Chapter 405: Chapter 210: Ferocious and Blazing, the Mighty Lightning Element

Amid a series of sharp cracks, the fissure expanded rapidly. A creature a full twenty meters tall, composed entirely of fire, with a humanoid upper body and a lower body of pure flame, crawled out.

"A Fire Elemental Giant Spirit!"

Pei Ze’s gaze hardened as understanding instantly dawned on him.

’The Flame-toothed Giant Elephant must have used some kind of Summoning Technique, offering that Fire Element Core as payment to summon a Fire Elemental Giant Spirit from the Fire Elemental Plane to help it.’

The moment it appeared, the Fire Elemental Giant Spirit stuffed the crystal into its mouth, let out a satisfied belch, and then charged menacingly toward Pei Ze.

The situation instantly became a four-on-one fight!

With the Fire Elemental Giant Spirit joining the fray, the situation for Owlwood’s side, which had been retreating step by step, finally stabilized.

Seeing this, Owlwood and the Rainbow Tree Rope Demon felt a great sense of relief.

Although the Flame-toothed Giant Elephant was pained by the loss of the Elemental Core, it also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Tining grew anxious at the sight and was about to step in to help, but then a brilliant silver light erupted from Pei Ze’s body—one so bright that not even the dazzling lightning around him could conceal it.

As Pei Ze reached out and traced a circle in the air before him, dense silver patterns peeled away from his body. They coalesced in mid-air, forming a series of rotating, intersecting rings that resolved into a mysterious and profound Rune Array.

In the next instant, a golden stream of light composed of countless tiny runes shot out from the center of the Array, piercing the void like a bolt of lightning and striking the Fire Elemental Giant Spirit!

For a brief moment, time seemed to stand still.

The next moment, the Fire Elemental Giant Spirit let out a sudden, high-pitched scream. It shrank rapidly, like a snowflake exposed to heat. In an instant, its massive twenty-meter frame had shrunk to less than five meters, and the roaring flames that wreathed its body grew dim, as though they might flicker out at any moment.

Even back when Pei Ze was only a Level 2 Wizard, his Burning Rune Fission could kill a Level 3 Wizard.

Now, cast by him as an Elemental Mage, the power of his Burning Rune Fission was more than a hundred times greater!

Even a being as strong as the Fire Elemental Giant Spirit was grievously wounded after taking a direct hit!

Without pausing, Pei Ze flashed behind the Fire Elemental Giant Spirit in a streak of lightning and plunged his hand directly into its body.

BOOM!

A ferocious burst of lightning erupted, instantly engulfing the Fire Elemental Giant Spirit!

When the lightning dissipated, the Fire Elemental Giant Spirit had vanished. In its place, Pei Ze held two Fire Element Cores.

One was the payment from the Flame-toothed Giant Elephant.

The other was the core left behind after the Fire Elemental Giant Spirit’s demise.

Owlwood, the Rainbow Tree Rope Demon, and the Flame-toothed Giant Elephant watched in horror, a chill seeping through their bodies as if they had been plunged into an icy abyss.

’The Fire Elemental Giant Spirit they had gone to such lengths to summon was killed in a single exchange. How could they possibly continue this fight?’

For a moment, the thought of escape uncontrollably surfaced in the minds of all three.

Any previous thoughts of seizing a soul had long since vanished, replaced by sheer terror.

But how could Pei Ze possibly let them go?

He had no intention of dragging this out. Without hesitation, he ignited his Energy Force Field. No longer dodging, he began to weather their attacks directly, launching an even more ferocious assault of his own.

The Rainbow Tree Rope Demon was the first to suffer.

The tentacles it brandished were stopped just three or four centimeters from Pei Ze’s skin.

No matter how it attacked, it could not break through that invisible Energy Force Field.

Then, a torrent of lightning bolts tore through the sky, descending and engulfing it with a deafening roar.

The lightning raged, spreading for a full forty to fifty kilometers and turning almost the entire sky into a Thunder Prison.

Owlwood and the Flame-toothed Giant Elephant had to muster all their strength, barely managing to block the lightning that assailed them from all directions.

But when they finally caught their breath, they were horrified to find the spot where the Rainbow Tree Rope Demon had been was now empty. A great clan leader, a Fourth-level Powerhouse, had been utterly annihilated by the lightning, blasted into nothing but ash!

Owlwood’s heart sank to the depths.

A chill ran through the Flame-toothed Giant Elephant’s heart, and it was flooded with intense regret.

’If I’d known Tining had such a powerful figure backing her, I would have had to be insane to attack her.’

But it was too late for regrets.

Snapping back to its senses, the Flame-toothed Giant Elephant turned and fled without a second thought.

’The situation was obvious. Even if it and Owlwood continued to fight, they were no match for Pei Ze. Fleeing was their only chance of survival.’

Seeing this, Owlwood cursed inwardly but reacted quickly, also turning to flee.

But it hadn’t gotten far before a flash of lightning appeared before it. Pei Ze blocked its path, his expression ice-cold as he stared it down.

"Wait, this is a misunderstandi—"

Owlwood wanted to smooth things over, but Pei Ze had no intention of hearing its explanation. He simply pointed a finger, and a sky full of scorching lightning surged forth like a tidal wave, crashing down on it with overwhelming force!

BOOM!

The power of death and despair that Owlwood was so proud of was as useless as a mantis trying to stop a chariot. It could only watch in despair as the raging tide of lightning surged forward and consumed it!

After cleanly dispatching Owlwood, Pei Ze turned to see that Tining had already intercepted the Flame-toothed Giant Elephant, and the two were locked in a fierce battle.

Tining’s strength was already a cut above the Flame-toothed Giant Elephant’s. Since she wasn’t aiming for a kill, it was a simple matter for her to keep it pinned down and prevent its escape.

When the Flame-toothed Giant Elephant saw that Pei Ze had killed Owlwood and was now turning his gaze upon it, its eyes filled with despair.

A few breaths later, the Flame-toothed Giant Elephant followed in the footsteps of Owlwood and the Rainbow Tree Rope Demon, reduced to ash by the lightning.

Watching the Flame-toothed Giant Elephant get annihilated before her very eyes, Tining couldn’t help but feel a little dazed.
