Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord

268 Lin Yao’s New Profession

The flames were everywhere, but they did not harm the troops.

The flames enveloped Lin Yao completely. She didn’t feel the heat of the flames around her because they turned into energy and flowed into her body.

Every cell in her body devoured this energy. She could feel her strength and power soar. Numerous images flashed in her mind.

The blurry figure of the mage stood in the holy fire, facing the army of hundreds and thousands of demons. She waved her staff, and a terrifying sandstorm swept across the sky. Numerous troops at the front were destroyed. One person against a thousand!

!!

Another image showed her a towering city. The mages shone with yellowish light. The sand bubbled up and swept down and drowned the entire city.

As the terrifying images flashed past in her mind, they taught Lin Yao how to control her magic. She learned the secret to controlling the yellow sand.

The boundless energy that the Fire Elemental Lord offered her triggered the power hidden deep within her.

Lin Yao’s mind absorbed everything she saw. She gained immense knowledge about the essence of magic. She heard a notification appear in her mind.

[Your profession has been changed to that of a rare Sacred Fire Mage. Profession compatibility: 98%. Talent: Flame Dominator.]

[Note: Please maintain sufficient energy. If you lack energy, you will fail to advance.]

Lin Yao took a few deep breaths to calm herself. She couldn’t control her excitement. She closed her eyes and let her body devour the energy to awaken the magic.

The Fire Elemental Lord had accumulated an enormous amount of energy over countless years. The mages had imprisoned it here to smelt magic materials and create magic puppets.

Every day, it accumulated a portion of its strength. However, when the Magic Tower fell, it had no other way in which it could spend that energy and strength, so it kept accumulating.

The speed at which Lin Yao’s body absorbed the energy was astonishing. She was like a sea vortex that pulled everything in. The flames obeyed and rushed to her.

Lin Yao didn’t know how much time had passed. It felt like an instant, but also longer than a century from all that she had seen.

She felt the increase in her magic and strength. Her body gradually began to calm down.

Xu Yuan saw that Su Wan was envious. “Don’t worry. I will find a better class for you. Besides, a Sacred Fire Mage is not a suitable profession for you.”

The Sacred Fire Mages weren’t very strong. Many other mythical professions were a hundred times stronger than Sacred Fire Mages!

Who would have thought that they would gain so much from exploring the ruins?

The Fire Elemental Lord sensed the change in Lin Yao’s aura and slowly reduced the flames. The crystal floated down and returned to Su Wan.

A red gem that was twice the size of the other Fire Elemental Cores broke through the void and fell in front of Su Wan.

“Take this,” said the Fire Elemental Lord. “Whenever you need help, hold it and shout my name: Ragnaros. I will be there to help you at all costs.”

Su Wan held the red gem in her hand and looked at the Fire Elemental Lord with gratitude. She couldn’t help wondering how powerful she could be if she could recruit the Fire Elemental Lord into her troops. It was a pity the creature wasn’t willing to submit to humans.

However, this was better than nothing. Perhaps she could make more deals with the Fire Elemental Lord in the future.

There were many benefits to making an acquaintance with someone from a different plane. For example, it opened up a possibility for cross-plane trade.

‘Should I ask Xu Yuan to talk to it about that?’

Su Wan wondered who was stronger of the two of them.

Boom!

They heard an explosion. It startled everyone. They turned to look at the passageway to the main hall. Countless cracks spread out on the wall like a spider web, and the dark blue magic runes exploded.

The passage was going to collapse! The Fire Elemental Lord also sensed it and waved his hand. Countless flames surged and crackled.

The heat melted everything, even the walls. Then the flames condensed into a Dimensional Portal.

“This portal will directly lead you outside. You need to leave. This place is going to collapse,” said the Fire Elemental Lord.

The troops made their way to the portal. Xu Yuan was the last. He stepped on the portal and turned back. “Ragnaros, I hope I can see you again.”

The fiery creature nodded. The flames gathered and sputtered. The walls and the passage were gone. Only raging flames were visible.

The last thing Xu Yuan saw was the Fire Elemental Lord becoming one with the flames and disappearing from sight.

The world wasn’t as simple as being divided into the Dark and the Light. There were so many creatures, planes, and identities yet to be discovered.

They were all deposited outside the door into the main hall. They stood in front of the small gate with the pot-bellied mage’s statue as though nothing remarkable had ever happened here.

However, they knew that if they stepped into that door, they would be greeted by scorching flames that would burn them alive.

Su Wan, Shi Linglong, Zhao Qingrong, and Lin Yao made a list of the things they had gained in their recent encounter.

Lin Yao had obtained a powerful legendary class, the Sacred Fire Mage.

The four friends were happy about each other’s achievements. They knew that one person’s benefit was a good thing for all of them.
