286 The Ominous Shaman (2/2)
'Dragon Scales!'
After thinking about possible solutions, only using 'Dragon Scales' to try and stop the burning came to my mind, after all, they were supposed to be the toughest type of scales in the 'Lost Realm', they should be able to stop these witch flames, right?
'No effect…?'
The purple flames continued spreading over, just like they were doing even before I encased my body with the dragon scales, seemingly as if material defenses proved of no use against it...
Trying to emmit ice elements didn't help, neither did trying to fight fire with fire work. Activating 'Body of Elements' in all of its forms and elements resulted in nothing, the purple fire completely ignored whatever I tried at this point. I was finally starting to experience a type of feeling that I almost completely forgot about… desperation…
The fire didn't actually hurt, but it was disintegrating the burnt parts bit by bit, if this thing continued on, then I was likely to be consumed as a whole in a few hours…
”AAAAAHHHH…”
I could suddenly feel the pain spreading through my arm after a few minutes had passed, screaming out impulsively, I somewhat understood that it acted like a slow effect poison of some sort... The fire's burn which felt like a thousand times stronger than normal fire was close to turning me insane after a few seconds of my realising its effect…

Seeing the system notif with a hazy mind, I didn't know how to react, if this continued, I was likely to lose my mind and kill myself to relieve myself from the pain…
Not even one of my immunity skills leveled, and my advanced 'Fire Immunity' seemed useless so far, which meant that none of the abilities that came to mind were likely to work as well, so what was the solution… Was I really supposed to die in this crappy base that had no proper Overseer after surviving through the last one that I overcame even in my weaker state…?
'Stay calm, there must be a solution, somehow… I must stay calm…'
Holding on to the last drop of my sanity and trying to suppress all the suicidal thoughts or the blackouts that wished to take place seemed like the hardest battle I fought so far, hope seemed to have given up on me, and the worst part was that… the pain I was almost dying off at the point resulted from only half my arms being burned so far…
It had only reached the dragon tattoo which no longer felt like something important at this moment… I was slowly succumbing to…
'Yeah, I should probably give up, nothing is worth going through that much pain for it…'
”ROAAAARRRRRR!”
At the last moment of me giving up, and just as I was going to grab my dropped sword to stab my own heart to die as quickly as possible, the loud dragon roar brought me one last moment of rationality…
