tried to look for Arthur as he disappeared from his place when the hammer hit the ground. But as Element tries to find Arthur's figure, noise from its opposite direction suddenly catches its attention as a magic attack comes in its direction.

The Element that was standing from afar, was pierced in its neck from behind by a glowing spear.

"AHHHHHH....." The Element left an angry Roar.

The enraged Element as it immediately rushed towards Arthur.

"Oh geez, don't be a drama queen, that attack didn't even give that much damage" Arthur said with a playful tone.

"GRAAAA!!!"

Suddenly, the element sprinted toward Arthur while still screaming out loud. While it was rushing towards him, Arthur noticed that the eyes of the Element had become crimson red and its Height also increased.

"Is that your Final Form?"

Arthur realized that it must be some sort of power-up. That's natural since this Element is the only remaining one in its group that protected this dungeon.

Arthur doesn't want to fight it up front, he is weak in physical aspect as he was in his Archdevil form so he immediately raises his right hand, opens his palms, and casts a spell in the Element direction.

{Maximize Magic: Frost Nova}

From Arthur's palm, a White magic circle had suddenly appeared and white flames in a circular pattern had come out from it and immediately flew towards the Element direction while freezing the area around it.

When the Element saw this, it immediately positioned its massive war hammer in front to block the incoming attack.

As {Frost Nova} is AOE spell the damage was not concentrated but it was highly effective against the Flame element which is made up of Flame. Arthur specifically learned this spell for his incubus form to smoothly hunt and grind experience in MÚSPELLSHEIM.

After the Element manages to block the {Frost Nova} but when it looks towards the front again, it seems that Arthur was not there anymore.

The Element stopped running to look for Arthur, but before it could even turn its head, Arthur suddenly appeared behind the element. Brandishing his glowing Magically made spear, he shoves it towards its Abdomen region.

"ROOOAAR!!"

The Element was surprised as it was suddenly attacked from behind, but unlike what Arthur thought, that attack wasn't enough to one-shot the power-up Element. The Element immediately gripped its massive war hammer it holds and swung it toward Arthur

Though surprised, Arthur acts immediately to dodge the Hammer as he stomps his foot on the Element's shoulder and launches himself backward to avoid the attack, To distance himself from the Element he uses {life essence} to see the remaining health of Element, seeing less than 5% HP Arthur quickly cast {Frost Prison} spell and trapped the Element in it.

As {Frost Prison} is a trap-type spell its effect is slow but is deadly as long as the target is in the spell range, this is also one of the spells he studied along with {Frost Nova}.

After that, it falls to the ground as its HP reaches zero, then slowly disintegrates into light particles.

{Congratulations! You have slayed the Guardian of the Flame House Dungeon}

When the body was completely gone, a bright flame color orb dropped to the ground.

Arthur picked the orb from the ground and held it in the hand to see its details The orb looks extremely hot but as it is a game he couldn't feel it.

--------------------

{Orb of Flame House}

A Legacy level item, which is given to those players who managed to defeat all Guardian Elements in the Flame House Dungeon.

It is a very useful crafting item, which can be used to make Fire resistant tools.

--------------------

The details of the item were very simple, for everyone else this is a piece of item that can be used for making an item that has flame property.

But for me this is an item which will give me another free slot in my skill {Alternate Ego}.

Collecting his remaining loot Arthur begins to walk to a deeper place of the Flame House Dungeon. After walking for a while he comes across a large door which looks like it's made of lava and in its centre a small hole can be seen which looks perfect for the Orb to fit in.

He placed the {Orb of Flame House} in the middle of the structure as a loud sound emerges as the door opens its way for Arthur to move forward and sees a gigantic dragon who seems like it's made up of flame and its surroundings are entirely covered in golden Lava, upon seeing the site in front of me I awe for a brief moment.
