Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Sitting on Lotcar, Yang Yu poured several potions into his mouth in succession, pulling himself back to peak status.

Gazing at the sky, Fake Porcini raised his right hand; the scattered Magic Array condensed into four petals, merging together.

[Fiery Fire Blossom] is about to be completed.

Bai Jin could feel the magic power in the air was nearly depleted, making any attempt to use moderately larger magic exceedingly difficult.

Using the stored magic power within his body could probably enable the use of large-scale magic, but it would be like drinking poison to quench thirst, not only exhausting after a few spells but also leaving one extremely fatigued.

The events in Luoyu City that day were fresh in Bai Jin’s memory.

The coverage of [Fiery Fire Blossom] was beyond imagination, nearly enveloping the entire Luoyu City, Bai Jin doubted that relying only on Lotcar’s speed could evade such super large magic.

Bai Jin tightly gripped the magic wand [Sigh Seed] in his hand, unsure how long the shield opened by his magic power could withstand the pouring flames.

As they approached closer to the river, the magic power in the air was swept away entirely, Fake Porcini slowly lowered his hand, aiming the white flower bud at Lotcar’s group running.

The white flower bud slowly opened, spewing the crimson flames within.

The scene of that day reappeared once again.

It seemed nobody could stop it, nobody could dodge it.

But actually, Yang Yu never counted on Lotcar’s speed, or that unknown-looking river, to avoid or stop that super large magic.

The river appeared before them, Yang Yu issued a command:

”Stop, Lotcar, just like this, transform into a human shape.”

Lotcar completed a sudden stop by the riverbank, following Yang Yu’s instructions, directly transforming into a human shape.

White mist swirled around them, Iyas and Bai Jin lightly landed on the ground.

Yang Yu put on a pair of asbestos gloves right upon landing and took out a box to elevate himself, switching the shield to a broad Flame Dragon Shield, raising it above his head.

While preparing, Yang Yu also issued the next instruction to Bai Jin:

”Bai Jin, use the magic left behind by Lotcar’s recent transformation to draw the surrounding water source, then freeze it, build an ice dome around my shield, everyone else, try to hide behind my shield as much as possible!”

With that, Yang Yu adjusted the position of the shield, facing the oncoming flames.

Quickly chanting magic, Bai Jin manipulated the magic left after Lotcar’s transformation to draw a large amount of river water around Yang Yu, then used Ice Magic to freeze the water flow instantly, erecting an ice dome.

In an instant, the scorching flames engulfed the ice dome like a large bowl clamping down by the riverbank.

The exterior of the ice dome took on the shape of flames, but the flames didn’t howl or roar like fierce ghosts as Bai Jin had previously seen; it didn’t seem terrifying at all.

Bai Jin could feel the magic forming the ice dome getting eroded by the scorching flames, yet the erosion was extremely slow; a slight use of his own magic seemed to be able to stop the flames’ erosion.

Raising his hand, Bai Jin tapped into his body’s magic, doing so succeeded as well.

Outside, flames rolled, but inside this ice dome, no heat was felt unexpectedly, instead, the atmosphere was quite cool.

Bai Jin knew he couldn’t be careless; if a hole melted through the ice dome, the scorching flames would take advantage and fill the entire space.

Mobilizing the magic within his body, Bai Jin continually reinforced the small ice dome, and when his magic power was running low, he drank a bottle of Blue Potion to replenish his status.

The small ice dome actually grew thicker within the flames.

Yang Yu holding the shield high could somewhat feel the heat transmitted from the shield, but the heat was much less than anticipated.

Originally, Yang Yu planned to use his body and shield to resist the flames after the ”ice dome” battle failed.

He even chose to drink potions to maintain status to ensure Iyas could heal him immediately.

Now it seemed Bai Jin alone could sustain the existence of the ice dome.

The power of super large magic is not only related to the user’s prowess but also tied to the abundance of magic power in the air.

How to gather and utilize large amounts of magic power is the essence of super large magic.

Though Yang Yu knew nothing about magic, he understood from Bai Jin’s description what magic power was generally like and its basic attributes.

The total magic power obtained by draining the surroundings remains unchanged.

To weaken the opponent’s super large magic strength, one could plunder magic power, reducing the total magic power available for the opponent, or use a special method…

—Enlarge the coverage area of the opponent’s magic.

If the total magic power used by super large magic was like a dough, and Yang Yu and Bai Jin’s ice dome was a small coin, spreading the dough into a pancake or pinching it into a turtle shell, or turning it into a thin pastry on this small coin would exert different pressures on the coin.

This also explains why single-target magic is stronger than area magic at the same level—the larger the coverage of area magic, the smaller its power.

Yang Yu made Lotcar run quickly to make Fake Porcini expand the magic’s effect range, thus lowering the overall strength of the magic.

Consider facing a highly agile opponent, would a powerful but rarely hitting skill fare better than a weaker but consistently precise skill?

If Fake Porcini concentrated all magic power like Gordon at one point to unleash a magic piercing the earth, Yang Yu wouldn’t dare withstand it with his face even if he had ten leopard guts.

However, such broad flame magic was not enough to burn everything around to ashes.

This also gave Yang Yu confidence.

The flowing river water in the flames was evaporated instantly, halting the east-to-west, gentle flow beside the raging flames, transforming into continuous steam, rapidly rising.

With the conclusion of [Fiery Fire Blossom], the river water poured into the charred riverbed.

With a ”sizzle,” the water flowed onto the scorching cobblestones, instantly emitting billowing steam.

All the water flowing over the charred riverbed became warm, and during the long journey, these waters would slowly lose heat, peacefully merging with the Big River and ultimately flowing into the sea.

Contentedly watching the land baked charred by super large magic, [Modesty] showed a smile.

[Modesty], imitating Pingru, was a magician with some renown in the world, specializing in flame magic, extraordinarily gifted since childhood with natural affinity to flame magic.

She knew four flame attribute super large magic spells herself, and could choose different spells depending on various conditions.

[Modesty] underwent rigorous training, understanding how to analyze the situation.

Faced with fleeing enemies, large area magic was most effective.

[Modesty] also selected the most suitable magic...

However...
