Azaroth gritted his teeth. The fire platform was heavy and they were hardly holding it with one hand, worse, some of them had used too much essence already and they were already low on it.
The fire above their head licked at them, the heat shimmering and wavering, bore down on them. The only thing protecting them was their essence and that was running low.
"What is this? How can fire be so heavy?" Alex breathed hard, his mouth opened as sweat covered his face.
"Idiot! Look, this isn't a normal fire. Kael isn't holding back." Stallus said at the back with Azaroth since they were both shorter than Catena and Alex who stayed in front.
And she was right, the fire platform was not a normal fire, it was as if the fire was given form. It was hot red and molten like liquid fire. Azaroth didn't want to think about the damage it would cause if they allowed it to slam into them.
