Chapter 401 - The Tragic Fire God, Wallace

Chapter 401 - The Tragic Fire God, Wallace

Of course, Wallace didn't know what everyone was thinking.
Of course, even if he knew, he couldn't care less.
Right now, he was wrapped in his own flames.
Unlike the Ghoul, he didn't have such high fire resistance.
Thus, very quickly, a scream was heard.
"Ah... Help!"
The ear-piercing cry for help broke the silence in the cave.
No one dared to be negligent. Although Wallace was a pompous man, he was still one of the most powerful fighters. At this time, every strength was very important.
Therefore, everyone hurried to help Wallace extinguish the flames.
After the flames were extinguished, everyone could not help but laugh when they saw Wallace's appearance.
At this moment, where was the arrogant young master from the beginning?
His hair had been completely burnt, and his clothes were tattered, as if he had been taken out from a trash pile.
After being rescued, Wallace looked at the gazes of the people around him and was instantly filled with shame and anger.
But in the blink of an eye, he thought, 'That's not right!'
Although the Ghoul was a tier 7 Ghoul, how could it be completely immune to his fire magic?
That was impossible!
Unless... The Ghoul wasn't afraid of fire magic at all.
At the thought of this, Wallace was instantly angry and furious. He looked at James with killing intent in his eyes.
Why was that so?
Because the Ghoul was afraid of fire. It was something that James had said.
However, from the current situation, the Ghoul was completely immune to fire magic.
This was completely different from what James had said.
Furthermore, Wallace was very suspicious whether the Ghoul was afraid of fire because James was using Klein's name to trick him!
With this in mind, Wallace pointed his spear at James.
"James, are you lying to me, or is Klein lying to us? Everyone has seen it. The Ghoul isn't afraid of fire at all!"
When everyone heard this, they felt that it made perfect sense.
Why?
Because the Ghoul's behavior was too strange.
Even if Wallace's fire was weak, how could a Ghoul that was afraid of fire not have any reaction?
Clearly, this was illogical. Then, the problem lay with James.
With that thought, the problem was solved.
"I knew it! I've seen Wallace's fire before, and we also saw it ourselves. The firepower isn't weak, right?"
"That's right. Thankfully, we saved him in time. Otherwise, Wallace would have been burned to ashes. Furthermore, my hands were burnt when I saved him!"
"Right, right. It must be that the Ghoul isn't afraid of fire. Either James tricked us, or Klein lied to us!"
Therefore, everyone looked at James with doubt, anger, and dissatisfaction.
If this was true, then the reason behind James' actions was worth pondering.
If the Ghoul knew what everyone was thinking, it naturally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Why?
Because the reason why it wasn't afraid of Wallace's flames wasn't because it was immune to flames. Instead, after being burned by Klein's purplish-black flames, it had increased its resistance to flames.
What grade were the purplish-black flames?
The temperature of the flames reached at least three thousand.
That was an existence that could even burn rocks.
And Wallace's flames only carried traces of black. It was still thousands of kilometers away from Klein's flames. If it had been before Klein's purplish-black flames baptized it... Perhaps Wallace's flames would have dealt a certain amount of damage to the Ghoul.
But now?
This was nothing!
However, no one knew about the Ghoul's situation.
Then, they looked at James, who was faintly surrounded by everyone.
At this moment, not only was he not afraid, James even felt like laughing.
Why?
The reason was simple.
Wallace's flames were useless. It wasn't that the Ghoul wasn't afraid of fire, but that his flames were completely useless.
After all, what level was Klein at? What level was he at?
But even so, he still had the guts to mock God Klein?
What a joke.
With that thought in mind, James said mockingly, "Have you ever thought that your flames aren't hot enough?"
The moment James said that, everyone instantly looked at Wallace.
At that moment, Wallace was even more embarrassed and angry.
He felt as though he had been stripped naked, running naked in front of everyone on the street.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and said, "How... How is that possible? My fire magic is the strongest. How can Klein compare to me?"
"Pfft!"
Just as Wallace finished speaking, the mockery on James' face intensified.
It wasn't just him. Even the people beside him looked at Wallace with a strange expression.
Why?
Because who was Klein?
There's no need to say that, right?
Just looking at how Klein remained in first place from the moment he entered the catacombs world, it was enough to show just how terrifying Klein's strength was, right?
Especially after he instantly killed second place on the rankings. It showed everyone how powerful Klein was.
But just like that, there were still people who shamelessly said that Klein was trash.
Wasn't this a joke!?
Do you think that the rankings are yours?
Therefore, James said disdainfully, "I'll give you some color, and you start panting. Don't you see your strength? Aren't there people here stronger than you? To think that you can even lick your face and compete with God Klein. Truly, ignorant people are fearless."
"And that tiny bit of flame of yours is probably only enough to bake a bun, right? And you want to kill a Ghoul? You must be dreaming."
"The funniest thing is that after hearing a few words of flattery, you think that your fire magic is the strongest in the catacombs world. How ridiculous."
James didn't give Wallace any face at all.
Why?
It was because Wallace had insulted his idol, God Klein.
He had already known that the outcome would be like this.
After all, it was obvious.
Putting aside the many epic weapons that God Klein had brought out, even the Blood Ape that they had just fought, they had to lose seven or eight people before they could successfully take it down. And Klein had taken down the Blood Ape alone.
Was there a difference in strength between the two?
Of course!
Therefore, when Wallace boasted, James knew that this fellow was a piece of trash.
He never expected that he wouldn't even be a piece of trash in the end!
"You... You... You!"
Wallace gritted his teeth, his face pale as he pointed at James, unable to speak for a long time.
But clearly, Wallace had forgotten the environment he was in.
There was still a powerful enemy behind him!
The Ghoul did not care about the internal strife of humans.
'Since you are not prepared, then you are courting death!'
Thinking of this, the Ghoul launched an attack without hesitation.
Instantly, the magic in its hand spread and it smashed towards Wallace's back.
An incomparably large blood ball smashed onto the defenseless Wallace.
Pfft--!
The hit Wallace could not hold on for even a second and was instantly surrounded by the blood ball.
Then his tall body melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
