For Red Oriole, although she hadn't reached a very high level of compatibility with the fire-attribute divine runes, she was at least at the fifth level, which was similar to Long Yu's level.
In addition, she had already stepped into the martial path of a Great Ruler. Her basic strength was very strong, and the power of the Fierce Fire Rune was already extraordinary.
Even without the Fierce Flame Talisman, Red Oriole was able to face three Ice God Clan's third phase Great Dominators by herself and even kill one of them. Now that she had the Fierce Flame Talisman, Red Oriole was practically a god in front of the Ice God Clan's members.
Because the five-edged ice crystal Great Ruler and the long-horned Great Ruler were surrounded by Dao Qing and the others, Red Oriole didn't join in the fight. Instead, she flew to another place and continuously used the power of the Fierce Fire Rune to attack the other Ice God Race Rulers.
What surprised everyone was that apart from the three third-phase Great Rulers, there were many second-phase Great Rulers among the group of forty Ice God Race Rulers. Although they couldn't compare to the three third-phase Great Rulers, they had the advantage in numbers!
Although Red Oriole and the others had taken down a city first and killed four of the enemy Great Rulers, the enemy's overall number was still very high. On average, Red Oriole and the others had to deal with three or four Ice God Race Rulers each.
Red Oriole didn't feel any pressure, but the others were different. Even with the help of the Fierce Fire Rune, most of them could only barely resist the enemy's attacks and couldn't increase their advantage.
Thus, the key lay in Red Oriole's group of strongest combatants. It all depended on whether or not they could defeat the enemy's powerhouses as quickly as possible. Only then would they be able to assist the others. Until then, the others could only barely protect themselves. They did not wish to contribute to the battle, but rather, to preserve their lives.
However, the battle didn't last as long as everyone thought it would.
Clearly, when everyone obtained the Fierce Fire Rune, the overall situation of the battle began to turn. The Ice God Race Rulers weren't idiots, and they naturally guessed something.
They could easily tell that this small group of demons was just bait. The real Fierce Fire Talismans were not on these people at all, but what had attracted them here was just bait.
Since that was the case, why would they need to spend so much effort on Long Yu and the others? There was no point at all!
Just like Long Yu and the others, Dao Qing, as the leader, had led everyone to accept a mission from the army on the battlefield. After completing the mission, they would be rewarded handsomely. It was the same for the Ice God Clan's Great Rulers. They had been ordered by the higher-ups of the Ice God Clan to move out. The content of the order was naturally to intercept the Fierce Fire Symbols, not to kill Long Yu and the others.
Now, the Ice God Race understood that they had picked the wrong target. They wouldn't be able to complete the mission no matter what. If that was true, why would they stay and risk their lives?
With this thought in mind, there was no need for the battle to continue.
The five-edged ice crystal Great Ruler and the long-horned Ice God Great Ruler, the two strongest Ice Gods, were the first to retreat. They wanted to take the giant Ice God's corpse with them. After all, it had a Godly Absolute Beginning treasure, the Frost Talisman Stele. However, how could the others let them do as they wished?
If they were delayed for too long, the Ice God Race wouldn't even be able to leave. This place was close to the Beast Race's territory. It was risky for them to come here and launch an attack.
If they were delayed for too long, the Ice Gods wouldn't even be able to leave. This place was close to the territory of the Demon Clan. The Ice Gods were already taking a great risk by coming here to launch an attack. Now that the situation was hopeless, it was impossible for them to waste time here.
Seeing that they couldn't take away the Ice God Race's Fire Rune, the Ice God Race's Fire Rune, and the Ice God Race's Fire Rune, turned around, and retreated without any hesitation. At the same time, the other Ice God Race's Fire Rune caught up with the two strongest Ice God Race's Fire Rune, and tried to leave the Void by activating the Space Rune.
Everyone liked to beat a dog when it was down. Han Hen from the Godly Wood Monster Race was the most eye-catching. When the other Ice God Race's Fire Rune retreated, Han Hen held the Fire Rune, and attacked one of the Ice God Race's Fire Rune. He wanted to kill that Ice God Race's Fire Rune.
Unfortunately, the Ice God Race's Fire Rune was like a turtle. A thick Ice Shield appeared behind him. Although the Ice God Race's Fire Rune kept melting, it wasn't penetrated by the Fire Rune.
Soon, a large group of Ice God Race's Fire Rune disappeared from everyone's sight. Since the Ice God Race's Fire Rune wanted to retreat, Dao Qing, Red Oriole, and the others couldn't kill more Ice God Race's Fire Rune.
"You ran. If you didn't run, I'll show you how powerful I am!"
Han Hen snorted coldly. He remembered that he was ambushed by the three Ice God Race's Fire Runes, which caused him to be frozen unconscious. Long Yu had contributed to their victory. He was filled with hatred for the Ice God Race. Moreover, he didn't have a good impression of the Ice God Race in the first place.
Long Yu glanced at this brat. Throughout the entire battle, this Han Hen did not do anything decent at all …
Of course, Long Yu didn't think that he had contributed anything to the battle. The only thing he did was remind Dao Qing to check the storage ring that had been escorted. He wanted to confirm his guess.
In fact, even if Long Yu hadn't reminded her, Dao Qing would have checked it herself later. After all, if the situation was desperate, no one would give up even if there was only a sliver of hope.
However, when Red Oriole killed the giant Ice God Race's Fire Rune, she was frozen by the pentagonal Ice Crystal Rune. If Long Yu hadn't asked everyone to use the Fierce Fire Rune, Red Oriole's life would have been in danger.
Although it was shocking that Red Oriole had awakened eight levels of the Six Demon Blood Wings, Red Oriole had just become a Great Sovereign. She was only a First Stage Sovereign. It was impossible for her to fight against so many Ice God Race powerhouses at the same time. Most importantly, the Ice God Race powerhouses each had their own powerful techniques.
Even in the end, they weren't able to kill any of the remaining Ice God Race's Fire Runes. It was clear that the Ice God Race's Fire Runes were extremely powerful.
They had killed three of the Ice God Race's Fire Runes while Red Oriole had risked her life to kill a giant Ice God Race's Fire Rune.
If they were to continue fighting, it would be hard to say who would win without external factors. After all, the two sides had more than twice the number of people. It was a gap that the Fierce Fire Runes couldn't make up for.
Fortunately, now that the Ice God Race's enemies had retreated, Long Yu, Dao Qing, and the others could catch their breaths and think about their next move.
"How are you? Are you okay?"
After the other side retreated, Long Yu went to find Red Oriole and asked her with concern.
"Do I look like I'm not okay?"
Red Oriole held up Long Yu's face and kissed him, "Don't worry, big sister just stepped into the Great Ruler Realm, and the situation is very good. It's just that I used the Blood Realm's Illusory World innate ability, which caused the situation of the Innate Divine Ability Fruit to worsen a little."
"Before you recover completely, don't use the Blood Realm Illusion Realm if you can avoid it."
Long Yu shook his head and said helplessly.
"We didn't have time to worry about that. If I didn't use the Blood Realm Illusion Realm, all of you would have fallen into the enemy's Extreme Cold Illusion. The consequences would be unpredictable. If one or two of you died, it would be really troublesome."
Red Oriole sighed.
That was true. For Red Oriole, she had no other choice. The Extreme Cold Illusion Realm used by the Pentagonal Ice Crystal Great Ruler was an extremely powerful illusion technique. She wasn't confident that she could break it with other methods, so she had to use the Blood Realm Illusion Realm.
If one or two of them died, the situation would be completely different. At the beginning of the confrontation, they would fall into a great disadvantage and be passive. They might even die there.
After all, from the beginning of the battle until the end, everyone was fighting against the Absolute Ice Sealing Formation. If one or two of them died, they might not be able to stop it. It would be a nightmare for everyone.
"Fortunately, it's fine now. The mission should be considered completed. Although we used the fifteen Fierce Fire Runes, we were just bait. It's a success that none of us died."
Long Yu nodded and said to Red Oriole, then told her to rest.
Then, everyone gathered together and began to discuss the next step.
Dao Qing thought for a while and said, "First of all, since the Ice God Clan retreated, they won't bother us anymore. They also know that we're just a batch of bait released by the Monster Clan. They won't have any thoughts about the bait.
"Second, our mission should be considered completed. Remember that the mission's goal was to ensure that a large number of Fierce Fire Runes reach the frontline of the battlefield. Although we were just bait, we played a role in restraining them. In other aspects, the Fierce Fire Runes should have reached the destination. Since the enemies here have retreated, let's hurry to the frontline to confirm it. "
Dao Qing's words were unanimously agreed by everyone. There was nothing much to say next. Rushing to the army base to report the situation and confirm the mission's results was the most important thing. Of course, everyone hoped that the batch of Fierce Fire Runes could reach the frontline as soon as possible. That way, they could defeat the Ice God Clan army as soon as possible.
"But in this mission, none of us died. I have to thank someone."
Dao Qing glanced at Long Yu and smiled. "At the crucial moment, Brother Long Yu reminded me to check the storage ring. It seems that Brother Long Yu thought faster than us!"
"You were all fighting, and I had nothing to do. Of course, I could only use my brain."
