Chapter 478 Misled IV (2/2)

The Chairman could no longer stay calm. Soon, his devoted subordinates ran over and supported him as they retreated. At this moment, the various representatives had stood up and decided to leave. Even though they were in the Legendary Stage, they didn't need to be buried alive to prove how formidable they were.

”—!” Suddenly, the tremor on the ground got stronger. Then, a massive, pitch-black hole tore apart the smooth, solid floor. In a blink of an eye, black flames erupted from within and it surged upwards violently which formed firewalls that blocked everyone's escape.

”What's this?” Corina stared in disbelief. As an Elf, she realized that the earthquake this time wasn't ordinary. Also, as the closest race to nature and a powerful being in the Legendary Stage, Corina had a strange sensation since the start of this earthquake. In spite of the scorching black flames, there was no heat at all. Instead, the flames were filled with a malicious chilliness that left her shuddering as she retreated.

”Hmph.” Apart from Corina, even the Vampire who was always smiling frowned. As an Undead that had devoted his soul to darkness, Di had also sensed the hidden ice-coldness in the flames. This was also strange for an Undead Creature in the Legendary Stage.

”Everyone be careful. There's something strange about the flames!” An elderly man clad in a silver robe lifted his staff. He stared at the flames before him and took two steps back as he chanted softly. Soon, a defensive barrier appeared and shrouded him entirely. Then, the elderly man raised his arms and began chanting another spell immediately…

”Be careful!” Someone yelled with a sharp voice as the surging flames launched towards the elderly man as if a demonic mouth. No, this description wasn't too accurate because as the flames struck the elderly man, the silverish defensive barrier above him deflected it and formed a translucent ball that protected him entirely. But this was only temporary.

Kacha. The elderly man's defensive barrier shattered and the pitch-black flames ignited frantically as though the barrier was a ball of gasoline. He shrieked painfully as the flames devoured every inch of his body which frightened the spectators. They exchanged looks and retreated farther away from the flames. After all, this elderly man in the silver robe was a well-known figure and a formidable Mage. Everyone expected him to cast a powerful defense spell and yet, it was broken just like that?

What exactly is that?

A black figure leaped down from above and pounced into the flames. Then, a gale erupted from within the flames and Rhode rolled out from the flames with the elderly man. The Elderly Mage was extremely pale but strangely enough, his silver robe had no signs of burning. However, his painful expression was as though he had just been tortured in the depths of hell.

Damn it.

Rhode gritted his teeth and scanned the surroundings. He couldn't care less even if his identity was exposed. ”Everyone, be careful. This is the Chaos Flame!”

”!” Almost everyone present shrieked in horror while Di's expression sunk. He stuck close to the wall and moved along to draw a distance away from the black flames carefully without maintaining his usual elegant demeanor. Meanwhile, Corina, as though she had lost the nimbleness as an Elf, shifted her body carefully like she was facing a viper. Even the carefree Dwarf who disregarded the flames had placed his huge ax before him as a shield.

Chaos Flame.

Although it could be said that no one had seen it before, it was impossible that no one hadn't heard of its presence. The Chaos Flame was the pinnacle of the Chaos Forcefield and was the natural enemy of all 'Order' and 'Rules'. The Chaos Flame devoured 'Order' as its fuel to destroy this world. All the 'Order' and 'Rules' were food for them and this was why everyone was this cautious. They were in the Legendary Stage and possessed their own elementalization. However, this also meant that they had become a part of the 'Rules'.

These powerful beings in the Legendary Stage were perfected fuels that had been purified for the Chaos Flame.

Damn it!

The earthquake continued to wreak havoc and the crevice became larger and larger. Everyone acted cautiously after witnessing the guards that tried to escape devoured by the flames mercilessly. However, this wasn't the worst imaginable scenario for Rhode. His heart sank to the bottom of his heart as he finally realized what exactly was sealed underneath Soraka Mountain.

It was the everlasting presence that lived alongside chaos and destroyed everything.

The Devil of Devils.

The enemy of all Order.

An aberration that came from only the bottomless abyss.

The Duke Fiend.
