It wouldn’t take long to that fire engulf me, even Rock thorn Ape had stopped midway seeing fiery lion attacking. There is no chance of me dodging that fire, even if I activate lively wind, the fire will still engulf me and that time I will become a living target. My body would be engulfed in fire, which will definitely attack more monsters than normal and I even might attract more of fiery lions by running around bathed in fire. There is no problem surviving it fire, I have confidence in myself that I could come out of it relatively unharmed, the problem is what comes afterward. Surviving after is the problem, it will definitely attack me physically after its fire tide attack and that’s the main problem. I will have to use that chance when it will come to attack me physically. I thought all that in a fraction of second and after making a plan, I started its execution without delay. I move my sleeve toward my mouth to eat the pieces of treant heart while at the same time using my fire ability to cover my self in my silver fire, every inch of my body is covered in fire, leaving no corner behind. The fire tide touched me and I ate the pieces of treant same time, I don’t know how many pieces I ate but it is definitely more than five. Next second I overcome with feeling hot and cold and at the same time. Hot from the fiery lion’s power that is engulfing me and cold from the treants heart that I just ate. Both sensation clashes in body but I can feel the fire of engulfing me becoming stronger and the frigid cold sensation of Treants heart is drowned by them. My silver fire is covering my body but the fire of Fiery lion is very powerful and sticky quality into it, that it even started to burn my silver fire slowly. I started to feel hot all over my body, if I didn’t do anything soon, the fiery lion’s fire will burn all my fire and seep into my body after it overcomes the defense of the artifact, in my body. Without care for mana, I started to release more and more silver fire to fight off against the fire of fiery lion the heat I am feeling is elevated a little but I can feel fiery lions fire is covering my silver fire. I good thing this I have my whole body protection of Armor and Mask and very little fire could touch me but not for their protection, the fiery lion’s fire would engulf me more. I don’t know when I am fighting against the power of the fiery lion, Ashlyn inside me tried to sense it with all her heart. This is the first time since her birth she sensed the fire that barely comes under her eyes. Micheal and even Ashlyn herself don’t realize the real reason she hates eating the monster cores, once Micheal tried to feed her fiery lion core he will understand the real reason. It all looked much time had passed but there had been barely two seconds since I’ve received the attack of the fire tide. I tried to clear the fire around my mask to clear my vision, the monster will attack me at any second. I control the fire of fiery lion around me, not let it seep into my armor and then into my body and best way to do that let consume itself by burning my silver fire. I have no worry about mana as I ate more than five pieces earlier, my body filled to the brim with mana, as soon as I consume it, it will be filled again. "Roar!" ’Idiot.’ I said in my mind if it had not roared loudly, I would have taken little more time finding it and there would have a chance, it would have survived due to my unclear vision but now. That idiot disclosed its location, while its swiftly coming toward me but if I had already my attack prepared. ’’Fire Strike!" I shouted and launched an attack, it disnt even get the chance to dodge as firebolt had pierced its skill. No matter which grade of monster it is, as long as it is the same level as me, it is 99% dead as long as I air right. There are some anomalies like an azure monkey but it was peak and mid-level that dodge my firebolt, not initial level. ’’See!" I took a sharp breath in pain as I diverted all my attention on the attack that forgot that fiery lions power still covering my, now that little of it slips from the crack of my armor. It didn’t hurt me much as chilling power of Treant heart is still traveling my body. I scramble to control it and started to whet it with my sliver fire. If one looks at me from outside, they will seem me as living torch who has silver and yellow fire covering his body. Those with the keen eye can definitely tell I am in no danger despite being a living torch. I have to say the fire of fiery lion is one of the most lethal fire I’ve ever experienced, not only it is dense but it had a sticky quality to it that is very hard to remove. I had been trying to whet it for few seconds but hadn’t been successful yet, it will take me a minute more to consume the whole fire, I just hope, I won’t be an attack sneakily. I am just a few seconds away from putting away all the fire when I sensed something which me extremely happy. Leveling up! I am leveling up, seeing this sensation I know that I am leveling up. It was no mistake, with so much power of treant heart in my body, it shouldn’t take more than five minutes to level up. "Bang!" suddenly I felt life-threatening danger but before I could see which monster attack me, I flung away like a cannonball. I am not surprised by receiving such a sneak attack, I have seen many people suffering from it, I just hoped that I had received this attack after leveling up.
