Chapter 491: Chapter 491 - 242: Burning for the King with One’s Own Flame (Part 2)
With Chen Yuan’s spiritual guidance, the advantage gradually shifted.
"Moreover... the other Beastmasters played their roles too. Although they didn’t injure the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch, they did deplete its stamina to an extent, making Spark’s responses more composed."
In short, under the influence of various factors, Spark finally defeated the Morning Star Quality Blazing Soul Flame Monarch, albeit at a slight cost.
Chen Yuan looked up at Spark, whose right wing was injured, his heart aching slightly: "You’ve worked hard."
Being with him for so long, Spark rarely experienced the feeling of being hurt.
"Chirp~"
Spark shook its head, glanced back at its once beautiful and smooth feathers, now charred and disheveled. It showed a hint of heartache at first but quickly replaced it with determination.
The reason I got hurt is because I’m not strong enough.
If I were strong enough, the flame I spew would take out the opponent in one shot, without getting hurt at all.
When I return, I must train twice as hard!
Thinking of this, Spark lowered its gaze to look at Cola, its eyes flickering.
Merely relying on my hard training won’t work; I need an opponent who can keep up with my progress.
Cola must also train twice as hard!
"Woof woof!"
Feeling the unfriendly gaze from the boss, Cola nervously tucked its tail, barking twice with apparent fear.
It had a bad premonition.
"After taking care of that guy, it’s time for this group of Wandering Fire Ash Spirits."
In a flash of thought, Chen Yuan’s peripheral vision suddenly noticed Wandering Fire Ash Spirits drifting this way, immediately becoming alert.
During Spark and the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch’s battle, due to the vast area affected by the battle’s shockwaves, most Wandering Fire Ash Spirits were drifting afar, only a few fearless ones staying nearby.
But when the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch fell, the nearby Wandering Fire Ash Spirits surged forth, with those from afar quickly approaching.
Chen Yuan couldn’t immediately determine whether their target was the fallen Blazing Soul Flame Monarch or themselves, but it didn’t hinder his swift decision: "Cola, guard!"
"Woof woof!"
Hearing its name, Cola roared proudly, tail rising, instantly realizing its time to shine and help its master solve problems!
If I can take care of all the Wandering Fire Ash Spirits here, others will surely see me as capable as the boss!
Even as the master’s Pet Beast, I, Cola, am no less capable!
In an instant, Cola’s light brown fur danced wildly despite the absence of wind.
As Cola’s roar echoed around, the fiercest wind started blowing, making its fur even more flamboyant and vivid.
The wild wind was intense, the Wind Blade sharp, blocking all Wandering Fire Ash Spirits trying to approach.
The gale swayed their flames, the Wind Blade shattered their bodies.
Chen Yuan’s mind repeatedly registered alerts sourced from the Source Point.
Cola is naturally suited for large-scale battles, its Wind Surge and Wind Blade are wide-range skills, the more opponents, the higher its defeat efficiency.
However, when the opponents’ numbers exceed a certain level, Cola also struggles to halt their offensive stride.
Just like the current situation, one Wandering Fire Ash Spirit falls, another drifts in to take its place, creating a cyclical effect. The Wandering Fire Ash Spirits seem endless, making Cola quickly weary and breathless.
It’s not a machine dog, can’t use skills every moment, it needs brief intervals to catch its breath.
During these brief intervals, the Wandering Fire Ash Spirits seize the chance to close in.
Fortunately, when Cola took action, Spark found a moment to breathe and recover, its eyes flickering with flames. It swiftly rolled up a hot wave, spewing fiery torrents that struck down the encroaching Wandering Fire Ash Spirits.
Where the flame spread, all Wandering Fire Ash Spirits fell.
"Hum hum~"
Twin Flower Concubine wasn’t idle either, standing on Chen Yuan’s shoulder, its eyes flashing with a cold light.
Though in its daytime form, the gentle and kind Twin Flower Concubine cannot forgive any villains attempting to get close to "Mom." With a gentle wave of its hands, it directly released a faint pink mist.
In the mist-covered area, Wandering Fire Ash Spirits successively fell asleep.
Soon, large areas of Wandering Fire Ash Spirits collapsed.
Yet, some Wandering Fire Ash Spirits possessed Tier Two strength, their flame bodies swelling and burning, desperately closing in on the fallen Blazing Soul Flame Monarch.
The little ones’ strength was dispersed, failing to deliver a one-hit kill, thus providing them the chance to approach the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch.
Like moths to a flame, they continually drift towards the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch, the burning flames on their bodies continuously surging towards the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch, transforming into a source of its strength.
The flames on these Wandering Fire Ash Spirits quickly faded, dimmed, until they vanished, while the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch’s originally dim fire gradually grew brighter, swelling, burning.
The once weakened aura quickly recovered, seemingly brewing an even more terrifying aura.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Another sacrifice?"
For one’s fire to fuel the king.
After painstakingly defeating the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch, Chen Yuan was naturally unwilling to see it reawaken and create trouble.
This mustn’t happen.
But the little ones were busy restraining and expelling the Wandering Fire Ash Spirits attempting to avenge their king, momentarily unable to take care of the other Wandering Fire Ash Spirits.
If viewed from above, one could clearly see Wandering Fire Ash Spirits drifting from the raging wildfires, surging simultaneously from all directions towards Chen Yuan and the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch’s location, densely packed like a tide.
Chen Yuan could only watch as the Wandering Fire Ash Spirits’ condition quickly recovered, thinking, "If only I could knock them out with a punch."
In critical moments, continuous roaring suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Roar!"
Furious Wave Crocodile’s visage was ferocious, its roar earth-shaking, as its enormous body suddenly rushed in, its mighty Wave Tail instantly slaying a Wandering Fire Ash Spirit attempting a sacrifice.
Seeing the Wandering Fire Ash Spirit knocked flying, accumulated anger quickly dissipated as a hint of disdain flashed in Furious Wave Crocodile’s eyes.
Can’t beat your king, but I can teach you a lesson!
All go die for Lord Crocodile!
Xia Heng’s figure appeared from behind Furious Wave Crocodile, he approached Chen Yuan without speaking, simply nodding at him before focusing on commanding Furious Wave Crocodile.
Mulate and two supplementary teammates appeared successively, commanding their Pet Beasts into the fight, immediately alleviating Chen Yuan’s tremendous pressure.
"Advisor Chen, we’re here to help you!"
Suddenly, voices rang out; Chen Yuan turned to see familiar and unfamiliar Beastmasters entering the scene, bringing their respective Pet Beasts. The surging momentum immediately overwhelmed the densely packed Wandering Fire Ash Spirits.
Liu Jinglan rode her Red Flame Ox, the latter spewing flames from its mouth, charging fiercely amidst the Wandering Fire Ash Spirits, its aggressive advance astonishing.
Chang Yuhuan’s expression was serious. She stood behind the Water Spirit Turtle, which spat streams of water from its mouth, transforming into the ultimate nemesis feared by Wandering Fire Ash Spirits, extinguishing the flames on their bodies.
Liu Jingyi’s expression was excited, she fought side by side with the Fiery Flame Eagle, which soared high in the sky, mimicking Spark’s behavior, spewing flames, sparking starry bursts.
The other Beastmasters joined the grand scale melee with their respective Pet Beasts, fighting side by side with astonishing efficiency to push back the Wandering Fire Ash Spirits.
The scene was spectacular, the momentum grand, yet not chaotic.
Though the Beastmasters didn’t command, each team coordinated seamlessly, collaborating perfectly. Even though the number of Pet Beasts was far fewer than the Wandering Fire Ash Spirits, they suppressed the latter in just a short time, swiftly gaining the upper hand.
Those Wandering Fire Ash Spirits close to Chen Yuan and the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch were pushed far back, unable to get close.
The pressure on Chen Yuan dramatically reduced, allowing him to catch his breath.
After commanding an intense battle for a long time and entering another, his spiritual power quickly depleted, leaving him physically drained.
After what felt like ages,
The Wandering Fire Ash Spirits finally feared, no longer fixing their gaze on their sole king, instead scattering aimlessly.
They knew fear.
With Wandering Fire Ash Spirits attempting to flee, the Beastmasters charged ahead with relentless yells.
This area finally returned to peace.
Chen Yuan took a deep breath, raised his gaze to Spark and smiled: "Let’s go find the Blazing Flame Flower."
