Chapter 577
Yin panicked as sweat poured down his whole body. They were both from the fear of death and the sweltering heat from Ember’s powerful flames.
He racked his mind as to what to do. He could take off the diamond shell, but it would mean that he would directly take on those flames. At least, with him inside the diamond shell, the heat was simply radiating to him. It wasn’t directly touching him.
Yin was at a deadlock. The more time he wasted, the higher his chance of getting roasted alive. But if he panicked, it would only make his death faster.
Ember smiled beautifully after seeing Yin’s powerlessness. She felt satisfied with herself. The only person she couldn’t defeat would be Lawrend. Thinking about that much made her slightly proud to be his maid.
“Who are you?! I will pay you double, no, triple of what Lawrend offered you!” Yin pleaded hastily.
It was the only way Yin thought to escape this death trap. His pride and status as the Imperial Crown Prince of the Blumin Empire didn’t matter anymore.
“You can’t give me what I want. Just patiently wait for your death,” Ember responded coldly.
Yin’s face paled. His Earth Mage body was almost to the point where he couldn’t endure the heat anymore.
“Then tell me who you are! I refuse to die without knowing who killed me!” Yin shouted.
He was helpless, but he still wanted to die a dignified death. Knowing his killer would put his mind at ease.
“Since you’re going to die anyway. I might as well tell you,” Ember said. She raised her chin up before continuing, “I’m Ember Ignis, the Princess of the Ignis Clan and also Lawrend Ignis’ maid!”
Ember’s voice resounded across the whole battlefield. Every single person there heard her words and trembled. Even those from the mage army widened their eyes in shock. Most of the mages at this level would’ve heard a thing or two about the Ignis Clan.
It was one of the three great clans of the Primitus Continent! Their princess was bound to be a goddess above their reach. It was unimaginable for them that she would willingly become her relative’s maid!
“Ah… You and Lawrend are Ignis…”
A look of enlightenment appeared on Yin’s face. Everything finally made sense to him. He remembered his backing and slightly shook his head.
He destroyed his diamond shell with one thought. Ember’s phoenix flames instantly swallowed him up. The only thing left were his scattering ashes. Yin Blumin was no more.
After confirming Yin’s death, Ember turned her eyes towards Lawrend’s fight.
…
Before Ember and Yin fought, Lawrend floated in front of the six Earth Mages from the Crescent Empire. The shadow of a rainbow moon appeared above and behind their heads.
“Silk Moon’s Light!” the Earth Mage in the lead shouted.
The five other Earth Mages swung their staffs in weird motions. The rainbow moon behind them suddenly released rays of light that looked like silk strings. These strings attacked Lawrend like sharp needles.
This was Lawrend’s first time seeing this type of attack. He had heard about them in fiction before, but seeing them in reality, was a different experience.
Lawrend turned into a flash of golden lightning and easily avoided the silk rays. It was quite hard to perceive them because of their thinness. Thankfully, his Elemental Eyes made it a piece of cake.
Lawrend reappeared in the same spot after the silk rays passed by him. But just as he was about to relax, he felt an ominous premonition.
He quickly turned into a flash of golden lightning.
He looked at the place where he previously was. The silk rays were bundled together. It would have wrapped around his body and sliced him into countless pieces if he didn’t react on time.
Lawrend felt cold sweat pour down his back. Feeling death tickle his neck was a mind-opening experience. He became serious, and his leisureliness disappeared.
He wasn’t confident in winning against these six Earth Mages anymore.
…
Back to the Five Combination Team when they had just killed Fream.
Gren and Trok flew backward in fear. They kept a safe distance from the five.
“We won’t fight anymore!” Gren shouted.
He was scared at what he had just seen. He was close and quite protective towards Fream, but her death was too fast and powerless that he lost all of his morale. Similar to Auntie Relief, he was fond of his life.
Trok was conflicted because Fream was like his family. The three of them worked together for hundreds of years. It was unsettling to see her die in front of his eyes. He tried to save her, but she still died.
“Capture Formation!” Julianne coldly ordered.
Gregory covered the five of them with a swirling wind that went from their front to their back. The five of them then flew towards the duo.
Gren and Trok instantly turned around and fled. They lost when there were three of them, and it was certain they would lose with just the two of them.
They were wind mages, so they utilized their greatest speed to flee. Julianne and her group followed behind them. Unfortunately, they weren’t all wind mages.
But just as Gren and Trok were flying in a certain direction. A bright white light appeared far away in front of them. They then saw Lawrend fly past them several hundred meters away.
Gren and Trok were shocked by the huge explosion. The two turned around and fled in two opposite directions.
Julianne pointed at Gren. She was experienced. From the two of them, it was clear who was more demoralized. Gren was the easier target of the two.
The Five Combination Team flew towards Gren.
*Boom!*
The explosion’s shockwave shook their bodies, but they still continued their flight. Gren was so afraid that he didn’t even dare to look at why the explosion happened.
Julianne and her group were the same. They couldn’t afford to let go of Gren after picking to chase after him.
