Trapped II

The sudden change in Blaze's heart was sensed by Magma, who sighed heavily.

"Breeze was such a sweet and understanding woman. Even though it's admirable that you still hold on to your love, she would have wished for you to move on."

Blaze gritted his teeth as his brother once again attempted to convince him to find someone new. He hated it to the core and each time he just wanted to beat him to pulp. In the beginning, he did actually act out on his impulses, but has now grown more resistant to this.

"No, I won't. I promised her that in this lifetime there would only be room for her in my heart. And I will stick to my promise."

Magma felt true sympathy for his little brother. For an immortal to fall in love that hard, but to be robbed from the very source of love, was truly cruel.

Sometimes living forever was not a blessing as many foolish mortals might think. To die might sometimes be what one needed, no matter mortal or immortal.

Yet as the vice Clan Head of the Fire Clan, Blaze had many responsibilities that he couldn't just throw away. The Clan needed him, his brother needed him and his friends needed him. It would be selfish of him to leave this all behind and hence he never did.

However, Magma was truly afraid that if there would be one day when he could escape the burdens, his younger brother would take the easy way out. Therefore, he had tried different methods to make Blaze forget his sorrows.

Magma knew that by doing so was selfish and maybe respectless towards his deceased sister-in-law, but he really didn't want to lose his little brother.

Of course, they had to escape their confinement first. Otherwise, Blaze and even him would be doomed anyway.

He knew that his wife must have been noticed by now of their absence and would without doubt send reinforcement. Hopefully, their other clansmen that first came with them had managed to report back and could facilitate their search.

At the same time in a dark and humid cave, a huge Water Mirror was showing the sorry state of the two Fire High Gods. The observing Leviathan wore an evil smile as he felt alive for once.

"Magma, Blaze, who would have guessed that you would one day fall into my hands?" He started to laugh in delight, which scared the small Water Demon beside him.

His lord's mentality was always unstable and had killed many subordinates in a whim. Even if his lord seemed happy in one moment, he could kill in the next.

The demon thus unconsciously took a step back in fear. Before he even had the chance to react, water had morphed itself around his neck and distorted it in a weird angle.

Just like that, he was added to the collection of poor subordinates who died without even knowing why.

"So noisy." Leviathan snorted before he started to laugh crazily.
