"It's raining hot water!!" one of the werewolves screamed while sprinting for his life, his paws skidding against the trembling earth.
Azel genuinely had to stop himself from slapping the hunter across the back of the head.
"It's lava, not hot water!" Selene corrected sharply, her voice raised as she pumped more mana into the wind she was sustaining.
The sudden gust blasted them forward with greater speed. "I saw it in a book from the town… lava is hot enough to melt stone! It'll burn through people instantly if it touches them!"
Right on cue, a sheet of molten rock crashed against the barrier overhead with a violent hiss, splattering across the shimmering surface before dripping off in blazing chunks.
Each drop exploded into sparks when it hit the ground.
Behind them, Rudigas's scream echoed like someone strangling a flute.
"Did you all abandon me?!" the floating skull shrieked as he tumbled through the air, his cape flailing wildly behind him.
