When these techniques are executed effectively, they can be much stronger than their expected rank.

Leif had a firsthand taste of this when he dared to overclock his devourer's bracelet, attempting to channel the Noble spirit with its amplified power.

Seig's focus sharpened, his attention honed on the Ogre before him. 'Let's see how long you last then,' he added, drawing the strings of his bow again.

"Boost!"

Furnace Sky Technique - Act Four: Meteor Ascent!

Without warning, a long, inky black flaming arrow, approximately 889 mm (35 inches), materialized on Seig's bow as he drew the string back. Near the bowstring, another arrow of equal size emerged like a tangible shadow beside it. Then, he released it.

The suddenness of the attack left everyone breathless.

The inky black flaming arrow weaved past Azarok and several others, colliding with an unsuspecting ogre. It exploded into a bright flash of light that temporarily blinded the unfortunate gods' chosens nearby.

A miniature fiery explosion spread outward from the impact.

Azarok and a few others managed to escape the explosion. Meanwhile, the shadow-like arrow rose high above Azarok and his unit. It then multiplied into several long, inky black flaming arrows of equal size before descending downward.

Amid the horrifying scene, Azarok's heart raced, his mind filled with disbelief. He cursed under his breath, not expecting the Captain of the 2nd Unit of the Vanguard team of the Sleeping Fox Runaway City to be so powerful with his techniques alone.

He swiftly moved, attempting to distance himself from the range of the incoming attack. However, just before he could evade the devastating onslaught, he noticed a figure swiftly approaching him.

Almost instantly, he raised his Gearweaver sword to block an attack from Evadne, who had aimed for his right leg.

The gears in their Gearweavers roared powerfully as more Vylkr energy was poured into them, each trying to overcome the other.

"You—" Azarok roared angrily, attempting to strike her with his fist. However, Evadne spun around mid-air, evading his attack and using the heel of her right foot to smash against his head, temporarily disorienting him and sending him slightly backwards.

Before Azarok could recover, it was already too late.

The arrows descended like beacons, and upon contact, they resounded with several miniature explosions. The blasts directly impacted the group, injuring them until they fell to the ground, their skin charred and their bodies unconscious, one by one.

As Leif and the others swiftly moved in to disarm them before they could heal and recover, Seig prepared to unleash another attack on Azarok, who was barely standing.

However, before he could do so, he noticed a wisp of smoke rising into the clouds in the far distance. It was a sight that made his heart sink. He wouldn't have seen it if he hadn't squinted into the distance.

Instantly, Seig knew who was responsible and couldn't help but sigh.

Seig hoped the Sleeping Fox Runaway City leaders wouldn't be too stubborn to surrender to Stronghold Leader Seth. Seig knew that Seth wasn't a warrior who liked having his buttons pushed.

…....…

Far in the distance,

Stronghold Leader Seth stood atop a wave of molten magma. The molten lava surged with even more astonishing speed, surrounding the Sleeping Fox Runaway City from a distance to avoid mistakenly harming the city itself or its inhabitants.

Soon, the fleeing Runaway city noticed it had no advance route and changed its trajectory. It walked around within the sealed land of molten magma as if searching for a way out.

As Stronghold Leader Seth approached the Sleeping Fox Runaway City, he noticed a three-star Vylkr vine approaching their position.

"They're already coming back," Seig pondered, irritated by the Vylkr vine's appearance.

It had only been a few days since the Vylkr Veil phenomenon began to dissipate, so this was particularly annoying. Fortunately, they hadn't encountered any four-star Vylkr vines, indicating their previous actions had dealt with the threat.

Stronghold Leader Seth instantly sent a wave of molten magma towards the vine, burying it in a sea of molten lava before resuming his advance. As he arrived before the gigantic moving contraption forged in the shape of a strange creature, he willed the molten magma to grow enormous until he was a few meters above the Sleeping Fox Runaway City.

Several figures emerged on all sides of the Sleeping Fox Runaway City almost instantly, carrying sizeable weapons filled with contraptions and wearing bulging bracelets on their wrists. Some even had wings on their backs, allowing them to fly. Despite their abilities, they maintained their distance, their gazes fixed warily on their mysterious assailant.

Stronghold Leader Seth took a deep breath, amplifying his voice as he announced, "LEADER OF THE SLEEPING FOX RUNAWAY CITY, PRESENT YOURSELF IMMEDIATELY!" His commanding voice echoed through the atmosphere, causing the alert gods' chosens to tense, ready to attack.

"STAND DOWN!" Another voice boomed through the air as a fully armoured man with wings soared into the sky, accompanied by four others. Their presence halted the gods' chosens from taking any rash actions.

Emperor Lakul sighed in relief, then turned his attention to Stronghold Leader Seth, who stood atop an enormous wave of molten magma, casting a fearsome shadow over the Sleeping Fox Runaway City. Gesturing for the other leaders to follow, he soared towards Seth's direction.

The other leaders' hearts were also filled with fright, but they managed to suppress their emotions and face the mysterious warrior since he was willing to speak with them.

Not too long ago, they all witnessed a bizarre weather change in the form of a thunderstorm over the Wanderlust Travelling Runaway City.

After confirming that they had indeed been attacked by a mysterious assailant, they reached a unanimous vote to leave the territory as quickly as possible.

They understood that the individual who had attacked them must either be here for the divine artefact or responsible for the emergence of the Vylkr Veil phenomenon and its strange disturbances.

Either way, they understood they were in grave danger, regardless of the right option. As such, they fled for safety.
