.....

Melinda turned around after taking care of her skin, looking serious, "Be careful. The Fiery World is the Blazing Flame Monarch's nest. Most of the fire elementals at Morning Star and Radiant Moon are stationed here. If not for having to suppress the rebellion of the fire elemental particles and the pressure from the world, he would long since have sent these elementals to the Magus World."

Leylin and the other nodded. How many Morning Stars and Radiant Moons could a world produce? If they went over to the Magus World, they could probably cause a huge ruckus.

However, there was an issue with this as well. Not considering their duties as guards of Fiery World, a change of environment and the additional suppression from being inside another world were large issues.

The Magus World was one of the most powerful worlds, and its suppression of foreigners would be one of the most terrifying. A drop in several ranks would be considered slight. The unlucky ones would directly be crushed by the world origin force itself, joining the boundless dust in the void.

For Leylin and the rest, going from the Magus World to other worlds was like going from a high-ranked dungeon to a lower-ranked one. The suppression of the world wasn't that serious, and there wouldn't be instances of drops in rank. Things weren't as rosy for those who went from lower-ranked worlds to higher-ranked ones.

Leylin was only able to shield his followers by binding them in the harshest of contracts ensuring that beings from other world won't be crushed to smithereens.

"The Blazing Flame Monarch is hiding in one of the world cracks of the Fiery World. There are many maze spells as well as powerhouses of the Fiery World guarding it. There are many rank 4 and 5 fire elementals, and this is a world where they get the greatest increase in strength. They'll outperform themselves." Melinda spoke slowly, and the the rest looked grim.

From the sideline Leylin also appeared glum but deep inside he was quite chill at the prospect of fresh sentient force.

Obviously It would be hellishly difficult to defeat large numbers of Morning Stars and Radiant Moons in a hostile environment and then butt heads with the Blazing Flame Monarch who was at rank 6 but for Leylin who can absorb their energy from the corpse and recover instantly it isn't much of an issue.

Actually, Leylin at his current level isn't really fulfilled by average Morning Star and Radiant Moon so they are mostly snacks and nothing more, he won't mind killing them but he would also not go out of his way to destroy them specifically.

"Don't worry. When the Monarch massacred my people, I vowed to the astral plane that I would use his blood and wash away the humiliation!" Clarke brandished the large black sword in his hands, terrifying sharpness exploding, "My baby is also thirsting for blood"

"No matter what brother does, I'll be supporting you!" Joanna looked towards her brother.

"Morning Star and Radiant Moon fire elementals are nothing much KekeI'm having more expectations towards the Blazing Flame Monarch's comprehension of Laws" The blurry phantom of Jin snickered.

"Let's go we are wasting good time!" Leylin chuckled, caressing his glove. The lether surface of the regal snow white glove was smooth, with a slight bluish flames dancing visibly underneath them, there was also an intoxicating red energy around it covering the stitches of the exquisite glove.

"Many thanks, everyone! We'll definitely win this time, and the rewards will definitely satisfy you! Please wait for a while, I'll use a technique to look for the spatial crack that the Blazing Flame Monarch is hiding in!"

Melinda's eyes suddenly changed colour, her pupils shrinking and disappearing to leave just the whites behind.

"Found it!" All of a sudden, Melinda opened her palm and a purple daffodil floated out of it. It gave off endless energy waves. Space was pulled apart like a door, revealing a pitch black tunnel.

'She is even faster than me, sure enough a thousand years old existence have lots of methods.' Leylin was slightly astonished, but he followed her in anyways.

Light flashed and space rumbled, and Leylin and the rest instantly appeared outside a world crack. Within, the Fiery World was like a blazing sun, filled with dazzling rays of light.

A large-scaled labyrinth floated outside the world barrier, as if the highest ruler of the Fiery World.

Outside the black building, many eyes flickered with various lights. They were Morning Star elementals. Even more powerful auras were transmitted from within.

Everyone even felt like he was being spied on, causing their hair to stand.

Joanna sucked in a cold breath, "Such a complicated labyrinth, and so many fire elementals. This will be difficult"

"Now is the best opportunity to kill our target!" Melinda did not take another glance at Joanna. "This is the Alanore Labyrinth. Each Magus that enters will be sent to different areas, and we'll only be able to meet again in the main hall. I'll be off!"

Melinda turned into a streak of lightning, and practically in an instant broke out of the perimeter of the fire elementals as she disappeared into the labyrinth.

"Haha Blazing Flame Monarch, here I come! Tremble! Repent! I want you to pay the price for all that you've done!" Clarke's expression was excited to the extreme as he waved his terrifying large black blade and charged in.

*Schlick!* A three-headed giant fire elemental dog in his way was slashed into two, boiling lava blood flying everywhere. Seeing her brother this way, Joanna sighed and followed closely behind him.

"I hate elemental life forms the most. The lack of souls will cause my works of art lose their beauty!"

Jin muttered to himself, turning into a large black shadow that covered practically half the labyrinth. The black figure began to pervade through the insides.

'I should join too, the Blazing Flame Monarch would definitely not sit quietly there is no sense in delaying.' Leylin looked at a particular direction with his shrewd eyes. A small amount of red energy pulsed through his body covering it with an invisible veil as he decided to act.

*Hss* A tremendous Gaint Kemoyin Serpent appeared behind Leylin, and a terrifying jaw formed that exerted a tremendous force on the fire elementals.

"Destroy!" The terrifying might of the Kemoyin Serpent blew everything into oblivion, be it flames, light, or even space itself.

The fire elementals began to bawl miserably, looking ready to retreat. However, their bodies were constantly being mashed, and they were eventually disintegrated. There was a clear path in the space when Leylin moved.

The five Radiant Moons had successfully broken through the outer layer and entered the interior of the labyrinth. Powerful auras could be felt occasionally from its various parts.

...

At the heart of the gigantic labyrinth, on a throne of pure gold.

A human figure shrouded completely in flames raised their head, a translucent mirror forming in front of them.

Footage flashed, showing Leylin and the others. The Blazing Flame Monarch's eyes constantly twinkled as they scanned past Leylin, Clarke, and the rest. Their eyes rested on Jin's body for a brief moment before focusing completely on Melinda.

"The power of fate has brought everything back to its original trajectory," the Blazing Flame Monarch murmured, two red figures splitting from his form and darting in different directions

....

The numbers on the screen of the A.I. Chip were in constant flux until it came up with a conclusion.

[Beep! Scan completed. Determined to be the first level of the Alanore Labyrinth. 7300m ahead, high-grade energy has been detected, determined to be a rank 5 being. Possibility of it being a fire elemental: 87.18%.]

"Better than a Morning Star, it might help me stretch a few muscles." Leylin was now walking along a large and wide passageway that was tens of metres high. It looked like an area made specifically for giants, and he seemed minuscule in it.

"The confining runes are great, I don't think I can break them without probably analyzing and using forceful means, till then teleportation is also off limits!" Leylin shook his head. Any loopholes or gaps that can be taken advantage of have been plugged. One can only move forward step by step with momentum!

Leylin touched his chin, The blue light in his eyes did not weaken. The A.I. Chip's scanning ability had been employed to its limit.

This maze-like structure had completely split the five of them apart. Even if one wanted to search for and make contact with their companions, there would be no response. The Blazing Flame Monarch would be a fool not to take advantage of this and attack his enemies when they were divided.

Hence, besides being cautious of traps and obstacles, one was very focused on the possible attacks from the Flame Monarch.

*Rumble!* Boiling heat waves blew towards Leylin as he walked out of the passage, and a gigantic lava volcano appeared before him.

White air bubbles constantly exploded in the area, giving off a very strong smell of sulphur.

The area of volcano was stretched as far as the eye could see, into the boundless red horizon.

'Interesting place.' Leylin's eyes focused on the volcano, seemingly penetrating through the thick lava and into its depths.

"Stop hiding!" he said with a smile on his lips as a gigantic crimson figure abruptly darted into the crater, splashing around at will. The lava exploded, crashing down everywhere like rain. The figure grew in size as it suddenly emerged from the bottom of the magma, revealing terrifying body similar to that of an ogre.

*Roarrrr!* The Ogre in front of Leylin had flames burning all over it. Droplets of scarlet lava dripped down from its scales and cracks constantly, its thin body still enormous. Its sinister looking teeth were set in a large mouth, above which were two scarlet soul flames.

'A.I. Chip, conduct scan!' Leylin ordered without hesitation.

[Beep! Ember Titan Emperor, rank 5 being! It is an elemental life form. Strength: 251 Agility: 121? Vitality: 459? Spiritual force: 1535 ? A unique resident of the Fiery World, it is a rare mutation among hundreds of Morning Star fire elementals, allowing it to be a commander. Innate abilities: 1. Fire Affinity, 2: Fire Skin, 3: Fire Elemental Summon, 4:....]

The A.I. Chip quickly projected a 3D image of a large Ember Titan Emperor in front of him. Beside the image was also a column with data in it that presented the opponent's statistics in detail.

"It has good strength!" The figure of a Kemoyin Serpent appeared behind Leylin.

"Roarrr!" The Ember Titan Emperor snarled, and four dark red disgusting bundles of light separated from its body, falling into the lava around.

Dark red bundles of light constantly expanded and eventually exploded, revealing four fire elemental life forms that had strange forms. Each of them had energy undulations that were at least at Morning Star.

*Swish* Scarlet energy channels appeared at the Ember Titan Emperor's legs, and the magma level of the volcano rose as it erupted and the flowing lava was absorbed by the new summons. With the absorption of a large amount of lava, the toll on it from having a few subordinates separating from it had completely disappeared.

It's a summoning spell that allows it to split up into beings with Morning Star strength, and it even has methods to replenish its energy!

Leylin stroked his chin, "For someone who isn't very adapted to fire, this is a very troublesome opponent but sadly you are just a slight nuisance for someone like me, let me humor you for now."

*Roar!* The four Morning Star fire elementals charged out at this moment, accompanied by the enraged howls of the Ember Titan Emperor

"Noah Era Tide!" Leylin spread his hands and icy blue water gushed out formed a tide, submerging two Morning Star fire elemental.

"Frost Lance!" At the same time, a sparkling giant ball of ice exploded in the air, and snow lances fell everywhere, even causing the temperature of the lava lake to drop by a few degrees.

The remaining two fire elementals that were attacking were hit by the lance and covered by a layer of frost, solidifying and fusing with the ground. They were completely frozen.

[Warning! Warning! Energy in the opposing fire elemental's body has violent undulations, determined to be on the verge of self-detonation. Host, please take note.]

The A.I. Chip's prompt caused Leylin's shake his head. At this moment, the sounds of the Ember Titan Emperor's roars were transmitted over.

*Awoo!* *Bang! Bang!* Along with terrifying sound waves, the four Morning Star fire elementals were filled up with a bright layer of red as they exploded, boiling hot heat waves spreading through the area.

Leylin looked at this unfazed, the water covering the ground instantly accumulated into a dense huge wall of water containing the explosion as vapour released everywhere.

*Roar!* *Roar!* *Roar!* *Roar!* At this moment, the volcano exploded again as four bundles of glimmering dark-red balls of fire formed another four Morning Star fire elementals.

"You are boring!" Leylin amber eyes looked straight at the Ember Titan Emperor despite of the mist as he slowly uncovered his left gloves revealing a sun tattoo brimming with life and flickering searing blue flames.

Majestic blue flames formed around Leylin's body, devouring the waves of fire from the previous detonations.

"Crisis Matarisvan-Emberwing Technique Scorching Raze FireGod!"

Along with a high-pitched phoenix cry, a large blue Vermilion appeared in the air, two blazing flames sweeping across the region. The four elementals immediately burst apart, and their flames were absorbed by the blue, oppressive fire. This allowed the blue phoenix to become even more enormous as it charged towards the Ember Titan Emperor.

*Roar!* The Ember Titan Emperor bellowed, a layer of flaming skin covering it as it collided with the tremendous blue phoenix.

The heavenly blue flames flew in all directions just as the scarlet flames did, both using up each other's strength and devouring each other. The enormous vibrations spread in all directions in the labyrinth

Leylin has only used the bloodline force of the Sun's Child Bloodline Imprint in the attack, he has not actually released the bloodline imprint otherwise the whole maze would have received a huge blow. After such a long time of receiving Leylin sentient force as well as nourishment from the Phoenix Egg the imprint strength is now at a whole another level.

In another area, Melinda chose a path with extreme familiarity. She'd met almost no dangers along the way, and was moving without obstruction.

Her eyes were now glimmering with something brighter than light itself. "I'm here. Are you ready?"

All of a sudden, the immense waves caused by Leylin travelled here, causing even this path she was taking to shake.

"The helpers this time are very powerful!" Melinda laughed in satisfaction, her figure disappearing into the darkness.

...

*Whoosh!* A giant black blade slashed out, the sword lights instantly causing four attacks that each beheaded an elemental. Four large heads fell, blazing with raging flames.

"You did well, brother!" The sword-wielding fighter was naturally Clarke. Behind him, Joanna stared at him with an unspeakable tenderness within her eyes.

These two rank 5 Magi had somehow bypassed the limitations of the Alanore Labyrinth and were working together!

"Soon, Joanna. Soon, Brother will bring you along to take revenge!" Clarke chuckled.

All of a sudden, his expression changed. "Be careful!"

Void shattered, and a red figure appeared beside Joanna. Endless flames lay docile on his body, flickering with scarlet light. This was evidently a peak rank 5 Magus.

He solemnly grabbed at Joanna, pure golden flames turning into sharp claws that caused Joanna's defences to break inch by inch.

"Blazing Flame Monarch!" Clarke howled with fury, arriving in front of her. The sharp, flaming claws ruthlessly grabbed him, causing the steel armour to break. Even the skin underneath had been roasted a charred black, revealing bright silver, metallic bones.

Within the Alanore Labyrinth, there was only one person who could move freely. And that was its owner, the Blazing Flame Monarch!

Clarke spat out fresh blood as he and Joanna were sent flying.

"Brother! BROTHER!" Joanna kept screaming, eyes instantly turning blood red. "HOW DARE YOU HARM MY BROTHER. I WANT YOU DEAD!"

Thin, translucent threads emerged from her hands, and even the void itself was cut through as they headed in the direction of the red figure in the air.

Fierce golden flames struck the translucent threads. Under the burning of the flames, the threads gradually melted. Not far away, Joanna turned pale.

"Joanna, get behind me." At this point, Clarke stood up once again, as if he did not have a life-threatening injury on his chest, "Blazing Flame Monarch, I've waited for this day for a long time."

*Bzzt!* Clarke's hands were on his giant black sword, emanating the terrifying undulations from high-grade magic equipment. The sharp rays of light were bright and dazzling, and even the void was constantly crumbling in front of it.

"Sorrow of Gaia!" Clarke yelled in his anger, the phantom of a vast land appearing behind him. An aura of rot converged on his body, forming terrifying sword glints."Death and decay are not something a living soul can control." The scarlet being in the air spoke slowly, a red sword with flames on it similarly appearing in its hands. "In the name of Fire, your only destination shall be the stillness of an eternal death."

The whole world seemed to tremble and cheer as large amounts of fire elemental particles wound automatically around the surface of the flaming sword.

These two longswords that had surpassed the limitations of space connected in the next instant, the dark green force that represented death and wilting up against the scarlet fire. Their collision formed a storm that annihilated everything. Red sword light flashed in the roiling storm, and Clarke's whole body fell backwards.

To be precise, 'half his body' fell back. Everything under Clarke's lower abdomen had completely disappeared, as if he had been chopped in half at the waist. It revealed a mechanical backbone and translucent fluids.

The scarlet figure of the Blazing Flame Monarch was revealed once more as the energy storm dissipated. He stared at Clarke's wounds and suddenly laughed.

"It's not even a mechanical modification, just the puppet of a soul servant. The true Clarke should have died long ago." He turned around, staring at Joanna who had tears in her eyes.

"A pretty good soul division technique. It's no wonder the two of you weren't separated when you came in, you are one and the same. Clarke's your courage, longing and hatred; after removing these qualities, your main body is only left with weakness."

"No, my brother isn't dead." Joanna cried out like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, tears spilling out of her eyes.

"Don't cry sister" The half-bodied Clarke on the ground consoled her with a smile, but the voice grew increasingly rigid, and the sound intermittent. It eventually turned robotic.

"Ah, wait. I seem to remember only a little girl surviving during that massacre then. Was it you?" A strange smile appeared on the Blazing Flame Monarch's face, "You actually placed all your hopes on someone else. Even if you've reached rank 5, you're still trash.

"Words that were as sharp as a blade caused Joanna's face to turn deathly pale. "No, I'm not" She hugged her head, on the brink of a complete breakdown.

The Blazing Flame Monarch looked proud, and just as he was about to deal her another blow and upset her further, his expression suddenly changed.

Joanna was still hugging her head, but streams of black gas were dispelled from her body. A dangerous aura formed around her, one that even had him considering retreat.

'What's going on? Wait, she's the descendant of that deceased clan. Could it be' The Blazing Flame Monarch's eyes shrank, and large amounts of flaming shackles appeared and shot towards Joanna. He was one step too late.

Joanna looked up and began to scream. An endless terrifying undulation immediately enveloped the whole region

...

*Thud!* The terrifying rank 5 fire elemental, the Ogre Ember Titan Emperor toppled down, the flames on its body extinguishing bit by bit.

The two bundles of soul flames gradually dimmed in its eye sockets. Soul light was constantly dispelled from the body, bringing with it dense fire elemental particles that were like fireflies. They quickly disappeared into the air.

*Chirp!* A high-pitched cry sounded and a large blue Vermilion descended from the skies. The flames withdrew to reveal Leylin who was within.

"It seems like my partners are slowly showing their true colors."

Leylin stood at the edges of the exhausted Volcano. After the death of the Elemental being, the black walls of the labyrinth at the other side of the Volcano pushed and pulled each other like toy building blocks, revealing a pitch-black pathway.

"I dont really appreciate going through all this trouble, its just about time to crush this altogether." Leylin cracked his neck as he looked forward.

"AAAAAAHHHH" An ear-piercing screech was transmitted to Leylin's ears, the hatred and terrifying energy it held causing Leylin's expression to change slightly. "On time."
