Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 316 Really? I'm attacking the furnace?
As expected of the life force from the Primordial Golden Tree, the Horn of the Furnace, with its powerful and pure physical attack, completely knocked the Corrupted Tree Spirit's head off, leaving a clearly visible and huge scar.

However, the consumption is also quite significant.

Theros used the power of his armor to amplify the power of his prayers, but this also lessened the protection against the "curse."

Lu Mingfei clearly saw that a section of black thorns had appeared wrapped around the top of the ancient armor of the Furnace Knight, just like the corrupted soldiers of Stoneville City.

However, the Forge Knight paid no heed. Golden light flowed across his armor, and in the blink of an eye, the black thorns vanished completely.

That's a really domineering method.

He actually managed to suppress the curse from the Death Rune for a brief moment with the ancient sanctity from the Forge of Life!
Lu Mingfei had no time to marvel at the mystery and power of the Furnace Knight; he had to take advantage of the moment when the Corrupted Tree Spirit was suppressed to launch a counterattack.

The power of the Dragon Feast surged through his veins, and Lu Mingfei's eyes shone brightly. At the same time, the Dragon Feast mark on his left hand burned like fire.

With a loud, wild roar, a ferocious, illusory dragon head emerged from the sky.

A torrent of scorching dragon breath burst forth!

boom--

The wild, fiery tongues licked the corrupted tree spirit's body, quickly turning its already ugly bark black and carbonized.

The terrifying monster roared and writhed amidst the dragon flames that consumed everything, its enormous body repeatedly slamming against the walls and the ground.

Roger dodged around the arena with his agile movements, while Theros simply raised his shield again, remaining unmoved despite the crazed tree spirit's frantic twisting and struggling.

Clearly, the tree spirit fears the burning of flames, a fact that Lu Mingfei had guessed during the last battle and has now been confirmed.

Akiel's flames, used as a high-level dragon offering prayer, are incredibly powerful, but they also consume a tremendous amount of Lu Mingfei's original power.

The dragon's breath, which burned everything, lasted only a few seconds before abruptly ceasing as the illusory dragon head in the air vanished.

Lu Mingfei was breathing heavily, feeling a void in his body. He had no choice but to immediately drink the Holy Grail he carried with him to quickly replenish his depleted physical strength and concentration.

The corrupted tree spirit let out its last few shrill screams amidst the charred and foul-smelling smoke, its struggles gradually diminishing.

However, it did not fall down. Instead, it lowered its head unusually, its head, which had been knocked askew by the corner of the furnace and scorched beyond recognition by the dragon flames.

Immediately afterwards, strands of golden light shone through the cracks in its charred and broken body.

Lu Mingfei's pupils suddenly contracted, and the memory of his last encounter with this kind of monster instantly surfaced.

Without hesitation, he roared loudly:

"Back off!"

Upon hearing the sound, the experienced Roger and Theros immediately retreated.

Just as the three retreated...

boom! ! !
A burst of intense golden flames, like a miniature sun, erupted from the corrupted tree spirit and spread rapidly in all directions.

The shockwave slammed into the surrounding walls, scorching the hard stone walls until they cracked and peeled off.

After the eruption, the corrupted tree spirit's body seemed to be covered by a thin layer of flowing golden holy flames. Its severely injured body seemed to have been stabilized to some extent in these flames, and its aura was even more dangerous and violent than before.

Phase Two has begun!

"It's so difficult!"

Roger spat, but his hands moved swiftly. He quickly swung his rapier, and a "Kalia Greatsword" made of radiant stone magic instantly formed. He slashed at the tree spirit, trying to attract its attention and create an opportunity for Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei quickly retracted the sword in his left hand behind his back, gripped the hilt of the remaining greatsword tightly with his right hand, held it upright in front of his chest, and closed his eyes slightly.

After a brief breath, the combat skill [Determination] was activated.

A concentrated aura instantly gathered on the sword, causing the entire greatsword to tremble slightly and emit a deep hum.

At the same time, a grayish-white stream of air once again wrapped around his legs.

The next moment, a loud bang was heard beneath Lu Mingfei's feet, and water and gravel flew everywhere!
He rode the storm, his figure rushing forward like lightning. Just as he was about to reach the tree spirit, he leaped up and spun rapidly in the air, pouring all his strength, determination, and the power of the storm into his sword.

"Drink!"

With a battle roar, the raised greatsword, using the force of its fall and rotation, transformed into a white lightning bolt that tore through the darkness, and slashed down fiercely towards the tree spirit's head covered in golden flames!

Combat Technique - Lion Slash!

"Ow—"

The corrupted tree spirit let out an unprecedentedly mournful wail, a sound that was a mixture of pain and rage, almost piercing everyone's eardrums.

The Lion Slash left a horrifying, massive wound on its neck, almost completely separating its head from its body, with dark, putrid fluid gushing out like a burst dam.

However, this near-death experience did not immediately take its life; instead, it fueled its ferocity.

The intense pain caused it to completely lose its mind, and its massive body began to twist, thrash, and roll wildly without any order!
Its thick tail lashed wildly with immense force, smashing deep craters into the ground, sending rubble and mud flying everywhere; its body, covered in golden flames, slammed violently against the surrounding walls, causing the entire underground space to rumble as if it were about to collapse completely at any moment.

The unpredictable attacks, along with the blazing holy fire, created a death zone, making it difficult for Lu Mingfei and Theros to get close for the time being.

"This can't go on! It will destroy this place, and might even bury us alive!"

Roger shouted as he nimbly leaped backward to dodge a boulder that had been knocked away by the tree spirit.

He gripped the sapphire rapier tightly, his gaze fixed on the massive, almost fatal wound on its neck.

Roger took a deep breath and frantically poured all his magic power into the Radiant Stone Gloves in his hands.

The azure light shone with unprecedented brightness, even illuminating the space around him in a blue hue.

He gave a low shout and concentrated all his magic power.

In an instant, five azure radiant magic swords appeared behind him with a humming sound!

With a swing of his rapier, the Radiant Stone Flying Sword, as if guided by precision, traced a sharp blue trajectory, dodging the Tree Spirit's wildly flailing limbs and the covering flames, and relentlessly bombarding the wound on its neck.

*Pfft! Pfft! Pfft—!*
One magical flying sword after another pierced deep into the wound, exploding violently within the tree spirit's body.

The blue magical glow mingled with the dark, corrupting fluids and twisted flesh, becoming indistinguishable.

All the Corrupted Tree Spirit's movements came to an abrupt halt.

Its body, covered in golden flames, froze in place before collapsing with a crash, slamming heavily onto the muddy ground and splattering filth everywhere.

The charred and broken trunk began to wither and weather at a visible speed, eventually turning to ashes, leaving only a golden seed in place.
