Elemental Prison

The moment he answered the summons, Xiao Yu was already prepared to immediately engage in battle. The fact that such a person could summon him with such precious materials meant the situation was clearly extremely urgent; otherwise, it would be impossible to summon two powerful elemental creatures so quickly. He wouldn't be surprised even if he opened his eyes to find himself facing an entire Legion of Abyss demons or a dozen dragons. However, after the teleportation was complete, he was still stunned. Not because there were too many enemies around, but because, quite the opposite, there wasn't a single enemy in sight.

The surroundings were quiet; there wasn't a single enemy in sight. There were no ferocious adventurers or terrifying monsters, only a slightly dim, crystalline blue light illuminating the environment. The blue light emanated from the walls, and he quickly surveyed his surroundings using it.

At this moment, he was in a grand hall, surrounded by a square dome. Four energy pillars encircled him, and between the energy pillars was a blue, semi-transparent barrier—a magic-suppressing barrier!

He suddenly recognized what the surrounding shield was; it was the first time he had ever seen such a legendary contraption. Before he could even take any action—

Dimensional Shackles! A beam of white light suddenly struck him. This was an advanced skill of Dimensional Anchor. Unlike Dimensional Anchor, which has a limited duration, this Dimensional Shackles applied, unless someone Dispel the spell or the caster actively removed it. During this time, he would be unable to return to the Elemental Plane —even if the summoning time was up.

"What does this mean!" Xiao Yu suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Wow, wow, wow! Look what we summoned this time, a red Water Elemental, that's quite something." A slightly languid voice rang out outside the cage. Xiao Yu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a slender red figure outside the barrier. It was a beautiful Blood Elf woman wearing a red robe. The fiery red robe accentuated her slender and graceful figure, and her long red hair was casually draped behind her. Her beauty was absolutely stunning. Even in the Sky World, where beauties were everywhere, Xiao Yu couldn't help but be amazed.

However, Xiao Yu was not happy because the other party was a beautiful woman. Instead, he suddenly had an uneasy feeling because the Blood Elf did not have the Horde insignia and was actually a BOSS.

Leah Bloodmoon (Great Elementalist), a level 45 high-level boss.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Blood Elf, it was you who summoned me! Speak, why did you summon me here? And what is this ridiculous prison all about!"

The Blood Elf smiled alluringly, "Don't be in such a hurry. You can't leave now anyway, so just stay here and you'll find out soon enough."

After saying that, he immediately released the summons, but due to the Dimensional Shackles, Xiao Yu remained in the Prime Material Plane and could not leave.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Foolish mortal, do you really think this ridiculous cage can imprison me? Great Water Elemental Prince Azathoth of Water, your naiveté is truly laughable!"

He spoke with an air of dominance, but inwardly he felt increasingly uncertain. Good heavens, what kind of development was this? Was he going to play a game of imprisonment with me? If he were a demon, it might be possible; he'd heard that many Warlock enjoyed this kind of thing. But the problem was that he was an elemental being, clearly with other ulterior motives.

He tried firing a Frostfire Bolt at the wall, but it was absorbed instantly.

Leah Bloodmoon (High Elementalist): "It's useless. This is a wall of anti-magic. No elemental damage can destroy it. On the contrary, your attacks can even charge the anti-magic prison. The more you attack, the stronger the wall of anti-magic becomes. It's specifically designed to deal with elemental creatures like you. How about it, aren't you feeling honored?"

As she spoke, she walked towards an empty magic-suppressing cage next to Xiao Yu and began her summoning.

This time, however, she summoned a Spirit of Storm —a very rare wind elemental creature. Like Xiao Yu, the Spirit of Storm appeared and then shouted around in confusion. However, the Blood Elf completely ignored it. She cast two more summoning spells, summoning a clay golem and a water sprite, both of which were imprisoned in a magic-suppressing cage before leaving.

As soon as Leah Bloodmoon left, Xiao Yu immediately summoned two fire elemental minions and then bombarded the anti-magic wall with Fire Bolt and Frostfire Bolt. Although Leah Bloodmoon said that the anti-magic wall could not be destroyed by magic, Xiao Yu was not one to believe it so easily. Moreover, if his attacks could indeed charge the anti-magic wall, it meant that the anti-magic wall had an energy storage core. As long as the injected energy exceeded the energy core's storage limit, the anti-magic wall could be overloaded.

However, after bombarding the anti-magic wall for a long time, it seemed to have no effect other than making the surrounding blue light curtain brighter. Just as he was getting annoyed, a voice suddenly rang out behind Xiao Yu.

"It's useless. I've already tried it. The energy storage capacity of this anti-magic wall is far beyond imagination. Unless you're a skeleton-level elemental creature, there's no way to overload it."

Xiao Yu turned around and saw that right next to his cage was another cage, which contained an elite fire elemental, Fester (a fire vengeful spirit).

Looking further ahead, there were rows and rows of these magic-suppressing cages, some empty, some containing elemental creatures, including many high-level elemental creatures of BOSS caliber.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Are you a player?"

The reason for asking this question is that fire elementals and Water Elemental have always been sworn enemies, basically fighting whenever they meet. Even if they were both in trouble, Xiao Yu didn't think a fire elemental would take the initiative to start a fight. But it's different for players; they don't care about such things.

Fester (the Flame Wraith): "Unfortunately, yes."

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "What on earth is going on?"

Fester (Flame Wraith): "It's simple, we got tricked. This hall is clearly part of a dungeon, where a bunch of perverted Warlock are conducting some weird experiments. These experiments require elemental creatures as test subjects, and among them happens to be a group of very wealthy elementalists who are willing to spend huge amounts of expensive materials to Summon Elemental Creature. So, we greedy guys fell for it and ended up locked up here."

Xiao Yu thought to himself that he was one of those greedy guys too, so what was with all this nonsense? Did summoned creatures have no human rights?

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "How long have you been imprisoned?"

Fester (Flame Wraith): "It's been a week. I log on every now and then, hoping they'll kill me in their experiments so I can go back to the Elemental Plane. But it's been a week and it still hasn't been my turn. If it weren't for the fact that this character is already at the Elite level and I don't want to give it up, I would have deleted the account and started over long ago. But it'll be soon, looks like it'll be my turn today."

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "What kind of experiment are you talking about? Aren't you worried?"

Fester (Flame Wraith): "Who knows what kind of experiment it is? Anyway, it's not going to be anything good. But since I can go back to the Elemental Plane after I die, it doesn't matter. The sooner I die, the sooner I'll be reborn."

Although Fester spoke casually, Xiao Yu always felt there was a hint of unease in his words. He opened the map and looked at its name.

Tower of Amalarui - Elemental Prison.

The Elemental Prison is clearly the name of the area he is in, and the Tower of Amalarui should be the name of this instance. Since the bosses here are Warlock and elementals, it should obviously be a mage tower, and Amalarui is likely the name of the tower's owner.

Amalarui? I think I've heard that name before. Xiao Yu had a vague impression of it, but he couldn't quite place it.

Just then, the main gate to the hall was opened once again.
