The Flame Cage had temporarily stopped the Lava Guards from entering the battlefield, but it did not give Grimm enough time to deal with them.
Against a six-metre-tall Lord of the Flames that was forged from lava rocks that were as hard as steel, any spells below Grade 2 would only be able to restrict its movements. They would not be able to harm its body in the slightest. Moreover, a Tier 2 Spell required a considerable amount of time to cast. Unless the other party was a fool, they would definitely not allow Grimm to cast a spell beside them.
However, Grimm's magic traps still managed to trap the Lord of the Flames for five fingers. This short period of time was enough for Grimm and the Balrog to cast a large lava fireball. Artes, who had just expelled the frost energy from his body, was instantly smashed into the ground by the lava fireball. A deep crater, one meter in diameter, appeared in the middle of his chest. The crater was densely covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
That was how violent a battle between flames was!
Both sides were immune to or neutralized by their opponent's flames. If they wanted to deal any real damage to their opponent, they could only rely on their fiery fists or physical attacks that came with spells.
When the enraged Artes crawled out of the pool of lava, the Balrog swung its Lava Beheading Sword and charged forward. Grimm, on the other hand, was still chanting a mysterious incantation.
The Balrog, which mainly used elemental energy, was no match for the violent Artes in close combat. However, it still had to charge forward and buy time for Grimm to cast his spells.
Grimm was desperately absorbing the fire energy from the mysterious spell formation under his feet. Using his flame shaping ability, he condensed the fire elemental energy between his hands into extremely sharp flame spears. He then threw them at Artes, who was in the middle of a fierce battle.
Although Grimm's 18 Strength after two transformations could not compare to a big guy like Artes, it was more than enough to break through Artes' defenses. Sharp dark-red flame spears turned into flame arrows and pierced into the gaps of Artes' magma body. Then, after a series of earth-shattering explosions, they exploded into fireballs one after another.
Artes might be immune to this degree of fire damage, but he was not immune to the piercing damage of the Flame Spear and the shockwave of the Flame Burst.
The lava armor covering Artest's body broke and peeled off layer by layer, revealing his true form.
Artesian liked to soak in the lava. On the one hand, he wanted to absorb the pure flame energy in the lava. On the other hand, he wanted to absorb the lava stones to increase the thickness of his body. It was killing two birds with one stone, no wonder it could persist for so many years without feeling bored.
In a battle between fire creatures, an indestructible shell was a great advantage.
Grimm had a deep understanding of what it felt like to fight two fiery monsters that were 5 to 6 meters tall in front of him. As the earth shook and the mountains shook, the entire lava pool suffered a terrifying disaster. Large amounts of lava splashed in all directions, and even the Flame Hall began to shake violently.
Judging from the situation, it was as if the Flame Lord Artest was suppressing the terrifying Balrog and giving it a good beating. The heavy lava fists that were the size of millstones pounded on the terrifying Balrog's head, causing sparks to fly everywhere. Even the head was slightly deformed.
If not for the mysterious spell formation at the bottom of the fire pool providing the terrifying Balrog with fire energy, it would have been more than enough for the Balrog to explode in just a minute or two.
But even after being beaten up so badly, every time Flame Lord Artes struggled to get up and pounced on Grimm, the terrifying Flame Demon would roar and fight with him again.
Under Grimm's incessant Flame Spear attacks, the Flame Lord Artest could not fully focus on dealing with the terrifying Balrog. Even with Artesian's wild strength and powerful body, he could not withstand the combined attacks of two opponents of the same level.
As he fought, Arteses roared loudly.
In the center of the Flame City in the distance, deep roars rose and fell one after another. Tall and mighty Lava Giants rushed out of the buildings, knocking down the low-tier Fire Elementals blocking their way and madly sprinting towards the Flame Hall.
Among them, a particularly tall and majestic Lava Giant was especially eye-catching.
Looking at its size and the way it ran like a shooting star, it was the Grade 2 Guard Captain, Huo Lie!
Grimm, who was fighting in the lava pool, watched the scene through the Witchcraft Eye he had left behind. His face, which was hidden under the blazing flames, turned pale.
He only had three minutes left …
If Shi Feng tried to kill a powerful Tier 2 Flame Lord, he would have no chance of success if he cherished his body too much. If time dragged on, Artest's subordinates would arrive, and the flame cage outside wouldn't last long.
At this moment, Grimm had also given up on long-range guerrilla tactics. He raised his head and let out a roar. A Lava Greatsword made of lava and flames materialized between his hands. He pounced forward frantically and cooperated with the terrifying Balrog and Artes to unleash a barrage of punches and kicks.
When faced with a Rank 2 Lord of the Flames, a long-range fire spell's power and resistance were greatly reduced. A Rank 2 Spell was far from comparable to a Blazing Rock Fist that was filled with all his strength. It was much more direct and powerful.
Just a moment ago, there were only two flame monsters fighting, but now, there were three!
In terms of Strength, Grimm was no match for Artest.
Grimm had 18 Strength after transforming, while Artest had 27 Strength. With just a little more, Arthez would have a crushing advantage when facing Grim.
With a difference of 5 points in Strength, every time their fists collided, Grim would be knocked back. His body would stagger, and he could not stand firmly. If there was a difference of 10 points in Strength, Grimm's Blazing Fist would be shattered by Artest's Lava Fist.
At that time, the scene would be even more terrifying and ugly!
[Lower your head … Dodge 2 meters to the left … Greatsword slash … Attack position marked …]
Grimm didn't have any talent in combat, so he relied on the A.I. Chip's combat instructions to fight. Grimm lowered his head to dodge Artest's ferocious Blazing Fist, then quickly dodged 2 meters to the left, dodging a silent knee strike from below.
Grimm took advantage of the momentum and swung his Lava Greatsword upwards, heavily slashing through the crack in Artest's chest. The sharp edge of the big sword with jagged teeth and the rough and hard magma body of Arthez brushed against each other, causing dazzling sparks and a large amount of red magma to splash out.
This was not real lava, but the blood that flowed within the Lord of the Flames, Artest!
With the help of the A.I. Chip's powerful battle support system, Grimm's field of vision was filled with colourful transparent spectral lines and red lines that appeared and disappeared one after another. The red lines stuck to Artest's tall and majestic body, directly marking the gaps in his defence and the weak points on the surface of his body.
Moreover, as Artes moved and changed his posture, the red lines were also constantly shifting, appearing and disappearing. Just a moment ago, there was a dark red line on his chest, but when he moved to a position where he could attack, the dark red line would disappear along with his posture.
The red lines flickered, appearing and disappearing at different spots on Artest's body. Attacking these spots would cause the greatest amount of damage with the least amount of force. According to the saying on Earth in his previous life, this should be called 'Fatal Strike'!
However, the red lines' positions were constantly changing, and with Grimm's combat strength, he couldn't even catch 1/5 of them. However, this 1/5 of 'Fatal Strike' was enough to cause Artest to bleed profusely in this life and death battle.
As for Grimm, the Lava Greatsword in his hand was broken, his head was smashed in half, and a small part of his chest was caved in. As for the main attacker, the Balrog had been beaten to a pulp. It was a pitiful sight.
As Tier-2 creatures, their battle shouldn't have been so ugly and ugly!
A normal battle between Tier-2 creatures would always start with long-range attacks, constantly moving and dodging, trying to find the opponent's flaws and loopholes. Only when magic power couldn't effectively harm the other party would they try to engage in some close combat. How could they be like Grimm, who fought to the death right from the start and entered a cruel deathmatch?
There was only one chance!
If he missed this chance to kill Artest, he would not give him a second chance.
Therefore, Grimm didn't hesitate to go all out in this ambush after putting all his wealth into it!
Since the start of the battle, Grimm had already used the A.I. Chip's help to create seven to eight large bloody holes on Artest's body. Grimm's body had also been smashed into pieces by Artest's heavy Lava Fists.
However, this damage was obviously not enough to kill the Lord of the Flames with a vitality of 24. At this moment, the Lava Giants' reinforcements had already reached the entrance of the Flame Hall. They would only need a few more steps to reach the Flame Cage.
There wasn't much time left for Grimm!
"Fight …"
Grimm roared, and with a Flame Leap, he appeared in front of Artest. The berserk fire energy in his body gathered in his hands, forming a new Lava Greatsword. He viciously stabbed at the hole in Artest's chest.
The Lord of the Flames, Artest, reacted quickly. He opened his left hand and grabbed the tip of the Lava Greatsword. No matter how hot the lava splashed on his body, he did not let go. He also took the opportunity to raise his right fist and viciously hammered at Grimm's broken and twisted head.
The heavy Flame Fist brought with it a whistling wind. Before the fist even arrived, the strong wind pressure had already caused Grimm's Flame Barrier to crack.
