While I was flying, even though I was hiding my aura, being at an altitude of several kilometers, I continued to inspect the surroundings of the center of the sunset forest, in the future I will visit it very often, if I do not move here completely, so knowledge, albeit very conditional, for I saw mainly the terrain, it will still come in handy. He also continued to restore spiritual strength and some especially damaged scales, although the bear was not equal to me, but biting hard enough, so that my scales on his paws were damaged, albeit not a critical situation, but it is better to be in optimal condition at the time of the battle.

After 5 hours, I finally saw my target, and it turned out to be larger than I thought, the pool of ice and fire itself was small, only fifty meters in diameter, but the rest of the crater space was quite large, six hundred meters in diameter, I already really liked it , because this place is quite enough for the living of our whole family and the planting of the rarest herbs, and even the fact that now the entire free space of the crater was covered with herbs, even if from this height I cannot accurately determine their type, but rare medicines and treasures should be there be enough. I would have continued to admire the view, because there was something to see, but ... my gaze came across a twenty-meter icy spiked tortoise shell, whose head was now lying on a stone, while a huge blood-red lotus, whose size was not inferior to a turtle, was growing next to it. Well, here are the current owners of the territory, everything is just like the clubfoot said, but it is strange that he kept silent about the spines of the turtle, although ... some spirit animals have innate skills that they can use almost from birth at the level of instincts, perhaps this is a manifestation of this very innate feature, most likely she can launch these spikes at the enemy or reflection of damage, it will be necessary to attack her more carefully, if possible, forcing her to release the innate skill early.

Observing them, at the same time completely hiding the aura and relying only on sight, besides, not looking at them with a direct gaze, and examining the ground around them, most strong spirit beasts are able to detect the attention directed at them, so it is better not to pierce on trifles. noticed that they were in deep meditation, there was a funnel of surrounding spiritual power around them.

This is something I expected, now is the perfect time to attack, but I have to rely purely on my body, if I release my spiritual power ahead of time, they will feel it, so I began to dive down, aiming right at the core of the lotus, this is not should kill him, too vegetable animals are tenacious, but it should be enough strength to inflict a serious wound, this will weaken his capabilities, and there it will already be possible to deal with the turtle. I felt that she was no match for me, an intuitive understanding that she was at a lower level, that I felt something like this in a battle with the masters of the spirit of the ice earth dragon, apparently the bear was right, she has a dragon pedigree that is small enough to it could be suppressed, moreover, there was another small call, but from the very pool of ice and fire, more precisely from its depths, and if the first felt like something insignificant, small, then the second was full of greatness, but also and a strange closeness, I felt a kinship, albeit a very subtle one.

Well, even if the souls of the kings scattered, their inheritance remained, so I completely relaxed and focused on the beginning of the battle, at this time I continued to strengthen myself, even if I did not risk releasing the spiritual force outside, but the internal spreading passively they are not able to feel , so I dispersed the spiritual force along my meridians, saturating it with muscles, scales and bones, while trying to shield the internal organs, falling at full speed from a height of 4 kilometers even for me would be fatal without the protection of spiritual force.

Continuing to gain speed, I rapidly approached the lotus and after 30 seconds I rammed it along with the rhizome, while going deep into my entire height, without even spoiling the terrain, because I completely controlled my impulse and, after the collision, completely extinguished him, but at the end he managed to feel something and shift his body and the main root a little to the left, so instead of leaving a hole in the lotus larger than the lotus itself, I tore off a third of its size, but this only undermined his strength, while not being fatal, so it can still give me problems.

-You are looking for death !!! - immediately after my attack, when I did not even have time to get out of the hole, a turtle flew into me, sending my carcass flying, after which it launched ice stakes, and the lotus did not lag behind and launched a huge column of fire, several tens of meters in diameter.

-Ahahahaha, catch up with the fossil, you don't want to destroy your house during the battle, - Dodging the first and flying through the second attack, even if it looked spectacular and dangerous, the energy reserve in it was small, so I didn't even dodge, I started teasing this skull

Ashku, I'm sure she also doesn't want to destroy such a trump place, and even more so to me. So, after my nudge, I flew to the forest near the crater, I don't really feel sorry for him, while watching my opponents, because if they decide to stay in the center of the crater, one cannot do without destruction, fortunately they both followed me, even the lotus, albeit wounded, but waddling his roots in my direction, while sending more and more fire attacks, some even managed to scorch me, dodge dozens of streams of fire, each thick from you and attacking from different sides, was not possible.

Having flown several tens of kilometers from the crater with a source of ice and fire, while not ceasing to exchange attacks with the lotus, I stopped, this place is quite enough for a fight and there is not even the slightest chance that a stray attack will touch the source, and the turtle did not keep itself waiting and , breaking down all the trees in its path, immediately went into a frontal attack while dozens of multi-meter ice spears flew around her, which completely covered her carcass from the sides, while rotating and aiming at me with the tip. Well, creative, but we are also not sewn with a finger, I thought, and just went to the front, starting to create ice stakes, but at the same time preparing an attack from the ground. When there were 10 meters between us, while our spears had already begun to collide, and the turtle was preparing for a collision, an ice column hit right under it, throwing the upper part of its carcass into the air, where my blow at full power immediately landed, sending it to fly a hundred meters narrower than him.

Before the turtle had time to land, and I tried to inflict more damage, columns of flame burst out in front of me, which were supposed to hit my abdominal part, and here the lotus hobbled. When I moved my head to the side where the spiritual force came from for the attack, I was met by another stream of flame that went directly to my carcass, so I decided to answer this attack with my own and exhaled with an icy breath to meet her, which looked like a collision of two fires, after which there was a burnt place with a depression of tens of meters in radius and a huge amount of steam, which, however, did not interfere with my spiritual instinct, so I perfectly "saw" that the lotus crawled behind the turtle and began to attack from there.

Suddenly I had a small idea, and as soon as the turtle decided to take revenge and went on the attack again, I decided to carry it out. Having blocked the lotus attacks with numerous ice walls, I again collided head-on with the turtle, but this time, instead of hitting from below, I struck from above, covering my sides with ice spikes for reliability, and as soon as the attack passed and the turtle tasted the ground, I took off on it, grabbed with all his paws and just threw it under him, sending a few more ice stakes after him, which threw her even further, at the same time, completely turning over, flew at maximum speed to attack the lotus, sending forward his icy breath, where he swelled 20% of his reserve spiritual strength.

Lotus also responded with his attack, but apparently did not calculate his strength, and she completely dissipated, only slightly weakening mine, realizing that this would hurt him even more, if not kill him at all, he, surprising me, released a domain that not only was able to weaken my breathing so much that he met him with his fire, blowing it up, but was also able to suppress 10% of my characteristics. It is unlikely that this is the full effect of his domain, but he was not able to show more, because even during the start of the attack, I began to release my fog, which was still replacing my domain, therefore, after the explosion of our attacks, he was completely surrounded by it, while his domain affected the space only around him, preventing my skill from affecting him, but he could not suppress it, perhaps he was expecting my attack from any other direction, but I broke through the remnants of the previous explosion, which had not yet dissipated, and, having become wise, tore the already wounded and weakened lotus carcass apart.
