Chapter 39 - Anda's Wrath

"Idiot!" The leader of the masked men cursed. They had intel about their men dying from shattered bones but he still charged at the demonic bison without thinking.

The punch from Leyvi just now seriously injured him and he had been taking healing pills to heal his injuries when he saw his subordinate get rammed to death. He stared at the unconscious and bleeding Leyvi on the back of the demonic bison and wondered how this young man was so strong at the early stage of Foundation Building. He wanted his secret!

"Don't face the demonic bison head-on! Kill the young man on its back from a distance!" He ordered his last men as he stood up ready to fight again.

Mr. Bison was immediately worried and panicked when he heard this. How should he protect his master like this? Furthermore, he could feel Leyvi's blood hardening on his furs, if he wasn't treated soon he would die.

The two masked men were flying separately above Mr. Bison. One was in front of him and the other one was behind him. They wanted to kill Leyvi while distracting Mr. Bison.

The masked leader conjured a new dozen ice tridents and shot them toward Mr. Bison. Seeing that Mr. Bison was about to deal with ice tridents, the masked men behind him shot out a set of flying daggers straight at Leyvi's head.

"HOW DARE YOU HARM MY LEYVI!!!!!!!" 

An extremely angry voice was heard echoing in the dark of night. A beam of fire instantly shot out from the bright fire sphere floating in the sky. Since the distance was not far, it immediately hit the masked men behind Mr. Bison and turned him to ash. A small shriek could be heard but it soon disappeared before it could become loud. Even the flying dagger was incinerated without any trace.

A young woman with blue eyes and long black hair fluttering in the wind surrounded by rings of fire appeared from a dispersed fire sphere. She would have been a great beauty if not because of the birthmark around her left eye.

The masked leader's eyes widened with fear behind the mask. What kind of fire was that? How could it instantly burn a late-stage Foundation Building realm? Even a spirit weapon vanished without a trace! Run! He must run!

As soon as he turned away to run, multiple rings of fire appeared around him creating a big sphere of fire. He was instantly trapped. He tried forcing his way through the fire rings but the fire was like a tangible wall preventing him from leaving. How was this possible? He conjured a thick ice sphere to protect him as he forced his way through the fire rings again, but it was futile. The thick ice sphere melted quickly as the fire rings shrunk and shrunk.

"Suffer to death." Anda calmly said.

She went to Leyvi's side and fed him every single alchemy product she had that could heal him as soon as possible. She was fearful of losing Leyvi this time. When she was inside the fire sphere, she was aware of everything that was happening outside. However, she couldn't do anything because she was forced to be inside to do something.

Her heart ached when she saw Leyvi losing his mind for her sake.

Her heart ached when Leyvi hurt himself for her sake.

Her heart ached when Leyvi got attacked by the masked men.

Her heart ached when Leyvi summoned Mr. Bison, not to protect himself, but to protect her.

From now on, anyone who dares hurt her husband,

She will torture them!

She will burn them!

She will raze the ground!

She will scorch the earth!

SHE WILL BURN EVEN THE HEAVENS!!

ARRRGGHHHHHHHH!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! HELLLPPPPPP!!!

Miserable screams could be heard in the background. Anda knew what the man was going through. She released a scent that stimulated his brain to receive more pain. The shrinking fire rings slowly burned the masked leader's clothes, skin, and flesh, followed by the organs and lastly his bones.

He died a slow, painful death.

"Mr. Bison, let's return to the city but please go around the city and enter from the opposite gate," Anda instructed. Her hands were still caressing Leyvi who was healing on her lap.

"Yes madam!" Mr. Bison snorted. Oh, wait. She can't understand him like the boss.

"Yes madam!" Mr. Bison sent her a sound transmission. Stripey taught him how to do it while in the spirit beast bag.

Anda decided to go around and enter from another gate to avoid any eyes on them. What happened tonight will soon be known by the people of the city and it would cause a huge uproar. Someone would be sent to investigate the death of the city lord.

That's right. She knew that the explosion caused the death of many Core Formation experts including City Lord Magna.

It was all due to the mutated special fire she acquired.

The special fire was attracted to her and instinctively called her because she could use the fire concept. She had the aura of Dao on her which was extremely attractive to the special fire.

When the special fire finished merging, and even mutated due to absorbing the poison bomb, it instinctively decided to expel the accumulated chaotic energy from the long merging process, resulting in a huge explosion.

As soon as it stabilized, it immediately went for Anda, the user of the fire concept, the one blessed by the Fire Dao. 

Anda was instantly engulfed by the fire sphere where the special fire instinctively initiated a refinement process. It wanted to follow and be used by Anda.

She was flabbergasted at first and was concerned about what happened outside. Not only that, she couldn't even go out of the flame sphere no matter what she did. She screamed with all her might to let him know that she was fine, but it still didn't work.

Therefore, she was forced to refine the special fire as fast as possible while being extremely anxious about Leyvi.

As she was refining the special fire, she saw the memories of the special fire and knew roughly what was going on all this time.

When she finally finished refining the special fire and gained complete control over it, she knew that this mutated special fire would be able to help her on the Alchemy path for a long time. Not only was it able to refine countless alchemy ingredients, but it also possessed a terrifying destructive power which exponentially increased her combat power.

Although she gained an extraordinary treasure out of nowhere, she couldn't be happy about it because it harmed Leyvi in the process. They almost killed her beloved husband in front of her, thankfully she managed to complete the refining in time or she swore she would burn the world if anything happened to Leyvi.

"Oh? Why is it raining?" 

Anda swept her tears away the moment she heard Leyvi's voice.

"Husband, you are awake!" Anda bent over and hugged Leyvi.

"Mmmmm....what a nice feeling. What happened? Did we manage to get away from those people?" Leyvi asked while enjoying the heavenly mound.

Anda let him do as he pleased. She would allow everything.

"I killed them," She replied.

"Really?" Leyvi was surprised. He thought that Mr. Bison managed to bring Anda to run away. He didn't expect her to kill them alone.

Anda nodded. She then redescribed the event that happened when he lost his mind.

Leyvi sighed. "We are lucky that you got a power boost from the special fire or we would all die."

"What lucky? Isn't it because of this thing you almost died? It also exposed our position to the masked men. I'm still angry at it! It should ask my permission first even if it wanted me to be its master! What happened to consent?" Anda complained.

The special fire inside Anda felt a bit anxious hearing this. Master, I'm sorry.

Leyvi was dumbfounded. Girl, you expect a fire to know what consent is? 

"Wife, calm down. Don't blame the special fire. It was my fault too that I jumped to a conclusion and lost my mind. Don't be mad at it anymore, after all, it's going to be your partner for a long time," Leyvi tried to dispel her anger toward the special fire. He gently patted her back to calm her.

What if she hated the special fire and made it hard for her to do alchemy in the future? He doesn't want her future to be destroyed like this.

Seeing that her husband was trying to coax her, her heart softened as she said, "Fine...I won't be mad anymore."

The special fire inside Anda was overjoyed. Thank you, Mr. Husband!

Suddenly Leyvi looked up. He felt that he sensed something but when he checked again, there was nothing.

Meanwhile,

"Interesting. This kid could even notice me. His spiritual sense is quite terrifying." A middle-aged-looking man with long white hair and a white beard praised Leyvi while curling his beard.

He was still in the range of Leyvi's spiritual sense but now he needed to put more effort into hiding his presence.
