For the Flamewaker Commander, the purple storm bursting from the cave was all too familiar; already blurred ancient memories resurfaced—his master's mortal enemy—
Thunderaan, the Wind Prince!
The Flamewaker commander on the high platform recognized the great enemy from his long-forgotten memories. He could no longer remain calm, raised his trident high, and roared loudly.
This was the order for a general offensive. In an instant, all units on the ground capable of ranged attacks were activated, and a deluge of flames mixed with flying arrows and spears pressed down on the two wind elementals and their inevitable path.
With no way to avoid it, the Wind Prince and Demitrian joined forces to create a wall of wind, protecting themselves as they fled at full speed toward the exit.
Most of the firebirds also received orders from their commander to abandon the Paladins and, led by the purple eagle Knights, flew to the exit to block the wind elementals' path.
There were only about thirty firebirds of various sizes surrounding Unas. He sneered inwardly, charged forward without dodging or avoiding, and killed the leading firebird with a single spear thrust. Then he wildly swung his scythe, cutting any firebird that dared to approach into pieces.
Strangely, wisps of golden light emanated from the bodies of the several slain firebirds, automatically converging towards Unas's left hand, which he quickly dodged.
But suddenly he felt the Ring on his middle finger vibrating wildly. On a whim, he extended his finger and saw strands of golden light rapidly entering the Fire Ring. It didn't seem to be a harmful substance.
What's going on?
Although we knew the Fire Ring would automatically absorb fire-attribute energy, this was the first time such a thing had happened. What exactly were those golden threads?
I've killed many Fire Elemental creatures before, but nothing like this has appeared. Could it be an energy unique to the Firebird Tribe?
Unas flapped his wings and charged forward, Execute another firebird. Sure enough, more golden threads flowed towards the Fire Ring, but the Ring itself remained largely unchanged.
Collapse!
A loud bang interrupted his doubts. The wind wall erected by the two wind elementals was destroyed in no time, and his path was blocked by a flock of firebirds led by the Purple Eagle Knight. He was immediately trapped in a desperate situation.
At the critical moment, the Wind Prince hurled a huge diamond-shaped gem, from which boundless crimson flames spread out, instantly forming a giant wall of fire.
Using fire to fight fire, the giant fire wall blocked all the waves of attacks from the ground.
The Wind Prince let out another howl, and the remaining fire wall was swept up by a gust of wind, turning into hundreds of fire pillars that struck the firebird formation.
Boom!
The collision of fire against fire created a series of explosions, and a gap suddenly appeared in the firebird formation. The two wind elements instantly transformed into thin columns of air, rapidly drilling towards the escape gap.
"Hey! Take--" Unas shouted as he charged, but before he could finish the word "Attack me," two serpentine pillars of energy had already disappeared behind the firebirds.
Damn it!
Unas couldn't help but curse, "I was just worried sick and was going to cover for you guys, and you just abandoned me without even looking back?!"
Unfortunately, the Crimson Diamond thrown by the Wind Prince struck him squarely. The Paladin managed to grab the gem, and instantly, all the enemies above and below turned to look at him.
If this wasn't intentional, Unas should write his name backwards!
"Lord Unas, the item has been returned to its rightful owner!" A gentle breeze carried Lord Summerwind's greeting to his ear.
I will kill you!
Unas was furious, feeling that all his enthusiasm had been wasted; he hadn't been deceived like this in a long time.
He had long heard that wind elemental creatures were extremely unpredictable, and he was somewhat wary of them, but he felt that he should only turn against them after eliminating their common enemy.
He never dreamed that, with the Firelord still undefeated, the Wind Elemental would break his promise to his face, not only refusing to repay his kindness but also trying to kill him.
The menacing flock of firebirds closed in, leaving him no time for anger.
Divine Storm!
Unas suddenly unleashed a golden energy storm that sent the firebirds tumbling about. Just as he was about to find an opening to break free, a massive purple shadow pressed down from above.
The Purple Eagle Knight was furious that he had accidentally let two wind elementals escape, and he was determined to retrieve the Fire Source Stone to make amends.
Unas, fearless, thrust his spear straight forward. The tip of his invincible Adamantite spear was close to the forehead of the Purple Eagle, about to pierce its brain, but it seemed to have suddenly hit a wall and could not go any further. It turned out that the Purple Eagle had an almost transparent protective shield around its body.
The recoil nearly caused him to drop his golden spear. The Purple Eagle Knight swung his halberd and swept it across, Unas quickly raised his spear to defend.
When!
The clash of weapons produced a deafening roar, like a signal for a general offensive. In an instant, all the Fire Elementals, both in the sky and on the ground, turned their weapons toward the Paladin.
The flock of firebirds pressed in from behind and both sides, the space beneath their feet was covered by ranged attacks from the ground, and the Purple Eagle Knight's halberd was thrusting straight at them from the front. There was also no way to escape from above, leaving the Paladin with no room to dodge.
Divine Shield!
The ultimate "Invincible" power was finally unleashed, and a shield surrounded by silver light blocked all attacks.
Invincible lasted only 12 seconds, Unas pushed his speed to the limit and charged forward recklessly.
With the Scythe of Elune in hand, he no longer held back, wielding it in a blur of white before him. The Purple Eagle Knight's halberd thrust forward, only to be instantly sliced into several pieces of scrap metal by the high-speed scythe.
Anything touched by the white shadow was shredded to pieces. By the time the Flamewaker Knight on the purple eagle realized this, it was too late.
The high-speed Charge Paladin closed in on the purple eagle in the blink of an eye. As the scythe passed, the transparent protective shield on its body shattered silently. The purple eagle's entire head was enveloped in a white shadow, and in just a moment, it completely disappeared from the neck up, exploding into several bursts of blood and fire fireworks in the air.
The poor, powerful fire beast had no chance to unleash any fighting power and was thus transformed into a massive amount of golden threads that were absorbed by the Fire Ring.
With his beloved mount fallen before his eyes, the Flamewaker Knight let out a mournful roar and, fearlessly, leaped through the air to attack.
His upper body was inevitably sliced into countless pieces by the divine weapon, but his long tail, seemingly carrying the will of his previous life, bypassed the scythe and fiercely wrapped around the Paladin's neck.
However, with the Divine Shield blocking the way, the long tail couldn't touch the Paladin at all; it could only cling tightly to the silver shield, obstructing Unas's view.
A mournful cry echoed around them. The firebirds, aroused by their leader's sacrifice, charged forward with frantic screams, ready to die for their cause.
Unas managed to flick the Flamewaker's severed tail with his long staff, only to be met with a series of violent explosions.
Realizing that close combat would only result in their futile Execute, the firebirds, before being touched by the scythes, fought to the death, self-destructing in a frenzy, determined to save their enemy.
The explosion was extremely powerful, but it couldn't break through the Divine Shield at all. It only produced a large amount of blood, flesh, and dust in the air, which enveloped Unas, making it impossible for him to see the way ahead.
He couldn't care less about anything else at the moment. Based on his impression of the exit, he chose a direction and charged forward headlong, but the shockwave from the explosion still slightly affected his sense of direction.
A slight difference can lead to a huge error; a tiny influence caused him to deviate from the cave entrance and crash headfirst into the stone wall next to the exit, creating a circular hole several meters deep.
Unas nestled in the Rocks at the bottom of the cave, and her Invincible time was almost halfway over. The birds were still swarming towards her, and at this rate, she had no chance of escaping. She had no choice but to use her last resort.
He decisively pulled out his Hearthstone and started rubbing it vigorously. A green light shone from the Hearthstone, and in just five or six seconds, this magical stone would teleport him back to the Monastery. This was the Paladin's ultimate survival combo skill— the Invincible Hearthstone.
Flying from Farshire to Venomspider Gorge, and then using the Teleportation Array back to the battlefield of the underground lava river in Blackrock Depths, should take less than twenty minutes.
At that time, the Firelord can be set aside; he will first eliminate Demitrian Wind Prince, those two treacherous villains!
A fierce flame poured in from the cave entrance; it was the firebirds' futile breath attack, which did nothing to harm the Divine Shield Paladin by his divine shield. He was now only focused on his Hearthstone.
Five, four, three...
As he silently counted down, watching the green light about to fill the runes on his Hearthstone, a familiar blue light suddenly shone from the cave entrance, accompanied by a strange fluctuation. An ominous premonition immediately weighed on Unas's heart.
... II.1!
The runes on the Hearthstone suddenly lit up like light bulbs, indicating that the teleportation spell was ready. The Paladin was immediately enveloped in a green light, and then, with a flash of green light, he was left behind instead of being teleported away.
That fluctuation just now was -- Dimensional Anchor!? (Level 4 spell, effect is to block spatial teleportation within its range)
With only one second left on the Divine Shield, Unas had no time to hesitate or regret. He pushed off the wall and burst out of the cave, where he indeed saw the blue Flamewaker floating in front of the magic gate.
I was careless!
He thought no one could stop the Invincible Hearthstone, but unexpectedly, this Blue Demon didn't die after being struck by lightning. He was still on the ground closely watching the battle and seized the opportunity to ruin his plans.
"Die!" Unas roared in fury, raising his spear to thrust forward.
The Blue Flamewaker was already on the verge of death. Teleporting into the air and casting the Dimensional Anchor had exhausted his last bit of energy. He staggered towards the magic gate, but it was too late. He was easily pierced through the back and chest by the golden spear, a fatal blow to the heart.
Unas felt a little relieved after killing the culprit with a single shot, but now escape seemed even more difficult.
The Divine Shield dissipated into silver light and vanished; he was now completely unable to withstand the massive attacks from the firebirds and the ground army.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three firebirds exploded beside him, and the shockwave and heat wave that could no longer be ignored struck, leaving the Paladin dizzy and disoriented.
He couldn't stay here any longer, but the only exit ahead was completely blocked. His eyes quickly scanned the entire plain and caught sight of a hole to the side. That was where the firebirds had come from, and also the closest place to escape.
However, the entrance to the cave is low, and rushing in would inevitably result in fierce attacks from Flamewaker hunters and mages on the ground.
Divine Protection!
Another life-saving shield has been activated. The dark gold spherical shield can reduce any damage by 50%, but it only lasts for 12 seconds.
Unas dared not waste a single moment, immediately cutting out two giant steel shields from his Spatial Bag to firmly clamp himself down, making him look like a winged, shrunken old turtle as he plummeted downwards.
A barrage of fiery spears and Fireballs rained down upon him, but he ignored them and charged headlong toward the cave entrance, getting hit by more than a dozen spears along the way. Fire spells like Fireballs exploded all over him.
Fortunately, the Divine Protection and the Fire Resistance Aura reduced fire damage by 70%, and most of the flying spears were blocked by the steel shield, allowing him to successfully rush into the cave entrance.
Unas breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that his injuries were not serious. His exposed leg had been pierced by three spears, but fortunately, no bones or tendons were damaged.
The Fireballs exploded repeatedly, causing minor internal injuries, but with his powerful regenerative abilities, these minor internal injuries could be healed with just a short rest.
However, the situation did not allow him to rest. Flocks of firebirds arrived one after another, and the sound of thunderous footsteps echoed on the ground. The enemy would not let him go.
As he flew forward, he observed the terrain. It was a relatively wide tunnel, and he could foresee that the cave at the end of the tunnel must be quite large, but the possibility of it being a dead end was extremely high.
Looking back, the three or four fastest firebirds were already quite far away, but the pursuers on the ground were nowhere to be seen.
The enemy's speed advantage is a factor that can be exploited to achieve victory.
Unas suddenly turned around, his scythe slicing horizontally. The three firebirds that were advancing side by side were caught off guard. A flash of white light streaked across them, and they were all cut into six bright sparks.
He then switched to his golden spear and fired a lightning bolt, hitting the fourth one, which was further away, turning it into a pile of charred remains.
The fifth and sixth, still bloodthirsty and undeterred by the death of their companion, charged forward together, seemingly about to self-destruct.
Having reached the brink of despair, Unas began to fight desperately. He switched to his scythe, and instead of retreating, he advanced, rushing in front of the two firebirds just before they self-destructed, and fiercely swung his scythe!
Like a balloon that hadn't been fully inflated being punctured, the two firebirds were shattered in their self-destruction, greatly reducing the power of the explosion and failing to truly harm the Paladin.
Good idea! As long as we can cut them down at maximum speed, their self-destruction is nothing to worry about.
Although the risks are extremely high, requiring very high flight and slashing speeds, this is currently his only option besides escaping.
Kill! Execute the enemy ground troops before they arrive!
The seventh, the eighth, the ninth...
After killing fifteen in a row, the firebirds behind finally realized their fear and dared not pursue alone any longer. At this moment, the Flamewaker hunters on the ground appeared, Unas, seeing that things were not going well, immediately fled a short distance inward.
The firebirds gathered above the hunters' ranks, flying slowly to keep pace with the ground troops.
Unas cursed and mocked loudly, trying to lure a few over, but it seemed that he had killed too many birds earlier, and the firebirds were already terrified. A dozen or so birds gathered, but none of them fell for his trick.
Seeing that he couldn't gain any advantage, he immediately increased his speed and quickly crossed the end of the tunnel, arriving at the large Cave inside.
Upon entering, I was astonished by the spectacular sight before me. The Cave was extremely high, and in the center stood a giant tree that was entirely red and shiny. Its branches were thick and sparse, and it was completely bare and leafless. The whole tree looked like it had been carved from a red gemstone.
Looking around, there were no other exits; it was indeed a dead end. But Unas was not desperate. This giant tree was a natural and complex cover. As long as he had enough strength, he could fight off the enemy here.
He pressed himself close to the giant tree and saw bird nests among the branches, some even containing bright red eggs. On a whim, he quickly collected them.
Climbing all the way to the top of the giant tree, plucking feathers from passing geese, they collected more than twenty bird eggs of various sizes. In the largest nest at the top of the tree, a purple-feathered eaglet the size of a calf suddenly sprang out.
The fledgling eagle was extremely aggressive, even spitting out a thin stream of purple flame at the sight of a stranger. Unas showed no concern for protecting the rare animal, ruthlessly wielding his scythe and cleanly cleaving the fledgling eagle in two.
A large amount of golden threads emerged from the eaglet's corpse and flowed into the Fire Ring. Only then did Unas realize that the jet-black Ring had turned golden-red at some point, like red-hot iron, yet his fingers felt no heat at all.
After absorbing the golden threads, a life force emanated from the Ring, as if it were about to come alive. Suddenly, a clear cry resounded in the Paladin's mind.
"Huan"
The mysterious words seemed to be a key, unlocking a memory in Unas's mind. He immediately understood the true origin of the Fire Ring —it was the ashes of a certain phoenix.
Its name is "Huan". It was born in a world filled with flames, where it was the strongest by nature and the apex predator in the food chain.
But one day, its carefree life was suddenly interrupted. It was forcibly summoned to an otherworldly battlefield by a force and forced to fight a terrifying evil god. In the end, both sides perished together.
The phoenix, also known as the immortal bird, is a divine species. Even when reduced to ashes, it retains an indestructible soul imprint. As long as it accumulates sufficient energy, it can be reborn from the ashes.
However, its ashes were found and hidden by a mage, and were eventually used as material to make a Ring, which became the Fire Ring on the Paladin's finger.
Judging from the story Gordon told, his ancestor should have been this monk.
Unas deduced that Huan's summoner must be High Elf, because the Sunstrider family of the Elf royal family is also known as the Phoenix Royal Family, and summoning and controlling phoenixes is a unique secret art of their race.
That evil god is most likely a deity worshipped by the Zul'Aman Trolls.
The origin of this ring is now finally clear. During the War of the Trolls, the Sunstriders summoned "Huan" from some other world to fight against the evil god of the Trolls. At that time, humans and Elves formed an alliance, and Gordon's ancestors participated in the war as part of the aid to the Elves. They took the opportunity to steal the ashes left behind after Huan's death and used them to create this precious Ring that has been passed down through generations for their descendants.
To this day, the many firebirds that Unas killed happen to be descendants of a certain phoenix, and most of them possess a diluted phoenix bloodline.
Like a sacrifice, the life force that spilled out after their death could be absorbed by the Fire Ring, that is, the radiant one. The stimulation of the same source finally awakened the mark of its soul, meeting the basic conditions required for rebirth.
Perhaps because of the inheritance contract signed with the Ring, Unas could sense Huan's emotions—extreme hunger.
Of course, what it wants to eat is not food, but a massive amount of fire energy; the life energy emitted when the firebird dies is an even greater tonic.
Unas became excited, and a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited within him. The phoenix was a top-tier fire-type magical beast, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a divine beast. With its help, they should be able to break through the encirclement of the Fire Elemental army.
His only worry was whether Phoenix would obey his commands.
Huan sensed the Paladin's worry and immediately responded telepathically: their contract would remain valid after its resurrection, and if the Paladin helped it be reborn, it would be willing to live in harmony with the Paladin.
Direct communication between minds is hard to fake, Unas was willing to believe it this once, especially since he had no better way to escape at the moment.
He took out the Crimson Diamond, and the Fire Ring immediately liquefied, enveloping the entire gem. Golden-red flames ignited on the gem, and Huan began to frantically absorb the fire energy.
Perhaps it was intentional, but the flames did not harm the Paladin's hand, but holding a ball of fire was too conspicuous and inconvenient for combat.
Unas hid Huan and the gem in the Purple Eagle's nest at the top of the tree, and hastily covered the nest entrance with the carcass of a baby eagle. Just as he finished doing this, a large flock of firebirds flew into the Cave together.
They circled cautiously under the tree until they discovered that all the eggs in the lowest nests were missing, at which point they became anxious.
The egg thief could only be that terrifying enemy at the top of the tree. The birds hovered, but dared not rush up, for a new, inexplicably terrifying pressure had appeared.
Only when the Flamewaker's hunter force poured in and organized a large number of people to climb the trees did the firebirds dare to follow the hunters and fly up a little.
They quickly discovered that all the eggs in the nest had disappeared, and immediately panicked.
A dozen or so pairs of firebirds that had lost their offspring swarmed up, Unas suddenly jumped up from the treetop and threw out five bird eggs with a wave of his hand.
The eggs were all very similar, and even the mother bird had to carefully distinguish them. The flock couldn't tell which egg belonged to which bird for a while, and they all rushed to catch the eggs, which slowed down their Charge and made their formation chaotic.
Unas's giant scythe was already itching for a bite.
Become Huan's food— Divine Storm!
Enveloped in a golden storm, he suddenly charged into the flock of birds, the Scythe of Elune in his hand spinning wildly like a windmill.
The scythe transformed into the millstone of death, and blood rain and firelight burst forth in the air, creating a dazzling display of colors, interspersed with long streams of golden threads that flowed into the purple nest atop the tree.
Under the scythe, none of the dozen or so pairs of firebirds survived; they were all reduced to dust, and even the five eggs were shredded.
Unas, knowing when to stop, quickly dodged the hunters' volley of arrows by circling around the tree and flew back to the treetop.
Suddenly, the Purple Nest burst into flames, which quickly spread to the top of the tree. Within the huge fireball, it seemed as if a shadow was struggling.
It's coming out!
Unas was thrilled. "Let me add some more ingredients for you."
He threw all the bird eggs from his Spatial Bag into the fireball, as if pouring oil into a fire. The fireball began to roll violently, and the flames intensified several times over.
A series of mournful cries rose from the flock of birds hovering below, but before they could launch their next suicidal attack, a high-pitched, clear cry resounded throughout the space.
That was a cry brimming with new life and joy; "Huan" had finally risen from the ashes!
The fireball at the treetop suddenly exploded, and in the Rain of Fire, a beautiful golden-red creature was revealed in its entirety.
Its body was long and slender, twice the size of a young dragon. Fiery feathers, radiating a dazzling halo, covered its entire body, and several long tail feathers swept gracefully in the air. Its broad wings spread out, revealing more than a dozen tiny chicks hiding beneath them.
It turns out that it didn't eat the bird eggs for energy; instead, it protected them and shared the excess energy, causing them to hatch prematurely.
The flock of birds below went from mourning to delight; due to their innate blood ties, they couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence for the phoenix.
Unas gazed at the newborn divine bird, he could sense that the binding force of the contract had not completely disappeared, and that there was still a connection between their hearts, which reassured him.
He tentatively tried to land on the phoenix's back, and seeing that Huan did not refuse, he confidently stood on its back.
"Take me out of here, Huan!"
The newborn phoenix responded to the Paladin with a high-pitched cry, then lowered its head and swooped down.
The birds avoided it, not daring to directly confront its sharp edge.
But the Flamewaker- hunting troops don't care if you're a turkey or a phoenix; wherever the Paladin is, that's their target, and rows of flaming spears rain down upon them.
A rainbow-like halo suddenly appeared around Huan, and all the spears that entered the halo's range were instantly melted into sparks.
Several mages mixed in with the hunters also threw out some Fireballs and other attacks, but the phoenix, as a top-tier divine beast born of fire, was immune to all evocation fire magic.
Conversely, the Flamewaker, being a half-flesh, half-elemental creature, was utterly unable to withstand the extreme heat brought by the phoenix.
Wherever Huan passed, the Flamewaker on the giant trees were instantly roasted into jerky, and the hunters on the ground had nowhere to retreat. The swooping phoenix brought only death.
Rushing downwards with unstoppable momentum, Huan swiftly entered the tunnel and burst out in one breath.
The enemy troops on the plains were regrouping. No one expected that the trapped enemy would break free. The appearance of the phoenix shocked them even more, leaving them completely bewildered.
Huan carried the Paladin swiftly toward the exit, easily breaking through the defensive barrier set up there.
Only a few quick-reacting enemies managed to stop it, but it was too late; the phoenix's graceful tail feathers vanished into the distance in the blink of an eye.
The Fire Elemental elementals in the two large holes behind them posed no threat to them. Huan flew at an extremely fast speed, seemingly bursting out of the hole in an instant, Unas quickly breathed the air outside the Molten Core.
"Ignore the ground attacks, maintain speed, and keep moving forward," Unas urgently ordered, his only thought being to reach the front lines.
The Fire Elemental forces on the ground were completely immune to the phoenix's attacks. They hadn't flown half a mile when they crashed into the retreating Firelord.
The reason it can be described as a defeat is evident from his disheveled appearance: his massive body had shrunk by at least a third, his imposing armor was shattered, and even his giant Warhammer, which was burning with flames, was nowhere to be found.
Is this still the fearsome Fire Elemental Lord?
Unas could hardly believe his eyes. Had they won while he was away?
Less than three miles away, the Dwarf battle formation could already be vaguely seen in the distance, but there were no pursuers in the air behind the Firelord, so the situation was still uncertain.
When they met on a narrow path, Huan and Firelord simultaneously unleashed their hostility. Both were top-tier Fire Elemental beings, born from different worlds, so there was no clear distinction between them in terms of superiority or inferiority.
Perhaps this time we can determine who is stronger? Unas gripped his scythe tightly. Although his first thought after escaping was to seek revenge on the Wind Prince and Demitrian, the Firelord in his current weakened state was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Kill!"
He made up his mind, let out a low shout, Light Wings and flew into the air, his giant scythe aimed straight for the Firelord's neck.
Huan, his fighting spirit surging, spat out a dazzling golden beam that shot straight into the Firelord's chest.
Although Ragnaros was already at his last gasp, he had nowhere to escape. His kingly pride compelled him to stand up and fight, his two fiery giant fists striking the man and the phoenix from different heights.
Unas was already wary, so he didn't use his full speed. He stopped abruptly and then moved again, drawing a Z-shape in the air to dodge the giant fist and circle around to the back of the Firelord's head.
Huan neither dodged nor evaded, but crashed into the giant flaming fist at top speed. The two collided violently in mid-air, and after a deafening explosion, the Firelord's entire right arm disappeared.
Although Huan's feathers were blasted into a mess, the divine light in its eyes remained undiminished, and it was not truly injured. The rainbow pillar it spat out left a large, dented hole in the Firelord's chest.
The Paladin wasn't idle either. The Scythe of Elune swiftly sliced across the back of the Firelord's Fang of the Wolf God, tearing a huge gash in the elemental body that ordinary iron couldn't harm. Liquid, like boiling magma, gushed out wildly from it, accompanied by flames.
Having suffered repeated heavy blows, the Firelord was powerless to launch a proper counterattack and could only futilely swing its left arm at the Paladin.
He's actually this weak!
Unas was overjoyed. He easily dodged the attack by flapping his Light Wings, and then raised his scythe to sever the Firelord's left arm at the armpit.
Huan seized the opportunity to get close to his opponent, his claws gripping the Firelord's abdomen tightly, his entire head burrowing into the hollow of its chest, siphoning the Flame Firelord's essence.
The Fire Elemental Lord howled in agony, spewing Flamestrike that struck its chest, but Huan remained unmoved, continuing to devour everything in its path.
The Firelord's body shrank at a visible rate. He was filled with remorse, but he could only blame himself for his strategic mistake.
He had thought that by personally Charge, he could surely defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, but he did not expect to run into a brick wall - the Water Elemental Duke fought desperately, two huge metal Dwarves came to hold them back, and the hundred-man Mage Corps led by three Archmages launched a continuous barrage of magical attacks.
Firelord had exhausted himself to kill the Water Elemental Duke and his minions, and was just about to wipe out the two annoying Dwarves when his nemesis, Wind Prince Thunderaan of the Wind, attacked him from behind, catching him completely off guard.
The battle immediately intensified. The Firelord fought with all his might, using every trick in the book. He severely injured the two Dwarves in the encirclement, scattered the Mage Corps, and almost perished together with the Wind Prince and his minions.
But that was the end of it. He was nearly exhausted and could only retreat in a sorry state. The Dwarf army suffered heavy losses, and intimidated by the power he had displayed, no one dared to pursue him.
The Firelord Demon thought he could safely retreat to his lair, but unexpectedly, he encountered this extremely powerful human and phoenix, who cornered him in just two rounds.
Now, his only option is self-destruction. He is already a demigod, so even if he self-destructs, he will not truly die. As long as his soul imprint returns to the Fire Elemental Plane, the Firelord can still return to the world.
But as soon as he activated his attack, the human with a pair of Light Wings plunged the eerie scythe into his brain. The shadow of a giant white wolf instantly filled his mind, fiercely pouncing and swallowing his consciousness into darkness.
That was close!
Unas thought to himself, thankfully he was extremely sensitive to the self-destruction of Fire Elemental creatures after being "trained" by the firebird. When he saw the abnormal fluctuations in the flames on the Firelord, he stopped it in time with the wolf god's ferocity imbued in his artifact.
Otherwise, given the power of the Fire Elemental Lord, its self-destruction could very well collapse the entire place, and even the Molten Core might cease to exist.
The failed self-destruction of the Flame Firelord transformed into a giant ball of flame, which the Phoenix devoured, quickly consuming it all and even letting out a satisfied burp.
The Fire Elemental forces that surged down from the ground to save their Lord witnessed this scene and, as if the end of the world had arrived, scattered and fled in panic.
The phoenix's feathers shimmered with a golden light, as if a comb were running through its fur, giving it a completely refreshed appearance. It was clear that devouring the Firelord had greatly increased its strength.
Unas shared Huan's joy and laughed loudly, "Now that you're full, let's go! There are still two scumbags who must die!"
