The lava breath of Glarada, like a volcano that had accumulated for hundreds of years before erupting, was so powerful in both impact and energy that it overshadowed Eremy’s ice and snow powers, inflicting real damage on him.

The area covered by the lava breath, from the sky to the earth, thoroughly blocked Eremy’s avenues of escape.

The only path of retreat was also guarded by the Fire Phoenix.

Seeing all routes of escape blocked, Eremy displayed “fury and despair”. Terrifying ice energy gathered around him, forming a sky-darkening ice storm, sweeping around fiercely.

The first to bear the brunt was the Lava Giant Whale, Glarada.

Even with the obstruction of the lava breath, the ice storm still raged towards Glarada. Moreover, as Glarada was releasing its lava breath, its huge mouth was open, and the ice storm was about to blow into its mouth and penetrate its body.

Glarada instinctively wanted to stop the lava breath.

Seeing this, the Fire Phoenix immediately roared: “Don’t stop! Glarada, you fool, this is the struggle of a trapped beast, he wants to exchange injuries to force you to stop!”

The Fire Phoenix knew that the ice storm entering Glarada’s body would definitely be unbearable, but after all, this was the home turf of a fire elemental creature. Even if injured, soaking in a lava lake and recuperating for some time would eventually heal.

Thus, even if it meant exchanging injuries, it still thought it was worth it! But what it didn’t know was that this was all Eremy’s calculation, just to find Glarada’s elemental core.

Glarada also didn’t think that far, but since Phoenix told it not to stop, Glarada still endured the urge to close its mouth, continuing to spew the lava breath.

In fact, the lava breath did indeed cause damage to Eremy.

Even in his energy form, he still had to maintain his ice power, and ice naturally contradicted fire. Under the restraint of lava, his body inevitably suffered.

Even his true body was directly exposed by the lava breath.

The true body of Eremy, for the first time, leaked blue crystals from his sharp teeth, the blood of an awakened demon.

Even the blue lantern flower on his head seemed to have wilted a bit.

Seeing this, the Fire Phoenix joyfully said: “Continue, he’s done for!”

But as its words fell, it found that not only did Glarada not continue to spew the lava breath, but the power of the lava breath was also getting weaker.

The Fire Phoenix, furious, turned around to scold Glarada, but then found that Glarada had suddenly stopped in mid-air without moving. Its eyes burning with black fire, when did they start to form ice…

The Fire Phoenix paused, shock flashing in its fiery eyes.

It was quite close to Glarada, knowing that the elemental core inside Glarada, inherited from the old king, was a blazing black flame, connected to its eyes. That’s why its eyes showed the form of black fire.

Now, Glarada’s eyes were frozen, meaning… its elemental core was also frozen?!

It had just realized this when Eremy, who had seemed desperate and weak before, suddenly turned his head.

There was no “fury, despair, anxiety” in his cold eyes. What was seen before was completely an illusion!

Although Eremy said nothing, the Fire Phoenix seemed to hear his mockery: “Found it.”

Found what?

Before the consciousness of the Fire Phoenix could escape from Eremy’s eyes, an extremely cold ray shot towards its forehead.

Inside its forehead, was where the elemental core resided!

It instinctively wanted to flap its wings for cover, but found that they had been frozen by the previous ice storm. It could only watch helplessly as the white light penetrated its forehead.

Then, the Fire Phoenix only felt its thoughts freeze, and the next second, it fell into boundless darkness.

Before its consciousness was frozen, it seemed to see a vision of another world, a world shrouded in darkness, desolation, chill, and panic…

The Fire Phoenix and the Lava Giant Whale, their fiery eyes solidified, fell from the sky one after the other. They shattered the frozen river of smoke and heavily fell into the dust.

Witnessing this scene, Dangros couldn’t believe his own eyes. Phoenix and Glarada had lost?

“How is that possible, how is that possible! Phoenix is the strongest under the new king, it can’t lose. And, Glarada’s fire is from that one… the Undying Spark… how could it fail…”

Dangros spoke with disbelief, all the confidence of the past seemed to have turned into bubbles at this moment.

While Dangros was muttering to himself, a shadow suddenly obscured his vision.

“Found you.”

With a contemplative tone, Dangros only saw a pair of beautifully gloved hands reaching towards him.

When he realized what was happening and thought to escape, it was already too late. A pulling force yanked his true body out from the eyes of the Flame Giant.

The person who caught Dangros was Angel.

After continuously narrowing the search area, Angel finally determined Dangros’ exact location.

“I didn’t expect you to hide in its eye, still wrapped in the energy of the Flame Giant. No wonder I couldn’t find you before.” Angel muttered quietly, focusing his attention on Dangros.

He was really curious, what did Dangros actually look like?

Angel had imagined before that Dangros always stayed on other elemental creatures, maybe its real body was like a parasite, or a little flame fish with a sucker.

But when he actually caught Dangros, he was stunned.

His previous guesses were completely wrong. Dangros didn’t look like a parasitic creature at all, nor did it look like a monster.

It was just a hand.

A Severed Hand.

Although it was only a palm and less than five centimeters of wrist, it was indeed a hand, and it looked quite like a human hand. The only difference was that this hand was made of flames.

It had five fingers, and the fingers were still flexibly moving.

Angel grabbed Dangros’ wrist, its fingers desperately tried to struggle free, but it was futile.

“So you are Dangros? Why do you only have one hand?”

Angel was seeing this form of elemental creature for the first time, and he wondered if this hand was just a part of a complete true body.

“Let go of me, let go of me! Cursed spy!” Dangros’ fingers kept moving, but to no avail.

Angel curiously turned the severed hand to see its palm, and found an eye and a mouth there.

Dangros’ mouth was rapidly murmuring, all scolding Angel, but unfortunately, its voice sounded very childish, and the scolding was childish too, not even worthy of being called dirty words.

“Where are your brothers and sisters?” Angel shook Dangros he was holding.

Dangros, dizzy from being shaken, didn’t come to his senses for a moment and said instinctively, “What brothers and sisters?”

Angel: “The other limbs, like the right hand, left foot, right foot, skull, etc.”

“What is that?”

Angel squinted his eyes and said, “You don’t have any brothers or sisters? Were you born as just a… hand?”

Dangros replied, “The unique me, how could I possibly have siblings! Ah, let go of me, stop shaking, stop shaking!”

“You said you’re a descendant of Kalomaches, didn’t you?”

“The great Kalomaches!” Dangros said indignantly, “I was born from the ashes of my ancestors, of course I am its descendant!”

Hearing this, Angel roughly confirmed in his heart that Dangros’ true form might indeed just be a severed hand, without any other parts.

While Angel was observing Dangros, a whirl of snowflakes suddenly floated by his side.

In the midst of the snowflakes, Eremy’s figure slowly appeared.

Angel turned his gaze to Eremy’s abdomen and back, where there was still a smell of charring, the area previously injured.

“How are your injuries?”

With a shake of the blue lantern flower, Eremy conveyed to Angel that he was unharmed.

Angel reached out and touched Eremy. His mental power entered Eremy’s body and circled around. Indeed, as Eremy had said, he had not suffered any serious injury.

At most, he had consumed a lot of energy and needed some time to slowly recover.

With another gentle shake, Eremy conveyed a new thought to Angel, asking whether he should dispel the Frost Domain.

The Frost Domain was a construct of Eremy’s innate abilities. If it was in a place abundant with the power of ice and snow, it could basically sustain itself without consumption. But now, being in the fire domain and unable to absorb power from the external environment to supplement, it could only consume Eremy’s own energy.

After freezing the Lava Giant Whale and Fire Phoenix, Eremy’s energy had been almost depleted. The Frost Domain could not be maintained for too long, so he asked for Angel’s opinion.

Angel glanced at the half-crouching Flame Giant in front of him, then at the two enormous creatures lying in the snow in the distance.

According to Dangros’ words, these were all top combat powers of the fire domain.

Now that they were all defeated by Eremy, their elemental cores frozen, there was basically no way to deal with them.

He originally wanted to explore the fire domain in a gentler manner, but now it seemed that he had to follow the route of forceful suppression.

Boom——

On the opposite side of the lava lake, a loud noise sounded at this moment.

Without much thought, Angel knew that the defeat of Galadar and Phoenix had been spread, and now the core area of the fire domain must be mobilizing.

Perhaps, it was the new king who was coming.

“How powerful is Magic Fire Midir?” Angel thought for a moment, then turned his head to look at Dangros.

Dangros, who had been struggling to run away, began to struggle to hit Eremy after seeing Eremy appear beside Angel, seemingly wanting to avenge Galadar and Phoenix.

However, Angel caught its wrist of fate, and its struggle was in vain.

“Let go of me, I’ll burn you all to ashes, damn spies!”

Angel said, “I’ll let you go in a while. But first, you have to answer me, how powerful is Magic Fire Midir?”

Dangros roared angrily, “Although I really hate this new king, I won’t tell you, it’s many times stronger than Phoenix!”

Angel stroked his chin and said, “Many times stronger than Phoenix… It seems that even if we go the route of forceful suppression, we still have to avoid it.”

After all, Eremy is now consuming too much energy.

Angel thought for a moment, then turned to Eremy and said, “Retire the Domain of Wind, let’s leave first.”

Dangros said, “You can’t escape! The new king will burn you all to death!”

Angel ignored its howling, grabbed its wrist, and prepared to retreat.

“You want to run away? Let me go! Let me go!”

Angel had no intention of releasing Dangros, a speaking elemental creature with some mental issues, which might divulge valuable information if tricked.

Dangros, realizing Angel’s intent to capture it, became frightened. Its bluster lessened, and it began to describe itself as insignificant, immature, and foolish, indirectly begging for mercy.

After listening, Angel didn’t respond, just silently thought: If you weren’t foolish, I wouldn’t have caught you.

In panic, Dangros released the flames hidden in its body, attempting a surprise escape.

Unexpectedly, the temperature of the flames was higher than Angel had anticipated, even hotter than the previous Flame Giant.

Angel used his left hand, which got scalded, causing him to reflexively release his grip.

Dangros felt a surge of hope and tried to flee, but before it could, a translucent blue Magic Hand caught it.

Captured again, Dangros couldn’t help but feel a wave of despair.

Taken away by the spy of Frost Iseth, it would never return to the warm lava pool and might forever remain in a dark, sunless ice prison, extinguishing its last spark in the gloom.

It didn’t want such an end!

It wanted to revive its ancestors’ glory!

As Dangros despaired, a ‘buzzing’ sound suddenly filled the world.

This sound wasn’t heard by ears but resonated directly in the consciousness of all beings, like a continuous vibrating frequency from the heavens.

When this strange vibration descended, the whole world seemed to freeze.

Eremy, walking in melting snow, also stopped, like a frozen statue.

Angel, about to use the Gateway of Fantasy, was affected by this wave. He could still move, but he noticed the elemental energy around him suddenly became dense, and the air turned into a mire.

“What’s going on?!”

Angel’s heart skipped a beat, thinking it was an ambush. He looked around with all his strength and saw that not just him, but the entire Fire Domain was enveloped by this strange vibration.

Even the fire elemental creatures trapped in his illusion were like wax figures in a museum.

However, speech and some magic were unaffected.

As Angel wondered what was happening, Dangros, held by the Magic Hand, suddenly laughed: “Hahaha! This is… the Voice of the World!”

“The Voice of the World?” Angel looked at Dangros, puzzled and unaware of the situation.

A gleam of schadenfreude flashed in Dangros’ eyes: “Even the World Will is on our side, helping us. You can’t escape!”
