Four Phantoms tried to free Lakma, but they all fell to her energy.
It's unlikely that something like this would have happened to Adam. He had enough power to defeat Lakma, not in a confrontation, but in a battle of attrition.
But he chose a different path.
The Glass Root, the real one, was in his hand, emitting dense streams of energy that radiated along the rift.
Every Cloud Elemental couldn't help but notice them. It was an exceedingly rare treasure. For the Glass Root to appear, extremely specific conditions had to be met, and only another Phantom could obtain it.
Even the Kind Elemental was astonished.
[You're the first to have ever done this… How…? How did you manage that…? How great is your power, young man?]
Adam shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Not this time. I was weaker, and I won not because I killed my opponent, but because I made her my ally."
[Agh…?]
The King Elemental was confused.
