Rioldo's death exploded in Xiro's mind like a bomb. Fury and hatred instantly filled his entire consciousness. He did not stop to consider why Chen Rui had suddenly gained such strength; only one thought remained in his heart—to grind this damned, despicable human into dust!
Xiro was extremely close to Chen Rui. With this full-force attack, even Lola would not have time to save him.
Unfortunately, the enraged elf did not see the Fairy Dragon's expression. Only Dursa noticed that not a trace of panic showed on the Fairy Dragon's beautiful face. She had no intention whatsoever of "rescuing" him.
In the blink of an eye, Xiro had already charged up to Chen Rui. Just as the elven elder mistakenly believed the human was about to be annihilated by his fury, a hand appeared in his vision. The next instant, his neck was tightly seized, and his whole body was lifted into the air. The suffocating sensation left the elf unable to react for a moment, and he could only instinctively kick and flail.
When Xiro finally came to his senses and tried to use the power of his kingdom to break free, he felt a tidal force of vibrations surging from his opponent's hand. His peak Kingdom-level power was struck again and again by that oceanic force, scattering completely. He could no longer gather his kingdom successfully.
Xiro shuddered. At last, he realized how terrifying his opponent was—at the very least, a powerhouse equal to himself! The elven elder immediately understood that he had made the gravest mistake possible. As a mage facing an enemy of the same level who excelled in close combat, he had not widened the distance. Instead, he had delivered himself right into his opponent's hands!
That mistake was enough to be fatal!
