Forsythe was especially panicked.
As a pirate who had spent quite some time out at sea, he was pretty familiar with the ways of the Ice Fire Island. It was said that the Scope family had an ultimate skill that could summon a phoenix, capable of setting all its opponents ablaze to their deaths regardless of how powerful they were.
He thought that there was no way a young girl like Stella would know such a powerful skill. Unfortunately, it appeared that he had clearly had the wrong idea.
Despite the cries of her subordinates, Morticia seemed to have no intention of flinching. Instead, a smile passed across her exquisite features.
"The flames of this fire phoenix may seem dangerous to others, but it'll come in handy for me. Great timing, too. I can use it to make my Fiend core stronger."
As she spoke, she soared forward to meet the blow in one swift move.
Buzz!
The next second, the fire phoenix collided with Morticia's figure with an ear-splitting crash. A fire broke out in the air, casting the rest of the sky in a white glow.
In the blink of an eye, the crowd fell deadly silent.
A few seconds later, the Fire Island members let out a series of cheers.
"Haha! The pirate leader's dead for sure."
"Wonderful. We're about to win."
"Let it be known that whoever dares to take down the Ice Fire Island must have a death wish."
Amidst the cheers, a smile flitted across Stella's face as she exhaled softly. Yes, once the lady leader died, the rest was bound to end in success.
Forsythe and the other Blanc elders stood frozen to the spot. Their faces were the picture of shock.
Had the Sea Dragon Empress just died like that?
Someone shouted suddenly, filling the Sea Dragon army with glee.
"Look, it's the Empress!"
All that could be seen in the field of flames was Morticia's figure ducking in and out of sight. The roaring flames seemed to cause her no harm in the slightest.
Moreover, anyone who had the slightest bit of experience could see that Morticia was absorbing the flames continuously.
Indeed, she incorporated the flames of the fire phoenix to strengthen her Fiend soul.
What?
How could that be?
