Chapter 613: A Bygone Shadow

Flame Calamity didn't waste time as his eyes turned ablaze, "Still not going to take your combat form. Let's see how long you can continue to hold back, Hell Fire Domain!"

Jacob suddenly felt an alarm ringing in his mind as he quickly retreated when the temperature around Flame Calamity began to rise like crazy.

In a hundred-meter radius, dark crimson flames began to blaze, reaching thirty meters height like an inferno. Flame Calamity's body completely vanished within as he seemed to have become one of the flames.

This was the most powerful innate ability of the Fire Wyvern, the Fire Domain. Flame Calamity was almost invisible in this domain as it became one with fire, and no physical attacks could hurt him.

The dragons were rumored to be the favorite children of magic with no equal, and the Wyvern Race was not far off either. This kind of domain ability was extremely rare, and only a few races possessed them, or they didn't have the talent to comprehend them.

Now, Jacob can't do physical damage as this battle turned into a battle of pure magic, and to kill Flame Calamity, he had to extinguish the fire domain first. Still, this domain-type ability exhausts huge amounts of mana, so as long as he can hold off, Flame Calamity would be exhausted soon. He can only use this domain for 80 seconds if he doesn't use any other magic-related spells.

But how could he give Jacob such a chance?

There was another function of a domain type ability. The owner could manipulate the domain element freely at will. Flame Calamity's fire element was a growth-type element, which gave him the edge over everyone.

Just as Jacob was still mulling over this situation, hundreds of crimson chains of flame shot out from the fire domain and viciously moved toward Jacob.

'What kind of ability is this...' Jacob knew if he didn't go all out, he would be the one losing the portion of his soul, which was unacceptable to him.

After all, he didn't want any future troubles because of this. Even if this injury were healable, he had a feeling that the matters of soul couldn't be taken lightly, so he was not going to lose because he didn't want to show his true prowess.

'Fire Flash!'

Green flames gushed out of his body as he instantly vanished from his spot, leaving behind a flame figure like him. This magic spell would use his fire magic to create an afterimage of fire while sending the user a few meters away from its initial position.

The flame chains ended up blasting the fire afterimage of Jacob, and Flame Calamity's bewildered voice rang, "Dual elements! You can also use Fire as well, and your fire seemed to be mutant among fire... a growth-type core... how can that be? A dual-element body was only a myth. Just who are you, Dictator!"

Jacob appeared a few meters away, heard Flame Calamity's disbelieving remark, and was somewhat astounded, 'So, my fire is also a special kind like Flame Calamity's; no wonder its color is different, and its temperature is higher than normal fire element fires. I should investigate it further, and I need to be more careful to use dual magic in front of others in the future.'

Despite his surprise, Flame Calamity quickly recovered, "You are the worthiest opponent I've encountered in my entire life, and that's why crushing you will be the biggest achievement before I enter the path of legend!

"I'm going to use all my magic in a signal spell; this will decide victory or defeat. Dictator, I hope you can give me another surprise."

The flame domain suddenly churned at this moment, and the flame suddenly began to rise as the temperature increased even more. The surroundings were beginning to melt, turning into molten lava.

Jacob's eyes contorted as he had a very dangerous feeling about it, and at this moment, a strange scene flashed past his eyes when a flame dragon suddenly closed its massive jaws on him, turning him into ashes...

It was a vision of death!

A chill went down Jacob's spin because when he snapped out of that sudden scene, 'That was Mortal Danger Sense!'

At this moment, Flame Calamity's eerie voice reverberated, "Forbidden Spell, Hell Dragon Calamity!"

Just as his voice trailed off, the fire domain suddenly took the shape of a massive dragon head as crimson flames were burning ferociously on it. Like an arrow, it shot toward Jacob before opening its flaming jaw, revealing nothing but a burning inferno. The temperature was as high as the sun; everything in its path turned into cinders!

For the first time, Jacob felt death incoming; just from this, one could easily feel this place was far from being just a virtual reality. Furthermore, since the Mortal Danger Sense was triggered, it means this death might have serious consequences.

But Jacob didn't have another that could match this ghastly magic spell. Even if he used everything he had, he knew he wouldn't be able to avoid it as he felt like he was being locked by something. This was the first time he saw a forbidden spell in action, as he had only read about it in a book within the witch's palace.

Just as death was inevitable, Jacob suddenly felt his blood begin to rage as if something triggered it as massive power poured into his body out of nowhere.

Something suddenly ticked in his mind as the fear of the incoming death suddenly vanished, and he felt extremely powerful.

Instinctively, Jacob suddenly raised his two rotating swords in two different directions and slashed them, 'Deceptive Swords Style, Anti-Clockwise; Pandemonium!'

Something unimaginable happened; both swords suddenly released strange whistling cries before two pitch-black sword lights materialized in the air. The sword lights were extremely tyrannical like they wanted to cut apart the world.

Not only that, but Jacob didn't know that behind him, a vague shadow, so gigantic that its height couldn't be measured, appeared for a split second before vanishing.

The two pitch-black sword lights suddenly flashed past the massive dragon-head when it was about to devour Jacob.

The time seemed to have come to a standstill when the crimson dragon head suddenly shimmered in pitch-black light, and the next moment, it cut into myriad pieces.

'Boommmm...'

A huge explosion rang as the giant dragon head vanished, revealing Flame Calamity's figure, which split into countless pieces. At this moment, its eyes were filled with horror as he looked at Jacob, who still seemed to be in a trance.

He wanted to say something, but his mouth turned into pieces before he vanished with a light.

"Congratulations to Dictator on your 11th arena victory!

"Do you want to search for another opponent?"

Jacob finally snapped out of that strange state with Dark Rose's voice and muttered, "What just happened?!"
