But …
Not long after, a sharp sound echoed from that huge barrier as cracks appeared on it. Although it had resisted the Lava Giant's attack, that 7th Tier Spell was already on the verge of collapse. With a deep roar, the Lava Giant raised its huge arm high in the air, splashing lava everywhere before heavily punching the Ice Barrier.
"Rumble!" Under the violent impact, the Ice Sealing Barrier completely collapsed. It turned into countless pieces of sparkling and translucent ice, and sprinkled down from the sky …
After Suval's 7th Tier Spell buffering, everyone in the team had already used Fire Elemental Incarnation and were shuttling back and forth in the sea of flames. Dazzling spells accurately bombarded the Lava Giant's huge body, rousing a large amount of lava.
Under such circumstances, Fire Elemental Incarnation was undoubtedly the best choice. It could make one immune to most fire damage while also being agile.
At this time, Lin Yun was covered in flames as he wandered within the sea of flames. The Doom Staff in his hand blossomed with a dazzling radiance as a cold aura rapidly rose up. The rich mana in the surroundings frantically surged, and with the infusion of mana, a several-meter-long Frost Spear condensed.
Then, with a "boom", a blue light flashed past. Its speed was even faster than the speed of sound, stirring up the sound of wind and thunder. It contained an extremely terrifying power. In an instant, after a series of intense collisions, the Frost Spear finally sank into the body of the magma giant.
The Magma Giant's body, which was several hundred meters tall, suddenly froze. It let out a deafening roar and raised its arms high. Dense raindrops of magma enveloped the entire void and rapidly fell down …
Although mages in the Fire Elemental Incarnation state were immune to most fire damage, the lava on the Lava Giant's body wasn't as simple as high temperature. It also contained an extremely powerful fire poison and had corrosive properties. When he thought about the Lava Giant's attack, that lava almost caused a 2nd Rank Archmage to fall, it was clear how frightening it was.
But Lin Yun didn't plan to stop. He used five Flame Flashes in a row to dodge the Lava Giants' attacks. He then held the Doom Staff horizontally in front of his chest and spat out runes one after another. A cold aura surged around him, and each rune condensed into an Ice Spear.
In an instant, countless streaks of blue light rushed towards the Lava Giant. Almost every Frost Spear that hit the Lava Giant's body would send large clumps of lava flying.
At this time, Lin Yun had already released at least a few hundred Frost Spears.
What kind of concept was that …
Although Frost Lances were only 3rd Tier Spells, he had released several hundred in a short ten seconds. Let alone a 5th Rank High Mage, even a 5th Rank Archmage would have been exhausted and their minds in chaos. This wasn't an exaggeration. His current fighting style was completely based on his superb casting ability, as well as the Magic Array's limitless reduction of spell cooldowns.
This would be an unbearable torment for any mage.
But he had no other choice now, because he could see that this Lava Giant wasn't simple. Its power was around level 36.
If there had been no other factors, the Lava Giant's level 36 power wouldn't have been worth mentioning to this team of Archmages. The battle would have ended in less than ten minutes.
But that wasn't the case.
In the environment of the Thawing Fire Tribe's Holy Land, the fire elements were extremely rich. The Lava Giant was a lifeform of the Fire Elemental, so its fighting strength was greatly increased. It was even a bit stronger than the 7th Rank Archmage Suval.
Moreover, the Lava Giant was extremely resistant to fire spells. This meant that Lin Yun's group simply couldn't use fire spells to deal with the Lava Giant. They could only use some ice spells like Frost Spears. But the Holy Land was a world of flames. Any ice spells used here would be suppressed and their power would be weakened.
Because of this, the team formed by the dozen Archmages and the Lava Giant fell into a deadlock.
But now, the volley of several hundred Frost Lances made the Lava Giant lose its chance to breathe, and the remaining Archmages cleverly took advantage of this opportunity.
"Rumble …"
The sound of incantations kept echoing as one tyrannical spell after another exploded on the Lava Giant's huge body. Muffled sounds echoed as dazzling sparks flew.
In a flash, Lin Yun, who was covered in flames, kept using Flame Flashes and rushing towards the sky. A bright moon rose behind him as countless spells rushed towards the Lava Giant's head like a tide.
At this time, the Magic Array was roused to its pinnacle, compressing the cooldown of spells to a terrifying degree. He raised his hand and cast close to a hundred Frost Spears, which turned into blue rays of light that rapidly streaked across the horizon.
"Roar …"
A mournful and sinister howl echoed as the Lava Giant's several-hundred-meter-tall body fiercely shook. The lava flowing all over its body dimmed and slowly solidified. At a glance, the Lava Giant looked like a statue standing on the ground, motionless.
"Phew …"
Seeing this scene, everyone in the team sighed in relief. They canceled their Elemental Incarnation and the entire world became quiet.
Only the sound of panting could be heard, as well as the earth-shattering flames.
"Damn it …"
Weiss' expression was somewhat unsightly. He raised his head and looked at the statue of the Lava Giant in a daze before fiercely cursing. Strange things kept happening one after another after coming to the Thawing Fire Tribe's Holy Land. First, the young Raging Flame Beastman Yass inexplicably combusted at the entrance of the valley, and then, they met a strange Lava Giant in the valley.
More importantly, the Lava Giant was too powerful.
He originally thought that the trip to the Holy Mountain would be very smooth, but it brought too many surprises. If not for that Peak True Spirit Magic Tool, he might have already given up.
The group rested for over ten minutes before heading towards the depths of the valley. They were very careful on the way, and the atmosphere was very solemn. But after half an hour, they actually met another Elemental lifeform. It was an Ash Elemental covered in a sulfuric aura. Its body was two to three times larger than an ordinary Ash Elemental.
What was shocking was that the Ash Elemental was also extremely powerful, not much inferior to the Lava Giant.
The battle lasted for twenty minutes.
The battle was very fierce, and the poisonous gas emitted by the Ash Elemental made everyone feel apprehensive. Even the defensive power of an Archmage couldn't guard against this kind of poisonous gas. Their lives would be in danger if they came in contact with it. Thus, this battle lasted for twenty minutes. Ultimately, under everyone's attacks, that ten-meter-tall Ash Elemental slowly collapsed and turned to ashes.
Everyone faintly felt that whether it was the Lava Giant or the Ash Elemental, they both seemed to have mutated in the Thawing Fire Tribe's Holy Land, increasing their strength by at least ten levels!
Fortunately, there weren't many such Elemental lifeforms. They had only met two during their time in the valley. If there had been more, this group of over a dozen Archmages would have had no choice but to consider whether to advance or retreat.
After eliminating the Ash Elemental, the group did not stop and continued to venture deeper. After walking for more than an hour, the surrounding environment had undergone some subtle changes. The flames that were originally everywhere had clearly decreased, and the temperature had also dropped. The group walked for another ten minutes, and the valley returned to its original appearance.
As they walked, they suddenly discovered a hazy silhouette a hundred meters in front of them.
Everyone, including Lin Yun, had happy expressions on their faces. The silhouette in front of them was naturally the target of their trip to the Holy Mountain, the Tribal Chief of the Thawing Fire Tribe.
That silhouette was motionless there.
"Hmm?"
At this time, Lin Yun's Magic Array suddenly caught a wisp of a strange fluctuation and he frowned. He raised his hand and cast three Mage Eyes that quickly rose into the sky.
Then …
The scene in front of them became clear.
This was an altar emitting a simple and unadorned aura, and it was made in a mysterious style. With just a glance, Lin Yun could tell that this altar had experienced the baptism of countless years and had a special meaning to the Thawing Fire Tribe.
The Tribal Chief of the Thawing Fire Tribe was a middle-aged Raging Flame Beastman. He was currently standing on the altar, looking down at Lin Yun and the other uninvited guests. There was no change in his expression. But what interested Lin Yun wasn't the Tribal Chief.
Rather, it was something in front of the Tribal Chief.
To be more precise, it was a totem inserted into the altar. It was covered in all kinds of strange patterns that looked like the scales of a Dragon. Countless mysterious characters were carved on the surface of the totem, densely packed like tadpoles. It seemed to contain boundless mana and attracted Lin Yun's attention.
After looking at it for a few seconds, he inwardly shook his head. Those mysterious characters seemed to be the Ancient Beastman Language. Let alone a human mage like him, even some natives of the Raging Flame Plane wouldn't necessarily be able to recognize them.
These mysterious Ancient Beastman Languages were usually mastered by a few high-level Beastman Mages. It was a kind of inheritance of the Raging Flame Beastman Race.
"That's …"
A flame was burning at the top of the totem, continuously throbbing. Lin Yun couldn't help frowning when he saw that flame. He had an inexplicable feeling, as if it was alive.
He was suddenly startled by this feeling.
How could a flame be alive?
