Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord - Chapter 259 - 259 The Deal

259 The Deal

No matter how Su Wan called for his help, Xu Yuan stayed in the back row. He had no intention of making a move.

‘What kind of joke is this? If I interfere, I won’t get experience points!’

Besides, Xu Yuan couldn’t just pop up every time when they needed him. The four Lords needed to learn to get stronger.

“Is it because you cannot deal with such chaos alone?” said Zhao Qingrong. She was teasing Su Wan.

“Get lost!” Su Wan’s face turned red. “If you want to blabber uselessly, just go back to your territory!”

“You asked him so nicely, too. It seems you know how to convince your hero to do stuff for you” said Shi Linglong with a smirk.

Xu Yuan’s face darkened. He was a little embarrassed. ‘Why are girls so bold nowadays?’

The battle continued. The speed and strength of the creatures declined. The magic puppets were finally dealt with.

They had temporarily won against the creatures. The giant lizards collected the Fire Elemental Cores.

Everyone was so tired that they didn’t even want to talk. Shi Linglong and the other Lords were exhausted.

The heroes were drained as well. They were also a little envious of Xu Yuan. He had a beautiful Lord like Su Wan who constantly asked for his advice. He wasn’t ordered around by his Lord like they were.

Su Wan looked at the corpses of the magic puppets on the ground. There were numerous gems around them. Although they were all exhausted, the sight of the gems raised their spirits.

They had obtained around 360 Fire Elemental Cores from the Fire Elementals Lifeforms. These cores were very rare and useful. They could be used to strengthen equipment and weapons. The gems dropped by the magic puppets were also very precious.

Even if they ended their exploration here, the harvest would be enough to sustain them for a while. Su Wan’s lips curled up into a smile.

She opened the map to take a look. They only needed to pass through the building to reach the warehouse of Arcana Hall. This made her extremely excited.

At any level, the mythical ruin provided them with a bountiful harvest. They could get rich!

Su Wan wondered what kind of treasure could be found in the main sect, which was the most dangerous of all. It was a pity that they did not have the strength to explore it now.

However, considering the rewards they had obtained today, it wasn’t a bad idea to end their exploration here for now.

Even the safest area had a monster like the Fire Elemental Lord sealed in its depths. The other doors would have unimaginable dangers. They planned to continue exploring the area gradually.

Right then, a sound rang out from the smelting room.

“I’m the Lord of the Fire Elemental Plane. I wish to speak with the great Demon Dragon!”

It had been imprisoned by the mages for 100,000 years. The mages of the Magic Tower had fallen in the battle of the gods. Still, the Fire Elemental Lord was unable to escape.

“If Your Majesty, the Dark Demon Dragon, can help me escape, I can give a generous reward.”

Xu Yuan raised his head. He knew about the situation from the True Eye of the Demon Dragon. So, he remained attentive.

Su Wan looked at the smelting room that was emitting flames. Su Wan was surprised. Even something as terrifying as that was down to negotiating certain terms!

A notification appeared in her mind.

[Triggered an emergency request from the Fire Elemental Lord.]

[A hundred thousand years ago, a mage of the Legendary level entered the Fire Elemental Plane and imprisoned the Fire Elemental Lord. He brought it back to the Magic Tower and sealed it in one of the furnaces. The Magic Tower fell, and the mages were killed in the Battle of the Gods. The Fire Elemental Lord waited to ask for help to free himself from his prison.]

[Note: there is no fixed reward. The reward could be anything.]

Su Wan’s eyes lit up. So, this was an emergency…

A Fire Elemental Lord trapped for a hundred thousand years could provide something wonderful.

“Xu Yuan, hurry and help him. If you can grant someone freedom after a hundred thousand years, it’s a kind thing to do,” she said.

Su Wan made it seem like she was very sympathetic toward the creature’s plight. In reality, she just coveted the reward.

Xu Yuan was speechless. It seemed he had underestimated Su Wan. She was even more greedy than him.

“I can help you,” said Xu Yuan. “But I need to know you are sincere about this.” His voice traveled to the smelting room. They could hear chains rattling.

A moment later, the dim light shone in the smelting room yet again, followed by a voice. “Please let me approach. Don’t attack. I will only negotiate with the Dark demon Dragon and no one else.”

The Fire Elemental Lord approached from the passageway. The temperature began to increase again. Xu Yuan activated the True Eye of the Demon Dragon, but he didn’t find anything unusual. He stared at the approaching Fire Elemental Lord.

If it made the slightest move, X Yuan would kill him.

Xu Yuan was curious. ‘What will it offer in exchange for freedom?’

The Fire Elemental Lord walked out of the passage and looked at the human Lords. Its gaze then locked onto Xu Yuan. It had never thought it would seek help from the damned Dark-Types in its life!

However, a hundred thousand years was a long time. It couldn’t bear the imprisonment anymore. The emptiness and loneliness attacked its sanity. It would do anything to be free.

The seal of the Magic Tower was terrifying. Even after a hundred thousand years, it didn’t show any sign of weakening.

These humans leading the troops were the first people it had met in so long. It had planned to capture the humans and possess them. However, Xu Yuan was stronger than all of them combined.

Perhaps the Fire Elemental Lord could fight Xu Yuan, but its power had been limited by the seal of the Magic Tower.

The Fire Elemental Lord did not want to remain imprisoned for another hundred thousand years. It missed its pane. It needed freedom, no matter the cost.

When the Fire Elemental Lord reached them, they saw what it truly looked like. Su Wan instinctively moved near Xu Yuan’s side.

Its body seemed translucent but terrifying flames burned on it. Even from a little distance away, they could feel the intense heat.

When the Fire Elemental Lifeforms had died, their bodies had condensed into Fire Elemental Cores. The creature that was in front of them might have an even more potent core.
