53 Little plum, Stop setting me on fire! Part4

Oblivious to the commotion and unrest she had caused, Tang Yue was still nimbly dancing to the tune of the deadly flames, just barely alive and breathing.

As she skillfully side-stepped and dodged an incoming flame burst, part of her arm got caught in the crossfire and sizzled.

ZZZZT

And another patch of her skin fell to the ground, smoking and burnt to a crisp.

Tang Yue sighed but didn't dare to get sloppy.

Even though her mind and body were already pushed to their limits, she needed to keep going.

Her entire body was covered with burn marks from head to toe, looking extremely painful.

In fact, she was just a few burns away from medium rare and some more away from fully cooked!

But unfortunately, she had to keep going.

She had no other choice. She had no idea how to get out of this damned array or no idea how the actual binding occurred.

It was as if someone threw her into a roiling turbulent river and expected her to learn to swim for her survival on her own.

It was indeed a teaching method, but only something a master from hell would use!

What a sadistic bastard?! Tang Yue cursed the mad man.

She silently braved herself and took a step forward.

At the outer edge of the fire array, the flame bursts were extremely frequent but the burn itself was not very deadly.

With Tang Yue's heat resistance constantly improving, she was somewhat able to handle this area and stay alive without procuring many life-threatening injuries.

But the inner areas were different.

The flame bursts were less frequent but more deadly.

She could just stay safely in the outer areas but then how the hell was she supposed to break out of the array?

So she had no other choice but to keep moving inward.

The spot where Tang Yue lingered around right now had only sporadic bursts of flames but they were extremely deadly.

These bursts were not for the purpose of increasing her resistance. That she was sure of.

Because even one mistake could prove unforgivably fatal.

As Tang Yue gritted her teeth and cautiously stepped deeper and deeper into the fire array, evading the flames of hell, she was finally able to catch a glimpse of the little blob again.

And the next instant, Tang Yue's eyes widened as if she had seen a monster! that too something worse than her master!!

The little thing who initially looked like it was excited to meet her and cutely jumped up and down was actually the real reason for her misery!!

The seemingly cute little blob was the real culprit!!

Several bursts of flames emerged from the small blob as if they were its wings and disappeared into the weird non-existence ground beneath them.

And when these flames emerged back up, they all sort of popped out from where Tang Yue was standing.

The whole thing was a damned endless cycle!

Tang Yue had initially been very excited about binding with the elemental youngling.

Maybe partly because it would increase her power by leaps and bounds, but also because she could finally have a real companion in her life.

But now all that seemed futile.

It looked like the damned thing simply wanted to blast her into nothingness.

"Why? Why do you hate me already?" Tang Yue shouted exasperatedly with her hoarse voice.

And to her surprise, the small blob was reacting to her voice.

The little blob didn't have a face but she could tell that it was reacting to her.

Ollu Ollu…

It made some weird noises and started vibrating even more intensely.

Tang Yue relaxed a bit.

Maybe the cutie was lost after all and it just needed her to come closer to the center?

"Little plum, stop setting me on fire!" She shouted with warmth and tenderness in her voice.

But boy was she wrong…

The bursts suddenly intensified with random spurts of flame blasting out in all directions.

The entire array suddenly seemed like it was falling apart.

SHIT!! SHIT!! SHIT!!

Tang Yue yelped and jumped back a few steps in fear.

Sometimes getting noticed was not necessarily a good thing!

But before she could maneuver and escape the impending doom, a huge burst of flame erupted underneath her and finally succeeded in burning her to ashes.

And just as she slowly disappeared the blob as well stopped vibrating and vanished along with her.

Within a matter of seconds, the entire mysterious plane returned to its previous pitch-black darkness and a deadly silence enveloped the air.
