Chapter 153: Golden Flame Reveals It’s Power! Slaying the Lava Giant [2] (Fixed)

[Name: Crimson Crystal Lava Giant]

[Level: 42]

[Life Tier: Second]

[Attribute: Fire]

[Characteristics: An elemental lifeform born from concentrated earth-vein fire elements, possessing tremendous strength and defensive capabilities.]

[Core: High Purity Fire Element Core.]

Upon seeing the final line, Victor’s eyes lit up.

A High Purity Fire Element Core?

He immediately focused on the enormous crimson crystal embedded in the giant’s chest.

As his High Level Fire Element Affinity took effect, he sensed an extraordinarily concentrated and pure fluctuation of fire-attribute mana.

Compared to the first High Purity Fire Element Core he had obtained, this crystal contained an even greater amount of energy!

"Who would have thought I’d encounter another opportunity like this?" Victor smiled.

Originally, he had only intended to find a way out of the underground passage. Instead, he had discovered not only a vein of Crimson Flame Crystals but also a special elemental lifeform possessing a High Purity Fire Element Core.

While Victor was examining it, the Crimson Crystal Lava Giant had already noticed the human intruding upon its territory.

BOOM!

It unleashed a deafening roar!

The sound echoed throughout the underground cavern, shaking loose stones from the nearby walls.

The lava giant raised its right arm as huge amounts of crimson magma flowed along its arm, gathering into an enormous fireball nearly three meters in diameter!

Fwoosh! BOOM!

The fireball shot forward!

A terrifying heatwave rushed toward Victor, illuminating the rocks along its path in brilliant crimson!

However, faced with the rapidly approaching fireball, Victor did not immediately dodge as he would have before.

The moment his opponent began gathering fire elements, he had sensed the Earth Vein Golden Flame within his body becoming unusually active.

It was almost as though it had encountered some incredibly tempting food.

"Want to eat?"

Victor glanced down at the Crimson Flame Fang in his hand.

Without hesitation, he infused a wisp of Earth Vein Golden Flame into the sword!

Buzz!

A layer of pale golden light appeared over the dark-red blade!

Tightening his grip, Victor slashed fiercely toward the enormous fireball!

BOOM!

The instant the blade collided with the fireball, pale golden flames spread along its edge. The violent crimson flames were forcibly torn apart by the golden fire, creating a large opening!

Immediately afterward—

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Large amounts of fire-element energy vanished into the golden flames!

Within seconds, more than half of the enormous fireball had been devoured!

The remaining flames exploded toward both sides, crashing into the nearby rocky walls.

RUMBLE!

Huge sections of rock shattered one after another, but Victor remained standing in his original position, the Crimson Flame Fang in his hand radiating a faint golden glow.

"Hahaha!" He burst into laughter. "So this is the power of a high tier natural flame?"

Although that sword strike had consumed a considerable amount of mana, the result had exceeded his expectations.

Against ordinary fire-attribute magic, the Earth Vein Golden Flame could exert such an overwhelming suppressive effect!

Of course, this didn’t mean he could simply ignore every fire-attribute attack.

If an opponent’s power far exceeded what he could withstand, he might still be severely injured before the flames could be devoured.

But against this lava giant, whose primary attacks relied on fire elements, he already possessed a considerable advantage.

"Now, it’s my turn!"

Victor pushed off the ground!

His entire body shot toward the black rocky shore beside the lake!

The Crimson Crystal Lava Giant clearly hadn’t expected its attack to be neutralized by such a tiny human.

With an enraged roar, it raised its enormous stone palm and smashed it toward Victor!

BOOM!

A massive palm several meters wide slammed down!

The hard ground instantly fractured, sending large chunks of black rock flying in every direction!

However, Victor had already disappeared from his original position.

Shadow Blink!

Buzz!

He appeared atop a rock less than eight yards away, beside the giant’s arm, and raised the Crimson Flame Fang high!

Heaven Burning Sword Art!

Flame Line!

Blood-red mana condensed along the blade. Within the concentrated fire-attribute sword light, a wisp of pale golden flame appeared!

Swish!

The sword descended!

Hiss!

The previously incomparably hard black stone began softening the instant it came into contact with the blade!

CRACK!

A single strike carved a deep gash into the lava giant’s thick right arm!

Large chunks of broken rock mixed with crimson magma tumbled from the wound!

ROAR!

The giant unleashed an enraged roar. Before it could raise its arm again, however, the pale golden flames clinging to the wound underwent a change!

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Golden flames spread rapidly along the lava patterns inside the giant’s arm!

The fire-element energy supporting the entire arm began draining away!

"It really works!"

Excitement flashed through Victor’s eyes.

If ordinary magical beasts relied on flesh and mana to sustain their lives, the Crimson Crystal Lava Giant before him depended almost entirely on fire-element energy to maintain its body.

And devouring fire-attribute power was precisely what the Earth Vein Golden Flame excelled at!

RUMBLE!

The lava giant frantically swung its right arm, attempting to shake off the golden flames clinging to it.

Yet no matter how fiercely it struggled, the pale golden fire continued spreading along the lava patterns covering its body.

As more and more fire-element energy drained away, the once-sturdy stone arm began breaking apart piece by piece!

Finally, the entire right arm snapped off!

BOOOM!

Several tons of black rock crashed into the magma lake, sending an enormous wave of lava surging into the air!

The Crimson Crystal Lava Giant roared deafeningly. Stepping forward with its enormous body, it attempted to crush Victor with its remaining left arm!

But this time, Victor did not retreat. He raised his head toward the creature towering more than ten meters above him, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

So what if it was Level 42?

Previously, when facing that Level 41 fire mage, he had needed to rely on the surrounding earth-vein environment just to escape his opponent’s restrictions.

But now, the Earth Vein Golden Flame had become his own power!

Although his level was still only 23, his advantage against a lifeform sustained almost entirely by fire elements was obvious!

"Let’s end this!" Victor roared as he leaped into the air, the pale golden light surrounding the Crimson Flame Fang abruptly intensifying!
