Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 119 I am a nimble dog in the mountains!

However, its attacks did not stop!

It slowly raised its rotten wooden hand and slammed the ritual staff to the ground.

hum-

A sacred resonance resounded in the air.

Countless tiny golden rays suddenly converged around the avatar!
This golden light was pure and dazzling, carrying the majesty of the Golden Tree's origin, forming a stark contrast with the filth of the corrupt incarnation itself.

These golden lights rapidly condensed and took shape—transforming into dazzling, concentrated golden beams of light!

"It's prayer! Don't stand!"

Subaru Natsuki's expression changed drastically; he knew all too well how dangerous this attack, imbued with the divine essence of gold, was.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The hollow head turned and locked onto its target.

Dozens of golden beams of light shot out from all directions with a piercing shriek as they tore through the air! Their trajectories were unpredictable, some shooting straight ahead, others skimming diagonally, weaving together a vast golden net that left no blind spots, instantly enveloping Lu Mingfei and Subaru Natsuki!
"Damn golden light!"

Despite the excruciating pain, Lu Mingfei struggled to slide off the tree trunk. He dared not use his sword to directly block the divine beams of light; his body moved like a leaf in a storm, pushing his dual-sword style's evasive footwork to its limit!

Roll, dive to the side, sprint!
Seeing Lu Mingfei's perilous situation, Natsuki Subaru became anxious. He wielded his greatsword wildly, black flames burning fiercely and clinging to the blade, as he thrust it fiercely towards the massive buttocks of the corrupted incarnation!

However, the body formed from tree trunks seemed to feel no pain at all. It ignored Subaru Natsuki's attacks from behind and focused solely on bombarding Lu Mingfei's direction.

The shower of beams of light lasted only a few seconds, yet it felt like centuries.

Lu Mingfei knelt on one knee on the filthy ground, panting heavily. Sweat mixed with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth dripped from under his helmet. Natsuki Subaru also leaned on his sword, making the black flames appear somewhat dimmer.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and they instantly understood the thoughts conveyed by each other's gazes.

We can no longer stand idly by and take the beating; we must get close immediately and tear this damned tree stump apart!

Give me ten seconds!

Lu Mingfei roared, and the blood-red dragon-shaped mark on his left palm lit up.

"Twenty seconds is no problem!"

Subaru spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. The black flames, no longer holding back, erupted from the greatsword with a "boom," like dry tinder doused in oil, even spreading to parts of his arm armor.

He no longer tried to attack the huge rump covered in hard bark. Now the roles were reversed; he was the main tank, and Lu Mingfei was the damage dealer. They had to use enough attacks to draw the monster's attention.

Natsuki Subaru lowered his body and charged towards the location of the Golden Tree avatar, aiming directly at the center of the torso!
The embodiment of corruption seemed to sense a threat. It attempted to raise its heavy ritual staff once more, gathering the power of prayer.

"Eat shit! You still want to unleash your power?!" Subaru Natsuki roared with ferocity. His sword, covered in intense black flames, slashed at the avatar. The black flames, imbued with the will of "hunting gods," sizzled and hissed as soon as they touched the decaying wood. The decaying mycelium instantly turned black and withered, leaving deep scorch marks that revealed its interior.

The massive body of the incarnation shuddered violently. Its enormous head abruptly turned towards the black flame that it found "disgusting."

"Good timing! Watch me walk my dog!"

Natsuki's dead fish eyes widened, and he burst out with a defiant utterance.

Like a nimble mountain dog, he suddenly lunged and rolled to the side just as the avatar's staff shadow was about to strike, his greatsword flashing and leaving a charred gash on the avatar's leg. His mission was to act as a "kite" to draw aggro and buy time for Lu Mingfei.

In this precious moment, the blood-red Dragon's Blessing mark on Lu Mingfei's left palm burned as if on fire. The power deep within his bloodline was being frantically extracted, and dragon blood surged and roared in his veins. On his bare neck and arms, fine black dragon scales broke through his skin, emerging piece by piece, shimmering with a metallic luster.

"call……"

A long breath escaped from Lu Mingfei's throat, followed by a deafening, earth-shaking roar.

"Roar----!!!"

Above the colossal body of that corrupted incarnation, the barrier of the void seemed to be ripped open by an invisible giant claw. The air became thick and scorching, even distorting the light.

A gigantic, illusory dragon head, composed entirely of energy, suddenly took shape, its mouth brimming with a ball of scorching energy.

Akiel's Flame!

boom!
The dark red torrent instantly engulfed the monster's entire upper body, a sight resembling an inverted waterfall, scorching the sky and boiling the sea!
Zizzi——! ! !
The sounds of burning and crackling wood bursting at the high temperature filled the air! The vines and mycelium that entangled the decaying body turned to ashes in an instant, like withered grass in a furnace!
The hard, decaying outer layer of wood rapidly carbonized and peeled away in the dragon flames, revealing the core structure riddled with holes from decay and erosion.

The prayer power, imbued with the divinity of the Golden Tree and poised to once again gather golden beams of light, was abruptly interrupted and scattered!
For the first time, the embodiment of the Golden Tree let out a clearly audible cry of pain!
It was once the priest of the Golden Tree, the closest thing to the sacred in the world. Even though it was corrupted and desecrated, it remained faithful to its duty, wandering under the little Golden Tree day after day.

Now, it is being burned alive by the blasphemers with filthy, vile dragonfire! The rage and agony brought by the burning caused its massive, mountain-like body to tremble violently in the flames, and it almost dropped the ancient ritual staff in its hand.

"Well done, Lu Jun!"

Natsuki Subaru's ecstatic roar pierced through the roar of the flames. Seeing the astonishing effect of the dragon flames, his spirits soared. He didn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Taking advantage of his avatar's struggle and loss of balance amidst the dragon flames, Natsuki Subaru suddenly exerted force with his feet, shooting out like a black arrow!
The greatsword of the Hunting God, wreathed in the blazing "Queen's Black Flame," carrying all of Subaru Natsuki's rune power, was plunged into the already cracked and scorched bark with a soft "plop" sound!
Black flames suddenly burst forth from the body of the golden tree, swirling around it like a black vortex, gnawing, spreading, and scorching its life.

The massive body of corruption convulsed violently and uncontrollably, its mournful cries abruptly ceasing, leaving only the crackling sounds of its body being burned and disintegrated from within.

The core power that sustained its existence, the sacred spark from the golden tree, emitted its last glimmer of light before being completely extinguished by the frenzied devouring of the black flames.

The colossal tree, towering eight meters tall, crashed backward with a deafening roar, as the flames of its life force were extinguished.
