Chapter 84: Wanda In Black Silk Stockings, Ch 40.2
It opened its mouth wide and roared, raising its right leg to stomp down fiercely. The asphalt road fractured instantly, cracks rapidly spreading towards Hood. Even more terrifyingly, flames erupted from beneath those cracks. With just one kick, the entire street erupted in flames.
"Watch out!" Gwen and Wanda cried out as they saw the cracks heading for Hood. However, Hood remained motionless, a cold smile appearing on his face. Facing the approaching cracks and the bursting flames, he slowly raised his right hand. A red light suddenly appeared across the street, enveloping it like a gigantic barrier. With a firm grip, the red light surged along the road.
At the moment the massive crack met the red light, it was as if it struck an invisible barrier. It stopped instantly, and even the flames that had followed it extinguished in an instant, dissipating completely. In the blink of an eye, all traces of fire had vanished. As a gentle breeze swept through, the previous heat felt like a dream.
"Wow! How did he do that?!" Gwen stared in astonishment at the scene on the street. "This is incredible!" Hood simply closed his hands, and the terrifying flames vanished without a trace. It was as if he had stepped out of a sci-fi movie.
"Is this the correct way to use magic?" Wanda, with her chaos magic, keenly sensed the magic fluctuations earlier, recognizing that an extremely terrifying power had covered the street, suppressing the flames, which was why they disappeared so quickly.
"I haven't used the Phoenix Force much; I'm a bit rusty." Hood had harnessed the Phoenix Force to extinguish the raging fire. The Phoenix Force could turn dust into water, water into life, and even reduce everything to dust or void.
"ROAR!!!" Realizing the fire had no effect, the gigantic Minotaur charged toward Hood with enormous strides. Each step cracked the ground, shaking the earth, as the flames engulfed it, charring the buildings. Even the footfalls left trails of black flames, as if they would never extinguish.
"Shut up, you're annoying!" Hood raised his hand and grasped the air, a mysterious force cracking down on the giant Minotaur's mouth, sealing it shut. Despite the Minotaur closing its mouth, it still charged forward with all its might.
"I'm done playing," Hood shook his head and waved his hand down. In an instant, the running Minotaur stopped as if trapped by an unseen force, and a flicker of fear crossed its mindless eyes. Its flesh began to turn to dust, scattering like quicksand, transforming into heaps of dirt in just a few seconds.
[Ding! You have eliminated the Minotaur monster in style!]
[Reward: Fire Element Power!]
"Hood..." Wanda was stunned; his display was simply awe-inspiring. About to rush over to celebrate, she was interrupted.
Whoosh. Gwen, filled with excitement, dashed forward and jumped, wrapping herself around Hood. "Mr. Hood, you're just amazing!"
"???"
Wanda squinted her eyes, feeling that something was a bit off.
Wasn't she supposed to be the one holding this?
This seems a bit strange!
