Chapter 430: The Living Flesh Staircase
Halfway through the staircase leading to the fifth floor, I noticed that the floor, walls, and ceiling were covered in strange tissue, which looked like living flesh.
Honestly, it was a bit nasty to look at. The flesh palpitated like a heart, and there was a potent scent of blood in the air.
Before I kept moving, I tried using fire magic to burn the flesh. I started with a small flame that dissipated almost instantly, so I increased the power and shot out a massive fire wave that covered the entirety of the staircase tunnel. Nevertheless, the living flesh was utterly fireproof.
When I thought about trying the same using ice magic, Frost stepped up and asked me to leave it to him, and considering he was the Ice Dragon, I didn’t see a reason to deny him.
Frost simply pointed his finger forward, aiming at the living flesh before us, and a freezing wave shot out that made us shiver for a moment.
Not even two seconds later, the entire fleshy structure had been frozen solid, making the staircase look like the inside of an ice castle.
It was a bit slippery, so I hovered a few centimeters above the floor so as not to trip. Still, After I advanced a few meters into the frozen flesh, the ice forcefully shattered, making me use wind magic to cover myself from the shards.
The living flesh seemed to be immune to ice magic as well. It did freeze for a few seconds, but it was clearly not enough.
Now that I was surrounded by the disgusting tissue, I felt a sense of danger and decided to move quickly, using wind magic to propel myself through the staircase without touching the slimy flesh around me.
