The temperature rose and the area became red and orange themed.

  “Magma again? What in Kaledon’s name has Agnis been through! Giana, can I have a [Water Veil] please?” Vinny said as he patted his hair down, that had auto-ignited yet again.

  Giana danced and handed out [Water Veils].

  “Where is your cool dragon demeanor now eh?” Noelle grinned to Vinny’s annoyance.

  “But this might explain why he had no issues dragging us through that magma chamber. Remember Noelle?”

  “Yeah…I guess we lucked out on that, although going to a magma chamber was his idea…”

  “I am not surprised. I’m sorry but a human is quite useless in this environment. Can any of you deal with those magma snakes?” Toxic Donkey pointed at the 5 magma snakes that were staring the party down.

  “Ooh I haven’t eaten fire snakes before! What do they taste like?!”

  “Maybe you should sit this one out Io, fire doesn’t work on them.” Toxic Donkey patted the spot next to him. Io weighed her options and went to sit down next to Toxic Donkey.

  “I guess it’s up to you Noelle. I will support you!” Giana said melodically as she started to sing.

  “Right let’s try adjusting the gravity this time so I don’t sink through the magma.” Noelle stepped into the magma. She took a couple of steps and managed to cancel out gravity enough for her to walk over the magma.

  “Right so which of you want to get punched first!” Noelle took a stance that suggested that she knew martial arts. The only art that Noelle knows is the art of punching and the art of the venomous tongue.

  The magma snakes moved. Noelle stomped, and the closest magma snake shattered as it turned into stone. Stone couldn’t move like snakes do, so this was the easiest way for Noelle to kill them. She was aware that this shouldn’t pose a problem for her but… She hasn’t punched anything in a while.

  “It’s ok Giana, these snakes are weak.” Noelle punched the magma under her and created 2 [Magma Snakes]. Magma stuck to her fist as she pulled it out. It congealed around her fist and made an enormous [Magma Fist]. She punched her other arm into the magma and had both her hands covered in magma.

  “Heh this place is perfect for me! I don’t need to move, and I can punch all I want!” The [Magma Snakes] were not made to attack. Noelle had made them to herd the real magma snakes toward her, into the range of her [magma Fist].

  A snake came near, and it got hit by a [Magma Punch]. The snake got sent flying and shattered against the wall far behind it.

  “What!? I need to complain to Agnis! These things are way too weak!”

  Toxic Donkey shook his head. This environment would be a literal hell for most, if not all the parties. The rest of the party was resting on the small patch that wasn’t magma. The rest was magma and more magma. Getting attacked on this patch would be a death sentence for almost every party. Toxic Donkey knew the difficulty of this challenge but he didn’t care. His overpowered allies were strolling through this as if it was a normal challenge.

  He started to think of a plan on what he would do if he ever got into a situation like this with only Io. Io could fly him out. The heat would inconvenience him but nothing his donkey suit couldn’t handle.

  Toxic Donkey looked to the side and noticed that Yvonne was purifying the air. Yvonne noticed his gaze. “I...I’m getting rid of the n…noxious gases.”

  Another magma snake got sent flying, and Noelle was getting frustrated that they were weak enough to fall to one punch. Noelle had built up some [Momentum] so every snake would fall easier and faster than the next. Countless magma snakes get forming or were they reforming? And tried to swarm Noelle but it just made for more punching targets.

  “Hey Giana, why are your races nearing extinction again?” Toxic Donkey asked, wondering why they’re nearing extinction, as 9t seem to be able to handle almost anything.

  “Well, the gods don’t seem to be a big fan of us. Also, in the case of the 9t we have some… internal problems…”

  “Ah right I forgot about the god problem.” It had taken some stories from Io but his memory had fully restored, and he vividly remembers the fight against the demi-god. Besides outside factors, there was no way he would ever forget that.

  The last snake got destroyed and the scene changed.

  “Noo! That wasn’t enough! I want to file a complaint!” Noelle wanted to stomp, but the environment turned into water and Noelle sank like a rock. Nobody expected this sudden development. Noelle was still conscious, but she couldn’t swim because of her density.

  Toxic Donkey, Vinny and Io had lost consciousness as they were drowning. Only Giana and Yvonne were able to act, and Yvonne was struggling to produce [Air Balls]. As the water pressure was making it difficult for her.
