Fire Mage

Chapter 367: Confrontation

Meanwhile, Charles retracted his gaze from Scarlet and waited patiently.

First, Scarlet and Elder Aiden went to the nearby Royal Academy, gathered a selected group of 15 young men and women, and brought them out of the city.

Charles also informed his men and told them to join Scarlet's group.

Not only that, but he also told Nora to accompany that group and even gave her a mission.

Her mission was to delay the group's journey as long as possible!

On the other hand, Elder Otto and others went on their own and started their preparation.

When Scarlet and others left the city, Elder Otto and others moved to the other side of the Royal District and soon arrived near a metallic wall.

It was a wall that separated the Sacred Cathedral from the rest of the city and was also known for being the most sacred place.

The only ones who were allowed to enter inside were Sacred Humans and Sacred Knights.

So, the sudden arrival of 8 Elderly looking Paragons startled the Templar Knights, who stood at the entrance gate.

The Head Knight looked at them deeply, soon recognized Elder Otto, and broke into cold sweats.

'What the hell is he doing here?' He cursed at his rotten luck.

'Even though High Priest said some Paragons might come and provoke us… Isn't this too much?'

'Why did things turn out like this?' He wiped the sweats on his forehead and smiled bitterly.

Then, he turned his gaze towards the nearby Knight and gestured him to sound the alarm.

At the same time, he also shifted his gaze towards the other Elders and soon widened his eyes in disbelief.

'F*ck! All of them are main patriarchs of Head Families!' He subconsciously moved his hand towards the sword hilt and shouted.

"Elder Otto of Estger Household, this is a restricted area! Only Sacred Humans are allowed to walk in."

Upon hearing his words, a ridiculing smile appeared on the Elders' faces.

Meanwhile, Elder Otto let out a chuckle and ordered.

"Move aside, kid. I've no time to quarrel with a fool."

'Fool?'

Anger appeared on the Head Knight's face.

At that moment, his comrades also unsheathed their swords and pointed them towards Elders' direction.

But before they could even think, a tall man in his late 60s suddenly took a step forward and raised his hand.

He was Elder Rhett and also known for being extremely cruel during combat.

The next instant, the concrete-like ground began to crack and soon sent out multiple streaks of lavas!

A second later, all those lava streaks coiled around the Templar Knights' legs and started burning them.

The only one who managed to react in time was the Head Knight.

Still, he wasn't powerful enough to block all the lava streaks.

Before he could understand the situation, two crimson lava streaks came out from the cracked areas and slithered around his legs.

He tried to cut the lava streaks, but his attempt went futile.

On the other hand, Rhett curled his lips upward and moved his forefinger.

A second later, a 3-meter tall broadsword made of pure lava suddenly appeared above his head and slashed from the sky.

The next instant, his body was split into two!

Soon, screams and cries of men echoed at the entrance, followed by dead silence.

More than 30 dead bodies with severe burn marks lay motionlessly on the ground.

Although most of Templar Knights had the strength of Rank-4 Warlocks, they were nothing but chickens in front of the Elders' true might.

After clearing the entrance, Elder Otto waved his hand, directly melted the metallic gate with his pure elemental power, and walked in.

As the group stepped onto the other side, a beautiful sight welcomed them.

A 400-meter tall dome-shaped building stood in front of the black tower and seemed to be guarding it against any outsiders' invasion.

Some small buildings also appeared around the dome-shaped building and were encircled by another stone wall.

As Elder Otto looked at the majestic building, he suddenly sensed a unique power from the surroundings and frowned.

"Get ready to use the scroll, Preston." He said in a gloomy tone and looked at the surrounding areas.

At that moment, more than 100 golden-armored Templar Knights came from different directions and blocked the Elders from moving further.

There were also tens of different color-robed men who came after the Templar Knights and held wooden staffs in their hands.

But unlike the normal Red Humans and Paragons, their skin appeared brighter, and their ears, nose, and face looked sharper.

They were High Priests, Bishops, and higher officials of the Sacred Temple.

"Sacred Humans!" Another Elder named Preston said in an icy tone and released his full wisdom power.

Simultaneously, he took out a reddish scroll and a unique fist-sized blue stone from his void ring and recited a chant in a strange language.

While chanting, he opened the reddish scroll, tossed the bluestone into it, and then muttered.

"Begin."

A moment later, a magic flame wave appeared out of nowhere and spread in all directions.

Soon, he suddenly pointed his finger at the red sky and spoke in a cold tone.

"He is over there! Oh no! He is chanting!"

Upon hearing his words, Elder Otto, Elder Rhett, and other Elders released their wisdom power and shot towards the sky at an unimaginable speed.

They soon reached more than 2000 meters up in the sky and saw a middle-aged Red Human hovering in the air.

He had a square face, amber eyes, a sharp nose, and thin eyebrows.

But what made the Elders pause in surprise was a strange mark on Adur's chest.

At that moment, they saw an 'X' mark made of pure black flame on his chest area, and it seemed to be invading his body.

Meanwhile, some mysterious divine light came out from Adur's shoulders and continuously burned the black fire!

Anyone could tell that this black flame was a dangerous thing!

Upon seeing his miserable statue, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

Adur may have weakened during the past twenty years. But, he was still a man who once crushed the Paragon Elders and almost annihilated them.

'The new champion is not to be messed with.' All of them thought at the same time.

At that moment, Adur also noticed their arrival, but he didn't stop his chanting.

Instead, he created a force-field around his body and continued to chant faster.

On the other hand, Elder Otto and other Elders didn't waste their time and attacked him from all directions.

What's more shocking was that each of them attacked him with Rank-4 and Rank-5 bloodline spells!

Within a few seconds, rays of fires, Fire Storms, Solar Blast, Inferno Ray, Chaos Breath, and many other powerful spells collided against the force field!`

Soon, crimson fire enveloped the whole sky!

As Adur and Elders started their battle, chaotic flame balls, lava balls, and even ember rocks fell from the sky like rainfall and destroyed the houses.

If the Sacred Temple members didn't activate the defensive formation in time, the whole city might have turned into a Hell.
