Chapter 465

Right at the outer edge of the fire sea.

The lantern monster didn't expect the Cloud Paper Crane to return.

He had thought the flames alone would burn these two to death.

But he hadn't expected both of them to escape.

And the bat monster he had desperately wanted to save had been taken by Luo En.

He was furious.

At that moment, a long staff suddenly appeared before him.

He was startled.

He immediately pushed the flames forward.

His entire body once again transformed into a sea of fire.

A terrifyingly hot aura, accompanied by a wave of heat, shoved the Cloud Paper Crane back.

Luo En saw the Cloud Paper Crane sink once more into the fire sea.

He shouted loudly.

"Get out now."

But the Cloud Paper Crane refused to leave like this.

Now facing a monster,

how could he retreat without a fight?

He must fight this out thoroughly right now.

So the Cloud Paper Crane turned his staff again.

He thrust the staff forward like a long sword, slashing fiercely.

The staff emitted a sharp tearing sound.

Though it didn't strike the lantern monster,

the staff carved out a path.

The entire fire sea was split open.

Luo En sighed slightly.

The Cloud Paper Crane's strength was indeed impressive.

But he probably wasn't a match for the lantern monster.

A monster of Ghost Madness level should correspond to an S-class hero.

A-class heroes might briefly hold their own against them,

but in truth, they were no match at all.

So Luo En worried the Cloud Paper Crane would be trapped in the fire sea and unable to escape.

And now, the bat monster beside him was solely focused on fleeing.

If he went to help the Cloud Paper Crane right now,

the bat monster would definitely run away.

Xiao Yi's strength couldn't possibly hold back the bat monster.

Luo En looked at the bat monster.

And the bat monster was looking at him right then.

The bat monster had already figured it out.

Under these circumstances, Luo En must go save the Cloud Paper Crane.

Otherwise, the Cloud Paper Crane might die at the lantern monster's hands.

Then he could find a chance to escape.

That brat always trailing behind Luo En wasn't even worth mentioning.

With his strength, the bat monster could even kill that kid before fleeing.

Indeed, the Cloud Paper Crane began to grow increasingly strained within the fire sea.

Though he still swung his staff, forming layers of barriers,

blocking the flames,

as time passed,

he felt the flames growing fiercer and fiercer.

Like crashing waves and surging tides,

they slammed wildly against the barriers he had formed.

Slowly, he felt his strength waning.

The barriers he had formed began to show signs of cracking.

No, if this continues, I'll die here.

The Cloud Paper Crane's heart tightened.

He didn't want to die here.

The bat monster grinned at Luo En.

He said to Luo En,

"If I were you, I'd go save him at all costs—he's my teammate."

As he spoke, he gazed meaningfully at Luo En.

Waiting for Luo En to make his decision.

Luo En naturally understood the bat monster's meaning.

He merely hoped Luo En would go save Yunzhong Paper Crane, so he himself could escape.

The flames at Yunzhong Paper Crane's location grew fiercer and fiercer.

A sea of fire surged like thundering waves.

Terrifying flames shot up to the sky in an instant.

The air around turned intensely scorching.

In such an environment, it was nearly impossible for anyone to escape calmly.

And the lantern monster was frantically fueling the flames.

Such a terrifying sea of fire—even an S-class hero would find no advantage here.

Luo En knew he had to save Yunzhong Paper Crane.

He glanced at the bat monster.

He said coldly.

"If you can't escape this time."

"Then next time will be your death."

The bat monster wore an innocent, harmless expression.

He said, "I truly admire you."

"How could I possibly run away?"

"You've already defeated me."

"I'll wait right here for you."

"Go save him without worry."

After speaking, he grinned at Luo En.

Luo En had no desire to speak further with him; he glanced at him once.

Then he leapt forward, diving into the sea of fire.

The scorching airwaves were filled with a strange energy.

When Luo En entered the sea of fire,

he felt the flames surging toward him from all directions, as if alive.

Frantically pressing in around him.

Luo En felt a crushing suffocation.

In this environment,

he could not unleash his full strength.
