This was the most fundamental mystery of the Burning Tower. Flames were meant to burn, to burn all enemies as fuel and burn them to ashes.
After half a minute, the golden crown on the forehead of the Kintop Tribe's Great Sheikh thoroughly dimmed, and the magic patterns on his forehead also thoroughly lost their luster. That layer of protective halo disappeared and his body was set ablaze by the Flame Breath.
Burning, it was an endless burning …
On the other side, the expression of the Heaven Rank Warlock fighting with Krom suddenly changed. He burst out with magic patterns and instantly released a several-dozen-meter-big fireball to block Krom. He then flew towards Didala without looking back.
Meteorites fell from the sky one after another, leaving long flaming tails behind them. Like a meteor shower, they covered the orange fiery cloud.
A series of explosions echoed as the orange flaming cloud started fluctuating. Under the Heaven Rank Warlock's relentless attacks, over a thousand meteors fell within a dozen seconds and forcibly burst open that flaming cloud.
The flaming cloud burst open and a silhouette covered in light golden flames fell to the ground. The extremely high temperature completely distorted the surrounding air, and a huge hole seemed to be burning through the space.
The Kintop Tribe's Great Sheikh fell to the ground, and the earth within a hundred meters instantly burst into flames. As the Flame Breath scattered, it lost its fuel and slowly extinguished. The Kintop Tribe's Great Sheikh's burnt body was emitting black smoke as he lay there twitching.
On the other side, Krom also chased after him and ruthlessly slashed at the Heaven Rank Warlock's shield with his fang greatsword.
A loud sound echoed as the Heaven Rank Warlock's body turned into a shadow as he fell to the ground.
A dozen-meter-big hole was smashed in the ground, and in the center of the hole, the Heaven Rank Warlock who had roused his Golden Top Magic Pattern was lying there, covered in blood. If not for his Golden Top Magic Pattern, he would have already died from Krom's slash.
The battle on this side was thoroughly over, and on the other side, Lin Yun didn't feel like playing with Clough. He released two Four-Element Bombs in a row and made Clough fall to the ground once again. But before he could jump out, a dark red flame suddenly appeared in the surroundings.
The flames instantly transformed into chains that bound Clough. Then, Clough let out a blood-curdling scream as the golden light on his forehead sharply increased. The Kintop Tribe's Ancestor Soul screamed and turned into a stream of light before dissipating.
Kraff's complexion turned ashen. Just as he used his mana, he felt as if his bones were burning.
Lin Yun slowly floated down and glanced at Clough.
"If I were you, I wouldn't have any ideas. This is an Upper Rank Flame Spirit that just devoured a large amount of Evil Bone Demons' Bone-corroding Black Flames to evolve. If you don't want your bones to be burnt to ashes, you should behave."
Clough, who was bound by Syudos, had an expression of anger and unwillingness as he glared at Lin Yun and loudly roared.
"Damn you, sneak attack again. You better …"
But before he could finish his words, he began to scream in pain. His body began to twitch as a trace of black and red flames penetrated deep into his body and gently stroked his bones …
After three seconds, Clough was sweating profusely as he panted. His body seemed to have turned soft as he glared at Lin Yun while gnashing his teeth, not daring to say another word.
On the other side, the Heaven Rank Warlock and the Kintop Tribe's Great Sheikh had already been captured, but the two Kintop Tribe's Great Sheikh would rather die than surrender. His whole body was burnt black, but he still gritted his teeth and roared.
"Krom, you want me to surrender? That's impossible! I'd rather fight to the last moment! My blood is my glory, and death is nothing more than returning to the embrace of the earth!
"Krom, I definitely won't admit defeat! Even if you kill me, I won't have a portrait!
"The Beast God's subjects have never surrendered!"
Didala glared and was about to once again burn that unyielding guy to death, but Krom stopped Didala and personally went to persuade him.
The battle of the Heaven Rank powerhouses was over, but the battle of those below the Heaven Rank was still ongoing. The Kintop Tribe's defeat was already a foregone conclusion. The three Heaven Rank powerhouses had all been defeated and their morale was completely gone. They were being suppressed by the humans and Blood Fang, and they would soon enter the Kintop Tribe's territory.
"Lar, do you still not understand the current situation? Do you still not understand? If you keep fighting, your Kintop tribe will be destroyed! "
Krom tried to persuade Lar with kind words, a hint of emotion in his eyes.
Before dealing with the Undeads, Krom's lifelong wish was to defeat the Kintop tribe and cut off his old rival Lar's head to hang at the entrance of the Blood Fang.
But now, seeing Lar's appearance, he no longer had that thought.
Lar straightened his neck, veins popping out on his forehead as he glared at Krom with bloodshot eyes. The aura on his body began to circulate once more, but in an instant, a large chunk of his charred skin was torn off by the eruption of aura, exposing the bloody flesh beneath.
The fierce pain affected his internal and external injuries, and Lar could no longer control his burst of Aura. He could only keep glaring at Krom while clenching his teeth.
"Krom, you traitor of the Beastmen, you scoundrel who lost the glory of the Beast God. I refuse to accept this, I won't surrender even if I die. If I even frown, I won't be a subject of the Beast God.
"You despicable scoundrel, you invited outsiders to deal with us. I won't surrender even if I die, and the Kintop tribe's Beastmen also won't surrender. It's useless even if you don't kill the Kintop tribe.
"I'll transform into an Ancestor Soul and hide to tell countless future generations what despicable means you, Krom, used to win this victory!"
Seeing Lar's appearance, Krom's expression sank and he pointed at Clough, who had been bound by Syudos and was paralyzed on the ground.
"Lar, you borrowed outsiders to attack our tribe last time, but I've never seen you act so boldly. You idiot, you even made that guy pretend to be a Beastman of your Kintop tribe so that others wouldn't be able to see through it.
You saw it last time. When you attacked, my honored guests didn't interfere. It was because they discovered that you had brought outsiders that they attacked.
"You broke the rules first, you violated the glory of the Beastmen. Since you didn't follow our rules and borrowed the power of outsiders to eliminate our Blood Fang, then I'll use the same method to deal with you. You asked for it!"
Lar's eyes were red. He wasn't afraid of death, but he didn't want to be the one who broke the rules, and the first to do so.
"Krom, how could this be the same? This is completely different. My guest is a Beastman, but none of your guests look like Beastmen.
"My guest is also a follower of the Beast God, there shouldn't be any problem in helping me. You found an outsider, that's different. You are the one who broke the rules."
Krom didn't get angry and chuckled.
"Lar, you are still being stubborn even now. Do you dare to swear to the Beast God? I don't need to tell you what our ancestral teachings are, do I?
"Do you dare to swear to the Beast God, swear on the glory of the Kintop tribe that you feel that you didn't do anything wrong?
"Since you didn't do anything wrong, why didn't you appear with your guest? Why did you disguise him as a Golden Top Beastman?"
Lar opened his mouth and his face turned red, but he didn't dare to say anything. Unless they had a clear conscience, no Beastman would dare to swear an oath related to the Beast God. At least, this was the case for the Kintop tribe and the Blood Fang.
Seeing that Lar was speechless, Krom promptly tried to persuade him.
"Lar, you have nothing to say now, right? You broke the rules set by our ancestors first, so it wouldn't be considered breaking the rules if I used the same method. What are you unconvinced about?
"Let's not talk about this for now. Did you think that if you didn't surrender and kept fighting, would you have been my opponent?
"After you died, the Kintop tribe would have been exterminated. Your tribe also has three Heaven Rank powerhouses, and the Warlock is already seriously injured and can't keep fighting. If you didn't surrender and kept fighting, you would have died.
"Do you think that your tribe's Great Prophet and clansmen would surrender after you and the Warlock died?
"No, they are the followers of the great Beast God, they would definitely avenge you!
"Then what should we do? We can only defeat your Kintop tribe, but the losses would inevitably be the destruction of one side, and the one to die definitely wouldn't be our Blood Fang. You should understand this.
"If you kept fighting, your Kintop tribe would be thoroughly exterminated and the tribe's inheritance would be severed in your hands. Would you be able to face your Kintop tribe's ancestors?"
After saying that, Krom suddenly stopped and waited for Lar to slowly think about it.
Lar's expression kept changing, helplessness and unyieldingness kept changing in his eyes, as well as pain and humiliation.
"Our Kintop tribe will never surrender!"
Krom looked at Lar and suddenly sighed.
"Lar, take a look at this."
After saying that, Krom took out Blood Fang's new Inheritance Totem.
It was a totem covered in the names of the Beastmen's ancestors, and there was an ancient Beastman skull at the top of the totem.
Lar looked at this totem with a bit of shock, especially when he saw many familiar names on the surface of the totem. Among them, the most conspicuous name was Leksa, which all the children in the tribe who had just learned to speak knew.
"This is an Inheritance Totem? Your tribe's? "
Krom pointed at the totem and slowly said with a sigh, "This skull is the skull of Ancestor Leksa.
"This skull is the skull of the Leksa Ancestor. These ancestors used their souls to seal the Great Overlord. Their souls were unable to rest in peace, and their bodies turned into undead creatures, forever wandering the wastelands.
"This is why the wasteland is so desolate, and why no living creature can be seen." This time, with the help of these guests, we used our tribe's Inheritance Totem to replace the souls of these ancestors and sealed the Greater Overlord.
"The souls of the ancestors were freed, and their souls gathered together, undergoing nirvanic rebirth and turning into our tribe's new Inheritance Totem.
"Look at these names, many of them are your tribe's ancestors.
"We have been arguing about which tribe's ancestor Leksa belongs to, but these names are enough to explain the problem.
"Lar, we are all subjects of the Beast God, and the blood of the Beast God flows in our bodies. Look at these names, we all have the same ancestor, so there is no need for us to continue fighting.
"These past few years, the number of people in the tribe has been decreasing. Do you think that if we continue fighting, there will be a winner? "What's the use of truly ruling this wasteland? The tribe's inheritance is what we care about the most.
"Let's stop fighting."
