Very few of the double mutated monsters would possess a forbidden skill. Such a skill was different from the rest as it would normally have rather harsh conditions of using it and many of them even left side effects on the users.
The Fire Phoenix’s fire skill could only be used once after having accumulated flame energy for more than a hundred years. Despite the fact that it had immense power, it was somehow restricted from using it simply by environmental factors.
This was because the forbidden skill relied on the absorption of external heat energy to generate its power. It would become more powerful in places with an adequate supply of heat energy. On the contrary, in regions with extremely low temperatures, the attack would do nothing to its opponent as the effect would be even worse than an ordinary skill.
However, there was an ocean of lava and hundreds of volcanoes around where Fire Phoenix was releasing its Fire. The heat energy was sufficient to activate its Fire Spark to its maximum state. Such an attack could cover up to an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers.
Other than Lin Huang, Yi Yeyu and Li Lang who were both on top of the volcano, others would definitely not be able to escape.
Although Li Lang had never actually read the monster guide, he knew the impact that the Fire Phoenix’s forbidden skill could cause. Of course, Yi Yeyu knew everything about it since the Fire Phoenix was her target and she had done the relevant research earlier.
Seeing that Fire Spark was being released, both of their minds went blank instantaneously.
“The forbidden Fire Spark skill…How could this happen? According to the records, the Fire Phoenix will not simply use its forbidden skill…” Yi Yeyu was stunned.
“The distance is too short. It’s impossible to escape. Right after the spark is unsealed, it’ll expand to its maximum state in less than 10 seconds. Then, the entire region around it stretching out to more than 10,000 square kilometers will be flattened,” sighed Li Lang as he shook his head helplessly, “I’ve never expected to die here…”
Right at that moment, although Lin Huang was surrounded by flames, he could still observe the Fire Phoenix’s movement mid-air through his Dark Shield .
The golden beam of light that was as small as a firefly seemed to be insignificant. However, Lin Huang’s facial expression changed the moment he saw it.
“I said it too soon.” He was stunned for a short while before he contacted the Sanguine Skeletal Spirit in his mind.
“I don’t care if it’ll discover this or not. Let’s take action now!”Lin Huang instructed without any hesitation. Initially, he wanted the Sanguine Skeletal Spirit to only attack when the Fire Phoenix was not aware of it. However, the situation did not allow them to wait any longer.
The Fire Phoenix extended its claws into the air and grasped the Fire Spark , tearing apart the layer of a seal to release it.
At that very moment, countless Punishment Chains emerged from the lava and tore across the sky towards the Fire Phoenix.
The Punishment Chains reached its maximum speed as it arrived behind the Fire Phoenix in just an instant.
However, the Fire Phoenix seemed to have sensed that something was wrong. It immediately fluttered its wings and instantly rocketed hundreds of meters higher so that it could avoid getting ambushed by the Punishment Chains .
“Dammit!” Lin Huang’s heart immediately sank.
On top of the volcano, Yi Yeyu and Li Lang thought that there was hope the moment when they saw the appearance of Punishment Chains. However, the Fire Phoenix successfully dodged the attack and their smiles instantly turned stiff.
“We’re finished, we’re doomed!” Li Lang wrung his hands as he dared not look at the outcome of the battle anymore.
All of a sudden, a chain appeared without any signs and the Fire Spark got entangled in it, drawing it into the pool of lava at lightning fast speed.
It was so sudden that even the Fire Phoenix could not respond, just able to watch its Fire Spark being snatched away.
“Hehehehe…” As maniacal laughter was heard, the Sanguine Skeletal Spirit gradually emerged from the lava with the half sealed golden spark in his big palm.
“Stupid bird, thank you for the gift!” The Sanguine Skeletal Spirit was being mean as he teased the Fire Phoenix mercilessly.
“Go f*ck yourself!” The Fire Phoenix yelled, fluttering its wings as it gave up fighting Lin Huang and pounced on the Sanguine Skeletal Spirit.
“Hehe, it’s too late to snatch it from me now,” said the Sanguine Skeletal Spirit with a vague smile. It inserted the half-sealed spark into his blue eyes without hesitation.
The very next moment, a notification from Xiao Hei came in.
“Congratulations, Epic Monster Card – Sanguine Skeletal Spirit has obtained a new skill – Flare ”
Lin Huang was stunned as he heard that. He had never expected the Sanguine Skeletal Spirit to seize its skill this way and in such an instance.
“I thought that only a monster of the same type can seize another monster’s skill?” Lin Huang mumbled in a low voice curiously.
“Not necessarily. If the skill is powerful enough, it can be seized by a monster of the same element too.” Soon, Bloody’s comment came into Lin Huang’s mind, reminding him that he had not recalled Bloody yet.
Seeing that the Fire Phoenix and the Sanguine Skeletal Spirit had collided with each other, Lin Huang started having a headache. “Although Bloody Robe has snatched away its Fire Spark and resolved the situation, I’ve completely lost the chance to seal the Fire Phoenix with the Punishment Chains, so Yi Yeyu cannot kill it as planned…” he thought to himself.
“If there’s no chance, we can create the opportunity. The Sanguine Skeletal Spirit will be unable to defeat Fire Phoenix but you can still call on the Nephilic Judge to control and seal it,” Bloody suggested.
“That’s the only choice we have. It should be fine for it to leave Tyrant’s side for a short while…” Lin Huang knew that among all his monster cards, only the Sanguine Skeletal Spirit and Kylie the Nephilic Judge were on white flame-level. They were capable of fighting in the air and with their abilities, they could fight the Fire Phoenix for a short period of time. In comparison, the combat strength of the other monsters was slightly weaker and most of them could not fly. They would only be dominated by the Fire Phoenix if they were to fight it, slowing Kylie and Bloody Robe down instead.
Since Lin Huang could not fly or launch distance attacks on the Fire Phoenix at all and the effect from his ranged attacks would be limited, even if he joined the fight, he could only distract the Fire Phoenix and do nothing else.
“It seems like I’ve to learn a skill for ranged attack or get a monster skill for it. Otherwise, I’ll have to get a firearm relic and complement it with a gunfighting secret skill.” Lin Huang thought determinedly.
Seeing that the flames outside the Dark Shield had subsided, Lin Huang recalled Kylie the Nephilic Judge back into her card form without hesitation and soon, she was summoned again.
Kylie had shrunk in her silver armor, stunning Yi Yeyu and Li Lang, who could only recognize her after a few seconds.
Lin Huang’s Dark Shield had disappeared and he gave Kylie a new instruction, “Kylie, please help Bloody Robe to control the Fire Phoenix and complete the punishment seal on the Fire Phoenix.”
Kylie took a glance at Lin Huang. Without saying anything, she flapped her wings and disappeared…
