83 83 Duel of Fires (1/2)

He walked with a strange confidence to the front of the group, silencing any all of the shouts that were previously stirring the winds.

The heat rose from deep within his core, a boiling, seething fire erupted from within with no need for an ignition. It was so hot that Donis's chest started glowing and his ribs and lungs were able to be seen.

As the sea of red approached the group, Donis unleashed the most powerful rage-fueled, white-hot [Dragonfury I] he has ever tried. The heat blast emanating from the beam was powerful enough to knock down the tables around Donis, and to push the hair away from the faces of the ones behind him.

The air was superheated so quickly that the sound it emitted was like hearing a jet engine rip through the atmosphere. Striga noticed the heatwave was so powerful it threatened the group too, since the slaves behind even her were weak.

She cast a large [Water Prison] pillar and surrounded the weakened people, shielding them from the overbearing heat Donis was lashing out.

The [Dragonfury I] hit the unidentifiable spell with a great force, thought the sea of red flames didn't recede, but coiled around Donis's beam.

[Dragonfury I] screamed and screeched, trying its best to rip through the incorporeal flame body, but the only thing that happened was Donis's beam was devoured.

The master didn't move an inch as this was taking place, though his posture was weakening by the moment. Eventually the master had to take a knee just as Donis's beam ended. He was panting, and sweat dripped off of his brow.

”How? How coul-could you use something so powerful?” stuttered the master.

Donis didn't waste a moment and flashed forward moving at his highest speed. He cast [Immolate I] on the master himself and saw his clothing set ablaze.

The master screamed for a split second, right before the runes appeared once more in the air and the red flames surrounded the masters body, devouring the [Immolate I] that had taken root.

”What the fuck are you? What the fuck are these flames? GAH,” screamed the master towards Donis as he threw down his fist into the ground, sending cracks in every direction away from him. A shockwave filled with the dark red flames and runic words sped towards the group, targeting Donis head on.

Cypher stepped in quickly kicking at the floor with her right foot, sending a bright blue energy wave along with the kick directly into the ground. The wave turned into a spiralling pillar of ice that rotated and took the rock with it, redirecting the shockwave upwards.

Everyone looked up to see what was above them, but all they saw was a dark and deep void. Looking back down the master had already fled the scene, and not even Donis could follow his presence using [Void Sense].

Cursing out loud, Donis vented his fury by punching the ground, and the entire space shook.

”Uh, I didn't do that?” stated and asked Donis at the same time.

”No it wasn't you kid, the whole place is collapsing!” screamed Striga!

”Everyone, quick, get the people out of here through the exit we found! NOW!”

Everyone only took a quick second to realise what was just issued before they all kicked into gear and began rushing as quickly as their legs would let them.

Donis found Gark laying somewhere unconscious, and unable to fend for himself. He took out Etheria and placed Gark on top of her, he then went and picked up some of the other unconscious kids. The two were able to carry all 6 of the unconscious kids and made their way to the forefront of the escape plan.
