Catie's body spun madly and turned into a golden tornado. She gripped her metal spikes tightly and aimed at the Balrog's heart.
The timing of her attack was perfect. It happened to be when Galim had just finished casting Flame Leap. After transforming into a terrifying Balrog, Grimm's movement speed and body movements were not as fast as when he was in his human form. His reaction speed was not as fast either.
What she was attacking was precisely the core high-energy organ of Grimm's body. If she succeeded, the damage she would inflict on Grimm would either kill him or cripple him.
However, Grimm had chased her all the way to Hakans City, and she had secretly hidden herself during the battle.
Of course, Grimm had his guard up against her!
With the Balrog's speed, it was impossible for him to dodge Catie's attack, and it was unwise to take her attack head-on at such a close distance. Therefore, Grimm collapsed without any hesitation!
When Catie turned into a golden tornado and was only half a meter away from touching the Balrog's magma armor, the six-meter-tall Balrog, which was made up of lava rocks, crimson magma, and ferocious flames, collapsed in an instant.
Thousands of pieces of lava and rubble collapsed like a collapsing mountain, and the flowing magma and flames instantly lost control, collapsing and spilling in all directions.
Catie used her metal spikes as a drill and her densely-packed blades as a saw. The golden tornado pierced through the collapsed rocks and lava, mincing everything it came into contact with into tiny particles. However, strangely enough, she did not sense or touch any life energy.
The golden tornado disappeared, and Katy returned to her human form. She stood alone on a pile of ruins with black smoke billowing out of it. She held her breath and focused on searching for the wizard's traces.
The sudden appearance of the girl attracted the attention of a few fiery creatures nearby. Out of hatred for life, they roared and charged at Catie.
"Shut up! Go to hell … "
Catie, who was fuming with rage after her ambush failed, swung her Metal Blade Wheel. Five streaks of golden light instantly slashed across the bodies of the fiery creatures. The bodies of these Flame Creatures, which were only at the Stage 1 level, were instantly destroyed, turning into a rain of fire.
However, within this rain of fire that filled the sky, there was a strange sound of metal blades cutting through steel mixed within.
Catie turned around abruptly and was surprised to find that one of the fire creatures was still alive. It was roaring as it charged forward, expanding rapidly. Catie, on the other hand, had embedded a metal wheel into its back and turned it into a flaming wheel, but it was unable to penetrate it at all.
The body of this fiery creature that resembled a demonic tiger seemed to be expanding endlessly. What was more frightening was that the energy aura on its body was also skyrocketing crazily.
Tier 1 … Tier 2 … Tier 3 …
Catie's body and soul almost went numb when she saw a Flame Tiger, who was only a Quasi-Wizard before, turn into a terrifying, grade-3 Flame Beast in such a short time.
How … how was this possible?
Howl …
A wild tiger's roar shook the soul. The ferocious flaming tiger withstood the attacks of the metal wheel and charged towards Catie.
Damn it, it's the elemental helper that the wizard summoned from the other world, and … and it's a grade-3 helper!
Catie's heart crumbled at this moment.
She could guess that if she did not appear, this grade-3 Flame Tiger that was disguised as a small Flame Spirit would have been prepared for the Gold-tier knight. Now that she had shown herself, she immediately became the target of the enemies' attacks.
Unfortunately, the situation did not allow her to hesitate or regret.
With a violent bang, a man and a tiger fiercely fought against each other, instantly turning the ruins into a terrifying battlefield.
The Gold-tier knight who was galloping over saw this and immediately reined in his warhorse. He looked at the intense battlefield and was momentarily at a loss.
Enemies, enemies … They're all enemies!
Should he kill them all in one fell swoop, or help one side kill the other? Or should I sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting for them to kill each other?
Just as he was hesitating, the team of paladins attacking the elemental magic machine encountered a problem. A grade-2 Silver-tier knight could not dodge in time, and the elemental magic machine's right hand spat out a stream of crimson flames that ignited his entire body, charring him along with his horse.
Although he was rescued by his companions in time and dragged to the side for 'Holy Healing', such a serious injury meant that he could not return to the battlefield. And because of this, there was an opening in the team attacking the elemental magic machine, giving the opponent a chance to escape.
The Gold-tier knight saw that the situation was not good, and he could not care less about the two enemies who were locked in a fierce battle. He turned his horse around and charged towards the elemental magic machine.
At the edge of the battlefield, a strange face suddenly appeared in the flames of a burning house. It opened its golden eyes and scanned the battlefield coldly.
Seeing that the Gold-tier knight did not intervene in the battle between the two grade-3 knights, but instead went to attack the elemental magic machine, the flaming face sneered and finally shifted its attention to Catie.
Of course, the flaming face was created by Grimm, and this technique was actually learned from Sindar the Flaming Tiger. Using real flames to hide one's body was also the ultimate technique of some flame creatures! If it was not for Sindar's guidance, Grimm would not have been able to do this without decades of hard work.
Grimm turned into a pure flame, and weaved in and out of the sea of flames.
Compared to the body of a human and a fiery demon, the pure body of flames was actually more compatible with Grimm's soul origin, and it was also more unpredictable. Moreover, after turning into a formless body of flames, his movement speed was faster and stealthier than ever before.
As long as there was a flame, he could travel freely, and he did not even need to use the power of witchcraft. This would also reduce the possibility of his enemies discovering him.
While patrolling around Catie and Sindar the Flaming Tiger, Grimm watched their battle from the side while looking for the best opportunity to attack. He knew that Catie was aware of his existence. He also knew that the other party was definitely trying to find him, and the best way to do so was to create an opening to lure him into attacking.
Thus, he needed to find an opportunity to attack, and it definitely could not be a trap set by the enemy. This was a test of his eyesight!
…
Catie was fighting with all her might.
The flaming tiger in front of her was surprisingly difficult to deal with!
Unlike the elemental bodies of ordinary elemental creatures, this flaming tiger not only had Odd Zhuo's skillful control of the fire element, it also had a sturdy body.
That's right, its semi-elemental body seemed to have been mixed with some kind of strange metal, and it was actually as sturdy as a superalloy. The remaining skin on Catie's face couldn't help but twitch as she watched the ferocious Flaming Tiger, which was made of pure elemental flames, resisting the attacks of the five metal blades and two metal spikes without giving in at all.
As she fought, she screamed in her heart.
After all, the five-sided metal wheel blades and the two metal spikes were high-level witchcraft weapons. Not only were they sturdy, they were also imbued with several very practical anti-magic effects.
However, when such a compound attack landed on the Flaming Tiger's body, it was as if they were hitting a superalloy bronze statue. Apart from the dazzling sparks and loud noises that made people want to cover their ears, not even a single strand of tiger fur was cut.
Relying on the sturdiness of its body, the flaming tiger pounced on Catie swiftly and violently, breathing flames, sweeping its tail, and letting out a ferocious roar that shook one's soul. Catie was unable to break free, and she could not focus on finding the whereabouts of that damned Fire Wizard.
Relying on her keen battle instincts, Catie could vaguely sense a deep hostility flowing in the sea of fire around her. Unfortunately, she was busy dealing with the flaming tiger's attacks, and could not pinpoint the source of the hostility.
This undoubtedly made Catie, who was injured and unable to break free, even more irritated and suspicious.
Just as Catie was worrying about her gains and losses, the flaming tiger Sindar let out a deafening roar. A copious amount of wild aura gathered into a cone-shaped shockwave, striking Catie's rapidly moving body.
Catie's petite body trembled slightly, and her mind was shaken by the sudden sound wave attack. Seizing this good opportunity, the flaming tiger Sindar and Grimm, who was lying in ambush nearby, attacked at the same time. Their fiercest attacks landed on Catie's body.
"Ah …"
Facing a pincer attack from two powerful Grade 3 Magi, even with Catie's conceit, she could clearly feel the aura of death approaching.
Katy didn't dare to hold back anymore. She raised her head and let out a sky-piercing scream. A dozen metal blades popped out of her body and combined with the original five blades, forming a terrifying metal blade array that revolved around her body crazily.
Any close-range attacks or long-range spells that wanted to hit Catie would have to endure the frenzied strangulation and violent slashes of the metal blade formation. This was a multi-layered attack, and anyone who dared to approach Catie would have to endure the physical attacks of each wheel blade at 173 degrees per second.
Once these attacks overlapped, even the strongest defensive spell would not be able to withstand the frenzied attacks of so many wheel blades.
Sindar had just rushed to Catie's side, waving his flaming claws and leaving seven to eight bone-deep wounds on her body. He was shocked and quickly fled to the periphery. Even though he retreated as fast as lightning, he still could not avoid the frenzied strangulation of seven to eight metal wheel blades.
Even with Sindar's strengthened flaming body, it was difficult to endure this degree of damage.
Sindar let out a pained roar as he escaped from the blade formation in a sorry state.
On the other side, Grimm's powerful Grade 3 Fire Spell, 'Molten World', had already locked onto Catie. A dense and somewhat glaring ring of fire appeared beneath Catie's feet, and a huge pillar of crimson flames appeared with her at the center.
The temperature in the field began to soar. 1000 degrees … 2000 degrees … 3000 degrees …
The terrifyingly high temperature ignited Catie's clothes, and her exposed skin turned red and scalding. The scorching air made it difficult for her to breathe. As she breathed, she felt her flesh and organs begin to congeal and dry up.
With Catie's strength, controlling five metal wheel blades was her normal ability. She would only release all the wheel blades stored in her body when she was fighting with her life on the line.
Even with her mental strength, it was difficult for her to endure such a huge consumption of mental strength.
Hence, Katy could not be bothered to retaliate against Grimm. Instead, she dragged her heavily injured body and ran away in a flustered manner.
