Chapter 1456 - 1453: Power to Fight Back

Igor's flames were like a signal, a signal that made everyone present feel a resolute power.

This power seemed to convey to everyone, do not waste time on trivial matters.

The flames shimmered on the League Guards' weapons, those flames like fiery birds, flapping their wings under the entire sky.

"Is it enough?"

Igor's gaze scanned the League Guards, each glance exerting pressure.

These League Guards had been composed before, each seemed capable of fighting a hundred, but now faced with the flames, each was rendered speechless.

The Vero People inherently held a complex attitude toward fire. The Vero Realm was abundant with water, and sometimes fire appeared like a deity in their world, but they did not fear it, for their water world could extinguish any flames.

However, Igor's flames could burn on water, a sight they had never encountered before in their eyes.

Such flames were enough to leave them dumbstruck.

But their mission was to guard, they were to protect this place, not allowing anyone to pass easily.

"Apologies, we cannot comply!" The League Guards' leader declared resolutely, even though their weapons were completely conquered by the fire.

"If that's the case, then I have no better solution." Igor spread his hands and shrugged, showing his helplessness.

Reasoning with a stubborn person is always difficult. Thankfully, Igor learned from his good friend Kadi how to efficiently solve a problem.

Igor raised his hand, the fire spread, the blue flames like fire snakes, swimming around, tightly encircling the League Guards.

"Well, seems like we don't even need to help!" Douglas appeared relaxed, but his heart was stirred, as Igor's displayed power in front of him was quite formidable.

"It's the first time I've seen such flames!" Amoon watched intently, it seemed such fire was very enlightening to him.

"This is the Devouring Power, when two energies collide, they randomly produce flames, forming these blue flames. It's a rare occurrence, and I'm quite surprised to see it here." Igor explained truthfully.

The League Guards, at this moment, were immobilized, wanting to resist, but having no means, facing flames, no matter how they retaliated, these flames showed no sign of diminishing, and their resistance only made the fire wilder and more rampant!

The concept of surrender did not exist in the world of the League Guards. They would rather fight to the death than admit defeat.

The current situation was awkward for the League Guards, they intended to test others, yet now before they could even make a move, they were completely surrounded by the opponent—a ridiculous situation indeed.

Moreover, they had no means to fight back. If their opponents decided to crush them severely now, they would stand no chance to fend off.

Their pride was precisely what stopped these League Guards from giving up, it was unthinkable for them. In just a few days, the blows they received were overwhelming, deeply troubling their spirits.

As the Empire's top force, to be consecutively struck by two powers in such a short span, was an insult to them and the entire Empire. Such blows were unbearable. Faced with the rebellion of the Gaoju Family, they lost without a fight, did nothing, Gaoju Family's attack was ghostly—they didn't even see shadows before failing—and this time, another bewildering defeat, facing waves of fire with no ability to retaliate, such failure left them voiceless.

This humiliation made them unwilling to accept being inferior to Igor, defiantly standing there, showing no hint of yielding.

"The Vero People's stubbornness is like this, perhaps we cannot persuade them." Amoon said.

Igor looked toward the old beggar, seeking a negative answer from him.

"Sometimes, these high-and-mighty people always show this kind of inflexibility, it seems to be our tradition." The old beggar agreed, equally bewildered by the situation.

"If that's the case, I suppose I have to offend these gentlemen." Igor shook his head, truly out of solutions.

Igor drew the Meteor Sword from his body, Spirit Power flowing down the blade. He intended to deliver a conquering blow, one that would render the League Guards completely incapable of resistance.

"Don't do it, Igor." Douglas raised his hand to stop Igor.

Igor looked at Douglas confused, thinking if this group isn't subdued, they can't advance further, what does stopping him now mean?

"When dealing with stubborn people, such actions will backfire." Douglas explained, "Trust me, it's right."

"Then, elder, what should we do now?" Igor asked, feeling this was a serious matter.

"Haha, haven't we achieved our goal now?" Douglas chuckled, looking towards the cave behind them.

Only then did Igor realize, he had been muddled, now that the League Guards were controlled, there were no barriers before them, they could directly enter the cave.

Calling it a cave was actually a disguise; whoever was hiding behind it, they'd find out there.

"Elder is right, I got confused, infected by their stubbornness, I actually tangled with them!" Igor scratched his head, evidently admitting to an error.

"Now, we don't need to bother about them anymore, they can't break through your flames anyway, by the time your flames disappear, we'll probably be inside." Douglas continued smiling, seemingly intentionally for the League Guards to hear.

These words indeed caused unrest among the League Guards, as if these words genuinely unsettled them, seemingly suggesting what they guarded behind them was more crucial.

"Breaking this technique won't take much time, rest assured, it will be done soon." Igor spoke with confidence, having encountered the World Setting Technique early on in Guru Mountain; dismantling it was no difficult task.

This made the League Guards even more frantic, completely defenseless against the encircling flames...

This helplessness, this powerlessness, made them feel extremely embarrassed.

No one expected that the strongest force of the Wensi Empire, would, at this moment, be utterly unable to fight back here...
