An unbelievably powerful entity was swimming peacefully in its natural habitat filled with blazing, flowing, lava, enjoying the nice swim as it continued to build up the Law of Fire throughout every molecule of its body.
The environment of extreme heat in its surroundings only made it more powerful and efficient in its comprehension of the Law of Fire, its body attuned to the lava flowing around it and the immense heat all over the cavern as it continued its cultivation.
At this moment though, around a certain region of the wide cavernous space that covered the entirety of its body and the region where a special item stood peacefully...time had actually come to a stop!
RUMBLE!
The shaking of essence could barely be discernible as in this frozen area of time, the enormous eyes of the Draconic Fire Behemoth actually snapped wide open, its overpowering senses observing the changes around it as it felt chains of time restricting its oversized body!
'HMPH!'
The eyes of the Draconic Fire Behemoth actually opened wide in this stopped area of time, its body that was frozen in place staying still as its humongous eyes locked towards a particular location where it could feel the movements of an enormous amount of mana.
Its powerful Origin that was drenched in the Law of Fire and enhanced even further in this environment and its inborn ability actually allowed it to observe the movement of essence that was spreading out from a certain being in a far away location!
This unique essence had already covered the expansive space it was in as it actually made possible for time to come to a halt, but the Draconic Fire Behemoth sensed the movement of even more vigorous essence shooting towards a particular Ancient Pedestal that held a special treasure which made its high achievements in the Law of Fire possible.
One must know that within the time period that time had been stopped, not even an instant had passed as in this stopped time, the Elite Behemoth came to attention and observed all of these things instantaneously, its terrifying power going forth another level as it even sensed the spectacular movement of mana of a cast skill that was heading towards the treasure atop the archaic pedestal!
The opened eyes of the Draconic Fire Behemoth locked on the small being that was releasing this mana, realizing its purpose instantly as its red eyes sparked with flames in this stopped time, the vigorous and fantastical essence within its body bubbling forth as it uttered three words within its heart.
{{Flame Lord's Authority}}.
RUMBLEEEE!!!
From the very origin of the Draconic Fire Behemoth, a unique power roared forth and erupted from it, going on to cover the entire area where the essence of a certain intruding being was stopping time, as well as the essence that was snaking towards the special item atop the ancient pedestal!
CRACK!
A ludicrous scene played itself thereafter as in the grey world of stopped time, sparks of fire erupted as they went on to actually shatter this frozen space, the energy from this stupendous ability that the Draconic Fire Behemoth had cast going on to wrap around the energy going towards the ancient pedestal even faster as this energy was dispersed, whatever ability being directed towards the special treasure being cancelled right away!
Shocking!
Majestic!
Powerful!
Time flowed freely again as the air vibrated with power, the enormous body of the Behemoth beginning to rise as its gaze filled with an aura of regality and strength locked towards a particular intruder. The ability that the Draconic Fire Behemoth had cast was still in the surroundings, wrapping up everything this fearsome dragon could see, and that included the intruder.
As a being extremely proficient in one of the Universal Laws, as a powerful Dragon born in the Celestial Realm...this was its Authority!
Its gaze continued to lock towards the individual that had tried to get his filthy hands on something that had been with it since it was born, watching this being arrogantly as its power only continued to climb higher. Its mystical senses that could discern even the movement of essence and cancel already cast skills wrapped around this being as a surprised look appeared on its fearsome face, a voice of immense power ringing out in the wide lava filled cavern.
"You were actually able to withstand my Authority, little worm?"
Its voice reverberated across the space as vibration spread across the lava below him, his enormous body moving directly in front of the ancient pedestal as it obscured its gaze completely and stared towards the trembling being.
The creature that had intruded became more clear in his eyes, the outline of a small being barely an inch long zooming and expanding in his eyesight. The intruder wore a unique set of armor that let out a fiery aura that seemed to be protecting him, his body and limbs being completely wrapped around this set of armor as they were protected fully from his expanded Authority that had even burnt away mana!
The only thing that was showing injuries on the intruder's body was the devilishly handsome face that did not have this armor wrapping around it, burn marks that were rapidly appearing and disappearing apparent on the face as the energy surrounding him burnt his face, but he was healing the injuries just as fast.
"Curiouser and curiouser."
The rumbling voice of the Draconic Fire Behemoth rang out again as it saw the being in front of its sight, the body of this being rapidly enlarging as he became around two meters in size.
In his right hand, a fearsome Glaive appeared as it rotated around his body and dispersed the fearsome strength {{Flame Lord's Authority}} slightly, reducing the constant damage it dealt to the one part of his body that wasn't covered by the unique armor as his face began healing completely.
The boots this being wore shone a brilliant red l.u.s.ter as they stood on the flowing lava with ease, the extreme heat seemingly giving this intruder only a little trouble as his gaze also locked on the enormous Draconic Fire Behemoth that overshadowed his sight.
Both had red eyes shining resplendently, one more beastial than the other as a man and dragon locked gazes!
