Chapter 306: Elemental Imbalance

"Block the door, don't let them out." Seeing more and more fire elementals emerging, the anxious tower spirit shouted.

"Yingtira." The dense fire elementals turned the area into a sea of fire. Muria picked up Yingtira, who seemed to never be satisfied, and placed her at the broken door after extinguishing a few medium-sized fire elementals.

"Swallow all the fire elementals that come out." Muria rubbed Yingtira's hair. Hearing Muria's order, Yingtira obediently opened her mouth wide, not refusing such a command.

"What kind of creature is this?" The tower spirit looked bewildered at Yingtira swallowing the fire elementals, unable to find any corresponding creature in the data bank. Many creatures can consume fire elementals, but none can disregard them and continuously devour them as she does.

"Now, can you tell me what exactly happened to this Mage Tower?" Once Yingtira blocked the door, preventing any more fire elementals from escaping, Muria's gaze turned to the tower spirit, "What's going on with this half-plane? Why are there no intelligent beings?"

A legendary mage's half-plane, especially one with a Mage Tower placed within, lacking intelligent races was highly unreasonable.

"What can you do even if I tell you?"

"I can solve it." Muria's radiant golden dragon eyes stared at the tower spirit, full of confidence. A Mage Tower that had lost its master for thousands of years, what trouble could it possibly cause?

"Your power is not enough; this is something only a legend can solve." The tower spirit shook its head.

"First, explain the situation to me. If it's indeed unsolvable, I can pay a price to invite an ancient dragon to help."

"Aren't you a fallen golden dragon? How can you still invite ancient dragons to help?" The tower spirit looked at Muria puzzledly; fallen golden dragons are expelled from the metallic dragon race, treated the same as evil dragons, becoming solitary creatures.

"I've said it, I haven't fallen." Muria's forehead vein popped.

"Then why are you accompanied by so many chromatic dragons?"

"None of your business, you talkative tower spirit." Hearing the tower spirit's question, the red dragon Altres became impatient, "Muria His Highness is a scion of the Dragon King. Is it strange for us chromatic dragons to follow him?"

"Scion of the Dragon King?" The tower spirit looked shocked at Muria's identity, displaying a wide range of emotions despite being an artificial soul.

"I see. Let me explain the whole situation to you." After glancing at Yingtira at the door and confirming no more fire elementals could escape, the tower spirit looked seriously at Muria, "I hope, Your Highness, you can eliminate this threat."

"Go ahead," Muria said, ready to learn what had happened. Casually breaking in was foolish.

"About thirteen thousand years ago, my master began preparing to build a floating city. Thanks to ample resources and even subduing a group of cloud giants, the construction of the floating city progressed rapidly.

You've seen the city surrounding this tower, right? That's the unfinished floating city. The change in the Mage Tower happened because it wasn't completed.

My master, Hainal, had upgraded the elemental pool of the Mage Tower before his demise, allowing it to supply energy for the nearly completed floating city.

But his sudden death halted the construction plan of the floating city."

The tower spirit's expression turned sorrowful; it seemed to possess human-like complex emotions.

"I understand." Muria realized the situation. A Mage Tower with the energy supply for a floating city, where energy consumption was far less than the supply, would naturally accumulate excess energy over time, inevitably causing problems.

"One last question." Muria looked directly at the tower spirit, "What happened to the descendants serving in this Mage Tower and the cloud giants who built the floating city?"

"I sent them all away." The tower spirit looked at Muria, "Staying here offered them no future, no hope. According to my calculations, an elemental pool capable of powering a floating city would eventually destroy this place.

Even beasts with sufficient intelligence were sent away from this hopeless half-plane."

Muria was slightly stunned, then smiled, "You're an interesting tower spirit, with emotions like anger, sorrow, and compassion...

Don't worry. This half-plane won't be destroyed; it will continue under my care."

Now understanding the situation, Muria, surrounded by golden lightning, stepped towards the broken door, picking up Yingtira, who was eagerly devouring fire elementals.

"How do you feel?"

"Plentiful, delicious."

"Do you want to join me inside? There's even better food."

"Yes."

Seeing Muria, holding the girl with terrifying devouring capabilities, ready to enter the room sealed for thousands of years, the tower spirit displayed a mix of shock and confusion.

"Just the two of you going in, do you understand what might be born inside? Why not invite an ancient dragon to solve this safely?"

"Yingtira and I are enough." Muria ignored the tower spirit's warnings and shouts.

The problem with the Mage Tower was simple: severe elemental accumulation. High concentrations of elements nurtured a vast number of elemental lives, essentially a mini elemental realm.

However, no Mage Tower would have only one type of elemental pool. It's evident how chaotic the core area of this Mage Tower had become.

Inside, there might be elemental lives everywhere, with potentially a full variety of elemental types. The only good news is that these elemental lives will not unite and will even fight each other. Even so, solving the Mage Tower's hidden danger remains extremely difficult.

According to the tower spirit, calling an ancient metallic dragon could resolve everything. Indeed, but if so, what role would Muria play, and what benefits would he gain?

The Mage Tower's elemental imbalance presented Muria with not just a risk but also an opportunity.
