Chapter 288: Philips Battle (1/2)

Six days after Philip entered the volcano.

On the third day, he has changed his training method, right now he was completely submerged inside the lava and is performing the yoga poses which are used for body cultivation. But he is not solely concentrated on the body, he is going for the elemental fusion.

Three days earlier, he has a very peculiar idea. All this while, he has been treating himself as a Dual elemental Warrior-Mage. But what if he treated his metal and fire element as a single entity. What if he stopped looking at it as two different entities co-existing together?

But he cannot find a proper way to visualize it and then came this idea. He had a conversation with Sam on the last day on the island about elemental fusion and Sam said that the body cultivation along with the elemental energy could help.

Thus, he wanted to absorb the energy from the Magma which has both fire and metal inside. And to his surprised, his not so common idea actually succeeded and he could feel his body conditions changing a bit.

For starters, his skin was hardened quite well and when he tried to use elemental fusion., he could feel more at ease. And the percentage of fusion definitely improved, albeit very minutely.

So, for the past three days, he was working on improving his elemental fusion.

But on the sixth day, he was suddenly jolted awake, because he felt that the magma around him becoming more turbulent, the calmness and stillness were nowhere to be seen. It is a complete mess, which made Philip frustrated. He came out to see what is happening only to see a person is standing on the edge of the mouth of the volcano.

He is looking at Philip who came just popped his head out of the magma pool. Even before, Philip could ask what that guy's problem is, he was greeted with a series of wind blades one after another hitting him and his vicinity.

Philip became furious. He is barely staying safe in a lava pool with the help of the spiritual energy shield he created if, by any chance the attack disrupted the spiritual energy, he would have died.

Even though he could resist lava for a few minutes and make his way out, he highly doubted that the uninvited guest would let him do that.

Philip, immediately jumped out of the pool, without a second thought. He landed on the small platform at the edge of the pool and looked at the person coldly.

He is in a disadvantageous position now. He cannot deal with this person directly from the bottom and he has to climb up as fast as he can.

Philip immediately sprung into action. He leaped towards the wall of the volcano and started climbing up as fast as he can. His senses are completely on high alert as he sensed any incoming attacks.

And soon, many wind blades started coming towards and every time an attack came, he thrust against the wall and jumped to the opposite side.

But, after three times, the move was cracked. When he leaped to the opposite side, he was attacked again and this time, the wind blade brushed past his cheek leaving a scar on his face. He was quite gloomy and looked at the opponent while cursing inside.

'I have to ask Sam to make one of those floating boards for me.' He swore in his heart that he should definitely pester that guy until he made one. As for, how he would make it feasible for his elements to be useful, that guy can decide himself.

Philip's started becoming metallic. This is the basic technique of every metal elemental user. They can solidify their skin in such a way that they can increase their defense a bit.

Philip continuously ignored the attacks he didn't care anymore. He could take these few hits. The face of the opponent changed, He wanted to take down Philip with the help of the environment. He can save a lot of effort, but Philip didn't allow that.

But he didn't dare to use very large movements. This is the mouth of an active volcano, if he made huge turmoil in the wind and created tornados, then he would change from hunter to a being a prey.

He started concentrating wind blades at the tip of each finger as Philip climbed at maximum speed.

When Philip is just four feet away from the top, the opponent waved his hands, ten wind blades crisscrossed each other as they formed a net and shot towards Philip. The more distance they traveled the gaps between the net widened and covered a large area.

The intensity of the attack is also quite strong. Even if Philip can escape at a little, the surrounding rock could break without giving any place to move as for jumping to the opposite side, it is almost impossible.

But Philip seemed unbothered because he covered himself with spiritual energy and jumped diagonally upwards on the opposite side. He twisted his body in extremely weird angles in the air as he passed through the gap of the wind blade net and landed on the top.

It would be more appropriate to call it a crash, rather than landing, He slowly stood and looked at the opponent.

”Now, we can have a proper chat, don't you think so?” Philip said with a cold smile and extended his hand and sent an extremely intense fireball at the opponent.

The opponent sneered and easily dodged but there is not much distance on the mouth of the volcano. They only have a ring of rock with a thickness of two feet. Fall on either side is not a great experience.

Philip also made his move. The other party is clearly a Wind Mage, so he would try to keep a distance between them so that he can have an advantage.

But the battleground now is disadvantageous for both of them at least Philip can still take it if he fell into the lava, but the opponent cannot even do that.

Philip started throwing fireball one after another
