Novel Full Chapter 621
Chapter 621: Chapter 556 Flame Demon Chapter 621: Chapter 556 Flame Demon Upon the desolate square, those strange vine tendrils under Tao Yu’s control melted into pools of black sludge, which then rolled towards the shadow of Tao Yu like water droplets on a lotus leaf, converging rapidly.
Carried along with them, the flesh, corpses, and plasma of the Orcs and Trolls also merged into the black mud, seeming to reverse into a replenishment for magical power.
This nearly filled the void left by Tao Yu’s previous usage of Tree Boundary.
The clean-up at the scene also appeared exceptionally thorough.
Apart from a few giant fissures where the main vines had emerged, even the decayed corpses were no longer in sight, leaving behind only some splotched weapons.
Even the nearby spiderwebs had disappeared, as if swept away, making the place seem “clean and fresh” by a good deal.
However, this kind of “cleanliness,” in the eyes of the other members of the Fellowship of the Ring who had witnessed everything, even Aragorn and Boromir felt a chill in the depths of their hearts.
The cleanliness now was all the more frightening.
It gave them an eerie sense of unease…
“Thank you…”
Regardless of what others thought, Gimli the Dwarf, at this moment, gave his heartfelt thanks.
One could easily discern that Moria, once occupied by uncle Balin, had been conquered again by the Orcs, and the situation likely seemed dire.
Otherwise, they would have continued to receive no news from this place.
“No need for thanks,”

Tao Yu coughed.With things as they were, there was nothing left to conceal.

“Power used for good is good, and used for evil is evil; it is unrelated to the nature of the power itself,”
Gandalf also spoke at this time to offer reassurance.
He then wanted to provide an example.
But it was at this moment that he realized, even as he too was recovering his power and memory, he couldn’t find a single instance where using evil power didn’t lead to corruption.
‘Morgoth,’ a Vala himself, had done so many absurd and crazy things because of the nature of his power.
Not to mention Sauron and the Magic Ring…
However, he quickly found the only exception to the rule,
“Originally, Sauron was also graceful and sophisticated…”
But after finishing, Gandalf closed his mouth.
Looking at the handsome Tao Yu, even though he had done such things before, the others still unconsciously wanted to trust him.
Are you not Sauron the Second?!
Gandalf tapped his magic wand to his head and with a wry smile, swept away those thoughts.
“However, dark power should still be used as little as possible.”
At least for Gandalf and Galadriel, their ethical views were still upright; they were not moralists who couldn’t tolerate flaws.
Even with Saruman’s betrayal, they were still willing to give Saruman a chance to reform.
While Tao Yu’s power leaned toward the Underworld, he was ultimately still on their side.
Seeing that the internal conflict within the team had been temporarily quelled, Tao Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.
He had no wish for problems to arise over such a ludicrous reason.
The Flame Demon hadn’t even been faced yet.
However, glancing at Frodo, Tao Yu slightly frowned as he noticed the Magic Ring began to emit waves of influence again, as if it sought to exploit the opportunity to incite discord within the team.
“Everyone, be careful.
The Magic Ring seems to want to affect you all.
Maintain some distance from Frodo for now.”
Tao Yu’s words took everyone aback.
Boromir, whose heart had suddenly begun to fill with dissatisfaction and aggression, also came to his senses after Tao Yu’s warning.
What am I doing?!
I even rode here on someone else’s mount!
“The Magic Ring, huh?
This thing is truly dangerous…”
Stepping away, Boromir gave Frodo a glance and felt a surge of the thought that he could acquire and master the Magic Ring.
He then stepped back in terror once again.
Although proud, even arrogant, Boromir had been trained as the heir of the Steward with all his abilities and ideologies in line.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have volunteered for such a dangerous mission.
“The ominous predicament foretold should be resolved now, let’s go over there.”
Gandalf planted a well-timed flag and raised his magic wand, suddenly unleashing a burst of sacred white brilliance that fully illuminated the inside of Moria’s gate.
Moreover, this white light had a strong dispelling effect, even capable of directly harming Orcs just like The Sun.
Even Tao Yu felt somewhat uncomfortable.
“Mr.
Tao, are you alright?
I don’t know if it conflicts with your attributes.”
Gandalf turned to glance at Tao Yu.
“It’s fine, just a bit dazzling, let’s go.”
It was just illumination magic, not enough to cause substantial harm to Tao Yu.
At the moment, he was also pondering how to lure out the Flame Demon…
…
The interior space of Moria, carved entirely out of the mountain, was quite extensive, not just a simple ‘hall’ or ‘building’, but a genuine city.
A colossal city.
Navigating inside was measured in ‘days’.
Fortunately, Gandalf’s illumination spell kept their progress rather smooth.
The traces of excavations and the historical dust of the city all conveyed a profound sense of age.
Beneath the stone bridge they were currently crossing was a dark abyss whose depths could not be seen.
“This place was once rich in Mithril, but as the digging went deeper, a mysterious creature was awakened, so we still need to be cautious.”
Heading deeper towards the direction of the mine shafts, Gandalf also issued a careful reminder.
Thanks to Tao Yu’s previous rampage, they hadn’t encountered a single Orc along the way.
But fears have a way of turning into reality.
Just as Tao Yu was considering how to subtly draw out the Flame Demon,
suddenly, a roar erupted from the depths below.
The mere sound of the roar caused stones to fall from the cavern’s roof, and the earth itself seemed to tremble.
In Tao Yu’s eyes, this glinted with opportunity.
Indeed, it was powerful!
Afterwards, a red flame appeared to light up the abyss below, and something was swiftly rushing up the mine passage towards them.
They could feel the rhythmical trembling of the earth.
The firelight grew brighter and a wave of scorching air approached.
“This is bad…”
Gandalf had just mentioned this creature, yet now it had been roused.
“This might be troublesome, I’ll handle it…”
Gandalf was just about to say he would take it on himself when Tao Yu interrupted,
“Let me handle it, my abilities have high resistance to fire, and this monster seems to excel in fire.”
How could Tao Yu let him hog all the experience?
This could very well be the Chosen One, and if Gandalf killed it, it would be a huge loss!
Better for the Chosen One to level up by killing an Alien or something, killing this would be too wasteful.
“This…
to let you take the lead again?
Speaking of fire, the lady happens to be skilled in water magic.”
Gandalf seemed to feel a bit uncomfortable always having Tao Yu take action.
“I’ve said, I’ll handle it, you guys back off.
I’m interested in its loot, this is the ability of us Pioneers.”
Tao Yu frankly spoke out.
My monster, don’t you guys steal it…
