Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Fire-Devouring Beast, Poison Dragonfly
Li Wei and Eiris were besieged by Flying Magical Beasts.
Not far away, two Summoners hovered at the edge of the battlefield, waiting for an opportunity.
The truly powerful opponents had yet to appear, so Li Wei and Eiris didn’t dare to let their guard down.
After all, everyone who made it here was from the strongest batch of students from the top Mage Towers.
A chilling aura emanated from Eiris’s body.
"Frost Nova!"
An ice-blue orb of frost exploded in mid-air.
It unleashed an astonishingly cold blast, instantly freezing everything around it.
The Flying Magical Beasts within the area of effect were frozen solid into blocks of ice, losing their ability to move and plummeting to the ground.
"Frost Ice Path!"
A straight Frost Ice Path shot across the battlefield, reaching all the way to the two Summoners outside the fray.
"Li Wei, go!"
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
Ice Crystals rapidly grew along both sides of the Frost Ice Path, sprouting sharp spikes that pierced any Flying Magical Beasts that drew near.
Blood stained the ice-blue Crystals.
Eiris had opened a direct path for Li Wei to reach his opponents.
Without any hesitation, Li Wei charged straight toward the two men along the Frost Ice Path.
"Quick, stop him!"
The two Summoners hastily directed their Summoned Beasts to surround and intercept Li Wei, trying to halt his advance.
"Breath of Winter!"
Eiris hovered in the air, Casting the large-scale Tier Four Spell, Breath of Winter.
An icy current of air swept past the outer edges of the Frost Ice Path.
It froze a large number of the Flying Magical Beasts stiff, drastically reducing their speed.
Li Wei, who was at the center of the Breath of Winter, was completely unaffected.
Li Wei glanced at the frigid air current passing less than a foot above his head.
’Eiris’s control is incredible!’ he marveled inwardly. ’Even with the High Level Mana Control Extraordinary Trait, I might not be able to achieve such precise control.’
Seeing this, Li Wei confidently left the other enemies to Eiris.
He focused his full attention on dealing with the two Summoners before him.
"Fire Snake Skill!"
A mass of blue flame appeared in front of Li Wei.
From within the flames, a Fire Serpent over ten meters long shot out, flying toward the two Summoners.
The two men looked shocked; they had never seen a Fire Snake Skill like this before.
"Summon, Fire-Devouring Beast!"
A purple radiance appeared in mid-air.
The figure of the Fire-Devouring Beast emerged from within the purple light.
The Summoner sneered, "My Fire-Devouring Beast is the perfect counter for Fire Element Mages!"
Li Wei took a closer look.
The Fire-Devouring Beast was a Magic Beast as massive as a small hill. It was entirely crimson and resembled a toad.
At the Summoner’s command, the creature acted.
The Fire-Devouring Beast opened its great maw and inhaled with all its might.
An immense suction force erupted from its mouth, pulling the blue Fire Serpent that was hurtling toward the two men uncontrollably into its gullet.
The Fire-Devouring Beast smacked its lips a couple of times, devouring the blue Fire Serpent as if it were a spicy snack.
A look of surprise crossed Li Wei’s face.
’This Fire-Devouring Beast really is something else,’ he thought.
The power of his blue Fire Snake Skill already surpassed most Tier Four Spells.
Yet the Fire-Devouring Beast had swallowed it so easily.
It seemed this beast was no simple matter.
BURP.
After eating the Fire Serpent, the Fire-Devouring Beast let out a hearty burp, and a few wisps of hot air drifted from the corners of its mouth.
The fiery pustules on the Fire-Devouring Beast’s back also grew much brighter.
Li Wei smiled. "I’d like to see just how much your Fire-Devouring Beast can eat."
Chain Fireball Technique!
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
A continuous stream of blue Fireballs shot toward the two men.
The Fire-Devouring Beast moved in front of them, opened its mouth wide, and inhaled with all its strength.
POP! POP! POP!
One by one, the Fireballs were sucked into the Fire-Devouring Beast’s mouth like meatballs, swallowed without a single chew.
The corner of Li Wei’s mouth curled up slightly.
Mixed in with the blue Fireballs was a single cyan one.
The Fire-Devouring Beast sucked it in all the same.
The moment it consumed the cyan Fireball, the Fire-Devouring Beast’s expression changed.
It was like a person suddenly eating a hot pepper.
HSSS-HAA!
The taste was a bit... special.
"Hic!"
The Fire-Devouring Beast hiccuped, spitting out a small lick of flame.
It seemed to be having some indigestion.
Li Wei grinned. Indigestion was exactly what he was hoping for.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
More and more cyan Fireballs shot toward the Fire-Devouring Beast.
After eating a few more, the Fire-Devouring Beast sensed something was wrong. Flames started to flare from its nostrils.
It snapped its mouth shut and refused to eat any more, turning to flee.
The Fire-Devouring Beast ran, leaving the two Summoners completely dumbfounded.
FWOOSH! FWOOSH! FWOOSH!
As the Fireballs flew right at them, the two men scrambled to react.
One of them quickly forced a recall on the Fire-Devouring Beast, while the other hastily cast a Defense Magic spell.
"Guardian Barrier!"
A Summoner is a branch class of Mage.
They primarily rely on their Summoned Creatures for combat but will also learn Magic to support their Summoned Beasts or for self-preservation.
A pale yellow Guardian Barrier enveloped the two figures.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Under the bombardment of the Chain Fireball Technique, the Guardian Barrier soon shattered.
The Fire-Devouring Beast was also forcibly summoned back to face the bombardment of Li Wei’s Fireballs.
"Is that the Chain Fireball Technique?"
one of them exclaimed in astonishment.
He could hardly believe it.
’The power of this Chain Fireball Technique is ridiculous! My Guardian Barrier can withstand an attack from a Tier Four Magical Beast, and it was broken so easily by just a few Fireballs? And the number of Fireballs is all wrong! Who the hell can cast the Chain Fireball Technique nonstop like this?’
So far, he had already launched at least twenty or thirty Fireballs.
He had never seen such an absurd version of the Chain Fireball Technique.
"Forget it! Just summon our bonded beasts and kill him!"
"Damn it, I guess we have no choice."
"Summon! Three-headed Griffin!"
"Summon! Poison Dragonfly!"
SCREEE!
A majestic Three-headed Griffin appeared in mid-air, its aura exceptionally powerful.
It was a Tier Five Summoned Beast.
The "Poison Dragonfly" that appeared beside it, which looked like a green-headed fly, was far uglier.
But the sense of danger it exuded was no weaker than the Three-headed Griffin’s.
It was perhaps even more dangerous!
The Three-headed Griffin lunged at Li Wei, its sharp claws aimed to tear his body apart, while its three heads attacked from three different directions in a pincer movement.
The attacks came from all directions, leaving Li Wei with no room to dodge.
The Poison Dragonfly silently flew to Li Wei’s side and thrust its massive, sharp, and slender proboscis at him.
SHRRRIP!
THUD! THUD! THUD!
The Three-headed Griffin’s attacks were blocked by the Invisible Armor.
The barrage of attacks instantly shattered eight or nine layers of the Invisible Armor.
Li Wei shuddered, feeling a dangerous presence from behind.
The hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.
The Poison Dragonfly was somehow able to ignore the Invisible Armor.
Fortunately, Li Wei reacted quickly, using Elementalization at the critical moment.
The Poison Dragonfly’s proboscis pierced through Li Wei’s body.
It hit nothing but air.
The Poison Dragonfly quickly realized what had happened and withdrew its proboscis, intending to inject its venom into Li Wei’s body.
Li Wei transformed into his Blue Fire form.
The temperature of his Flame Body instantly soared to ten thousand degrees.
Li Wei’s hand grabbed the Poison Dragonfly’s proboscis, which was still passing through his body.
SZZZZZZZ!
The intense heat burned the Poison Dragonfly’s proboscis, causing it to sizzle and drip with rendered fat.
White smoke billowed out.
The Poison Dragonfly’s body trembled violently.
FWOOSH! FWOOSH! FWOOSH!
The Three-headed Griffin opened its mouths and spewed out three Magic Attacks in the form of swirling cyclones.
With a casual wave of his hand, Li Wei unleashed a burst of fire.
It formed a ring of fire that expanded outward.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The ring of fire blocked the cyclones.
Li Wei turned and made a crushing gesture in the air.
Cyan flames erupted on the Poison Dragonfly’s body.
