Chapter 8 Manifesting Heat 1.2

Escarfra manipulates the fireflies and they put Lianna and Marie on the ground in a gentle manner.
Lianna turns toward Escarfra and looks into her face. "What are you going to–"
"Execute the main agenda," Escarfra's orange eyes are glowing, "Marie, go with Lianna."
Marie shakes her head and scowls at her. "I don't understand! We won't leave you!"
Lianna grabs her arms whilst Marie moves her eyes toward her arm but she's too late because Lianna is already running while pulling Marie with her.
Escarfra begins to step forward and the fireflies everywhere fly toward her.
"We will not retreat," Obiel aims his hand at Escarfra, "we will accomplish his goal to eradicate all life on earth."
"Wait!" Revior turns toward Obiel, "don't fight her!"
"Why?" Obiel looks over at Revior, "if you're afraid, just stand there and watch."
Obiel points his hand at Escarfra whilst multiple fireflies gather around her; the fireflies glowing bit by bit.
And from his hands, a gigantic fireball manifests at a fast rate and then it goes toward Escarfra.
"Let's see where those stolen powers of yours lead you, Escarfra," Obiel said while staring at the gigantic fireball.
The gigantic fireball disappears in an instant leaving Escarfra with eyes full of madness.
Her eyes radiate bright orange light as the fireflies glow brighter, hence, all of them go toward Obiel.
"Are you taunting me?" Obiel launched more gigantic fireballs.
Each numerous firefly flies toward the gigantic fireballs and causes tremendous explosions; spreading the overwhelming force of the wind which lifts multiple trees from the soil.
Escarfra is running towards Obiel whilst Obiel throws multiple large flaming spheres toward her but she jumps from side to side, and she completely avoids his attacks.
The fireflies settle on her back as she's sprinting toward Obiel.
"I won't allow him!" Escarfra's orange eyes shine brightly, "there's no turning back from this!"
Bright orange light flashes around her, leaving fireflies levitating in their place. Hence, the fireflies fly toward Obiel.
"Is that all? Fireflies?" Obiel smirked.
The firefly breathes flames and the fire combines into an immense flaming wave heading towards him.
"This is what her stolen power looks like when utilize?" Obiel aims his hand at the incoming immense flaming wave, "it's indeed amazing to see."
His human-like appearance begins to melt leaving his magma skin with spikes protruding from his head, back, and shoulders.
"I'll show you the true power of the second high-ranking nagbabagane," Obiel whispered.
A colossal flaming sphere is launched by Obiel and it strikes the immense flaming wave. The clash of the flaming attacks causes a colossal flaming orb to occur on the battlefield; spreading an enormous force of flames everywhere.
"Obiel! You're out of your mind!" Revior roared at Obiel.
The colossal flaming sphere explodes later on, and it leaves a huge crater on the battlefield, there are huge clouds of smoke occurring everywhere on the battlefield.
Obiel's eyes widen a bit while staring at Escarfra who remains standing on her ground while her hands are raised.
"Unbelievable," Obiel said.
Thousands of fireflies fly away from the wooden mansion behind Escarfra, and the wooden mansion has no damage on it.
Smokes are occurring from her exposed skin, and her eyes are fixated downward, her lip is open a bit while she's breathing at a fast rate.
Her clothes are a bit worn exposing a bit of her chest, abdomen, and thighs. Her thighs begin to tremble and she falls to her knees.
Obiel looks upward as he chuckles. "What a shame, your stolen power can overthrow me due to its enormous flaming power."
Obiel begins to walk towards her. "I'll take you along with us and we'll finally be able to achieve our chance to make our wish."
He stops in his footsteps and touches his shoulder, and he looks at it. "It's an arrow."
He turns everywhere and multiple arrows come down from everywhere and pierce his magma skin.
Obiel moves his eyes upward as he's falling to his knees, and there, he witnesses Lyn ambling onward in his direction.
"What is this?!" Obiel asked.
Lyn halts beside Escarfra who is on her knees. She slaps her nape causing Escarfra to fall to the ground.
"I know what you're aiming for," Lyn, the armored woman says, "this woman. Shall I slaughter her like what your kind did to my father?"
Lyns swings her sword and it cuts a magma spear in half. She looks beside her and sees her father.
"You can't fool me," Lyn scowls at him, "you're Revior, the one who murdered my father!"
Lyn points her hand at Obiel, and sharp blades emerge from his skin causing Obiel to cough repeatedly.
"Stay, wait for your turn." Lyn looked at Obiel.
Lyn turns toward Revior and sprints onward to him. Revior remains standing in his position as he's staring at Lyn who's running in his direction.
The knights come out of the shadow; they all utilize their bows and launch multiple arrows toward Obiel.
Lyn swings her sword but she uses her shield and a fireball strikes her shield while multiple screams echo on the battlefield.
Lyn puts down her shield from her face, and she can see multiple men laying on the ground; some of them are burning and some are rolling repeatedly.
"Do you think that tricks like that would work on me?" Obiel points his hand at Lyn, "it's just funny that it didn't work!"
Obiel launches multiple fireballs at Lyn while she swings her sword, and its blade causes a deep line on Revior's chest down to his abdomen.
She steps forward and proceeds to sprint toward Obiel, hence, she swings her sword in different directions cutting the fireballs in half.
Revior turns toward Escarfra who's laying on the ground, therefore, he runs toward her. Lyn swings her sword as she moves closer to Obiel.
"Damn it! This woman moves quickly!" Obiel instantly moves from side to side; only to avoid her sword, "at this rate! I might die!"
His eyes move aside and there he witnesses Revior kneeling in front while touching her whilst Escarfra is slapping his hands away from her.
"What are they doing–!" Obiel moved his eyes to his hand only to see it slip from its place.
Lyn shouts, "You're finished! Give up before I slaughter you!"
"I'm not afraid to die," Obiel shifts his eyes to her eyes, "death is nothing to the likes of me, human.
"I wasn't created to fear such elements nor fear the likes of you… I was made to finish your kind and aid Arak in his goal: creating a world wherein we will not be enslaved by your race!"
He swiftly points his remaining hand at Lyn, his hand begins to release bright red color and a thick force of flames emerges from his palm.
"Goodbye," Obiel told her, his voice was calm, and not even a hint of mercy can be heard.
A shield comes out from the flame and it flies toward Obiel. He steps aside and the flames come to a halt and a woman is scrambling towards him.
She swivels her sword until it's pointing at Obiel, ergo, she thrusts her sword but he holds the blade.
He bends her blade until it breaks apart. Lyn begins to smile and the blade which Obiel is holding grows instantly; the blade pierces his abdomen until it emerges from his back.
Lyn steps closer to him. "You're number two because you cannot beat number one."
She swings her sword and cuts both of his arms and she stabs his throat using her sword.
Revior moves his eyes toward Obiel and he looks at him calmly whilst Obiel is falling to the ground.
"Goodbye to the only human that I cherish and the one who owns my sympathy, my precious Beiya," Obiel is falling while his eyes are turning dull as his lip curves upward, "I was not satisfied with my life until I met you, Beiya. You were the only one who made my heart soft and emotional.
"Thank you for everything, Beiya. I'll see you in my next life, and I hope you're still there and will not hesitate to play with me."
Revior moves his eyes toward Escarfra; he surrounds his arms on her upper and lower body. He lifts her and begins to run in a certain direction.
"What are you doing?!" Escarfra yelled with all of her energy.
"I'm sorry, Obiel," Revior tells himself, "I couldn't help you… what I'm truly aiming for is to be with my daughter."
Revior jumps backward only for a magma spear to hit the ground in front of him. He looks aside and sees Romina standing there while gazing at him; her eyes are steady and calm.
Romina speaks in anger. "I knew that there was something wrong! You! You're a traitor."
"I'm willing to do anything! You don't understand!" Revior yells, "if this is the only way that I can be with my daughter then I will not hesitate to do anything just to be with her!"
"It seems that you're not dithering," Romina's red eyes begin to dim, "but we are created for one thing! And you seem to be uneducated about it."
"So, let me educate you one last time." she released a visible white ray toward him.
Revior turns toward Romina, and he releases a magma wall that sprouts from the ground.
The magma wall blocks the ray but a strong explosion occurs and it throws Revior towards the nearby tree.
"J-Just let me go, R-Revior," Escarfra tells him without looking at him, "I need to go away."
"No!" Revior yells at her while tears are falling from his eyes, "if this will be the only way that I can fill the missing gap in being your father! I will do anything to be a father in your eyes."
He stands up from the body of the tree, and so he runs once again in the same direction.
"Where are you going?" Romina smiles softly while gazing at him, "I will not allow you to go away."
A flaming giant appears in front of Revior, and he throws a swift punch toward Revior. The body of the flaming giant begins to divide as it flies toward Revior's eyes.
"Absorbing my creation?" Romina runs toward Revior, "what a pesky ability!"
Revior turns his head to Romina, and then the massive force of lava emerges from his eyes.
Revior coats himself in flames, therefore he ascends from the ground and flies away from the battlefield.
"Why are you doing this?" Escarfra opens her eyes only to see Revior's flaming mug, "you don't need to force yourself to betray your race… when I was under your wings, you taught me the ways of your race.
"But I left you all of a sudden… I apologize."
Revior shakes his head. "No. It was entirely my fault for dragging you away from your original life.
"I'll do anything just to keep you safe, even if I need to betray my clan."
Blades emerge from Revior's body whilst Escarfra's eyes broaden.
Meanwhile, back in the cabin, Alamia is sitting on the ground while Tobias is speaking in front of her.
"In a battlefield, you will need to know about the shifting in power or the form wherein we'll activate the element residing in us," Tobias said.
He opens his hand, and soon later, small silver spots can be seen on his palm; multiplying until his whole hand is covered by silver.
"But I can use my power, it's like you're making a fool of me," Alamia said angrily.
"I'm not done yet," Tobias' silver hand becomes big and spikes sprout from his knuckle, "when you're in synchronization with your element, hence, it will result in a new form of power."
Tobias closes his large silver hand, thence it returns to its original state. He looks at Alamia and says, "I've noticed that during our sparring, you've channeled a new power which increases your power."
Alamia stands up. "Yes. That power of mine only works when I'm with my fishing rod."
"Well, I want you to utilize that power even without your fishing rod," Tobias ordered Alamia.
"Are you mad?!" Alamia's eyes are widening as her eyebrows raise, "if I don't use my fishing rod then I can not use that power of mine."
"What if that fishing rod breaks apart?" Tobias seriously tells her, "so tell me, you're not Alamia without the fishing rod? Or are you the Alamia that is strong without the fishing rod?"
"I-I'm," Alamia moves her eyes downward, "I don't know…"
She sees a pair of shoes, and then she looks upward and sees a folded paper. Alamia moves her eyes to the one who's holding it who's no other than Tobias.
He speaks calmly. "I want you to read this letter… it might help you find your true self."
She gently grabs the paper from his grasp and unfolds it. Her eyes are widening while reading the words embedded in the paper.
"Dear, Alamia.
It's me, Semfes Alshian. I am thankful for the journeys that we had; fighting those monsters with you is fun.
As of now, I'm inside my room which Ranaliantra and the others put me in. I had a dream wherein I was tasked to protect the lady with the Y.
If you are reading this letter, then it's a sign that I'm heading to her. I'm sorry if I had to leave, I just don't want you to feel guilty for not being able to protect me; standing for you is one of the things that I love to do.
I just want you to know that you're the kindest and loveliest woman that I met, and our memories will be forever locked in my heart.
I may be gone, but our memories will always remain living in our hearts. The memories that we have are irreplaceable and I will always cling to them to grow stronger and I hope you do.
Until the day that I'll meet you again, you can hurt me or do anything for I acted like a fool.
Your comrade, Semfes."
The letter slips from her hand but it was caught by Tobias. Tears are falling from her eyes as her whole body is trembling and then she falls to her knees.
After some time passes, Alamia is sitting on the ground while her hands are pointing at each other.
"Now, I know," Alamia closes her eyes, "who I am… I am not the lady with buckets of fish because I am Alamia, and I will evolve to a new level of power!"
She opens her eyes, and she looks everywhere only to see water walls on both of her sides.
Therefore, she begins to walk on a pathway made of dry land, she continues to walk until she sees a floating glowing blue fishing rod.
"Is that?!" she begins to sprint toward it, "what is that thing doing here?"
Hence, she hears Tobias' voice echoing in her mind, saying, "You must be able to connect with yourself, when you are linking with your power it will channel the essence of your power through your whole body."
She's now closer to her fishing rod, therefore, she halts in front of it. Alamia extends her hand toward the fishing rod and the ground shakes after her index finger touches the fishing rod.
"What's happening?!" she moved her eyes in all directions.
Meanwhile, Tobias is standing in front of Alamia who's sitting on the ground; her eyes are closed as her hands are slowly moving toward each other.
"This is bad!" Tobias touches her wrists; preventing them from moving, "I must not intervene but in this case! Her power might swallow her consciousness and it will imprison her to an endless illusion loop."
During the interim, Alamia is standing in front of the glowing blue fishing rod as its color shifts to red.
The fishing rod begins to disperse while Alamia is gazing at it.
"If that is not my fishing rod," Alamia looks at her hands only to see her fingertips turning red, "I've heard this from him, once this is occurring to me then I'll be imprisoned forever."
"What will I do?" Alamia begins to tremble as her bodily fluids are forming on her head, "I want to see him, I want to be with him."
"Alamia!" Tobias echoes throughout her mind.
"Tobias?! Help me!" Alamia looked everywhere.
Her hands to her chest are turning red while red glowing letters instantly appear on her whole body.
"Semfes," Alamia envisions Semfes's smiling at her, "without you by my side… I'm nothing, with you I am strong, I can do anything."
Tobias' eyes are broadening while witnessing Alamia's ski turning to rock. He remains holding her wrist with his now silver hands; he's preventing her hands from touching each other.
Alamia closes her eyes as her head and hair turn red; she remains standing in her position while her body remains standing and not even a hint of movement can be seen.
The water wall is decreasing as the dry floor is breaking to pieces.
"No!" Tobias moves away from Alamia, "I failed! She's now detained in her mind."
His silver hands slowly break into pieces, and his eyes are now full of sadness while he's gazing at Alamia.
"I failed," he said, he closed his eyes as tears fell from his eyes.
