Reborn Flame Soul

The Soul of Alamarui scanned its surroundings and immediately spotted Azathoth, then floated toward him.

Soul of Amalarui (Lost Soul): "It's you? Azathoth? I remember you, but you look different—the Element of Annihilation? I see, haha, I never thought you'd end up like this."

He then looked at Estero.

Soul of Amalarui (Lost Soul): "Is it you who summoned me? Lich, I remember your name, I remember you once ruled this land, but you were later driven away by the Scarlet Crusade."

His gaze then fell upon Agnes.

Soul of Amalarui (Lost Soul): "I see hatred in your eyes. Have we met before? Never mind, don't answer my question. I don't think there's ever been a good relationship between elementals and me."

His gaze finally settled on Leah Bloodmoon.

Soul of Amalarui (Lost Soul): "Ah, my excellent apprentice, I never thought we'd meet again. When was the last time we met? Oh right, I remember now, it was when I asked you to guard the Elemental Prison and hold off the enemy. It seems you didn't do your job very well." As he spoke, he glanced at Azathoth, the Taunt in his tone impossible to conceal.

Leah Bloodmoon (Great Elementalist): "It's also a pleasure to see your respected teacher." Leah Bloodmoon said without changing her expression, in a cheerful tone as if she were truly happy to see him again.

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "I didn't expect Amalarui to be such a chatterbox."

As if sensing his thoughts, Amalarui shook his head slightly.

Soul of Amalarui (Lost Soul): "Please forgive my rambling, but as a soul I've been lonely for far too long. Finally, someone to talk to, it truly moves me."

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Enough with the nonsense, you Amalarui's bastard. You seem like a smart man, and I like dealing with smart people because they know when to let go of hatred, when to be pragmatic, and when not to act impulsively when faced with important choices. And now you are facing such an important choice, a choice that will determine your future."

Two paths lie before you. First, swear allegiance to me, become my subordinate, and help me become Chaos Elemental. I will resurrect you, turning you into a Lich or necromancer or something similar. While your strength will be affected, at least you will regain the power to cast spells. Given time, you will easily become a powerful being, and you will also be able to achieve your goals. Didn't you want to join the Council of Sages? I don't think they would refuse someone who has successfully created a Chaos Elemental, even if he is a Lich or necromancer or something similar."

"Of course, you have a second option: you can refuse my offer. However, I must say that this is not a wise choice, because if you refuse my kindness, my Lich friend will collect your soul and torture you every day. I believe that with a soul as powerful as yours, you can endure this pain for a very long time. This pain will accompany you until your soul dissipates."

"Then, make your choice."

Soul of Amalarui (Lost Soul): "Ah, let me think. To be resurrected as a powerful Lich and obtain everything I've ever dreamed of, or to be captured and tortured to death—hmm, it's truly a difficult choice. Which one should I choose? Hmm, so difficult. Both choices are so alluring. It seems I must think this through carefully."

He wore a pensive expression, sometimes frowning, sometimes gritting his teeth, making onlookers feel conflicted.

Just as Xiao Yu was about to unleash a Fission Orb, Amalarui finally nodded.

Soul of Amalarui (Lost Soul): "Okay, I've thought it through. The first one looks a little better, so I'll choose the first one."

Xiao Yu was speechless. This Amalarui was not only a chatterbox, but also seemed to be a goofball.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "To be honest, humor isn't one of the reasons I admire you. You should be glad I'm not an Elemental Lords, and my tolerance isn't that bad. So, swear an oath to me now."

Soul of Amalarui (Lost Soul): "Of course, by Amalarui's own soul I swear, I will be loyal to Azathoth, assisting him in his great deeds and domination of the world. In the meantime, I will obey his every command until he brings about his own destruction or ends the oath I have made to him."

System notification: You have gained the allegiance of the Soul of Amalarui (the Lost Soul). Do you accept?

Xiao Yu naturally chose to accept.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Resurrect him, Lich! I can't wait!"

As he spoke, he took out water from the Sunwell and handed it to Estero.

Estero took the water from the Sunwell, looking at the bottle in his hand with some regret. This bottle of well water contained powerful magical energy; the golden water looked so dazzling, but it was a pity that it was about to be used.

Estero (Lich): "The resurrection spell requires three things: the soul of the dead, powerful magical materials, and the ashes of the dead. It seems we're still missing one."

The ashes of the deceased? Amalarui was killed in his hybrid elemental form, so strictly speaking, the black slag on the ground is Amalarui's ashes.

Azathoth pointed to the soot-like stuff on the ground, "Isn't that it?"

Estero (Lich): "Okay..."

He poured the water from the Sunwell onto the ground, let the Soul of Amalarui stand on the water, and then began to chant the incantation for Raise Dead.

The spell to Raise Dead is an essential skill for necromancers, but the effects are vastly different. Reviving a human and resurrecting a dragon are obviously not the same level of difficulty; the more powerful the creature, the more powerful the magic required for its resurrection.

Moreover, the Raise Dead is different from the Resurrection; it does not actually bring the dead back to life, but rather turns them into Undead.

Under Estero's control, the golden well water began to mix with the coal ash-like substance on the ground. Then, this strange liquid began to rise slowly, spreading upwards from the spirit's feet, covering his limbs, his body, and his head, gradually enveloping him completely.

Soaked in the waters of the Sunwell, the ashes began to emit a strange, dazzling light. As the light gradually faded, a strange humanoid figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

He looked like Amalarui, except his muscles and body were made of burning rock, and flames burned on his skin. His eyes also shone with fire, and his skin was covered with marks that looked like lava.

Amalarui (Resurrected Flame Soul) is a level 60 skeleton-level boss with 1.13 million health.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Wait a minute, don't tell me this thing is Lich or a necromancer or anything like that, because it looks like an elemental creature!"

Estero (Lich): "Hmm, well, it seems there's been a problem with the resurrection ritual. To be honest, I've never resurrected such a powerful soul before, nor have I ever used such a high-end material as the water from the Sunwell, so—"

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "So you mean you just mess around with things and expect to create what you want?"

Amalarui (Resurrected Flame Spirit): "You don't need to blame Lord Azathoth. When I died, my body was completely elementalized. The wind element dissipated, and the Water Elemental disappeared with time. Only the fire and earth elements remained, and now they have merged with my soul. Perhaps that's why I am who I am today. But it's good, I've spent my whole life studying elemental creatures, and now I've become an elemental creature myself. Isn't that interesting?"
