Chapter 1132 - Greem’s Prowess (1/2)

How powerful had he become, exactly?

It was a question that Greem had always had in his mind since a long time ago.

The enemies he had faced in the past had always relied on strategies or negotiations or guerrilla tactics, leaving Greem with no opportunity to unleash the full extent of his powers. Moreover, his powers were always in a dynamic state of change and rapid improvement. He still lacked a standard for comparison of sufficient substance. Thus, he could not accurately weigh or a.s.sess his actual combat prowess in detail.

Today, G.o.d’s Son Mietzel had become the whetting stone by which Greem could prove himself.

Once the lich transmitted his intent to cooperate to Greem’s mind, he unleashed his most ferocious and unrelenting attack without any hesitation.

Countless dark red spots suddenly appeared on the battlefield. An endless spout of fire energy surged forth from these spots. The fire energy did not disperse. Instead, it gathered wildly around Greem, manifesting in the form of a fearsome flame giant that stood over a dozen meters tall.

In truth, every single higher-being was capable of realizing the gigantification of their bodies through the concentration of energy. However, without a powerful and constant supply of energy to sustain this form, the gigantification would only be a waste of power and a weakening of one’s defenses. It hardly ever brought about any benefit to combat.

Most higher beings would choose a body of appropriate size to host their consciousness. A suitable body was one that could maintain a dynamic energy balance while maximizing the owner’s combat ability.

Lich Kanganas’ first thought upon seeing Greem gigantify his body was scorn. He looked down on Greem as foolish and arrogant, utterly ignorant of the fact that an appropriate size was the best way to maximize one’s powers. However, when his sharp spiritual senses detected the wildly beating Heart of Principles in Greem’s chest, he had no choice but to change his mind.

A Heart of Principles of such power indeed required a ma.s.sive body as a host.

Kanganas could sense the fist-sized heart beating madly, continually pumping out an overwhelming and terrifying amount of fire energy. If Greem’s manifested body were too small, this amount of fire energy would be a burden on his body.

“Fire…fire, I need more fire!”

The tall, fierce flame giant raised his head and let out a deafening roar upon appearing. He then waved his hand and cast out a halo of flame that engulfed an area of over a thousand meters. The halo was so large that it encompa.s.sed the entire battlefield, catching Mietzel, Kanganas, and the dozen large buildings around them in its fury.

Where the halo of flame pa.s.sed by, houses collapsed, and the earth cracked. A raging sea of fire devoured everything under the heavens.

The wild and untamed flames licked away at the bodies of the two Fourth Grades furiously. It burned through their defensive forcefields, burned through their magical s.h.i.+elds, and lashed at their actual bodies.

Kanganas was not much affected by this. He had the body of a lich, after all. He was unburdened by frail, useless flesh and tendons. What remained of his body was a skeleton, most of the bones of which had been turned into unusual magical weapons. He was not at all afraid of such an unconcentrated energy attack.

However, Mietzel was still a human of flesh and blood.

If you took away his divine halo and divine powers, his body was incredibly frail in comparison to a Fourth Grade lich.

When the fires br.i.m.m.i.n.g with the power of laws burned Mietzel, he screamed out loud. He had no choice but to activate the only remaining divine spell sealed within the Libram of Wisdom.

Hierro’s Blessing!

s.h.i.+mmering divine power flowed across Mietzel’s tall and slender body, s.h.i.+elding him from all attacks from the outside. Even the wounds he had sustained prior to this quickly vanished in radiant light.

Lich Kanganas waved the small bone staff in his hand. Three death arrows fired at Mietzel but were instantly dissolved by the divine light around him. They had no effect at all.

Dammit. What powerful defensive ability.

Still, above all else, the most annoying thing about this divine spell was the fact that it had restored Mietzel to his peak condition.

An immovable, restored Mietzel.

Even the cold and heartless Lich Kanganas couldn’t help but feel his skull hurt at the sight of this.

“This divine spell is exhaustible. Our attacks might not be able to break it, but they can run down the divine power required to sustain it!” While Kanganas hesitated, unsure of whether to continue his offense or to resort to hara.s.sment to buy time, Greem’s deafening voice boomed once again.

The next second, a two-meter-thick flame shockwave cut across the hundred-meter distance and washed over the Mietzel’s unmoving body. The violent flames clashed with the brilliant divine power, causing wave after wave of energy storms to emanate from the center of the conflict.
