As I got closer to Kyle, I rose my hand and activated the SS rank skill [Volcanic Eruption]. Kyle looked up and saw a massive volcano open up above her and she barely had time to react before she was blasted with a large wave of magma, sending her to the ground.
Kyle burst out from the magma like a beacon of light and I quickly commanded the arcane bird to move out of the way as I saw her charging straight for me! She slammed into the arcane bird with a loud shout and she dragged the both of us along as she crashed into the ground a far distance from where we started. The desert was already on fire at various places and I could sense many of the monsters converging on our position due to all the fighting.
I groaned as I got up from the ground and I saw Kyle getting up as well. The arcane bird was still on the ground and I knew that the hit must've disoriented it. It will take a few minutes for it to come back to its senses.
