Elfa used the Elemental Contract, his power surging.

"Undying Fire Phoenix!"

Empowered by the Elemental Contract.

The Undying Fire Phoenix doubled in size.

Under Elfa’s control, the Undying Fire Phoenix gathered its power and unleashed its full might.

"Phoenix Fire Line!"

A thick pillar of fire struck Nitro.

Nitro raised its arm to block the attack. The fur on its arm was quickly scorched, turning to charcoal and flaking off.

Li Wei’s eyes lit up. ’A good chance!’

His gaze sharpened as he activated the Basic Level Flame Rule.

He ignited the fur on Nitro’s body.

The most troublesome thing about the beast was this coat of fur, which possessed extremely high Defense Power and Magic Resistance.

As he activated the Flame Rule, Li Wei felt an intensely strong gaze upon him.

Although he couldn’t see Nitro’s eyes clearly, Li Wei could feel it watching him.

WHOOSH!

Flames erupted on Nitro’s body.

BOOM!

The Phoenix Fire Line pierced through Nitro’s left arm, leaving a charred, black hole.

The remaining power hit Nitro’s chest, but could only barely break through its defenses, posing no real threat.

Under the influence of the Flame Rule, the fur on Nitro’s body began to burn.

The burning speed was relatively slow.

The purple energy bands on Nitro’s body flared.

An icy chill rose from its entire body.

Li Wei’s heart went cold; he sensed a power similar to that of a Rule.

The icy chill dispersed, and the flames on Nitro’s body were extinguished.

The two purple energy bands on its body also dimmed considerably.

"Dimension Slash!"

A pitch-black spatial rift slashed across Nitro’s left arm.

Severing the injured limb.

THUD!

The thick, three-fingered left arm fell to the ground with a dull thud.

This was the first time the crowd had managed to inflict significant damage on Nitro.

Everyone’s faces lit up with excitement.

"Whoa! We hurt it!"

"Dimension Slash is the best!"

"Quick, attack its wound!"

The mages all began casting Magic, launching attacks at Nitro.

It was a classic case of kicking a man while he’s down.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Suddenly, everyone felt an abnormal cold.

Even Li Wei couldn’t help but shiver.

Looking up, they saw ice and snow falling from the sky.

"Frozen Ice Seal!"

With Nitro at the center, frost spread out in all directions, freezing everything in its path.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

In the frigid wind, everyone was turned into an ice sculpture.

BANG!

Elfa shattered his ice sculpture and walked out.

He exhaled a puff of white air and looked into the distance. Nitro’s figure had already vanished.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

A moment later, the others also broke free from their icy prisons one after another.

Li Wei released a Fireball, letting it hang high above the crowd to melt the solid ice.

He added a trace of the Flame Rule into the Fireball.

This accelerated the melting of the ice.

Li Wei glanced in the direction where Nitro had disappeared.

Nitro’s final ultimate attack had been imbued with the Basic Level Ice Rule.

That’s how it was able to instantly freeze everyone and seal several thousand meters of land in ice.

Ever since Nitro had turned blue, Li Wei had sensed a special aura about it.

It seemed his perception hadn’t been wrong—it was the aura of a Rule.

If Nitro continued to devour Purple Star Stones, its power would increase further, and its Rule Power would grow even stronger.

Then it would likely become very difficult for them to handle.

Rule Power can only be countered by another Rule.

Very few people at Tiers Four and Five could grasp Rule Power.

Even a Tier Six Mage might not necessarily have mastered the Power of Rules.

Li Wei looked at the spot where Nitro’s severed arm had fallen, feeling it was a pity.

The severed arm was gone.

Nitro must have taken it.

The Alchemists hurriedly collected the fur, blood, skin, and other things Nitro had dropped on the battlefield.

They could use these materials to create a Secret Medicine specifically designed to counter Nitro.

The next time they encountered Nitro, they would not be so passive.

After discussing amongst themselves, a few people from the crowd headed to the strait where Nitro had appeared to investigate.

Li Wei was among them.

He flew in mid-air, looking toward the strait between the two islands. The seawater was pitch-black and bottomless.

Gazing at the sea’s surface below, everyone had different thoughts.

After they dispersed, Li Wei created an Illusory Body to enter the sea and investigate.

In less than three minutes, he lost contact with the Illusory Body.

Just before losing contact, Li Wei saw the Illusory Body being swallowed by a massive, gaping maw.

Besides the terrifying Ancient Calamity Beast Nitro, the sea was also home to a large number of gigantic Sea Beasts.

The Levels of these Sea Beasts were generally around Tiers Four and Five.

This might also be the reason Nitro lived in the sea.

The Sea Beasts could provide it with a sufficient source of food.

The Magic Beasts on the island weren’t even enough to get stuck in the teeth of the twenty-meter-tall Nitro.

Only giant Sea Beasts, easily tens or even hundreds of meters long, could satisfy Nitro’s appetite.

Seeing the sea was full of danger, Li Wei didn’t risk going deeper.

Not long after Li Wei left, people came one after another to explore the strait.

But they all came up empty-handed.

Some managed to avoid the Sea Beasts and venture deep into the strait, but still found no trace of Nitro.

No one knew where Nitro had gone.

Li Wei returned to the arena where Eiris was.

Seeing fresh traces of battle around, Li Wei showed a look of surprise. "Someone came?"

Eiris nodded. "Yeah. While you were fighting the Ancient Calamity Beast, a group of people went around attacking and seizing arenas."

"People from the Summoning Tower?"

Li Wei scanned the surroundings, noticing a lot of Magic Beast fur, Scales, and bloodstains left on the arena.

Eiris nodded and said, "That’s right. They probably also felt there was no hope in dealing with the Ancient Calamity Beast and wanted to take the opportunity to snatch up more arenas."

"Luckily, the Summoner I ran into wasn’t very strong. I dealt with him."

Li Wei walked over to a clean rock and sat down.

"Let’s rest for a while. We’ll figure things out at dawn."

After Nitro disappeared, the night gradually quieted down.

The occasional sound of battle from afar proved that not everyone intended to pass the night peacefully.

Fortunately, Li Wei and Eiris were not attacked during the second half of the night.

WHOOSH!

A salty, damp sea breeze blew past, and Li Wei gazed into the distance.

A white line appeared on the horizon where the sea met the sky.

Half an hour later, the nascent sun rose from the sea, illuminating the world.

After Li Wei and Eiris shared breakfast, they discussed their next move.

"Alright, it’s decided then. We’ll split up and get as many Points as possible over the next two days. We’ll meet up on the last day to seize and hold an arena."

Just as Li Wei finished speaking.

Eiris’s expression changed slightly.

He cast the Frozen Sound Transmission Technique. His lips moved as if he were saying something.

Li Wei couldn’t hear anything. His eyes flickered as he asked, "What’s wrong?"

A moment later, Eiris looked at Li Wei and replied, "Someone from the Elemental Tower has been eliminated."

Li Wei wasn’t surprised. "Isn’t that normal?"

Eiris’s expression was grave as he said, "The key thing is, three people were eliminated at the same time."

Li Wei looked shocked. "How did that happen?"

"Even if they ran into a powerful enemy, it’s impossible for three people to be eliminated at the exact same time, right?"

"What on earth happened to them?"

Eiris said, "It’s not clear yet. Elfa has already sent people to investigate."
