Chapter 299
Chapter 299 Battle in the Night
The return trip was much more pleasant compared to the lively trip here.
Even though they passed through the same places, there were fewer magical creatures that dared to chase after the battleship.
Greem was confused at first. However, after talking with some of the accompanying passengers, he discovered that the Silver Union was enraged after the abduction incident executed by the Harpy Kingdom.
Consequently, the Silver Union had gathered a group of Third Grade adepts and invaded the Harpy Kingdom. They slew nearly a thousand of the ugly creatures, including a hundred harpy witches.
Unfortunately, they only saved two of the kidnapped adepts. The remaining few had clearly been unable to endure the ‘savage’ mating process and were drained of all their essence.
The two survivors were both body refining adepts. Their Physiques were comparable to magical beasts.
Sadly, even they had been squeezed to the brink of death by the time they were finally rescued. It appeared it was going to be hard for them to completely recover without one or two years of rest!
A black and red Magma Shield suddenly appeared between the two.
The flames didn’t even have time to spread across the surface of the shield before a crimson fist smashed right into the center of it.
Boom! The Magma Shield exploded.
For the first time, Greem’s Magma Shield had been shattered into sparks and rubble before it could finish materializing.
The wind howled. The metal fist broke through his defensive barrier, the fire still blazing on it, and continued on its path towards Greem. The swift and powerful strike had been partially obstructed by the Magma Shield, but it could still deal as much as sixty points of elementium damage.
Most elementium attacks tended to be unconcentrated. However, the enemy’s iron fist was a vigorous and concentrated blow. All of its strength had been gathered into a single fist. Its offensive ability was beyond that of an elementium attack.
Greem was caught by surprise. He hit himself on the chest and a brilliant ‘Flame Halo of Repulsion’ activated.
The Flame Halo of Repulsion was nothing more than a scorching flame shockwave that spread out it a halo. Everything within its range had to endure damage from the flames, as well as a certain level of physical impact.
This was why the spell was often used by fire adepts to create distance from their enemies!
That said, this last minute Flame Halo activation was not going to do much against a body-refining adept. Greem stumbled backward. The punch’s air pressure struck his chest and sent him flying.
Greem heard his ribs cracking from the impact while he was still sailing through the air. He spat out black blood at the same time.
The crimson silhouette roared. The blood-colored aura shrouding his body blasted away the fearsome flames reaching towards him. A single stomp and the opponent charged towards Greem’s falling body. Two iron fists sent a barrage of punches, and a curtain of furious crimson shadows flew at Greem.
Boom.
Flames appeared in the dark forest.
Greem’s tall body instantly disappeared in the pillar of fire that had erupted out of nowhere.
Flames burst apart in an empty space a hundred meters away as Greem stumbled out of the fire.
The crimson attacker roared once more. His body twisted in midair and once again sped towards Greem like an arrow fired from a bow.
“Die!” Greem growled and lifted his hand. Three Explosive Fireballs exploded towards the enemy in a triangle formation. Greem lifted his right palm again, right after the Explosive Fireballs were launched. A Magma Fireball quickly formed in his hand.
The crimson silhouette did not choose to avoid the fireballs shooting towards him.
Bloodhand Butcher was an experienced body-refining adept. He knew very well what would happen if he dodged. If he stopped for even a moment, a storm of elementium spells would drown him before he could get close. The terror of a fire adept was fully demonstrated when they were able to put distance between themselves and the enemy.
Without any hesitation, the Butcher raised his arms up to cover his face. A powerful crimson forcefield trembled around him. He chose to endure the attack.
Bang. Bang. Bang…
Three consecutive explosions. The dark forest was painted a bright red.
The violent elementium flames dragged everything within a twenty-meter radius into a realm of fire and ash.
The tall, straight, and thick trees were instantly ignited, turning into towering torches in the night. Wood splinters were set on fire by the ocean of flames. The intense fire was blinding.
The Butcher fearlessly crashed through the center of the explosion. He had just reached the edge of the sea of flames when a speeding Magma Fireball entered his sight.
Dammit! The speed at which the Flame Demon fired spells was terrifying indeed!
He cursed internally as he drew the sword from his back. He slashed forward, a desolate crimson light streaking through the air, and slashed the fireball in half.
He tried once again to charge through the explosion, but a massive flame fist was waiting right behind the Magma Fireball. It smashed him directly in the face, knocking him right back into the flames he had attempted to escape from.
The scarlet lava from the shattered Magma Fireball fell upon the green grass, instantly scorching the earth. An oppressive figure, shrouded in dancing flames, silently stood before the Butcher. It cut off all routes of attack available to the enemy.
Greem finally saw a chance to counter-attack with the Infernal Tyrant covering him. He grabbed three potions from his belt and drank everything at once.
After quickly treating the wounds he had sustained, Greem lifted his head. Two bright sparks lit up within his ebony eyes.
A massive amount of wild, blazing flame energy started to gather around him!
