The room shakes as the Magma Spirit finish roaring, its many tentacles stop mid-way through their current action. With a weird jerk, the tentacles started to move to attack Mors. The Magma Spirit recognizes the danger that is Mors, that attack has the potential of killing it. For the moment it cools down and becomes stone, it knows it would die.
"Oh no, you don't!"
Ile aims his costume-made rifle at the Magma Spirit. The bullet flies out of the musket barrel, using one of his skills. He adds more of his Qi into the flying bullet. The bullet hits one of the tentacles of the Magma Spirit. As the bullet digs into the magma tentacle, the Qi inside of it interacts with the special gunpowder inside the bullet.
The bullet was exposed inside of the tentacle. Leaving behind a large wound as large chunks of hot magma flew everywhere. Girina with her dual axes rushed towards the Magma Spirit, infusing her Qi into the axes as she jumps up. She launches her axes at the Magma Spirit. The axes coated with her Qi flew into the Magma Spirit.
Coming out from the other side as the axes fly towards her extended hands. Bujir reaches the edge of the magma lake as he strikes his axe into the stone ground beneath his feet. Channeling his Qi into the ground he makes large spikes of earth appear and impaled the Magma Spirit body.
Seche made countless ice swords and send them to attack the magma tentacles. While Okin used his meteor hammer started to attack and take away large chunks of magma out of the Magma Spirit body. The attack of the Dwarfs was slowly starting to damage the Magma Spirt. But it did not stop as all of its tentacles reach Mor's location.
Mors did not have enough time to dodge the attack from the Magma Spirit, after all, they are two stages apart. So, he did the one thing he could think of, he channels all of his once again. His second dantia working at maximum overdrive to replenish his Qi. Sweat built up on his face, he felt weaker and slower. As mental stress started to pile up in his mind.
The signs of Qi depletion started to show themselves again. Mors extends out his right hand, and the blue Spirit Crystal he is holding starts to glow a blue light. Making the Magma Spirit anxious as his tentacles attack Mors. Mors and the blue light became burry in a pile of stone and tentacles.
"No! Someone gets doe-"
But before Okin could speak, a large explosion happened where Mors once stood. As pure blue color light started to pierce the magma tentacles. The cold white mist spread from the cracks as the tentacles started to harden into stone. The Magma Spirit roars in anger and pain. A painful bone-chilling cold started to spread across his body, lowing his overall temperature.
Everyone thought that was Mor's last hurrah before dying. But they were proven wrong as countless yellow copies of Mors started to appear once again. Attacking the Magma Spirit with all of their strength. The Dwarf seeing this knew that Mors is still alive. As they continue to attack the now tentacle-less Magma Spirit.
The Spirit annoyed by these small flies grew more tentacles from its back. This time going past six and having a total of 20 tentacles decorating his back. The tentacles started to attack Mor's copies and the Dwarfs. But it become incredibly hard to stay alive when multiple fast-moving tentacles were attacking you every second.
Not giving them a second to breathe, Okin screamed at the top of his lungs as he could not dodge a tentacle. The hot magma hit the left side of his face. The skin started to peel off, raveling its pure red muscles beneath it. Any blood that came out was evaporated at a frightening speed. Thankfully his first dantia started working regenerating the lost skin. While the skin will heal back, it won't be the same as before.
"Okin! Retreat from here! Ming must be gathering more Qi for the final attack!"
Bujir said to the injured Okin, who nodded his head. Leaving the room as fast as possible while dodging the Magma Spirit attacks. More yellow copies of Mors appear to take his place and distract the Magma Spirit. The Dwarf could not hold their own for more than one minute even with Mor's summons.
But as the stone tentacles started to break into pieces, a wounded Mors made his appearance. He looks like a mess, thankfully his amazing armor took most of the damage from that attack. But the effects of letting the blue Spirit Crystal explode next to his body and tanking the magma tentacles were visible for all to see.
Mors right hand had lost all of its skin, showing its red muscles. The hand was shaking as pieces of ice were embedded deep into the red muscle. His hair had burned off, leaving his scalp exposed. Like his hand, he lost most of the skin on his neck and head. Mors is feeling so much pain that he wishes for nothing more than to lie down and rest.
But he can't do that! He must get the Dwarf to help out the Elves! He must help his wife!
"AH!!!!!! All of you run! I am taking this Spirit down with me!"
Mors said to the Dwarfs as he runs towards the Magma Spirit, two [Spirit Ice Grandes] in each of his hands. Shining with bright blue light and seconds away from exploding. During the downtime he had, he drank 5 Qi potions. Using 100 points to buy the potions.
Giving all of his Qi to each of the Spirit Crystals. The Dwarf seeing what Mors was doing could not help but be surprised. This human is really going to sacrifice himself to help out strangers? The Dwarf's hearts were moved, as they all turned tails and started to run away from the Magma Spirit.
"You better survive! We will wait for you outside!"
Said Girina, she knew that it was very unlike that Mors will survive this. But is better to have hope that to lose it. Mor's smile as he whispers to himself.
"I will"
The Magma Spirit could care less about the running Dwarf. The charging Mors is the most dangerous induvial here.
'Die!!!'
The spirit screams in his all mind as he sends all his tentacles to attack Mors. A cheeky smile on Mors face(covered by the black mask), as he jumps up and throws all of the Spirit Crystals at the upcoming magma tentacles. The blue cube Spirit Crystal touches the tip of one of the magma tentacles. As Qi meets Qi, the Spirit Crystal explodes. Its blue light covers Mors and the Magma Spirit completely.
But as one Spirit Crystal is activated, the other three were soon to follow. As the cold blue light covers the entire cave room. The Dwarf continues to run, ignoring the moment of silence. But soon a large deafening explosion shook the entire cave system. Enough that a mini earthquake happens, as parts of the cave system started to collapse in on themselves.
Okin who is the first on the line, turn his head for a second and saw the upcoming ice spikes that were coming toward them.
"Shit! Run faster!"
Okin said to the rest of the group, pushing them to run faster. Their muscles scream in pain as they try to outrun the cave-in and the ice spikes. Soon an opening shows itself at the very end, the entrance to one of the outposts they clear before finding the Magma Spirit. Okin jumps in into the room, and the other Dwarfs soon follow.
They hit the stone floor with a thud, as the entrance is blocked off by large rocks. Blue cold ice spikes poking out from between the cracks. The Dwarf breathes in as they give out a sigh of relief.
"He is gone…there is no way he can survive that"
Bujir said while looking at the seal-off entrance, they all knew that Mors has lost his life for real this time. For there is no way that he can survive a cave-in.
"What a unique human…"
"Indeed, we must do a proper ritual for his funeral once we reach the settlement. He deserves as much"
"All in favor raise your hand"
For the third time ever, all the Dwarf agree on the same topic.
"All in favor of sending as many forces as possible to the Elfs raise your hands"
For the fourth time ever, all the Dwarf agree on the same topic. With solemn hearts, they stood up and started their journey back to the settlement. Since they won't be fighting any monsters on the way there, it would only take one day to reach the settlement. As Mors had all of their supplies they could not take their sweet time getting there.
Soon a day passes as the Dwarf reach the outskirts of their settlement. Someone must have spotted them as they sound the bell and the large metal doors started to open up. As the gates open up a crowd of people stood to greet them. Normally from this distance, it would be hard to make out the individual faces and features.
But amongst the crowd stood one male, with a horribly wounded body hanging to dear life by a tread. The male is wearing a red dress with a demon in it, while the dress has seen better days, it now covers in the dirt, ice, and blood. In his left hand, which is completely bandaged up is a black mask. As the Dwarf see Mor's face, a large smile on his face as spoke.
Clear enough that the Dwarf mater crafters were able to read his lips.
"You guys sure made me wait"
"…You fucking bastard human!"
Okin scream at the top of his lungs. Angry, but happy at the same time. Mors had survived, after all, he had a teleportation item. But he can replace that later on.
