The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 393: Subjugating the Elemental Lord
David sensed the situation changing drastically, and knew that he had to exert even greater strength to control this melee that was about to get out of control.

He closed his eyes and focused on the surging water elements around him.

Following the call from his heart, a huge force began to surge in his body.

"The power of Poseidon!"

David chanted in a low voice, and a blue light burst out from his body, forming a huge vortex of water.

The vortex expanded rapidly, like a violent wave, constantly swallowing up everything around it.

Molten Throat and Frost Eyes were wrapped in it. No matter how they struggled, they could not escape this surging force.

"You human! You can't control us!" Moltenmaw roared, his blazing flames struggling in the whirlpool, but were almost extinguished by the water flow.

He could feel endless despair and powerlessness rising from deep in his heart. He was once the most powerful fire elemental lord in the world, but now he was easily bound by a human.

Frost Eyes also felt panic.

He tried to fight back with the help of the icy current, but every attack was canceled out without a trace by the invisible power of the sea.

"No... I absolutely cannot lose to you!" He tried his best to escape from the desperate situation, but found that the more he resisted, the stronger the water flow became, as if it could understand his intentions.

Seeing how desperate the two lords were, David knew that now was not the time to offer gentle preaching.

He had to work extra hard to make sure they understood the importance of cooperation.

"You must understand that this battle will only lead to greater destruction! If we continue to fight, we will all lose everything!"

However, the two lords only heard the low roar coming from the center of the storm. They were completely trapped in their own fear and despair.

Under this tremendous pressure, they began to doubt their own value and meaning of existence.

They once thought they were invincible, but now they have fallen into such a situation, which is unbearable for them.

David felt the surrounding water elements surging at his call, forming a huge water vortex. The powerful force surrounded Molten Throat and Frost Eyes.

The two elemental lords were suppressed in the center of the vortex by this invisible force and could not break free.

"What the hell are you?"

Moltenmaw roared, blazing flames dancing on his body, but were restrained by the ever-tumbling water.

He felt his power being gradually devoured, and the feeling of powerlessness made him furious.

The surrounding water elements became more turbulent under his will, forming a water dragon that circled and danced in the air, completely covering Molten Throat and Frost Eyes.

"You human, you have no idea what true power is!"

Moltenmaw roared. He could feel his blazing flames being gradually suppressed to the point where they had nowhere to go.

The anger and pride in the flames intertwined into uncontrollable despair, but he could not change the status quo and could only be forced to face it all.

"I won't give in to you!"

Frost Eyes couldn't help but roar in anger. The icy power deep in his heart that he once prided himself on was now pushed into a desperate situation by the overwhelming pressure.

With every counterattack, I only get more fatigue and helplessness.

David could sense the fear and desperation emanating from them, and he knew he had to be more resolute.

His eyes were as sharp as a bolt of lightning, cutting through the growing uneasiness between the two lords.

"Submit to me," he said calmly and forcefully, "or die!"

As his voice fell, the water dragon began to release a strong and dazzling light, like a god descending from heaven.

David put his mind further into the vortex, causing all the surrounding elements to resonate with it.

It is no longer a matter of simple suppression, but of letting them experience the power of cooperation.

At the same time, this powerful water flow conveyed a survival instinct to the two lords: the only way to survive is to follow the laws of nature!
Moltenthroat and Frosteye felt this new vitality and hope. They had originally stubbornly and lonely insisted on their position, but at this moment, they began to waver.

Especially in the face of tremendous pressure, they understand that continuing to resist will only lead to death.

"If we have to surrender to this human... will we really lose anything?" Molten Throat gritted his teeth and whispered. He struggled in pain, but also felt a glimmer of hope.

"If we choose to cooperate, perhaps it will bring new possibilities..."

Similarly, Frost Eyes, who had been suppressed for a long time and exhausted, finally realized this.

"We... must either unite or perish."

His voice was low and sad, yet full of resignation and acceptance.

He looked at David, his eyes flashing with determination after the struggle, "Okay, I am willing to obey."

David breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two lords finally succumbed to reality and stopped resisting.

He slowly withdrew the power of the sea god, allowing the vortex to gradually subside, freeing the two.

However, he remained vigilant and did not completely relax his control over their connection to ensure that they would not act rashly.

David felt the surrender of Moltenthroat and Frosteye, and he knew this was an important moment.

However, it was not enough to make them obey, he needed to ensure that they would never oppose him again, an unbreakable contract had to be established.

He closed his eyes and began to chant a spell in his mind, calling upon the ancient power hidden deep within the water element.

The surrounding water began to change shape, gradually condensing into a slender and flowing blue beam of light, enveloping Molten Throat and Frost Eyes.

Those beams of light snaked up like vines, firmly fixing the two elemental lords in place.

"You were once the most powerful lords in this world, but now—you will become my slaves."

David said in a firm and unforgiving voice.

It means nothing, but he has to do it to protect the world.

He no longer tolerated any form of resistance.

As the spell continued to be chanted, Molten Throat and Frost Eyes felt an irresistible force invading their respective consciousnesses.

It felt like being held tightly by an invisible hand. They tried to resist but found that they could not break free at all.

"What kind of power is this?" asked Molten Throat in horror, with anger and despair surging in his heart.

He tried his best to break free from the restraints, but all his efforts were in vain.

"This is an irreversible contract," David responded coldly, "You will always obey my will. I can give you life and power, or I can make you completely destroyed."

Frost Eyes was also frightened by this invisible pressure.

He closed his eyes and whispered unwillingly: "We used to be part of nature, but now we have to become your slaves... Isn't this a shame?" "Shame?" David sneered, "If you don't accept this, you will only face destruction! Only by surrendering can you continue to exist."

As the spell entered its final stage, the blue light grew brighter, as dazzling as the sun.

The two elemental lords gradually felt their consciousness being eroded, and the despair and powerlessness almost made them collapse.

At the moment they are about to lose themselves, they have to face the reality: as individuals, they can no longer compete with this new force.

What is the meaning of dignity if you can't survive?
At this moment, a deep and powerful voice rose from the depths of their hearts: "If this is our only choice, then so be it."

Ronghou finally let go of the last bit of pride and resistance, and Shuangtong also silently accepted this fact.

In desperation, they chose to survive, even if the price was submission to another being.

"I accept this contract!" Molten Throat roared, his heart filled with humiliation, yet with a slight sense of unwillingness.

"Me too!"

Frost Eyes followed closely behind, expressing her determination in a trembling but firm voice.

"As long as I can save my life, I am willing to submit to you!"

As the two lords finally swore their allegiance, the blue light that was wrapped around their bodies and consciousness suddenly burst into a dazzling light, as dazzling as a falling star.

When the last syllable fell, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and at the same time the water rolled up huge waves, making the entire vortex even more dazzling.

The contract is completed!

From now on, these two elemental lords who were once invincible and dominated the world will become tools in David's hands and have to obey his orders.

With the contract completed, David felt a new connection established between him, Molten Throat, and Frost Eyes.

Although they were forced to become his slaves, David knew that only through mutual trust and cooperation could their power be truly realized.

At this moment, the resistance deep in the hearts of Molten Throat and Frost Eyes gradually subsided, and was replaced by a curiosity to understand David's intentions.

Although the contract forced them to submit, it did not deprive them of their wisdom and ability to think.

"Do you know why we are fighting?" asked Ronghou in a deep voice.

Although his flame was suppressed, a strong sense of unwillingness and fighting spirit still burned in his heart.

"We are not fighting for personal gain, but to seize the 'Elemental Rainbow Core'."

"Elemental Rainbow Core?" David's eyes flashed with doubt. He had never heard of this term before. "What is that?"

Frost Eyes continued, "The Elemental Rainbow Core is a powerful source of energy. It is said that it can enhance the power of the Elemental Lords. It is also an important key to unlock the power of inheritance."

"Whoever controls the Rainbow Core will dominate the entire battlefield." His voice was low and full of awe.

After hearing this, David finally understood the truth of the matter.

In this chaotic and competitive land, the two once invincible lords fought each other because of their unremitting pursuit of that powerful power.

David felt that this elemental rainbow core was not simple, and perhaps it was really related to the God of Elements.

"But I need you to tell me how to get there, and how to defeat those guardians."

Molten Throat nodded, and raised his fiery and determined eyes: "It is said that there is a huge temple deep in the core of the battlefield. That is where the Rainbow Core is. But to pass through the numerous obstacles around, we need to unite the power of all elements and face the ancient creatures together - they are made of eternal fire and ice and snow, and should not be underestimated."

David nodded, having an idea.

Frost Eyes looked at Molten Throat. The two lords were no longer in hostility, but in a potential alliance.

They finally realized that when facing a common enemy, they could not achieve victory by individual strength alone, and they had to rely on each other.

"Then, let us start planning how to take back our glory!" he said firmly, his eyes flashing with the desire for rebirth.

"Okay," Moltenthroat also agreed, "I will provide the strongest support for the flames, and you will be in charge of the ice and snow to protect our rear!"

David, Molten Throat and Frost Eye formed an indestructible team and began their journey.

After confirming the target, they decided to first subdue other elemental lords around them before heading to the elemental rainbow core in order to enhance their own strength and combat capabilities.

"We must first search for other elemental lords nearby."

David said: "They are also part of this battlefield. We can persuade or conquer them to work for us."

Ronghou and Shuangtong looked at each other, and trust had already formed between them.

Both lords realized that uniting all elemental forces was an important step toward achieving their goals.

"I know there is a water elemental lord nearby, his name is Tide." Frost Eyes said.

"He has a strong control over water currents. If we can have him join us, it will greatly enhance our strength."

"Tide surge? Then go find him." David nodded in agreement.

They set off quickly in the direction where the tide might appear.

Soon they came to a hidden lake.

The lake surface sparkles, gleaming charmingly in the sunlight.

However, as the three approached, a strong and cold voice came from the depths of the lake: "Who are you? How dare you disturb my peace!"

Rising from the water surface was a slender water elemental lord, Tide, who exuded a clear and wavering aura.

His eyes were as cold as ice, and his whole body revealed an indomitable spirit and pride.

He looked around, his eyes flashing with vigilance and hostility.

"What are you doing here?"

"Tide, I'm David," David said, "I need your help. Our goal is to seize the 'Elemental Rainbow Core', which requires all forces from the fields of water, fire, ice, etc. to unite together to fight against the ancient guardian who is about to come."

Chaoyong frowned, he obviously didn't completely trust this human.

"Why should I trust you? You might just be here for your own benefit."

Molten Throat and Frost Eyes spoke up to defend David: "If we don't unite, we will face an even greater disaster! These ancient creatures will not let you go just because of your arrogance!"

The tide was silent for a moment, he felt a sense of uneasiness deep in his heart, but was driven by a strong desire to survive.

He saw hope from the unprecedented group and the importance of supporting each other in times of crisis.

"If I choose to help you, can you guarantee my safety?" His voice was slightly softer, but still revealed vigilance.
