Lord of Spells from Faerûn

"The desert is a monument that forever warns people" - Abushaq Khabach.

Under the scorching sun, on the desert, a man wearing a gorgeous dark black mage robe was riding on a horse. Behind him, there was also a strange tauren with two heads.

"Would you like some water, Doubao?" Imrik took out the endless water bag and poured cool water on Doubao's head.

Doubao cried happily, opened his mouth and took a big gulp of water. The cold water flowed down his throat into his already hot stomach, which relieved some of the burden on the poor horse.

It has been five days since Imric left Waterdeep. He first arrived at Waterdeep, then crossed the Gray Wind Mountains, passed through the Plains of Solitude, and finally arrived today at the largest desert land in Faerûn, Hainor. Oak Desert.

This is a barren desert that extends in all directions, dividing the entire northern part of Faerun evenly into two parts, east and west. People also call it the "Great Desert" or the "Great Sand Sea".

Some fifteen centuries ago, the deserts of Haenorok engulfed the ancient empire of Netheril, and as it came to be, it further encroached on the illustrious surrounding kingdoms. For generations, the relentless encroachment of the Enook Desert has wreaked havoc on the realm, forcing local monsters to migrate to surrounding areas.

This vast expanse of desert occupies the center of Faerûn. For countless years, various caravans and travelers have paid the price with their lives just to cross this desert.

Until a few decades ago, the Zhentarim opened a trade route here at great cost - the Black Road.

Although the security factor of this trade route is ineffective due to the dangers of the Eno Oak Desert, it also points out a way for all travelers passing by to avoid getting lost in this terrifying desert.

"Well, I want to drink too, Master!" Tongluo became greedy when he saw Beanbao drinking water. Although the powerful physical fitness of Faqu organisms made him not afraid of the heat at all, the nature of carbon-based organisms still made him in this hot place. The weather craves cool ice water.

Imric threw the water bag in his hand to the copper furnace. Among the three creatures, he was the only one who did not need to drink water. The fire element energy that came with the command fire element ring prevented him from feeling a trace of heat.

"Eye of the Falcon."

The black-robed mage cast a detection spell on himself. Ever since he stepped into this land, he has been extremely vigilant.

This desert is filled with all kinds of terrifying and dangerous creatures, the most terrifying of which is the second-ranked blue dragon among the five-color true dragons.

This kind of powerful and evil real dragon is not as easy to deal with as the golden dragon. If it falls into their hands, there is no third ending other than being a slave or food.

Suddenly, Imric's eyes narrowed, and he saw some kind of creature approaching quickly in the sand in the distance. The speed caused the sand on the ground to be constantly arched and thrown into the air.

Imrik raised a hand, and the pale hand with the luxurious ring stretched out from under the black mage's robe. An earthy yellow halo condensed on the fingertips, which was eye-catching even under the dazzling desert.

"Eruption of earth and rocks."

Three-ring transformation spell - earth and stone eruption.

The mysterious arcane power distorted the sand around the unknown creatures under the desert. The dry sand within a radius of ten meters erupted into a tumbling flow of soil and rocks, and even the underground creatures were thrown to the ground.

"A sandworm, and" Imrik looked at the two creatures thrown to the ground by the spell with interest.

A huge bug with a body length of at least eight meters. It looks like a legless purple bug, but its sides are covered with sharp spikes like blades, and there is a long fang-like weapon on its tail. , the mouth is covered with fangs.

Riding upon it was a hideous, stooped humanoid.

It looked like it was made of dark gray dust, and the blood veins on it looked like exposed blood vessels. Its gaping mouth is densely covered with terrifying teeth, and its hands have sharp claws.

"Ah! It's a desert scourge." Imrik suddenly remembered that Varro's Desert Guide to Enorok once recorded this kind of humanoid creature with a challenge level of 3. They were once the desert sands. The people were cursed and turned into this kind of bloodthirsty monster.

Imric stretched out his right hand wearing the command fire element ring and recited a spell.

"Level 3 Monster Summoning Technique."

The red gem on the command fire element ring lit up, and the magic power originally used to summon small elements instantly increased by a level.

An eight-foot-tall flame appeared on the spot, and a human figure could be faintly seen inside its hot burning interior.

"Deal with that humanoid monster," Imrik ordered.

The medium-sized fire elemental approached the desert disaster star with deadly and beautiful steps. The humanoid creature let out an inexplicable roar, and the huge sandworm next to it immediately rushed towards the fire elemental.

"Don't cause trouble." Imric wanted to test the combat effectiveness of the medium-sized fire element, but this sandworm rushed to death.

Imrik raised the command fire element ring again, and the gem lit up again. This time, an upright golden holy fire pillar appeared on the top of the sandworm's head and struck down hard.

"Roar!" The strong flames and holy power burned the evil sandworm from the inside out, and the sandworm fell to the ground with a scream.

The five-ring magic - Flame Strike.

Imric took back the ring with satisfaction. The effect of the five-ring magic twice a week was really good. The challenge level was level 3 and the sandworm died without even holding on for a second.

Seeing the Sandworm being instantly killed by the mage on the opposite side, the Desert Scourge was startled. He tried to turn around and run away, but the medium-sized fire elemental had already entangled him.

The fire element relies on the advantages of the elemental body, and every blow on the body of the desert disaster star has a powerful burning effect. Although the creatures living in the desert are generally relatively heat-resistant, this level is obviously not immune to flames. the point.

"Ouch!!" The desert scourge let out a cry similar to a wolf's howl. His claws frantically grabbed sand from the ground and threw it at the fire elemental. Because of the previous attempts to tear the fire elemental's body apart with his claws, his claws were damaged. Burn, this monster now only dares to attack from a distance.

Seeing that it was only a matter of time before the Desert Scourge was defeated, Imric nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that at the same level, it would be difficult for a creature with only physical damage to defeat the elemental body.

"Fireball."

Imric chanted softly, condensed a fireball in his hand and threw it out. In order to save time, he was ready to take action himself.

The fireball technique hit the desert scourge, and violent flames burst out, burning the humanoid monster into ashes. The fire element next to it seemed to have taken supplements, and its size grew a bit, but then the fireball technique exploded. The shock wave blew its body away, and it finally returned to its original shape. In the end, it even shrank a bit smaller than before.
