Chapter 349: Volume 6: Cautious Planning Chapter 8: Earth Dragon Warrior_3

"Then Mr. Wollin, please instruct your men to deploy as I suggest," Komer finally revealed his plan. "These ogres have been entangled with the Noble Warriors for so long that their edge has dulled. However, if I attack with magic, these brutes will surely fight to the death. At that point, I will intermittently reveal a gap, allowing these Magical Beasts to charge out in batches. Mr. Wollin, Ilot, and the two Earth Dragon Warriors can use their weapons to launch attacks, targeting their weak spots for a one-hit kill!" With this, Komer intended to use Wollin and Ilot’s attacks as feints, while the real killing blow would come from the Dragon Lance Thrust of the Earth Dragon Warriors.

Wollin finally accepted Komer’s suggestion, realizing that the Ogre’s assault was growing more ferocious by the moment. If they delayed any longer, there was a significant risk that these brutes would break through, the consequences of which were unthinkable. Wollin had no confidence that he could resolve the issue alone, and Komer’s proposal was an excellent opportunity to consolidate all their strength. Of course, this depended on the extent of the Magic Lord’s mastery over his Magic Skills.

With a gentle wave of the left hand holding the wand, and a seemingly feeble touch of the fingertips of the right hand clasped together, he whispered as if from the underworld, "Serpent Dance of the Nine Netherworlds, my heart remains steadfast, Fire Phantom, without precedence or succession! God of Nature, I swear by the name of Minto, may the natural elements incarnate all things, and grant your faithful follower this power!"

Komer’s proficiency in this Ultimate Fire Magic spell had improved immeasurably since his first use in repelling the Gray Wolf attack, and his growing magic power meant he no longer had any concerns about casting this high-level Fire Magic. Though the spell still drained a considerable amount of Komer’s magic power, at least now he didn’t have to fear a Magic Power Rebound. Fire Magic had always been Komer’s forte in Elemental Magic. While performing the "Golden Snake Dance," Komer even overlaid it with "Elemental Storm," a large-scale supportive spell. Although "Elemental Storm" wasn’t high in rank, it was a highly practical spell for accumulating elements, capable of drawing a vast amount of elements from space in a short time. Without a main spell to partner with, "Elemental Storm" would be pointless, but if any other Elemental Magic was cast simultaneously, "Elemental Storm" would greatly enhance the attacking power of that Elemental Magic.

A two-meter diameter ring of fire slowly ascended and tumbled in the air, the sky blue flames transforming into a golden luminous flame due to the frantic gathering of a massive amount of fire elements, as if even the air was ablaze. The Fire Ring continued to expand, and under the direction of Komer’s magic wand, swiftly moved above the tightly formed defense perimeter. Although prepared, the Barbarian Warriors, who had never seen such a phenomenon resembling a natural wonder, couldn’t help but become noisy. In the hearts of these warriors who worshipped the spirits of nature, such a miracle was impossible to be performed by a single person; only a God or a God’s messenger could enact such wonders. This was also the important reason Komer chose to display his significant magic power, preempting the Barbarian’s strongmen with a demonstration of his strength, to gain an advantage in future negotiations with the Barbarians, and to deepen the image of himself as a celestial being in their minds.

Komer’s "Golden Snake Dance" caused a moment of panic among the Barbarian Warriors, but fortunately, the disruption was brief. The Ogres, which could have used this opportunity to launch a surprise attack, were also captivated by the anomaly in the sky, and with that, their last chance to escape was lost. The enormous Fire Ring slowly enveloped the Ogres from above. At this moment, the Ogres felt the heavenly punishment bearing down on them. Facing this unstoppable force of nature, they became frantic and confused, not knowing how to respond. Aside from futile attempts to dodge, with their limited intelligence, they could not conceive any strategy to counter the attack. Meanwhile, the Barbarian Warriors, reinvigorated by the sight, continually compressed their encirclement, leaving the Ogres no chance to escape the descending Fire Ring.

As the Fire Ring slowly descended to just five meters above the ground, with a short, sharp whistle from Wollin, the Barbarian Soldiers who received their orders withdrew swiftly in unison. In that instant, the Fire Ring plummeted down, crashing to the ground and enveloping the unprepared Ogres within. Upon hitting the ground, flames madly surged upward, shooting up over three meters high, plunging the entire encapsulated area into a realm of light and shadow.

Agonizing howls once again echoed across the plains, but the Barbarian Warriors’ encirclement dared not relax in the slightest. These Ogres, freakishly strong to the point of aberration, far exceeded any Magical Beasts the Barbarians had previously clashed with, especially considering their intelligence. Tactics normally reserved for Human combat—deception, diversion, and coordinated strikes—were being used against them by these Beasts, inspiring fear. Fortunately, they still had magic, a pinnacle of human intellect that these Beasts had yet to master. At best, they could use their bodies’ innate magic properties to inflict damage, but they couldn’t draw upon the powers of the natural world to enhance their abilities. Otherwise, this world would have long since become a realm ruled by Magical Beasts.
