The flames whipped through the woods, and though they didn't shatter the trees like what one might expect, they ignited everything they touched, painting everything that's green in a vivid red and orange.
Fire was a human's worst enemy. Even more so for a Genome whose body is built to withstand extreme cold, with very little resistance to high temperatures. Because of that, Cryonis's first reaction was to get out of the burning forest. Of course, that proved to be futile right away as the flame torrent followed him to the grass plain.
Cryonis activated his ability the instant his foot touched the ground. Small jagged icicles formed at the tip of his boot, their size increasing as a layer of frost spread through the surroundings. A second later, they turned into massive pillars that blocked the torrent of flames, splitting it apart before it could reach the cold hero.
