Chapter 266
Chapter 266 Infernal Tyrant
“Dammit, do Kane and Lucy still have a chance?” The green dwarf Pyro asked grudgingly.
The black-robed adept beside him took out a handful of bone fragments from his robe and scattered it before himself. He knelt to look at the bones before shaking his head in disappointment.
Murderous light gleamed in Pyro’s green eyes, “I spent that fortune to hire you, and this is what you tell me?”
The black-robed adept spoke calmly, “Sir, as a Second Grade adept, I am sure you have a perfect understanding of the mechanisms behind divination magic. The more we know about the opponent, the more capable we are of eliminating factors beyond our control. This brat has been hiding in the adepts’ tower this whole time. It was already a difficult task to pierce through the defenses of the tower and predict the path of his fate. Moreover, I am certain that Lord Kane had an eighty percent chance to beat this brat when we made our preparations three months ago.”
“You mean to say he suddenly obtained a golem of this level within these three months?” Pyro quickly calmed down and asked in a collected manner.
“Indeed!” The black-robed adept nodded, “This unknown factor has already informed me of the truth. The sudden increase of his prowess had occurred right after the last time I successfully used divination magic on him. It is clear that his fate had suddenly shifted during these three months. It is unclear how this happened! I suspect… he carries with him something that can affect even fate. A unique artifact, a magical item, or perhaps… a person!”
Pyro wasn’t very good with all this talk about fate. However, even if he didn’t understand the mechanics behind it, he knew one thing for certain. His failure today was a certainty! As a decisive person himself, he didn’t bother to wait and see the result of the fight. He immediately turned and disappeared into the depths of the forest, bringing with him this ‘failure’ of a diviner.
Most adepts were actually very well protected during a fight between adepts, thanks to the existence of defensive magic. Consequently, area-of-effect spells were rarely cast during a duel, as the power of such attacks were usually spread out over a large area, causing them to be much less powerful. Even the occasional uses they saw in battle were often for the purpose of restricting movement.
But this damned demon of flames… it… it could even deal 110 points of damage with a massive area-of-effect spell. Kane was so mad at this fact that he desperately wanted to shout out in anger at that moment!
110 points!
Even Kane, who thought very well of himself, could barely reach such intensity with his attacks. And this was assuming he used his most powerful single target spell! Yet the opponent was able to do more damage with a sea of flames that he casually tossed out than an attack that he had to prepare for an extended period of time.
Kane had no choice but to teleport rapidly along his frost path. He had to avoid the pain of being roasted alive.
The Infernal Tyrant might not have been very smart, and thus could only chase after Kane blindly, throwing fireballs as it did so. However, Greem was able to take perfect advantage of the situation. He instantly let loose a slew of seven of eight Magma Fireballs.
These weren’t meant to hurt Kane. Rather, it was to destroy his path of frost!
Kane had clearly attached his Spirit flux to the frost path that he had laid across the battlefield. It was through that mental connection that he was able to lock onto a position and teleport there when he needed to. However, now that the path had been blasted in four or five separate segments, they had been completely disconnected. Even though the path hadn’t been utterly eradicated, the fragmentation of the path still caused most of it to be mentally disconnected from Kane.
In a single blow, Kane’s mobility had been greatly stunted! There was less space for him to move about now!
In the meantime, Lucy had also shown herself several times. The violent Screeching Blast she’d unleashed had even minced one of the Tyrant’s arms to pieces.
Sadly, this had absolutely no effect on a blazing monster hell-bent on attacking. Especially not a monster with no concept of pain or fear. A massive halo of fire blasted apart, and a new arm of black-red fire formed once again.
At the same time, having lost the protection of Kane’s ice shields, Lucy was once again injured by the terrifying flames!
This time, it wasn’t just their robe being ignited. Even their body, hair, and flesh started catching fire…
At this point, the siblings were no longer hoping for a victory, but an opportunity for escape.
Unfortunately for them, just the Infernal Tyrant alone would be enough to deal with. However, they still had another opponent- Greem. He had turned into a Grim Reaper, moving about the edge of the battlefield and shutting down every opportunity of escape they had.
Finally, the Infernal Tyrant made a final move. A terrifying Firestorm ravaged the battlefield. Kane and Lucy’s screams rang out simultaneously, echoing in the burning winds.
The next second, a completely charred and unrecognizable figure stumbled out of the sea of flames. But Greem was already waiting at the edge of the battlefield, the Scroll of Voodoo in hand.
A ferocious Fire Core Explosion erupted on their bodies. This pair of sibling adepts that had plagued the central continent for many years had finally reached the end of their lives!
