On the other end of the passageway, beyond the corner, a large number of mercenaries hid in safe spots on both sides, watching Archmage Dukes in action.
Dukes closed his eyes, controlling the entire Elemental Field. Six gigantic flames surrounded him, each radiating terrifying heat. Yet everyone present felt the flames weren't hot enough and desperately added more fuel.
His followers tossed every burnable object they could find into the fire. A massive amount of Fire Element was released into the surrounding space, causing the concentration to skyrocket.
Dukes was busy as well. He pulled out a bag of Fire Magic Crystals, thrust his hand inside, releasing Fire Element as the bag was instantly burned to ashes.
"Sir, we've run out of material to burn. Only some captives remain—should we throw them in too?" his follower reported, having exhausted all resources suitable for combustion.
