The earth is heating up dramatically.

Countless critters sleeping in the depths of the Black Forest suddenly woke up from their hibernation, saw the fire-breathing sun wheel in the sky, and fled in panic.

The surging heat swept by, the leaves spontaneously combusted in the heat, and the countless giant trees that towered over the Black Forest turned into towering torches in the flames.

And the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, like a tyrant with dark red eyes, poured out its fury on the earth, trying to evaporate every drop of water from the air.

This corona, which covers a quarter of the Black Forest beneath his feet, is Rudis's masterpiece.

With the staff wielded in the hand of the dragon sorcerer, the fire became more and more fierce, and countless fiery snakes leaped through the forest, turning into a raging sea of flames, surging towards the depths of the central mountain range.

Looking down from above, the orange-red firelight continued to advance through the Black Forest, spreading like red dye dripping onto the pitch-black canvas.

This mysterious northern jungle is now experiencing an unprecedented catastrophe.

In the sea of fire that engulfed everything, a figure suddenly rushed out, and swept towards the main peak of the --- Central Mountain Range at the end of the forest sea at an extremely fast speed.

Constantine was embarrassed to bounce off the sparks that had stuck to his black robe, and there were multiple burnt marks on the robe.

Looking back, Constantine gasped, only to see the trees behind him blazing, faintly hearing the wails of animals before they were engulfed in flames, and the air was blurred by the rolling heat.

The power of the dragon vein warlock's fire magic far exceeded his imagination, and the [Corona] above his head almost burned most of the Black Forest, and there was no sign of stopping.

How did Caulfield get this pervert from that dragon vein family?

However, the effect of this large-scale fire spell was indeed immediate, Constantine was still forced to show his body, and if he stayed in the Black Forest, even if Constantine could withstand the magic flames, he would eventually suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen.

As soon as he drilled out of the sea of fire, Constantine sensed a pinprick pain in his head, and an invisible spiritual force crossed a thousand kilometers away and firmly locked on himself, and the source was Rudis.

Without any idea of fighting, Constantine stepped on it without hesitation, pulled out an afterimage from his body, and ran towards the main peak of the majestic Central Mountain Range in his field of vision like lightning,

Rudis frowned and extinguished the flame in his hand, "He went over to the main peak of the Central Mountain Range. ”

"Suicide, there is a flat land near the main peak, there is no room to hide at all, and he will only become our target when the time comes. ”

Mark withdrew his Eagle Eye Technique and snorted coldly, "Besides, Lord Marquis and the Ice Knights are already about to arrive, and at the foot of the mountain peak is the burial place of that kid, he has spent so much effort, at most he will live for half a day." ”

In Mark's view, Constantine's approach undoubtedly blocked the possibility of his escape in hiding.

"Does he want to jump off a cliff before he dies and give himself a magnificent way to die?" Rudis was also puzzled, and could only show a playful smile.

Whether in the eyes of Mark or Rudis, Constantine has fallen into a dead end, and can only fight the trapped beast.

"According to the Marquis's wishes, let's burn all the forests in this area as soon as possible, and don't give that kid room to hide. Mark urged, raising his hand and preparing for the fire magic.

However, at this moment, from the side of the Black Forest, a cold wave of magic rose.

The ice-blue light shot straight into the sky, freezing the burning sun wheel, and the heat that permeated the forest suddenly dissipated, turning into a cloud and disappearing without a trace.

Mark's expression froze, "What a strong ice elemental power, who is it?"

The person who can crack the magic of one Crown Mage can only be another Crown Mage.

It's just that crown-level mages are extremely rare in the entire continent, and three crown mages appeared in the central mountain range in one breath today, which is shocking enough, I didn't expect there to be a fourth.

What surprised Mark even more was that this peer dared to stand on the opposite side of the Dragon Lance Dynasty.

Rudis knew the answer, but he just glanced faintly at a certain cliff in the distance, and did not speak.

However, as a mage with the responsibility of hunting, Mark could not be as detached as Rudis, who was born in the Dragon Vein family, and in the face of unexpected situations, he quickly chanted a spell and gathered an astonishing number of fire elements.

A viscous cloud of fire floated over the central mountain range, spreading slowly like a scarlet liquid from a crushed berry until it covered a radius of hundreds of meters around it.

In the fire clouds, spheres formed by high-density fire elements kept jumping.

[Meteor Shower], an elemental magic that was once listed as a forbidden spell in the Middle Ages.

"Honorable Ice and Snow Archmage, you and I are both crown-level spellcasters, why do you want to hide like a mouse, if you have the courage, can you show up and fight me head-on?"

Mark's voice spread out in all directions with the help of an amplification spell, revealing the bearing and majesty of the crown mage.

Rudis shook his head secretly, holding the staff and quietly flying into the distance, while he couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking that he could provoke an idiot like a Blizzard mage head-on, only a heartless guy like Mark could do it.

Even the powerful Dragon Vein Warlock was reluctant to get involved in this contest between ice and fire.

In response to Mark's invitation to fight, it was a storm of ice and snow that rose from the ground.

Countless thick clouds accumulated on the main peak of the Central Mountain Range, on the top of the high mountain thousands of miles away, the cold wind was blowing, and countless ice elements followed the ancient elemental laws to join this mighty battle of ice and fire.

Snowflakes danced like elves, swept over the mountains and forests, turning into a huge frost tornado that stretched across the heavens and the earth, roaring towards the scorching clouds of fire that occupied the corners of the mountain sky.

Looking at the snow clouds with a diameter of a full kilometer, Mark's face suddenly became extremely invisible, his fingers trembled, and he almost couldn't control the meteor rain above his head.

Being able to gather such a terrifying ice element proves that the magic and attainments of that ice mage are far above him, at least a senior crown mage, maybe he is already close to the level of an ice mage.

The crown mages are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the higher the ranks, the more obvious the gap becomes, Mark's magic is definitely not outstanding among the crown mages, barely reaching the ordinary level, only a little stronger than the entry-level crown mages.

But this alone means that under normal spellcasting, Mark will have several more spell slots than the entry-level Crown Mage, and it is self-evident what one more spell slot means in a magic duel.

And now, he wants to use his not very proficient [Meteor Fire Shower] to fight against an ice mage whose strength is far above his own, and the opponent is still using the best signature spell.

The result can be figured out with one toe.

Mark couldn't help but look at Rudis, hoping that the dragon warlock would lend a helping hand at a critical moment, only to find that the elders of the Uther family had already slipped away first, leaving Mark alone in the cold wind.

In desperation, Mark could only bite the bullet and go up by himself.

The fire clouds dispersed, and countless fire meteors streaked out slender tail flames, colliding head-on with the howling blizzard.

The sky exploded with a halo of light that illuminated the entire mountain range, and the red and blue hues blurred with the sky as a canvas.

The ice and snow quickly engulfed the fire meteor, enough to flank the frozen limbs towards Mark, who fled in panic.

Caulfield, who was leading the Ice Knights forward, raised his head, looked at the cold snow clouds that swept most of the sky, and snorted coldly, "Brillouin's courage is not small, he actually rushed over at this time. ”

Although it was a little surprising how Brillouin was able to learn about his movements, Caulfield didn't bother to consider these details.

Since you're here, don't go.

A grim smile appeared on Caulfield's face, and in the next moment, the rune armor on the dragon knight's body suddenly shattered, and the alchemy armor worth ten thousand gold disintegrated into a wreckage.

An unprecedented aura poured out of Caulfield's body.

In the sky, a mighty dragon roar sounded, as if a silver dragon was roaring.

As if he was intimidated by the dragon's might, the speed at which the blizzard closed suddenly slowed down.

This dragon roar relieved Mark, who was besieged by a blizzard, and Mark, who was desperate to die, was refreshed, and then desperately cast countless protective magic, and his body was wrapped in a streamer and rushed out of the cold and biting snow clouds, falling into the Black Forest below.

However, after this battle, Mark's magic power has been exhausted, and he can no longer participate in the next battle.

On the cliff in the distance, Brillouin's face turned slightly pale and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

He gently wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth with his white robe, and looked indifferently at the front of the cliff.

In the old man's sight, Rudis floated on the cliff with a staff in his hand, calmly gazing at Brillouin below.

10,000 meters away in the Black Forest.

Caulfield waved his sword and pointed at it, his voice majestic, "All members, attack the main peak of the Central Mountain Range, before dawn, I will get Constantine's head, and if any of you can do it, I will reward him with a whole piece of knight's land." ”

Feeling the surging dragon power on Caulfield's body, and the heart-warming promise echoing in his ears, the Ice Knights and Silver Dragon Samurai were demoralized, and their blades glowing with cold light were raised high, approaching the main peak.

Although one of their crown mages died and one of them left the game, this did not affect the confidence of the dragon lance soldiers in the slightest.

With Caulfield here, they firmly believe that their side will be invincible, not to mention that the opponent is just a teenager, even if they are facing the Golden Iris Knights of the Holy Empire, as long as the Marquis gives an order, the Ice Knights will charge without hesitation.

The murderous aura was like a tide, the icy iron flow ran over the Black Forest, which had been silent for hundreds of years, and the knights trampled on the embers of fire and the scorched earth, rushing towards the main peak, and the cruel killing intent flowing from their eyes seemed to make the peaks in their vision tremble.

A silver line of water, in the gradually dull sky, approached the main peak of the mountain range.

There, it will be a battlefield of death.

The fate of countless people will be decided on this coming night.
