Chapter 66:
“Huff”
Following the orange-red flames of the torch Lumina threw down, the fire spread rapidly like a writhing fire snake along the alchemical fire oil she had previously spilled.
This fire oil was clearly enhanced with additives.
The flames spread at an abnormal speed. Fortunately, Lumina had thrown the torch from far away. If she were closer, she might not have had time to run with that ignition speed.
In the blink of an eye, the two alleys in front of her were engulfed in bright flames. Under the flickering fires, the shadows of obstacles stretched long, but Lumina could also hear faint explosions, like something crying out as it was ignited by the flames.
This made her eyes widen as she grabbed her hunting rifle again.
The earlier Astral Wolf attack reminded her of her true advantage, she might be better suited to shooting from a distance rather than close combat fighting, though it was a pity about the elven sword arts she had just acquired. She wondered if there was a job that could balance ranged and close combat abilities?
“Awoo”
A shrill howl interrupted Lumina’s imagination. She immediately aimed her rifle at the flames and saw the formless shades of despair spawned from the burning smoke, struggling to escape the raging fire as if fleeing.
