The Magma Breath of Grolda was like a volcano erupting after centuries of accumulation, with such force and intensity of energy that it could overwhelm Earl Mi’s ice power and inflict real damage on him.
The coverage area of Magma Breath extended from the sky to the earth, completely blocking all of Earl Mi’s escape corners.
The only retreat path was guarded by the flame Phoenix at the rear.
Seeing all routes of retreat blocked, Earl Mi displayed "anger and despair," as terrifying icy energy congregated around him, transforming into an ice storm that blotted out the sun and swept towards all directions.
The first to bear the brunt was the Magma Whale Grolda.
Even with the hindrance of Magma Breath, the ice storm still raged towards Grolda. Moreover, because it was releasing Magma Breath, Grolda’s massive mouth was agape, and the ice storm was about to blow into its mouth and enter its body.
Instinctively, Grolda wanted to stop the Magma Breath.
The flame Phoenix, seeing this, immediately roared in fury, "Don’t stop! Grolda, you fool, this is a desperate struggle, trying to exchange injury for injury to force you to stop!"
The flame Phoenix also knew that if the ice storm entered Grolda’s body, it would certainly suffer, but after all, this is the home court of fire-element creatures. Once injured, soaking in the Lava Lake for a while will ultimately heal it.
Therefore, even if it’s an exchange of injury for injury, it still thinks it’s worth it! But what it didn’t know was that all this was Earl Mi’s calculation, designed just to find Grolda’s elemental core.
Grolda didn’t think that far ahead either, but since Phoenix told it not to stop, Grolda suppressed the desire to close its mouth and continued to spew Magma Breath.
In fact, the Magma Breath did deal damage to Earl Mi.
Even though he transformed into an energy state, he still needed to maintain ice power. Ice is naturally incompatible with fire, and under the restraint of magma, his true body could not avoid being affected.
In fact, the Magma Breath directly forced out his true body.
In his true form, for the first time, a bluish crystal escaped from his sharp lips, which was the blood of the awakened Demon People.
Even the Blue Lantern Flower on top of his head seemed to wilt slightly.
Seeing this, the flame Phoenix was delighted and said, "Continue, he’s already done for!"
But as soon as it finished speaking, it discovered that not only did Grolda not continue spewing Magma Breath, but the force of the Magma Breath was also becoming weaker and weaker.
The flame Phoenix turned its head in anger, just about to scold Grolda when it discovered that Grolda was suddenly hovering in mid-air motionless, and those eyes burning with black fire somehow started to freeze over...
The flame Phoenix was momentarily stunned, and a look of shock flickered in its flames-formed eyes.
It was quite close to Grolda and knew that Grolda’s elemental core, inherited from the Old King, was a mass of fiercely burning black fire, connecting to its eyes. Hence, its eyes appeared in the form of black fire.
Now, Grolda’s eyes were freezing over, which meant... its elemental core was also frozen?!
As soon as it realized this, Earl Mi, who previously seemed desperate and weak, suddenly turned its head.
In his cold eyes, where was there any "anger, despair, anxiety"? What was seen before was entirely an illusion!
Though Earl Mi said nothing, it was as if the flame Phoenix could hear his taunting: "Found it."
Found what?
Before the flame Phoenix could break away from Earl Mi’s gaze, an extremely icy ray shot towards its forehead.
In its forehead was exactly where its elemental core was located!
Instinctively, it wanted to flap its wings to cover it, but it realized its wings had already been frozen by the previous ice storm. It could only watch helplessly as the white light penetrated its forehead.
Immediately, the flame Phoenix felt its mind freeze, and in the next second, it fell into boundless darkness.
Before its consciousness froze, it seemed to see a scene from an Otherworld, a world shrouded in darkness, barrenness, coldness, and fear...
The flame Phoenix and the Magma Whale, both with solidified eyes of fire, fell from the sky one after another, crashing into the ice river formed by frozen smoke, and fell heavily into the dust.
Witnessing this scene, Dangross could hardly believe its eyes, Phoenix and Grolda, both actually defeated?
"How could it be? How could it be! Phoenix is the strongest under the New King, it can’t lose. And Grolda’s fire was obtained from that One... it’s the inextinguishable ember... how could they fail..."
Dangross’s tone carried disbelief, and all its past confidence seemed to turn into bubbles at this moment.
As Dangross was muttering to itself, a shadow suddenly blocked its view.
"Found you."
With a low hum, Dangross only saw a pair of large hands wearing exquisite gloves reaching towards it.
When it realized what was happening and wanted to flee, it was too late. A pulling force pulled its true body out of the eyes of the fire giant.
The person who caught Dangross was Angel.
After continuously narrowing down the range, Angel finally determined Dangross’s specific location.
"Didn’t expect you to be hiding in its eyes, covered by the energy of the fire giant outside, no wonder it wasn’t found earlier." Angel muttered softly while focusing his attention on Dangross.
He was really curious about what Dangross actually looked like.
Angel had previously imagined that since Dangross always stayed on other elemental creatures, perhaps its true body looked like a parasitic worm, or like a small flame fish with a sucker.
But when he actually caught Dangross, he was stunned.
His previous guesses were entirely wrong; Dangross did not look at all like a parasitic creature, nor did it look like a magical creature.
It was just a hand.
A severed hand.
Though it was only a palm and a wrist less than five centimeters long, it was indeed a hand, even resembling a human hand quite a bit. The only difference was probably that this hand was composed of flames.
It had five fingers, and all five fingers were flexibly moving.
