Agni and Leona glanced at the scene while being protected by a Divine Barrier created by Agni, the "true form" of Blaze, the Witch of Purgatory, was now at full display! Both siblings instantly recalled the tales that they have heard many times in their village.
About the "Snake of Flames" or the "Snake of Violet Fire", a monstrous mythical beast that all Fire Giants feared, that was said to appear once every two hundred years to torment them for their sins… It was mostly folklore for them, and they never imagined they would ultimately stumble upon the real deal.
"T-That's surely the Snake of Flames!" Leona said.
"So this monster is real!" Agni muttered. "She's… too strong… W-What can we do?!"
The young man filled with the intent to avenge his grandfather had now lost most hope, as the titanic snake made of purple flames rushed towards them, opening her jaws furiously.
"I'LL BURN YOU ALL, WEAKLINGS!!!"
Without even conjuring any spell anymore, the monstrous Witch of Purgatory became an amalgamation of divine spells, she became her spells. With her very presence, her surroundings were set ablaze with toxic, poisonous purple flames.
FLUOOOOOOSH!
The toxic, poisonous flames kept spreading around, all foes were burned and poisoned, as Agni and Leona started running away while being protected by many Divine Beasts on Drake's side, including Frost and his gang, who were constantly killing the other Divine Beasts to keep them at bay.
Meanwhile, the siblings noticed Hector, Larzak, and Kraxka struggling against the gigantic snake. Her enormous body made of flames proved to make her near-invulnerable to damage. Hector's strongest beams of light and light spear attacks simply didn't hurt her at all, as she continuously regenerated her health and mana by burning things.
Kraxka's ice spells instantly melted against her, and any other element he could wield proved to be useless as well, his Divine Aura of Frost was the only thing he had left, which he employed, shaping it as a rope to attempt at stopping Blaze.
Larzak gathered his Darkness and Light Magic to unleash the power of Eclipse Magic, but even that proved to be rather useless, at most they could hold her back, combined with Hector's Chains of Heaven, which chained her down for a few seconds before the furious and ravenous witch freed herself.
"Dammit! She had grow too strong…" Hector muttered. "I knew that necklace was suspicious! I should had cut it down before this happened…!"
"Maybe, but it's not completely your fault." Larzak ran at the side of Hector. "We never knew what this monster would be up to!"
"Everyone else is already busy dealing with this monster's friends!" Kraxka groaned, as he summoned dozens of walls made of ice, all of them were being melted and shattered into pieces one after another.
"RAAAAAAHHH! PERISH!"
Blaze was growing bored, as she quickly gathered her Mana into her throat and then unleashed consecutive blasts of toxic purple flames with crystalized centers, resembling falling meteors that continuously fell in front of her foes, her aim wasn't the best as she was trying to crush them.
"We can't rely constantly on Lord Drake!" Hector cried. "We've not been growing this strong for nothing. After all the training he had done with me, I cannot disappoint him!" Hector recklessly rushed towards the snake, gathering all the magic he could.
His armor shone with bright divine light as his spear grew several meters larger, Larzak and Kraxka rushed to his side, trying to stop him.
"Hector! Wait!" Kraxka cried. "Don't be reckless!"
"Stop!" Larzak roared, but both lizardmen were a few seconds too late.
"[Celestial Heavenly Spear Ascension]!"
With his entire body overflowing with heavenly light, the strongest human of the continent of Jotunheim roared, gathering all the light he could and then unleashing the spear of light towards Blaze, resembling a darting lightning from a god within the clouds above!
FLAAAAAASH!
"RAAAAH!!!"
Blaze greeted the mighty spear of light with a devastating breath of poisonous flames, both the light and the flames clashed, generating a huge explosion midair!
BOOOOOOOMMMM…!
"Uuuaaaggh…!"
Hector screamed in agony as his light was overcome by the flames, completely destroying his defenses, Hector found himself covered in the flames as they burned him down, he began falling from the skies, poisoned, and burning!
"Hector! No!" Kraxka flew towards his son-in-law, grabbing the young human with his arms and flying down, as Larzak flew in front of Blaze to hold her wrath.
"SHAAAAH! BEGONE!" Blaze roared, unleashing hundreds of purple flame projectiles against the flying lizardman, as his Eclipse magic generated a sphere of darkness and light that rotated constantly, barely managing to reflect a majority of the projectiles before being destroyed by the snake's spear-like tail!
BAAAAAMM…!
Larzak fell into the floor, almost knocked out as he vomited blood, feeling several of his bones breaking. His wounds bleed, poisoned and also burning.
"Ungh…!" Hector groaned, barely standing back up with Kraxka's help as he ran towards Larzak, healing him with his light as he healed himself too.
"We have to call everyone else! Let's secure Agni and Leona's safety first!" Kraxka said, seconds before several meteors of purple flames started falling above them!
Seeing the utter destruction, Agni quickly recalled what had happened in the many other villages that were destroyed by the Flame Emperor's army, his cowardly quickly transformed into resentment and anger, as the red orb fragment on his forehead started shining brightly.
"Bastards… Every time, all the time… You monsters! Why do you seek to make us suffer so much?! Why?! Can't you be satisfied at all?! Why is this world… why is everything always so UNFAIR?!"
FLASH!
Suddenly, as Agni cried in frustration, a small glimpse left of the power of the Primordial God of Flames resonated within his body, his tattoos suddenly transforming into rune-like inscriptions across his skin.
"W-Wha…?!"
"If you want the power to change your fate, take it."
He heard a serious, loud voice echo within the depths of his mind. For a split of a second, Agni saw the vision of an enormous, muscular man encompassed on flames, with shining golden eyes.
"Lord Logi?!"
"I'll allow you to take this power, it is your decision how you'll use it, young man."
FLAAAAASH!
