After saying the words that she had not been able to say at first, this beautiful woman had become as thin as mist.
Yuffie gently lifted the hem of her skirt, showed her usual smile to the girl on the other side, and turned around to leave.
"Don't go!"
Even if this was her last act of willfulness, she wanted to feel her mother's warmth again.
The sea of fire that seems insurmountable is actually only a little distance away. You can definitely rush through it!
Nia closed her eyes and recalled the feeling of crossing the high wall in one step. A strange energy began to surge in her body, and her limbs were filled with unprecedented strength. She knew she could do it.
The rising flames in front of her eyes seemed to be mocking her for not overestimating her abilities.
But if you don’t give it your all, how do you know if you can break through your limits?
She took two steps back and started running.
"Nia don't want it!"
Yuffie noticed the girl's dangerous behavior, and she immediately returned to her original form after just about to disappear.
However, the stubborn girl did not listen to her mother's advice and rushed into the sea of fire resolutely.
When she took the first step, the incoming tongues of fire wanted to wrap around her legs, but the girl endured the burning pain caused by the high temperature and stepped over the flames.
Immediately afterwards, Nia found a piece of red soil no more than a foot long and wide in the sea of fire as a foothold. At this time, the flames seemed to sense an intruder and began to collectively gather towards the girl. Whenever they wanted to harm the girl,
, the air waves surging from the girl's body bounced these flames away.
The girl found the second piece of red soil that was not occupied by the flames, and took the second step without hesitation.
The flames in the sea of fire were very angry at the girl's continued penetration. They began to transform into a group of giant fire beasts that looked like tigers and wolves, and rushed towards the girl.
"Ugh!"
The temperature of the flame was weakened by the air waves on the girl's body, but the flames coming towards her face made it difficult to breathe. She just took a breath and felt as if her lungs were burning.
The fire beasts surrounded the girl, but Nia did not panic. She found another piece of red soil in the gap between the fire beasts, and immediately stepped over in that direction.
The two fire beasts blocking the girl's path almost swung their palms at her at the same time. The palm of the fire beast was a giant blue-purple fire ball. If the girl's body was hit by this weird flame, the outcome would be nothing but death.
It will be wiped out.
The girl in the air could not change the trajectory of her body, and before she had time to think about it, the fire palms of these two giant beasts were already coming.
But how could she end it here?
Think about it quickly! What else can you do?
How did he do it by penetrating that giant wolf with his sword?
Nia looked at the rapidly expanding fireball in front of her eyes, closed her eyes and concentrated.
Oh yes! That’s it!
She held her hands in vain, and the air waves surrounding her body immediately gathered in her palms, and in an instant, a long sword made out of nothing took shape in the girl's hands.
Ouch!!
A flash of sword light split open two fire palms, and the two severely injured fire beasts turned back into two seemingly ordinary flames amidst the wails.
After there was no obstacle, the girl successfully landed on the third piece of red soil, but the air wave protecting her had disappeared, and the long sword in her hand was destroyed when it hit the two fire beasts.
"Well!!"
At this time, there were actually five fire beasts in front of her, blocking her path. When she looked back, she saw that there were also those ferocious fire beasts behind her. Together with the raging fire, they were busy killing the girl who had broken into the forbidden area.
.
"Is it over?"
Nia smiled bitterly and looked up in the direction of her mother. She could have taken two more steps, but she could no longer move forward.
"Nia!"
Her mother's shouts came from the other end of the fire wall. Nia opened her eyes in surprise and saw her mother also breaking through the sea of fire and jumping in front of her.
Yuffie's body shone with a strange light, and when the fire beast was illuminated by this light, it actually backed away in fear.
After all, Yuffie is not a weak woman without any strength. Before she lost her strength, she was a high-ranking priest comparable to the Archbishop.
"Mother?!"
Nia stretched out her hands in disbelief and hugged her mother's waist.
Yuffie also reached out and hugged the girl's back, and laughed and scolded: "You... you are such a stupid child."
"Uh! Ouch! Sorry!"
After feeling this familiar warmth, Nia cried in her mother's arms.
"Don't cry! Nia, you are still the child that makes me proud. I believe you will be strong no matter what happens!"
Ouch!! Ouch!! Ouch!!
The group of fire beasts in the sea of fire made a deafening roar, and after a short test, they rushed towards the embracing mother and daughter.
"Mom loves you."
These were the last words that Yuffie left to her daughter as a mother. In fact, she was very grateful that she had this opportunity to say goodbye to her daughter, and she never thought that she would be able to hug her favorite child again.
Even if my soul is shattered because of this, what can I do?
Yuffie stroked the girl's hair with one hand and raised her other hand high into the air.
The incoming fire beasts and countless flames were enveloped in a strong light the moment she raised her hand. They didn't even have time to escape before they were purified by this powerful power of light.
Now the endless burning flames around him have disappeared, and there is red soil everywhere that can be settled.
Let's go...it's time to go back.
Yuffie, who could no longer make a sound, gently pushed Nia's back, urging her to leave in the right direction.
"Mom you?"
Nia looked at her mother. Yuffie's translucent body was like an ice sculpture, crystal clear and beautiful, but it was about to...dissolve from the world.
A soft and indistinguishable force pushed Nia to the other side of the sea of fire. When Nia looked back to the direction where her mother should be, she only saw the raging fire that had gathered again to separate the two worlds.
"..."
Nia knelt on the ground, her body still aching from the burns. But the scene in front of her was as if nothing had happened before. The flames engulfed everything, and the roars of the fire beasts could be faintly heard in the sea of fire.
"Mother!"
Mom, how is she?
Did she really disappear?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly there was a burst of crisp applause from above, including the sound of wings vibrating.
"who?"
Nia looked up at the sky and found a man above her with three pairs of wings on his back.
"Congratulations, human, you have completed my test."
This man with six wings was wearing a white fire-patterned battle armor, holding two long swords, one red and one white, in each hand, surrounded by golden flames.
Because he was wearing a full-face helmet, Nia couldn't see his face clearly, but the man's warm eyes made Nia believe that he had compassion that was different from the cold armor.
"Who are you?"
"I am the Seraph - Agulhas."
The name was both familiar and unfamiliar, and Nia couldn't remember where she had heard it before.
Nia didn't have much time to think, because then the man asked her carefully:
