Chapter 474

His body was instantly flung away.

He crashed heavily to the ground.

Damn it.

Is this the power of an S-class hero? Far stronger than I imagined.

The Lantern Monster slowly rose to his feet.

Cracks had already appeared all over his body.

Though he was desperately trying to recover.

But his recovery speed was far slower than the opponent's destruction.

The surging flames had weakened dramatically in an instant.

These flames were tied to the Lantern Monster's own condition.

When the Lantern Monster suffered severe injuries,

the flames would become extremely faint.

And when the Lantern Monster returned to his peak state, the flames would rapidly restore to their original intensity.

So the Lantern Monster urgently sought to restore his condition.

But his recovery speed could never match the damage inflicted by Luo En.

No.

If I keep going like this, I will surely lose.

The Lantern Monster now understood the gap between himself and his opponents.

He was a Ghost Peak-level monster.

But now he faced an S-class hero ranked among the top three of the Hero Association.

The man's terrifying nature,

he had already grasped it.

That single attack

had made him feel the threat of death.

The Lantern Monster used his flames to attack Luo En and Banggu,

while searching for an opportunity to escape.

He knew that if he stayed here too long,

more heroes might arrive.

Then he would have to face multiple S-class heroes.

He understood his own strength.

He might manage one or two S-class heroes.

But if too many came,

his strength would be overwhelmed.

Yet neither Banggu nor Luo En were easy to shake off.

Though he had tried many tactics,

during actual combat,

he realized both were extremely stubborn.

Especially Luo En.

He had driven Luo En back several times.

But Luo En always charged forward again.

He paid no heed to his attacks.

And those so-called flames no longer affected them at all.

This left the Lantern Monster deeply astonished.

Even S-class heroes were flesh and blood, yet his flames were extremely hot.

If concentrated, his flames could rival the temperature of the sun.

Yet these two moved freely through the flames.

And they continuously harassed him, inflicting heavy damage.

Another violent impact.

The Lantern Monster felt a massive crack form on his body.

This crack was caused by Luo En and Banggu striking together.

He felt a piercing pain.

His strength had been severely diminished.

If this continued,

he would soon lose his combat capability.

The Lantern Monster clearly understood his current situation.

He could not afford a prolonged battle here.

He had to end this quickly.

The sky's color grew increasingly crimson.

It was because the terrifying flames continuously burned the sky.

Luo En saw the color of the sky.

He also saw the surrounding environment.

These flames have already caused irreversible disaster to the human world.

He said, "Since you have already created such a great disaster.

Then you must make amends for the disaster you have caused."

The lantern monster chuckled.

"I really don't understand what you're talking about.

As a monster,

what I aim to destroy is all of humanity—what are a few disasters?

I will make every single human vanish."

Before he finished speaking, he began relentlessly stoking the flames within his body.

Vast, surging flames erupted once more.

He didn't care where the flames spread.

He also didn't care how great a disaster these flames would bring.

108. Kill the lantern monster

What he wanted to do now was use these flames to disrupt Luo En and Banggu.

Once they were overwhelmed trying to deal with them,

the lantern monster could find a way to escape.

Now facing an S-class hero and a B-class hero,

he felt as if he were facing several S-class heroes at once.

This feeling made him furious.

But it also gave him immense dread.

Banggu clenched his fists tightly and once again assumed a combat stance.

He gazed at the lantern monster amid the sea of fire.

"This time, I'll let you see what true power means."

After speaking, Banggu let out a roar.

His entire form turned into a blur.

The lantern monster was astonished to find he could not track Banggu's shadow.

His hands moved as swiftly as flowing water.

His body shifted constantly.

He moved at high speed—under such motion, the lantern monster had no time to react.
