With his shield shattered, Ishit found himself in a perilous situation. Alarm bells chimed in his mind; his pores stood on their ends. The thread-like blazing tongue of the salamander came and pierced his chest.
Or at least it looked like that. Karuvaki, Guha, Nadani and Esha screamed out.
However, the next instant they were dumbfounded just like Layla.
Before their enlarged eyes, Ishit's chest melted away like an Ice block. And as soon as the twatvajivi's tongue got past it, the chest materialized again. His tunic had long been burnt to ashes by the blazing flames of the tongue. So they could see his bright red spot on his chest.
This little stunt drained Ishit's spirit. He found his legs going jelly. However it was not time to pay attention to it. He was still in danger. He mustered all the remaining spirit and turned it into a water ball.
