Chapter 265 – Human-Type Monster (2/2)

The white barrier slowly rose up. The monsters outside were also retreating per the Mutated Fire Kite’s order. At the moment, the situation no longer had anything to do with the NPCs as this was a fight between two monsters.

“Human-type monster? Luckily it’s not attacking us,” Luo Kun stated.

Humanoids were much more competitive than the normal ones. If this flaming figure also joined the Mutated Fire Kite to attack the town, Luo Kun and the NPCs simply wouldn’t be able to stop them.

The fiery red crystal drew an arc in the air and landed not far outside the town. Meanwhile, the two monsters still clashed savagely, neither giving way to the other.

A slew of fire skills were flung one after another as if two magic masters were displaying magic spells in a magic class.

The Mutated Fire Kite was already inferior in strength even at its peak. Now that it was heavily injured by the cannon, it was even less of a match for the enemy and was repeatedly forced back.

“Screeech…”

A miserable shriek echoed. The firebird spat out a ball-sized object with color like that of a red rose. The object shot straight towards the humanoid.

“Inner core! The fire kite is betting its life on this!” Luo Kun exclaimed. As for Fatty, he watched the fight without blinking.

The bird’s inner core rotated at an incredible velocity. Covered in dense magical runes and patches of flaring fire, it streaked like a falling star at the flaming humanoid.

Whoosh! A long spear appeared in the humanoid’s hand. The monster threw it forward, not a trace of fear could be seen even though its opponent was risking its life for this fight.

Boom!

When the spear struck the core, it exploded into flickering fire sparks and dispersed.

Seeing its spear burst, the humanoid remained expressionless. Its hand waved, and another spear materialized, which was then hurled at the core again.

After seven spears had been thrown, the firebird’s inner core lost a great deal of energy, but it still managed to approach the humanoid.

“Fire Guard!”

The red figure shouted loudly. Without any measure to dodge, it deployed a defensive fire skill.

Layer upon layer of fire blazed up at its feet, forming a fire lotus over three meters in diameter. The monster stood at the center of the lotus as it welcomed the inner core.

BOOM!

A thunderous explosion quaked the entire town as the core rammed head-on at the fire lotus. The layers of petals burst, and the lotus itself swayed on the verge of collapse.

Pang!

The fire lotus finally crumbled. At this moment, the humanoid also spat out a small inner core.

Boom!

The two cores met. While the Mutated Fire Kite’s core was bigger, it obviously contained less power than the humanoid’s core. Upon collision, the big core was continuously forced back, the magical runes on it slightly splintered.

“Screeech…”

The firebird let out a tragic scream. Its core was thoroughly defeated, emitting cracking sounds. The flames on the core fizzled out, and the magical runes disintegrated as it was deflected to where it came from. The Mutated Fire Kite swallowed back the core, its body shuddering nonstop and was knocked back several dozen meters by the core’s momentum.

“Scram!” The humanoid shouted. It ignored the kite and raced towards the fiery red crystal.

“Barrier down,” Luo Kun coldly ordered.

“General?” an officer was confused.

“Humph! The thing that our Iron Chain Town guards isn’t so easy to take away.”

The white barrier slowly disappeared. The Magic Crystal Cannon once again shone beautifully as it aimed at the humanoid.

After forcing away the firebird, the humanoid approached the crystal and was about to pick it up, when it suddenly sensed danger from behind.

“Magic Crystal Cannon!” The monster shrilly shrieked. Forgetting about the crystal, its entire body transformed into a flame and flew off, high and low, left and right, rendering the cannon unable to pin it down.

“Damn it!” Luo Kun jumped off the wall. Raising his long saber, he hacked at the flame.

“This thing is useless to you. Why are you hindering me?” The monster didn’t recklessly fight back and kept flying around in zig-zags, afraid to be targeted by the cannon.

“Useless or not, it still belongs to our Iron Chain Town. You want to take it away? Then you’ll have to ask if we’ll agree!” Luo Kun’s blade fell with a battle cry, forcing the humanoid further away from the crystal.

“I don’t want to fight you guys, don’t force me!” the humanoid angrily said.

“Heh, then I’ll just force you and see.” Luo Kun strode forth, wanting to retrieve the crystal.

After being driven back by the humanoid, the Mutated Fire Kite only remained where it was and weakly flapped its wings instead of joining the scramble for the crystal; it was unknown whether it was too heavily injured or had just simply given up.

“Thunderfire Power Bomb, explode!” Seeing Luo Kun near the crystal, the humanoid couldn’t stand still and threw a bunch of Thunderfire Power Bombs.

“Thunderfire Power Bomb? Could it be West?” Fatty’s jaw nearly dropped.

“No, this is not him. He shouldn’t be this strong… probably.” Fatty quickly shook his head. While West was powerful, he wasn't that powerful to fight an expert at the peak of the 8th class enhancement.

A string of ten Thunderfire Power Bombs exploded with a resounding force that shook the heavens and earth, even the town walls quaked violently. Luo Kun hastily retreated to avoid this terrifying force.

Zoom! The second the bombs exploded, the Mutated Fire Kite suddenly made its move. It endured the blast to pounce towards the fiery red crystal.
