Black flames rushed out of the dueling arena. From the perspective of the camp, the entire dueling arena looked as if it had been torn apart by a spell.
The adepts that remained in the camp had no time to react at all. They were dazed by the sound of the explosion. The sudden explosion caused blood to flow out of their ears as they stared blankly at the black flames that had suddenly risen in the direction of the dueling arena.
With a loud bang, a huge shadow shrouded the sky.
Including the Harris box, which had a very obvious color, all the boxes on the half of the auditorium where it was located flew into the air. The spectator seats that they were originally in collapsed. Even the black flames could not cover up the smoke and dust that rose into the sky.
Due to the protection of the mageweaths, these boxes were basically intact. However, even so, they were still blown up by the impact of the huge flames and explosion. They flew into the air and crashed into the buildings in the sky outside the Duel Arena before bouncing off and falling diagonally downwards.
The black flames that erupted engulfed the surrounding buildings, causing them to fall apart. The sound of explosions could be heard everywhere. Even the tall water towers and the water in the huge tanks were ignited like combustible objects when they came into contact with the black Greek flames. The flames continued to spread and engulf the water, turning it into nothingness.
The adepts around the dueling arena had no time to react. They were instantly devoured by the black flames that were like giant waves.
Most of the adepts that were further away reacted in time and tried to cast magic to protect themselves. However, in the face of the endless black flames that blotted out the sky and covered the earth, they were pitifully small. They could not hold on for long before they were devoured by the black flames.
Only the adepts that were further away and at the end of the black flames' attack range relied on their own defensive magic to deal with the scattered black flames in the sky. Only then were they able to preserve their lives.
The camp was in chaos. The adepts ran in all directions, screaming as they tried to hide.
The adepts that were burned by the flames wailed in pain as they rolled on the ground, trying to put out the flames on their bodies. However, unless they were strong enough to endure the pain and cast a spell, it was useless. Some of the adepts that were burned struggled to reach out their hands, wanting to ask for help from the adepts around them. However, most of the adepts around them only cared about running for their lives. Only a few of them were willing to help. Some of the victims who were burned by the flames accidentally set the people around them on fire while trying to put out the flames.
Not far away, the floating ships that flew from the floating city were quietly stationed near the camp that was relatively close to the dueling arena. These floating ships were loaded with reinforcements for Aura and the armed forces. In fact, not long after they arrived, they saw the scene of the dueling arena exploding.
According to the original order, many of the higher-ups of the floating city knew that there would be an assassination attempt today. They were originally sent here to deal with Jessica's report and pretend that they did not know. However, the sudden fire made these floating ships seem very timely.
Although the fiercest momentum had ended, the raging black flames were still raging. Although they were not as intelligent as Li Huo, they were still unable to immediately approach the dueling arena in a short period of time. Therefore, these elite forces immediately reported to the higher-ups. Some of them re-boarded the ships and tried to use vehicles to approach the dueling arena, while the others directly went to organize the evacuation and rescue of the injured adepts.
Because she was worried about Ian, Jessica also rushed over with one of the armed forces. She also joined the rescue team. The Curled Winged Demon that Ian sent to report the news was sitting on her shoulder. However, she was not in a good state now. Just now, Jessica saw a wizard who was covered in Greek Fire reaching out to her for help. The wizard's miserable screams and tragic situation made Jessica feel pity for him. She reached out her wand to help him extinguish the burning flames. However, she did not expect that the wizard, who was in despair and extremely tense, would slap her face. The Greek Fire's fuel and the black flames instantly ignited one side of her face.
Even though the flames didn't spread under the protection of her peers, the half of her face that was touched by the flames had black, rotten flesh curling up. This made half of her face look fair and beautiful, while the other half of her face that was burned looked extremely sinister and twisted.
The Order of the Phoenix was generally lucky. In order to check on the Tonks, they had already left the dueling arena before the explosion. Only Moody, who had a wooden prosthetic leg, was not able to move freely. The splashing Greek Fire's prosthetic leg and his originally intact leg were ignited one after another. Fortunately, Hester Jones pulled him out and he was receiving treatment from Kingsley.
Other than that, only Sirius of the Order of the Phoenix immediately began to run back to the dueling arena after the explosion.
The loud noise coming from the dueling arena forced him to use his loud voice to remind the wizards to evacuate as soon as possible. The Greek Fire that had been spewing out along the way had basically stopped spreading. From time to time, there would be splashes of Greek Fire from some gathering places. Once the Greek Fire touched a person's body, it would be difficult to extinguish it unless magic was used.
Although it was dangerous, many ordinary wizards made the same choice as Sirius. Many of their relatives and friends were in the dueling arena. Some of the weaker wizards even chose to cry in pain, unwilling to leave the dangerous place.
At this time, in the dueling arena after the explosion, the building above Harris' box had disappeared. The foundation below had also been blown into a deep pit. All the seats around the box had been shattered. Even the railings and handrails made of steel and solid metal had been melted by the black flame. The sand on the ground that had been spewed out by the black flame had also melted into shiny glass.
All the surrounding buildings had been flattened by the powerful black flame and explosion. Yes, there was not a single trace left behind. In the distance, the buildings that had been blown away by the black flame had been reduced to ruins. Only the pillars that remained stubbornly proved that something had once existed here.
From time to time, the sound of explosions could be heard. The sparks from the black flame were still tirelessly devouring everything, as if they were unwilling to leave the area and wanted to continue burning everything that could be ignited.
On the ground in front of Harris' box, there was a large circular shield of silver-blue energy that Luna had once cast in the Underworld. Harris and some of the people close to Harris were shrouded in it. There was also a similar shield in the center of the dueling arena. In a hurry, Allen had also rescued a group of contestants.
Most of the wizards in the shield seemed to be a little frightened, but they were safe and sound. Only the wizards at the edge of the shield, who were too far away from Luna and Allen, were inevitably burned and injured by the surging flames before they were pulled into the shield, even if they did not come into direct contact with the flames.
At this moment, the Spanish contestant, Francisco, who could transform into an Animagus, was exuding the aroma of roasted beef. He was not unable to transform back into his human form, but he was using the physique of a bull to resist the burns. The Japanese witch's magic robe that was emitting golden light was burnt away, and her exposed skin was densely covered with large blisters caused by the flames. Her hair was burned into a ball, and she sat on the ground with her head lowered. Her slender eyebrows were looking at the fan in her hand that had turned into a mirror. Her originally porcelain-white and delicate skin was now rotten beyond recognition. There was almost no skin on her face that was intact, and even her red lips were curled and twisted. As for the black African wizard who summoned the Turbo Warthog, this was the whitest he had ever been in his life. The location of the dueling arena where he stood just now was close to Harris' box, where the most violent explosion occurred. Because of that, it happened to be out of reach of Luna and Allen in an instant. So now, he and his warthog were only left with some white ashes in the world.
