"Uh, actually, if you can run a little faster, I still have a way to clear the field directly."

Just as everyone was about to pull the monsters, Mu Fengyu's words startled them. They all looked at him strangely.

Siyou Qilong's eyes widened as he asked in surprise.

"What did you say? You can clear the field? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Genjiro frowned and said skeptically.

"Yu, this isn't the time for jokes. What exactly is your plan?"

Peroroncino also lowered his drawn bowstring, stepped forward, grabbed Mu Fengyu by the collar, and shook him.

"Quit keeping us in suspense and tell us already!"

Mu Fengyu brushed his hand away, scratched his head, and smiled sheepishly.

"Hehe, I just didn't remember. I've got a trump-card item that can unleash a large-scale attack. It should be able to deal with these Flame Wolves."

Everyone exchanged looks, both pleasantly surprised and somewhat doubtful. Genjiro said skeptically, "Really? Don't mess with us."

Mu Fengyu patted his chest in assurance.

"Trust me, it'll definitely work this time! But you have to run outside my attack range first."

Mu Fengyu took a boat-shaped item from his inventory and tossed it directly to Peroroncino. Before he could ask anything, Mu Fengyu explained.

"Here. To make sure you can get out, this item is called [Noah's Ark]. Its effect is that it can instantly move you to a safe area."

Peroroncino caught [Noah's Ark], inspected it carefully, and said.

"Is this thing reliable?"

"Heh, if you don't want it, give it to Siyou Qilong. Or you can stay here and watch me perform."

Peroroncino gritted his teeth and activated [Noah's Ark].

In an instant, a beam of light enveloped everyone. Their figures vanished from the spot and appeared in a safe area far away.

Once he was sure they had reached safety, Mu Fengyu looked at the wolf pack before him and smiled faintly. He took a greatsword wreathed in blazing fire from his inventory.

He gripped the hilt with both hands as the flames on the blade burned fiercely. Since his second form also had a weakness to fire damage, the greatsword in his hands would inflict considerable damage on him as well.

Mu Fengyu's gaze was firm, carrying an air of resolve as he walked toward the wolf pack step by step.

With every step, his presence grew stronger, and the surrounding air warped from the scorching flames.

The wolf pack sensed his threat and bared their fangs, assuming attacking stances.

But Mu Fengyu remained utterly unmoved. He raised the sword over his head with both hands, and the flames on its blade seemed to sense something, gathering of their own accord toward the gem in the hilt.

Once every last flame had vanished, the greatsword began changing form. Its broad blade gradually became slender, but the transformation continued. Mysterious, intricate runes appeared along the narrow blade, flashing with dazzling light.

The originally heavy hilt became light and exquisite, while the gem set within it radiated an even more brilliant glow.

Mu Fengyu's HP also plummeted drastically, but he paid it no mind as he looked at the endless wolf pack ahead.

"Heh, I'm about to launch a badass-as-hell attack."

The instant he finished speaking, he swung the greatsword fiercely. A flaming sword aura roared forth, shooting straight toward the wolf pack.

The instant he finished speaking, he swung the greatsword fiercely. A flaming sword aura roared forth, shooting straight toward the wolf pack.

The sword aura was like a berserk fire dragon, carrying boundless destructive power.

Wherever it passed, the air ignited instantly with crackling explosions. Any wolves that touched the sword aura turned to ash at once, without even having time to scream.

The flaming sword aura continued forward, carving a deep trench through the ground. Rocks shattered, and magma erupted from below.

The withered trees around it were burned to ash in an instant, and the entire area seemed to have fallen into an apocalyptic sea of fire.

The sword aura showed no sign of weakening as it continued to spread, destroying everything that stood in its path. Even distant mountain peaks were sliced in half and collapsed with a thunderous crash.

Yet the aftershock produced by this powerful attack was equally terrifying.

Amid dazzling light and billowing smoke, the whole world seemed to fall silent. Only the raging flames and the battlefield devastated beyond recognition bore witness to that astonishing strike.

After unleashing that earth-shattering blow, the sword in Mu Fengyu's hand could no longer bear the strain. Dense cracks spread across its blade. With a sharp crack, it shattered completely, turning into countless fragments that scattered across the ground.

At the same time, Mu Fengyu's body began flickering with unstable light, and his outline gradually blurred. The light scattered from his body like shattered stars.

"Damn it, I can't handle this weakness damage."

In the end, his body completely transformed into a stream of data and dissipated amid the ruins he had created with his own hands.

In the distance, Peroroncino and the others stared blankly at the apocalyptic sight before them, too stunned to close their mouths.

Billowing smoke blotted out the sky, while the scorching flames still raged as if they would swallow the entire world. The already chaotic battlefield had become a scorched wasteland, crisscrossed by ravines, overflowing with magma, and littered with massive boulders from collapsed mountains.

Garnet's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

"Th... this was really caused by him alone?"

"How many more weapons like that does Yu have? That attack wasn't any weaker than Super-Tier Magic, was it?"

"Yeah."

Peroroncino took a deep breath.

"Don't stand around marveling. Let's hurry back and see whether Yu's still alive. With terrain destruction on this scale, who knows if he's okay..."

Everyone nodded and operated [Noah's Ark] toward Mu Fengyu's location. Upon arriving, they saw a pyramid-shaped item standing amid the ruins.

The pyramid's door slowly opened, and Mu Fengyu walked out completely unharmed.

Seeing that Mu Fengyu was safe and sound, everyone finally let out the breath they had been holding.

Bellriver excitedly stepped forward and punched Mu Fengyu in the chest.

"You bastard, you scared us half to death!"

Mu Fengyu smiled and returned the punch.

"I'm fine, aren't I? Don't be so dramatic."

Genjiro stepped forward and asked curiously.

"Is that the resurrection item used for GM testing? It's really amazing."

Peroroncino also leaned in and asked eagerly.

"Yu, forget the resurrection item for now. Was that thing you used an item or a weapon? Its power was way too terrifying! Do you have any more? Get me one too."

Mu Fengyu scratched his head and took out another five or six of the same weapons.

"I had the design department make these for me. Other than being powerful, there's nothing special about them. They constantly reduce HP while in use, and the attack strength is determined by how much HP they consume."

"My second form gets an attack bonus at low HP, so with this, I can deal Super-Tier Magic-level damage. It's basically a mutual-destruction move. Honestly, it's pretty useless."

Garnet looked at the ruined terrain before him and sighed.

"It's actually not bad. After all, Yu can use this weapon to cast a chantless Super-Tier Magic attack. It'll definitely have unexpected effects in guild wars."

"Yeah. Then we'll be relying on you in future guild wars, Yu. I wonder how the other teams are doing."
