The battle in front of him resembled an arcade game from his past life.
However, he was the one playing the role of the villain.
The lava shield was two meters tall, one meter wide and half a meter thick. It was made up of countless flaming lava stones. Scarlet lava was still flowing out of the cracks on the shield.
The knights leapt into the air and swung the rune swords in their hands with all their might. Colorful battle techniques struck the lava shield with ear-piercing whistles, shattering it and splashing lava everywhere.
Since there weren't many ice shards around Grimm's flame demon form, all the knights just dashed past him, trying their best to land their most powerful attacks on him.
Grimm, on the other hand, had turned into a huge and clumsy lava giant. He used the lava shield to block the enemy's attacks, his hands were covered in terrifying flames, and his 5 meter long flaming whip was condensed from pure elemental flames. He used fire spells with terrifying elemental fluctuations to hit every fly that appeared in front of him.
Some of the knights relied on their nimble bodies to dodge Grimm's terrifying attacks. However, there were always some who couldn't dodge fast enough. Faced with the flaming whip, they could only tighten their bodies and use their energy shield to block the attack.
The knights had an average of 14 points of physical strength. When faced with Grimm's 20 points of strength after transforming into a flame demon, they would turn into angry birds and be sent flying.
However, the biggest problem for the knights was not Grimm's clumsy physical attacks, but the Flame Barrier that was everywhere.
Ever since he had advanced to become a Fire Wizard, he had completed the first steps of elemental conversion. Now that he had a body of fire, Grimm had successfully mastered the Flame Barrier. It was a domain-type fire elemental spell!
When Grimm raised the Flame Barrier with a roar, a light red elemental barrier enveloped an area of 100 meters around him. Within this area, everything began to burn!
The earth was burning, the plants were burning, and even the sky was burning … …
Anyone who broke into Grimm's Flame Barrier would suffer a terrifying 13 degrees of fire damage per second. This level of energy was equivalent to the offensive spells he cast when he was a beginner apprentice!
There was a pool of lava below him, Grimm's terrifying attacks above him, and his body was constantly suffering from fire damage … …
Only the knights who had basic elemental resistance could withstand such a harsh combat environment. If it were the demon hunters, Grimm wouldn't even need to attack. Just the elemental damage from the Flame Barrier alone would be enough to burn most of the enemies to death.
In the hundreds of years of purging evildoers, the spell-breaking knights had fought countless wizard-level spellcasters. However, in terms of difficulty in combat and spellcasting, even ten evil beings combined would not be able to compare to this terrifying fire man!
The Magic-breaking Knights rode on their magic colts and flew across the ice shards. From time to time, they would attack Grimm's Lava Shield with all their might. In the blink of an eye, two of the three Lava Shields had been destroyed, and the remaining one was already riddled with scars and wouldn't last much longer.
Two of the nine Magic-breaking Knights were also hit by Grimm's melee attacks. They screamed in pain as they flew out of the lava pool, while their demonic colts tumbled into the lava.
The pool of lava below Grimm was dark red and did not look eye-catching, but it was filled with terrifying lava that was half-melted. As soon as the magic colts fell into the lava, their skin and flesh began to emit thick black smoke. The sizzling sound of their skin and flesh being burned was unbearable.
The magic colts did not even have the time to raise their necks and neigh before they were swallowed by the rolling lava. Only a few bubbles were left on the surface of the viscous dark red liquid.
There were many demon hunters on the shore who endured the burning of the Flame Barrier and desperately shot frost arrows into the lava pool. They were trying their best to create floating ice crystals for the knights to stand on. After three or four rounds of arrows, they quickly retreated out of the range of the light red barrier. However, in just a short period of time, their exposed skin was already covered with bloody blisters, and a single touch would cause a heart-wrenching pain.
If they were in such a state even though they were on the periphery, the knights around Grimm were suffering ten times more from the Flame Barrier.
The two knights who were knocked out of the battle were indeed brave. They switched to the magic colts of the demon hunters and charged into the lava pool again.
Since the beginning of the battle, Grimm had only suffered some insignificant physical damage due to the protection of his layers of Flame Elemental defensive spells. Now that most of his defensive spells were about to be destroyed, he finally retreated and was ready to switch places with the Lord of the Flames.
This was actually the most common scene in a battle between a spellcaster and a melee combatant!
With the protection of defensive spells, the spellcaster could inflict extreme elemental damage to the opponent without suffering any damage. However, once their defenses were broken, the spellcaster would be instantly killed by the opponent's lightning-fast attacks if they were to engage in close combat.
Therefore, as soon as he saw that the situation wasn't good, Grimm sent out two terrifying Flame Shockwaves in a row to drive away the Magic-breaking Knights around him. He then began to retreat with large strides, trying to move to the center of the lava pool.
At this moment, Niyingte, who had been preparing for a long time, would not allow him to escape. He once again rode on his magic colt, trampling on the floating ice crystals as he charged towards Grimm.
Grimm laughed coldly and waved the Flame Scepter in his left hand. Three to four pillars of lava rose from the lava pool and intersected to block Niyingte's path.
Niyingte, on the other hand, seemed to have given up on any path of retreat. Not only was he not forced to retreat, but he also leaped up on his magic colt and leaped over the pillars of lava that shot into the sky.
He could leap over, but the magic colt couldn't.
Thus, accompanied by an extremely shrill and wild neigh, the demonic colt charged head-on into the lava pillar. Its entire body was instantly drenched in the corrosive lava that cut through its skin and corroded its bones. The cries of the magic colt came to an abrupt end. Scattered bits of skin, skin, and bones tumbled into the pool of lava.
In the blink of an eye, even the last trace of its existence disappeared!
Grimm did not have the time to pay attention to the tragic death of a magic colt. His attention was completely attracted by the figure leaping over him.
What, this Niyingte wants to fight me one on one? A hero challenging a great demon king?
Grimm stopped retreating. His empty right hand instantly turned into a terrifying hand that was wreathed in black smoke and steaming flames, grabbing towards Niyingte.
Niyingte could naturally resist the damage from the Flame Barrier with his own magic resistance. However, the terrifying flames coming from Grimm's body had a temperature of more than 3000 degrees, which was equivalent to 110 degrees of fire elemental damage. Not to mention a person, even an iron pillar would be melted into a puddle of hot wax in less than five seconds if it was grabbed by Grimm's flaming hand.
However, before the flaming hand could close, a dazzling azure ice blade shot out and struck Grimm's broad chest that had lost its elemental protection.
Grimm raised his head and let out a painful roar that shook the entire forest.
"Niyingte, I want your life!"
After activating Evil Vanquishing Slash at such a close distance, Niyingte should have fallen into the lava pool by now. However, he had come prepared and threw out a strange metal claw that stabbed into Grimm's arm. Using the claw as leverage, Niyingte leapt into the air once more.
Grimm roared loudly and fiercely pounded his chest with both hands. The surging flames in his Fiery Demon Body spewed out a terrifyingly hot stream of flames through the cracks on the surface of his body.
This kind of indiscriminate, full-range attack was the most terrifying!
Magic-breaker Knights were adept at fighting attacks with attacks, using their strength to break through the opponent's single-target elemental attacks. However, facing this unreasonable 'full-range attack', Niyingte could only curl up behind the one-meter energy shield with a pale expression and endure the wave of flames.
At this moment, no matter how rich Niyingte's battle experience was, he could only brace himself and endure the enemy's attack first.
A muffled sound rang out.
Niyingte was like a small boat tossed up and down in a raging storm as he was pushed far away by the violent shockwaves and terrifying flames. The metal claw that maintained the connection between him and Grimm didn't even last two seconds before turning into a puddle of crimson molten iron and being blown to some unknown corner.
After flying for more than 20 meters, Niyingte was about to fall to the edge of the lava pool. However, a magic-breaker Knight rushed over on his horse and caught him while brushing against the surface of the lava pool. He smoothly brought him back to the camp.
Grimm stood in the middle of the lava pool and raised his left hand to look at the huge hole. A heart-wrenching pain surged up his heart.
Although the Balrog's elemental body was mostly filled with lava and magma, it was still filled with Grimm's willpower that had transformed into fire energy.
At this moment, the fire energy was an extension of Grimm's willpower, and the place the fire energy extended to was Grimm's body. That was why even though Niyingte's large hand and chest were filled with crimson lava, it was still his willpower that was everywhere that suffered the pain.
Grimm plunged his left hand into the lava pool and took it out after a while. His heavily injured left hand was already fine. He then took out a large amount of molten lava and smeared it on his chest, instantly healing the wound there.
