Chapter 130 Karug, Dead
"Outsiders! How dare you trespass into my Radiant Rock City! Do you really think my Molten Empire is without anyone?!"
Karug's voice was like a volcanic roar, causing the square ground to tremble slightly.
"Hmph, a local tyrant hiding in the debris, he really thinks he's something."
The sinister wizard sneered, and a chilling dark red light began to gather at the tip of his staff.
"We've come here to inform you, and the Molten Empire behind you, that the ancient ruins and their contents now belong to our Ash Ring."
"If you know what's good for you, obediently withdraw your troops from the mine, and we might consider sparing your lives."
"Otherwise—today will be the day Yaoyan City is destroyed!"
"Arrogant!"
Karug was furious. Without another word, he swung his battle axe fiercely!
A massive, blazing axe blade, as white as the sun, tore through the air, carrying the force to incinerate everything, and slashed toward the two Ash Ring wizards!
"Let's do it!"
The sorcerer and witch shouted simultaneously, brandishing their staffs. Dark red fire pythons and crimson fire clouds reappeared, meeting the flaming axe blades head-on!
boom!!!
Three powerful second-circle spells collided violently in mid-air!
Blinding light and a violent energy shockwave instantly swept across the entire plaza!
Cracks appeared in the walls of nearby buildings, and the ground was scorched black!
The three of them, including Luo Lin, were forced to retreat repeatedly by the shockwave, and were horrified.
This is the power of a second-circle wizard fighting with all their might! Compared to a first-circle wizard, there is an insurmountable gap in terms of total energy, spell power, and control!
Lord Karug was fighting two opponents at once and was not at a disadvantage!
The blazing white flames of the axe blade were incredibly powerful, severing the dark red fire python and scattering the crimson fire cloud!
He roared repeatedly, and as he swung his battle axe, streaks of flame slashed across the ground, forcing the two Ash Ring wizards to retreat and dodge, making them look somewhat disheveled.
"This native fire—it's so powerful!"
"Pure and explosive!"
The witch's expression changed slightly; her fiery cloud was easily torn apart by the opponent's white flames.
"We can't hold back! Use that!"
A ruthless glint flashed in the sinister wizard's eyes.
The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously took a step back, crossed their staffs, and began chanting difficult and lengthy incantations.
A cold, evil, and dark aura, completely out of place with the scorching surroundings, began to emanate from them. A dark purple energy ball, twisting and turning, seemed to contain the wailing of countless vengeful spirits, condensed at the tip of the staff!
The fluctuations of that energy sphere were all too familiar to Rolin—it was the power of the corrupting source!
They actually incorporated this chaotic and evil energy into their own magic!
Lord Karug also sensed the threat. His white soul fire suddenly contracted, and he held his battle axe horizontally in front of his chest, frantically gathering blazing white flames, preparing to take the brunt of this strange attack.
The dark purple energy ball finally took shape and shot towards Karug like a meteor!
Wherever it passed, even the air seemed to be corroded and frozen!
Karug roared, pouring all the blazing white flames he had condensed to the extreme into his battle axe, and with a simple and unadorned horizontal slash, met the energy ball head-on!
Blazing white and dark purple, order and chaos, collide once again!
But this time, the result was completely different!
The moment the dark purple energy ball came into contact with the blazing white flame, there was no violent energy annihilation explosion. Instead, it rapidly polluted and eroded the blazing white flame like a leech!
The light of the blazing white flames dimmed and became mottled at a visible speed, as if the explosive will contained within them was being extinguished and distorted by an invisible force!
Lord Karug's face showed disbelief and astonishment. He could feel the power he had poured into his battle axe rapidly dissipating and deteriorating!
That dark purple energy was like the most vicious plague, flowing through the connection between the flames and the energy, and in turn eroding his soul fire and body!
"No—what kind of power is this?!"
He let out a painful roar, trying to pull back and sever the connection, but the dark purple energy had already clung to him like a bone-deep infection!
"Die!"
The sinister wizard grinned maliciously, and he and the witch simultaneously increased their energy output!
puff!
The dark purple energy completely eroded the blazing white flames on Karug's body and invaded his body!
His tall body trembled violently, and the white soul fire flickered wildly, its color beginning to change to dark red and even dark purple!
Strange cracks and purplish-black veins appeared in the stratum corneum under the skin!
"My lord!"
The surrounding soldiers and generals who rushed to the scene cried out in despair.
Luo Lin and the other two felt a chill in their hearts.
They never expected that the Ash Ring would possess such a vicious spell, turning the power of the corrupting source force into its own!
This power is a natural enemy to Karug, whose foundation is pure fire!
Karug let out a final, unwilling roar, attempting to unleash all the remaining power within him and perish together with his enemy.
But the dark purple energy had already eroded his core, and his soul fire surged suddenly, then went out completely like a blown-out candle!
The massive body crashed to the ground, lifeless.
Karug, the ruler of Radiant Rock, a hidden second-ring powerhouse and Lord of the Forge, perished under the bizarre combined attack of two second-ring Ashen Ring wizards who fused with the power of corruption!
The square was deathly silent, save for the slightly panting voices of the two wizards from the Ash Ring and the lingering fluctuations of evil energy in the air.
The sorcerer wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth caused by forcibly activating the forbidden spell, looked at the remaining native soldiers and generals in the square who had lost their leader, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Now, who still wants to resist?"
An atmosphere of despair enveloped the entire city of Yaoyan.
The situation of Luo Lin and his two companions instantly became precarious.
Without Karug's protection, they will directly face the threat of two second-circle wizards who are still in good condition and use strange methods!
The difference between the first and second rings was clearly demonstrated in the battle just now.
Even if the three of them used all their skills, they probably wouldn't be able to last more than a few rounds against their opponent.
Lord Karug's massive body collapsed on the scorched plaza, the white soul flames extinguished, symbolizing the collapse of the highest military force in Obsidian City.
The remaining soldiers and generals were as if their spines had been removed, and the flames burning in their eyes were now only filled with bewilderment and fear.
Faced with two second-circle wizards exuding a cold and evil aura, he couldn't muster even the slightest thought of resistance.
The sinister wizard now knew his name was "Emberthroat" Sares. He surveyed the desolate square with satisfaction, his gaze sweeping over the natives whose soulfire flickered, like a butcher examining lambs to the slaughter.
His companion, the second-ring sorceress "Blazing Corpse" Lysdra, looked around warily, the dark purple energy remaining on her staff pulsating slightly.
"A bunch of useless trash."
Sares spat contemptuously, the blood frothing at his lips.
"Perfect, it saves us a lot of trouble."
His gaze suddenly shifted towards the fortress, locking onto Rolin and his two companions who were quietly retreating, trying to blend into the chaotic crowd.
The explosion and Karug's fall had drawn most of the attention, but Sares clearly hadn't forgotten the "native fire-purifying masters" who had caused him trouble.
"Trying to leave?"
A cruel smile curled at the corner of Sares's mouth.
"You few insects are still somewhat useful."
With a wave of his staff, several dark red flame chains shot out from the ground like venomous snakes, swiftly coiling towards Roland and his companions!
"Scatter!" Flame Shield roared, slamming his tower shield into the ground. A crimson light shield instantly expanded, blocking his path.
Nightingale's figure flickered, drifting to the side like a phantom. Roland retreated rapidly, simultaneously unleashing star power from his fingertips, shooting several rays towards the connection of the fiery chains.
Chi Chi!
The stellar energy ray struck the chain, sending up a few sparks, but failed to break it!
A second-circle wizard's spell power far exceeds that of a first-circle wizard!
The fiery chains deftly bypassed the Flame Shield's tower shield, attacking the three at once!
The nightingale was the fastest and narrowly avoided the attack.
Luo Lin was also forced to stop. He used the Starflow Water Field to deflect the chains, which grazed past him, but the scorching air currents still stung his skin.
The Flame Shield was bound to the edge of the tower shield by two chains, causing the crimson light shield to fluctuate violently, and the dark red flames on the chains to continuously erode the protection.
"Hmph, a mere trick."
Sares sneered, tapped his staff again, and the chains tightened sharply, about to drag the Flame Shield down.
Just then, a powerful energy surge suddenly erupted from the direction of the stone chamber where the Prophet Mog meditated deep within the fortress!
A thick, crimson pillar of light, composed of countless tiny flames, shot into the sky, with ancient runes faintly flowing within it!
Immediately afterwards, an aged yet majestic voice resounded throughout the square, spoken in ancient and obscure syllables of the indigenous language, yet all the natives present understood its meaning: "In the name of the Fire Court, summon—the Forge Guardians!"
Rumble!
