"Very well, little Drakorii. Let me show you what true despair feels like."

As soon as the Howling Spire Lord uttered those words, it lifted its right hand, balled into a fist. A black storm swiftly converged within its massive hand, lightning crackling ominously.

Maggie didn't hesitate. Fiery wings burst from her back as she soared into the air. Despite their significant height difference, Maggie remained completely unshaken.

The Howling Spire Lord stood at 12 meters tall, its sheer size already oppressive. Yet, Maggie maintained her composure as if facing a creature of her own stature.

Raising her slender arm, she summoned a three-meter-long Flame Lance above her.

The Howling Spire Lord simply snorted in response to her action. It loosened its fist slightly, and a round, dark misty energy began to materialize and hover in its palm.

Without waiting any longer, it hurled the misty energy ball toward Maggie, a huge grin spreading across its indistinct face.

Maggie didn't hesitate. She launched the Flame Lance forward!

Swish!

Swish!

Both attacks sped through the air at the same velocity. When the two distinct energies collided, a powerful sound reverberated upon impact, creating a shockwave and a tornado-shaped burst of flames!

The Howling Spire Lord couldn't help but snicker.

"You are not bad, little girl. But it won't be enough to defeat me!"

The massive primal clenched its hands into fists once more. Lightning crackled as pairs of round, misty energy balls formed in both hands.

"Hmph! You're talking too much for a windbag!" Maggie retorted, summoning a pair of Flame Lances.

"It seems your elders never taught you how to respect an elder. Then, let me do it for their sake!"

With a low grunt, the Howling Spire Lord flicked the pair of misty energy balls toward Maggie. It didn't stop there; fierce winds swirled around both of its arms, creating gauntlet-like weapons of whirling air.

It hurled its fists forward, generating a fierce shockwave that traveled toward Maggie, increasing the speed of the misty energy balls.

Experience new tales on empire

Unyielding, Maggie refused to be underestimated. She hurled the Flame Lances forward!

This time, she followed up with fireballs that hurled into the air like homing missiles, targeting the Howling Spire Lord's back.

Swish!

Swish!

All her skills whistled through the air before colliding with the Lord's attacks, causing another wave of explosions and shockwaves that filled the sky with bright, windy-crimson flames!

As the fireballs neared the Howling Spire Lord, its misty body suddenly created a gaping hole, allowing the fireballs to pass smoothly through and head back toward Maggie.

Maggie subtly raised her eyebrows, slightly surprised for a moment. She then shifted her attention to the incoming fireballs.

It was the only flaw of the Homing Fireball—once released, she couldn't control it again. Now, her own attack was heading toward her.

But she showed no emotion despite the dire situation.

With a simple flick of her hand, a wave of flames swept over the homing fireballs, redirecting them to the opposite direction, heading once again toward the Howling Spire Lord.

Additionally, she summoned dozens of Flame Lances into the air and quickly launched them at the massive primal!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Witnessing this, the Howling Spire Lord punched forward with its fists covered in gust gauntlets, sending a strong shockwave that forced the incoming Flame Lances and fireballs to slow down before losing their momentum.

However, despite the Howling Spire Lord's defense, a few Flame Lances managed to pierce through its attack and landed on its body.

Boom!

A massive plume of flame erupted upon impact, accompanied by loud cheers from the spectating Origin Warriors on the ground.

"Nice hit!" someone exclaimed.

Their celebration was short-lived as the smoke was immediately swept away by a wind, revealing the Howling Spire Lord's unscathed appearance.

A chuckle escaped its mouth.

"Hehe, you're really not bad for a little girl…"

The Howling Spire Lord spoke in an amused voice, completely ignoring Maggie's previous attack.

Maggie slightly frowned at this, while the spectators stood visibly stunned.

"There's no way…" someone muttered in disbelief.

"Not even a scratch…" another remarked.

At this moment, a worried expression appeared on Orian's face.

"Sister Maggie…" she softly muttered, gazing at the small figure hovering in the air with obvious concern in her eyes.

On a building's rooftop, Vincent was equally surprised, witnessing a battle between Tier 3 figures.

Yes, Maggie was also a Tier 3 (1★) Origin Warrior.

Although the brief exchange between the two powerful individuals wasn't enough to determine who was stronger, it was sufficient for Vincent to doubt Mochi's prediction even more.

Based solely on Maggie's short performance against the Howling Spire Lord, he couldn't understand how a powerful Tier 3 Origin Warrior would just die.

He sensed that the Howling Spire Lord didn't possess enough strength to actually kill Maggie in one strike.

Or so he thought, until the Howling Spire Lord's aura suddenly burst, and fierce winds erupted from its body!

"Enough of playing around! I have somewhere I need to be!"

It exclaimed as its body began to swirl like a storm. Fierce gusts blasted outward as it let out a grunt.

"Ha!"

Lightning crackled in the sky as multiple massive tornadoes materialized in the air before spreading everywhere.

Maggie frowned upon witnessing this. She might avoid the tornadoes herself, but Orian and the other people in the town were a different matter.

The Howling Spire Lord didn't stop there. Using its mental ability and unique talent, it commanded the remaining spires to destroy the town in his mind.

"Destroy the town! Kill everything in sight!"

The remaining hundreds of spires released a low screech in acknowledgment as they began destroying the area!

Fierce winds almost engulfed the broken town, alerting Orian and the remaining Origin Warriors.

Maggie immediately noticed the chaos. She scoffed, "You finally showed your true nature! You savages!"

The Howling Spire Lord only chuckled at her words.

She ignored it completely and waved her hand, creating a huge wall of flame to block the spires from reaching Orian and the others.

However, in that brief moment, the Howling Spire Lord seized its opportunity. It appeared above Maggie as its voice echoed in her ears, "I don't think you have the right time to be distracted…"

Its voice carried a mocking tone.

As she looked above, she saw the massive fist of the Howling Spire Lord hurling toward her at high speed!

"Too slow!" she exclaimed as she also punched with her fist covered in fiery flames, facing the massive fist head-on!

Boom!

A loud sound rang through the air upon impact, sending a strong shockwave. The crimson scales on her cheeks flared with fiery energy.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As their fists collided, Maggie felt the immense strength of the Howling Spire Lord's punch coursing through her body, numbing her arms before she was blasted into the town's pavement!

Orian, whose attention was still on the fight despite the situation, was shocked when she saw Maggie being hurled by the massive primal's punch!

"Sister Maggie!" she called out in worry.

Vincent's expression faltered for a moment as he witnessed the sudden turn of events.

"Is she really going to die?"
