The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Moreover, this time, it's not just the two major empires making a move; some second and third-rate forces will also participate, and the number of Eighth-level experts involved may not be small.

Therefore, apart from Qian Yue, the other three don't think much of Dole.

They're just a little curious as to why Qian Yue values him so much.

Furthermore, this time the empire isn't just sending their tier of experts; there are also some Eighth and Ninth-level individuals heading to other locations where evil gods are descending.

This is a continent-wide operation.

Leaving the Glory Empire, they must cross Mount Aiya, a mountain range spanning tens of thousands of miles that separates the Glory Empire from the Southwest Rainforest, making it the culprit for the rainy southwest and the arid northeast of the West Ring Continent. This massive mountain range reaches over 15,000 meters at its highest point, so the five can only fly over it together.

At this moment, the strength of each individual's abilities is revealed.

Ancestor Qian Yue controls a ball of light, effortlessly navigating any altitude, while the other three each display their unique skills.

Jeb is riding a sizable flying alchemical device, resembling a five or six-meter-long crimson firebird. Although it looks small, it flies incredibly fast and has excellent stealth capabilities.

Comps and Gladys are jointly piloting a Seventh-level Wizard Tower.

Comps originally invited Dole and Qian Yue to join them, but both declined, especially Dole, who transformed into a flame, like an inconspicuous spark, and advanced at an extremely high speed, almost overtaking everyone else.

Seeing this, everyone knew that Dole had extremely high attainments in both the fire and wind elements.

The three of them advanced at several times the speed of sound, but without making any noise, quickly traversing Mount Aiya, which ordinary people would find incredibly despairing.

When they flew to the summit, they were already at an altitude of nearly 15,000 meters, surrounded by a vast expanse of white snow. Storms raged, and high-altitude turbulence was extremely severe, making it difficult for magical beasts and birds to survive, but it was nothing to the group.

Especially Dole, the winds had almost no effect on him. Instead, he could blend into the wind, quickly disappearing and reappearing far ahead.

The four were all somewhat surprised, especially Qian Yue. He knew that Dole had first entered the ninth level in the space element, but he didn't expect the wind element to be so close as well. Could it be that he had already entered the ninth level in another element? If he mastered one more, wouldn't he already be a Ninth-level expert?

However, Dole didn't display the signs of a Ninth-level expert, and Qian Yue couldn't discern Dole's true strength.

This kid is going to defy the heavens.

Judging from the way they fly and their abilities, the group seemed similar, with no apparent difference, but in terms of the effectiveness of their flight, Qian Yue and Dole were clearly superior.

Mount Aiya also had many high-level magical beasts, including super-level Ninth-level beasts, but when the five flew over together, even the super-level beasts only let out low roars, not daring to emerge.

No one explained to the magical beasts, no one reported to them; they just flew past in such a grand manner.

Ninth-level experts already stand at the pinnacle of this world, especially with two Ninth-level and three Eighth-level experts traveling together. Who, apart from an empire-level power, could stop them?

After crossing Mount Aiya, the group gradually descended and flew southeast from the mountain peak.

Behind them was an endless expanse of wind and snow, while ahead, after a large patch of wind and snow, hundreds of kilometers away, was an endless expanse of green: the Southeast Rainforest.

Although there are countries in the rainforest, they are all small empires like those in the northwest, and even their civilizations are very backward, because traffic is extremely inconvenient due to the constant rain.

It was precisely because of this that the Great Dark Heaven successfully descended here.

When the news reached the Radiant Empire, the Radiant Empire urgently contacted the other empires and passed the message on.

That's how this situation came about.

Although the evil gods are powerful, some Ninth-level experts are not afraid of them; some even have the idea of hunting gods. Some Eighth or Ninth-level experts who are stuck in their progress have a natural greed for the source of the evil gods.

Inside Comps's Wizard Tower, at the top of the empty tower, in front of the window.

Comps and Gladys looked out the window ahead, where wind and snow swirled. Qian Yue's figure, and Dole's erratic figure in front, made the man and woman frown.

Dole could be discovered by them because he didn't need to hide. If he really hid, even Eighth and Ninth-level experts probably wouldn't be able to find him.

The two exchanged glances, and Comps slowly said, "Gladys, I haven't been out for a long time, and I didn't realize that the empire actually has such talent. Just a clone, and it has such power?"

Gladys is a high-ranking member of the Glory Wizard Alliance and has several students. Her information isn't so limited, but she really doesn't have much information about Dole.

She thought for a moment and said, "Currently, all I know is that this young man is very monstrous, an Eighth-level expert at thirty-two, and his strength is still unfathomable to me. Most importantly, he advanced by observing Vasily's advancement scene. In terms of space ability, he's probably as powerful as Vasily."

Comps was stunned; this was new information to him.

Vasily, although a newly promoted Ninth-level elder, is also very powerful. If Dole is like him and comprehends the rules of space, even if it's only one, it's still terrifying. He thought for a moment and said, "The way of space lies in the fact that it's an unfamiliar field, in its unpredictability. After Vasily entered the ninth level with space, his ability to break through has been greatly improved. Now he's like a super assassin. Nothing can restrain him. If he wants to assassinate someone, he can easily break through to the opponent's presence and then kill them. Although Vasily is a newly promoted Ninth-level expert, in terms of combat power, he's already above most Ninth-level experts. If this Dole is following the same path as him, then it's very terrifying."

Gladys didn't expect Comps to give Dole such a high evaluation.

She shook her head. "It's just one path, not three. It's not that exaggerated. However, looking at his clone, he seems to have a lot of research in the fire element, and he also has research in the rules of the wind element. With such chaotic rules, I don't know what he's trying to do?"

Comps agreed. "Different systems of rules, whether they have complementary functions, greatly reduce the combat power of the ninth level. This young man is really ignorant."

"The wind and fire elements can barely complement each other, but it's best to be of the same element, so this young man probably has some problems with his cultivation direction."

The two of them, in their back-and-forth conversation, labeled Dole as flashy and impractical. After all, the three rules he has currently demonstrated are almost not in the same system. Even if they can amplify each other, they won't amplify much, making people naturally look down on him.

However, the two of them were certain of Dole's hiding ability. Qian Yue's arrangement, allowing Dole to appear last, didn't really concern them.

One is from the Imperial Mage Corps, and the other is from the Glory Wizard Alliance, both with solid backgrounds and extremely high talents, naturally feeling superior. Soon, Dole's excellence seemed insignificant to them.

However, they didn't dare to underestimate an Eighth-level expert at the age of thirty-two, after all, this was just a clone. But in their eyes, Dole was just a rapidly rising Eighth-level expert. If he were to advance to the ninth level in the future, he would only be a weak Ninth-level expert, with little impact.
