Chapter 129: A teasing man (2/2)

The Fourth place! With the same points of 11500 — We have a tie! The Young Miss of Lowe family! Her Highness Lady Lyka Lowe and The Big Brother of Gustav Family — Hilion Gustav!

In fifth place! Ember of Lupine and Harou of the Lowe family were tied at 10500 points.

But the elimination was still ongoing so we can't say for sure who will come up at the top!

Everyone! Let's watch and enjoy as we witness who among our great warriors will dominate the points and enter the last barrier.”

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!

The whole Public Square shook at the people's cheer.

Around this time, inside the barrier, every participant came closer and closer to the last barrier. But their advance wasn't as fast as the last two boundaries.

Their visibility was hindered terribly, and stronger monsters were roaming across the land waiting for their victim.

Ember and the other were currently battling with a demon.

None of them knew what happened to Cinder and Crimson. But they believed that both of them were still alive. In any case, they could only advance. And so the group decided to team up with each other.

With Ember and Aegor as the vanguard, Tiafel, and Taflas as their range support, they managed to kill the demon.

None of them really cared about the points, the most important for them was to reach the last barrier.

At the same time that their group just finished killing the demon, Yman just came back inside the cave.

”How's your sightseeing outside?” He was greeted by a question.

”Just as you said,” his reply.

”Do you think we can make it before the deadline? Can we make it?” She questioned him again with a mix of worry.

”Don't worry, as long as you help me with one thing, we can do it without a hitch.”

His straightforward answer was like a melodious song in her ears, it brought so much weight and calmed down her raging worry, giving her more confidence like a prince charming in a fantasy movie.

She knew that this guy was not just an empty talk as she already witnessed all the impossible things he did these past few days that they were together.

”Okay just tell me what I needed to do!” She beamed excitedly.

Yman smiled.

”Flame Mating…”

”.....”

However, her reaction was unexpected to him. She turned red all of a sudden and steam coming out from her head.

Her face was that of embarrassment.

*Fidget!*

*Fidget!*

”B-B-But w-we just know e-each other for an s-short t-time!”

Her stammering words puzzled him and even her reaction.

”Eh?”

Seeing her partner's puzzlement,

”Wha—?”

Yman was dumbfounded.

It was also the same words he whispered in her ears when they fought the [Nightmare] class beast. He found himself in a weird situation for some reason.

Yman explained to her that what he meant by [Flame Mating] wasn't like what she thought.

Though she felt embarrassed for her initial reaction, she accepted what he meant. She also was curious about this [Flame Mating] technique that he proposed to her.

The two of them were in meditation postures while in a half-naked state in which their back was touching each other. While closing their eyes.

”By the way, Crimson, how did you manage to solidify your [Mana Coating] even without you supplying mana on it?” Before they started what they needed to do, he heard her asking a question.

It's what was bugging her the whole time after seeing his [Fire Dolls]. Actually, it wasn't ordinary to use [Mana Coating] separate from the caster. It should only work if it was close to the caster's body.

However, this person was able to use it like it was some kind of rubber or some solid substances.

Yman's pupils moved to the side of his eyes, seemingly glancing behind him but not really looking at her as she was in her underwear only.

He was silent for a moment, thinking if it was fine to tell her about it. After thorough thinking, he opened his mouth, ”the trick about it is the storage, in your case, it was called a spatial ring. To us, we called it Cyber Storage, but both were just the same. Just the name and the application was different. Inside that storage was a dimensional space in which time stopped running as we closed it. However, it's not as simple as placing the [Mana Coating] spell inside. For it to solidify, you must repeatedly place it inside then take again, after taking it, cast another [Mana Coating] in it. Then place inside again, then take again and cast another [Mana Coating].

(Cinder was wearing an 'Aha' expression.)

'Right, you can't use another [Mana Coating] spell to a [Mana Coating] spell if it's connected to the body because even if you use your other hand to cover it with another [Mana Coating] spell it would only reinforce the already existing one and no other reaction at all.

But, if it was frozen inside the spatial storage, after taking it, you can use another spell because the mana thread that was sustaining it was already cut. So it was a separate spell already after putting it inside the store. In this case, you can use another spell, a separate spell than the first one.

Wait.'

”Isn't it going to dissipate when you take it out of storage?” Cinder realized the obvious problem.

Yman's mouth extended into a smile. ”It will, but not right away, in this case, you have to use the basic tier spell [Durability] and [Strengthening].”

”The real process is [Mana Coating], storage, take out, [Durability], storage, take out, [Strengthening], storage, take out, [Mana Coating], and then repeat the process until it solidifies to a certain degree you desire.”

Yman said it but he didn't need this process as he had the [Skill Modifying] ability. But he could not tell her about it.

But the process he told her was a valid explanation as well. It would certainly do the trick.

After satisfying her curiosity, the two proceeded to what they originally wanted to do. To create some stronger [Fire Dolls] that could help them to cross the last barrier.

He would use her flame while the [Mana Coating] was his.

Since he was going to use his Black Miasma, he had to trick her by saying she needed to close her eyes and concentrate until the process was completed.

Actually, he realized something about her flame. It wasn't ordinary.

In meditation posture, while their naked backs were touching each other, both of them closed their eyes at the same time.

Cinder's flame envelopes her body, while at the same time he activates his Black Miasma and starts using his [Skill Modifying].

After a couple of minutes, they were finally ready to venture the red mist.

But before they started.

He teased her by saying that he didn't dislike what she initially thought about [Flame Mating]. After all, he didn't dislike her to be honest.

This made her speechless and boiled in redness. But he chuckled that made her want to beat him for teasing her.

From his storage, the dino type [Fire Doll] walked out. The inside of it was made from her flame. But the [Mana Coating] or the skin was black.
