At the same time, in the Forest of Souls, the battle had already reached its climax.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A deafening rumble exploded in the forest.
The huge muscular monster rampaged through the forest, sending trees and soil flying everywhere it passed.
At this moment, Grice was completely enraged. His head that was filled with anger only had one thought — kill the enemy in front of him, kill this piece of trash that destroyed the food, and put him into his mouth to eat.
Under this command, he was like a machine that did not sleep or rest. He chased after Heath relentlessly, looking as if he would not rest until he was dead.
Under Grice’s powerful attack, Heath also seemed to be unable to withstand it. He was forced to fight and retreat, unable to fight back.
The two of them, one chasing and the other escaping, quickly arrived at an empty space in the depths of the forest.
Just as they reached this place, Heath, who had been busy defending, suddenly slashed his sword at Grice.
This sword strike was unprecedentedly swift and fierce. It was like a bolt of lightning that cut through the sky as it struck Grice. Grice only felt a wave of power coming at him in an instant and sent him flying.
Since the start of the battle, Heath had finally gained the upper hand in terms of strength for the first time.
Grice was sent flying seven to eight meters away. Due to his abnormal physical defense, he did not suffer much damage. He even continued to attack Heath as soon as he landed.
However, his footsteps suddenly stopped after he had rushed out for a short distance.
In front of him, Heath suddenly took out a long Necromancer’s Staff. The surging elemental fluctuations in the staff were exceptionally eye-catching.
Grice cried out in surprise, “An official Wizard tool!”
Heath changed his previous arrogance and did not give Grice any unnecessary explanation.
He only chanted a long incantation and held the Necromancer’s Staff with both hands, thrusting it heavily into the grass in front of him.
Suddenly…
An extremely huge hexagram magic array on the ground suddenly lit up, covering the entire forest.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of rushing wind could be heard.
The fluctuations of the fire elements in the air suddenly became intense. Large amounts of fire elements could be seen sweeping over from all directions with the naked eye, and there were even flames appearing in the air.
The ground cracked open one after another, and the lava-like flames surged out from the ground.
It was a terrifying scene!
Under the terrifying elemental fluctuations, the hatred in Grice’s mind suddenly cleared up. An unprecedented sense of danger enveloped his entire body.
His first reaction was to escape. He had to quickly escape from this deadly place.
However, his years of battle experience told him that if he tried to escape at this time, he would definitely die. It was impossible for him to escape from the casting range of this huge spell before the spell was completed.
Therefore, he did not retreat. Instead, he charged forward and charged towards Heath.
Seeing that Heath was chanting a spell, Heath could not help but think to himself, ‘Your reaction is good. Unfortunately, it’s too late.’
As he spoke, a transparent red shield suddenly appeared in front of him and enveloped him in all directions like an eggshell.
At this moment, the spell that Heath was casting was the [Hellfire Sea] that Shadow Tower had given him as a reward two years ago.
This kind of large-scale spell had a longer casting time, so when building a model, it would inevitably cast a protective spell to protect the caster from being disturbed while casting.
The Hellfire Sea was a powerful spell that was comparable to an official ring spell. Its protective spell was naturally at the Wizard-level. How could it be broken by a mere Apprentice like Grice?
No matter how strong an Apprentice was, he was still an Apprentice.
Driven by a strong desire to survive, Grice desperately raised his fist and smashed it at Heath over and over again. However, no matter how many times he attacked, the transparent shield did not move at all, blocking all of his attacks.
Until Heath finished chanting the last character.
“Hellfire Sea!”
It was like the declaration of the God of Death, but also like the death knell of the end of the world.
The moment Heath’s voice fell, the entire forest instantly underwent a shocking transformation.
In the forest, balls of flames were ignited one after another. On the ground, pillars of fire shot up into the sky one after another. Countless fireballs descended from the sky, and countless fire dragons surged out from all directions.
The entire forest instantly turned into a sea of fire.
“No!”
Amidst Grice’s hysterical screams, the huge monster was drowned in the sea of fire.
On the other side, outside the Forest of Souls.
The people of the Church of Light who had just escaped into a forest and been injured stared in shock at the flames that soared into the sky in the distance.
Even though they were several miles away, everyone could clearly feel the terrifying elemental fluctuations.
“Wizard… Wizard… Did a Wizard make a move?”
“That direction… seems to be the direction of the battle between the Sword Wizard and that monster… Could it be because of them…”
“How is this possible? How can an Apprentice use such terrifying… terrifying power?”
Celia’s expression changed. “Paul, should we go and take a look?”
Before Paul could reply, the other Apprentices’ expressions changed. “Are you crazy? It wasn’t easy for us to escape.”
Celia frowned. “But… But he saved us.”
The Apprentices fell silent.
Paul said, “Celia, I know what you want to say, but now is not the time to thank him. Let’s take care of ourselves first. If we are fated to meet again in the future, we will repay this favor today.”
Who knew who would win the battle between the two of them?
Moreover, when they attacked Shadow Tower previously, the Church of Light had also put in a lot of effort…
Celia opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.
However, Paul did not give her the chance.
He waved his hand and said decisively, “Alright, let’s leave quickly. Let’s leave this crazy place like the Underdark Treesea as soon as possible. Let’s go to the human world to hide for a while first.”
…
The sea of fire lasted for more than ten minutes before it finally weakened with the depletion of the Magic Stones until it finally stopped.
At this moment, the originally lush forest had disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a scorched land.
The cracked land was filled with pitch-black scorched earth, and the remaining charred trees were scattered everywhere.
Everything in sight was black, as if it was hell.
“Uh… Uh…”
A voice that sounded like a leaky pipe sounded, and it was exceptionally clear in this scorched earth.
Heath looked in the direction of the voice. The voice came from not far ahead, and there was a scorched monster standing there.
The skin on his body had been burnt to a crisp, and the flesh below was also charred black.
However, he was still breathing in the face of this terrifying injury. At this moment, he was mumbling ‘food, food’ as he walked out with great difficulty, as if he was trying to escape from this terrifying scorched land.
Heath could not help but smack his tongue. “What a terrifying recovery rate.”
After saying that, he carried his sword and walked forward.
Clang — Clang!
Two short syllables rang out. The humming sound of the cross-shaped sword and the sound of the cross-shaped sword piercing into a charred body.
Grice, whose heart had been shattered, finally could not hold on any longer. His upright body fell forward with a loud crash.
Boom!
His huge body crashed heavily onto the ground, causing a large amount of dust to rise up.
“Phew!”
After taking a deep breath, Heath’s heart suddenly relaxed. “He’s finally dead.”
Then, his gaze fell on the huge corpse in front of him. The excitement in his eyes was obvious. “What good stuff can this guy extract from his body?”
With this thought in mind, he bent his knees and squatted down. He pressed a hand on the monster’s body and muttered in his heart,
‘Extract!’
