“So, what are my chances of using the Chaotic Nirvana Flames?” Klaus asked.
“You won’t get burned, that’s for sure,” the senior replied. “But detonating it up close? Not a good idea. You should absorb the Fire Tulip first before trying to blow up your Fire Dragon. Trust me, the damage this new flame will cause is hundreds of times worse than that fireball, so be careful.”
The senior’s words made Klaus laugh and frown at the same time.
He had awakened nine different flames, ones he had never even heard of before. When he asked the senior for more information, all he got was, “You’ll find out soon.” Klaus didn’t want to seem desperate, but he was. He hadn’t summoned the dragon in battle yet, but he could feel its power—just from how it reacted each time he fed it a core.
They were connected on a soul level, so he could sense it, like how one feels their cultivation. He knew it was strong. And even though the senior said he needed to unlock the skills that came with it first, Klaus knew that just detonating it could solve most of his problems. freeweɓnvel.com
“Sounds great then, I guess I have nothing to worry about,” Klaus said, already thinking of the destruction he could unleash with his new attacks. Of course, the senior could sense the mischief brewing from a mile away.

“Brat, don’t do anything reckless. Even consuming the meat of the two monsters you’ve killed will increase your resistance to the flame more,” the senior warned. Klaus only nodded as he entered the region of the Berserker Flaming Wolf.
“Brat, I’m afraid this isn’t going to be easy,” the senior added, but before he could finish, Klaus’s senses flared. The Berserker Flaming Wolf was already charging toward him at full speed.
Without hesitation, Klaus willed his Ice Lotus Bloom into existence. His dragon tattoo glowed, and with a mighty roar, his Fire Dragon emerged into the air.
“Attack from the side, and don’t get too close,” Klaus said. While it felt natural to give the dragon commands, he knew from the senior that until it awakened its dragon soul, it wouldn’t be able to make decisions on its own. Still, he couldn’t help but guide it.
As the Dragon soared upward, the Berserker Flaming Wolf came into view. The creature stood four meters tall, fangs dripping with molten lava. Its crimson skin was engulfed in flames, and its claws glowed with fiery heat. Its tail, ending in a serpent’s head, swayed menacingly.
Klaus activated the first ability of the Lotus Flower, sending a concentrated beam of ice toward the beast. But the Wolf reacted swiftly, raising a fiery dome around itself to block the attack. At the same time, the Fire Dragon unleashed its skill, one Klaus had named [Tail Slash Kill].
The dragon’s tail whipped forward, releasing a sharp arc of fire that sliced through the flaming dome. It cut the barrier in half, but the Berserker Flaming Wolf barely seemed fazed.
It leaped back, and true to its berserker nature, its body shuddered before launching a volley of sharp fire arrows directly at Klaus.
Reacting quickly, Klaus surged his star qi into the Ice Lotus. His Absolute Ice Domain activated, forming a barrier that stopped the incoming fire arrows. For a moment, the battlefield was split—flames on one side, ice on the other.
Klaus narrowed his eyes. This beast wasn’t going to go down easily, but neither was he. The Berserker Flaming Wolf was berserk by nature, and Klaus knew that just using ice to block its attacks wouldn’t be enough. He had to get more aggressive with his techniques.
Ding!
The Bell of Harrows appeared and rang out, sending sonic waves and soul attack, crashing into the Flaming Wolf. For a moment, its fiery body dimmed—proof that Klaus’s soul attack had worked.
But he didn’t give it a chance to recover. The [Eye of Despair] manifested next, glowing ominously. Klaus focused, sacrificing 20 percent of his Star Qi. Tapping into the soul beam skill of the Eye of Despair, a powerful soul attack was unleashed.
The Flaming Wolf tried to activate its defense again, but this time, it was useless. The soul attack bypassed its physical defense hitting its soul directly.. Its fiery body dimmed even further. Up in the air, Klaus’s Fire Dragon, draining his stamina and qi by the second, lashed out once more with its tail sending fire arc at the wolf.
Howl!
A painful howl erupted from the Berserker Flaming Wolf as the fire arc from the dragon’s tail slashed deep into its side. Klaus couldn’t help but grin slightly. He’d finally landed a serious hit.
“I need to end this quick before I’m drained,” Klaus muttered to himself. He could feel his stamina dropping fast, his qi pool draining with each passing second. Using the dragon alongside the [Bell of Harrows], [Eye of Despair], and the [Nine Star Ice Lotus Bloom] was taking its toll on him.
He knew he didn’t have much time left before he was completely spent. He retrieved his sword and then deactivated the Bell of Harrows. Klaus focused again, channeling another soul attack with the eye of despair that landed squarely, just like before.
“Going in,” Klaus muttered. He dashed from his position, his sword slashing down as he appeared beside the wolf in an instant. A deep cut landed on its hind leg, causing it to howl in pain. But Klaus wasn’t satisfied.
“This is a problem,” he thought, feeling a tingling sensation in his hand from the impact of the strike. “Is its leg made of metal?”
The Berserker Flaming Wolf’s skin had been tougher than he anticipated. Klaus examined the wound he had inflicted, realizing that it didn’t bleed like it should have. Instead, it glimmered ominously, almost as if it had a protective layer beneath its fiery exterior.
“No matter, plan B then,” Klaus muttered. A 16-inch needle appeared in the air as the dragon slashed its tail one last time before dissipating. Klaus had to recall it to preserve his remaining Star Qi and stamina. But the dragon’s final attack wasn’t in vain—it shattered the wolf’s new defense.
This gave Klaus the opening he needed. Wasting no time, he unleashed a combined attack. The Eye of Despair glowed menacingly, while his own Eye of Malevolence sharpened his aim, making his strike more precise.
But that wasn’t all. The Nine Stars Ice Lotus Bloom activated its Ice Beam skill, sending a focused blast of icy energy. In a deadly three-way combination, the Eye of Despair unleashed a soul attack, the Ice Beam followed, and Klaus’s Moon Slash, infused with fire essence, sent a crescent-shaped flame arc cutting through the air.
All three attacks collided with the Berserker Flaming Wolf in rapid succession. The wolf howled in agony as the combined force struck it with devastating precision. Yet, Klaus wasn’t done.
The Void Piercing Needle shot forward, slicing through the air and piercing the wolf’s neck. Blood gushed from the wound, but the needle didn’t stop there. It flashed through the air again and again, stabbing the wolf’s neck dozens of times in a blur of lethal strikes.
Despite the savage onslaught, the Berserker Flaming Wolf refused to die. Its body, though battered, still clung to life. However, it no longer had the strength to fight back. Its berserk rage had been wasted, as Klaus never gave it a chance to attack. He knew better than to allow a Tier 7 Devil beast any opportunity to retaliate—that would be a death sentence.
Finally, the wolf let out one last pained howl before its massive body collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud. Klaus sighed knowing it was a close one this time. The Wolf was far more powerful than he had expected, however, he managed to take it down, thanks to his control over his skills.
“Great control, brat,” the senior praised. But Klaus was too exhausted to respond. He collapsed onto the ground, sitting heavily on his butt as he gasped for air, his body spent from the intense battle.
After a few minutes, Klaus forced himself to his feet, still drained but determined. He staggered over to the Berserker Flaming Wolf’s fallen form, carefully prying out the Fire Core from its chest. Then, with a sigh, he slumped down again, this time sitting on the massive wolf’s body.
“Three down, two more to go,” he muttered, his voice weak but his face lit up with a tired smile.
