In an aerial view, a red swarm of greater warrior ants can be seen striding pass the tall leaning tress rumbling them as they pass through it. From the other side, destruction can be seen as countless gaian termites eats away the trees they pass in a fast pace. They're like dirty white waves swarming every obstacles on their path leaving no trace but destruction.
Between the two force moving towards each other was a long deep canal filled with yellowish and brownish leaves and twigs. The canal has a width of 15 meters and 7 meters deep. The red force arrives first and the white force are approaching the canal fast too. Suddenly, a small flame can be seen flaring and it ignited the canal.
The flames spread fast on the canal in an odd way quickly creating a wall of flame the spread to the horizon. It seems like the flame itself was hungry as it also crawls out of the canal and hunts it's way to the leaves and twigs towards the dirty white wave.
Regardless of the wall of flame in front of them, the gaian termites continues forward mindlessly. The flame that strayed out of the canal finally ignited it's first victim. The poor termite screech in pain and wriggles left and right trying to extinguish the fire. But it's action did not work out, instead, it set every termites it touched in flame to. In just a minute, large group of termites was now burning and ugly screeches can be heard from them.
The rest of the termites seems not to understand how grave their situation continued their advance. Not minding their burning allies and the scorching heat, they trampled above them to advance just to ignite their self creating a proliferation of burning termites.

This thing should heal or remove any pain and illness in me, but instead, I felt something in my chest like it's burning! I think this is the core Edona was talking about. I didn't think about it before I was planning. And right now, I am floating and radiating a bright golden light! My scorching flame continues to engulf the front line of the termites and theirs a death every second. And that death was caused by me alone!
The greater warrior ants stands behind me and staring at me in awe. None of us thought about this! The scorching sensation is still in my chest. I fear that my core would overload and explode! Still, I am in control of my magic. I just found out earlier that not only I can produce flame but I can also control it. But I think it's more on commanding them than controlling.
The termites reached the fiery pit but they were half dead already as the strayed flame already spread widely ahead of the canal. Even though my flame shows a terrifying display of power, the termites still continues to move forward. What Edona told me was true then this termites are dumb! Maybe what they know was only to follow the command of their queen. The golden aura surrounding and empowering me still continues.
At this point, the greater ants won't be of use. I willed the flame in the pit to move on the other side and assault the enemy force like a tidal wave. The flame left the canal revealing the river of black ash. The surviving termites was ignited as the towering wall of flame passed them. I told the closest greater warrior ants to advance and trample the surviving termites agonising the flame eating away their bodies.
After a while, a screech as loud as a roar resounded from my back. Followed by countless roaring screech made the area trembles at the might of the ant's screech. Their giant figures passed under me at a fast pace. The first ant trampled it's first victim. It release another screech as dim golden lights covered it's body. It found new vigor to find another enemies to be trampled over by their heavy armored legs.
As the giant ants finished the suffering of the termites, the upsurge of energy entering my core lessened. Now, without the intense warmth in my core, I can finally focus more on my flames. The termites was just too many. My wall of flames was surely doing its job but it will took too long for their numbers to get diminish greatly. I ignited my body again and the golden light was dominated by the flame that looks like a fiery aura covering me. Even though I think this ability of mine is more on commanding it than controlling it, it wouldn't hurt for me to master it by my own hand.
I formed fiery orbs above me as big as the size of those greater warrior ant's head. It was filled with condensed flame energy that came from my core. I somehow able to grasp it signature feeling and now I can completely control and use it at Will. Around 20 fiery orbs now formed atop me. I'm not sure if I can launch it like a catapult so I will just make it hover their way onto beyond the enemies front line.
The fiery orbits past above the greater warrior ant's in an average pace. It also passes through the flame wall and was heading farther and deeper towards the enemy. As soon as I determined it's position to be good, I willed it to explode and devour those whose beneath the fiery orbs. Another loud screeches resounded ahead as the termites was ignited by my flame orbs and since they were crowded there, the flames spread faster as all the ignited ones wriggles and struggles to shake off my flame but instead, they ignited those whose closed to them in exchange.
The energy transmitted to me by every kill upsurged again. Still, my flames continues to encroach their numbers and the flame wall already reached in the what supposed to be the center of the enemies before leaving ignited gaian Termites whose already fated to burn to death or be flattened by the greater warrior ants.
After a few minutes, the flame I exploded on their center now reached their very back line igniting almost all of their numbers. They're numbers will slowly deteriorate by the flame and the trampling greater ants. With that, I can now rest easy. Although I really can't because the hotness in my core is still going on. I would say that I look like a divine beast myself with this golden lights that acts like a golden aura.
I wonder why do I have a concrete core anyways? I honestly revealed to Edona that I killed one crow and participated on killing a bird and a human knight but she didn't regard or considered it as a cause but still wonders how did I attain a concrete core. It worries me too of what will be the state of my core after this battle and the end of this upsurge amount of energy rushing to my core.
After a while, the golden lights covering my body dimmed and completely disappeared giving me now a stable feeling. From the horizon, I could see the greater warrior ants retreating back. It seems that every gaian Termites was completely exterminated. Still, I could not see any thing beyond but just the black ground emitting smokes. What would happen in this forest if we didn't stop those Termites.
'Ugh!' Something is wrong! Just right now i felt my core aching, it feels like my core wants to Break out of my body! I collapsed on the ground as my limbs can't handle the pressuring sensation of pain. Every inch of my body is aching! What is happening. My consciousness faded and the last thing I saw was the skies of black and grey clouds of smokes.
