Ed appeared only a split second later than Scott. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

One moment he was still carrying a pounding heart, relatively speechless to the pale-faced Brooke, and the next moment he was in the dense forest, staggering in the vertiginity of being forcibly teleported.

But he succeeded. The spell that was secretly attached to Scott's body dragged him here when Scott teleported over...... Next time, he might have to attach a defense that could be triggered, otherwise he wouldn't be able to resist if he was attacked in such a dizzy moment, even if it was just accidentally hitting his head against a tree.

He couldn't hear what Scott was saying. When his blurry vision regained clarity, the first thing he saw was the elf standing in front of Scott.

“...... Norvi!"

The unexpected ecstasy made him blurt out and couldn't help but wonder if he was dreaming.

However, the elf did not look at him. The friend I hadn't seen in a long time seemed to have almost become another ...... Genie.

Norway is a warrior. Even though he is much taller than ordinary people, his standing posture is always as tall as a pine and cypress, and when he talks to people, he will humbly bow his head, instead of being like now, his waist is straight, but his shoulders and back are slightly rickety as if he is overwhelmed, even if he also lowers his head, he also exudes a cold that rejects people, making people unapproachable.

There was no way he was wrong...... But the unfamiliar aura made Ed a little overwhelmed, and it took a moment to realize that Scott was now ...... Maybe not Scott.

He watched in horror as a piece of charred flesh peeled off Scott's face, and the bright red muscles squirmed as smooth skin reborn again...... Even if it's not the first time I've seen it, it's still creepy.

Iss would probably go crazy when he saw this.

What made him even more creepy was Scott's expression at the moment. He had never seen such bitter resentment and anger...... But the corners of his mouth twisted into a hideous smile. The raging flames seemed to take on form and temperature, burning the air around them so fiercely that it was impossible to breathe.

Ed had felt this overwhelming momentum when Is's was angry, powerful, dangerous, and completely unable to resist...... The spontaneous fear will make people stiff and desperate, so desperate that they can't give birth to the courage to resist.

Just like Norvi, Scott doesn't seem to see Ed at all. But the coercion Ed felt was even more terrible than when Iss roared at him.

His blank gaze went back and forth between the two familiar and unfamiliar figures. Ed's mind was in turmoil, but he still subconsciously rushed out when Scott attacked without warning, shouting, "Wait!!"

He wasn't naïve enough to expect that call would stop Scott. A stone wall rose from the ground, and thick vines emerged from the wet earth, wrapping around it, the blooming flowers and lush leaves turning to ashes and regrowing almost frantically in the fierce fire, and the heavy stone wall still made a dull loud noise and shattered.

But the blow was stopped in the end. Ed stood between Scott and Norway, in shock.

The stone wall was summoned by him, but the vines were not.

He didn't see it clearly...... At that moment, Novi seemed to quickly swipe a few times in mid-air.

They worked together so perfectly, but Ed felt a chill in his heart. How could Norvi possibly cast spells...... Is that still not Novi at all?

He tried to calm himself down. Scott had told him what might happen, and the only surprise at the moment was ...... Norway shouldn't be here.

The most terrible answer was about to come out, but he couldn't accept it. In any case, he couldn't let Scott kill Norway.

Scott's eyes narrowed, his golden pupils glittering in the sun, cold and hot, deadly dangerous, and deadly beautiful.

"Get out of the way. He said.

The old elven language, with its syllables tactful, came out from between its lips and teeth that had been burned to the point of chapping, hissing like the whisper of a snake.

Ed was cold, but sweat was pouring down.

"It's not time yet. He insisted, "Even if you can destroy your enemy in this moment, you will destroy Scott...... Think about whether it's worth it—how long do you want to wait in the Sea of Nothing?"

At this moment he had fully accepted that he was dealing with another creature...... Another exists.

Scott tilted his head. There was a strange grace to him in this pose, but it made Ed even more flustered.

What if Scott got something wrong...... If he never comes back......

"It's worth it. ”

"Scott" smiled coldly at him.

A sense of foreboding made Ed recite the spell without hesitation before he could make a move. He knew that his strength was nowhere near enough to resist ...... But he's not alone.

Another spell sounded behind him almost simultaneously. A flickering glimmer flew straight like a lithe bird, burrowing into the tip of Ed's staff, the dull gray gem.

This is Calebrian's cane. Ed had never been able to truly grasp its power, and the reason why he brought it with him was simply because he felt that holding it in his hands would give him a lot more peace of mind.

He didn't know what Norway had done, and he didn't understand how he could do it...... The gray jewel was like a lighted torch, and in the blink of an eye it became bright and transparent, and the soft light flowed like water, enveloping him and Novi in it.

Ed could clearly feel its power connected to him, circulating, but not like a part of his body like the Staff of Eternity, but only reservedly allowing him to use it.

But that's enough.

The flames that rushed in his face seemed to come from hell, roaring and exploding in front of him. The whole world was plunged into an endless sea of fire in an instant, and the stout trees turned into distorted black shadows, trembling and cracking into ashes for a short time, and even the sky was burned to blood red as far as the eye could see.

Only the square inch around Ed and Norway was not completely swallowed. It was as if they were encased in a round blister, and they could see everything outside, but they couldn't even feel the temperature of the flames.

The seemingly fragile blister, as if it would be completely destroyed in the next moment, trembled and persevered until the flames were extinguished.

It was not completely extinguished - as far as the eye could see, the charred earth was bare, there was nothing left to burn, even the air seemed to be burned out, and the flames could only roar and sweep away farther away.

Without thinking, Ed thrust his cane into the ground and spread his arms, not realizing how much it looked like the first time he saw it when Celebryan cast the spell.

He had to put out the fire...... Although I don't know what this place is, the inhabitants of the forest don't deserve such an unwarranted disaster.
