Book 11: Chapter 4 (2)
“Let’s melt the ice first. Shibaid, put up a barrier, just in case.”
“Understood.”
Shin stood in front of the frozen gate and activated a basic Flame-type Magic skill 【Fireball】. Instead of releasing it as an attack, he held it in front of the door to melt the ice.
Shattering the ice by force was also an option, but accidentally hitting the door might cause something unexpected to happen, so Shin decided to proceed with caution.
Keeping a ball of fire alive deep underwater was in itself a strange thing, nevertheless that was but a type of miracle granted by the mysterious power of magic.
Little by little, the heat emitted by the fireball melted the ice, which covered the door as if to seal it.
“I expected as much…this isn’t normal ice.”
Shin’s 【Fireball】 was easily over 1000 degrees, so ordinary ice would have completely disappeared in a flash.
The ice covering the door, however, melted extremely slowly even with the ball of fire touching it. At this rate, it would take hours to completely vanish.
