Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Core of the Red Wind Calamity

?

Red energy flowed through the air like tangible wind.

This was the Red Wind Disaster, a crimson existence formed by the combination of divine power, magic power, and the force of an ancient god.

From what can be seen so far, it possessed a powerful erosive ability. Those with insufficient strength would be eroded into red crystals by this Red Wind.

As for the original land, it had long since become red crystal.

"I wonder if it can be used as an energy source," Qin Muye mused, as two robust layers of magic shields flowed around him, resisting the Red Wind Calamity.

The first layer was his own, the second was from the magic source.

The consumption was quite large, but he estimated that he could hold on for about three hours; after all, his magic power was truly abundant now.

He relied on his magic shields to isolate himself from the Red Wind Calamity, but Tian Qi and the Evangelical Spirit Monsters were completely unharmed, treating it as if were merely a regular wind.

Each of the Evangelical Spirit Monsters had attached a life link to Qin Muye, sharing any damage with him.

With this safeguard, even if he lost his magic shield, he could still survive in the Red Wind Calamity.

Based on the description provided by Demon Blood about the Divine realm, Qin Muye and Tian Qi quickly arrived at the core depths.

There, a vast basin had formed, spreading abundant red crystals.

And, unlike the fragile crystals on the periphery, the crimson crystals at the core center were exceptionally hard.

"It seems to have become a brand new form of energy? It possesses magic power, divine power, and the power of the original ancient god."

Qin Muye crouched down to observe seriously; through the Magic Eye, he could clearly see that the entire basin was a huge energy ground.

The entire Red Wind Calamity was emanating from this place.

"If it weren't for my magic source, I might not have been able to reach here," Qin Muye realized that his magic power was being continuously extinguished.

"A new type of energy."

As Qin Muye ventured deeper, he soon found a flickering flame, as delicate as crimson, quite weak, barely noticeable amidst the surrounding red crystals without the vision provided by his Magic Eye.

The crimson flame looked exceedingly enchanting, but in Qin Muye's view, it continuously emitted a terrifying crimson might like a storm.

"Strange, this obviously looks like a treasure; why didn't the mages from before take it with them? Not to mention the Divine Seed and divine nature, all left behind here, definitely not easy to mess with."

He didn't believe he was just picking up leftovers. He had reached this place by relying on his magic source, and he didn't believe that the divines and the mages from the Silver Star Alliance wouldn't come back to investigate.

So it must either have gone undiscovered and appeared over the years, or not even the divines and mages could delve deeper into it.

Either way, it indicated that this thing was not to be trifled with, much like the Divine Seed. "As I approached the flame, my magic power burned rapidly. It seems that this new form of energy is not friendly to magic power."

"Not just magic power, but likely elements and divine power as well. What do you think, Tian -Qi?"

Qin Muye had gathered quite a bit of data and then inquired of Tian Qi.

There was silence for a moment before Tian Qi replied, "Master, this flame is very dangerous, or rather, it's not a flame at all but a convergence of energy. Although it's unclear why it has taken the form of a flame, it's highly likely that even the Divine Seed could not disturb it." "If possible, keep as far away from it as you can, because I can feel the flame growing stronger."

Qin Muye agreed with Tian Qi's words. Indeed, this thing was dangerous. He was also aware of its growth. The Red Wind Plain was not originally known by that name.

The outermost layer was a red wind, followed by a red crystalline center, and finally, the core of crimson crystals; all of these proved the expansion of the Crimson Flame.

This clearly pointed to the heart of the Red Wind Calamity.

The Divine Seed must have been aware, but Demon Blood and the others didn't see it on their last visit, obviously misled by the Divine Seed.

At this time, Qin Muye found himself in a dilemma. First, his goal wasn't to eradicate the Red Wind Calamity but to master the Red Wind and use it as a shield for himself.

Moreover, even if he wanted to eradicate it now, he couldn't. The Crimson Flame may seem weak, but if he dared to disturb it, he might turn into a statue made of Crimson Crystal. Unfortunately, the Reconnaissance Skill couldn't detect this thing; it could only scout out enemies unless this thing became his possession or was stored in his inventory. But even so, that wouldn't change the danger it posed.

It's likely that even the Divine Seed couldn't touch it.

This flame must surely be the true legacy of Ancient Gods, Divines, and Great Mages; the Divine Seed is at best a mere scrap. Otherwise, why would the Divine Seed bother to deceive

Qin Muye?

Moreover, Qin Muye guessed that the reason the Divine Seed stayed here was because of the Crimson Flame; otherwise, who would linger in such a remote place?

With the abilities of the Divine Seed, isn't it better for it to blend in among the half-sheep folks to gain their faith than to linger around Qin Muye's territory?

"We can't avoid it, and you should understand, whether it's the expansion of this Crimson Flame or the expansion of our territory, a conflict is inevitable."

"So, we must take the initiative. Otherwise, by the time the annual Red Wind Calamity occurs, it will be too late."

Qin Muye shook his head, saying that if the Calamity had erupted during his initial stage, he wouldn't have worried; the Crimson Flame was strong, but could it be stronger than 'Lord

Era'?

But now it was different. Not only had his new player period passed, but the Adaptation Period had gone by as well, so if the Red Wind Calamity erupted now, it would be

catastrophic.

Perhaps the Lords ranked higher than him on the leaderboard could withstand it, but his small household definitely couldn't. He could only resort to using the Super-Space Transmission Channel to relocate all the Spirit Monsters out of his territory and return after the Red Wind Calamity had passed. But with all the coming and going, even if the buildings in his territory didn't turn into red crystals due to the Red Wind, they would still be damaged.

This was also a significant loss.

Now, the situation was a bit beyond Qin Muye's ability.

"Tian Qi, first collect some of the Crimson Crystals and bring them back to study them further before making a plan," Qin Muye said, left with no other choice but to do so for the time

being.

If he could master this new energy and utilize the Red Wind Calamity, at least protection wouldn't be a significant issue.

There would certainly be difficulties, but he had already faced enough challenges; one more wouldn't make much difference.

'Hopefully, Academic Research will lend some strength-after all, it is an elevated Talent,' he

thought.

When it comes to research, Learning Ability won't be much help, whereas Academic Research as a Talent fits the bill.
