Chapter 212 The Elemental Plane of Wind
The inner plane is the kingdom of elements.
It is also the place of natural energy and pure elements, in extreme states and conditions, which are the building blocks of the universe and the basic matter and energy in their original form.
If the entire wizard tower is compared to the multiverse, then the inner plane is the elemental pool that provides energy and belongs to the energy place of the entire multiverse.
When the Inner Planes are used as a destination for travelers, they are the most hostile to creatures from the Material Plane.
Unprepared travelers will be extremely helpless in the face of such a powerful force. In the worst case, they will be as easy to extinguish as a candle in a strong wind.
Because this is the place where nothing else is allowed, where existence is reduced to a single substance.
Of all the planes of the multiverse, perhaps no other place is more hostile to mortal life than here.
If you ask an ordinary person about the number of elemental planes, he will probably subconsciously answer 'four' - earth, wind, fire and water.
In fact, there are far more than four.
The inner plane contains all possible elements, not just the most basic ones of earth, wind, fire, and water.
This also includes some side elemental planes (ooze, lava, black ice and smoke) derived from the mixing of the four elements, energy planes (including positive energy and negative energy), and the quasi-elemental planes (vacuum, salt crystals, ash, dust, lightning, steam, radiance, minerals) that link the basic elements and positive and negative energy at the extreme.
Eighteen, not four, is the accurate number of inner planes that have been discovered.
Except for the planes of wind, lightning, and steam, mortals simply cannot breathe safely in any other elemental plane.
In the plane of fire element, the air is unbearably hot and mixed with poisonous wind.
There is no breathable air in the earth elemental plane and water elemental plane. In the smoke side plane, the air is mixed with thick smoke, making people almost suffocated. There is also no air at all in the energy plane.
In short, no matter which plane you go to, it is best for travelers to bring their own food and water.
There are no inns, farms, plants, or game to be found in the Inner Planes unless residents of the Elemental Planes request it.
Of course, a Thor will insist: In our elemental plane of earth, you can find food.
You are right, as long as you can chew rocks or gems like it, otherwise, you should prepare your own lunch.
At least, you can still find something to drink in the water elemental plane...
Under the guidance of the wind djinn, Brian and Messiah emerged from an elemental vortex where the surrounding air shimmered like heat waves. , successfully reached the wind elemental plane.
Although he has arrived at the wind elemental plane many times in search of magic materials, each time it gave him a different shocking effect.
It was difficult for him to describe the scene in the wind elemental plane with words. What he felt at this moment was that he was probably tens of thousands of meters high in the sky, and the earth was so small that it disappeared from his field of vision.
This is what the Elemental Plane of Air looks like: nothing but atmosphere.
It is as open as the eternal sky.
It is as pure as a child's breath.
It is always falling.
The elemental plane of wind is an empty plane, including the sky above and below.
The sea of clouds rolled in waves, expanded into huge thunderstorm clouds, and then dissipated into small groups like cotton candy. The wind pushed and pulled travelers, and rainbows shone in the distance.
This is a world made of dazzling blue, like the sky seen from the top of the highest mountain.
However, its landscape is not uniform. All kinds of creatures shuttle across the endless sky, while other things, mostly from other planes, float around aimlessly.
It may seem peaceful and peaceful, but in fact there is hidden murderous intent everywhere, because the gentle breeze may turn into a roaring storm in an instant, and if you are not careful, you will be killed on the spot.
The most feared things are the storms blown from other planes, including terrible lightning, huge hail, scorching air waves, choking sand and ouroboros. Boundless whirlpool.
However, compared to other elemental planes, the wind elemental plane is the most comfortable and easiest to survive among the inner planes.
The weightless nature, open world, and hospitable environment make the elemental plane of air an ideal place for powerful individuals seeking solitude.
These individuals include wizards and warlocks who want to conduct long-term research without interruption, and priests of various camps fleeing the threats of more dangerous planes.
Even seekers of solitude and contemplation from monasteries and libraries.
Any large piece of rock or ore that is strong enough to support a building is the site of some construction.
It is also home to a wide variety of flying creatures.
In fact, flying creatures have great advantages in this plane. Although flightless travelers can easily survive here, they are at a natural disadvantage.
Natural otherworldly vortices connect the Elemental Plane of Air to the Material Plane, often on mountaintops or in severe weather conditions, such as the eye of a hurricane.
The creatures living in the elemental plane of wind can be divided into two categories.
Wind djinn and other wind elemental creatures are native creatures that live in the sky, and rarely or never set foot in alien plane elemental clusters.
Because this plane is not malicious and can even be called beautiful to some beings, a large number of visitors from other worlds either visit here or establish outposts.
Those alien visitors or elemental creatures who are born flightless often cling to the rocky floating islands floating in the endless sky, and the wind djinn sometimes build palaces and cities on them.
The purpose of Brian and Myrcella's trip is to help the wind djinn Anakos seize the occupied palace from a fire elemental cluster.
No inner plane is composed entirely of a single element.
Over a long period of time, a small part of the elements will be washed away and will inadvertently cross the boundaries between planes and come to other planes.
Until now, elemental clusters of most other elements can still be found in a certain elemental plane, such as earth elemental islands that look like boulders floating in the air elemental plane, and water elemental clusters forming The pond is like a geode on the earth elemental plane, small pieces of lava-like soil are drifting on the fire elemental sea, and ball lightning is also rushing through the water elemental plane.
The clustering of these elements can be of great benefit to travelers: if there is a place to stand, air to breathe, and water to drink, this meets the most basic requirements for survival.
Clusters vary greatly in size and duration, and are said to be sometimes so large that they can accommodate huge cities.
Although the wind elemental plane is full of fatal dangers, under the guidance of the wind djinn, they can always easily avoid storms, lightning, and even some powerful wind elements. The resting place of the lord.
“Every time I come to the alien world, I can’t help but be shocked by these sights.”
Myrcella floats next to Brian, walking side by side with him, brown and red Her long hair was flying and her cloak was flapping, clearly outlining her hidden graceful figure.
Her silver-gray eyes narrowed slightly, looking around the dazzling blue world, she couldn't help but sigh:
"No matter in time or in the span of space, a person is very small. In the long history of the universe and the stars, In front of us, mortals seem insignificant, but if we want to understand the mysteries and the universe, we need enough knowledge that we will never be able to learn it all in our lifetime."
"That's true." Ryan nodded slightly, "In front of the vast starry sky of the universe, life is so short, and human knowledge is very limited. It is so difficult to use such limitations to exhaust the eternal mysteries."
"Precisely because This endless unknown can attract countless seekers, allowing them to embark on the journey of arcana without hesitation."
Myrcella pursed her lips and asked with interest." Brian, tell me the truth, is this the reason why you embarked on the path of arcana?”
"Me?"
Brian couldn't help but be taken aback when asked by this beautiful female lord. He shook his head and dropped his hood, letting the gentle breeze blow by, lifting up his messy hair and speaking casually. Answered in a tone of voice:
"Of course, after all, only a truly wise man can see the insignificance of mortals, the blink of an eye in the world, and even the rotation of life and death among gods."
In fact, Compared to the elemental realm on the inner plane, the material world they were in indeed seemed very small.
Because the main material world is just a plane, and this plane includes many separate worlds like Toril.
A world may be just a planet, or it may be a complete galaxy including planets, satellites, asteroids, comets, and stars.
Each world is sealed in a system of bubble-like crystal walls suspended in an amber fluid called phlogiston.
Some people may know that through a method called magic ship sailing, it is possible to travel across the Phlogiston Sea and from one crystal wall system to another, but this is not the topic here.
In the eyes of the inner plane, the planet Toril, which is located in the material plane and the kingdom of heaven, is as small as a grain in the ocean.
“But in fact it is...”
Myrcella hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Smart people who understand this truth are sometimes more crazy and desperate than ignorant people. In order to break through their small selves in limited time and space, they pursue the truth at all costs."
"When a person sees nothing and doesn't care about anything except these so-called 'truths', he is actually crazy. A madman who has no sense means that he is already pursuing the secret of arcana. On this road, you will be eliminated."
Brian said extremely calmly, "After all, if a person's life is just to pursue the truth and abandon all the people and things worth remembering and worrying about, even if he lives a good life. No matter how long, what’s the point?”
“I think that on the endless journey of arcana, we should enjoy the process rather than being obsessed with the final result.” He thought for a moment. He made the final addition: "The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."
After hearing this sentence, Myrcella stared at him quietly until a moment later, the duchess of Arabel City smiled leisurely and said, This brief conversation ended in silence.
Half an hour later, the wind djinn who was responsible for leading the way finally completed this journey without any danger.
Brian was suspended in mid-air, standing facing the wind, following the sight of the wind djinn.
He found a dark red floating volcano not far away. Through the smoke rising from the crater, he could vaguely see an obsidian castle that was hidden during the period.
Obviously, this is the territory occupied by the wind djinn Anakos.
"This flying castle was originally the castle I first discovered and built thousands of years ago." The djinn said to the two of them in a cold voice:
"It is composed of clusters from the fire elemental plane. Due to the rich fire elemental energy, an elemental vortex leading to the fire elemental plane was created. So after I returned to the castle, I found that it had been occupied by a powerful person. The fire element elder who has reached the legendary realm has taken over. He has too many fire elements, and I am no match for them."
Brian nodded slightly, knowing that he would have a tough battle ahead.
While preparing the spell, his mind was rapidly recalling detailed information about the wind elemental plane.
The wind elemental plane has the following characteristics:
Objective direction gravity.
normal time.
Unlimited size.
Variable form. The element of wind dominates.
Augmented Magic: Spells and spell-like abilities that use, manipulate, or create the element of wind (including those of the wind domain) are enhanced and amplified (as if using the enhance spell and amplify spell , but does not need to occupy a high-level slot). Death Cloud's range is doubled and its damage is increased by half (for creatures not directly killed). Spells and spell-like abilities that have been enhanced and amplified no longer suffer from this benefit.
Hindered Magic: Spells and spell-like abilities that use or create earth elements (including the summoning of earth elementals and outside creatures of the earth subtype) are hindered, including spells of the earth realm. These spells and spell-like abilities can still be used, but a successful spellcasting check is required.
…………
Just when he and Myrcella were preparing to fight, the Wind Djinn took the lead and flew towards the floating volcano, and then stopped at the distance she thought she was.
"Edipoulos, you despicable thief, get out of here!" The cold voice of the wind djinn was carried by the strong wind and swept to the floating volcano.
In the blink of an eye, Brian saw densely packed fire magic bats and a large group of fire elements like torches rising from the crater of the castle.
"Hahaha... The disgraced and defeated general is back again."
A mockery like a fireball exploding resounded through the sky, "Don't worry, this time, I will never show mercy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Brian saw a 20-meter-tall fire elemental elder flying out of the crater with crimson flames burning all over his body.
He carefully discovered that in addition to the bright blue light emitting from the eyes of this fire element elder, faint traces of dark blue fire could also be vaguely seen inside his body that was burning with flames.
Obviously, this dark blue flame represents how profound the power of the law of fire the other party has understood after entering the legendary realm.
"Eh?"
The mocking fire elemental elder's two bright blue eyes like searchlights fell on Brian and Myrcella, and his voice like a fireball burst sounded again, "I said, how dare you? The one who came here to die turned out to be a helper from the two prime matter guys."
"Then I will fulfill your wish," he continued to roar: "Let you be wiped out in the purification of the flames."< br>
“Children, come here, kill them!”
The elder of the fire element waved his flaming arms as if dancing, and dark red fireballs as big as basins were trailing thin The long tail flames smashed towards the three of them with a hissing sound.
At the same time, densely packed fire magic bats were overwhelming, chirping, turning into a scorching wave, and surged up.
Hundreds of large fire elementals, super large fire elementals, giant fire elementals, etc. behind the fire elemental elder also joined the flame wave of the fire magic bat and swarmed forward.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
Faced with the fireball technique that the fire element elder is best at, Myrcella and the wind djinn set up energy protection barriers that were immune to fire element damage. , blocking his endless fireball bombardment.
After all, the wind djinn had already told them in advance that the elders of the fire element had the ability to release fireballs almost endlessly, so they naturally thought of countermeasures in advance.
——"Fifth Ring Spell: Death Cloud Spell!"
Brian hid next to Myrcella, and through the "Arcane Twins" characteristic, he calmly released two large-scale yellow-green patches. The clouds and mist, blown by the strong wind surrounding the djinn, shrouded the group of magic bats.
With the double blessing of the characteristics of the wind elemental plane and the professional characteristic of the War Mage "Spell Expansion", the diameter range of the "Death Cloud Technique" he released instantly changed from 15 meters to 60 meters.
In an instant, all the fire magic bats that came into contact with these two large pieces of yellow-green poisonous mist fell like dumplings and died.
Seeing that the fire magic bat no longer posed any threat, Brian did not relax.
He immediately communicated through his mind and asked Myrcella to help him resist the attack of the fire element elder. He quickly took out a piece of ice and recited a spell quickly.
Although Myrcella is a super magic user in the legendary field, she is proficient in the prophecy system and does not master many spells of the evocation school.
In this case, Bryan naturally acts as the team's main output.
Myrcella smiled slightly and once again injected energy into the energy barrier that was in front of the two of them and was blown to pieces by the fireball of the fire element elder, making it as stable as a solid wall.
Not to be outdone, the wind djinn burst out with bursts of howling wind from its body. All the oncoming fireballs and the lucky magic bats and fire elements that rushed over were all shattered by the wind blade.
——"Seventh Ring Spell: Ice Storm!"
——"Metamagic Expertise: Spells are extremely effective!"
——"Metamagic Expertise: Spells are extremely effective!"
The moment the last syllable of the spell was blurted out, where Brian's staff guided him, a gray lead cloud suddenly condensed in the sky above countless fire elements and fire element elders.
Suddenly, the surrounding temperature dropped suddenly, drizzle fell, and strong winds began to blow.
In the blink of an eye, the clouds in the sky thickened, creating a suffocating pressure. The rain poured down, the air became colder, and the strong wind let out a hair-raising roar.
“Sizzling...”
The fire elements shrouded in rain had thick smoke billowing from their bodies. Although it was not fatal, their natural fear of water made them express disgust and anger. Painful expression.
"Damn material guy, you're looking for death!" The fire element elder roared, obviously aware of the danger.
Although the sudden drop in temperature and heavy rain were evaporated by the flames around him before they even fell on him, he was keenly aware that if this spell was not stopped, its power would Becoming stronger and stronger, threatening his group of fire elemental subordinates.
The fire element elder roared angrily, and his whole body erupted with scorching light.
——"Spell-like ability: Burning Cloud Technique!"
A stream of boiling smoke clouds filled with white-hot ashes, like thousands of horses galloping, condensed towards Brian with an unstoppable momentum. Thick leaden gray clouds swept across.
As a fire element elder who has stepped into the legendary realm, he not only masters fireballs, but also possesses the ability of a high-level warlock to cast spells.
The eighth-level spell "Cloud Burning Technique" is one of the magic-like spells he masters.
When the hot fire cloud swept towards the dark clouds, Myrcella, as a super magic spell user, seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
She stretched out her delicate white palms that exuded a faint spiritual light, concentrated her energy, and felt the magical energy in the air.
At the same time, her mind quickly showed the detailed structure of the eight-ring spell "Cloud Burning Technique" woven by the magic web.
——"Supernatural ability: Seize the magic!"
Myrcella instantly connected her spiritual consciousness to the depths of the magic web, and enveloped the silk threads of the magic web with huge spiritual energy. The "Burning Cloud Technique" was formed, forcibly seizing control of the spell, and actively disbanding the spell.
As the scorching fire cloud disappeared, the fire element elder groaned, and the huge body of flames staggered back a few steps. The scorching flames that erupted around him suddenly converged and returned to their original state.
His bright blue eyes looked in disbelief at the material guy in the distance who had taken away his magic. In a flash of thought, he began to think about retreating.
At this moment, Brian's spell finally condensed and took shape. The terrifying cold wind, frost, rain and snow ruthlessly turned the space around the fire element into an extremely cold realm.
With bursts of cracking sounds, the fire elements shrouded in ice and snow turned into gaseous smoke and dissipated without a trace.
A few powerful super-large fire elements were also harvested in time by the sharp wind blades released by the wind djinn.
"The fire element elder is running away, stop him." Sensing the teleportation fluctuations in the surrounding space, Brian immediately reminded Myrcella beside him.
In fact, Myrcella had already sensed this situation one step ahead of him.
The moment he finished saying this habitually, the fire element elder who was shrouded in teleportation light was forced to stay in place by a space-blocking energy.
——"Seventh Ring Spell: Force Field Prison!"
Brian took the opportunity to sprinkle a handful of diamond powder, and his slender fingers drew afterimages in the void, one by one. A square light blue force field cage was outlined, and under the control of his mind, it fell from the sky, trapping the fire element elder within it.
Then, he made eye contact with Myrcella, and began to prepare his next spell without hesitation.
——"Supernatural ability: Collaborate with super magic!"
Myrcella put her palm on Brian's shoulder, and used the ability of super magic spellcaster to use the super magic expertise spell she had mastered. Instant cast, powerful spell, maximum spell effect, and double cast spells are all used in the spells prepared by Brian.
——"Seventh Ring Spell: Waterspout!"
With the blessing of four metamagic specialties, Brian's staff pointed suddenly at the fire elemental elder who was about to escape, The raging water elemental energy roared out from the ruby on the top of the staff, turning into two dark blue water streams about one meter in diameter, spinning and rushing high into the sky.
Accompanied by thunderous roars, the upward spiraling turbulent water was like a liquid tornado, winding up the frightened 20-meter-tall body of the fire elemental elder into the sky.
Looking around, it looks like two giant dragons transformed from the water element are flying in the sky, playing with a screaming hot fireball.
“Bang! Bang!”
The waterspout lasted for about ten minutes, and the water column suddenly exploded in the sky.
The elder of the fire element had long since given up struggling. He was suspended in the air, his dying body like a flame about to be extinguished by water. Along with his breathing, moist owl smoke rose up.
Of course, Brian completed the last hit without hesitation, took the head of the fire element elder, and successfully gained more than 60,000 experience points.
At the same time, he stretched out his finger, and the elemental crystal core condensed after the death of the fire element elder fell into his palm.
As a fire elemental whose strength has reached the legendary realm, Brian believes that after refining the essence left behind after death, and embedding it on his flaming staff, the quality of the staff can be improved. Promoted to Golden·Legendary.
Next, after they cleaned up the remaining fire elements, they walked straight towards the castle in the crater.
After cleaning the battlefield, the three people appeared in the deepest part of the crater.
Looking at the raging flames swirling with the elements, forming a bottomless passage, Brian immediately saw that this was an elemental vortex leading to the elemental plane.
In fact, he knew about this elemental vortex leading to the fire elemental plane in the game world, and near the vortex of the fire elemental plane, there lived a fireman whose strength reached the legendary realm. Djinn.
Recalling this interesting efreet, he was confident in persuading the other party to go to the material world.
"According to the agreement, we have successfully helped you expel the fire element from the castle." Thinking of this, he looked at the wind djinn, "It's time to fulfill your promise."
Wind The giant spirit Anakos nodded slightly to express her understanding.
"The two of us still need to go to other planes." Seeing her nod, Brian thought for a moment and said to her, "You go back to Arabey's mage tower for the time being."
