In the cavern where space was completely frozen, the three Lava Demon Dogs lunging at Shi Feng abruptly halted, their eyes fixed on the broken sword in his hand. At this moment, pitch-black divine runes appeared on the broken sword, emitting rolling black mist that gave everyone an indescribable sense of cold and sinister evil.
The Lava Demon Dogs' eyes were filled with apprehension as they stared at the broken sword, as if recalling some past terror.
"Damned heretic, you dare trespass upon this sacred ground!"
"Let the great fire of the God of Flame purify your soul!"
As Shi Feng pulled the broken sword from his inventory, replacing the Magic Artifact Abyssal, the three Lava Demon Dogs seemed to be provoked by the sword. Their bodies suddenly swelled in size, and crimson-gold flames erupted all over them.
Even though the Lava Demon Dogs' claws merely landed on the hard rocky ground, the surface began to crack eerily, with black fissures appearing in the surrounding space, as if the entire space could no longer withstand this fire.
Moreover, Shi Feng felt a sense of death approaching from these burning flames.
This wasn't merely the threat of losing a single level, because these flames felt far, far more powerful than soul fire. Such flames would burn a soul with ease.
If a player's immortal soul was completely burned away, the player would be utterly destroyed…
Before Shi Feng could think of any good method, the three Lava Demon Dogs all lunged at him simultaneously.
Facing the three incoming Lava Demon Dogs, Shi Feng had no skills left to defend himself. Coupled with the sudden boost in the dogs' speed, he could only instinctively activate Sword Trajectory.
Countless sword lights immediately swirled around Shi Feng, and three massive crimson-gold fireballs crashed into them.
Boom! Boom! Boom! …
Firelight soared into the sky, the rocky ground around them shattered inch by inch, and the entire space was engulfed in a sea of flames.
Suddenly, three figures flew out from the rising pillar of fire—it was the Lava Demon Dogs. They then crashed heavily onto the ground, creating three craters two or three meters deep, with damage values of over three thousand points popping above their heads.
In contrast, amidst the dissipating flames, Shi Feng still stood there, only the ground beneath his feet had been burned into nothingness by the fire, forming a smooth, mirror-like pit.
"Such incredible power! Is this the weapon the Evil God used?" Shi Feng glanced at the injured Lava Demon Dogs around him, secretly shocked.
Truthfully, the broken sword in his hand was only a fragment of a Legendary item. While its boost to strength and attack power was significant, it wasn't as much as one might imagine. After all, the Magic Artifact Abyssal he previously wielded was already far stronger than an ordinary Epic weapon.
The Lava Demon Dogs before him were absolutely approaching the strength of a high-tier Legendary monster. Even with his Double Burst active, he was still lacking quite a bit. Yet, these three Lava Demon Dogs seemed like toothless and clawless sick dogs the moment they touched the broken sword. He didn't feel the same violent impact from the blade's edge as before.
While he had seen abilities that could weaken an opponent's strength before, none were as powerful as the Evil God's Sword in his hand. It could actually significantly weaken the power of a Tier 4 Legendary monster.
And that wasn't all. Just from that collision with the three Lava Demon Dogs, he felt his own strength had grown even stronger, as if he had absorbed some of their power.
Just as Shi Feng wanted to more carefully sense the Evil God's Sword's power, one of the Lava Demon Dogs abruptly stood up. This time, it didn't plan to charge directly. Instead, it let out a furious roar and formed a crimson triple-tier magic array in front of it.
Instantly, scorching flames burst from the magic array, and a wall of fire completely sealed off Shi Feng, leaving no way to dodge.
This fire was the Tier 4 spell the Lava Demon Dogs had used before, Red Lotus Breath. Even fire-resistant materials would turn to ash upon facing it.
