Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys Chapter 1608 - 556: Fiery Flame Storm

The alert airship brought up the duo of Crowns, Otto Zock and Ogre Zock, renowned together as the 'Twin Flame Spirits'.

Each excels in Fire Witchcraft, and in merely one year, they both nearly at the same time advanced to the rank of Dawn Wizard.

On this occasion, since Sword Saint Terrio noted in his ruins report that Dawn Wizards proficient in Fire Witchcraft would be ideal for inflicting heavy damage on the Fiend Demon, the federation congress called them to Resslero Canyon.

As the airship sent out its message.

All of a sudden, a pair of fire eagles, each stretching over five meters in length, soared from below the city.

These fire eagles glowed entirely red, and with every flap of their wings, intense flames blazed around them, their power truly impressive.

They served as the fire eagle mounts for Otto Zock and Ogre Zock. Though not matching the Dragan Empire's Five-Colored Giant Dragons, these were savage creatures boasting the combat strength of a Crystallization Wizard.

Right then, a number of armed airships hovered in the space between Zetaya City and Resslero Canyon, right in Dorick's path of flight.

Spotting the threatening, huge form of the Steel Dragon with no sign of veering away, the heavy cannons along the sides of these armed airships unleashed a coordinated barrage.

"Boom boom boom!"

Right away, the sides of several armed airships erupted with bursts of fire in a thick barrage.

The following moment, tiny mushroom clouds exploded across Dorick's massive frame, and under the focused assault, the Steel Dragon's huge body got shrouded in thick clouds of smoke and debris.

"Aoo!!!"

Dorick gave its body a light shake and released a roar.

Strangely, the roar lacked any ferocity or distress; rather, it carried...a hint of laziness.

"Not bad, those little particles that hit my body felt pretty good." Dorick mused inwardly.

Treating the bombardment like a relaxing massage, Dorick felt pleased, so it chose not to strike back at the few armed airships that had provoked it by obstructing its way.

Yet the Federation airships saw things differently.

Watching the intimidating colossal creature emerge unharmed and charge directly at them, panic gripped them, and captains yelled in desperation:

"Hard to starboard!"

"Quick, get out of the way!"

...

Seeing this unfold, the speeding 'Twin Flame Spirits' Zock brothers shared a stunned look:

"Hiss~ What incredible defensive strength this colossal beast possesses!"

Keep in mind, those armed airships carried the Federation's newest ultra-heavy bronze cannons.

In past battles against giant beasts, while they couldn't cause serious harm, they at least managed to leave some light injuries.

But now, the foe's hide showed a subtle metallic sheen, appearing totally unaffected, like the strikes were just playful scratches.

"Otto, deploy the secret weapon!"

The elder brother Ogre, with his red hair in a Mediterranean style, quickly realized that standard assaults would probably do little to the beast in front.

"Alright!"

"First Level Witchcraft Ignition Technique!"

"...."

"Dawn Killing Move: Fiery Flame Storm!"

The pair moved nearly together, both unleashing their Dawn Killing Move from the Fire Element.

In a flash, two enormous flame whirlwinds materialized before them and rushed ahead swiftly.

After traveling dozens of meters, the two flame whirlwinds combined into one massive flame whirlwind towering a hundred meters high, nearly linking the sky and ground!

"Wonderful!"

"A true display from the 'Twin Flame Spirits' Crowns."

As this sky-spanning flame whirlwind bore down on the colossal beast, the Federation troops on the armed airships let out cheers of excitement.

"Boom!!!"

The flame whirlwind swallowed Dorick's gigantic form in an instant, and for a brief time, all believed the foe would be incinerated alive!

No!

Alarms blared in Ogre's mind, and he whipped his head around to yell:

"Otto, hurry, evade!"

In that very moment!

A fearsome, enormous silhouette burst free from the huge flame whirlwind, like a Fire Dragon surging from molten rock, or a Phoenix rising anew from the blaze!

The raging flames and shockwaves scattered in all directions, making their fire eagle mounts wobble unsteadily, and amid the turmoil, they failed to dodge right away.

Yet, to their surprise, the dragon-like terrifying beast didn't allow its blade-sharp flesh wings to graze them, instead raising them slightly as though intentionally sparing them.

"Swoosh!"

The blade-sharp flesh wings sliced past over their heads, once more clipping away a good portion of the brothers' leftover hair.

Shaking in terror, the brothers overlooked this minor thing, left utterly dumbfounded.

"Otto, you okay?" Ogre swiftly guided his fire eagle over to Otto's position and inquired.

"I'm fine..."

Staring at the giant beast vanishing into the distance, Otto was on the verge of adding more when the Communication Mark on his chest started blinking.

"It's Haleem! Good thing, I was just going to reach out to him to gear up for combat right away."

"This giant beast's flight path looks aimed straight at Resslero Canyon, maybe toward the Floating City Ruins?!"

Ogre extended a hand to trigger the Communication Mark, yet the instant after, his brow furrowed a bit.

"What's up?"

"The Federation's reinforcements showed up, but just a single individual arrived—that youth Terrio and Haleem both praised highly: Rein."

"One person? That's... kind of..." The younger brother Otto trailed off, unsure what to say.

"Precisely. Let Rein handle this troublesome giant beast! Should he manage to repel it, we'll accept his power and, of course, agree he can stand for the Dragan Empire by himself."
