Before Girsha could answer a gust of wind suddenly hit her and Lory's reflexes dodged, but she didn't have time to find out what was attacking her because the attacks were swift and didn't stop so Lory had no other choice but to move from side to side dodging the attacks.
Then suddenly the attack came simultaneously from all sides then Lory crossed her arms over her head, soon after a transparent shield enveloped her like a dome, and then a cracking sound was suddenly heard but then the attack suddenly stopped and everything went silent Lory slowly lowered her arm, Lory looked around her and realized that she was surrounded by sharp stone shards that pierced into the ground.
[Lory don't remove your barrier, yet!] Girsha hastily reminded her because he was afraid that the same thing would happen to Lory again.
[Where did all this come from? Did you feel something old bird?] Lory thought beast instincts were sharper than humans especially Girsha so he might be able to pick up on something she didn't feel.
Unfortunately, Girsha didn't have a clue either, the bird shook his head [No I don't feel, human, beast, Little Demon, or something alike….but it wasn't a 'Qi' or 'mana' as well, I don't know how to describe it...it felt more like an emotion..?] Girsha last words was hinted with uncertainty then he tries to explain again: [This emotion is too thick, it's suffocating… I've never felt such an overwhelming emotion like this before]
[What emotion?] Lory frowned in confusion.
Girsha's voice deepened [Rage...]
The blazing fire suddenly came out of nowhere then engulfed her, luckily Lory had not put down her barrier, yet and at the same time Girsha merged with Lory soon after giant white wings appear and embraced Lory inside while the sea of fire surrounded her, Lory had never felt such intense heat.
Lory didn't just stand still she hit the ground with her palm and a wall of ice emerged from the ground and then surround her, as a result, it blocked the glaring fire from her.
[Lory, that fire...] Girsha's voice was a mixture of shock and confusion.
Lory inhaled a sharp breath then she hissed [Is an Immortal flame...]
As soon as Lory's ice wall melted and turned into water droplets, Lory summoned a sword from his ring then he bit her finger and wrote runes on the surface of the sword and the sword glowed with purple light.
Combining weapon enhancement with blood spells would definitely make any ordinary weapons hundreds of times more powerful and the weapons made by Zhao Li Xin are anything else but ordinary.
'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',
[Lory, it's coming!] Girsha warns her.
Lory moves slowly while holding her sword tightly, her eyes staring warily at the sea of fire in front of her a moment later from the blazing fire a figure engulf with fire appears however, judging from the creature's shape it looks like a man but he can see the creature features of the creature because its whole body enshrouded with flame.
[Girsha, have you ever seen anything like that?] Lory stares at the creatures in amazement.
[No, never!] Girsha becomes nervous as well.
The creature then swung its arms and the fire flashed towards Lory quickly, Lory raised her hand and the fire hit the barrier but the creature unleashed an attack that was the same but more ferocious, Lory also had no choice but to dodge it.
but continuing to dodge was useless she had to get close to the creature to attack him.
[Old birdie, don't you think we need to make a big wind?!] Lory subconsciously raised her voice from the rush of adrenaline.
[Summon and my wind will come!] Girsha answered proudly.
Lory snickers then begin to chant then swings her sword vertically creating a gust of wind that split the sea of fire in front of her like a 'red sea'
Taking that opportunity Lory lunged toward the fire creature and then thrust her sword at the creature's body, unexpectedly Lory's sword past the creature's body, turn out the creature didn't have a solid body.
Face to face with the creature in close contact Lory could hear the fire sizzling soon she was startled by the burning sensation in his skin luckily Girsha's wings quickly protect her from further injury.
Knowing her attack failed lory then take a long jump into the air in order to get away from the heat but once again the creature's flames flashed toward her as if chasing her.
Lory hastily created a barrier to block the attack, over and over again she got hit until she was pushed to the ground and Lory fell to her knees.
[Lory are you okay!] Girsha asked worriedly.
[I'm fine, how about you?] Lory hoped Grisha was hurt from being hurt.
As expected, Girsha then grumbled in annoyance [It burned the tips of my wings but it's okay]
How could it be 'nothing' there wasn't much power in the world that could hurt the 'first kind' especially when Girsha was in his full power and Girsha also knew about it but he was too proud to admit it or maybe he was taken aback by it.
[Lory, the fire creature is similar to Zhao Li Xin] Girsha's voice fills with concern, the golden fire dance in front of them looks way too familiar it was unsettling.
[Yes, but is not Zhao Li Xin] Lory answered without a shred of doubt, cause Zhao Li Xin will never hurt her no matter what, and she knows for certain.
[Then what is that thing?] Girsha's eyes bored at the fiery creatures.
[Don't know, and it seems the creature eager for conversation either…] Lory clicked her tongue then waves her hands, and the ice thorn burst from the ground and run towards the creature but it turn to mist before it can get close to the creatures, Lory watch it and sighed, she knows it won't be that easy.
The monster swung its arms and a giant sharp fire blade crushed down upon Lory fast and hard, Lory rolled to the side but the creature swung its other hand and another huge fire blade hit her again but this time Lory held it back with Lucicent's barrier before slide sideways and take a long leap and a second later the wings on her back spread then Lory flew into the air she started chanting a wind spell and her purplish eyes shone like stars.
Lory swung her sword into the cave and the ceiling of the cave collapsed, raining down on the creature for a while the sea of fire below subsided slightly, but that was not enough. Lory then cast another spell and thousand of water droplets appeared from above and gather around her, once lory open her palms the water droplet poured down like rain.
Soon the sea of fire below her gradually subsided, Lory didn't cheer causing the creatures to enrage only increasing, Lory chanted another spell and her eyes shone even brighter soon after the temperature in the cave dropped to a minus point and at the same time Lory let out a long exhaled and white smoke escaped her pale lips.

As the ground below slowly froze and was covered in ice, the fire creature sensed an approaching threat while screaming furiously. The fire tried to fight the ice Lory but she refused to back down he gritted his teeth and the ice started to devour the smoldering fire leaving gray smoke seeping into the air and the ice rushing to cover almost the entire cave and approaching the creature. quickly.
The creature did not remain silent he continued to fight against the freezing ice that tried to devour him.
Lory didn't want to lose she kept pushing through her limit causing her body to shake profusely and blood to trickle from the side of her pale lips.
[Lory, can you handle it?] Girsha could feel Lory's mana being drained which meant it would endanger her life if she continued.
[I'm fine! just a little bit…more] she clenched her jaw trying to ignore the growing pain inside her.
the fire creature repeatedly hit the ice that climb on him however the ice keep on coming incessantly like a hungry beast the ice begin to devour the flame on the creature until it completely swallowed the whole creature leaving a giant ice form in the middle of the cave, Lory then lunged at the creature like a bullet she aimed her sword at the frozen figures not long after the sound Ice shatters echoed on the air as Lory's body pierced through the shattered ice in slow motion.
Lory then lands on the ground with her knees, she lowers her head and panting heavily while leaning on her sword tiredly.
Lory's bottom eventually plopped to the ground and the sword fell beside her, her eyelids closed as she let out a long sigh, then slowly her eyes opened she then cast her gaze at the frozen ground covered with white-transparent ice that she left behind [That...way too close]
Girsha appeared beside her and then perch on Lory's shoulder
[You start making it as a habit, you know..] Girsha still finds a way to reproach her, but then he looks at her with a worried look [How are you, anyway?]
[exhaustd] Lory answered bluntly.
[Yeah, it will take a few hours before you recover your mana] Girsha narrowed her eyes while examining Lory's condition.
Too bad there's no potion to recover mana, that's why Lory is at a disadvantage, hopefully, they don't run into another strong enemy for a while.
Lory knew the bird was starting to worry again even though he wasn't wrong but Lory brushed it off, saying: [I'll be fine, I just need to lie down for five minutes]
Suddenly the ground shook and the temperature rose abnormally causing the ice to crack and melt.
Lory and Girsha exchanged glances then the fire in the middle of the cave caught their attention.
As time went on the fire grew bigger and the entire ice that once covered the ground was again covered by a sea of ??fire and the creature reappeared bigger and stronger.
Lory's eyes widen and she shouted in disbelief [Are you fucki*g kidding me!]
