Chapter 55: Mysterious Kingdom – Part 2 (1/2)
After they got far enough away, the girls finally managed to breathe. Their hearts were pounding.
Even Ariel felt scared at that moment.
Suddenly, Amon said, ”Stop.”
The girls stopped walking, still breathless, as they had just run too fast and for a long distance.
Amon was breathing unsteadily as he looked in a certain direction; that's when a Lion appeared.
Just then, a thunderous sound came. A tall lion measuring over 180 cm, whose body was burning with flames, appeared. He is outraged when faced with his enemy.
”Flame Lion?!” Barbara identified it at the exact moment she saw it.
A Flame Lion has tasty meat, but it's very difficult to cook. Her mother has been practicing to develop the skill to prepare Flame Lion meat, and because of that, Barbara, who was a 'victim' of her mother's practice, knew that this was a Flame Lion.
The Flame Lion roared in rage at the sight of Amon and the girls and then flung his body right at them. But, without even getting close to them, he's already widened his mouth, then a massive ball of fire was launched at them.
”Let me handle it.” Barbara took a step forward.
Her hands began to show genetic veins, and as soon as she reached out, the massive fireball crashed into her hands. But instead of burning or even hurting her, the fireball began to be sucked into her as if she was a vacuum cleaner.
Barbara smiled, and, in her hands, blue flames appeared.
The Flame Lion was surprised to see what Barbara had done and was cautious when it saw that she was about to attack.

Outside the mysterious realm, guests from Golden Phoenix University, as well as some high-ranking people, were watching what was going on.
They started talking when they saw that Amon's group would face an animal with 40 genetic unlocks.
”Oh?”
Barbara's move to stop the Flame Lion's attack was a little surprising.
”Blue flames, not common.” The town mayor muttered.
The city mayor's acquaintances nodded since they were also curious about Amon's group.
Soon the blue fireball hit the Flame Lion hard.
When the dust curtain came off, they were able to see the Lion of Flame again.
He was covered in burns.
Moments later, Barbara looks at Amon and then at the Lion of Flame.
”Kill it!”
The Flame Lion has just realized its situation.
However, it was too late.
He was seriously injured and couldn't concentrate properly.
Barbara approached him.
She struck the Flame Lion's head with one hand, and a violent power surged, crushing the Flame Lion's head.
The Flame Lion died like that.
Many were impressed by what they saw.
The young man, who felt all-powerful, snorted in disdain. 'At my university, this level of power is easily found in even the most mediocre students.'

After Barbara has finished killing, Amon looks at the girls, ”There must be more animals not far from here.”
Hearing this, Ariel and the girls rejoiced. ”Shall we leave then?”
