Realizing this, Leo Ray nodded at Scarlett, agreeing to her request to use the Magic Medicine.
On the other side, Scarlett took the Blazing Flame Pill with her head tilted back.
In a moment’s time, an impressive magical power surged from her slender body.
Then, as Scarlett’s lips parted slightly and she began to recite the spell again,
this time, the small flames that emerged from the colorful metal door did not go out. Instead, with a whoosh, they instantly spread across the entire door like a wildfire.
In an instant, accompanied by the crisp sound of chains breaking,
the tightly closed door opened in response.
As the door opened, a wave of heat immediately swept out from within, raising the temperature in the hall by more than ten degrees instantly.
“Who dares to disturb my solitary cultivation?!”
Immediately afterward, an enraged voice suddenly reached everyone’s ears.
At the same time, an incredibly powerful aura accompanied the voice and the heatwave, rippling through the air.
“My Lord, it’s the voice of the Lord of Magnet City!”
Hearing this, Ned Nathan, whose strength was only at the Second Tier, couldn’t help but take a few steps back and exclaim to Leo Ray.
“My Lord, there is only one person ahead, and his strength is at the level of a Tier 4 Senior Powerhouse.”
The rough voice sounded as Taylor, leaning on his giant sword, stood in front of the door and spoke to Leo Ray.
“A Tier 4 Senior Powerhouse? That means he must be at least at the Five-Star Tier 4 level. It seems like this guy is really strange!”
Gazing at the hallway inside the door, which was filled with red crystals, Leo Ray’s eyes narrowed as he continued to observe, with Taylor and his other subordinates protecting him from behind.
In the blink of an eye, a figure exuding a powerful aura appeared at the straight end of the hallway inside the door.
Right in front, when Leo Ray and his team saw the man’s face, they couldn’t help but look astonished.
At the end of the hallway, a tall middle-aged man over two meters tall stood chillingly.
Upon close observation, there was nothing particularly remarkable about this person’s face; it was just heavily surrounded by a fierce and evil aura.
However, the surface of his body was extremely strange, with many areas of his exposed, muscular body already crystallized, emitting a bizarre red glow.
At first glance, he looked like a moving red crystal giant.
Furthermore, Leo Ray clearly noticed that,
these fiery red crystals had completely merged with his flesh and blood, which gave people an inexplicable sense of horror at a glance.
“Is this… a Parasitic Blood Crystal?!”
Seeing this scene, Scarlett, who was standing next to Leo Ray, couldn’t help but exclaim.
Upon hearing her words, Leo Ray nodded slightly as Rolanddel appeared in his hand, gesturing for Scarlett to continue.
“My Lord, Parasitic Blood Crystals are extremely rare. Even the Grand Attic Library of the Magic Tower, which records everything, only has a few mentions of them.”
Looking at the strange powerhouse slowly approaching, Scarlett couldn’t help but swallow hard.
Then she said, “This Parasitic Blood Crystal is actually not a mineral or crystal, but a unique life form. It is said that its ancestors did not originate from this world. Once merged with it, you can gain unique cultivation methods and quickly enhance your strength.
However, its final outcome is being completely devoured, turning into a terrifying and uncontrollable being that only knows how to kill.”Taking a deep breath, Scarlett’s little face showed solemnity.
She continued, “Fortunately, this parasitic blood crystal cannot forcibly attach itself to a host without meeting a prerequisite condition – it needs the host’s consent to successfully complete the parasitism. Therefore, it usually only parasitizes low-intelligence demon beasts.”
“It’s rare for it to infest advanced races like humans or elves unless the host has an extreme obsession with gaining power, even at the cost of their life.”
“I see.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly, both surprised and intrigued by this oddity, and asked, “So, their unique cultivation method is related to these Blazing Crystals?”
Scarlett replied, “My Lord, although the book doesn’t explicitly record it, it should be the case. The Blazing Crystals usually contain intense fire-element magic power, which perfectly matches their attributes. It seems that their rapid progress from a Tier 3 Senior Powerhouse to a Tier 4 Senior Powerhouse within a few years is due to these Blazing Crystals.”
“This girl knows quite a bit.”
On the other side, a gloomy voice spoke up, “Indeed, I made a deal with the parasitic blood crystals and used the Blazing Crystals for my cultivation.”
At this point, he lifted his sturdy arm, and the eerie red hue on his body brightened slightly, sneering, “I must say, the sensation of power constantly surging within me is simply exhilarating, hahaha!”
“City Lord, over the years, have you pursued power that doesn’t belong to you, disregarding the lives of the inhabitants of Magnet Town, and carried out such heinous acts?”
Ned Nathan stepped forward, his voice trembling, and indignantly inquired.
“Ned? And Nathan…”
The icy gaze landed on them, and the Lord of Magnet City’s twisted face was filled with menace, “So you’re the ones who brought these strangers here.”
Immediately afterward, the laugh of a madman burst forth from him, “That’s right! What do their insignificant lives have to do with me?
It won’t be long before I can step into the realm of a Tier 5 Powerhouse! I’ll become the pinnacle of this country’s battle prowess, hahaha!”
At that moment, a bone-chilling killing intent erupted from the Lord of Magnet City. He coldly proclaimed, “But, before that, all of you must die here!”
As he spoke, the tremendous magic power began to gather frantically around him, causing the air temperature to rise sharply, as if a torrential blaze was about to burst forth.
“Has the power that doesn’t belong to him completely clouded his judgment? It seems the mystery has been unraveled.”
On the other side, Leo Ray helplessly shook his head and said to the tall man beside him, “Taylor, end this ridiculous farce.”
“Yes, My Lord!”
The burly voice resounded, and Taylor’s figure moved, the Dragon Roar of his giant sword sounding out as he charged toward the frenzied City Lord of Magnet Town, silver trails flashing dangerously.
In an instant, a deadly silver trajectory flashed.
Accompanied by the sound of shattered crystals, the City Lord of Magnet Town was transformed into a dense blood fog, which then completely dispersed into silence.
As the Lord of Magnet City’s lifeforce vanished, the eerie red glow on his body also dimmed until it finally disappeared into the air.
“My Lord, the parasitic blood crystal and the host share a symbiotic relationship. When the host dies, it will automatically vanish. You need not worry.”
Then, Scarlett’s clear voice entered Leo Ray’s ears.
“Very well.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly.
With this, the crisis in Magnet Town was completely and impeccably resolved by their party.
As they spoke, a radiant object suddenly appeared above the shattered body of the City Lord, captured the attention of everyone present.
