Old Ancestor: Thrown Out By The Nanny From The Start Novel - Chapter 526

526 Fire Guardian

Water could nourish everything that grew while wood represented life and growth in nature.

The two elements not only healed his wounds but also replenished his spiritual essence. His strength improved again, and he was closer to his best state.

Himmel Soan was elated.

“Let’s go!” He nodded at Firey, and they flew toward the ball of fire.

!!
“I didn’t expect you to find me.” When they got close to the fireball, a red-haired muscular man appeared in front of them.

Himmel Soan’s speculation was right. The fire guardian was in that ball of fire.

“I’m hiding here, but you still found me.”

The fire guardian stared at Himmel Soan and said, “No one can stop someone who has a death wish. You voluntarily reached out to me, and you only have yourself to blame.”

“Are you so confident of yourself?” Himmel Soan was surprised.

Since the fire guardian lived in that ball of fire, he should have witnessed it when Himmel Soan defeated the water and wood guardians.

He should have an accurate understanding of Himmel Soan’s strengths. Even so, the fire guardian was still confident in his ability.

It meant the battle hadn’t put much pressure on him, showing his capability. Himmel Soan went on guard.

“Do you know why I hide in the fireball? It’s not just because I’m the fire guardian. More importantly, I’m the most short-tempered of the five. If anyone challenges me, I’ll destroy them.

“I didn’t hide in the fireball because I was scared. It’s just where I cultivate. I’ve set a rule for myself: If nobody seeks me out, I’ll never do anything. But you’re here now, and you’ve just signed your death certificate.”

As he spoke, the fire element filled the air. Everything seemed to be burning.

Fire could raze any and all to the ground. Although the fire guardian hadn’t made any move, his emotions were affecting the air around him.

Himmel Soan sensed his energy and realized he was a formidable enemy.

Although the fire guardian’s capability had been dropped to Himmel Soan’s level, his energy was far more aggressive.

“Fire dragon!” The fire guardian bellowed. A fire dragon appeared next to him.

The dragon opened its mouth as if it was going to devour everything.

The battle started. The fire guardian jumped right into it.

“Firey, back off!”

Himmel Soan told Firey to stay out of the attack range while he drew out his dagger.

The air was so hot that everything seemed to be on fire. Even Himmel Soan felt his water leaving his body as if he was going to be roasted to a crisp.

The heat was more terrifying than Firey’s.

Although Firey was the essence of nature, she was still young and couldn’t master the fire element as well as the fire guardian.

Himmel Soan’s eyes glinted. The dagger created a shield, protecting him from the heat created by the dragon.

Even so, the heat still made his skin crack. He lost 20% of his body fluid in an instant.

“I’m going to destroy that dragon!” Himmel Soan wouldn’t passively defend himself.

Instead, he launched an attack on the fire dragon. Thanks to the shield, he was able to approach it and cut off its head with one strike.

“Interesting!” The fire guardian was satisfied with Himmel Soan’s reaction.

It would be very boring if the fire dragon had killed Himmel Soan.

He couldn’t remember when was the last time he fought anybody. An opponent was so hard to come by, so of course, he didn’t want the battle to end so soon.

“I’m the fire guardian; all fire is under my control.

“I can set everything on fire. Even you are only fuel to my fire. Inferno!” The fire guardian yelled.

Himmel Soan felt a ball of fire burning inside him. He was startled.

The fire guardian’s control over the fire element had reached perfection.

It was just as the fire guardian said: Everything was his fuel. He was going to burn Himmel Soan from the inside out.

Himmel Soan’s pupils contracted. In a matter of seconds, he already felt his inside burning. If things continued, the fire guardian would have no need to attack him. The fire alone could kill Himmel Soan.

The stance was called “Inferno” for a reason.

In the realm of fire, everything was the fire guardian’s subject. He could burn and destroy anything with his thoughts.

“Stop!” Himmel Soan bellowed.

Smoke was rising out of his body.

If he hadn’t been using all his strength to resist the fire, his internal organs would have been burned to ashes.

His forehead was covered with cold sweat from the pain, which was immediately vaporized.

In the end, he didn’t have any sweat left because the fire had dried up everything.

Himmel Soan tried his best to suppress the fire with his spiritual essence, but his effort was futile. Instead of putting it out, his spiritual essence only fueled it and made the fire even more intense.

Although the spiritual essence protected his internal organs from the fire, it was only a temporary relief.

Once his spiritual essence ran out, the fire would devour him.

His spiritual essence wouldn’t last much longer. In ten minutes, the fire would eat him up.

“This fire can burn spiritual essence. No matter how much spiritual essence I activate, I can’t suppress the fire. It will only make the situation worse.”

Himmel Soan soon realized something. He was only stretching out the time before the ultimate death.

He looked from Firey to the fire guardian and made a risky plan.

If he couldn’t suppress the fire, how about letting it burn?

If other people knew his thoughts, they would consider him mad.
