2755 Burned
/Why did these contemptible fools behave in such a manner?/
/Even consuming alcohol within a spiritual tool designed for air transportation could be disrupted by a mere quilt./
Fortunately, the air-transportation spiritual tool bestowed upon her by her father boasted remarkable craftsmanship. Despite enduring repeated assaults from the quilt, its exterior remained unscathed, allowing it to… sway amongst the soaring hawks.
A middle-aged man exerted his utmost to steady the trajectory of the air-transportation spiritual tool, his expression grim.
The control wheel itself was actually quite straightforward. Placing the Spirit Stone into the designated slot was the only requirement, and the person at the helm merely had to manipulate the wheel.
Under normal circumstances, attacks didn’t occur while flying straight ahead. Their primary concern was to detect any obstacles ahead of them.
But now!
This also marked the captain’s inaugural encounter with such an unprecedented scenario.
Ordinarily, their air-transportation spiritual tool wasn’t considered petite by any means. Whenever such a sizable air-transportation spiritual tool paraded through the skies, rational aerial spiritual beasts with functioning eyes wouldn’t recklessly leap into peril.
After all, individuals in possession of air-transportation spiritual tools were far from ordinary. They inevitably hailed from prominent factions and esteemed families.
These flying spiritual beasts had also attained a degree of intelligence, rendering them far from imprudent.
Duan Yue assumed an upright posture and gently placed his wine cup onto the small table.
Within the air-transportation spiritual tool, a variety of items ranging from substantial tables, chairs, and benches to delicate dishes were all secured using specialized magnets. Consequently, once placed on the petite table, the cup remained perfectly still.
“Unseal the window,” Duan Yue issued a detached command.
/The inconvenience endured during this journey was truly insufferable./
/Why were these airborne spiritual beasts recklessly colliding with his air-transportation spiritual tool without any hesitation?/
He would find it hard to believe if there wasn’t some manipulation at play.
As for who harbored such strong reluctance for his safe arrival at the Imperial Academy, well, the irony was apparent even without much contemplation.
The middle-aged man orchestrating the air-transportation spiritual tool promptly acquiesced, employing his spiritual energy to raise the window adjacent to Duan Yue.
An icy gust swept in from the outside.
Naturally, the early spring weather at such high altitudes carried a distinct chill.
In an instant, several ebony hawks flapping their wings blindly lunged toward Duan Yue.
Almost immediately, a silver-white flame ignited, hurtling toward the wings of those ebony hawks with a sharp swoosh.
The silver-white flames promptly engulfed the ebony hawk.
These silver-white flames enshrouded the creature, from wingspan to crown, prompting agonized screeches.
Yet, more menacing was the relentless nature of these silver-white flames; they clung like gangrene to bone. The slightest contact ensured an incessant burn.
From one ebony hawk’s outstretched wing to another’s tail feathers.
A multitude of ebony hawks began to combust in clustered frenzy around the air-transportation spiritual tool.
Progressively, they all succumbed, no exemptions. Each one writhed and wailed in mid-air, reduced to ashes within these deceptively unassuming pockets of flames.
Inside the air-transportation spiritual tool, numerous attendants were simultaneously seized by shock.
Instances of their lord losing his temper were rare. However, it was evident that his usual calm demeanor didn’t negate the overwhelming intimidation he exuded when angered.
This phenomenon was the Demon Emperor’s Fire—an understanding that prompted a collective mental sigh of relief, though their countenances remained colored with a mix of astonishment and fear.
Utterly disinclined to utter a word, they merely bowed their heads in silence, their inner hopes fervently fixated on the swift dissipation of their lord’s ire.
“Silence,” Duan Yue’s cold command sliced through.
Swiftly, the individual at the controls unlatched the window of the air-transportation spiritual tool.
