Chapter 2951 White Fire
"What the h.e.l.l is this?" asked the old snake in horror seeing the white thing, "Fire," I replied as I had finally released it.
This is white fire, which I got a few years ago in ruin, which exploded right after.
It is an extremely powerful fire that even suppression of the world was not able to destroy. The only reason I was even able to get it was the hidden being; without it, I would be burned by it without even touching it.
Ashlyn liked this fire; she bathed in it; till now, I was not suicidal enough to try, but now, the circ.u.mstances have forced me.
It is not a tiny wisp of fire I had released, but a goblet.
I want to leave nothing to chance; the Grimms, like old snakes, have many ways they might even be able to survive these impossible conditions, so it is better for me not to hold back.
As the white fire came out of my core, it latched on the dust cloud that was coming at my core from all directions, and as I expected, it began to burn it.
It was already beginning to spread through the formation; within a second, it had spread through 20% of my body and rapidly spread further.
In a couple of seconds, it will cover my whole body.
The divine energy and the above-the-limit thing seemed to be some kind of kerosine to it; it was spreading through them rapidly.
I thought that given its power, they could resist, but there seemed to be no resisting, just burning.
"Ahhhhhhh…."
I screamed in pain as the fire spread through half of my body; it was not just me that was screaming, but also the Grimm, which is likely why my throat seemed to be working.
The pain is immense, as the white fire is not only burning the divine energy and above the limit element but also my body and soul with it.
It is more painful than I had thought, but there is nothing I can do about it. Once the fire got out, there was nothing I could do about it, especially when there were these flammable things for it to burn.
Soon, the fire covered me whole, and that is when it began to blaze truly.
It begins to burn the divine energy and thing above the limit. It seemed to purify then, as I could see the drops dripping down through it.
It begins to go deeper and inside me, to the particles of an old snake, which are covered in dense divine energy and above the limit element, but it is burning through that and watching its progress; it won"t take long for it to reach the deepest particles.
When the flood of divine energy came, it filled the particles, and the b.a.s.t.a.r.d took them deeper into me, to the deepest; I wish it hadn"t.
If it had not reached the deepest part of me; I might have had the tiniest chance of surviving, but seeing how it had reached the deepest part of me; that it had merged with me, there is no way I would be able to survive it.
It took the fire merely a few seconds to burn through the humongous amount of divine energy and above the limit element to reach the particles or, should I say, the old snake.
"I will not die easily, Zaar; I will have you, and this fire wouldn"t be able to stop me," said the old snake.
It couldn"t help but surprise me; there was nothing that could stop the fire; it had burned through the divine energy and even the above the limit element.
So, it is likely an empty boast.
Hun!
A moment later, I found out it might not be an empty boast when I saw the thing coming out of its particles.
I don"t know what it is, but it is a blackish brown and contains immense vitality in it, and there is also an earthly element in it.
The thing that made me most surprised is the level of wrongness in it.
I begin to hate it just looking at it.
It came out of the particles of the old snake and covered it fully before the white fire descended on it.
The white fire covered it, unlike the divine energy and above the limit element. It did not seem to burn it.
"I told you, Zaar, I will not die; this fire of yours would be spent, and then I will have you, including the secrets you are hiding in that core of yours," said the old snake with the detestable laugh.
"Don"t be happy so early, old snake; the fire is still burning," I said; there was not even a hint of worry on my face.
The white fire is struggling against the things that are giving me a sense of wrongness, but it is still burning, and even if it is spent, I will bring more, and that will be even more powerful and in greater quant.i.ty.
I have used one of the weakest parts of white fire; in the center, there is fire so strong that it would not take even a fraction of a second for it to vaporize me.
I could not control that fire or bring it out, but I don"t think I will require that strong fire. The one I could bring out would be enough to burn the old snake and me to the ashes.
Currently, I am just planning to wait and watch; I could bring out the fire, but I didn"t. The pain from this fire was already so overwhelming, giving me such a pain that I could barely think through it.
Bringing even stronger fire will burn my sanity away, and I like to be sane when I die; I at least deserve that.
Seconds pa.s.sed, and it did not feel like the fire could burn the wrong thing; it made me frustrated as I might need to bring out that strong fire, even when I didn"t want to.
"See that, Zaar; you will not be able to stop me; very soon, I will consume you," said the old snake and laughed while I just watched.
A few more seconds pa.s.sed when my emotions finally leaped up; as faint dark smoke began to come out, things covering the particles and rapidly, the smoke grew denser while the colorless substance dripped from them.
The air of substance had shocked me, but I had no time, as I looked coating over particles, which now had caught fire.
"NOOOO!"
The old snake roared loudly in unwillingness and shock as the thing which it is counting on its defense began to burn.
Drip Drip Drip
Just like the divine, a substance begins to drip from it as it burns, and as a second pa.s.sed, the fire got more intense, and the dripping of substance too intensified.
If I had any chance of survival, I would have been very interested in it, but I do not. I have seen the method; it will take me with it; even with the aid of fire, I will not survive.
I am very sure of it, which is why I did not even entertain the thought and focused my all on taking the old snake with me.
Its survival would be very dangerous, especially if it is able to consume me.
