The dark clouds are looming in the sky of the Desert. The sky was filled with flashes of lightning and thunder, the roar of thunder would make anyone who heard it have a hearing problem, and if one would look at it, they would feel that the day of judgment has come.
On the ground, the desert that should have been dry and hot was now fully covered with ice and snow. The temperature has reached such a low point even the water vapor in the air became white mist that was floating in the whole vicinity.
Opposite of this place was nothing but darkness, there was a human silhouette in the center of it that kept the dark energy from continuously expanding.
Yes, these three areas are Voli, Aoi, and Sofia's respective domains.
Seeing that the group of geniuses have already left, Fein instantly appeared beside Sofia using his Flashing Dash.
Fein looked at Sofia and asked, "Are the preparations ready?"
"What do you plan to do now? And are they okay?" Sofia asked worriedly.
"They already left, I bet this is the end of their exploration. After all, they suffered heavily. As for my plan. We will test the water first, Voli try attacking the Blazing Inferno!"
Fein commanded, he shouted at the sky where Voli was waiting for his orders.
He plans to see if they can defeat the Blazing Centipede without using the last resort he thought of...
Voli raised two huge furry hands, just like that, a bolt of lightning flashed heading towards the Fiery Flame that swallowed an entire area.
The lightning hit the "Blazing Inferno" under Fein's scrutinizing eyes. He hopes that the attack could at least disrupt the fire, as the only way to offset energy was to disrupt it with the same property. Lightning is an energy attack.
The lightning penetrated the Blazing Inferno and disappeared. As Fein expected, it was hopeless... The lightning didn't even cause any reaction. The temperature of the fire have reached the Star Surface, it was terrifyingly high. That s why Fein and his friends kept a distance of 1km from the place, but even then they can still feel the heat slightly if not for Aoi protecting them with her ice powers.
Fein looked at the Blue Eagle who in turn also looked at him. "Aoi, try it..."
Aoi nodded at the Fein. She controlled her domain with precision. In the Ice and Snow domain, a white ball of energy was being produced at a fast speed. This white ball is a concentrated ice and snow mist, Aoi kept adding ice energy and compressing it until it became as small as a ping pong ball.
Although it looks harmless and small. This white ball is pure ice and snow energy that Aoi concentrated on one point. If it explodes, an entire country might be covered in frost for a whole year.
Fein looked at this with amazement, he couldn't believe how Aoi manage to create this. Creating the white ball needs one to have precise control of their powers. Even Fein doesn't know how much control is needed.
"You have done a good job!" Fein made a thumbs up and smile at Aoi.
Aoi was happy at Fein's compliment that she unconsciously raised her feathery chest.
Sofia was amused at her partner's behavior but didn't comment on it.
Fein finally turned his head at Sofia. "It's your turn"
Sofia closed her eyes and followed Fein's instructions without hesitation. In her hands, a black spear made of dark energy gradually condensed. After the spear has formed, it exuded a black mist that contains a gloomy feeling. Seeing the energy spear has reached the maximum limit, she skillfully infused all the blood energy she can. Sofia's complexion became paler, as she staggered slightly after consuming her energy reserves to produce the Aiki spear.
The spear was deep purple, the color was darker than the first and second time she used it. The space around the purple was being distorted visibly. This is the power of destruction, even Fein felt palpitations just by being near it.
Sofia looked at him and asked, curiosity was apparent in her voice. "So what's next?"
Fein looked at the small white ping pong ball, the lightning that violently tore the sky apart, and now at the destruction spear that was distorting the space due to its unstable energy.
He took and deep breath and looked at his companions. "Hit me with it"
Voli, Aoi, and Sofia were stunned as if they didn't heard anything and just look at him blankly.
Sofia asked again to confirm if what she heard was wrong. "What did you say?"
"Hit me with it, this is the only way we can defeat the Centipede because no matter what we try, we can't do anything at the temperature of the fire. Don't worry I know what I'm doing."
Fein looked serious. He had already considered it very carefully. He would use Ghecko Substitution to replace the Centipede's position.
"What!? Are you going crazy!??" Sofia shouted in high pitched voice.
Looking at Sofia's outburst, Fein was touched. Because he knew that this girl was only worried about his safety. Voli and Aoi also looked at him with hesitation.
Realizing that she was out of line, Sofia calmed down and apologized, and decided to suggest other things.
"Sorry, I was just unexpected of you... Why do you need to do this? Can't we just run away? the Centipede won't find us if we tried. The desert is so big..."
Fein shook his head, he had already considered this. "The only way to advance to other areas is the route of Desert. I bet this Centipede's hatred for us was now skyrocketing that it would chase us just for revenge, the desert is its territory. It has a high probability of finding us. And I don't like the feeling of danger chasing my back even if the possibility is small. You have to remember this Sofia... When there's a threat you can dispose of, you have to do it quickly."
This is his style of doing things, he would eliminate a budding threat when it's within his capabilities.
"Of course, I won't do things without a certain assurance. I wouldn't want to joke with my life."
Fein chuckled to ease the mood.
