Chapter 2104 Burning Cloud

With newfound confidence, Ramos, the Blazing Wind, swiftly altered his tactics once again. Abandoning his previous reliance on long-range attacks, he opted to charge ferociously toward Emery. This time, however, there was a noticeable difference. Ramos seemed to seamlessly integrate his [Myriad Flaming Cloak] with his [Divine Eagle Claws], creating an aura of intense burning birds that streaked toward Emery with lethal intent.

Emery reacted swiftly, launching another [Dao Edge] to intercept the onslaught. Yet, as expected, the blast proved ineffective against the grand magus's advance. The burning cloak absorbed the brunt of the attack, while Ramos's claw strikes effortlessly deflected the remaining force.

"NOW BURN!!" Ramos exclaimed, his expression alight with pure joy as he reveled in his newfound advantage.

With this bold move, the grand magus succeeded in closing the distance, thrusting the battle into fierce close-quarters combat. His [Soaring Wind] spell proved to be a formidable counter to Emery's [Space Bending], allowing him to pursue his adversary relentlessly and launch a barrage of deadly claw strikes?to overwhelm Emery with sheer force and ferocity. ery found himself in a precarious position; his sword skills and tier 7 Savage Sword were his only line of defense against Ramos's relentless assault. Despite his best efforts, none of his strikes were able to breach Ramos's formidable armor, and the grand magus's rapid, ferocious attacks left him with little opportunity to mount a counteroffensive.

As Ramos pressed the attack, Emery found himself increasingly on the defensive, unable to muster the concentration needed to channel another [Dao Edge] attack. To make matters worse, Ramos's tier 8 Myriad Flaming Cloak began to exert its secondary function, its intense burning heat quickly breaking through Emery's defenses.

Within seconds, Emery's tier 5 [Sylvian Armor] was reduced to smoldering ashes, leaving him reliant solely on his Twilight Wolf physique and high regenerative abilities to withstand the onslaught. Though these attributes spared him from being reduced to charred remains, they offered little respite from the searing pain coursing through his body.

"Hahaha! I'm going to turn you into a crispy dog!" Ramos laughter echoes across the battlefield.

Ruthlessly, the grand magus unleashed another of his powerful tier 7 spells, [Burning Cloud], into the fray. Shifting his movements, he began to rotate around his target, manipulating the waves of flame to surround Emery and block off any avenue of escape. As the flames closed in, they merged together, forming a colossal, swirling sphere of fire that blazed like a roaring sun in the sky.

Despite his growing sense of unease, Ramos refused to entertain the notion that Emery, a mere half-moon magus, could withstand the searing heat of his burning sphere. He was convinced that his opponent's resilience was either a trick or a last-ditch effort to resist, so Ramos opted to bide his time.

Minutes passed, and as the fiery sphere continued to dwindle, Ramos's shock turned to disbelief as he finally sensed multiple movements within its diminishing confines. To his astonishment, hundreds, thousands, of tiny beings began to reveal their presence, accompanied by a low, buzzing sound that filled the air.

"What the hell is that?!" Ramos exclaimed, his voice tinged with disbelief.

It was a swarm of [Shadowflame Bees]—an army of creatures renowned for their ability to opposition fire elements. The cosmic-filled fire were a delicacy to the creatures; the thousands of tiny beasts glowed brightly as they flitted about happily, greedily absorbing the remaining flames.

Dumbfounded by the unexpected turn of events, Ramos hastily ceased his spell.

"Thank you for feeding my bees," Emery remarked with a hint of a smile while calling back the bees to his aperture with a simple gesture.

Enraged by the unexpected turn of events, the grand magus retorted, "Huh! Even if you have a way to resist my flames, you still have no means to break my armor."

"Oh... are you sure about that?"

Emery slowly raised the savage sword. This time, there was an unmistakable aura of intensity surrounding its blade—an energy that crackled with raw power. Emery was excited as he prepared to put the grand magus's tier 8 defence to the test with his one and only tier 7 spell.
