At the same time, Hua Que’s stature also suddenly doubled in size!
“The feeling of power, this is the feeling of power, yi ha ha ha ha ha…” Hua Que laughed loudly, but as she turned her head and looked toward one end of the chain, her laughter abruptly ceased.
At the end of the chain was a peculiar circular pattern.
—A glowing halo shrouded in mist, and within the halo was utter darkness, akin to a solar eclipse.
If Angel had been there, he would have recognized this pattern as identical to the mark of the Abyss Alchemy Society he saw in Sky Mechanical City; this pattern was called… the Profound Seal.
On the other side, Aoluxiya, who had just emerged from the Void Tower, felt restrained all over her body but was not angry, rather delighted.
As soon as the Primeval Flame Fuyi was born, its level naturally suppressed all other flames.
Even Aoluxiya could not avoid it.
If not for Aoluxiya herself being a descendant of a Demon God, with an immensely powerful ability to control flames by nature, she would probably be like the other demons, led by the nose by their own flames.
“Lord Aoluxiya,” Greerwu and Tandin had been waiting outside the Void Tower and approached as soon as they saw her.
“Lord, have the great demons made any demands?” Tandin asked, knowing from experience that the great demons wouldn’t just accept conditions for no reason.
Aoluxiya: “None.”
To be precise, these great demons didn’t dare to make any demands. Aoluxiya also hadn’t anticipated Galal sending out messages to the Void Tower.
—Galal was the most powerful Demon Lord under the Lord of the Flameless.
This time, the extinguishing of the light in the Void Tower was also a maneuver by Galal.
With Galal’s deterrence, how could these great demons dare to make demands?
“Let’s go, the time is near, it’s time to meet it…” Aoluxiya whispered softly: “I heard it’s a Half-Blood Demon? Quite interesting, a Half-Blood Demon making it this far is quite rare, indeed.”
…
Not only did the fiery patterns in the sky affect the city of Lassudral, but in the dark expanse of the Void, on a swiftly advancing sheet of ice, some were also impacted.
As they drew closer to the location of Lassudral, all the wizards entered a state of alert.
The first to notice the anomaly was still Monty.
Almost every wizard had some mastery of fire-related spell techniques; though Monty was a wizard of frost, he actually had dabbled in all varieties of spell techniques.
Initially, Monty noticed that the torches on the ice floe were acting strangely. The burning sparks did not dance with the winds of the Void, but instead pointed uniformly in one direction—towards Lassudral!
Baffled, Monty cast a fire-related spell technique, and that’s when he realized something was amiss.
The fire had broken free from his control and voluntarily fell into the Void.
Witnessing this, Monty turned to the others and said, “Something’s amiss in Lassudral. All wizards, try not to cast any fire-related spell techniques.”
This measure hit the wizards specializing in fire techniques particularly hard. Fire wizards constituted the largest group among those attuned to elements, and on the ice, at least thirty percent of the wizards wielded fire-related powers.
With Monty’s words, it meant that these thirty percent of fire wizards had lost at least eighty to ninety percent of their combat efficacy.
