Chapter 393: Fire-Devouring Beast, Poison Dragon Fly

Chapter 393: Fire-Devouring Beast, Poison Dragonfly

Li Wei and Eris were besieged by flying magical beasts.

Not far away, two summoners lingered at the edge of the battlefield, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The truly formidable opponents had yet to appear, so Li Wei and Eris dared not let their guard down.

After all, those who could come here were the strongest students from the various top-tier mage towers.

Eris exuded bone-chilling coldness from her entire body.

"Frost Nova!"

An ice-blue frost orb exploded in midair.

It released an astonishing chill that instantly froze everything around it.

The flying magical beasts within range were immediately encased in ice, losing mobility and crashing to the ground.

"Frozen Path!"

A straight path of frost stretched across the battlefield, reaching toward the two summoners outside.

"Li Wei, go!"

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Ice crystals rapidly grew along both sides of the frozen path, sprouting sharp icy spikes that pierced through any flying beasts that came near.

Blood stained the ice-blue crystals red.

Eris had carved out a clear path straight to their opponents for Li Wei.

Without hesitation, Li Wei charged forward along the frozen path.

"Stop him quickly!"

The two summoners hastily summoned their creatures to attack Li Wei, trying to block his advance.

"Winter's Breath!"

Eris hovered in the air, casting the wide-range fourth-tier spell Winter's Breath.

Chilling currents swept past the outer edges of the frozen path.

Countless flying magical beasts were stiffened by the cold, their speed drastically reduced.

Yet Li Wei, standing at the center of the winter breath, remained completely unaffected.

He glanced up at the stream of frigid air just thirty centimeters above his head.

His heart filled with admiration—Eris’s control was truly remarkable!

If he didn’t possess the extraordinary trait of advanced mana mastery, even Li Wei might not have achieved such precise control.

Seeing this, Li Wei felt reassured enough to leave all other enemies to Eris.

He focused entirely on the two summoners ahead.

"Fire Snake!"

A cluster of blue flames erupted before Li Wei.

From within the fire, a fire snake over ten meters long swiftly emerged, shooting toward the two summoners.

Their faces turned pale—they had never seen such a fire snake technique before.

"Summon—Fire-Devouring Beast!"

Purple light shimmered in midair.

The silhouette of the Fire-Devouring Beast materialized from within the glow.

The summoner sneered, "My Fire-Devouring Beast specializes in countering fire mages!"

Li Wei looked closely.

The Fire-Devouring Beast was as large as a small mountain, its entire body blazing red like fire, resembling a giant toad.

At the summoner's command—

The beast opened its massive mouth and took a deep breath.

Its mouth generated tremendous suction, pulling the blue fire snake flying toward them uncontrollably into its jaws.

The Fire-Devouring Beast smacked its lips twice, swallowing the blue fire snake as easily as eating spicy strips.

Li Wei showed surprise.

He hadn't expected this Fire-Devouring Beast to actually be quite capable.

The power of the Blue Fire Snake Technique surpassed most fourth-tier spells.

Yet the beast had swallowed it so effortlessly.

Clearly, it wasn't simple after all.

"Hic."

Having finished the fire snake, the Fire-Devouring Beast belched, a wisp of hot vapor escaping from the corner of its mouth.

The fiery boils on its back also glowed much brighter.

Li Wei smiled slightly. "I'd like to see how much your Fire-Devouring Beast can eat."

Chain Fireball!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Blue fireballs flew continuously toward the two summoners.

The Fire-Devouring Beast moved in front of them, opened its mouth wide, and inhaled deeply.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

Each fireball was sucked into its mouth like meatballs, chewed not at all before being swallowed whole.

Li Wei’s lips curved upward slightly.

Hidden among the blue fireballs was one green fireball.

The Fire-Devouring Beast inhaled without discrimination.

The moment it swallowed the green fireball, its expression changed.

Like someone suddenly biting into chili peppers.

Hiss!

The taste was rather... unique.

"Hic!" The Fire-Devouring Beast burped again, a small flame puffing from its mouth.

It seemed to suffer slight indigestion.

Li Wei grinned—that was exactly what he wanted.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

More and more cyan fireballs streaked toward the Flame-Devouring Beast.

The beast ate several, but something felt wrong—flames began to flicker from its nostrils.

It closed its mouth, refusing to eat more, and turned to flee.

As the Flame-Devouring Beast fled, the two summoners stood dumbfounded.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Fireballs shot toward their faces, and the two hastily reacted.

One quickly forced the recall of the Flame-Devouring Beast; the other hurriedly cast a defensive spell.

"Guardian Barrier!"

Summoners were a subclass of mages.

They primarily fought through summoned creatures, though they also studied spells to assist their summons or protect themselves.

A pale yellow Guardian Barrier enveloped the two figures.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the bombardment of the Chain Fireball spell, the barrier shattered swiftly.

The Flame-Devouring Beast was forcibly recalled, only to face Li Wei's barrage of fireballs.

"Is that... Chain Fireball?"

One of them gasped in shock.

He seemed almost unwilling to believe it.

The power of this Chain Fireball was simply absurd.

His Guardian Barrier could withstand attacks from a fourth-tier magical beast.

And yet it had been broken so easily by just a few fireballs?

Moreover, the number of fireballs didn’t make sense!

Whose Chain Fireball spell could keep firing endlessly like this?

So far, at least twenty or thirty fireballs had already been launched.

Never had anyone seen such an outrageous version of Chain Fireball.

"Don't wait anymore—summon your instinctive summons and kill him directly!"

"Damn it—we have no choice."

"Summon! Three-Headed Griffon!"

"Summon! Poison Dragonfly!"

"Squeee!"

A majestic Three-Headed Griffon appeared midair, radiating formidable presence.

It was a fifth-tier summon.

Beside it materialized a green-headed fly—the Poison Dragonfly—which looked far less impressive.

Yet the danger it exuded was no weaker than the Three-Headed Griffon’s—

Perhaps even greater!

The Three-Headed Griffon lunged at Li Wei, claws tearing through the air as its three eagle heads swooped down from different angles, encircling him in a deadly assault.

Attacks came from all directions—Li Wei had no way to dodge.

The Poison Dragonfly silently glided beside him, extending its long, sharp beak straight toward his body.

Rip!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The Griffon’s strikes were blocked by the invisible armor.

A series of blows shattered eight or nine layers of the hidden protection.

Li Wei trembled as he sensed a deadly threat approaching from behind.

Every hair on his back stood on end.

The Poison Dragonfly had actually pierced through the invisible armor.

Fortunately, Li Wei reacted fast—he instantly transformed into elemental form at the critical moment.

The dragonfly’s beak stabbed straight through where his body had been—

Only to find nothing but empty space.

Quickly realizing what happened, the dragonfly pulled back its beak, preparing to inject venom into Li Wei’s body.

But Li Wei shifted into blue flame form.

His fiery body surged to ten thousand degrees in an instant.

He reached out and grabbed hold of the dragonfly’s long beak embedded within him.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

Intense heat scorched the insect’s beak, emitting sizzling sounds and smoke.

White vapor rose into the air.

The Poison Dragonfly’s entire body convulsed violently.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Three-Headed Griffon opened its mouths and unleashed three spiraling gusts of wind magic.

With a casual wave of his hand, Li Wei expelled torrents of flames.

A ring of fire spread outward.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ring intercepted the whirlwind blasts.

Li Wei spun around and made a grasping motion in midair.

Green flames erupted across the Poison Dragonfly’s body.
