The legendary warrior novel Chapter 233

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.

Immediately, the eye of fire shot a black flame arrow that flew straight to Rattus' direction.

Sensing danger, Rattus recovered from his trance brought about by the pervasive smell of death and countered the attack. With a ferocious look, he turned to Kristen and screamed, "This little trick of yours is nothing but fraud. You really think you can subdue a beast tamer with your flimsy fire? You have a long way to go, little girl." The black flames had burned nearly a hundred fierce beasts to death at once, and Rattus was also agitated. He calmed himself with the thought that it was only due to the lack of preparation. The flames had caught them by surprise. So the beasts had no time to escape.

But all this convincing Rattus told himself did not amount to much. He did not have the Chaotic Fire Zone like Ricky. It was not possible for him feel the real power of the black flames. This ignorance was his weakness.

Rattus roared again.

Immediately, the beasts started to gather once again. They charged straight to Kristen's direction.

"Rattus is no fool. He also fights with his head. He is going straight for Kristen. Once the source of all this power is defeated, the energy of the flames will also be gone," Ricky murmured, watching the two go against each other. "He may also know that Kristen can't control the flames for long. The blood eyes are already bleeding from the exertion."

Turning to Tyson, he said quickly, "Tyson! Let us attack those beasts and distract them. That should buy Kristen enough time to concentrate on Rattus." Tyson nodded at his suggestion.

"Alright!" he answered. He turned to the beasts and prepared to attack.

But before they could commence the plan, the situation changed once again. They saw the black arrows of flame multiply and fly straight to the beasts. Ricky and Tyson did not move. They were confused about what was happening.

With lightning speed, the arrows changed their trajectory, passing through the space between the snarling beasts and hitting Rattus directly. Ricky and Tyson were almost unable to follow the arrows with their eyes until they saw it land on Rattus.
