Chapter 212: Chapter212:Curtis' Death
In the Rift Valley, Andrew roared like an enraged lion, exuding a terrifying aura. With a mighty roar, his body rapidly expanded.
In the next moment, he transformed into a massive black fox.
The black fox was engulfed in dark purple flames, and its eyes were as black as a void, seemingly devouring one's soul.
"Kid, you choose to drink a toast but refuse the drink of punishment!"
Andrew roared.
The black fox he had transformed into spewed out large fireballs. Enzo, sensing the threat from these fireballs, knew that even if he could catch them, he would still suffer severe injuries.
As expected of the leader of the Snow Fox Territory, Andrew was indeed formidable.
Enzo thought to himself but had no intention of fleeing. At this moment, he needed a powerful adversary like Andrew to test the results of his recent improvements in strength.
More importantly, Curtis was not dead yet!
Avoiding the black fireball, Enzo retaliated.
His blood-red wings flapped, generating large fireballs, while he formed a lightning orb in his hand. Enzo hurled both energy spheres directly.
The unleashed lightning and flames ravaged everything, causing widespread devastation.
Andrew sneered, "Tricky tricks! Kid, if you're only at this level, then die here for me!"
Andrew made no attempt to resist.
The two energy spheres struck the massive black fox's body, resulting in a violent explosion that shattered rocks on both sides of the canyon. Yet, Andrew emerged unscathed.
It seemedthat Andrew was untouched by the blast.
At this moment, Curtis, who had been hiding behind Andrew, stepped out to deliberately provoke Enzo. "You, a mere insect fit only for a stinking swamp, think you can defeat Commander Andrew? You're utterly ignorant of your own limitations!
Commander Andrew is one of the few in Snow Fox Territory who has successfully cultivated the Diamond Body. Ordinary attacks can't harm him at all!"
This made Enzo's expression change slightly.
Andrew's face grew even darker. No one likes their secrets to be revealed. Although Andrew's success with the Diamond Body technique was well-known within Snow Fox Territory.
Enzo was not from there.
"Curtis, you fool!"
Andrew cursed in his heart, wishing he could just slap Curtis to death with one paw, but Curtis was seriously injured right now, and if he did so, there was a high possibility that Curtis would actually die.
Thus, Andrew ultimately restrained himself.
The anger he felt was redirected at Enzo, and his attacks grew even more intense. He unleashed a dense barrage of black fireballs at Enzo, attacking from all angles.
This time, Enzo could not escape.
Curtis exclaimed excitedly, "Kid, go die! Let's see how you hide this time
Dodging was impossible.
The sheer number of black fireballs made it impractical to evade without expending even more energy. Enzo activated his Lightning Shield, a cage of silver lightning forming around him.
The fireballs collided with the shield, producing loud explosions. Enzo felt his body shake, his blood surge backward, and blood trickled from his mouth.
Even a single attack left him injured.
Andrew noticed this and taunted, "Kid, do you now understand the gap between us? I hope you learn to follow the rules in your next life."
With that, Andrew unleashed another massive fireball.
The massive fireball was several meters wide, with unsettling black-purple flames.
Whoopee~
At this moment, Enzo let out a strange laugh.
Wiping the blood from his mouth, he met Andrew's gaze with a smile. "Commander Andrew, you're speaking too soon!"
Enzo drew a long spear with a casual motion.
This fire spear, seized from Theodore of the Solar Dynasty, greatly enhanced the power of fire elemental energy and was a valuable artifact.
Curtis laughed derisively.
"Kid, how naive! Do you think a weapon will let you defeat Commander Andrew?"
Andrew agreed.
Andrew shook his head, thinking Enzo was merely clinging to a ridiculous sense of pride.
So, Andrew decided not to wait.
A massive black-purple fireball, radiating an aura of destruction, hurtled toward Enzo, causing the valley to tremble, the ground to crack, and the mountains to collapse.
Enzo, however, thrust the fire spear into the black-purple fireball .
Then he began to absorb its energy frenziedly.
As the immense energy flowed into him, Enzo's aura intensified, seemingly breaking some kind of balance, and his wings turned completely fiery.
This was the brand-new Flame Wings.
The power from the blood element pattern had transformed into a blood-red armor, encasing Enzo completely, with exquisitely detailed patterns on its surface.
This transformation lefts Andrew and Curtis stunned.
Enzo laughed and said, "Commander Andrew, thank you for your gift. It allowed me to balance the blood and fire elements within me so smoothly and even gain this additional benefit."
Enzo was genuinely grateful to Andrew.
The appearance of the Flame Wings and the blood-red armor was unexpected for him, and both, derived from the element pattern, possess extraordinary power and strength.
Andrew's face turned ashen.
The black fox he transformed into has its fur bristling, and its dark eyes showed emotion for the first time. Instead of continuing to attack with black-purple fireballs, he lunged directly at Enzo, moving with surprising agility despite his massive size.
However, Enzo's speed was equally impressive.
Particularly with his mastery of the space element pattern, Enzo could now perform short-range teleportations during combat, making it impossible for either side to gain the upper hand.
"You old fool, is that all you've got?"
Enzo taunts as he evades another attack.
The massive black fox roars in fury; Andrew swears this is the first time he has been so enraged.
A human, forcing him into this state.
He must be eliminated!
Andrew charged through the valley, leaping into the air with his mouth open wide, generating a terrifying suction to compress Enzo's evasive options.
But this left Curtis unprotected.
Ignoring Andrew, Enzo rushed towards Curtis, who, seeing Enzo approaching, cries out in terror, "Commander Andrew, save me!"
Hearing the commotion, Andrew shouts urgently, "Stop!"
Enzo naturally wouldn't listen to Andrew. He held a flamethrower and stood on top of Curtis' transformed Three Tailed Firefox head, lifting it high. Then he said to Andrew, "Commander Andrew, this time, you can't save him!"
Curtis pleaded, "Spare me! I'm willing to apologize and offer you a generous compensation."
Enzo scoffed and then drove his spear down with force.
The long spear pierced directly through Curtis' head, and flames spewed out, instantly igniting Curtis. Without even making a scream, Curtis died under the flames of the long spear.
Seeing this, Andrew is filled with rage.
He yelled at Enzo, "You're doomed! How dare you kill Curtis and a member of Snow Fox Territory! Enzo, the entire Snow Fox Territory will seek vengeance against you! Your faction and tribe will be wiped out by Snow Fox Territory!"
Hearing this, Enzo looked up.
Enzo looked up at Andrew's massive form in the sky, his eyes devoid of emotion, cold and pure blood-red.
He responded with a measured tone, "If anything happens to the Crimson Star Tribe, Snow Fox Territory will be erased. Commander Andrew, you can try to see if you can protect everyone in Snow Fox Territory."
This was clearly a threat.
But at this moment, Andrew did not dare to respond rashly.
Curtis had just died before his eyes, despite Andrew's earlier assurances that Curtis would be safe under his protection.
Most importantly, Andrew was certain of one thing—
Enzo could indeed carry out his threat.
At this moment, Andrew felt fear and deep regretted. If he hadn't antagonized Enzo, Snow Fox Territory could have had a powerful ally through Amy.
But now, allies had turned into enemies.
This was not the outcome Andrew desired, but once certain actions were taken, there were no chances for a redo.
Andrew sighed deeply.
He shifts back to his human form, lands on the ground, and looks at Enzo. After a long pause, he says, "In six months, the supernatural trial will take place in Elven Homeland, and Princess Amy will participate. Also, if you seek revenge, you can come to me.
If you target Snow Fox Territory, I will retaliate against the Crimson Star Tribe in kind."
Upon hearing this, Enzo did not respond.
With his massive Flame Wings flapping, Enzo ascended into the sky and opens a space portal, leaving the Broken Gorge and returning to Crimson Lake.
Back at Crimson Lake, he finds that Harvey has not left and is still waiting in the Crimson Lake territory.
Seeing Enzo return, Harvey rushes over.
Enzo asked coldly, "Is there something else?"
Harvey quickly explained, "Mr. Enzo, regarding the supernatural Trial Crystal at Star Peak, I'm not sure if you're interested."
"What do you mean?" Enzo inquired again.
Harvey smiled, "There's an agreement among the major royal families to send young members to compete in a tournament, with the winner obtaining the supernatural Trial Crystal. However, there's a loophole. There's no restriction on outside help."
Enzo immediately understood.
He looked at Harvey and said, "So, you want me to participate in the royal family's tournament?"
