Months ago, Hemetus who was wearing large clothing, was ambling on a vast field of sand while his eyes were moving everywhere.
Hence, he halts in front of a temple; resembling a large fireball. He begins to walk towards its entrance and there he is welcome by fireballs appearing from side to side.
Hemetus closes his eyes and speaks, "This level of foolishness won't work on me. This desert is an illusion to fool every person who'll go to this place to find shelter, right?"
The sand outside, the sky, and every camel start to evaporate as a scenery of burning rocks, flaming ground, and red sky replaces the whole desert.
"I'm glad you've returned to your roots, Hemetus," a woman stepped out from the shadows.
"Romina." Hemetus turned beside him.
His mug begins to be painted with ferociousness as he opens his eyes. "I've heard a story all about this Arak that can grant a wish."
Romina looks down and begins to smile gently. She looks up and stares directly into his eyes. "A 'story'? From all high-ranking, you witnessed how powerful he is.
"Don't forget your origin and how you fooled your so-called friends into believing in your falsified story."
Romina jumps backward as Hemetus releases huge streams of flames; eliminating the fireballs on the wall.
Romina lands on the floor and she covers her lip while looking at him. "My, my… you sure are strong and dominant, not bad."
"Silence," Hemetus tells her, "you never shut your erotic tone."
She begins to chuckle whilst Hemetus remains standing in his position. Flaming spikes emerge underneath Romina; piercing her flesh.
Hemetus narrows his eyes at her. "I won't assume that the one I am facing is a real person."
Hemetus turns around and near him, Romina is standing while her hands are embracing her waist.
She opens her hand and fire emerges from it, and the flames shift onto a flaming spear.
Hence, Romina runs toward him but a wall of flames emerges in between them, and Romina is put to a halt as Hemetus remains calm.
"That's enough," Obiel lands on the wall of flames and it vanishes, "it seems a rat has come back."
"Hemetus… Hemetus is my name," Hemetus told Obiel whose eyes are mimicking a smile.
Gabriel moves his body onward to Hemetus. "I hate it when someone orders me around. Also, I hate those who don't look back on where they came from."
Hemetus brings out a dark stone from the pocket of his pants. He extends it forward and remains steady and tells both of them. "I don't want to earn your trust for I come here to serve Arak and make him grant me my deepest desire."
Fire emerges from Hemetus' back, and the flames manifest onto a pair of large flaming wings.
Hemetus lowers his head a little as his eyes are narrowing at Obiel and Romina. "I am a traitor but I only betray someone if I have something to gain from that betrayal of mine."
Presently, in the vast field of a wrecked village; many destroyed structures are scattered everywhere, and thousands of nagbabagane are scrambling toward Ranaliantra and Escarfra.
"Eat them," Romina pointed her index finger at the duo.
Ranaliantra throws multiple purple energy spheres at the nagbabagane and all of them begin to be burned by purple energy until they inflate and burst to pieces.
Escarfra's eyes are widening while staring at Ranaliantra whose back is facing her.
"Such power," Escarfra mumbled.
She looks away from Ranaliantra and witnesses three gigantic flaming giants moving their clenched hands toward her.
Ranaliantra releases a bit of her breath, and purple energy chains emerge from the ground. The purple energy chains wrap the giants' heads, wrists, abdomen, and ankles; all of them are pulled down to the ground.
Ranaliantra raises her hand at them and from her palm: she releases large purple energy spears onto the giants' neck.
Ranaliantra moves her hand down as she's inhaling and exhaling whilst the three flaming giants are fading to pieces.
Her red eyes are widening as Romina is ambling towards her. Escarfra arises as Ranaliantra straightens her upper body.
"This is absurd," Escarfra closes her hands, "I haven't felt this much exhaustion."
Romina is closing and opening her hand while staring at it; her eyes are painted with such ferociousness.
She speaks, "Luckily, I was brought back to life and my power was also enhanced. Ankara is a fool for believing that he is an important member of our team… in reality, he is just a replacement."
Escarfra clenches her hands while her eyes are glaring at Romina. "He served your team for the sole purpose of serving that Arak! How dare you call him a replacement for being a loyal teammate?!"
"Sometimes, I just don't understand why humans can feel sorry for those who attack them," Romina raises her hand, "but it doesn't matter for it's your time to die."
A flaming spear appears on her hand, therefore, she throws it forward.
The flaming sphere becomes brighter as it heads toward Ranaliantra, it becomes faster.
She narrows her eyes and inhales using her mouth. She points her hands at each other and purple energy appears on her palms; growing bigger and glowing brighter.
Ranaliantra points her hands forward. "I must protect the lady of the prophecy!"
The purple energy on her hands transforms into a gigantic purple energy shield.
The flaming spear appears only to strike the shield, as the flaming sphere is striking the purple energy shield: a tremendous force of the wind is moving in different directions.
Escarfra grimaces as she closes her hands, and fireflies are appearing around her. She looks forward and witnesses cracks appearing on the shield.
Escarfra raises her hand and points it forward while yelling, "Who said that I need to be protected?!"
A memory of Semfes smiling at her appears in her mind and he speaks, "I believe in you."
The fireflies are shining as orange fire is appearing from the soles of her feet; the flames surround her whole figure as it moves wildly.
Escarfra claps and points her hands forward as the ground underneath her is breaking as it levitates.
Ranaliantra falls to the ground as her eyes are widening. She looks beside her and sees Escarfra being covered by orange flames.
The shield breaks apart, and the flaming sphere flies toward Escarfra. She releases a tremendous stream of orange-yellow flames toward the spear and it burns to pieces.
The chunks of stone underneath her and Ranaliantra start to be coated by orange-yellow flames as the chunks levitate.
Romina points her hand forward and a levitating giant shield appears in front of her hand, and the shield blocks the flames.
Romina's eyes are widening and she jumps and flies toward mid-air whilst her shield is consumed by the orange-yellow flame.
Romina looks downward. "Her power increases to a whole new level!"
She looks upward and sees a hand generating an orange-yellow fireball in front of her eyes. Escarfra smiles widely and releases a huge stream of orange-yellow flames from the fireball.
Unfortunately, Romina releases a flaming snake from her hand and it opens its mouth and consumes the fireball.
The flaming snake's head inflates and bursts apart, and Romina jumps backward and performs a backflip as she lands on the ground.
"Shit," Ranaliantra summons purple energy spears which float around her, "back me up with that power!"
Escarfra shifts her eyes to Ranaliantra. "Do you mean?"
"Yes!" Ranaliantra clicked her tongue.
Purple energy particles appear around Ranaliantra; the particles multiply at a fast rate and coat her whole body.
Ranaliantra and Escarfra run forward and both of them leap from the edge of the floating burning chunks, therefore, they fly at greater speed toward Romina.
"So, they're taking me seriously?" Romina yawns, "I am finally receiving a challenge!"
She summons gigantic flaming spears and throws them toward Escarfra and Ranaliantra. They fly from side to side and avoid the humongous flaming spears.
Escarfra lands on one of the spears, grabs it; swirls the gigantic spear, and strikes the other incoming gigantic flaming spears.
Ranaliantra flies closer to one of the spears, so she throws multiple punches at the spear and it breaks to pieces.
Escarfra and Ranaliantra land on the ground whilst Romina opens her third and fourth eyes above her left and right eyes.
She releases invisible rays from it and it hits both Ranaliantra and Escarfra, only for a huge smoke to be seen.
A gigantic purple barrier appears after the smoke faded. The barrier breaks apart and Romina's eyes widen, and she feels her whole body vibrates.
On both of her sides, Ranaliantra and Escarfra are stepping towards her; both throw their energy and flaming punches at Romina but she vanishes.
Ranaliantra moves her eyes upward and she releases gigantic purple towers from the ground near her.
Millions of fireflies appear instantly around Romina.
Romina is moving her eyes around her. "So, this is how powerful the thief is?"
Smokes emerge from her skin as her bones crack. Her brown hair glows to the colour of red as it begins to grow until it reaches her back.
She raises her hand at her eye level and snaps it, consequently, five large flaming spheres appear around her; expanding and forming into colossal humanoid beasts.
The colossal humanoid beasts flap their dragon wings and fly towards the fireflies and they consume the insects.
Ranaliantra claps while grimacing at the sky, and then the towers discharge purple energy toward each other; forming a colossal sphere and it imprisons the colossal beasts and Romina.
Romina lands on the barrier and stomps on it while shouting, "Do you think that this can stop me?"
Ranaliantra's thighs shake quickly and they fold, yet she straightens them. Romina stomps the barrier repeatedly causing Ranaliantra to tremble and cough blood from her lip.
Escarfra looks at Ranaliantra. "T-That's enough."
Ranaliantra opens her eyes and she sees a woman in Escarfra. Ranaliantra smiles a little and tells her. "You look like someone who's kind and cares for the safety of others."
"What?" Escarfra asked.
Ranaliantra continues to smile at her. "They told me that if he catches you and devours you, he will achieve a whole new power that can obliterate humanity."
"At first, I hated you," Ranaliantra laughs softly yet she grunts, "but as I know you and fight that moron, I know there's something that I didn't see in you."
"So I am the reason why you're in that kind of situation?" Escarfra shakes her head, "at least let me help you."
"But her power increased to the point that she ate your attack," Ranaliantra steps from side to side yet she maintains her balance, "go, run!"
Escarfra shakes her head and she walks toward Ranaliantra. Escarfra halts in front of her, therefore, she raises her hands and embraces Ranaliantra.
"Sometimes, all we need is a warm embrace and then we'll be okay," Escarfra told Ranaliantra while caressing her back.
Orange-yellow flames emerge from Escarfra's whole body and they wrap Ranaliantra's whole body.
Bit by bit, Escarfra steps toward Ranaliantra's right side. Escarfra looks up and aims her hand at the colossal purple energy barrier.
"Let's slaughter them," Ranalaintra told Escarfra.
"Together," Escarfra replied.
Both of them raise their other hand at the colossal purple energy barrier. In front of their palms: a colossal purple energy spear and orange-yellow sword appear and both fly towards the barrier.
"No!" Romina stared downwards and witnessed the spear and sword reaching the barrier.
The barrier explodes and the towers begin to disappear. Ranaliantra steps backward while the light of her purple eye is fading eye, and she falls to her knees but Escarfra holds her arm and waist.
"Are you okay?" Escarfra asked.
Ranaliantra nods and in a blink of an eye, Escarfra is hit by a flaming serpent. Quickly, Ranaliantra looks in a certain direction and she is hit by a burning kick on her abdomen.
Romina is chuckling while brushing her flaming clothes. "I am Romina, the fourth-ranking nagbabagane. How can I be affected by such a silly technique?"
Romina looks down a bit as she remains chuckling, hence, two gigantic flaming humanoids appear on both of her sides. The gigantic flaming humanoids catch the punch of Ranaliantra and Escarfra.
Ranaliantra bites her teeth, and Romina comes out from the abdomen of the flaming humanoid; she holds Ranaliantra's head and slams her onto the ground.
She jumps only for multiple fireflies to surround her, and they all inflate and explode.
Romina comes out from the smoke, she lands across Ranaliantra who's recovering from her attack.
She clenches her hands while staring at Romina. "How can I win against her at this point? Even the power of Escarfra does not affect her. There must be a clue to overwhelm that brat."
Romina begins to release a small stream of fire from her fingertips, and the fire manifests onto ten flaming sabre tooth tigers.
The flaming sabre tooth tigers sprint toward Ranaliantra. She opens her hand and constructs a purple energy sword, therefore, she clenches it and swings it multiple times; cutting the flaming sabre tooth tigers to pieces.
Ranaliantra looks aside and she is hit by a vast stream of flames from Romina's palm.
A purple sword emerges from the flame and heads toward Romina.
Romina holds the purple blade, and it releases purple energy chains; wrapping Romina's hand.
"Oh?" Romina giggles, "I think you're belittling me too much."
Escarfra is being dragged away by the flaming serpent. She opens her other hand and summons fireflies; they fly toward the flaming skin of the serpent and all of them explode.
The grip of the serpent loosens causing Escarfra to land on the ground. She looks up with serious eyes fixated in a certain direction.
"I must catch up!" she began to move at her full speed.
Meanwhile, the flames vanish, and Romina's eyes widen as she sees no one but the sword and the purple chains wrapped around her hands.
More chains emerge from the ground near her, and all of them hold her whole body as they're pulling her down.
Romina's red skin begins to glow and tremendous flames emerge from her skin and it melts the purple energy chains.
Ranaliantra jumps toward her from aside, and she kicks her face and is pushed aside.
She glares at her. "How dare you?!"
Ranaliantra runs toward her while generating a purple energy spear in her hands. Romina coats her hands in bright flames and she sprints toward Ranaliantra; both thrust their spear and fist toward each other but both of them only hit each other's weapons.
Ranaliantra swiftly swings her spear which manifests into an axe; its blade reaches Romina's neck only for it to be bitten by a flaming snake from Romina's palm.
Ranaliantra summons a purple energy on her other palm, and the purple energy releases a long stream of purple energy; piercing Romina's arm and cutting it.
Her eyes are starting to narrow as they're being painted with fear. She kicks Ranaliantra and releases streams of flames that push her away.
Romina speaks, "I can't die! I will be unable to have my desire granted to me!"
She looks upward and immediately jumps aside only for a stream of fireflies to hit where she stood.
Her severed left arm begins to release bright red flames which generates her left arm down to her fingertips.
"Escarfra!" Ranaliantra halted beside her.
Escarfra looks at her, and Ranaliantra asks her with seriousness. "Hey, can you assist me with all you got?"
"What?" Escarfra raises her eyebrow at Ranaliantra, "I don't know if I can do that, especially, since I am not aware of how powerful I am."
"You are more powerful than what you think. I will be needing you to trust me," Ranaliantra said.
Escarfra stares at Ranaliantra for a brief minute. With so much determination painted in her eyes, Escarfra looks at Romina and mumbles, "Alright."
Romina begins to release flames from her mouth; the flames become strong and large as they cover her whole figure.
"Is she burning herself?" Escarfra said.
"Moron, she's enhancing herself!" Ranaliantra replied.
Romina yells as her voice becomes big and deeper. "I DESIRE TO SLAUGHTER BOTH OF YOU! I DON'T CARE IF ARAK NEEDS YOU! WHAT I SEEK IS YOUR DEATH!"
Ranaliantra bites her teeth. "We better give our all! We need to finish her!"
Romina is standing inside the flames of a colossal flaming humanoid resembling a naked flaming woman with long flaming hair resembling snakes.
