I will swear to protect the beauty with my life

"Summer...Vulcan..."

Fang Wuwei looked at the bottomless hole and muttered to himself. The tiny spark seemed to have heard Fang Wuwei's murmur and exploded under his nose. In an instant, raging flames filled the hole, and the flames shot up into the sky. A tongue of fire rushed towards Fang Wuwei.

The flame gave Fang Wuwei a very strange feeling. The color was really weird. In the vast expanse of blazing heat waves, there were some... very strange things. The color was also abnormal. To describe it as colorful would be an understatement.

Facing this strange God of Fire, Fang Wuwei was naturally alert. Thunder flashed all over his body and he didn't dare to relax at all, for fear that the God of Fire would rush directly at his face. However, the God of Fire's fighting spirit was much weaker than Fang Wuwei had imagined, and it could even be said that... it was completely nonexistent.

The tongue of fire shot up into the sky, and after it reached Fang Wuwei, it gradually stopped. The trail it was dragging was also quickly retracted, turning into a floating ball of fire that stopped in front of Fang Wuwei.

Fang Wuwei did not feel anything from this ball of flame... nothing, no consciousness, soul, mental power, divine power, nothing, only the heat waves constantly coming from it, as if what was floating in front of Fang Wuwei was just an ordinary colorful flame.

The more this happened, the more frightened Fang Wuwei became. Even if the Fire God didn't make any move, Fang Wuwei kept backing away. Senior Sister Fennel was held under his arm, looking at the ball of fire in front of her with some horror. Obviously, she also knew what this thing was.

After a moment of silence, it was the God of Fire who finally broke the silence. The weak whisper appeared out of thin air in Fang Wuwei's ears again, murmuring.

"Amus...long time no see, you've changed a lot."

The whisper of the God of Fire, Summer, was extremely penetrating, reaching into the soul. One whisper made Fang Wuwei feel cold in his heart. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but Fang Wuwei even felt that the waves of heat coming from him had become extremely cold, making him feel a chill all over his body.

"Is that your new partner? Or something else? Why did you bring her to this damn place... Amus, are you here to save me... But I'm no longer worthy of your rescue..."

The whispers of the God of Fire were so strange even to Fang Wuwei, and it was naturally even more so to Senior Sister Fennel. After just listening to them twice, Senior Sister Fennel felt extremely cold all over. Even though it was hot in front of her, she began to shiver and tremble all over... It was as if countless hands were placed on every corner of her body, caressing her body gently every minute and every second, taking away her heat.

Fang Wuwei keenly noticed Senior Fennel's abnormality. His eyes fixed, and lightning suddenly erupted from his body as he flew off into the distance. This Fire God was even more bizarre than he had imagined. Judging from Senior Fennel's condition, it might even have a mental impact...

Gotta leave first...

Fang Wuwei's outburst was too sudden and he disappeared in an instant. The God of Fire, Summer, just stared blankly at the two of them as they walked away, but remained indifferent. The fireball floated in the air, seemingly unable to react.

But after a moment, Fang Wuwei heard His whisper again.

"Amus... don't you recognize me? It's me, Summer, the eternally burning Summer... do you remember..."

The moment these words came, Fang Wuwei felt a trance in front of his eyes and his head felt a little dizzy. At that moment, Fang Wuwei understood that he had been under an illusion, but he woke up the moment he reacted. He was shocked to find that he was still floating on the top of the giant cave, motionless, and the colorful fireball was still floating in front of him.

Fang Wuwei was startled, but did not show it. He turned his head to look at Senior Sister Huixiang, but found that she had drooped down and was motionless, looking like she had fainted.

Sweating profusely...

"It seems you don't recognize me... That's right, I'm really not as good as before."

Seeing that Fang Wuwei hadn't spoken, the fireball began to change. Flames of strange colors mixed together and surged inward. After just a moment, a figure slowly appeared inside and leaned out.

The figure was very thin, tall and thin, looking as if he was malnourished, with his upper body naked, but the skin all over his body was strangely scarred, as if it had been pierced by countless finger-sized needles, and every inch of his flesh was riddled with holes.

The head was even heavier. The God of Fire had no face or hair at all. His face was just large lumps of wriggling rotten flesh, and on top of his head was a colorful and strange flame burning fiercely.

This is what the Fire God Summer looks like now, a fallen and dead god.

Seeing this, Fang Wuwei broke out in a cold sweat and tried his best to emit his mental and divine power to detect every environment around him, for fear that he was still in the illusion.

"Ah... I'm like this now because... I've stayed in this damn place for too long. The Dark Flame Dragon stripped me of my divine power when he threw me in, so... my flames have been contaminated... After Luo Weitairen's death, the Abyss became a cursed place. Only after I came here did I understand why Luo Weitairen had been locked away... Huh? Did I pronounce it wrong? Isn't that the name?"

Fang Wuwei clearly didn't say anything, but Summer began to talk to himself constantly. His voice was still weak and lifeless, and sounded full of world-weariness. Compared to the Dark Flame Dragon, Summer spoke in a much more normal way. Unlike the Dark Flame Dragon, who always spoke in a weird and difficult-to-understand manner, he just spoke in simple plain language, and to be honest, his words were easier to understand than the Dark Flame Dragon.

It's just that Summer's words were a bit crazy, and coupled with the weird image he showed now, Fang Wuwei had a strong bad premonition...

This God of Fire might have stayed in this abyss for too long and gone crazy, or just as he said, he was polluted.

"...Amus, you didn't remain silent from beginning to end, did you?"

"......right."

This was the first time Fang Wuwei spoke. When he heard Fang Wuwei's voice, the corrupted humanoid Summer was obviously stunned, and the rotten holes on his face squirmed faster.

"Alas... I've really gone... crazy... I always hear voices... always... always... Amuse... are you really there?"

"I am not Amus."

"I know... no... I don't know... ah... I..."

Summer muttered to himself, standing there in a daze, motionless, the Pantuo flames beneath him rolled silently, and his rotten head stared blankly at Fang Wuwei. Just when Fang Wuwei couldn't figure out what he was doing, he suddenly noticed that the ground in the abyss began to wriggle. A moment later, an eyeball actually grew out of it.

The eyeball turned a few times and then pointed to the sky. Fang Wuwei, who was with them, looked into the eyeball and found that the color of the pupil was exactly the same as the colorful flame under Summer's feet.

At that moment, he felt something was wrong.

"Amus...stay with me...okay..."

Summer's whispers echoed once more, filled with pleading and sorrow, even with an unmistakable sob. Yet, the words he uttered were terrifying, sending the hairs on your back standing on end...

"I can't stand it anymore... please..."

After the miserable whisper, countless extremely tragic screams replaced Summer's murmurs and instantly exploded in Fang Wuwei's ears. Fang Wuwei's hair stood on end and he opened Susanoo without hesitation to face the fallen and extremely weird God of Fire in front of him.
