After making this decision, Angel prepared to take out the scouting puppets and then retreat into the mini passage.
However, just then, Angel felt a gaze tightly locked onto him.
Discovered? Angel wasn’t surprised by this, but this gaze gave him a vague sense of threat.
Angel slowly lifted his head and looked towards the distant Lava Lake.
From the lake in the distance, he saw a giant, engulfed in raging flames, emerging.
Only the head of the fire giant was exposed at this point, but it was already as big as a small building. One could imagine, considering the usual ratio, its true body might be nearly a hundred meters tall!
And at this moment, the fire giant’s gaze was locked onto him.
There was no emotion in its gaze, neither malicious nor benevolent. But it hadn’t appeared when Angel was by the Lava Lake before, yet now it had, and it was staring right at him.
Angel couldn’t believe it simply came out to show itself.
As they locked eyes, the upper body of the fire giant began to slowly rise out of the lake, leaning forward with its hands already on the shore, its gaze still fixed on Angel. Clearly, it had already targeted Angel.
The faint threat in its gaze made Angel realize that this fire giant was definitely not weak.
Though he might not necessarily defeat it one-on-one, Angel knew it wouldn’t be easy to triumph over it either.
Especially since this was its home turf.
Angel considered for a moment and decided to open the door for a temporary retreat, and even if they had to fight, to do so away from the central area where fire energy was boiling.
However, before Angel could open the door, he sensed an energy rapidly approaching him from underground.
Angel reacted quickly, launching himself more than ten meters back and suspending in midair before the cliff.
At the same time, from the cliff’s ground, a dark purple ghostly flame burst from the earth, blasting a hole in the already dry scorched earth.
As the ghostly flame shot upwards, Angel locked eyes with a pair of dark green eyes.
This was the second time Angel had confronted these eyes; the first was through the vision of the scouting puppet. At that time, its eyes were indifferent and ruthless, but this time, Angel saw battle intent flickering within them.
Darkflame Werewolf.
This elemental creature that had previously wandered along the shore of the Lava Lake now appeared on the cliff, facing Angel.
Ithad a hunched back, its hands almost reaching its knees, but its head was raised, and the dark flames of its fur, coupled with the green flames in its eyes, intertwined into an intense will to kill.
When the killing intent arose, its hands touched the ground, and it propelled itself forward like a burning purple firebomb, charging directly at Angel.
Angel had known before that once this Darkflame Werewolf went on all fours, its speed was almost sonic.
In the blink of an eye, the Darkflame Werewolf had leaped to Angel’s level.
Angel could clearly see the Darkflame Werewolf’s feral, cruel grin, as it swung its claws, burning with purple fire, fiercely towards Angel’s face.
Yet just as it struck, a pure white shadow shielded Angel.
The claws struck, not Angel, but an icy shield created by the pure white shadow.
The purple fire quickly extinguished within the icy shield.
Moreover, a terrifying frost aura spread from the icy shield, rapidly freezing the Darkflame Werewolf’s claws.
This freezing continued to rapidly spread.
Seeing this, the Darkflame Werewolf didn’t hesitate to sever one hand, using the counterforce from the severing flames to roll backward, landing on the cliff.
Once it landed, the severed limb of the Darkflame Werewolf began to burn anew, and the flames reshaped into a new claw.
This was the trait of elemental creatures; unless countered by restraining elemental power or struck by potent energies, it was difficult to completely destroy them. As long as a bit of their elemental true spirit remained, they would not perish.
The Darkflame Werewolf recovered swiftly, but Earl Mi would not remain idle.
The Blue Lantern Flower on Earl Mi’s head swayed, and terrifying cold aura enveloped his surroundings, far surpassing the external fire elemental energy, creating a domain of icy mist.
This was Earl Mi’s awakening talent, forcefully altering the environment.
In this environment, the Darkflame Werewolf couldn’t leverage its territorial advantage.
Even though the Darkflame Werewolf’s purple fire possessed Official Wizard Level damage, the cold aura suppressed it by a third of its power. Coupled with Earl Mi’s innate strength, the Darkflame Werewolf had no resistance and was frozen into an ice sculpture.
After accomplishing all this, Earl Mi returned to Angel’s side. He did not retract the icy mist domain but turned around, his slit pupils staring at the distant fire giant.
When Earl Mi froze the Darkflame Werewolf, the fire giant had already placed its hands on the shore, and as Earl Mi turned, the fire giant launched itself powerfully from the shore. With nearly a hundred meters of its body, it leaped from the Lava Lake, charging directly at Angel with enormous force.
In an instant, the fire giant was above Angel.
Angel looked up to see a colossal figure blocking the sky, and a fiery fist like a meteor aimed directly at him.
It was already a bit late for Angel to open the door.
Moreover, Earl Mi had already rushed up, creating a large arc-shaped icy shield to meet the fiery fist.
Ice and Fire, at this moment, clashed directly.
