Chapter 82 - 80

"Move!" Reif shouted with urgency. He didn't even wait for the Rhash to move as he had already used his gravity magic to push his big brother away from the danger

"Puny creatures, how dare you to kill my children!" The lord of the Lava - Agui roared in anger

His voice alone already caused the area to shake terribly. It was like an apocalyptic earthquake has descended down in the mortal world

"You talk too much" Reif said boredly as he condensed a crimson sword into his hand

He is not someone that bothers much about his enemies. Since Rhash said that he has to kill this lava monster to obtain the treasure in this place then he has to do it

"Impudent!" Agui shouted angrily and he lifted his large hand made from molten rock

The surrounding space trembled from the heatwave as Agui tried to slap Reif as if he was some sort of a fly

Too bad that Reif is far from being a weak fly. The man's face was filled with a serious look as he wields his sword

Weng!

Crimson lights flashed and in the next second, Agui's lava hand was already cut into multiple smaller pieces and he 'bled'

His bleeding was not of blood though. It's like a fountain of lava has appeared in his body while his arm fell into the ground

"Damn human!" Agui's anger just rose to another level yet Reif ignored that

He wielded his sword in front of him, planning to stab the lava monster in the chest with it

However, Agui was different compared to his weaker children

The lava in Agui's feet boiled before they all rose from the ground. This ability of his has a large area of ​​control and the lava soon swallowed Reif's body

The man vanishes as the whole area around him was devoured by the lava and Rhash's eyes instantly reddened from worry

He knew that Reif wouldn't easily die like this but he was like a father that couldn't help but worry about every little thing his baby is going through

Rhash's eyes reddened as he charged through the blanket of lava in the air. His foot kicked the lava a punch and a wide hole devoid of any lava has appeared in the sky

"Big brother, you know that something at this level wouldn't kill me" Reif's voice entered Rhash's ears

Reif appeared in front of Rhash and he gave the latter a light push. The gravity did their wonders and Rhash was pushed away from the lava's range

"I can handle this" Reif reassured him but Rhash was thinking that it would be safer if they were to fight the monster together

Deciding that he should end this as soon as possible, Reif raised his hand and the skies were soon covered with a large number of crimson-colored swords

"Weak tricks!" Agui snorted and the lava moves again. They turned into some sort of an umbrella that blocked the falling swords

Even thick metals would melt at Agui's lava but Reif's sword is different

Instead of melting and turning into liquid, the swords merely exploded as soon as they touched the lava

Soon, the skies were filled with crimson explosions as large droplets of lava splashed around

The exploding swords have destroyed the 'lava umbrella' that Agui has created earlier, ultimately destroying his defense

Woosh!

A red arrow suddenly flew in the air and it was aimed at Agui's chest part

This might be a sneak attack but Agui wasn't completely helpless against it. His now fully healed lava hand moved and blocked the arrow from hitting his chest

"Tsk" Rhash complained as the arrow he sent failed to do its job. Although Reif doesn't want him to do anything, he wouldn't just sit back and do nothing

Rhash don't want to become a mere trophy or a fragile flower that needs protection all the time

He could also be a great help!

"Tsk" Reif created the same sound as his figure speedily moves in the air

His sword once again aimed at Agui's chest where his core was hiding inside yet the Lava Lord merely stretched out his hand

Agui 'sprayed' molten rocks to Reif. Since the man was flying that fast, it wouldn't be easy to dodge this attack

As a result, he could only use gravity to repel everything that might possibly make contact with his body

Even then, some lava still landed in his body creating sizzling sounds as his skin got burned

Agui is by no means weak and killing him required great power. Although Rhash won't let Reif kill this monster if he doesn't think his little gem could do it, it still doesn't mean that it would be an easy thing to do

After he got injured, the shard of life and healing instantly appeared on Reif's forehead. That tattoo lines spread into the entirety of his forehead and his burned skin returned back to normal as if nothing has happened to him

Reif ignored the painful burning sensation in his body thanks to the lava as he continued charging at his enemy

Agui has to admit that he did not expect that. He thought that Reif would retreat and he was ready to have a follow-up attack as soon as that happens

What he didn't know was that Reif don't need to care about small injuries as they would heal almost instantly

Agui was caught off guard but he is still not a weak little lamb. The monster tapped its finger into the air and four magic circles instantly appeared around Reif

Strings made from lava came out from the magic circles and they tried to wrap themselves on Reif's body

However, the strings acted as if they met some sort of an invisible wall. They can't get closer to Reif from a certain point

The threads trembled as if they were trying to break something as Reif gritted his teeth. Using gravity to keep the strings away from his body isn't necessarily an easy thing to do

Fortunately, Reif is not alone. Khaknur used his own threads as spider silk went to cover the lava monster's hand, preventing that from moving even just for a little bit of time

A red light cuts through the air as Rhash readied his fist. When he arrives near Agui, he put his fist into motion as he threw out a punch, trying to destroy the hard chest armor of Agui

Unfortunately for Rhash, Agui has created lava hands from its chest. They were the ones that received his punch and lava debris splattered around

That was a success though as that delay gave the lava monster the time to remove itself from the influence of Khaknur's spider web

Agui uses his hand to also try and slap Rhash as if he was a mere fly

To protect himself, Rhash uses his blood wings. He had them cover his body as he received the terrible impact from that slap

Rhash's body was thrown into the molten rocks below, entering the sea of ​​lava

"Big brother!" Reif shouted from worry as his eyes turned bloodshot

The gravity was affected by Reif's mood and large droplets of lava floated from the ground, revealing Rhash's figure inside them

He was protected by his magic but there were still areas that are injured. Rhash might also have excellent self-healing capabilities but Reif still don't want him to get hurt

But for that to happen, Reif has to kill his enemy soon. Lucky for him, the gears in his mind seems to have worked perfectly

Agui got most of his power from his environment. All around him was a sea of ​​magma and lava, increasing his power

If that is the case then ...

Reif pointed his hands below him and he made a parting motion. Soon, a jaw-dropping scene has appeared

All the lava with Agui as the center moved away from him. It looks like a tsunami of lava has appeared and they swallowed the multiple volcanoes around them

The bodies of the volcano got washed away by the lava tsunami, becoming one with the sea of ​​molten rocks

As expected, Reif sensed a drop from Agui's power. It wasn't that massive of a change but Agui is more powerful when he was directly having physical contact with lava

Reif used this chance as he once again charged at his foe that reached the peaks of its anger

"Annoying creatures, die!" Agui placed his arms in his side as his palms expanded. With forceful movements, he clapped his hands together to try and squash Reif's body but that didn't work out

There was some invisible wall that prevents him from going further. That invisible wall even expanded and created a hole in his palms

Reif continued and he poured mana into his sword that instantly grew longer in size

The sword expended multiple times its length and it was even long enough to reach the lava monster's chest
