"What will I get there? Stories about what happened to all the races in the universe or what?" I asked myself this, while closing the page.
And then I turned my attention towards that damn stubborn beast.
"I won't sit idle and watch you die slowly like this," I took out my pillar, and kept summoning shields again. The shields proved to be the only thing working over this dude, and at this moment, any help was needed to bring it down.
I lost count on how many shields I kept summoning. The world out there stopped flaring in bright light long hours ago, and only bright purple fire kept dancing and covering everything in the world till horizon.
Nothing would survive this fire, not even those damn Exomachines. Nothing would stop me from getting my chariot back.
The fire rose high, high enough to cover at least one mile in height. I couldn't tell or see anything happening down there, but after the announcement came, I lost my patience and decided to go and check on my chariot.
Of course trying to get through the fire would be futile. I thought about taking out my Exomachines and letting them work and secure my travel there. Yet when I recalled how my cube got sealed, I couldn't help but inwardly sigh.
"Come back!" I got only one way to do it, which was by calling my chariot back. Yet nothing happened, and that made me more restless and worried about it.
"Screw it! I wouldn't stay here anymore and watch my girl getting barbecued like this!" After a few more hours, and many more failed attempts, I finally lost my cool and decided to go out there and try to get through my fire.
To fight a fire, I got to use a fire of my own. I went high up in the air, above the level of this fire, and then went outside.
The moment I did, I felt how hot it was. The first thing I did was to use my board and control gravity around.
The entire world got crushed under the new gravity. I tested it once before, and my fire got affected by my board's gravity.
I had no way to use lots of bones like before, so I just took bones out, threw them in the air, while controlling my energy and absorbed them fast.
This limited how much bones I could use at the same time. But it was enough to affect gravity in a tens of miles radius area, including the place that got my chariot.
The fire that was previously acting wild started to get pressured. It looked as if it got flattened by a heavy subject or something, ending up with a flat surface that wasn't higher than tens of metres off the ground.
And by this, I finally managed to see my chariot.
"Damn! That damn beast… Those damn fiends… They didn't bring the monster to pressure my chariot! But to just protect the forces inside its body from the fire.
Those friends… They anticipated my response correctly, and planned everything based on my use of the bone.
When the fire got pressured by the gravity field, I could see my chariot and that monster. The monster that looked translucent before was now showing off its pale yellow body, surrounding the chariot like a colossal ball that separated what was inside from the fire outside.
It engulfed my chariot, and down in its body there were lots of weird looking races that tried to tear down my chariot's shield.
I spotted lots of tentacles, each came out from a single dark brown ball with wrinkles like the skin of an old man. They got one elliptical eye in the middle, with three up to nine tentacles coming out from these.
Each tentacle ended up with three finger-like endings, holding weird looking hammers with short handles, and emitting sparkles of fire and lightning of different lights when they hit the shield of my chariot.
They kept hammering and damaging my baby's shield non-stop. Each strike left behind a streak of dancing lightning and fire, eating away part of my baby's shield.
I got to feel surprised and quite angry about all this. If I didn't come, take the risk, and preferred to stay behind and wait for the fire to die down, then by this time my chariot would be gone.
I now realised why my pillar's shields failed to pressure that jerk. I saw it suck in my fire, seemingly strengthening itself and replenishing the lost energy inside.
This… This was bad! And luckily for me, I got to see all this at the right time.
"Stay your hands away from my damn chariot!" I roared in rage, took out my glaive and held it with my right arm, then headed directly towards that damn ball looking beast, smashing my glaive with everything I got.
The glaive this time didn't end up the same. It didn't give me the feelin it went through something jelly and soft.
Instead, an earth shattering clang appeared. The glaive left a deep indentation upon that monster, enough to let the fire gush inside its body for the first time ever.
And then I spotted two weird things happening at the same time.
First the fire started to burn away its body as I expected. But the moment that beast trembled faintly, all this changed.
It looked as if the beast got steroids not fire, and started to repair all the damage my glaive and fire did at a fast rate. I watched new pale yellow flesh expand and merge, covering up the small gulf created by my glaive, aiming to end up things to what it was before my glaive hit.
"Not a chance!" It was awesome indeed, if this monster worked under me and not against me. I was surprised for a few seconds, before I started to madly move my glaive around.
