Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich - Chapter 802

Chapter 802: Anxiety

Translator: imperfectluck  Editor: Kurisu

I had been to countless dimensions before, including the upper planes filled with positive energy and Holy Light, as well as the distorted and chaotic lower planes. I wouldn’t know which plane left me with the deepest impression as a suitable vacation spot, but the most unsuitable plane of all for vacationers or to live in would absolutely have to be the Fire Elemental Plane.

Not only was the air scorching hot, it also contained toxins. Additionally, I was attacked six times after walking around for less than ten minutes. I was attacked by a tremendous berserk fire demon as well as low-level fire elemental creatures that I could crush quite easily. These monsters would always unhesitatingly attack you the moment that they saw you. The only difference between them was the sound they made when they attacked.

They would always forcibly attack if they felt they could win. If they felt they were losing, then they would simply self-destruct. The fire elemental creatures here were far more berserk and disgusting to deal with than those in the mortal plane.

“Is there an end to this? They’re just like cockroaches. I have to stomp out every one that I meet. This is so tiring.”

I began to complain as I felt like we were making zero progress.

“…We’ll probably be able to walk significantly faster if you retract your personal domain…”

“What? Turn off the air conditioning? Never. I’d rather fight through all these mobs than die from heat stroke.”

The air outside was scorching and toxic, yet the air around me was cool and refreshing. There was even some faint snowfall above my head. As I was a truth-level ice archmage (self-proscribed), it would be truly sad if I was unable to even change the environment around me.

Moti was freeloading off of my air conditioning, and he clearly felt it was quite comfortable, yet he kept trying to convince me to cancel my ice domain.

“…Master Roland, if you summon such a powerful ice domain in the Fire Elemental Plane, well, I apologize for previously underestimating your magic abilities. However, doing this is a challenge to all fire elemental creatures here. We should…”

I waved my hand and interrupted him while smiling and glancing at the sky. A red crow covered in magma was flying in circles above my head. This energy level indicated that I had finally met an Elemental Lord level existence.

“He’s finally here. It’s far more effective to ask a guide rather than having to walk around without a clue. Elemental Lords should know where their God is. Yep, I’m certain that he’ll tell me.”

10 minutes later, a certain fiery bird had become incredibly obedient as it flew through the sulfuric smelling sky as I comfortably rested on its body and observed the scenery below.

However, half of the fiery bird’s body was dripping with ice shards. Its wings were also shivering pitifully. It seemed as if it was about to suddenly fall out of the sky.

“…Did I go overboard?”

“It’s fine. In this dimension, as long as the fire elemental creature doesn’t die, it will quickly recover no matter how serious the injury.”

The silly cat was on my head as always. Although she was still in her black cat form, she had transformed into this form rather than sending a clone, which I didn’t understand.

“…Weren’t you really busy?”

“I can’t rest assured about your matters here.”

“Ha, what’s there to not be assured about? If I can win, then I’ll fight. If I can’t win, then I’ll run together with Elisa. My personal Hell world might be destroyed now, but I’m still quite confident in my ability to keep myself alive.”

Although I still wasn’t very used to the silly cat’s expression, she definitely glared at me right now. She even started grinding her claws on my head. Just how had I made her angry again?

“…I can’t rest assured precisely because you’re thinking this…”

She sighed yet again with an expression like I was an unsalvageable idiot. Even though she was just a cat, she dared to look down on me?

Just as I was thinking about if I should give her cat food and milk, or throw her high up in the air again, the scenery before me finally changed.

I no longer saw only bright red. The pitch-black Dimensional Door in the distance was quite attention-grabbing. The familiar power of Chaos meant that this was doubtlessly another portal leading to the Chaos Abyss.

I saw tiny black dots and red dots clashing against each other on the ground. Obviously, this was a battlefield where demons and fire elemental creatures were fighting against each other. I could also faintly detect several hundred existences who had high magic power. These were Elemental Lords and powerful demons fighting against each other.

Evidently, we had just arrived at yet another battlefield. The battle here was quite fierce as well.

Judging from the black dots and red dots approaching us, we would have company quite soon. At such a time, I had no desire to waste any time with a meaningless battle.

Meaningless? Demons were uncountable in number. Even though Karwenz was the youngest Demon Main God, he would still have an astronomical number of demons serving under him. Karwenz had yet to use his main forces in the previous battles. It would be impossible to calculate the strength of his overall demon forces, but it was a definite that they wouldn’t be beaten in any short amount of time.

The Fire Elemental Plane had a similarly uncountable army. Fire elemental creatures would recover from their injuries incredibly swiftly as long as they didn’t die. Even if they died, they would be reborn rather quickly as well.

I was becoming even more confused. Attacking an Elemental Plane would itself be a meaningless action. If I was Karwenz, I would directly just lead an ambush squadron of a few Main God level individuals for a kidnapping mission, which would be far more effective than trying to kidnap Elisa by launching a direct full-scale frontal assault.

What confused me even more was that very few elemental and demonic existences here felt like they would be a threat to me. There were no powerful Gods or Main God level existences on this battlefield. If it was only this level, Elisa wouldn’t even need to personally deal with such a problem.

I originally thought that Karwenz would invest sufficient elites and powerful individuals in this battle. Although the demons down below couldn’t be called weak, there was still an evident difference between them and the top-level strength that I expected.

I casually summoned a blizzard upon a fire dragon that was viciously waving its claws too close to me. I then explosively released magic power that far surpassed what a Saint Rank would be capable of, so that I could get rid of the annoying pests who were looking at me with unfriendly gazes.

30 seconds later, my magic explosion attracted a certain someone’s attention as I expected. A familiar and nostalgic magic wavelength rose up from the nearby volcanoes.

This bright red magic wavelength transformed into a tidal wave that swept over the entire battlefield. Even Demon Lords lowered their proud heads in the areas where the tidal wave touched. The Elemental Lords who came into contact with the tidal wave had their combat strength more than doubled.

Compared to what I remembered, this magic wavelength was far stronger, to the point where it was the difference between a lantern light and the sun. In fact, Elisa was now far stronger than Emordilorcan from back in the day. Perhaps this was the true strength that an Elemental God should have possessed.

Just as I had expected, Fire Elemental Goddess Elisa was incredibly strong.

I knew that I had achieved my objective. Elisa, the ruler of this dimension, had noticed my arrival and sent me an invitation.

“Moti, you should go back and focus on your own work. I’ll report to the Truth Symposium about you, rest assured and wait for news.”

I changed my mind about riding a flying fire bird, as it would be faster for me to fly such a distance by myself.

I directly had that fire bird take Moti back while I flew towards the volcanoes that sent me the invitation. However, the silly cat on my head seemed like she no longer wanted to act like a mascot character.

“…Roland.”

“I know. No need to say anything. At least let me meet her first.”
