Chapter 448 Fire and Key
Chapter 448 Fire and Key
As he was being dragged along, Fan Wei tried to understand the message the angel was conveying to him, but because he couldn't communicate telepathically, he couldn't make out the details.
The crimson flames were still burning all over the ground, turning half the sky red. The two quickly crossed the raging plain and approached the towering skeletal giant.
Whoosh! The giant looked down at the white dot leaping toward him from the ground, and a giant hand descended from the sky.
Flames enveloped the giant hand, falling slowly yet seemingly unavoidably. The angel changed direction and broke through in a straight line, but the surrounding sea of fire suddenly came alive!
Flames shot high, like tentacles or roots, twisting and enveloping all directions.
They swarmed in, posing no real threat but slightly hindering their escape. The enormous hand had already covered their heads, pressing down on the angel and Fan Wei with a deafening roar, carrying wind pressure.
The earth roared, and a fierce wind whipped bones into the air. Suddenly, a blade of light shot out from the back of the giant hand.
The angel unleashed its full power, its cross-shaped True Overlord Battle Aura piercing directly through the giant's hand, pulling the bitter-faced Fan Wei away from its suppression, and continuing its ascent upwards along the wrist.
"Can you put me down? I can help!"
Still unable to figure out the angel's thoughts and purpose, Fan Wei could only shout as he was dragged along, unable to use his skills properly.
In such a fierce battle, he didn't want to be just a mere accessory.
Hearing Fan Wei's shout, the angel turned around in the midst of his busy work, glanced at him with his bone-covered face, and then released his hand and slowed down.
Fan Wei was overjoyed; this was clearly a signal for him to follow!
Once back on solid ground, he carried the silver heart and followed the white figure ahead, running on the giant's arm, which was as wide as a highway, while constantly pondering the meaning of the angel's invitation.
For such a cold-blooded and shrewd killer.
"Going together" certainly doesn't mean "the two of us fighting side by side!" It's such a simplistic and blind idea.
Perhaps the angel believes that with his involvement, they can defeat the skeletal giant before them in some way! As for what that method is, Fan Wei currently has no clue.
But the angel's actions have their own meaning; perhaps following her will lead to the truth.
Fan Wei focused on following and realized that he hadn't killed the two little creatures. The giant swung his arm, but the impact had no significant effect on either of them.
The sudden rise in temperature, however, indicates that the threat has not stopped!
Whoosh! Like the wind pulling back a curtain of fire, the flames of war on the giant arm erupted exponentially.
As they burned, the flames actually gathered and took shape, transforming into various monsters that rushed towards the two. This use of the flames of war was something Fan Wei had never imagined.
With a flash of angelic dominance, the massive fire beasts were instantly cut in half at the waist.
But the lingering red sparks quickly restored them completely. Although the color dimmed slightly, they grew rapidly again, fueled by the endless flames of war.
Countless monsters charged forward.
Most of them were intercepted outside the True Overlord Battle Qi, while some went around to the other side. Fan Wei waved his hand and sent Silver Heart flying out with sword energy, slashing several times at a monster with a snake's head, wolf's mouth, and a body of a giant thousand-legged worm.
The clinking sound of the impact really did sound like it was hitting a carapace.
The monster opened its mouth and sprayed liquid from its fangs, which quickly expanded into a large patch of blue poisonous mist. Even its abilities were exactly the same as those of a real monster.
Fan Wei was astonished! Judging from the appearance of these monsters, they clearly looked like unstable, failed products of the Imperial Experiments. Could these monsters actually be real?
Was he merely killed by the skeletal giants and then consumed and controlled by the flames of war?
This may be the truth, or it may not, but whatever the speculation, it won't change the current situation.
As the poisonous cloud rolled in, Fan Wei, seeing that his sword energy was ineffective, immediately used his left hand to fire a shot of Sun God Fire, the flame containing purifying power burning away all the poisonous mist.
The wolf-mouthed snake head lunged forward and bit down on the raised silver heart blade.
Fan Wei blocked the attack, then increased the force of his blade, cleaving the monster in two. However, in the flames of war, these things were practically immortal; no matter how they were shattered, they would regenerate and mend themselves.
The monster only leaned back slightly before recovering and attacking again.
This is tricky. Fan Wei frowned and tried to use black flames to engulf the red flames that made up the monster. This time, the effect was surprisingly good!
He successfully annihilated the monster in front of him amidst a chorus of wails.
But the attacking monsters number at least eight hundred, if not a thousand. Even if the angels could withstand ninety-nine percent of them, and let the rest burn slowly, who knows when it would take!
What should we do now?
While Fan Wei was thinking, he suddenly felt a jolt beneath his feet and his vision shifted dramatically. It turned out that the giant had raised his arm and lifted the two of them into the air, stopping them in front of him.
On its dark head, the brightness of its single eye, as red as the sun, suddenly increased!
Boom—!!! An endless crimson light rushed towards us, the torrent of war flames completely transformed into pillars of light! Leaving aside the various forces involved, the impact and temperature alone were enough to incinerate a person into charcoal!
Can't even react!
The angel instantly retreated in front of Fan Wei, letting out a sharp cry that triggered a giant blade. The red and black arc appeared extremely slashing in the blinding beam of light, forcefully stopping the overwhelming power.
The two forces clashed fiercely, and the aftershocks killed a large number of monsters, but some remaining monsters continued to attack.
Fan Wei was protected safely behind the angel, but he sensed that the angel clearly had no energy left to deal with anything else.
If she were alone, she could still use her agility to maneuver in unfavorable situations.
But in order to protect herself behind her, she had to stop and fight the skeletal giant head-on, which made Fan Wei anxious. Of course, he could temporarily block those monsters.
But what good does this do to break the deadlock?
The real goal should be to break through or defeat the enemy. Staying put will only worsen their situation. We must find a way to turn the tide!
Fan Wei pressed his forehead, trying to calm himself down and think quickly.
The angel's embrace of him shows their faith in him! What is the source of this faith? His true domineering fighting spirit? His other powers?
In reality, even if one has greatly improved through numerous trials, in the eyes of beings at the level of angels, one is not much stronger than a child.
So the key is not his strength.
If it's not a 'numerical' issue, then isn't it just a 'mechanism' problem? Thinking in reverse, Fan Wei was startled.
The flames of war! The skeletal giant's power comes from the flames of war! Just now, he gained the ability to control the flames of war!
Even if that childish manipulation is nothing compared to that of the Titans, could it be the key to playing a unique role and breaking through the predicament?
With lightning speed, Fan Wei immediately cleared his mind of distractions and began to perceive the power within his body and the mysterious crimson runes in his spirit.
He began to study the flames of war.
