Chapter 317: Chapter 312: Thunder Chapter 317: Chapter 312: Thunder “Finally, it’s dead.” Looking at the Elemental Lord lying in front of him, the out-of-breath Muria let out a sigh of relief. The gravitational domain that had been pressing on Muria was dissipated with the Elemental Lord’s death, making him feel light and much more relaxed.

“I’ve just slain a Legend.” Seeing the Elemental Lord before him now reduced to a pile of rocks, a look of satisfaction crossed Muria’s face.

Despite the Lord seeming off, appearing like a badly-wounded preemie, even at its worst, it was still a Legend, capable of instantaneously killing most entities at the Soul Intent Level.

Unfortunately, it had bad luck to run into Muria, a rare Hybrid Titan. Even if it had encountered a pure-blooded Soul Intent Level Titan, it would not have perished.

Generally speaking, underage Titans at most possess one weapon forged from Legendary Metal. This level of power is insufficient to kill an Elemental Lord, since ordinary Titans do not possess a piece of Legendary armor capable of enhancing their power.

“Delicious food.” Just as Muria was gloating over his impressive feat, a small figure rushed past him and jumped onto the remains of the Earth Elemental Lord, digging frantically.

“Yingdila!” Muria, in his Dragon Titan Form, bent down and lifted Yingdila, who had returned to her primitive form, by the scruff of her neck. “What are you trying to do?”

“I want to eat something yummy.” Yingdila looked up at Muria with big, innocent eyes.

“You barely helped in defeating the Earth Elemental Lord, and now you want the spoils of war.” Muria looked at the tiny creature flailing in his hand. “Give me one reason why I should give you the Elemental Heart.”

“You promised me earlier.”

“I told you to deal with them yourself. I didn’t say I would risk my life fighting the Elemental Lord while you wait to reap the rewards.”

“I wanted to help. You told me to observe.”

“…” Muria was silent, looking at Yingdila whose big eyes were twinkling at him.

“Muria, if you let me have this yummy thing, I’ll do whatever you say in the future.” Yingdila, who had already sensed the heartbeat of the Earth Elemental Lord’s heart, looked at it longingly, then turned to look at Muria, promising shamelessly.

Hearing Yingdila’s words, Muria narrowed his eyes. The Elemental Lord’s heart did not match his properties and he couldn’t use it to enhance his strength. He could only embed it in a magic staff or weapon, or use it as a material to set up a magic array or sacrifice to the deity.

So, this invaluable treasure wasn’t of much use to Muria. Weighing the pros and cons, it seemed better to use it to improve his relationship with Yingdila, a creature from the Void with infinite potential.

“Alright, since you’re behaving well, this Earth Elemental Lord’s heart is yours.” Muria put Yingdila down. “But only the heart is yours. The body is mine.”

“Okay!” Upon hearing this, Yingdila’s eyes curved into crescents from her wide smile.

“Here, take it.” Muria walked over to the Elemental Lord’s remains, put away his Sun-Chasing Spear and the Damo Sword, dug out the heart crystal radiating earth yellow spirit light, and handed it to Yingdila.

“Howl!” Yingdila accepted the Earth Elemental Heart, which was larger than herself, swallowed it in one bite, and then eagerly watched Muria, who was equipped with the Seven Sins Blade and picking through the Lord’s remains.

“Go and digest the Earth Elemental Heart.” Muria, who had found a piece of Fine Gold from the Elemental Lord’s remains, noticed Yingdila’s gaze and felt a bit helpless. “The body is mine. Wait for me to finish picking through it before I can give it to you.”

“You’ve picked all the good stuff. What’s left doesn’t taste good.” Yingdila murmured in a low voice. After swallowing the Elemental Lord’s heart, she was still not satisfied, even though she was feeling satiated.

Of all kinds of Elemental entities, if one had to choose one for combat, everyone would likely choose to confront the Earth Elementals.

The reason is simple: defeating Earth Elementals yields the largest reward. With other types of Elemental bodies, only those of high level will leave behind a Crystal Core after being defeated. Low-level beings don’t leave anything.

But Earth Elementals are different. Even after defeating the lowest level of Earth Elementals, you might gain Extraordinary Metals. When defeating high-level Earth Elemental entities, in addition to a hundred percent chance of obtaining an Earth Elemental Crystal Core, you could also get various grades of Extraordinary Metal and even Legendary Metal.

In short, the body of a high-level Earth Elemental is of much greater value than its heart.

“It seems I’m quite lucky.” Muria cheerfully found another piece of Mithril Ore in the Elemental Lord’s remains. He was in a great mood.

He had already found several types of Legendary Metal Ore. Although the amounts weren’t large, it was still not bad. After all, this Elemental Lord was only over ten thousand years old, quite “young” compared to those ancient lords in the Earth Elemental Realm.

“Not bad!” After digging out a human-sized Vast Earth Yellow Gold Ore from the Elemental Lord’s remains, Muria didn’t find any more Legendary Metal Ore, only some high-quality, Medium- to High-Grade Extraordinary Metal Ore.

The Elemental Lord itself was a moving mine of Extraordinary Compound Metals, so its body was so tough that even Muria could not forcibly break it apart. Instead, he had to slowly wear it down using the soul-breaking properties of his weapon.

Of course, the main reason was that Muria’s strength was not enough to fully unleash the power of his Exclusive Weapon. If a Legendary Titan held an Exclusive Weapon, they would deal with an Elemental Lord just like Muria dealing with an Elder Elemental. Maybe not one-shot each, but it wouldn’t be far off.

…After gathering all the Extraordinary Metal Ore scattered on the ground, the Miniature Earth Element Realm under Muria’s feet was almost collapsing. Without the support of the Elemental Lord, the large channel connecting to the Earth Elemental Realm couldn’t sustain itself.

“Yingdila, pick your next target.” Muria, glancing at a purple orb surrounded by countless thunders, spoke without turning his head.

“I pick that one.” Before Muria could reach out his hand to transport her again, Yingdila hastily added another sentence while stuffing a few pieces of Extraordinary Metal Ore into her mouth.

“Okay, be careful. Try not to wake up that Ice Elemental Lord.” Muria cautioned.

“Understood.”

After casting a quick glance at the sleeping Elemental Lord on the frosty land, Muria spread his wings and flew towards the Mini Thunder Element World resounding with thunder.
