Chapter 110: Fire versus Water 1
BAM!
Power surged through Nero’s body as he seized control of the prana swirling within his twin cores. He guided it with unshakable will, channeling it into the Law of Fire—and in the next breath, unleashed it upon the world.
With a thunderous roar, dark red flames erupted from beneath his feet, exploding outward in a spiraling wave. The ground cracked and hissed under the sudden surge of heat, and a blazing tide of fire surged across the forest floor like a living beast.
Trees ignited in an instant. Branches curled and snapped in the inferno. The flame wasn’t just hot—it was furious, infused with Nero’s indignation and disdain.
"If you think you can hide in the mist like a rat," he snarled, voice booming, "then I’ll just burn it all down!"
KABOOM!
His declaration was punctuated by a second detonation—the roar of expanding fire consuming oxygen, ripping through the mist in jagged bursts.
Like a serpentine predator, the dark red flame writhed and slithered, hissing as it ate away at the thick, mana-laced fog. The mist didn’t just dissolve—it was violently torn apart, shredded into steam as the flames devoured everything in their path.
Trees blackened and collapsed. Leaves disintegrated into ash midair. The heat distorted the very air, bending light around him in shimmering waves.
Within mere seconds, a full twenty-meter radius around Nero had been reduced to a scorched wasteland. The earth had turned black and brittle, stones glowed red, and any lingering trace of mist had been obliterated.
At the center of it all stood Nero—his silhouette wreathed in fire, cloak fluttering in the searing wind. His amber eyes blazed with unrestrained defiance.
He stood there like a monarch of flame, unchallenged, untouchable.
