Chapter 223: Chapter 222 Murder and Robbery is a Mutual Interaction (Part 2)
“What is this?”
“Charge! Attack together!”
The entrance of the Skeleton Dragon was truly too shocking; when its massive body, entirely composed of white bones, burst through the icy layer and erupted from the ground, the visual effect was so naturally overwhelming it seemingly broke through the heavens. It left those Fire Mist Warriors momentarily spellbound. But they were, after all, seasoned warriors who immediately snapped back to reality, grabbed their weapons, and three of them met Sindagosa head-on, while the remaining four took the opportunity to circle around the Giant Dragon and charged at Fang Zheng, Tilia, and Nanoka.
“How… how did we end up fighting?”
Watching the sudden shift in the situation, Nanoka was still unable to respond. After all, she was just a rookie Fire Mist Warrior, who, though she had some knowledge, had only that—knowledge. In Nanoka’s heart, she probably thought of Fire Mist Warriors as akin to Superheroes or Magical Girls: the “good guys” who worked together to save the world.
But now, the “good guys” had suddenly turned into bandits, leaving Nanoka at a loss. In the heart of a young girl, this shock was no different from seeing Captain America taking off his coat, revealing a tattoo-covered body, cigar in mouth, turning into a loan shark enforcer.
...
How could this happen?
This was the biggest difference between Nanoka’s generation of new Fire Mist Warriors and the first generation. They held no direct animosity against the Followers of the Crimson Realm, nor any conflict. They truly became Fire Mist Warriors to fight for humanity, for the world. But it was different for the first generation of Fire Mist Warriors; no matter how loudly they proclaimed their slogans, as Fang Zheng said, they were essentially driven by revenge. For them, vengeance against the Followers of the Crimson Realm was paramount.
As for everything else, those were just self-righteous pretexts for their actions.
And those who appeared before Fang Zheng were the radicals among the Fire Mist Warriors. To them, anything that could hinder, kill, or destroy any plan of the Followers of the Crimson Realm was worth it, and for that, they would pay any price!
Yes, they and the Followers of the Crimson Realm were irreconcilable!
“Hmph.”
As for the four Fire Mist Warriors charging at them, Fang Zheng and Tilia did not move. Fang Zheng merely let out a cold snort, and the next moment, the snowy plains in front of him cracked, and countless Scourge Undead crawled out, rushing towards the enemies.
Depending on the enemy, the environment within Fang Zheng’s Sealing was different. Previously, when fighting against Wilhelmina, he mainly wanted to test just how powerful the “Icecrown Citadel” would be at full strength, hence he brought “the whole family” in a massive onslaught.
But now, there was no need for such tactics against these Fire Mist Warriors. After all, the “Icecrown Citadel” was effective, but the intention was too obvious. It was clear as day that it was a finishing move to send others to the Western Paradise, and anyone with a bit of sense would be cautious upon realizing something was amiss.
Instead, the deceptiveness of this seemingly endless icy plain was handy. Since the people of this world had never seen this type of Sealing, they would at most consider it as some kind of mutated form of Sealing. It matched the thinking of the Fire Mist Warriors and the Followers of the Crimson Realm, who maintained sealings with the least Power of Existence to save energy for repairs after battle.
Therefore, they had never considered that there might be Sealing specifically designed for offensive purposes.
In this world, the only ones who knew the true power of Fang Zheng’s Sealing were Tilia, Nanoka, Wilhelmina, and a few others. Even Shana had never witnessed the full might of Fang Zheng’s Sealing. Tilia and Nanoka naturally wouldn’t speak carelessly. Wilhelmina had been soundly defeated by Fang Zheng and likely only understood what happened to her. As for the others…
When Fang Zheng deployed this Sealing in front of them, it meant he had already decided to eliminate them.
After all, only the dead can keep secrets.
“Roar…!!”
An intense bone-chilling cold surged forward.
As Sindagosa unleashed her power, a faint aura radiated outwards from her, enveloping the Fire Mist Warriors. Sensing the icy chill, their expressions drastically changed.
“What is this abomination?!”
The Fire Mist Warriors who appeared here were all battle-hardened and didn’t panic at the sight of Sindagosa. However, they quickly realized something was wrong. The bone-chilling cold felt as if blades were cutting them, actually beginning to sap their strength!
Is this Phosphorus? How can there be such a terrifying Phosphorus?
As they observed Sindagosa, the Fire Mist Warriors immediately became cautious. But as fast as their movements were, Sindagosa was faster. Following the burst of her frost aura, she roared angrily and raised her front claws, forcefully swinging down at one of the Fire Mist Warriors!
“Ha!!”
Seeing the colossal claws of the Skeleton Dragon, the leading Fire Mist Warrior also roared and suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbing the massive sword from his back to shield himself. Then Sindagosa’s claw struck the sword heavily, and a penetrating frigid cold blasted towards him, instantly frosting a thin layer of ice on the surface of the Fire Mist Warrior’s body.
So cold!!
The bone-chilling cold made the Fire Mist Warrior shudder uncontrollably before he suddenly burst out with a whirlwind, tearing apart the ice crystals binding his body into fragments. At the same time, another Fire Mist Warrior swiftly moved to the side and, while raising the longbow in hand, drew the bowstring and released an arrow straight at Sindagosa.
“Bang!!”
The arrow, condensed from flame, soared through the air and struck the Bone Dragon’s head. Facing the fierce strike of the Fire Mist Warrior, Sindagosa merely tilted its head slightly, then turned around and swept its soul-flame burning eyes over the attacker. In the next moment, Sindagosa’s body suddenly twisted, and the Fire Mist Warrior holding the bow and arrow felt a gust of wind bearing down on him as a thick, long tail swept across the ice, hurtling sideways toward him!
“Help, quick!”
At that moment, the Fire Mist Warrior, caught midair, was utterly unable to dodge and could only shout for help. But as he was about to be struck squarely by the tail, a figure suddenly materialized out of nowhere and kicked him away. The tail, with its howling wind, swept beneath the two Fire Mist Warriors, raising only a flurry of snowflakes.
Yet even though they weren’t hit directly, the two Fire Mist Warriors were still caught in the turbulent airstream, ending up tumbling gracelessly to the ground.
“Be careful, this creature is tough to deal with!”
Watching this scene, the man in the suit’s expression darkened. He could sense that this strange giant dragon’s strength was on par with a powerful King of the Crimson Realm. However, the man in the suit couldn’t figure out what was happening. It didn’t seem like Fang Zheng had made a contract with a Demon King of the Crimson Realm, considering that Fire Mist Warriors and humans were different. But if he was merely a human, how could he possibly possess such power?

Meanwhile, at the same time, the three Fire Mist Warriors attempting to surround and attack Fang Zheng and Tilia were in no better situation.
The overwhelming Scourge Legion almost completely halted their advance, making it impossible for them to get close to Fang Zheng and Tilia. While the Scourge Soldiers were considered merely troublesome phosphorus to them, their numbers, once they achieved an overwhelming advantage, became quite annoying. Not to mention the way these undead creatures appeared…
“Crack!!”
As a Fire Mist Warrior fought valiantly, the layer of ice at his feet suddenly shattered, and a skeletal arm burst forth, grabbing his ankle. This unexpected attack caused the Fire Mist Warrior, who was in the middle of dodging, to halt abruptly, and at that moment, several Undead Spirits seized the opportunity, raising their weapons and lunging toward him.
“Get off!” With a roar, numerous flashes of light suddenly materialized around the man, slicing the approaching Undead Spirits and the ground around him into pieces. Clutching a scimitar in hand and glaring icily at the enemy before him, the man abruptly raised his hand.
“Whoosh———!!”
As the man raised his hand, several auras of the Free Method unfurled around him, spinning rapidly and expanding outwards, instantly clearing the nearby creatures. Seizing the moment, the other two Fire Mist Warriors quickly joined him, coming to his side.
“Damn it, we’re no match for them this way!”
“I’ll create an opportunity, and you take the chance to deal with that girl!”
“That’s the only way! Let’s move, Roaring Musician!”
“Understood!”
Upon hearing his companion’s command, another Fire Mist Warrior responded, lifting the guitar in his hands like a rock star and then looking ahead.
“Now, listen to this track!!”
Shouting loudly, the man began to wildly strum his guitar, singing at the top of his lungs. With his singing, the air around him seemed to pulse. The once invisible air began to swell and condense, trembling as if in response to the music. And those undead creatures close to this mass of air also started to quiver madly and then shattered into ash, disappearing into the air.
“Go now, our Sword of Thunder!”
Finally, as the music peaked, the Fire Mist Warrior swiped his guitar strings forcefully, shouting out loud. Accompanying his motion, the air that had been solidifying and expanding along with the music abruptly transformed into a roaring tornado, bursting from the Fire Mist Warrior’s body and flying out with a thunderous roar. It swept like an invisible hand dusting off a table, and with a mere brush, the several hundred Undead blocking the warriors’ path shattered and disappeared. The invisible sound wave spread along the snowy plain towards Fang Zheng and Tilia, gradually subsiding and vanishing.
Even so, the snowflakes and dust kicked up momentarily obscured the two’s vision.
Now’s the chance!
Before Fang Zheng and Tilia could act further, suddenly, a figure burst from amidst the dancing snowflakes and, like a bolt of lightning, charged at Nanoka who was standing aside!
