Bombing
Michael and Zeroa didn't waste time and resources to repeat the plan to attack the next half-empty settlement. And again, the Lord of the Blaze household was a Tier-5 powerhouse with an incredibly weak foundation. This time, however, the Lord was an old man. Michael remembered him from Olivia's memories as the failure of the Blaze household.
He took three years to reach Tier-2 and almost ten years to advance to Tier-3. But now he was suddenly a Tier-5 powerhouse. That was surprising, yet it wasn't a reason to spare the Lord. The Elemental Empress' fireball crashed heavily onto his settlement, only to cause no harm. The old Lord blocked the attack, consuming the fireball by using his Soultrait, Pyro Consuma. It wasn't difficult for the Lord to do so, and he even gained energy by converting the fiery flames into origin energy.
