Mo Fan’s skin burst open and bled rapidly after he collided with the Sea Skeleton King three times. His forehead, his fists, and his chest were covered in blood.

The Sea Skeleton King was a formidable enemy; it was called a Supreme Ruler for a reason! It had regained its strength even after being worn out by Mo Fan and his friends previously. It even felt to Mo Fan like its strength had continued to grow the longer the fight went on.

Mo Fan was all by himself. He constantly found himself at a disadvantage despite obtaining the Phoenix Flame.

However, there was no sign of fear in his eyes. He might be covered in blood, but his will to fight was as brilliant as the flames engulfing him.

The sky and the ground were shaking constantly from the eruptions of the volcano above Xixiong City. Lava jetted even higher into the sky, and then fireballs poured down like meteor showers, soaring past the mountains and sea with thick trails of smoke behind them.

Mo Fan was standing in the middle of the meteor shower. A drop of lava that had yet to burst into flames happened to touch his forehead.

The cuts on his forehead began healing at a visible speed after touching the lava.

Mo Fan’s heart was pounding heavily at the same time. It was transferring vigorous life force to his head!

As the rain of fire poured down on Mo Fan, the blood on his arms was like mere dye. His arms and bones healed rapidly as the flames around him grew even brighter.

His chest erupted into flames as a bright armor took shape on it, yet Mo Fan himself was surprisingly calm.

The heavy rain could never put out his flames!

“I can heal with fire, while you have lost the ability to heal with water! Do you still think you can beat me?!”

Mo Fan had fully recovered from his injuries, but the Sea Skeleton King was unable to fill the new hole in its chest with water.

He stomped the air and flew across the mist like a ray, heading straight at the Sea Skeleton King’s heart!

The Sea Skeleton King raised the water and formed a thick curtain in front of itself.

The Sea Skeleton King lost its mind when it saw Mo Fan healing himself with fire. It had never thought its precious ability would end up in a petty human’s hands! ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NovelEnglish.net

That was supposed to be its power. The tiny human had no right to steal it!

The curtain of water had almost split the world in half. On one side was the curtain of flames bursting out of the volcano and falling onto the land and the sea. Scorching lava was flowing down from the volcano like red veins, forming a spectacular basin of fire by the sea.

On the other side were the Sea Skeleton King’s destructive winds and sinister rain. The sky and the sea were dark. The Sea Skeleton King’s outline was barely visible amid the storm as it stirred up ferocious waves.

Mo Fan broke through the curtain of water recklessly. The curtain of flames behind him was serving as his army.

Mo Fan’s reckless move was surprisingly effective. The curtain of water failed to withstand the barrage of flames.

Mo Fan tore down the Sea Skeleton King’s strongest defense. He noticed the Sea Skeleton King was already covered in holes!

“Blood calls for blood!”

Mo Fan turned into a godly axe seemingly drawn out of the sun. Its blazing edge swiped at the Sea Skeleton King’s stomach with unbelievable force.

The hole on the Sea Skeleton King’s stomach was its weakest point.

Mo Fan landed a deadly hit. Not only did the hole on its stomach widen, the cracks on its other body parts were spreading now!

Sparkles of fire erupted across the Sea Skeleton King’s body. Its black water was trying to fend off Mo Fan’s Phoenix Flame, but it failed to resist Mo Fan’s attack this time.

If Mo Fan had not had the ability to heal with fire, the Sea Skeleton King would have killed him several times by now, even if he had obtained a stronger flame. This was the strength of the Phoenix Flame!

Dripping water could penetrate a stone. Even the tiny bites of ants could tear down a dam, let alone the Phoenix Flame, which was on par with the Sea Skeleton King’s sorcery.

Mo Fan was determined to kill the Sea Skeleton King. The creature had only crushed him once. He had no reason to be afraid of it anymore.

The Four-Eyed Bird had remained at the bottom of the cold sea for thousands of years just waiting for its rebirth. His hardship and determination were nothing in comparison.

The burning axe hewed at the Sea Skeleton King once again. The knockback caused Mo Fan great pain every time it struck the Sea Skeleton King’s bones, but he was treating it as simply another form of tempering.

He was like a piece of metal. He needed more than heat to be refined further. He had to be tempered over and over again!

The near-death experience had taught Mo Fan that he needed to be stronger!

The rain of lava was following behind Mo Fan like his own personal army. Every time Mo Fan slashed at the Sea Skeleton King, the flames would take the shape of the Four-Eyed Bird and its blazing feathers.

The Japanese reporter happened to capture Mo Fan’s impressive appearance.

Thousands of Four-Eyed Birds were diving from the volcanic ashes that had covered the sky. They surged across the land, mountain, and sea angrily under the command of the man who was engulfed in armor made out of flames.

The Sea Skeleton King was severely injured by the burning axe, and its water-formed body evaporated quickly in the flames of the Four-Eyed Birds. Its shattered bones were soon scattered across Xixiong City, like the debris of a collapsing mountain.

The Supreme Ruler that had acted as the vanguard of the kingdom of sea monsters and given the Magic City a miserable defeat had finally fallen!

The people were not relieved yet, as they knew the Sea Skeleton King had the ability to come back alive. It would rise again when the waves of black seawater returned. The waves would reform its bones and body.

To their surprise, the Sea Skeleton King did not rise again. The black water had vanished. The huge and hideous skeleton was lying there perfectly still.

It was as still as the land. The godly birds had even melted its Undead soul!

The reporters held their breath as they continued broadcasting the scene.

Only those who were familiar with the recent battle in the Magic City were aware of how formidable the Sea Skeleton King was, but the mysterious man had slain it in Xixiong City!

Japan was under heavy attack from the sea monsters because it was an island. Its people bore a strong hatred for the sea monsters, but there was nothing they could do to get back at them.

They were finally able to vent some of their anger at the sea monsters after witnessing the death of the Sea Skeleton King. It gave them confidence, courage, and excitement.

The sea monsters were not unbeatable!

If they dared to mess with humans, humans would make them pay with their lives!

——

A huge uproar exploded in the Magic City, like the countdown of a new year.

It was dead! The Sea Skeleton King was finally dead!

It had been like a demonic shadow looming over the city. The people had to breathe carefully, while the soldiers could feel a tingling sourness in their throats at the mention of its name.

But now, someone had slain it!

The man had chased the Sea Skeleton King all the way from the East China Sea to Japan. Everyone was touched by his determination!

Most importantly. he had avenged their fallen comrades of the Magic City!

They were no longer holding their ground helplessly.. They were declaring a war against the sea monsters with pride, claiming they would hunt down every single one of the sea monsters’ elites for the pain they had inflicted on their soldiers!
