Volume 15 Chapter 40: Cindermaw
“So that’s what we’re fighting against.” Keith gulped. The enormous size of the lion was imposing and gave a sense of dread. The heat generated from the mane itself burned bright; all of the hair on their body was slightly singed.
Valgros warned, "If we have any chance of obtaining the flameheart lily, we need to defeat that." The Cindermaw’s favorite food was the lily itself. That meant they were close to their goal. However, this beast was extremely territorial with its food source.
Before Tharaziel and Scarlet could respond, the lion attacked!
Shing! Before the two, Keith raised his giant shield and guarded against the lion's claws. He immediately pushed it back, "I'll be the vanguard; the rest of you attack from the side!"
"Understood!" Valgros already made his move! He swooped in from the side, prepared to slice the monster's leg.
"Roar!" With a heavy roar from the cindermaw, it swiped at Valgros, sending him flying.
"Hmpf!" From the front came Keith with a charge, creating space between them. He looked at Valgros, "You okay?"
"Mmhmm," A grin formed for the demon, "I know the location of the flamecrest lily." The sudden reaction to the direction change was a giveaway.
"Good." Keith nodded. Then we don't need to worry about where it was.
“Rawr!” The cindermaw dashed at Keith. A giant chomp to the shield; its teeth were on full display for Keith to witness. However, he was not focused on the fangs, rather.
"It's so hot!" Holy! It's burning my shield! Keith quickly kicked the monster off his equipment. The drool from the lion melted the outer layer of his shield.
"You have got to be kidding me!" That was a perfectly good shield he had commissioned from Skar!
"Everyone back off now!" With a roar from the side, Tharaziel fired off his magic! A wave of giant flames suddenly encase the beast. However,
“Idiot!” Valgros roared!
"Why did you have to use fire?!" Keith cried as before he had the chance to yell at the boy more, he jumped forward, blocking the massive amount of flames bursting forward! His knees buckled as he took the full brunt of the attack.
"It destroyed my shield." There was no way he could use it again.
“I was attacking him!”
"Have you learned nothing about monster anatomy?!" Keith kicked the lion away, “Fire Lion + fire does not mix together!” This small detail made people easily understand that: one, it's either resistant to fire or two, it was immune to flames.
And it was the second option…the worst kind.
"That thing can absorb fire and repel it back." Valgros grimaced. That was troublesome since both their mages used fire magic.
"..." Tharaziel was silent.
“Use other types of magic instead of fire,” Scarlet shouted. She had used shadow magic to bind the cinder maw’s legs to the ground. It was not going to escape any time soon. Keith and the others started their attack with this.
Slowly, the cindermaw was going down.
“Take this!” Keith fired his lightning magic at it. The moment that it showed his belly, that was when he used all his might to take him out! But the moment he had done this, that was when it truly shined. Without any hesitation, that thing slowly shot fire out of its mouth!
“Keith!” Keith was sent flying into the stands without thinking. Valgros snorted, “Damn, so this thing could also use lightning magic as well.” That was not good at all. I can't use it with water since it's so hot. The water would evaporate in an instant.
"Scarlet, keep it bound to the ground. Tharaziel, use your wind magic to encase me and Valgros. The two of us will try to take it out as fast as possible."
"Understood."
"Ready?" Keith looked at the demon.
"Yes," He understood the plan Keith was planning. Like this, the two of them charged at the lion. They continued to whittle the beast down, but the flames coming from its body still caused problems.
"How much longer?"
"Just a bit more, then we'll back out." Come on. Keith continued to slash at them. Slowly, the cindermaw was slowing down. Now,
"Back out." Keith and Valgros backed off. Keith slammed his hand down, causing an earth sphere to incase it. Bits of flames were exploding forth, but Keith continued to layer it, making sure it was sturdy. Slowly, the sphere died down.
Once the lion was defeated, Scarlet ran up to him, “Keith, are you alright..”
“Hot. It felt like I was being baked.” Being inside the armor and someone firing fire magic would make you feel like you were inside the oven. Keith sighed, “But never mind that, let’s grab the flower.”
They need to come back with it. Before they had the chance to do this, “Watch it!” Scarlet quickly pushed Tharaziel, and Keith and Valgros jumped away from them.
