On the World Stage
"Bzzzt----!"
In the arena's sky, the force field representing the Magi Domain unfolded once again, covering the entire venue.
"Boom----!"
Almost at the same time, the flames around Yumiyell exploded, transforming into rolling infernos that drove up the temperature throughout the arena.
The heat wave was like a gale formed from waves of scorching air, sweeping toward Luo Zhen and the others.
"Ugh...!"
Kanata, Chloe, Yuri, and Mina immediately deployed magical barriers in front of themselves, blocking the heat wave.
Luo Zhen, however, took no defensive measures. He merely activated the Adamantine Strength formula, allowing himself to stand beneath the heat wave while fixing his gaze directly on Yumiyell.
Everyone, including Jess, had assumed that Luo Zhen, after using Fire Realm Incantation on the Ninth Artificial Sky Island, could convert mana directly into flames and heat just like Yumiyell. But Luo Zhen himself naturally knew his own situation, and he understood Yumiyell's special nature even better.
He could tell at a glance what was behind Yumiyell's unique trait.
"An ability like Karna's?"
That was right.
Yumiyell possessed the same ability as Karna.
That ability was one of Karna's Noble Phantasms—Mana Burst (Flame).
Through this skill, Karna, the incarnation of the sun, could transform mana into blazing flames. He could use it directly for offense and defense, attach it to his weapon, and even fly by jetting out flames, reaching supersonic speeds in the air. It was an extremely powerful skill.
Besides, Mana Burst was not particularly rare to begin with. In the world of the Fallen Knight, every Blade-Breaker understood this technique. Yumiyell was simply special in that she could convert mana into flames and heat, possessing the same Mana Burst (Flame) ability as Karna.
With this ability, Yumiyell's strength was obvious even without using *Collapse
