She had to remain calm, as it seemed like she couldn't beat either of them.
"Oh."
"Come out."
Ember and Lance Shanks silently took a step back and looked at the lady with only her head sticking out of the ice cocoon.
The lady then realized that Yu Jin and the others had only broken a hole in the ice cocoon, and she had to rely on herself to get out.
"Huh!" The lady took a deep breath, and a stream of hot air spurted out with her breath, melting a hole in the ice cocoon.
The blazing flames in his body began to flow. Fiery red patterns began to emerge on the ice cocoon formed by the evil eye.
"Boom!" The gushing flames did not choose to melt the ice, but directly shattered it.
The Burning Witch of Flame has returned to the world after five hundred years!
"Wow! She's so tall!" Yu Jin looked up at the lady. The huge skirt lifted her up, making her look much taller than Heidao.
"It's on fire, it's on fire!" Lance Shanks' voice came from a distance. Yu Jin turned his head and found that Lance Shanks was constantly beating the rekindled flames with his dragon claws.
“Can you stop it for a moment?” Yu Jin looked up at the lady. Heat was bulging from her body, and the invisible flames were burning everything around her.
Of course, to the embers, this little bit of heat was like a gentle breeze on the face and was not noticeable at all.
"It seems..., no." The lady was silent for a moment and answered somewhat awkwardly.
If she could control herself, she wouldn't use the evil eye as a shackle to restrain herself.
"Your trick... is quite cruel." Yu Jin took a look at the lady's condition. It was normal for the power gained by burning himself to be out of control.
"But your second stage transition is too long. If you fight me, you'll have to send it if you can't open it." Yu Jin saw that with Lance Shanks' efforts, the green around them soon disappeared.
So he stopped worrying about the fire—it was all burned out, so why start a fire?
The lady didn't know how to respond to Yu Jin after hearing this. He called breaking free from the shackles the second stage, and she had no intention of being hostile to Yu Jin.
She felt that if Yu Jin was really pissed off, it would be better for her to slit her own throat first, so that in the end there wouldn't even be a body to be found.
"I'll teach you how to quickly enter the second stage." Yu Jin seemed to have suddenly thought of something fun and immediately ran behind the charred charcoal in the distance.
"Squeak--" A sharp scraping sound was heard, and the lady and Lance Shanks looked up in the direction of the embers.
They saw nothing, the charred tree was twisted. It and everything behind it seemed to be out of the world, and no useful information could be seen.
The sound of iron scraping against each other did not last long, the scenery in the distance was no longer distorted, and the embers came out from behind the charcoal wood.
In his hand, there was a ball of ashes that was flashing with a faint spark.
Ember - The embers left in the bodies of heroes. They are things that the fireless ashes cannot obtain, so they are attracted to them.
You can gain the power of fire and increase your health limit until you die.
"Try pinching it?"
There was a flickering of fire on the embers, which looked a little bloated and looked like a burning person.
Chapter 183 Flickering Fire

"What is this?" the lady asked doubtfully, looking at the ball of ash-like thing in Yujin's hand.
"Good thing, if you don't pinch it, you'll die!" Yu Jin reminded. In this state, the lady was burning her life all the time.
"King, what is this?" Lance Shanks asked curiously as he looked at the ashes in Yujin's hand.
"The dead skin on my body." Yu Jin acted as if the lady didn't exist and directly told the origin of the ember in his hand.
Such blatant discrimination made the lady feel short of breath.
"Uh..." Lance Shanks looked at the large pile of ashes in Yu Jin's hand, and suddenly became curious about how long it had been since he had taken a shower.
However, considering that he might be beaten up by Yu Jin after speaking out, Lance Shanks swallowed his doubts.
"Dead skin?" The lady took the large piece of embers from Yujin's hand and squeezed it doubtfully.
"Snap!" The embers in her hand seemed to be made of loose ashes. The lady only exerted a little force, and the embers scattered.
Ashes flickering with fire filled the air, drifting purposefully into the woman's body, causing some kind of change within her.
"Ah——" Fire ignited from the inside out of the lady's soul. On the edge of her skirt and body, lava from an unknown substance flowed unnaturally.
The soul was disintegrating, and the woman's nose and throat were filled with stinging and heat.
"Ahem..." Large streams of ashes gushed out of the lady's mouth. Under the burning flames, her flesh and blood began to turn into dust.
"I can't die... I can't die yet..." The lady, almost unconscious, lay on the ground, her slender fingers deeply inserted into the sand, as if this could alleviate her pain.
"Is it really not possible?" Yu Jin looked at the lady's painful expression and shook his head. The power of fire was not something that ordinary people could withstand.
"Then forget it!" Yu Jin stretched out her palm, and bits of smoke and dust with sparks escaped from the lady's body. They floated and finally returned to Yu Jin's body through the gaps in the armor.
Yu Jin looked at the dazed lady on the ground, squatted down, and a light yellow light wave swept across.
The ripples of the big tree appeared on the ground. Wherever the light waves passed, young grass sprouted from the ashes and new buds grew from the charcoal wood.
The charred and carbonized flesh on the woman's body began to fall off, and new granulation tissue filled the empty wounds.
"Hmm..." The lady opened her eyes and took a deep breath. The refreshing and slightly cool air entered her hot body and eventually turned into a boiling hot stream.
The fire that had previously made the lady feel uncomfortable was now so warm.
There is no harm without comparison. Compared with the fire in the ember's body, the witch's flames are really not enough.
The lady felt the power gradually filling her body, and her body turned directly into a ball of spinning flames, quickly distancing herself from the embers.
"You..." The flames dispersed, and the lady's figure reappeared. She pointed at the embers, and the flames on her body continued to surge.
The lady was about to ask why, but suddenly found that she couldn't say anything.
The pressure that had immobilized the lady reappeared. Beads of sweat dripped down her forehead, and the flame in the lady's body began to shrink under this pressure, as if she had seen something horrible.
If the pressure from the embers last time came from the tremor of her soul, then this time it was simply powerful. The pressure that made her feel like the sky was collapsing and the earth was sinking made her breathless.
"The weak must obey the strong. Isn't that your creed? Why do you look so unwilling?"
Straight sword, one-handed shield, and armor with melted edges, this is Ember's strongest state.
"Want to fight?" The one-handed sword was gently placed on the lady's collar.
Even though the sword was covered in rust and looked like it was about to melt, the lady had no doubt that it had the ability to chop off her head.
The lady shook her head with difficulty, her skin touching the blade of the ember. It felt very warm, and it didn't feel like a weapon at all, but the lady didn't notice these details at all.
The sword was sheathed, and the woman relaxed all over.
"Hu——, Hu——" the lady breathed in the air greedily. Just now she really didn't even dare to breathe.
"That's right. I don't like fighting. And you're too new. You can't even learn the second stage I taught you. There's no point in fighting you."
The ember returned to its weird look. He raised one hand high, pinching the embers, and the flames began to flicker on his body.
Melt, dissipate, melt, and dissipate again... the invisible pressure hit the woman's body wave after wave, each time was very short, but the frequency was high enough.
This made the ember look like a flickering LED light. The lady watched the flames flicker in front of her eyes and couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.
As for why? Of course it was because of the smoke!
Every time the ember used the power of fire, a large amount of ashes spewed out from the gaps in his armor. These ashes were so strong that they went straight into the lady's eyeballs and smoked her.
"Hiss——" A burnt smell came, and in addition to ashes, there was some black smoke on the embers.
"What are you doing?" Yu Jin grabbed his hands behind his back and pulled Lance Shanks out.
The latter was holding a piece of mushy meat in his hand.
"Bah! It's so disgusting!" Lance Shanks took a bite of the "charcoal" in his hand as if no one was around, and there was nothing in his mouth except paste.
"I thought that meat roasted with the king's body temperature would have some special effect." Lance Shanks looked at the embers and smiled awkwardly, seeming a little embarrassed.
"Will that have any effect?" Yu Jin was immediately attracted by Lance Shanks's idea. He snatched the piece of meat from Lance Shanks's hand and looked at it carefully.
Unfortunately, apart from the constantly falling charcoal slag, Yu Jin found nothing. He could only blame his high body temperature in the second stage. The meat that came from nowhere turned into charcoal in an instant.
Maybe Lance Shanks is an ancient dragon, so he is not sensitive to these things? Yu Jin thought for a moment, and then glanced at the lady rubbing her eyes.
The lady suddenly felt her hair stand on end. When she looked up, her eyes met Ember's.
"You..., what do you want to do?" The lady couldn't help but push back when she saw Yujin carrying a piece of black object.
"I'll treat you to a delicious meal." Yu Jin raised the charcoal in his hand higher. Some of the fallen charcoal slag was even blown onto the lady by the wind.
"Do you have any misunderstanding about delicious food?" The lady wanted to cry but had no tears. The thing in Yu Jin's hand could not be called "delicious" in any way.
Besides, the experience of pinching the fire just now was still vivid in her mind. This made the lady feel a little scared of anything that came from embers, let alone eating this so-called "delicious food".
To some extent, what the lady said was true. Yu Jin's mouth had been bland for who knows how many years. Whether it was edible or not, he had stuffed it with food, and to him, it all tasted the same.
"Okay, since you don't want to eat it, I won't force you." The lady just felt her eyes flash, and the "slice of meat" in Yu Jin's hand disappeared.
"But what can you do? I think you will be burned to death soon." Yu Jin changed the subject and talked about the lady's current situation.
The flames on her body became more and more violent, and her aura became more and more powerful. In contrast, her vitality became weaker and weaker.
"I can go back to the Queen in Winter." The lady answered without thinking. The Queen could extinguish the fire in her.
"Why bother?" Yu Jin waved his hand, his tone somewhat eager. He stretched out three fingers, and orange-yellow flames began to dance on them.
The ember approached the lady step by step, while the lady stepped back step by step.
"No..., don't come over!"
"Lance Shanks, hold her down for me and feel the despair of insanity!"
"what--"
The lady's screams echoed around the Wine Lake for the second time.
Chapter 184: Receive the Madness

"Uh..." On the shore of Fruit Wine Lake, the lady was lying on the beach dying.
