Chris's Faith of Fire

I once encountered an earthquake. At that time, I didn’t know who vibrated first, the cell phone sending the earthquake alarm or the room, maybe at the same time... It took me five seconds to realize what happened, and then I went crazy. He seemed to be running outside. After pressing the elevator button with his hand, he realized that he could not take the elevator to escape, so he rolled and crawled down the stairs in panic.

But in the end, after I went downstairs and gasped for air for nearly half an hour, I realized that there were no aftershocks that followed, so I went back to the room and went to sleep.

It was completely different now than that time. The obvious threat was right behind me, so my heart kept beating.

Sylvie looked the same, biting her cherry-colored lips tightly, and cold sweat dripped from her forehead.

So while still being held in my arms, I helped her wipe away her sweat.

"Uh! You, what are you doing!"

"I'm just wiping off your sweat."

"Don't mind your own business!"

"Oh……"

Although she shouted loudly, the girl didn't feel very angry. Her cheeks were quite red, and she didn't know whether it was because of the high temperature in the cave or other reasons.

"Oops...Oops, Chris, it seems we chose the wrong path."

Noelle's voice became deeper. We passed through the narrow hole just now and kept running forward with Salamander chasing us. As a result, we went deeper and deeper without even noticing. Information revealed by the environment.

I raised my head and looked at the huge lava pool in front of me, feeling extremely desperate...

Could it be that this lava pool is connected to the outside world? If it were a pool of sea water, I would probably think so, but even if it were sea water, I wouldn't be able to hold my breath for a long time, let alone seeing lava at thousands of degrees in front of me.

"Sorry, I should have gone the other way."

At that time, I told Sylvie that she believed in me, but now I have been led the wrong way... I am really ashamed of myself.

But Sylvie just put me down gently.

"It's useless to say this now. Let's go back and fight it again."

"But... our magic power... I felt it just now, and the speed of connecting to the Mana Gate has also slowed down."

Noelle didn’t take any action, but I could understand the hesitation in his words.

Sylvie is of wind and fire attributes, so she has very little use in this battle, and she has been holding me since just now, so even with the help of wind magic, she must have consumed a lot of energy. After all, she is so frail. His arms look almost like mine...

As for Noelle, how long can he last after having used great magic several times?

Maybe the next time Salamander attacks, that will be our limit.

Although that big lizard looks huge, it is not stupid at all. If we try to escape from the other side using the previous tactics, we will definitely be stopped by it first.

My brain was turned into a mess by the despair before me.

The lava pool in front of us seemed to overflow at any time and hit the rocks on the shore. We couldn't help but take a step back.

"How deep is this..."

"Do you want to jump down and have a look?"

I shook my head and looked at Noelle aside.

"I remember that Noelle is adapted to the water attribute, so to what extent can he use it? Ah, I'm talking about pure water, not ice made into sharp weapons."

Noelle took a breath before slowly opening his mouth. It seemed that his mental condition was not very good either.

"It barely touches the boundary of great magic...but it takes time to prepare, and it can only be activated once at most."

"What level of magic is that!"

"Chris! Brother, he is already very tired! What's more, I don't know what effect your tactics can bring."

When I grabbed Noel's hands, Sylvie shouted my name with all her strength. Her expression looked like she was about to cry, and her eyes that were not blocked by her bangs showed a moist sheen.

I gradually began to understand what it meant when this girl showed such an expression.

Did I go too far?After being rescued by Noelle, she directed everyone to go down the wrong path, but she still wanted to take a risk and use her remaining strength, her brother, who was more important than her life.

A moment of silence paused between the three of us, with only the sound of the fire elf hitting the rock clearly reaching our ears.

This time was so long that I almost suffocated. At this time, the boy's laughter resounded throughout the space.

"Hahaha... What are you all worried about? Don't make such an expression, Sylvie."

He stroked his sister's head, showing a cheerful cheek.

Is your brain damaged by the heat?I even thought so for a moment.

However, when I saw the girl's blushing cheeks and the slightly relaxed atmosphere, I became a little more understanding.

Noelle, you are truly a genius.

No matter what...

The eyes of the young man and mine met, and at that moment it was as if my own thoughts were read by him.

"Probably like the waves at high tide. If there wasn't lava there, I believe I could fill the entire cave with my magic!"

Hearing his confident words, I smiled happily.

I believe in Him because our lives will be protected by His strength.

This is not hopeless optimism, but a future that is about to happen, as if seen through magical farsightedness.

"We will never die here!"

"Uh-huh!"

◆ ◇

The giant beast hit the cave entrance again and again, and the rocks on the edge flew out, falling into the lava and turning into a line of smoke.

It doesn't care what happens to this place, nor does it care what happens to those two people. It only knows that the only thing it pursues is right in front of it, and it will never give up.

Boom... Boom!

Salamander roared, and the terrifying roar echoed throughout the cave, shaking the place that was the whole world to it.

But this place won't collapse, because if things were that easy, I wouldn't need to work so hard.

Finally, a breakthrough point was knocked out of the solid stone wall. It exerted force on its strong retreat and jumped out from there with a swish.

The flame elf blinked his eyelids protected by bone plates and looked around at the surrounding environment.

It is a smaller place than before, and almost half of it is covered by lava. There is no way out here.

only……

Bang!There was a loud noise that made the silver-haired girl cover her ears.

Salamander whipped his tail and hit the rock wall. The narrow entrance was instantly sealed by the falling gravel, leaving only the breakthrough he made when he entered, but so what?

No one has ever been able to pass over the head of the Fire Elf!

How embarrassed they were, huddled in the corner like mice!It's the end of the road.

What is that yellow-haired boy kneeling on the ground doing?

Salamander crosses the body.

No matter what it does, he doesn't care, because it is the spirit of fire, and even if it wants to use some strange magic, it can't defeat him.

Its eyes were always focused on the silver-haired girl. She looked so uneasy, but also so beautiful.

She just stood there looking at herself, folding her hands together as if praying.

Salamander jumped into the pool of lava. The splashing lava made the girl's heart tighten in an instant.

The lava that ordinary people can't stand for even half a second seems to Salamander to be nothing more than warm hot water.

Seeing their desperate looks, the elves already thought that they had reached the end of the victory point.

I had only one goal from the beginning.

Although I don’t know why the situation has become like this, it seems that it is over.

The boy was still lying on the ground, probably too scared to move.

The other blond girl saw the fire elf approaching and hugged the girl again.

Salamander immediately threw out his long tail covered in magma.

The girl jumped up from the ground nimbly to avoid the attack, but perhaps her movement was too sudden. She lost control of her balance and fell to the ground.

Chris fell down together.

If I touch it directly with my paw, will the girl be burned to death?

It wasn't clear, and if she really was then maybe not... But the elf still came out of the magma, controlling his Mana to lower the heat on her body.

It stretched out its hand, just when it was about to touch the girl...

click...

The sharp wind blocked itself.

"Don't touch her with your dirty hands! Big Lizard!"

Sylvie's words seemed to be more aggressive than her weak wind for an elf, but it did attract Salamander's attention.

So let’s start with her.

The moment the elf shifted his gaze, a change occurred.

The flood appeared in front of it, blocking the girl and the elf with an absolute boundary like a wall.

Has that kid started thinking about this thing just now?The flood pushed it back into the magma with great force.

Fool!So what if it’s delayed like this!As an elf of fire, how could he be hurt by such a spell?What's more, he pushed himself into the magma that can be called a recovery pool. As long as he breathes a little, he can turn them into ashes even at this distance. The reason why he didn't do this is just because the silver-haired girl also It's just there.

But now that you dare to anger it like this, then use a rougher method to get rid of the kid next to you first!

Get rid of... except... eh?

There is only a vast white world in front of me, and I can't see anything.

At the moment when a large amount of steam was generated, the three of them had already disappeared...

It must have escaped through the hole it broke in. It was really like a mouse, but when it was really angry, it no longer cared so much. When it left here, the two yellow-haired boys were about to die.

When you step out of here.

Ok?

It was only when Salamander was about to step out that he realized something was really wrong.

The soles of my feet began to solidify.

not good!It was time to jump out in time. While the monitor lizard was thinking, it didn't even notice that the large amount of water like a lake had disappeared without a trace. The magma that had been touching its abdomen just now was emitting thick smoke and became Hard and indestructible.

If you can move your limbs, escaping from here is not a problem at all, but the key is that its strong limbs are firmly buried in the rock, along with the bright red spiny long tail, only the tip of the tail is pitifully sticking out. of a section.

It wanted to use its breath to melt this place again, but unfortunately it couldn't turn its head to its feet, because its neck was also fixed in place by the solid magma rock.

The boys and girls who had walked away could still hear the mournful cry from the giant lizard behind them.

30. The fate given by fire——4

I don’t know what time it is outside, but judging from the time we came out, it must have been night.

After running for a long time, we still couldn't see the exit. We just thought it was a big cave and we would be able to breathe the cool air from the outside again.

however……

"It's impossible. There must be another way."

"Swim from the magma to the outside world?"

"No...but how could such a thing happen!"

There was a muffled sound.

Looking at the stone wall in front of him that was slightly different from elsewhere, he punched it as if he was venting his resentment.

Of course the stone wall didn't move at all, but my fist was dripping with blood.

"Idiot! What's the point of doing such a thing!"

For the first time, Noelle looked a little angry and called me an idiot. Then he tore off his white shirt and bandaged my hand briefly.Sylvie turned her head with some disdain after seeing it.

"Hug, I'm sorry... I just feel like I don't know what to do."
