Chapter 201: The Era of the Star Alliance

Chapter 201 - 201: The Era of the Star Alliance"If worse comes to worst, I'll have to use Forbidden Zone," Su Nan murmured, suppressing stray thoughts as he ventured deeper into the Lightning Elemental Plane.

Thunderstones, the key material he sought, were often found in areas densely packed with lightning strikes. The outer edges of the lightning element space were barren, forcing Su Nan to press further into the treacherous depths.

It wasn't long before Su Nan encountered his first Lightning Elemental Spirit.

Low-tier lightning elementals appeared as formless clusters of electric arcs, lacking even a vague humanoid outline. Only as their power grew did they develop more defined shapes, with Elemental Titans manifesting fully humanoid upper bodies while their lower halves resembled swirling arcs of energy.

The low-tier elemental before him barely posed a threat, and Su Nan dispatched it effortlessly with a single Magic Missile, reducing it to nothing but glowing dust.

The combat reminded Su Nan of the unique rules of this realm:

Infinite Energy: The Lightning Elemental Plane offered no scarcity of energy. Mana expended on spells rapidly replenished from the abundant energy particles in the air.

Elemental Restriction: The overwhelming dominance of lightning energy, however, rendered spells requiring other elemental particles nearly impossible to cast. Su Nan's arsenal in this realm was limited to non-elemental magic, tools like the Ring of Calamity, Inscribed Gems, and his Liquid Metal Weaponry. Lightning-based techniques like Black Thunder were useless here.

The elemental left behind shimmering dust upon its defeat—Elemental Dust, a material brimming with energy, valuable for enchanting and crafting magical items. Su Nan casually swept it into his Dimensional Ring.

Su Nan's presence in the Lightning Elemental Plane was as conspicuous as a beacon in the dark. The distinct aura of his existence, so different from the native elementals, attracted a constant stream of aggressive spirits.

Most were violent and charged at him on sight, eager to reduce him to ash. Only a handful remained indifferent, lazily floating in the air like drifting clouds.

He wisely chose to avoid provoking these passive elementals, instead focusing on eliminating those that attacked him.

As Su Nan ventured further, the air thickened with dense arcs of lightning. Streaks of electricity materialized like physical entities, dancing through the sky and ground. The elementals he encountered grew stronger and more humanoid in shape.

Recognizing the increased danger, Su Nan summoned his two Secret Puppets.

Unlike ordinary constructs, which were ineffective against intangible elemental forms, high-grade puppets enchanted with spells could deal devastating blows to these spirits.

With the puppets handling most of the combat, Su Nan could finally concentrate on his primary objective: collecting Thunderstones.

After some time, Su Nan spotted a dark, jagged stone nestled among scorched rocks. With a wave of his hand, the stone floated into his palm, crackling with potent lightning energy.

"A Thunderstone," he remarked, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

Encouraged, Su Nan meticulously

In reality, the Empire relied far more on the Alliance than the reverse. Over time, the Empire's dependence would deepen, and it would inevitably become an extension of the Alliance's will.

Remarkably, this was a symbiotic relationship the Empire's leadership not only accepted but embraced. The Empire's nobles and even the Emperor himself were eager to strengthen ties with the Alliance.

"The future belongs to the Star Alliance," Ethan remarked, a grin spreading across his face. After a moment of thought, he added, "What do you think Teacher's next goal will be after unifying the Starlight Continent?"

Corey paused, considering the question. After a long silence, he said, "I've heard that ancient wizards enjoyed conquering other planes. Perhaps Teacher has similar ambitions."

Ethan's eyes lit up at the idea.

"That would be a worthy goal," he said. "I've always wanted to see other planes."

If the Star Alliance ever launched an interplanar expedition, Ethan was determined to join. Explori

ng otherworldly realms was a dream worth pursuing—but first, he needed to reach the rank of a Tier-3 Wizard Apprentice.

In the ever-expanding Star Alliance, a Tier-2 Apprentice was no longer sufficient.
