At that moment, rocks crumbled and fell from the Flame Monarch's body. His hands went numb, and his entire body shook.♦
"How could this humanoid tiger monster overpower me so badly in a contest of strength?"
Only now did he understand how terrifying Garen was. He looked up at Garen, who hovered in the air with an imposing presence, and his expression grew serious.
"You forced me to do this."
The Flame Monarch, originally several hundred meters tall, was soon engulfed in surging flames, red light coursing over his body...
He shrank from several hundred meters to just a few dozen.
Though his body had become smaller, his aura was several times stronger.
Now, a red halo seemed to cover the Flame Monarch. His eyes slowly turned red, and his presence grew even more fearsome.
"It's been a long time since I entered Battle Form."
The Bloodthirsty Giant Axe in the Flame Monarch's hand had also shrunk considerably. It was clearly a Divine Artifact.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of something tearing through the air rang out. The Flame Monarch's speed had increased several times, and he was instantly in front of Garen.
"Oh, not bad. Now I'll have to take you seriously."
Garen could sense that after transforming, the Flame Monarch's speed and strength had both multiplied several times. Even Garen wouldn't dare be careless in a direct confrontation. Of course, if he wanted to kill the Flame Monarch quickly, he could harass him with his speed or attack his soul; that shouldn't be difficult. After all, the Tiger-Striped Warrior's most outrageous advantage was his speed.
But his main goal was to temper himself and try to comprehend the basics or achieve a fusion of profound mysteries, so he decided to have some fun fighting the Flame Monarch.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
