Chapter 66: Falling to the ground!

While Desire was screaming to his heart's content, Fireboy was just watching him fall silently.

After all, this was something he did personally and something that Desire has to do in order to clear the Dungeon.

Besides, it's not like Desire would hear Fireboy say something at this point.

After all, Desire was nowhere to be seen by Fireboy's field of vision.

And because of that, Fireboy snapped his fingers once more. He didn't create a sound, just like before.

Well, it was easy to guess as fire doesn't have a solid body or something like that.

It was then.

As the blinding light that once hindered Desire's eyes kept shining, the darkness of the pit where Desire fell was beginning to invade its space.

Slowly but surely, the darkness was creeping up to the light. It didn't take long for the darkness to reign one more time in the place where Fireboy was existing.

And because the place was now dark, Fireboy's fire body could now be seen by the naked eye.

This was all because Fireboy snapped his fingers and stopped using his powers to lighten the area.

It was then.

Fireboy said something completely unexpected.

"Ha! Finally! That was so scary..."

He breathed out a sigh of relief as some sort of fire came out of his nose.

Fireboy then walked towards the pit or a hole that Desire fell in slowly.

It took him at least fifteen minutes to walk there. After all, he wasn't used to walking. And even though Desire didn't notice it, Fireboy's height was actually the same as him.

Right, Fireboy has the height of a child.

And when Fireboy was looking down the hole with his non-existent eyes, he spoke.

"Interesting human, this will benefit you a lot. You may even surpass the human that I once blessed in the past."

Fireboy's body then returned to its original form, the small, red flame that was floating in the air.

He retracted his arms, legs, and head. It took him a long time, and as he was about to prepare to follow Desire, he murmured.

"As long as you survive, that is..."

Fireboy then flew in the air slowly as he went in the pit's direction.

His destination was where Desire fell.

****

While Fireboy was transforming himself into a fire, Desire was falling to the ground. He was currently in the air.

He had his eyes open now since the light wasn't anywhere near him. And his eyes recovered as well.

He could also see through the darkness now, unlike before when they were in that place.

Desire couldn't see anything in that place except for Fireboy as he was a fire.

"Thisss isss nottt goood." Desire said funnily as the air kept entering his mouth.

After all, no one could speak while they were falling from the air unless some magic was at work.

Desire was falling face flat, and despite the fact that he can see through the darkness now, he couldn't see the ground.

He was also falling very fast, and Desire thought that the ground would be in his sights anytime now.

But never before has he been more wrong. After all, no matter how much he waited, the ground just wouldn't appear.

It was as if it was hiding from Desire!

And even though Desire could be somewhat dumb at times, Desire knew that he would die if he kept falling like this.

His face, body, skin, organs wouldn't survive after he hit the ground, and his life would go out of him.

What's more, he didn't know if Fireboy did this to kill him or what.

He wasn't sure if Fireboy would let him fall and hit the ground, free of damage.

He wasn't sure if Fireboy did something to protect him when he falls down to the ground.

And Desire sure didn't like to risk things, especially when it comes to his life.

He wasn't willing to trust Fireboy when he didn't say anything and just threw him in here.

And besides, for some reason, Desire was sure that Fireboy wasn't a special type of a monster.

Even though Fireboy was a fire that could come close to being recognized as a monster, Desire would only say no to him.

'What do I do...' Desire thought as he looked at his sides.

He couldn't grab anything to stop his falling. Not because it would hurt him, but because there was nothing to grab.

However, it's not like Desire was seriously in a bad situation.

In fact, this was an opportunity for Desire.

He could test himself for real before doing any real fighting in this Dungeon.

After all, Desire didn't know his strength.

It's not like he was a member of a fighting race that could tell just because he could.

It's not like Desire was a genius or something like that.

That was why Desire also wanted to take this unexpected chance to heart and take action upon it.

And that was what he decided to do.

"Alrihht, watah." Desire said as he slowly opened his palms.

Swosh.

Water came out of his palms, and it was strong enough for it not to be repelled by the wind.

Despite his lack of mana numbers, Desire's magic was abnormal. And Desire decided to take advantage of this as he faced his palms to the ground.

He wanted to reduce his falling speed, but it didn't quite work out as he kept falling to the ground with no loss of momentum.

"Shhhit!" Desire cursed as he let out more mana from his Core.

It was so much easier to use magic now because he formed his Core.

That was why the water that was flowing out of him was just like a waterfall!

Although it was mainly because of gravity, Desire was satisfied with how it turned out.

However, despite his efforts, Desire still wouldn't slow down.

'Fuck! How deep is this hole?!'

Desire cursed Fireboy in his heart as he concentrated within himself.

If just a little bit of his mana didn't work, he would use all of it!

As soon as Desire was inside himself, he immediately guided his mana to his arms.

It was a strain for him, but Desire kept on guiding his mana carefully.

And when he finished, he opened his eyes again as he shouted.

"WATAH!!!!"

Desire looked like nature itself as he let out a huge amount of water that was falling to the ground like a broken dam.
