Chapter 116 Fierce Fire
At Polger's command, the Orc army fled into the tunnels dug by the earthworms.
So when Dui arrived on Smaug, he only killed the Orks who didn't have time to hide in the tunnel.
But all the other Oc, including Polge, went into the tunnel, not giving Dui a chance to find him.
Dui was somewhat helpless when he saw this situation.
This Polge was clearly more difficult to deal with than his father, Azog, and would immediately hide in the tunnel as soon as he sensed trouble.
Smaug noticed Duy's expression and quickly tried to impress him:
"Master, even if Polge hides in the tunnel, it's fine. I'll just keep breathing fire into the tunnel and burn them alive inside!"
Dui shook his head: "Have you forgotten they also have a ground worm? As long as the ground worm is there, they can burrow anywhere underground. How far can your dragonfire burn?"
As for the idea of chasing them into the tunnel, Dui had never considered it.
Once you enter the underground tunnels, it becomes the domain of earthworms.
Perhaps right now, Borg is hoping he'll chase after him.
However, not pursuing them doesn't mean Dui has no options.
He jumped off Smaug's back, went to the tunnel entrance, pointed his wand inside, and cast a malevolent spell:
Hellfire~
A small wisp of eerie blue flame shot out from the tip of the wand.
The flames were filled with violence and evil, as if they came from hell.
Upon landing, it quickly began to devour all flammable materials around it, including Dui, the caster of the curse.
Dui's expression turned cold, and with a forceful swing of his wand, he pulled the flames back.
The flames seemed to have their own consciousness. Knowing that Dui was not to be trifled with, they quickly spread into the tunnel, and nothing flammable could escape them.
The flames grew larger and larger, eventually coalescing into a giant flaming serpent that filled the tunnel.
Dui immediately used a Thunder Explosion Spell to blast the tunnel entrance shut, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
He just cast the most dangerous Fiendfyre spell in the magical world.
As one of the advanced forms of dark magic, Fiendfire is an extremely difficult spell to control. The summoned fiendfire grows stronger and stronger over time, and it can mimic the forms of monsters, relentlessly pursuing anything that can burn, including the caster himself, regardless of friend or foe.
Therefore, when some wizards who are not skilled enough cast the Fiendfire spell, they often suffer the consequences because they cannot control the Fiendfire and do not know how to break the spell.
Therefore, even the most vicious black wizards never dare to cast this spell lightly.
To date, the only exception is the dark magic master Grindelwald, who can control Fiendfire with ease.
They can even use the fierce fire to distinguish friend from foe.
Those loyal to him were unharmed in the raging fire, while those disloyal to him were reduced to ashes.
If it weren't for a great magician like Nicolas Flamel, who joined forces with the Scamander brothers and others to fight back, the entire city of Paris would almost have been burned to ashes by Grindelwald's Fiendfyre.
Dui believed he did not possess Grindelwald's abilities to control the Fiery Blaze.
Therefore, after releasing the Fiery Blaze into the tunnel, it immediately blocked the Fiery Blaze's escape route.
Since there are only enemies like Orcs inside the tunnel, there's no need to worry about harming innocent bystanders.
Smaug saw the Fiery Blaze unleashed by Dui with his own eyes, and his pupils contracted immediately. He took a few steps back with great fear and apprehension.
"Master, what was that flame you just used? Why did it feel so dangerous to me?"
Smaug felt that the flames were even more powerful than his own dragonfire. If he were to get even a little bit on them, even the hardest dragon scales would not be able to withstand their burning!
"That's Fiendfire, also known as demonic flames or hellfire. It can grow stronger by devouring everything. If the curse isn't broken, it will keep burning until it becomes uncontrollable."
Dui explained simply.
Upon hearing this, Smaug felt even more fear of the Fiendfire. He had always been proud of his dragonfire, which could easily melt even the hardest armor and weapons forged by the dwarves.
But now this Fiery Blaze truly lives up to its name, as if it were a flame from hell, carrying a power to destroy everything.
Therefore, he felt even greater awe for the master who could unleash such terrifying flames.
If his master had used that kind of flame against him back then, he would probably have been burned to a crisp by now!
Thinking this way, Smaug couldn't help but feel a surge of relief.
Dui had no idea what Smaug was thinking at that moment; otherwise, he could only say that he was overthinking it.
If the Fiery Curse weren't so difficult to control, do you think he wouldn't want to use it?
Having blocked the tunnel entrance, Dui did not linger there.
He ordered Smaug to continue attacking the Orc army and weapons, while he rode his broomstick into the air and waited quietly.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before a large number of panicked Oaks poured out of one of the tunnel entrances below.
They scrambled to step on their companions' bodies and squeeze out of the tunnel, as if some terrifying thing was chasing them.
The next second, accompanied by a huge rumble, a fiery creature mimicking a basilisk burst out of the tunnel.
Oak, who had no time to escape, was instantly burned to ashes.
The serpent-like fiery creature burst forth from the ground with a hiss, like a demon breaking free of its cage, attempting to spread and devour everything around it.
Dui charged forward on his broomstick and swung his wand forcefully.
"Get back inside!"
An invisible barrier pressed down on the raging fire, trying to force it back into the tunnel.
The raging fire that had been burning in the tunnel for so long had become even more powerful than before.
It writhed wildly in flames, unwilling to be forced back, hissing as it spewed fierce fire at Dui, attempting to break through the barrier.
Dui used his magic to suppress it, forcing it back into the tunnel, and then immediately collapsed the tunnel, blocking this exit as well.
Dui continued to wait.
A short while later, another group of Oc poured out of another tunnel entrance.
This time, Dui directly collapsed the tunnel exit in advance, blocking both the Orcs and the Fiends inside.
Next, Dui, like playing whack-a-mole, blocked off each of the tunnel entrances that Li Huo was trying to emerge from.
To prevent it from ever coming out.
After an unknown amount of time, a loud noise suddenly rang out a few square meters north of Gushan.
Blue flames shot into the sky, and a ten-thousand-foot-long fire python hissed incessantly, as if announcing its escape from its cage.
Dui's expression hardened; he hadn't expected that Li Huo would emerge from the other end of the tunnel that Oak had dug.
He immediately rushed towards that direction without hesitation.
The raging fire will not be extinguished as long as there is even a tiny bit of flammable material, even just a small piece of wood.
If left unchecked, even he might not be able to suppress it in time.
When Dui arrived, he saw that the Fiery Flame had condensed into a serpent monster several hundred meters long, which was frantically devouring and burning a ground worm.
However, Polger and some Oc were incredibly lucky to survive and were now hiding from Fiery Blaze's pursuit.
However, before Polge could be burned to ashes by the Fiery Blaze, Dui's curse arrived first.
"Torn apart!"
Polger's horrified expression froze instantly, and his body was instantly sliced into countless pieces.
Dealing with Polgar was just a matter of course. Without pausing, Dui flew swiftly toward the Fiery Serpent, his wand emitting a dazzling light.
"All curses have ended!"
The Curse of All Curses Can Be Used to Undo Almost All Curses. It can dispel most curses within the range of their influence, including the dark magic Fiend Curse.
As Dui cast the Curse of All Curses, the incantation formed a huge barrier that enveloped the Fiery Blaze, causing it to shrink continuously.
The giant serpent monster, mimicking the fiery flames, furiously attacked the barrier, creating waves as it tried to break free of its prison and burn everything in its path.
Dui was also struggling at this moment.
Although the Curse of All Curses Ends is the antidote to the Curse of Fiery Inferno, its effectiveness depends on the strength of the Fiery Inferno.
If it is a newly unleashed raging fire, this spell can easily extinguish it.
But the Fiery Serpent before us now is a hundred-meter-long monster formed after devouring the lives of tens of thousands of Orcs; it is already extremely powerful.
Such intense flames would require at least four or five Auror-level elites to work together and unleash the "Ten Thousand Curses to the End" spell to completely extinguish.
Now, Dui is finding it difficult to handle the situation alone.
However, Dui did not intend to completely extinguish it by his own efforts.
His goal was to force it back into the tunnel and then completely block the exit.
Although the Fiendfire spell can burn most objects, even steel is no exception.
But it doesn't really burn everything.
Like stones and soil, they can stop the spread of the raging fire.
Therefore, once the tunnel is blocked, the Fiendfire can only burn inside the tunnel. Once nothing combustible remains inside, the Fiendfire will naturally extinguish.
But clearly, the Fiery Blaze, possessing its own consciousness, is not something that will obediently follow orders.
Seeing that the basilisk's form couldn't break through the barrier, Fiendfyre actually transformed into the Balrog of Middle-earth.
The Balrog looks just like the demon from the previous life, with a pair of curved horns on its head, a pair of bat wings on its back, and a long tail.
It wielded a long, flaming whip, forcefully striking and lashing at the barrier.
The barrier suddenly shook violently, showing signs of weakening.
Dui's expression changed, and he immediately activated his magic power to the fullest extent.
"Get back into the tunnel!"
The barrier continued to shrink, forcing the Fiery Demon to retreat.
The Fiery Demon was not a true Fire Demon and did not possess much intelligence. Seeing that it was being suppressed, it slowly retreated back into the tunnel.
"Thunderous explosion!"
Dui reacted swiftly, striking upwards towards the tunnel in an instant.
A violent explosion caused the tunnel to collapse, burying the entrance directly.
Still not satisfied, Dui cast several more spells to completely block the tunnel entrance before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Then, waving his wand, he floated Borgh's head up and flew back to the battlefield on a broomstick.
On the battlefield at this time,
The combined forces of elves, dwarves, and humans have gained the upper hand.
Since Dui forced Orc's leader, Borge, back into the tunnel and unleashed Fiendfire.
On the battlefield, the morale of the Ok army had already plummeted and their morale was low.
Then, the giant eagles were summoned by Gandalf, and the immense pressure they exerted from the air caused the Orc army to crumble at the first contact and retreat in defeat.
If the Orcs weren't several times more numerous than the total number of elves and dwarves, making them impossible to kill in a short time, the Orcs would have already suffered a crushing defeat.
When Dui flew back over the battlefield, he threw Polge's head down.
Ye's voice, amplified by the incantation, echoed across the battlefield: "Orks, your leader Polge is dead! You have been defeated!"
Then Yehun took out a black horn.
It was a horn made from the horn of some unknown animal, with incantations engraved on it.
These are the things Dui found on Borge.
Ye wiped the mouthpiece of the horn with a hint of disgust, then blew it hard.
The horn emitted a piercing, penetrating sound that quickly spread in all directions.
The next second, the giant swarm of bats that had been blotting out the sun in the sky suddenly became chaotic and disorderly, flying and scattering in all directions, as if they had received some unknown command.
The dim sky quickly brightened again, and the sun shone on the earth once more.
The Orc army frantically tried to find shade, but they had no time to hide before the sun shone upon them.
Instantly, the Orks collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted and unable to fight.
The monsters that ate you turned to stone, their expressions of terror frozen on their faces.
