Chris's Faith of Fire

Although I was thinking of them, what I called out was another name.

The moment I finished speaking, I felt my voice reach me.

"Barf Saza! (Ice Punishment)"

Snapped……

He must have heard my prayer, because with a crisp sound, the monitor lizard let out a mournful cry.

Then there were more sounds, like hailstones hitting the ground.

I must have heard it right, flashes of light streaked across the barrier of flames and rushed towards Salamander's scales.

Although it was not enough to penetrate the scales that looked like battleship armor, the giant lizard was indeed retreating steadily.

I looked at the source of the childish voice.

At that moment, the surrounding seawater disappeared, and the surrounding area turned into brown rock walls.

The illusory heat turned into real lava all over the land around us, and it seemed like it would submerge this small island at any time.

This is not a dream...

I'm wearing my original clothes.

But what is more real than this reality is the boy

It's him...it's really Noel!

"Barphaanee tuuphaan! (Snowstorm)"

He chanted the incantation, which must be his most advanced magic.

Countless ice blades hit Salamander, and each blow avoided my position.

The fire elf's hand loosened, and I slipped down from there...

Oops, Noelle is still far away from me. Even with wind magic, I can't come from this distance.This is like falling from the third floor.

"Uh... huh?"

I thought I would crumble into a ball like a piece of tofu, but the only response was a gentle touch on my arm.The owner of that hand was far beyond my expectation.

"Silvi?"

"..."

The girl caught me while avoiding Salamander's sweep, and hid behind the rock after being perfectly protected.

"thanks……"

"No need, because my brother has decided to save you."

Although Sylvie spoke mercilessly, cold sweat could be seen on her forehead.

Even for her who is excellent in wind magic, this is a very risky decision...

If you want to thank me, leave it to the end.

Because the battle seems to have just begun.

Noelle breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to throw the ice blade at the incarnation of immortal fire.

28. The fate given by fire——2

"Barf Saza! (Ice Punishment)"

Noelle chanted the spell with all his strength, and the ice pick kept hitting Salamander's body.

But keep attacking like this...

I looked at the boy's face. He closed one eye slightly and his breathing rate became disordered.

Even the spell looks much weaker than before.

"Brother, he is almost at his limit... Just stay here and don't move. I'm going to help him."

Sylvie made a move before I could speak, and I hurriedly took her hand.

"Don't be impulsive. You have no chance of winning if you go there. That is the flame elf Salamander... Although we don't know exactly where we were teleported to, it must still be in Garnet's domain, probably near the royal city. "

"Why do you know?"

"I have seen this guy before...in front of the Gate of Mana..."

"what?"

The girl looked surprised, as if she couldn't believe what I said.

But in the blink of an eye she regained her composure and focused on her brother again.

"Even so, I have to save my brother. He won't be able to survive like this for a while."

"Believe your brother, it's more likely to cause trouble if you suddenly distract him!"

"What do you, an outsider, know?"

The girl growled angrily at me.

Yes, I don't understand her mood. To be honest, I don't hate this boy, but I don't really put him in the position of an important person... That's why I can say such calm words.

However, this mood may have changed slightly now.

Noelle ran out to save my life regardless of his own safety... It was precisely because I faced this monster that I realized how terrifying it is, and that not everyone can face it with courage.

But the young man in front of me still did it...

The reason why I desperately pull Sylvie to hide behind the rock is not out of cowardice, but because I think this is the best way. I must find a way to bring them back alive!

Now I am the only adult here, so I must act like an adult.

Think hard, the past me, prove to me that you are not just a bachelor who has lived a boring life for more than 20 years!

I can also be the flame that burns the plains!

He returned his attention to the boy.

Just as Sylvie said, although Salamander was caught off guard at first, it seems to have begun to adapt to Noelle's attack. It swung its bright red long tail and knocked down the ice picks one by one.

At the same time, the flames of hell spewed out of his mouth. Noelle crouched down and quickly slid behind the giant rock to barely escape.

Seeing that her brother had left the battlefield, Sylvie calmed down and did not rush out.

We waved to each other between the two huge rocks through the passage in the middle to express that it was okay.

"See, it's better for us to focus on escaping."

"...just now...I'm sorry."

"Ugh?"

"Just...that means you are an outsider."

"Ah, it doesn't matter at all. It's better to say that I am indeed an outsider compared to you."

"..."

Sylvie blushed and apologized, but she didn't seem satisfied with my last answer.

No time for that now.

I looked at the surrounding environment. We were on a flat land that was as big as two football fields. I didn't feel much in the hands of the giant beast just now, but now it seems that the surrounding lava is still far away from us.

Even with such a hot temperature, it still ravaged all my pores, and every breath seemed to be swallowed up by this space.

There is a pointed rock top like a stalactite above the head. Sylvie and Noelle's proud wind magic should be greatly restricted here.

There is an exit on each side of this wide space, probably...

I have no idea which side is connected to the outside world. It is more likely that this cave has no exit to the outside world at all.

It's not surprising no matter how you think about it, the place where the flame elves exist.

Our goal is not to defeat this guy, but to escape from here.

"Noelle! Gentle magic power... let's find an opportunity to get out of the hole behind that monster!"

I sent a message to Noelle on the other side of the rock. He looked a little confused.

"Why not head towards the entrance of the cave on our side..."

"Who knows, maybe it's just that the exit over there is narrower."

If I have to say it, it’s a woman’s sixth sense.

"I see……"

"Anyway, please trust me for once!"

I looked at the hole, which was so narrow that only two people could pass through. The possibility that the giant lizard could get through was very low.

With a bang, the rock in front of us was shot into pieces.

Salamander's huge palm clasped the ground and uprooted the entire stone.

Affected by the impact, I was also rushed backward.

Sylvie quickly grabbed my body and held me in her arms.

"Going away, brother!"

"Ok!"

Sylvie turned around and shot a fireball towards the top of the rock. Salamander was attracted by this bright little thing for a moment.

Even a short moment was enough for the agile siblings.

I was held in Sylvie's arms and watched myself pass under the giant lizard, fearing that I would hit its strong body.

At the same time, Noelle passed through the claws of the giant lizard and escaped from the other side.

The two men work so well together.In the blink of an eye, before Salamander turned his heavy body, we were already behind it.

"Get out of there."

"You don't need to direct something so obvious!"

Sylvie's hands were trembling. Would even a calm and expressionless girl like her be afraid when facing a monster of this level?

Even if everyone seems calm and eccentric at ordinary times...when faced with very reasonable things, they will still behave like ordinary people.

But even so, she waited until her brother passed through the cave first before taking me through.

This girl really likes her brother.

"It should be fine once we get here..."

Boom!

Before the boy finished speaking, the giant lizard stretched its neck and poked its head out of the hole.

But we immediately retreated. No matter how hard we tried, it couldn't reach the prey in front of us.

"Huh...it's so dangerous."

But just because the mouth was still breathing flames, the young man noticed its movements in advance and nimbly avoided it.

"It's not safe here yet, stay back!"

"Ok!"

Sylvie agreed softly, but she still had no intention of putting me down. Maybe she thought it would be more efficient to take me with her.

We left here and headed towards an exit or a deeper abyss.

The sound of the giant lizard slamming against the rocks behind us made us dare not slow down.

29. The fate given by fire——3

Boom...rumble

It was shaking, I could feel it clearly.

It wasn't my body or Sylvie's arms, but the whole space that was trembling.
