There was no fear! No panic!
Gazing into the wolf king's frenzied eyes, Chen Luo felt a surge of emotion, a feeling of joy.
Regardless of stance, race, or anything else.
When man and wolf placed their lives on the same gambling table, the tremor of their souls filled Chen Luo with nothing but joy at this moment!
Still wanted to fight! Still wanted to become stronger!
I will kill you!
With my strongest power!!!
The golden eyes instantly transformed into the vertical pupils of a dragon, and deep within them, an inextinguishable flame ignited.
...
In an unknown, ethereal realm, there was boundless light and heat, a world of pure flame.
As Chen Luo's will burned to its limit and his soul trembled, a resonance occurred.
[Super Magic Advancement Complete! "Fireball" (S-rank) has advanced to the rare skill "Starfire" (S-rank)!]
[Detected that the player possesses the special unique title "Beginner," causing the "Starfire" skill to mutate!]
[Starfire S-rank (0/10,000,000)]

The scarlet wolf eyes stared intently at the human mage's unyielding golden eyes.
Even in its madness, it could feel a stern pressure growing before it.
This was a power that even it, a Nightmare-class entity, felt a hint of fear towards.
The battlefield fell silent, and fireballs ceased to fall.
The ground was scarred by explosions, with bricks and stones scattered everywhere. Vehicles on the road had been reduced to mere embers.
And on the flattened earth, the wolf king stood frozen like a sculpture before the cracks of the bronze giant hand.
Until a voice rang out:
"Turn to ash..."
An absolute sense of crisis suppressed the madness in the wolf king's eyes. Something absolute was about to descend upon this world!!
Watching the wolf king turn, the light in Chen Luo's eyes remained unwavering.
The cracks in the bronze hand were silently healed by the mage's hand.
And in the void, an even more terrifying power was about to take shape.
Amidst the complex and ornate magic patterns, Chen Luo's consciousness was making the final adjustments:
"In ten seconds, the mana I inject will determine the form and temperature of Starfire. Let me see, then, the brilliance that 7,000 mana points can unleash!!"
Within his body, the mana, surging like rivers and seas, flowed under Chen Luo's will, pouring into the void with terrifying momentum.
This formidable amount of mana, upon integrating into the magic patterns of the "Starfire" skill, plunged into the abyss without causing a ripple.
But a smile touched Chen Luo's lips:
"Super Magic Skill—Fire Lotus Blazing the World!"
In the void, the previously calm magic patterns suddenly erupted with boundless radiance!
In reality, the wolf king had only just begun to turn.
But at this moment, despair reflected in its eyes.
None! There was no path to survival!
In all directions, above and below, within the range of its perception, there was only the scent of death!
It couldn't escape! It was too late!!
The sense of impending death brought a return of reason, but facing death, reason only brought more despair.
In the final moments of its life, the wolf king did not choose to flee again. It raised its head, the blood-red hue in its eyes having receded significantly.
Its pupils returning to their original cyan, it gazed at the silent blood-red crescent moon in the sky and let out its final howl.
"Awoooo!!!"
The wolf's howl was as clear as it had been when it first appeared.
From the mist-like darkness, the ears of ordinary night wolves waiting there twitched slightly.
This was the king's will, ordering all its kin to retreat.
To leave this city, to no longer contend with humans, to no longer contend with this man.
"Run, run far away!!! We have no homeland anymore. But at least, our race should continue!!"
The wolf king's will, in its final moment, faintly dispelled the ominous scarlet color in the night wolves' eyes, and reason returned to them.
And just as they were about to rise and leave according to their king's final command.
The blood moon in the sky seemed to brighten slightly.
Beneath the moonlight, the light of reason receded from the night wolves, and the surrounding darkness grew increasingly restless.
Sensing the change in the wolf pack, the wolf king, facing its doom, felt despair in its cyan eyes.
And Chen Luo's final attack had already descended!
...
After a ripple in the void, a flower suddenly appeared in the real world.
It was a dazzling lotus, shimmering with infinite radiance, but upon closer inspection, everything about this lotus was composed of a peculiar light and flame.
From orange-yellow to scorching white, it contained all the colors of fire.
The fire lotus that descended into this world enveloped everything within a hundred-meter radius, its bud tightly closed.
Chen Luo sensed the terrifying power outside the bronze hand, and his heart trembled faintly.
He knew he had crossed the Disaster-class realm and entered the next, unknown, terrifying realm.
The wolf king, which had been howling at the moon, its armor forged from blood and the power of night, began to emit faint wisps of smoke.
The wolf king, which had shown no change in demeanor no matter how many times it was hit during the previous battle, now displayed an expression of pain.
And this fire lotus, making its debut, had yet to reveal its true power.
Reflecting the colors of myriad stars and fires in its unyielding golden eyes, Chen Luo's voice was incredibly soft, yet it sounded like a chant:
"Blossom..."
Under Chen Luo's will, the tightly closed bud silently unfurled.
Boundless light and heat radiated outwards into the surrounding space!
But this terrifying heat was contained by Chen Luo within a hundred-meter radius.
From orange-yellow to scorching white, all the colors of fire stretched out their beauty and wildness within this hundred-meter range.
The battlefield at this moment was like a beautiful illusion.
But within this exquisite beauty lay the most terrifying killing intent!
The armor forged from blood and the power of night began a direct confrontation with the power of Starfire.
Even though they were both S-rank powers, Starfire, as a rare skill, completely suppressed the King of Night Wolves.
The sturdy armor began to melt, and the elegant silver wolf body was revealed once more.
Feeling this power, capable of instant annihilation, the previously despairing wolf king's eyes showed a hint of relief.
To be destroyed like this was also fine.
Only that one skill, it absolutely could not be used.
