515: Chapter 515 Difficult to Deal With

"Captain, look!"

"My god, what is that!"

"An exotic beast, what a terrifying exotic beast!"

"..."

...

The team members' mouths twitched as they watched; their eyes widened in shock, unable to believe what they were seeing.

At that moment, a massive exotic beast was crawling out from within the volcanic crater!

It looked just like a bat—yes!

A giant bat!

However, this bat's body was covered in Fire Crystals, which seemed to bloom with flames, releasing intense heat!

The captain's legs went weak as he witnessed the scene!

Given its size, this was undoubtedly a King-level Exotic Beast!

A Fire Bat!

And a flying-type exotic beast at that!

This time, they were in trouble!

King-level Exotic Beasts were already difficult to deal with, but a flying-type King-level Exotic Beast would be even more troublesome!

Boom!

The sound of an explosion echoed from within the crater.

Billowing flames immediately erupted from the volcano.

Relying on the force of the erupting flames, the Fire Bat flew straight out of the crater.

As its wings flapped, streaks of Fiery Breath spewed from them.

The surrounding trees began to burn the moment they were touched by this Fiery Breath.

In an instant, raging flames enveloped the entire mountain range.

"Such terrifying power!"

"Captain, what do we do now?"

A nearby guard spoke up while the captain watched the Fire Bat's movements. Having just emerged from the lava, the Fire Bat seemed unaccustomed to its body and was hovering in the air to adjust.

But soon after, it fixed its gaze on a certain location, flapped its wings, and flew toward it.

The place the captain saw the Fire Bat looking at was nowhere else but the direction of the Imperial Capital!

This creature had actually set its sights on the Imperial Capital and wanted to go there to cause chaos!

"Look, that thing's heading for the Imperial Capital to wreak havoc. Brothers, let's do what little we can."

As the captain spoke, he lifted a massive rock from nearby.

With a low growl, he hurled it at the Fire Bat.

The Fire Bat looked at the rock, which seemed minuscule to it, with indifference. It then spat out a breath of fire, and the rock melted instantly in mid-air.

Then, it turned its gaze toward the captain and his men who had thrown the rock.

Those blood-red eyes were like deep pits that could snatch one's soul!

The Fire Bat then flew toward the captain and the others.

"Run!"

The captain shouted at them, but it was already too late. The Fire Bat was incredibly fast; in an instant, it arrived above them and swept past their heads.

A scorching Aura immediately swept toward them.

It melted them instantly!

They turned into wisps of black smoke.

Everything vanished completely, and even the mountaintop was scorched red-hot!

Then, the Fire Bat let out a shrill cry and headed toward the Imperial Capital.

On this side, King Ming and the others were waiting in formation, ready to see exactly what this thing was.

Soon, a shrill cry echoed through the air.

It drew everyone's attention.

They looked ahead, and then their eyes widened in shock, unable to believe what they were seeing!

"What is this!"

A King-level Exotic Beast!

With this size and this Aura, it was undoubtedly a King-level Exotic Beast!

"Damn! Such an exotic beast came while King Yu and the others were away!" King Ming watched with a trace of resolve in his eyes. After all, this beast was too difficult to handle. A King-level, flying-type, fire-type exotic beast—these three attributes combined made it a taboo-class creature.

For such an exotic beast to be born near the Imperial Capital at a time like this was truly a stroke of bad luck!

However, there was no other way now. King Ming had seen the Fire Bat's dive just now; that single dive had nearly melted the entire mountaintop...

If this Fire Bat entered the Imperial Capital Barrier and dove toward the residential areas, the Imperial Capital Barrier would turn into a living hell!

He could never allow such a thing to happen!

King Ming looked at everyone. "Get ready. Regardless of whether we can stop this beast, we must stall it first!"

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

...

Voices rang out one after another. King Ming narrowed his eyes; this time, it would likely be a fight to the death!

At this moment, the Fire Bat also saw them. It let out a shrill cry and flew toward them.

"Come on!"

Seeing the Fire Bat approach, King Ming swung the long chain of his Spirit Weapon in the air, then kicked off the ground and soared into the sky.

He lashed out with the long chain!

The chain, which appeared to be only ten meters long, actually extended to a length of several thousand meters after King Ming swung it, heading straight for the Fire Bat's eyes.

The Fire Bat spread its wings and, using the power of its Fiery Breath, soared straight up!

It easily dodged the chain's attack, but the chain pursued it, its length extending once more.

The sight of such a Weapon Spirit left the people below in awe. This was the first time they had seen King Ming's Weapon Spirit, and they were shocked that it possessed such formidable power and could extend to such a length.

It was simply terrifying.

However, in the sky, the Fire Bat's speed did not decrease as it frantically dodged the long chain.

Then, with a look of fury on its face, the Fire Bat glared at King Ming, spread its wings, and flew directly toward him.

"This beast!"

King Ming hadn't expected the creature to come straight for him.

Against its scorching power, he could only release his Domain Power to block it, but there were so many people here.

King Ming couldn't worry about that much now and released his Aura to its full extent!

Below, many High-ranking Officials watched the Fire Bat approach with determination on their faces.

"Everyone get ready! Attack together in a moment and see if we can knock it down!"

Everyone gripped their Weapon Spirits tightly and prepared themselves.

They waited for the Fire Bat.

But in the next moment...

Just as the Fire Bat was about to reach them, it suddenly pulled into an upward climb.

It didn't give them a chance to attack at all; instead, it poured its Fiery Breath down upon them!

Whoosh!

It was like a storm of fire. Even though King Ming used his Domain Power and vast energy to block it, many people were still engulfed by the flames.

Their bodies caught fire.

"Aaaah!"

"It's so hot!"

"Ah!"

...

In an instant, cries of agony rang out. King Ming looked down to see many guards already scorched by the flames and rolling on the ground, but even the ground was incredibly hot!

"Everyone, fall back!"

King Ming said, his teeth clenched tightly.

This beast was actually cunning enough to use such tactics to evade their attacks!
