Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 435 Blocking the Rainforest Demons, Detonating the Orisaba Volcano!
Facing a horde of demons in the rainforest, like a green tide.

At the forefront of the US defense line, a team of fire-type super-tier mages, who had been on high alert, quickly formed a joint spellcasting formation.

Their expressions were solemn, and their bodies were filled with surging flame magic. Star palaces lit up one by one, connecting and resonating with each other!
"Gate of Hellfire—Red Fire Explosion!"

The leading mage roared and thrust his hands forward violently!
The other mages attacked simultaneously.

In an instant, the space in front of them seemed to be forcibly torn apart by a pair of invisible giant hands!
One after another, gates burning with dark red flames burst open! Inside the gates was a sea of ​​molten lava churning with destructive energy!

“Rumble——!!!”

In the next instant, countless dark red fireballs, like small meteorites, burst forth from the Gate of Inferno like a torrential downpour!

It slammed into the charging horde of plant demons!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The continuous explosions echoed across the battlefield!

Each fireball that lands will unleash a massive ring of fire and shockwave, instantly igniting, shattering, and turning the surrounding demonic plants, poisonous vines, and spore-covered fungi into ashes!
The pungent smell of burning permeated the air, and a huge blank area was blasted out of the forefront of the surging green wave by this violent fiery hell!

As expected, the vast majority of plant-based demons still retain an instinctive fear and vulnerability to fire.

A full pair of fire-type super-tier spells successfully repelled the first fierce attack of the rainforest demons, temporarily stabilizing the defenses and buying precious breathing time for the rear.

However, the true nature of the rainforest monsters is far more complex than that.

Just as the flames had not yet been completely extinguished and the human mages had just breathed a sigh of relief.

From the depths of that dense, green, demonic mist, a heavy, mountain-like footstep slowly echoed.

Each step caused the earth to tremble slightly.

A massive figure parted the demonic mist and stepped into the scorched battlefield.

It is not purely plant-based; more than half of its body is composed of a special kind of dark, porous, yet exceptionally hard rock, as if it were covered in a natural rock armor.

Twisted vines and metallic-looking branches sprouted from the cracks in the rocks and entwined around them.

The aura it exuded had clearly reached the level of an invincible monarch!

The giant rock banyan monarch coldly stared at the still lingering flames before it slammed its massive rock arms into the ground!

"Rumble--"

A massive barrier, several meters thick and tens of meters high, made of a mixture of rock and hard wood, rose up from the ground like a city wall, forcefully blocking the path of the spreading flames!
The raging flames crashed against the barrier, scorching the surface vegetation but failing to shake the core rock structure!
Its appearance seemed to be a signal.

"Roar--!"

"hiss--!"

"Om-!"

Immediately afterwards, dozens of incredibly powerful monarch-level demonic auras erupted simultaneously from behind the rainforest demons!
Various monarch-level demons of different forms—including the Ghost Blade Mantis King wielding scythe-like limbs, the Corrosive Poison Flower Queen spraying corrosive sap, and the Strangler Demon Tree King with roots writhing like giant pythons—launched a terrifying charge at the same time!

Ignoring the remaining flames, they trampled over the ashes of their companions and crushed into the second line of defense hastily erected by the American mages!

The battlefield instantly entered its most brutal phase! Magical light and sorcery energy clashed wildly, with explosions, roars, and dying cries intertwining into a cacophony.

The American sorcerers did their best to resist.

Mages were constantly being attacked by monarch-level demons, their shields shattered, their bodies torn apart, or turned into pus by the venom.

The demons also suffered heavy casualties under the intense magical bombardment.

The defensive line was constantly retreating in the back-and-forth struggle, and the number of casualties rose sharply.

Right at the time of this major battle on the main battlefield.

Margaret, the forbidden spellcaster who had previously severely injured the Demon Lord of the Extreme Behemoth, did not appear on the main battlefield.

She led several elite mages skilled in earth and fire magic, quietly bypassing the main battlefield and arriving at the Orizaba volcano in south-central Mexico!
This is a majestic, large dormant volcano, standing silently.

According to ancient texts and local legends, deep within this volcano, not only do a large number of fire demons live by relying on geothermal energy and fire elements, but near its core lava pool, there may even be a sleeping fire demon emperor!
Looking into the distance at the ever-spreading, seemingly unstoppable green disaster.

They decided to detonate this dormant volcano!

They hoped to use the widespread, cataclysmic flames and lava from the volcanic eruption to create an insurmountable fire barrier, fundamentally stopping the terrifying spread of the rainforest demons, which resembled spore reproduction!
The plan was extremely risky, and the success rate was unknown, but they had no way out.

Several mages surrounded the crater and began to set up an extremely complex and dangerous guiding magic circle.

Once the magic circle was complete, Margaret decisively channeled her power into it!

Then came the earth-shattering explosion!
"boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

It was as if a star had been ignited deep within the earth!
The entire Orizaba volcano shuddered violently, and then an indescribable, destructive force erupted from the depths of the Earth's core!
The crater was completely blasted open with a deafening roar, and thick volcanic ash mixed with toxic gases shot into the sky tens of thousands of meters high like a giant pillar, instantly blocking out the sunlight and turning day into night!
Immediately afterwards, the hot, viscous, dark red lava, like a giant dragon breaking free from its cage, surged out of the blasted mountain pass and roared down the mountainside!

Countless huge rocks, blasted away, shot in all directions like cannonballs.

The earth cracked open with a roar, and scorching subterranean fire erupted from the fissures.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur and the crackling of flames.

This scene is like the end of the world!

Amidst the gushing torrent of lava, a furious roar, seemingly from the ancient wilderness, resounded throughout the entire world, even temporarily drowning out the roar of the volcanic eruption!

"Roar--!!!"

With this roar, a colossal figure composed entirely of flowing lava, burning boulders, and pure fire elements slowly rose to its feet in the center of the erupting crater!
It has twisted, fiery horns on its head, and its body is like a moving mountain range. With each step it takes, lava drips down, scorching the earth and creating deep craters.

Its eyes, composed entirely of incandescent flames, burned with boundless rage, awakened from its slumber!

The legend is true!

Deep within the Orizaba volcano, there truly exists a fiery demon emperor—the Lava Mountain Giant, Flame Demise!
Margaret and the others' plan succeeded, but what they awakened was not only a devastating natural disaster, but also a terrifying being that represented destruction and death!
The battlefield situation is developing in an even more unpredictable direction!
