The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1473: Chapter 1473: Does this count as slapping one’s own face?

Water and fire are intangible, generated by the formation, resembling fire without roots, continuous and hard to deal with. Unless the array flag infused with the Seven Flames True Fire is destroyed, as Easton Walters mentioned, the True Fire will burn endlessly. However, the formation is interconnected, making it extremely difficult to break in a short time.

As Selah Ellison Fairy pondered how to tackle the Seven Flames True Fire, Carson Flores spoke.

”Let me handle it.”

Selah Ellison Fairy turned to him in surprise. You?

Even I find this situation challenging—can you manage?

Carson Flores retrieved the Water-Fire Mirror without further ado. A spell fell, and fiery light shimmered, as a curtain of red light rose to meet the Seven Flames True Fire that was crashing down on the two.

Wherever the red light swept, the violent, fiercely hot Seven Flames True Fire froze instantly. Then, one by one, the fire transformed into streams of light, like birds returning to their nests, and flowed neatly into the surface of the Water-Fire Mirror, disappearing without a trace.

Selah Ellison Fairy’s eyes widened in astonishment.

This kid had quite a few powerful magical treasures!

Wasn’t he said to have come from the Mortal Realm or the Barbaric Wilderness Realm? Do they really have such potent magical treasures down there?

Or was it given to him by the Sect for protection?

Outside the formation, Easton Walters—expecting to burn the two alive—exclaimed in shock, ”What kind of magical treasure is that? It can actually collect the Seven Flames True Fire!”

Carson Flores didn’t respond, continuing to focus on manipulating the Water-Fire Mirror to absorb the Seven Flames True Fire.

As a Human Immortal now, Carson Flores possessed stronger powers, and the Water-Fire Mirror was thus capable of storing more energy.

Since arriving in the Immortal Realm, Carson Flores had kept the secret of the Water-Fire Mirror close, never using it until now. Faced with danger, he finally had no choice but to deploy it.

He also understood Selah Ellison Fairy’s character—she was not a vicious treasure-hunter. With her, there was no need to be overly guarded, especially since not everyone knew about the Mirror of Elemental Harmony. Whether she could recognize it was another matter entirely.

Let alone the fact that they were confronting life and death; hiding it now would be excessive.

Easton Walters watched as Carson Flores neatly absorbed all traces of the Seven Flames True Fire, and his rage flared. ”Fine, let me see how much you can collect!”

Carson Flores still didn’t reply, concentrating on absorbing the endlessly falling Seven Flames True Fire.

The Seven Flames True Fire’s descent accelerated dramatically, but it couldn’t bypass the red light curtain generated by the Water-Fire Mirror. Instead, it transformed into pure energy and was stored safely within the mirror.

Selah Ellison Fairy felt relieved. She didn’t rush to intervene, instead watching Carson Flores work intently, her interest piqued.

She discovered that Carson Flores seemed to have endless cards hidden up his sleeve, as if he were a bottomless pit that could never be emptied.

After a while, Easton Walters’s cold voice rang out: ”Collecting my True Fire, are you? Let’s see how you handle this instead!”

Suddenly, the raging flames were swept away entirely, replaced by an endless surge of Cold Ice Energy that poured in fiercely, enveloped within thick white mist. Though invisible, the temperature plummeted sharply.

The air that had been scorching hot became icy and bone-chilling. The temperature rapidly dropped, as if the two had gone from being roasted in a furnace to being thrown into a freezer. The cold air flooded toward them, threatening to seal them into ice statues.

Carson Flores blinked. First he tried to roast us alive, and now he wants to freeze us to death?

You really know how to mix it up!

Selah Ellison Fairy remained unmoved, turning her head to Carson Flores. ”What now?”

Carson Flores chuckled. ”No problem, I’ll just heat things up a little.”

He raised the Water-Fire Mirror, and fiery light burst forth, unleashing a fierce blaze that swept across the air.

The raging flames instantly dispelled the bone-chilling cold, and the air turned dry as the temperature rapidly rose.

Selah Ellison Fairy laughed out loud. ”So it can release fire too, huh?”

Carson Flores grinned. ”Yes, it can both absorb and release fire.”

Selah Ellison Fairy looked at the other side of the Water-Fire Mirror. ”What about the other side—what does it do?”

Carson Flores smirked. ”This side is the Fire Mirror; the other is the Water Mirror, and they work the same way.”

Selah Ellison Fairy asked in amazement, ”The Water Mirror—can it absorb water and release it?”

Carson Flores nodded. ”Precisely, it absorbs the energy contained in water and fire. For instance, this ultra-low-temperature mist—it can absorb that. Ordinary water, however, it cannot.”

With Carson Flores’s explanation, Selah Ellison Fairy understood and smiled. ”Doesn’t that mean you’re invincible against water and fire?”

Carson Flores replied with a chuckle. ”Invincible is a stretch, but with this mirror, if the enemy uses water or fire, I’ll have a significant advantage.”

As Carson Flores and Selah Ellison Fairy chatted leisurely, Easton Walters—manipulating the formation—was boiling with rage.

This guy’s magical treasure can absorb fire and even unleash fire!

Using his own fire to fight against his own Cold Ice Energy?

Was this basically him slapping his own face?

Though Easton Walters’s Cold Ice Energy surged incessantly, Carson Flores simply ignored it. Whenever the cold grew unbearable, he would release a burst of fire to raise the temperature. It was like lighting a small fire in a freezer—not enough to raise the temperature of the entire cave, but sufficient to stave off discomfort.

Carson Flores’s method frustrated Easton Walters to the core. Realizing he wouldn’t be able to kill the two by continuing this approach, he decided to unveil his ultimate move.

”I’ve underestimated you and your powerful magical treasure. But no matter—it will soon become mine. Now, face the strongest killing technique of my Immortal Slaying Formation: Sword Qi Storm...”
