Alex then quickly moved. He flew toward where Petricia was, then took out a squad for her to control. In this way, she could fight effectively using all her abilities.
As a high goblin, she really shined when controlling an army of goblins.
Next, Alex moved toward Zorgath and Elvira. After he came close, he took out another awe cube and pointed it at the ground.
This was the creature he captured in the Flidaen Secret Realm, one of the king beasts in the forest.
So far, he hadn't had the right opportunity to use this beast as it was too big.
"Come out, Blaze Kong!"
A giant light, half the size of Luciel's form, appeared. It then materialized into a giant King Kong with red fur and four arms.
His height easily reached five times that of a normal adult.
"ROARRR!" The creature roared, making the people even more panicked.
Flame Manipulation: Blaze Kong can control and generate fire at will, creating fireballs, streams of flame, and fiery explosions.
Heat Resistance: It is almost completely immune to fire and extreme heat, making it impervious to most fire-based attacks.

Next, Alex sent out four cactus fiend worms around Blaze Kong to help him parry the hair attacks.
The creature was strong, but unfortunately, Alex hadn't succeeded in teaching it cultivation, as they were just beasts with a little bit of intelligence.
"Kong, burn all those hairs!" Alex ordered.
When he was fighting against the creature, Alex realized that it wasn't that his attacks did no damage, but the creature kept regenerating over and over again.
The Kong roared. It then used all four limbs to start pulling at all the hair around him. Orange fire then ignited from his hands, easily reaching almost 1000°C (1832°F). The hair ignited in fire, making the mouth groan in pain.
As for the cactus worms, they didn't attack, as none of them were effective against the weird creature.
Meanwhile, up above in the sky some distance away, Thalia was floating, looking at everything that happened.
"Not yet, Alex, that creature is one of the Deadly Sin parasites. They won't die easily. This is not even a fraction of its real power," she mumbled.
Back on the battlefield, Alex was now back at the hammer with MingYue at his side.
"Our power is ice and fire; it's hard to combine it," MingYue said, wondering how they could fight together without suppressing each other's strength.
Alex looked at the hammer that was now still burning his qi and life force nonstop, pushing at the creature.
"I think I can push more. You help me in case something happens."
MingYue gave a nod. Alex then dashed forward, his crimson eyes glinting, as a large amount of life force started gathering from the atmosphere, making Alex's muscles bulkier and stronger.
Green particles started appearing around his body as he absorbed so many particles that they became visible to the naked eye.
He then threw a flying sidekick, focusing all his strength on his foot.
The moment his foot hit, the hammer got pushed forward. The clash turned in Alex's favor as the creature's hammer-like weapon got pushed back.
MingYue looked around the area, then decided to make her move. Her qi churned, creating a dense cold in the atmosphere, then with a gesture of her hand.
A huge ice lotus started appearing, growing to engulf Alex, MingYue, and Luciel inside, along with some of the unlucky elves.
Thalia's eyes flickered with confusion as she saw this.
'Is she also a vampire? But how? Based on what I feel, the heir should not even be a bloodling yet.
Could this be another of Master's plans?'
She knew Alex could not make a new vampire yet, so seeing MingYue as one surprised her to the core. Based on how they fought, Thalia was sure MingYue was not one of the survivors.
Part of the hair was burned down by Blaze Kong, followed by Alex's attack, the creature pulled back all of its spread-out hair.
As the hair now gathered in one place, the ice lotus faced no resistance. It grew at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye, then completely enclosed itself.
Petricia used the opportunity to evacuate the people and move Vexgore to a safer place. Zorgath also did the same.
Meanwhile, inside the lotus, the fire hammer kept pushing down. The heat started burning away the hair, as the regeneration was stopped.
But Alex didn't drop his guard. He could see the creature's lips, instead of showing panic, showed an eerie grin.
The creature suddenly undid its hammer-like weapon.
The hammer moved forward, then hit the ball of hair straight in the face, smashing it into the ground.
The earth shook with a huge earthquake as a deep crater was created underneath. As the hammer's heat was concentrated, it didn't explode and just kept burning each layer of hair to ashes.
Alex could hear cracking sounds like breaking an eggshell.
But the moment it all broke, Alex could feel a huge amount of energy, which made him take a step back.
"HAHAHAHA!" From the crater, hysterical laughter could be heard.
They could then see Luciel standing there, wearing a black suit. "Finally, I am free, and here I am welcomed with two high-quality foods!"
The moment she said this, she appeared in front of Alex, throwing a kick. Alex barely able to respond. He released the hammer, then raised his hand to block the attack.
His hand and shoulder bone cracked, followed by his ribs. But he held his place.
MingYue appeared behind the woman, throwing a vertical slash that left ice in the air. But the woman easily raised her hand and grasped the sword barehanded.
"So confidence! Before, I just used almost all the energy I absorbed to fully take over this body and recover my strength. What you fought was just a small part of it." Luciel say in taunting tone, as she want to bait Alex and MingYue to keep fighting her.
