Pralulu's eyes lit up and she hugged him happily.

Hulim stretched out his right hand and pressed it against her forehead, preventing her from getting any closer.

"Why did Hulim say that? Is Hena really okay..."

Miko asked with a worried look on her face.

"Don't worry, Hena knows exactly what she's doing. After she finishes what she has to do, she'll come back... Compared to that, what's more important now is—"

Hulim raised her head and looked at Igneel.

"Igneel, please explain the current situation."

Bang!

“I succeeded—!”

When she looked up, Pralulu took the opportunity to break free from Hulim's "control" and hugged her waist.

“… …”

Hulim looked helpless.

But after taking one look at the fear still lingering on Pralulu's face, he gave up on pushing her away.

Never mind, she's suffered a lot this time, so let her be...

"It happened about a day after you fell asleep..."

Igneel explained the whole story.

"...To put it simply, the Red Mist Volcano erupted, breaking free from the powerful demons sealed beneath it. Lady Irus also rushed over to support Lady Laqi..."

After listening to Igneel's explanation, Hulim roughly understood the current situation.

She looked at the half of the sky dyed red by the red light and thought:

"Since Irus hasn't returned yet, it means the matter hasn't been resolved yet, so..."

Huh~!

A whirlwind appeared under Hulim's feet, and her body slowly flew into the air.

"I'll go and take a look."

Swish——!

Hulim's figure flashed and disappeared from sight in an instant.

"Eh? Uh, um, what should we do now?"

Pralulu asked at a loss.

"Let's go take a look too. There's no need to stay here anyway. Is that okay with Igneel?"

"certainly."

Igneel lay down.

"Come up, I'll take you there."

Not long after.

call--!

A strong wind blew through the camp.

The giant red dragon rose into the sky and flew towards the volcano.

... ...

Red Mist Volcano.

The battle between Irus and others and the fire demon Sugart has entered a white-hot stage.

In a sea of ​​flames.

The green meteor moved at an astonishing speed. With the protection of the World Tree and her nearly immortal body, she completely abandoned defense, ignoring all attacks from the opponent. Each blow was a powerful move released with all her strength.

However, so do the opponents.

The vast sea of ​​lava beneath his feet has almost become his second life and the source of his inexhaustible power.

No matter how serious the injury is, as long as the magma under your feet surges, you can recover quickly.

The battle has reached a complete stalemate so far, with neither side able to do anything to the other.
