Chapter 153: Burning Zedana

Two damage numbers popped up in quick succession.
Such strong attacks! The Ice Flow Shield has an 80% damage reduction effect. If it were the full damage, it would have taken at least 4000 health points.
“Wishing—Fire!”
As the clear voice chanted, a wall of fire rose, enveloping two flames within.
+3678
+4259
…
“…” A series of green healing numbers appeared, bringing the flames back to full health.
Treika looked at herself in confusion.
How was I supposed to know it would turn out like this! Zane thought helplessly.
However, the two Fire Element Spirits also stopped their attacks, joyfully dancing in the fire curtain, appearing completely at ease.
Even the purple flames had shed their extravagance, and their color became more normal.
After a while, when the skill effects disappeared, they stopped attacking each other.
“Ding!”
System Notification: Congratulations! You have gained the trust of the Fire Element Spirits!
The moment the notification popped up, the health bars above the flames turned a friendly green.
Not only that, the flames receded their sharpness, drifting and flying to Zane’s side, circling around her as they continuously danced.
Next, they swayed and floated to the front of the golden-haired girl, gently swimming forward.
“Follow them!” Although unclear about what was happening, new clues must not be easily missed!
“Mm!” The Light Elf agreed.
…
As if understanding that Zane was following them, the speed of the two Fire Element Spirits became even faster.
Gradually, they left the initial forest area, and the surrounding environment unknowingly transformed into rocky terrain.
Almost no vegetation could be seen.
The few visible were a few fiery red flowers.
“That’s… Lava Flower!” Treika, well-versed in knowledge, recognized it immediately.
“Yan Yan Flower?”
“Mm, it’s a very rare flower said to grow in high-temperature places, surviving by drawing on scarce underground water. It has high medicinal value. I once drank a bowl of soup made with Lava Flower when I was young, and at that time, I didn’t feel cold at all!” Treika reminisced.
“So, it’s used for warmth?”
“That’s just the most wasteful application. In fact, besides resisting cold, it can also be brewed into liquor, used in alchemy, or even enchanted to weapons.”
“Then what are we waiting for!” Zane’s eyes lit up; since they had seen it, they couldn’t let it go! She brandished the Magic Sword, eager to try.
Suddenly, she thought of something, “By the way, is what we get in the illusion useful?”
“…”
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
“Forget it, let’s just follow them.”
Unknowingly, the air grew scorching.
The surface temperature was already at a staggering level; if it weren’t for the ability to adjust the thermal sensation, it would be unbearable in this environment.
However… Star Cat had already appeared with a fatigue debuff and could only be recalled.
The searing hot wind battered the trio, and even though it was a game, they still sweated heavily.
The dry, cracked cliffs and ravines caused dizziness just by looking at them.
“Hu—hu—hu” It felt like running laps around a playground for over ten rounds, Zane breathed heavily, while Starry seemed to feel less exhausted, with beads of sweat occasionally trickling down her forehead, and her breathing relatively steady.
Treika was in a similar state.
Creak—
“Brother, are you okay?” Ziyu heard the unusual breathing sounds from inside the room and hurriedly opened the door to ask.
“I’m… fine—! Just a bit hot.”
“Ah?” Ziyu shivered all over and glanced at the air conditioning temperature—23! “Brother, are you okay? Are you sick?”
“Hey, really, it’s fine. Just go do your own thing.”
“Really?”
“Really!” Zane repeated, feeling a bit anxious since the other side was practically roasting.
“Okay…” Ziyu nodded, pondering as she stepped back out.
I heard boys like to do that kind of thing alone in their room… I just didn’t expect it to be such a commotion! Or is Brother just too eager!?
Thinking about it carefully, I’ve never seen him bring a girl home…
Am I the one holding him back?
It’s very possible!
This can’t go on. I heard that too much of that can harm the body! Ziyu looked worriedly at Zane’s room before recalling a few classmates, “…wouldn’t that be inappropriate?”
…
It must be that Alna’s body is too delicate.
Zane concluded, then transformed back to her original form.
“Hu—hu—hu” This is not improving at all! It feels even more exhausting!
Transform again!
The Swift Shadow Wolf stood tall, and the body’s abnormal feelings disappeared; it only felt a bit hot. I must say, the adaptability of the Wind Wolf is pretty good.
After passing through a low ravine, the Fire Element Spirits stopped.
Have we arrived?
Are they here to repay their healing kindness by offering treasure?
It turned out he was overthinking.
Terrifying, chaotic fire elements spread in the air, and waves of heat surged, with sounds of explosions ringing out, resembling a doomsday volcano scene.
Elemental attacks swirled in the air, bringing various damage numbers, ranging from 1k to 5k, while the flames could roughly be divided into pure red and purple-red types.
No matter how you looked at it, the purple-red flames were stronger.
Staying here felt like being roasted on a charcoal grill.
“Human…?” A deep, magnetic voice came from above.
Looking up—there was a person floating in the air.
To be precise, it was a humanoid figure made of flames.
Checking the attributes.

Health: 250,000

Description: Zedana was originally an ordinary Fire Element Spirit, transformed into human form after receiving power from the Illusory Wing Queen.
Gold Grade Boss!? Moreover, the health bar above it is red.
The two Fire Element Spirits that led the way earlier resembled little flames in front of Zedana.
They swirled upwards, seemingly wanting to say something.
But this boss had no intention of listening, casually slapping and dealing 5k+ damage, sending the two flames flying into the corner.
“Intruders who trespass into the illusion… Since you didn’t die on the way, let me send you on your way!”
As soon as the words fell, a mass of fire condensed in front of him, rapidly gathering!
Oh no! Unprovoked, we’re already fighting?!
Treika quickly said, “We are merely travelers who accidentally entered the illusion. We have no intention of trespassing; we came hoping to find a way out!”
“…” Zedana showed no interest in further conversation, focusing solely on gathering power.
Boom!
In the next moment, the flames had already surged out!
Oh no, there are scattered Fire Element Spirits everywhere, and the space to evade is extremely limited!
Moreover, the fire curtain has no effect on these things.
We can only take it head-on.
With this thought, Zane transformed into the Wishcaster, while the Blessing buff was applied, increasing defense by 20%!
Starry also waved her arms, ice flowing forth, enveloping Zane, bolstering confidence—Bring it on!
