Enigma

𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖊𝖗 VII

"Your majesty, teleport me to the Gorge of Death."

Everyone in the room widen their eyes at Kim's words. Even the stoic Vicross.

Kim, oblivious to everyone's reaction, focused solely on his own thoughts.

The king can't help but frown at the lady's words, he thinks he might have heard it wrong or the lady will rephrase her words. However, she only looks at him with certainty. The king can't find a reason in teleporting her where the battle in currently happening.

Alberu glances at the orb before turning to Kim. Although, thinking of the events earlier. She doesn't seem like someone who will say those words on a whim, she must have something under her sleeves.

"Lady, do you understand what you had said just now?" Alberu eyed the lady who still appeared calm despite the urgency of the situation.

"The fire." Kim uttered and added in a calm manner. "It is not likely to spread throughout the area, and more likely to stop at a certain area."

Alberu frowns in confusion. "What do you mean?"

Alberu looks at Kim's calm face and slowly also started to calm his panicked mind. It's not like him to openly panic, but thinking of receiving another defeat frustrates him. Seeing the lady currently calm made him unknowingly feel at ease. Alberu fix his expression and added.

"Meaning it's different kind of fire?"

Kim turns to Alver.

'Is it made with magic?' That doesn't seem to be it.

"Something that could not be put out by magic..?" Alberu mumbles to himself but is heard by the others.

"That's right, your majesty." Kim nodded at Alberu's words.

"And you have something that can remove the fire?" Alberu eyed Kim first before doubly continuing his words, making Kim smirk. Alberu from this world also understand his intentions quite easily.

"That's right." Kim pointed at the fire in the orb. "If you send me there. I will take out the fire."

'Are we going to beat someone up again?' The sky eating water said enthusiastically.

'Kahahaha! This will be fun!' The fire of destruction cackled.

Alberu bit his lips at Kim's words, who mentioned that she could take out the fire. He remembered that she only had a shield power, which he concluded was an ancient power because he couldn't feel any mana from her. 'How will she even do that when she's not a mage?'

'Could it be... another ancient power?' Alberu frowned at his own thoughts. No way, it was impossible for a person to have more than one ancient power. Even if they did, they would die instantly.

"Whether she goes or not, I should join the battle," Vicross interjected, his gaze dark and fixed on the orb where Syrem and Choi Han could be seen. "I should be able to slow down the enemies a bit."

Blue eyes and reddish-brown eyes turned to Vicross.

Alberu agreed with Vicross's words, he then turns his gaze back to Kim

'It should not be a problem if Vicross is brought there, along with the lady.'

Alberu purses his lips and let out a tired sigh. The situation on the other side is dire and could worsen in a matter of moments. Furthermore, the enemy doesn't seem to care on about their allies and is just letting them die.

'If this continues, the whole gorge of death might get burned. Just like at the Southern Jungle.' For now, Alberu will use what there is. The goal here right now is to minimize the damages they'll receive.
