Man on the ark, forced to become king

Having survived in this chaotic country until now, she understands the importance of power better than anyone else. If she could master that flame, even if the price was becoming that person's henchman and hound, she would give it a try!

And then... and then try to touch that maddening, dim fire...

She loved explosions, loved this simple and brutal way of destruction. After overcoming her initial fear, the mad fire called 'Danmo' was deeply imprinted in her heart, indelible.

Just because we can't control it now doesn't mean we can't in the future!

"W! What have you done!"

Lost in thought, W suddenly heard Ines's scream. When she came to her senses, she found a small spark emanating from the stone in her palm, almost burning her hand.

The stinging and intense burning sensation traveled through his skin to his brain. The young mercenary hurriedly threw down the stones and frantically shook his hands to try to get rid of the flames. However, he did not expect that the small flames would not only not be extinguished, but would instead spread along his palms and burn fiercely!

"Ouch! (Kazdel curses)! You fucking need to think of something right now!"

Seeing the flames spread rapidly, enveloping her hand in the blink of an eye, W panicked as she tried to climb up her arm.

She did crave the power of fire, but she didn't want to be burned alive here!

She had witnessed the power of those flames firsthand; if you were actually burned inside, you probably wouldn't even be left with ashes!

The fire had clearly gone out, so why did it suddenly reignite on the stone?!

"What the hell is going on?!"

Hedley broke out in a cold sweat and shouted towards the Golden Tree, "Come quick! Something's happened!"

In fact, even without him saying it, Melina, who was closely connected to the Golden Tree, sensed the smell of destruction the moment the flames ignited. The presence of flames capable of burning gold was so strong that it was hard not to notice them.

"Don't panic! Focus your mind on controlling it and fighting against it!"

Melina's voice drifted from afar, and golden leaves fell from the treetops, sprinkling onto W in an attempt to suppress the raging fire of the evil god. However, due to the need to concentrate energy to open the Gate of Great Blessing, the power of the golden tree was already weakened. Not only did it fail to suppress the flames, but the falling leaves became excellent fuel, making the flames burn even more fiercely, directly enveloping W's entire body and turning him into a burning human torch.

"Ahhhhhh!"

W's painful cry rang out from the flames. Mostima grabbed her staff and rushed over, clasping her hands together. A clock appeared from the void, freezing that area in an instant.

"Quickly, go and fetch Lin Lu!"

The shattered wings of light emanated golden light, as if condensing into complete wings of light. A halo of light surrounded the shadows of flowers and plants. Mostima exerted all his strength to suppress the extremely violent flames and turned to shout at Melina.

Although she didn't know why W was suddenly burned by the extinguished flames of the evil god, seeing that someone was about to die, Melina didn't dare to delay. She closed her eyes and made a praying gesture towards the golden tree. The lush canopy suddenly brightened, and a leaf that was much more dazzling than before fell down, swirling and crashing into the void before disappearing.

After completing this step, she placed her hand on the trunk of the golden tree, activating the blessing teleportation function, and disappeared into thin air amidst the rising smoke.

Meanwhile, at Longmen.

Lin Lu had just brought Chen back to their shared apartment when she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

He turned to the side, gesturing for Chen to go in first. Then he raised his palm, and a misty glow swirled around it. A dazzling golden leaf pierced through the void and fell into his palm. The message it carried made his expression change drastically.

"A fallen leaf brought news... W was burned by the flames of annihilation?!"

Chapter 81 Roasting cockroaches, but they weren't cooked.

W was burned by the flames of the evil god? How is that possible?!

Lin Lu didn't care about anything else. She took a few steps forward, opened the living room window and jumped out under Chen's dumbfounded gaze. She hailed a taxi that was speeding through the night and headed straight for Wei Yanwu's mansion.

When he cleared away the residual effects of the corrupt dragon's breath, he clearly watched the flames go out and the corruption completely disappear before leaving, so there shouldn't have been any residue there.

Ultimately, it was just a wasteland burned by the flames of the evil god. At most, the concentration of Originium energy was slightly higher after the aftermath of the natural disaster. It wasn't the giant fire cauldron offered by the giants on the snowy mountain. How could the flames of the evil god have remained until now?

Even if there were any forgotten flames left behind, the evil god's fire, uncontrolled by anyone, is no different from ordinary flames and won't actively attack anyone. W is a living, breathing person, not a fool or blind. Would he reach out and touch the fire if he saw it?

But that's what the news on the fallen leaves said. Melina wouldn't make things up like that; if she said it was true, then it must be true.

The question that needed to be addressed now was no longer why she had been burned. Lin Lu took out a few Lungmen dollars and handed them to the driver, urging him to hurry up. She was a little unsure whether W would survive until he arrived to save her. As long as she had a breath left and the Golden Tree was still there, there was still hope.

I'm afraid that by the time he arrives, W will have already been burned to ashes, and then...

That doesn't seem like a bad idea?

Lin Lu's mind raced, and she felt relieved again.

That's right, now that he has the Golden Tree, even if he's burned to ashes, he can still make a summoning bell to bring it back to life!

Once the Golden Tree enters the Life Forge form, it can still be resurrected.

-------------------------------------

"No, I can't hold on much longer!"

Beneath the golden tree, Mostima was pale, and the wings of light that had bloomed on her back gradually shattered and returned to normal, while the illusory clock also faded away.

The power to manipulate time cannot be used indiscriminately, especially on other people. Therefore, she usually uses 'subjective time slowing' the most, and does not use time stop on a large scale. When she does use it, it is only for a moment and then she will release it, because every second that the stop is extended will bring great consumption.

She could feel the power of the Golden Tree flowing through her body, but the rate of replenishment was far slower than the rate of depletion. Therefore, she could not maintain control over W for long.

"Take a break, I'll try."

Fiameta loaded the ice-blue ammunition into the magazine and aimed at the flame-smoldering W.

She doesn't really like using bullets with a freezing effect, but she still brought some with her considering the various unexpected situations in the wild. Now it just so happens that she can use them, but she doesn't know if they will be effective.

"Change hands!"

Mostima released his staff, staggered and almost fell to the ground, his face deathly pale.

The clock shattered, time flowed on, the still flames reignited, and Fiameta pulled the trigger, the ice-blue bullet shot out, and under her control, it flew past the burning W and exploded instantly, bursting out a thick mist of frost.

snort~

Like oil being poured over a raging fire, steam rose up, and the flames, which were growing ever stronger under the cover of frost, were suppressed, but still showed no sign of going out.

Click~

The bullet was chambered, and a second Frost shot followed immediately, making the icy fog even denser.

However, the flames enveloping the body seemed to have been suppressed to the limit, leaving only a thin layer, which would not dissipate no matter how much the frost suppressed them.

Where did Lin Lu go?

Just then, Melina reappeared, and Mostima hurriedly asked her what was wrong.

No matter how much they try to suppress it, they can only limit it; they can't cut off the root of the flames. Although they don't know if the young mercenary was burned to ashes like the Sarkaz mercenaries they encountered before, it's only a matter of time. Even ordinary fire would burn to death if it burned for that long!

"He's stuck in traffic! Hang in there a little longer!"

Melina said something, biting her lip as she rushed towards W, who was surrounded by flames. Wisps of illusory flames appeared on her arms, and the fire on W's body seemed to be attracted, gradually separating and drifting away towards Melina.

"Traffic jam? He's stuck in traffic at such a crucial time?!"

This answer was completely unexpected for Mostima. She had made many guesses, but this was the one she had never thought of. Was she kidding?

In fact, not only did she not expect it, but Lin Lu did not expect it either. Heaven knows why Longmen was so congested at night!

Seeing that the long line of cars showed no sign of moving, he opened the car door and ran towards Wei Yanwu's residence, stepping onto the roof of the cars in the queue.

Since the car can't move, let's use our legs!

Without the restrictions of roads, he traversed alleys and crossed floors. When he arrived, Wei Yanwu was already waiting at the door with a flowerpot for planting a golden tree. Without time to explain, Lin Lu directly placed her palm on the tree trunk, triggering a blessing teleportation. A flash of golden light and she disappeared.

Wei Yanwu stood there, mouth agape, holding the flowerpot, swallowing back all the words he had prepared. He then shook his head and chuckled.

-------------------------------------

"＃@￥@%@%!"

Under the golden tree, W was already delirious from the flames, cursing incoherently as he collapsed to the ground, curled up in a ball, and even faintly emanating the aroma of roasted meat. He was clearly on the verge of collapse.

Although Melina diverted some of the flames, and Mostima and Fiameta did everything they could to buy time, her fragile body ultimately could not withstand the scorching heat.

"I am coming!"

A golden light flashed, and Lin Lu leaped out of the light. She immediately saw the mercenary girl who was burned terribly. Without delay, a brilliant golden leaf fell from the tree canopy, passed through the flames and entered her head. At the same time, she grasped the holy mark wrapped around her wrist and pressed it against W's back. A crimson light flashed!

Two-finger prayer - Fire protection!

However, that alone is not enough.

Lin Lu bent down and pulled W into his arms. Their bodies pressed tightly together, and intense flames ignited within him, flowing into W's body along the point of contact.

Crimson flames enveloped the two, pushing away and isolating the evil god's fire burning outside.

Fire against fire, burning in opposition!

The oldest fire-wielding monks, who once protected the heroes of the Golden Tree during the Great War of Giants, pray for the protection of the flames!

Chapter 82 The Reflections of the Person Who Bears the Flame and the Girl

The flame that originates from within is pure and intense. A fire that has been extinguished but is now rekindled is ultimately a rootless duckweed. It is quickly devoured by a more authentic prayer and eventually extinguished.

The power of gold left a seed within the mercenary girl's body, taking root and sprouting. Pure life force was infused through the connection between the blessing and the golden tree. Her charred skin cracked and crumbled, revealing the new, pure white beneath. Her nearly burned hair also regrowed under the stimulation of life force.

As the flames subsided, W, blessed by the Golden Tree, was reborn. Lin Lu could feel the seed of fire still burning within her, but the uncontrollable rage was gone.

After this battle, the girl who carries the flame will be more likely to gain the favor of the flame. In other words, she has become the inheritor of the extinguishing flame and has the qualifications to practice the flame prayer. Perhaps this can be considered a blessing in disguise.

The intense pain from the burns has left her delirious, and even though she has recovered, she is not yet fully conscious.

With the delicate body in his arms, her clothes already burned to almost nothing, Lin Lu dared not move. He could only gently pat her back, trying to rouse her consciousness.
