Chapter 297-Alchemy Emperor

Dave had already mastered 4 laws to perfection, leaving only 6 more to complete his mission. He had used up 6 blank law orbs, so he now had 23 left. He calculated that he would only need 18 blank law orbs to accomplish the mission, but the challenge lied in learning new laws while his Ancestral Eyes were still on cooldown.

For now, Dave decided to put that issue aside and focused on preparing for the upcoming intense battle. He urged Flamy and Xegron to be ready.

"Let's go. The enemy will undoubtedly be strong," Dave reminded them, receiving a nod from Xegron while Flamy sneered confidently.

"Heh, even if the enemy is powerful, my flames will extinguish them easily," Flamy boasted. However, his arrogance was swiftly met with a punch to the head from Dave, showing his slight irritation.

"Hmph, it's better for you to take this seriously, or I'll feed you to Xegron," Dave warned. Flamy felt a shiver down his spine, knowing deep within his soul that if he disobeyed his master's command, Dave could compel him to kill himself or prevent him from fighting back if Xegron desired to devour him.

Though Flamy was immortal, the thought of being devoured by Xegron was terrifying. He believed that no one could consume him.

Dave led the group to the next level of the tower.

[Ding! Welcome to the 70th level]

[Mission: Defeat the boss]

[Time Limit: 10 minutes]

[Reward: ???]

Upon arrival, Dave and his companions found themselves in a gloomy location. Numerous furnaces could be seen, and their attention was drawn to an old man stirring a cauldron, as if concocting a potion.

As Dave scanned his adversary, he was astonished to discover that it was merely an Imperial Saint Lord. However, the boss's health was considerably low, while his mana and soul power far surpassed Dave's.

Dave also noticed the title associated with the old man and blurted out in shock, "Alchemy Emperor." Even Flamy, upon seeing the old man, was frightened.

"Holy shit! That old man, how the hell is he here?" Flamy exclaimed, visibly shaken. Dave looked at Flamy with a questioning gaze, prompting an explanation from the fire spirit.

"Master, that old man is the Alchemy Emperor of the high elven race. He may not be strong personally, but in his prime, he commanded a vast army of pill cultivators capable of battling many immortals. I'm not sure why his strength seems weakened now, but he once captured me to refine pills until I escaped during a confrontation with the Demon King of Envy," Flamy revealed.

"I heard he died, but I didn't expect him to be alive and imprisoned here," Flamy added, unaware that he himself had also been locked up previously. All he knew was that he appeared before Dave, with their souls connected as master and servant.

Dave's expression turned serious as he realized that this old man must possess numerous tricks up his sleeve.

The Alchemy Emperor's gaze was fixed on Flamy. "Hehe, what a splendid flame. You shall be mine," the old man declared, waving his hand as thousands of pills floated in the air. He pointed towards Dave and his companions.

"Pill Explosion," the Alchemy Emperor announced, and Dave felt the imminent danger, prompting them to swiftly dodge.

Boom!

The surroundings were instantly reduced to rubble, leaving Dave in shock. "Holy cow," he exclaimed, sensing the destructive force of ten nuclear bombs. If they had been hit, he couldn't fathom the extent of the injuries they would have sustained.

Suddenly, a toxic gas permeated the area, revealing yet another trick from the old man. Dave attempted to dodge, but the gas managed to enter his body. However, Flamy quickly approached and dispelled the toxin.

"Tsk, what a pathetic toxin. I, the mighty flame, fear no such thing," Flamy declared. It was his time to shine, and Dave allowed him to do so, recognizing his usefulness. Despite his resistance to poison, it was better to be safe since they were facing the formidable Alchemy Emperor, fully aware that every boss possessed great strength and formidable backgrounds, much like Ronin, the King of Assassins, and Gabriella, the Archangel.

In the midst of the battle, the Alchemy Emperor showcased his vast array of tricks and knowledge, compensating for his weak physical prowess. He toyed with Dave and his companions, seemingly unstoppable as he hurled countless pills that exploded relentlessly.

Pills of various sizes and colors filled the air, creating a mesmerizing yet dangerous spectacle. The Alchemy Emperor's precise control over these pills allowed him to manipulate their explosions with deadly precision.

Dave, Xegron, and Flamy found themselves in a chaotic dance of evasion, desperately dodging the explosive onslaught. Each pill detonated with tremendous force, sending shockwaves rippling through the area. The ground shook, and debris scattered in all directions.

The Alchemy Emperor's laughter echoed through the battlefield, reveling in his ability to overwhelm his adversaries with his alchemical arsenal. He seemed to have an endless supply of pills at his disposal, creating a constant barrage that tested the limits of Dave's reflexes and endurance.

Dave's sharp instincts and battle experience allowed him to react swiftly, but even he struggled to keep up with the Alchemy Emperor's relentless assault. His sword slashed through the air, attempting to deflect or destroy the incoming pills, but they multiplied faster than he could eliminate them.

Xegron, with his immense strength, smashed the pills with his fists, creating shockwaves that disrupted their trajectory. Yet, the Alchemy Emperor's pill explosions seemed endless, and Xegron's efforts only mitigated the onslaught rather than fully neutralizing it.

Meanwhile, Flamy used his control over fire to create a barrier of intense flames, attempting to incinerate the pills before they could reach their targets. But the Alchemy Emperor's pills were cleverly designed, resistant to flames, and able to withstand the scorching heat.

As the battle raged on, Dave's frustration grew. Despite his mastery over multiple laws and the power of his companions, he found himself outmatched by the Alchemy Emperor's cunning and resourcefulness. The old man's knowledge of alchemy surpassed Dave's expectations, and his ability to manipulate pills to such a degree was nothing short of extraordinary.

Realizing that they couldn't rely solely on brute force, Dave formulated a new strategy. He instructed Flamy to create a wall of flames, effectively blocking the pill explosions and creating a temporary shield. With this momentary respite, Dave activated his law of lightning, channeling its power to enhance his speed and reflexes.

·??m Using his lightning-infused sword, Dave darted through the chaotic battlefield, swiftly striking at the gaps in the Alchemy Emperor's defenses. With each precise strike, he aimed to disrupt the old man's control over the pills and force him into a defensive position.

The Alchemy Emperor, caught off guard by Dave's lightning-infused attacks, struggled to maintain his composure. His pill explosions became erratic, causing unintended chain reactions that threatened his own safety.

Sensing an opportunity, Xegron unleashed his full might, unleashing a flurry of devastating blows upon the Alchemy Emperor. Each punch sent shockwaves through the air, shattering the old man's defensive formations and causing his control over the pills to waver.

Finally, Flamy summoned his fiercest flames, engulfing the Alchemy Emperor in a scorching inferno. The intense heat disrupted his concentration, causing the explosions to falter and lose their coordination.

Seizing the moment, Dave unleashed a final, lightning-infused strike, delivering a decisive blow to the weakened Alchemy Emperor. The old man crumbled to the ground, his arsenal of pills scattered and ineffective.
