Infinite Realm

Chapter 359 - 353 : Goddess Of Flames



As Xue Yan kept walking forward, the attention of the other two Guardian Golems was inevitably drawn towards her. The Guardian Golems were designated with the role of watching over the Exit gate of the 9th floor. Xue Yan\'s current actions were pretty much the same as challenging their authority and this could not be tolerated.

"Grawwr!"

The 3 Guardian Golems simultaneously roared before dashing towards her. Even though the monsters were each at a height of 3 metres, their speed was already surpassing that of an Olympian sprint runner by far.

*Bang*

With a loud stomp, almost like an explosion, the 3 Golems had darted towards Xue Yan like Greyhounds in a dog race.

Their imposing momentum acted to also weaken their opponent\'s fighting will, but against Xue Yan, this move was nothing more than a parlor trick.

Walking forward with calm yet steady steps, ignoring the rumbling of the ground as well as the roars of her opponent, Xue Yan pointed her staff towards the 3 Guardian Golems in front as her lips moved.

"Flames born from the depths of the earth. The sea turns to mist and the land to liquid. The anger of the monarch can not be held back. The will of the monarch is unstoppable...[Blazing Fury]."

Just as the incantations were done, the Guardian Golems were already within 5 metres of her. At this distance, the Guardian Golems were already capable of attacking Xue Yan and even if she was two levels ahead of them, receiving the full brunt of their attack wouldn\'t sit well with her and she would lose quite a lot of HP too. Even if she was level 11, Xue Yan was still a mage and that meant that her defensive ability was beneath that of the other classes.

Though he knew that she wasn\'t stupid and also has eyes, Lu Zhen wanted to alert her of the danger that was close when suddenly, he was stunned to silence by the next series of events.

From the tip of Xue Yan\'s staff, a sea of brilliant orange fire burst forth like water from a leaking dam. With the appearance of the flames, the entire space of 10 metres around Xue Yan experienced a sharp increase in temperature. Even the area outside of this range still saw a change in temperature.

The large billow of flames rushed towards the 3 Guardian Golems that were just a few away from Xue Yan, drowning them in a sea of orange. The area of 5 metres in a cone-shaped view from Xue Yan\'s perspective was covered in the stunning flames in full capacity but from one metre out, the flames began to dissipate.

[Critical Hit]

-1088 (???/??? ???)

[Critical Hit]

-990 (???/??? ???)

[Critical Hit]

-989 (???/??? ???)

Just a second later, the flames had dissipated, almost as if they were never there. That is until one takes a glance at the floor.

Sthhh.

Lu Zhen, Fudo, Seiichi, Katsuo, and Yato all sucked in a fresh breath of cold air as they glanced at the floor ahead of them. Even Sato was a bit surprised despite knowing that Xue Yan\'s strength had experienced massive improvements.

The ground that was blanketed in the orange sea had turned black, pitch black. What was even more astonishing was the fact that amidst that charcoal-like floor, there were a few patches of orange. These orange patches were lava ponds formed from the exposure of the ground to intense heat. Smoke was still oozing from the floor as the ground was slowly cooling down, showing how hot the flames must have been.

As for the original targets of the attack, their previous amber-colored \'skin\' had turned black as they had fallen to their knees due to the intense heat. One of them had already collapsed to black rubble which got scattered on the floor.

It was at this moment that the other 6 players on standby recalled the damage values that were displayed earlier. They were originally too focused on the attack as it was quite grand and eye-catching, but the pitiful states of the Guardian Golems brought them back to their senses.

Stttthhhh.

Another round of sucking in cold, eh, it should be hot air, yes. Another round of sucking in hot air took place as they were all shocked to stupor. This time around, the shock was too heavy. Ignoring the part where Xue Yan had pulled off 3 consecutive critical hits with one attack, the damage caused by her attack was behind anything they had seen.

With just one move, Xue Yan had killed off one Guardian Golem and brought the rest down to their knees, to the point that they were capable of resisting any further attacks and could even be finished by a random level 3 player in one hit. Yes, a level 3 player. Even though Guardian Golems usually had a very high passive defence against physical attacks, Xue Yan\'s attack had dealt so much damage to them that their defence was turned to nothing. Even the original level difference pressure they could enact on a low levelled player was messed up. As a result, even a level 0 player could finish them off at this moment.

"Damn. She\'s one hell of a chick." Yato said with fervor.

He was still stuck in the memory of Xue Yan\'s attacks that he couldn\'t slow down his heart\'s speed.

"I need to become a level 10 player." Fudo suddenly had the urge to cry.

At the start, Fudo was the one with the highest damage dealing capacity in the team before Sato managed to catch up to him as the two became the highest levelled players of IR. Sato then went on to become more capable than he was in damage dealing. Before Fudo could recover from this blow, Sato and Xue Yan had completed the Main Trials and experienced a sharp increase in strength. Sato was now level 15, which was far from his reach, while Xue Yan became level 11. Fudo still believed that after the Kobold King was dealt with, he would be able to regain his place as first, eh, rather it should be the second-highest damage dealer in the squad now. But seeing this now, Fudo wasn\'t so sure that it was still possible.

Xue Yan\'s strength increase wasn\'t just in quantity; as regards to level, but also in quality. Her fire affinity had risen to become the highest among the crew and even her equipment was beyond what Fudo currently had. Her control was even more exquisite as the spot she stood on was unharmed be it by the flames or the extreme temperature. That spot looked to be just as it was before, perfectly normal.

At this moment, standing on that perfectly okay spot with a lake of lava and a swathe of scorched land in front of her, Xue Yan looked like the incarnation of the goddess of flames.
