A powerful golden shield, formed by the scales of a majestic dragon, protected Lim Kris from the Fire Clan leader's ultimate strike. The shimmering scales reflected the fiery aura around, leaving the battlefield stunned.
From above, the earth trembled as both a dragon and a phoenix descended in unison. Their presence was overwhelming, as their immense power emanated from the skies. These guardians of Chen Franz's temple had intervened to save his disciples.
The dragon's thunderous voice reverberated across the battlefield:
"How dare mortals bring harm to the disciples of our creator!"
The Fire Clan leader took a step back, his expression laced with both shock and defiance. He managed to regain his composure as he muttered:
"Dragon and Phoenix... I thought beings like you could only be found in the Upper World. What brings such interference to the mortal realm?"
The dragon's eyes glowed ominously as it answered:
"We are here to protect the sacred temple of Chen Franz."
The Fire Clan leader's eyes narrowed as confusion painted his face.
"Chen Franz? Who is that?"
This time, the phoenix spoke, its fiery wings spreading wide as flames surged through the skies.
"Our creator. The one who forged the path for us and gave us life."
The Fire Clan leader paused, his face twisting into recognition.
"Ahh... the so-called Mysterious Man!" He chuckled darkly, his arrogance showing once more. "Do you think your fancy titles will scare me? Dragon and Phoenix, let's see how mighty you truly are!"
With those words, the Fire Clan leader unleashed his ultimate power. The battlefield lit up with flames hotter than the sun, swirling around him like a tornado of destruction.
The clash began with the heavens rumbling as fire clashed with the elements of the Dragon and Phoenix. The dragon roared, summoning waves of earth and water to counter the flames. The phoenix soared high, raining holy fire that rivaled even the Fire Clan leader's infernos.
Despite his immense strength, the Fire Clan leader soon found himself overwhelmed. Alone, he could not withstand the combined might of the dragon and phoenix. Each strike left him bloodied and battered, his breaths growing ragged with every passing moment.
Finally, after a devastating clash of energies, the Fire Clan leader collapsed, his body covered in burns and bruises. Yet, even in his defeat, he refused to fall entirely. He staggered to his feet, wiping blood from his mouth, and laughed grimly.
"Do you think I have no final card to play?" he spat.
The dragon's voice was cold and commanding.
"Mortal, show us your so-called trump card. It won't change your fate."
The Fire Clan leader grinned wickedly and shouted toward the sky:
"Ancestor of the Fire Clan, I call for your aid!"
The heavens split open as a terrifying presence descended from the Immortal Realm. A fiery figure, adorned in robes of flame, emerged with an aura that dwarfed even the dragon and phoenix. The ancestor's voice boomed across the battlefield:
"Who dares to harm the Fire Clan?"
The phoenix's flames dimmed slightly in awe.
"An Immortal? You're of the highest rank within the Fire Clan..."
The ancestor smirked, his aura of fire suffocating even the mighty dragon and phoenix.
"Indeed, I am from the Immortal Realm. Dogs like you dare challenge my lineage? Now, taste the wrath of a true immortal!"
With that, the ancestor unleashed his power, the entire battlefield trembling as his fiery might surged.
