One-Eyed Monster

Patrick looked calmly at the ugly Nine-headed Bug approaching him.

He was well-prepared, his seals continued to form relentlessly, initially summoning tiny mosquitoes, but now, with the Fire Phoenix’s cry, the surroundings were instantly filled with an awe-inspiring eagle’s screech!

Several Flame Hawks immediately appeared around the Nine-headed Bug, circling in the air and constantly entangling with this flying creature.

The phoenix, being the king of birds, commands such authority that anything that can fly must tremble slightly, summoning a few hawks is quite normal.

This is an aerial combat!

Igor and his companions were thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.

The hawks swiftly suppressed the Nine-headed Bug; this creature with nine heads couldn’t showcase its prowess in front of the hawks, and the flames it spewed were countered one by one by the hawks, which was a heartening sight; even Igor and his friends couldn’t help but cheer for Patrick.

At this moment, Patrick was entirely focused on battling this Devouring Power, completely ignoring Igor and the others. Standing on the Fire Phoenix, this phoenix was both his attack method and his defense measure. This Nine-headed Bug looked exceedingly odd, and he couldn’t afford to be careless, although on the surface these hawks seemed to have the upper hand, he could sense that maintaining these Flame Hawks was gradually consuming his Spirit Power.

This Nine-headed creature was constantly devouring anything related to Spirit Power, as long as there was any leak of Spirit Power from the hawks, this nine-headed creature would devour it completely, leaving nothing behind.

Therefore, Patrick couldn’t afford to be distracted.

This nine-headed beast was continuously expanding its strength; with each devouring act, it grew a little stronger.

Soon, one of the creature’s heads opened its gaping mouth and, with a gulp, spat out a slender snake, which quickly entangled one of the hawks, causing the hawk to lose balance and swiftly be devoured by the nine-headed creature.

Such scenes repeated, and those hawks vanished one by one before people’s eyes.

”How did it flip so quickly!” Kadi exclaimed in astonishment; he had thought that the hawks were still holding an advantage.

”I don’t know, this Nine-headed creature is truly revolting!” Igor felt the changes in the creature, realizing that with each devouring of a Flame Hawk, the creature grew stronger.

The situation wasn’t looking good!

Patrick immediately began dispelling the hawks formed by the seals, realizing they were merely food for the nine-headed creature, only serving to bolster its strength.

The Flame Hawks dissipated in the air with crackles, transforming into specks of fire slowly descending from the sky.

This transformation made the nine-headed creature quite displeased, as it moved its body slowly towards Patrick.

Among the crowd, it seemed only Patrick’s Spirit Power was its target.

During the approach, the round and massive body of the creature began to change; the form elongated, extending several arms, then two legs, transforming into a humanoid shape.

Clearly, after devouring some Flame Hawks, this Devouring Power had advanced again, transforming into a humanoid creature with nine heads and six arms.

In this humanoid form, the creature was more agile, taking a few steps towards the Fire Phoenix and delivering a punch, unleashing a spray of blue flames.

Not good!

Igor muttered to himself, recognizing that the creature’s power level had risen again, and the Fire Phoenix evidently hadn’t anticipated such an attack.

It was a surprise attack, a punch with dozens of flaming tendrils unfurling, resembling countless little snakes constantly entangling the Fire Phoenix.

Patrick was caught off guard by the attack, surprised at how quickly the flames divided; the phoenix let out a cry, flapping its wings to form a firewall against the snakes.

Patrick promptly jumped off the Fire Phoenix, swiftly forming seals with his hands, knowing the phoenix needed to confront this monster now.

The phoenix cried out and charged at the creature, fiery red and blue swirled in the air in a dazzling dance, though the blue was somewhat repulsive.

”We need to help!” Igor yelled, sending a slice of Sword Qi.

This attack was unexpected for Patrick; he had assumed this creature was summoned by the two youths.

Kadi wasn’t to be outdone; flipping his Butterfly Blades, he charged forward swiftly.

”Kadi!” Igor worried Kadi might inadvertently stimulate the blue flame again.

”Don’t worry, I can handle it.” Confident in maintaining control, Kadi dashed forward, joining the phoenix in attacking the blue flame creature.

Patrick was secretly amazed at the boy’s fearlessness against the flames!

He was certainly surprised at how the tide had turned, not expecting the two young ones to suddenly become his allies in battle.

The blue creature didn’t show any signs of being disadvantaged; instead, it fought more valiantly, the flame’s range expanding, seemingly about to overwhelm the phoenix!

The phoenix’s flames gradually weakened, but Patrick didn’t give up, continuing to release his Spirit Power to hold on!

However, this blue Devouring Power seemed like a bottomless pit, continuously consuming the phoenix.

At this rate, the entire phoenix would be eroded away.

Patrick’s heart burned with painful despair.

If not for the assistance of the youths’ Physical Technique Attacks, the blue creature likely would’ve cornered the phoenix already.

Even though it was his Spirit Power Beast, this Fire Phoenix was truly like his child, as he was full of affection for it.

Now his phoenix suffered under torment, yet he was unable to have it retreat.

For retreat meant defeat.

The Fire Phoenix seemed to possess its own spirit, resisting fiercely, its emitted flames reaching an extreme.

The blue monster suddenly grew two more arms, now totaling eight, with two countering Kadi’s blades, two absorbing Igor’s Sword Qi, and the remaining four completely suppressing the phoenix.

The phoenix struggled!

”Oh no!” Igor and Kadi both muttered to themselves.

Patrick also felt his phoenix was on the verge of being devoured!

The blue creature extended six heads, opening its gaping mouths towards the Fire Phoenix, as if having awaited this moment for so long, finally able to devour!

The phoenix continued to fight, emitting blazing red flames.

But such resistance was futile, as the nine-headed creature’s six mouths were poised to consume.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

The blue flame monster began to devour the phoenix greedily, filling the sky with blue flames, consuming all the fiery red flames completely!

”No!” Patrick fell to his knees, feeling the loss of his Spirit Power Beast, the essence of a Summoner Wizard!

Now, as this essence diminished before his eyes, he felt his heart was hollowed out!
