Chapter 233 The Black Flames (1/2)
The living watched with fearful eyes as the terrible scene unfolded into something akin to death itself. The scent of sulfur assailed their nostrils as fire spread out, burning everything along its path.
In the midst of the heat, deep, bloody eyes glowed behind the gray curtain of smog. It was as if hell had come to the land of the living, and the mortals who bore witness cowered in its presence.
Amid the hundred venomous beasts that screamed violently, a ringing silence came across everyone's ears. All people trembled at this display of power.
Buzz, buzz! It was at this moment that a strong urge throbbed within Ricky. The erratic change had incited a kind of hunger in the Chaotic Fire Zone. He could feel its desire to absorb the black plague.
'Kristen's blood eyes are powerful, ' he thought to himself. 'It would be enough to summon energy as powerful as the peculiar fire and sacred fire.' Ricky closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The outbreak of this black plague was by nature more powerful than the three kinds of fire energy he held in his body as Kristen was of a higher rank than him. Through the Chaotic Fire Zone, Ricky had a strong feeling that the black flames would never disappear unless Kristen controlled it with her blood eyes.
As this thought came over him, Ricky's eyes were drawn to the trail of fire. It was mercilessly burning not only animals, but also the earth in the Black Marsh.
Earth, as they all knew, could not be burnt by any sacred fire. But the scene that Ricky was witnessing with his very eyes defied this very fact. He kept his eyes on the fire, as if to make sure he was not seeing an illusion. And there it was. The Earth burned into a crisp until it disappeared at the touch of the black flames.
'What fire is this!?' Ricky asked in his head. He had never seen anything like it.
The air crackled and the tongues of black fire spread even further.
It had not been long, but the flames had already burned nearly a hundred beasts to death. And as if that wasn't enough, it continued to incinerate bodies until everything had been reduced to ash.
The black flames gathered around Kristen, changing configuration slowly.
”Die!” Rattus stood in shock at the scene. Kristen turned to him, her eyes filled with a murderous glint. At this moment, the black flames coiled and curved until it had formed into the outline of an eye.
