Shen Yuan reappeared high above the Lava Wyrm, his crimson blade gleaming with radiant light and crackling thunder. He prepared to strike down when a sudden change in the beast's movement caught his eye.

The Lava Wyrm's massive tail whipped upward with blinding speed, a molten blur that closed the distance in an instant.

Shen Yuan's eyes flashed as his Void Steps activated reflexively, his figure flickering just as the tail approached.

He reappeared several meters away, but the Lava Wyrm twisted its massive body mid-air, its tail changing trajectory with uncanny precision.

BOOM!

The tail slammed into the ground where Shen Yuan had just materialized, the resulting shockwave and debris engulfing him.

The force sent him flying through the air like a meteor, his body colliding with the cavern wall. The impact shattered the wall, creating a deep crater as the ground beneath them trembled.
