Chapter 43

"No! I won’t die! I am the last descendant of the ancient alchemist family and the great lord of the Sky Arena! How can I fall before a brat like you!"

Just as Allen had finished explaining his thoughts on the development of the ability called "alchemic stones," Valensa suddenly sprang up from the ground, materializing all four alchemic stones at once, and then chewed and swallowed them all.

Instantly!

His entire body swelled up like a balloon, and his flesh and blood disintegrated within a few seconds.

Fire and earth merged to create scorching magma!

Wind and water merged to form solid ice!

In less than half a minute, he had transformed into an elemental giant, half of his body made of magma and the other half of ice.

Seeing this, Allen immediately took a few steps back and said with a mocking smile, "You really are impulsive, acting so hastily after just saying it. But is it really okay to abandon your physical form like this? In your current state, once your qi is depleted, you will die immediately."

"It’s fine! As long as I can kill you, I will take all your thoughts according to the contract, including that red dragon. With it, I will have infinite qi." Valensa grinned, revealing his inner thoughts.

After all, the two had already completed the red dragon contract when they registered for the match.

Furthermore, through his observations, he had determined that this young man could make his thought beasts devour others and steal their qi and thought abilities by meeting certain conditions.

The most critical part was the phrase "betting all your thoughts" before signing the contract.

From the literal meaning, it was essentially the victor taking everything from the loser.

"Oh? Not bad! You actually noticed that. But do you know why I always stop just before victory to tell my opponents how to better develop their thought abilities?" Allen asked with a deep meaning.

"Because it’s also one of the prerequisites for you to steal others' thought abilities, right?" Valensa answered without hesitation.

After his elemental transformation, he no longer needed to breathe with his lungs, and the pain on his face disappeared, replaced by confidence.

Because his elemental body had no vital points, as long as the qi in his body was not depleted, any damage, no matter how severe, would heal within seconds.

Allen nodded lightly, "That’s right! But that’s only part of it. The other part is that I like to see my opponents, on the brink of despair, burst with even stronger thoughts through the contract and constraints. This way, I can steal more qi and stronger abilities after winning. So, compared to the substantial rewards, taking a little insignificant risk is nothing. I have always been much stronger than you from the beginning, and I have never shown my true strength in the Sky Arena. What you see and imagine is just the tip of the iceberg of my abilities."

"You are a greedy and arrogant brat! But now, you will pay the price for your arrogance."

With that, Valensa swung his fist, which was like a mass of magma, and slammed it down hard.

Boom!

The scorching magma fist instantly created a large crater in the center of the arena, and the stone slabs and concrete below began to melt under the high temperature, causing the audience to scream in shock at the incredible destructive power.

But the next second...

Allen suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Snap!

A large mass of pale blue liquid air suddenly fell from the sky, hitting Valensa’s half-magma body.

Sizzle—

Instantly, the intense cold froze half of his body, and the scorching magma cooled rapidly, turning into a pile of black rubble.

At the same time, the other half of his body, made of ice, began to melt rapidly under the influence of the qi.

"No! No! No!!!! How can this be!"

Seeing his body rapidly disintegrating, Valensa panicked and desperately tried to use his qi to repair it.

Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain. He could only watch as his body slowly collapsed, leading to his death.

And at the last moment, Allen explained, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you that my ability is not just to turn water into steam, but to change the form of all matter, allowing it to transform between solid, liquid, and gas states. The cold and heat are just the result of the transformation in a normal temperature environment. Finally, thank you for your hard work, helping me complete the elemental transformation. This is a very powerful and extremely dangerous ability, and I definitely wouldn’t have the courage to try it myself. Farewell, Lord."

With the final word, the red dragon, which had swollen to the size of a small yacht, instantly materialized, opened its mouth, and swallowed the last remaining breath of the man.

"How about it? Is the elemental transformation ability he used dangerous?"

"Yes, and very dangerous. Once you undergo elemental transformation, you can never return to your original form. I suggest you don’t use it on yourself directly, but instead create an elemental puppet using materialization and manipulation abilities." The red dragon’s eyes glinted with wisdom, and it suggested in a strangely high-pitched voice.

Clearly, after consuming a certain number of cocoons, it, or rather she, had begun to develop independent intelligence and personality, much like a true guardian dragon of Azeroth.

"Manipulation and materialization abilities?" Allen frowned subconsciously.

These were the two areas he was least skilled in and had not developed much.

"Exactly! You can try using special mediums, such as the Windseeker’s Restraining Skull, the Eye of Sargeras, or the Essence of the Flame King, to create replicas of ancient and powerful elemental lords. Of course, before that, you can use elemental fire, water, earth, and air, along with water essence, fire essence, earth essence, air essence, wind breath, lava core, and scorching core, to create some lower-level elemental creature replicas for practice."

After saying this, the red dragon quickly returned to its invisible state, floating beside its master.

"Using the four alchemic stones as a foundation and elemental materials from dungeons as mediums, creating elemental life by consuming qi is truly a brilliant idea. But before that, I need to steal two materialization and manipulation thought abilities for reference."

Allen’s eyes gleamed, immediately recognizing the feasibility and enormous potential of the direction the red dragon had suggested.

Without even mentioning the nostalgia and excitement of summoning Ragnaros the Firelord and shouting, "Let the flames purify everything," the Wind Prince Andorov was also not bad, capable of throwing people into the air and letting them fall to the ground, turning them into a pile of meat.

For the enemy, facing such an almost invincible existence would be a nightmare.

Most importantly, Allen’s commercial skills as a hunter were mining and engineering, which made it impossible to create powerful weapons like the Windblade and the Orgrim’s Hammer. Using them as mediums to create powerful helpers was a surefire deal.

However, considering the drop rates of the "Eye" and "Windface" and his current progress in Molten Core, it would be more practical to start by creating elemental creatures like the Flame King and Lava Giants from team dungeons.
