Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Shameless Soren
Twenty-five kilometers away in a straight line.
The advancing barbarian suddenly stopped and looked towards his seemingly dazed companion, saying in a deep voice, “Die? What happened? Did you discover something?”
The masked woman, eyes closed as if sensing something, was using a kind of energy similar to mental power. They were one of the few professionists born with the ability of [Telepathy]. After a while, the masked woman opened her eyes, looking towards Soren’s direction, slightly furrowing her brow, and said slowly, “It’s nothing. It just seems like someone has summoned a Demigod Giant, which shouldn’t affect our plan.”
Demigod Giants are the most common divine beings.
Many Legendary-level wizards can summon them; there are many Demigod Giants in the elemental planes, and they respond to many spellcasters’ calls according to ancient contracts. The well-known “Limited Wish” and “Wish” are summoning elemental giants to assist, with Wind Elementals being the most responsive to these types of spells. (Note: “Wish” usually summons a Wind Giant.)
The barbarian nodded slowly and said, “That’s good.”
The two continued walking forward, and soon before them appeared a vast area that was different from others, with very lush plants. There were many natural stone pillars around, and faintly, one could hear the sound of spring water gushing from underground. When the two figures appeared in this clearing, some large monsters also emerged— a group of Claw Terrors that occupied this place. For the two in front of them, the Claw Terrors did not pose a threat at all.
So, in the blink of an eye, several corpses appeared on the ground.
“This is the place.”
The masked woman stopped in the center and said slowly, “This is the best location calculated by Tower Spirit No. 5! We will ambush the Spider Queen here!”
The barbarian looked around and said solemnly, “Understood.”
Then, he took out some strange silver-white metal and left special markings in a concealed corner.
These are the runes of spells, which normally a barbarian with more muscle than brain would not be able to master. The fact that this barbarian could do so indicates that he might have a bit of knowledge from another profession or possesses considerable learning. Either way, it signifies that this barbarian is quite dangerous!

“Hey! Soren.”
The Little Dragon moved to Soren’s back, and the two stood back to back, surrounded by the four summoned Elemental Elders. The little girl’s expression was a bit worried, but there was also a hint of excitement in her eyes as she whispered, “Didn’t you say it would be enough to just fight some small monsters? Why summon such powerful beings all of a sudden!”
Four legendary elemental lives.
Even powerful dragons would feel pressure, especially since the Underdark’s terrain limited her ability to maneuver; even if she couldn’t win, she wouldn’t be able to transform into a dragon and escape the battle.
“A small accident.”
Soren’s expression was quite serious. He stared at the Demigod Wind Giant before him, and after confirming that it had no intention of taking action itself, he calmed down slightly. If the Demigod Wind Giant joined the battle, their chances of winning would be very low. However, dealing with four legendary elemental lives simultaneously put a lot of pressure on Soren. Other adventurers had completed this task by sacrificing many lives, wiping out five teams in total. Though Soren was now stronger, the odds of him handling this alone were also not very high. His only advantage was that he had tricked a dragon into assisting him. While he wasn’t sure of the Little Dragon’s exact power, she could surely share some of the burden.
The little girl seemed eager to try, as the situation made her feel like the protagonist of a legendary story.
The great Brass Dragon Princess and her little sidekick triggered a legendary seal, summoning four powerful Elemental Elders, and after a difficult battle, the princess, along with her little sidekick, emerged victorious.
Yes, yes, yes.
That’s how the story should go.
The little girl was lost in her thoughts, but her combat instinct was sharp. She whispered, “You take on the Earth Elemental Elder and Fire Elemental Elder; let me handle the other two.”
The dragon’s talents are truly remarkable!
With just a glance, the little girl determined the best battle distribution. Soren had extremely high agility, making it easier for him to deal with the Earth Elemental Elder, and the Legendary Curved Blade, Icebane, in his hand was certainly not ordinary, exuding a chilling aura that would make it much easier to contend with the Fire Elemental Elder. As for the other two Elemental Elders, especially the most challenging Wind Elemental Elder, it would naturally be up to the great Brass Dragon Princess, the story’s main protagonist, to handle. This way, her brilliance and martial prowess could shine through.
Right?
Soren hesitated slightly upon hearing this, then said softly, “Understood. Be careful yourself!”
Boom!
As the portal connecting to the elemental plane gradually disappeared, the four Elemental Elders simultaneously launched their attacks.
Surprisingly, the first to act was the slowest, the Earth Elemental Elder. It swung its massive fist directly down onto the ground before it. With a rumbling sound, a sharp stone pillar shot up from the earth, instantly separating Soren and the Little Dragon, who were standing back to back.
Not good!
The intelligence of these Elemental Elders seems quite high.
Elemental lives are different from other life forms; many lower-tier elemental lives might not even possess their own consciousness. However, the Elemental Elders before them were clearly different. At the very moment the battle broke out, they cut through the combat formation of Soren and the Little Dragon, directly separating them so that they couldn’t support each other at any moment. The second to act was the Wind Elemental Elder, and with a howling gale sweeping through, its figure charged straight towards them.
“Soren! I’ll leave the other two to you!”
A faint glimmer emerged in the Little Dragon’s eyes as her petite and delicate form took flight, and she pointed at the Water Elemental Elder before her.
—— “Maze Spell!”
A distorted space appeared.
The Water Elemental Elder’s figure disappeared in an instant, having been sent into a dimensional maze.
At this moment.
The Little Dragon turned her gaze to the Wind Elemental before her. The elemental planes of earth, water, wind, and fire might not seem too different, but in reality, the Wind Elemental Plane was considered the strongest in combat power, as they had once defeated powerful abyss demons. From a combat perspective, Wind Elementals possess incredible speed and destructive power. Moreover, a concerning point is that Wind Elemental Elders generally have strong lightning spell capabilities.
Lord of Storms.
He is a deity with strong divine power in the material plane and a terrifying being that controls lightning and storms.
The elemental domain of wind easily extends to the power of lightning!
Crackling sparks appeared.
The body of the Wind Elemental Lord was charged with jumping electric currents, and with the howling wind passing through, a jumping lightning bolt shot out.
It turned out that the Little Dragon’s judgment was correct.
With spell resistance, she has a distinct advantage against the lightning attack, while Soren found himself in a passive position while enduring the electric shock.
—— “Hide from sight!”
—— “Shadow Leap!”
Faced with the three encroaching Elemental Elders, Soren’s figure instantly vanished from its place.
“Meanie!”
The Little Dragon’s petite and delicate form stiffened for a moment, and she involuntarily felt a tinge of tension, as Soren is a Legendary-level Wanderer. In such a situation, if he were to sneak away, those Elemental Elders would likely not be able to stop him. But she, remaining there, would be in a tragic situation; being besieged by three Elemental Elders wasn’t something to take lightly. Just at the moment Soren’s figure disappeared, the pressure she endured suddenly increased, and she couldn’t help but bite her pink lips, murmuring, “I hope this guy won’t leave me behind!”
Flame, earth, wild wind.
Although she temporarily trapped the Water Elemental Elder with the Maze Spell, facing the powers of three Legendary levels at the same time caused beads of sweat to appear on the Little Dragon’s forehead.
“Why haven’t they attacked yet!”
The Little Dragon bit her lip and took a slight step back, murmuring, “How can I hit when this bastard plays me like this! I’m a girl! He actually treats me as a meat shield!”
“Shameless!!!”
“Scoundrel!!!”
