The seven fire serpents flew at a very high speed, and wherever they passed through, the stone
houses nearby immediately began to blaze. The burning flames towered towards the high heavens, an
absolutely catastrophic scene. Seeing their homes be disintegrated from afar, the denizens of
Wushan township, who had long since fled and hidden far away, all felt pain and sorrow in their
hearts. In front of the seven giant fire serpents, their stone houses seemed like naught but toys.
They were easily demolished, and the flames in the wreckages rose towards the sky. "Run!" The
female archer no longer cared about anything else. She immediately directed her griffin to fly to
a higher altitude. There was a limit to the distance at which a fire-element magus would be able
to control the seven fire serpents. If the archer and her mount could fly beyond that point, she
would be safe. "Whooooosh." Two of the blazing fire serpents enveloped the two female magi and the
Vampiric Iron Bull as well. Almost instantaneously, the sound of burning, crackling flesh could be
heard, and Linley thought that he could smell hair burning. "Big brother Kerry [Kai'lai]! Save
us!" The desolate cry of a female magus sounded out, filled with pain, from within the middle of
the fire serpent. "Snort. Snort." The eyes of the Vampiric Iron Bull were terrifyingly red, and
every single muscle in its body was quivering nonstop. It continuously roared in anger, wanting to
charge past through the encircling fire serpents, but unfortunately, the restrictive power of each
fire serpent was simply too great. "Louisa [Lu'yi'sha]!" The red-haired warrior howled angrily,
his voice filled with anguish. Very shortly afterwards, both female magi and the Vampiric Iron
Bull were reduced to naught but gray ash. But the red-haired warrior no longer had even the
opportunity to cry out. He and the other two warriors each had to face an enormous fire serpent of
their own as well. In front of the titanic flaming body of the serpents, they seemed to be nothing
more than children, incapable of the slightest resistance. They had the power to split stone with
a single punch, but so what? While constricted by a huge flaming serpent, what could they do?
"Ahhhh!" Surrounded by flaming serpents, the three warriors couldn't help but let out torturous
cries. As they shouted, their battle-qi vanished, having been demolished. The hissing sound of
burning flesh once again could be heard. The muscles on the faces of the three warriors twitched,
and their eyes bulged out. All the hair on their bodies was burnt clean in the twinkling of an
eye, and following that their skin, their flesh, and their bones. Nothing could withstand the
terrifyingly high temperature of the fire serpents. In a very short period of time, the three
formidable warriors had also been reduced to nothing more than dust. "Huff...huff..." The female
archer's breath was ragged, but she had finally escaped the boundaries of the Dance of the Fire
Serpents. "Luke...Louisa...big brother Kerry...I will definitely avenge you all. Definitely." The
female archer cried bitterly, and as she did, she directed her griffin to fly still higher."
"ZZZZT!" An enormously thick bolt of lightning struck down from the clear, cloudless skies,
striking directly down on the totally unprepared archer. Her entire body was turned directly to
dust from that strike, while her griffin was scorched black as well. The two of them fell down
from the sky, heavily crashing into the stone ground of the town as they crashed through a wooden
roof and into the base of a dwelling. "Want to run? Hmph." The mysterious magus let out a deep
snort. Over a hundred meters away, Hillman swallowed hard, his own heart filled with a thread of
inescapable fear. "Not only is he a magus of the eighth rank...he is a dual element magus!" "That
spell was called Dance of the Fire Serpents?" Linley was still standing there, totally awestruck.
The sight of those enormous fire serpents and the inferno they had cast had totally shocked
Linley, like he had never been shocked before. Each of the fire serpents was as terrifying as the
Velocidragon. Seven of them together? They represented an utter apocalypse. Even the stone houses
were disintegrated by their flames. In the blink of an eye, those four mighty warriors, those two
magi, and that archer, as well as their two magical beast companions were utterly destroyed, with
the possible exception of that griffin. The seven fire serpents had disappeared by now, but Linley
could still feel the terrifying, seismic presence and power emanating from the area. The entire
battlefield had been annihilated, leaving nothing left but the finest of debris. The debris all
radiated tremendous heat, as though testifying to the power of the battle they had just endured.
