Chapter 1623 1623. Red And Gold Flames
"Fire!" Gil had already noticed the larger river snapper before Walker had shouted out or it had jumped in to the air from the water. His reaction had been to focus every archer in the tower to fire an attack at it at the same time.
The use of the fire magic arrows had been the only choice they could make. Instead of resisting the elemental mana that opposed water elemental affinity, the river snapper would be opposed to it. When the attack hit, even if it didn't defeat the larger river snapper, the flames from the arrows would further heat the water causing more of the river snappers to dive beneath the water and protect the ship.
Hearing the shout to fire arrows, Walker put up a wall of flames to cover Remey, he knew that the attack would be causing some decent damage and could reflect at them. She didn't say a word as the flames she had covering her knuckles were taken and expanded around her.
The multiple thuds of arrows hitting the large river snapper in the air and the pained snapping of its jaws were only there for a second before a large burst of heat came from behind the wall of flames. Others could see that the flame burst around the large river snapper expanded substantially bigger than the river snapper itself. The flame arrows had impacted and exploded in to fire just as they were intended to do when Gil created them.
There were no more snapping sounds of the large river snapper chomping down in pain or trying to get prey. It fell back in to the water burning away, the water affinity meaning nothing against the intense amounts of fire elemental mana that had been forced around it. The smell of cooking and burning fish was all that anyone could smell now.
"Another here!" The call caused Remey and Walker to look over at another sizable river snapper leaping in to the air. This one was not called out in time though, it fell and managed to latch on to the railing of the ship taking a chunk of metal with it before falling down again. The mages and dragonkin that had been in front of the railing had jumped back to save themselves. River snappers had shown their true strength as the ship rounded in to the largest bend.
"We need to increase the heat, Midnight!" Since Walker saw that they were not making much progress yet, he called for Midnight. It was only seconds before he heard a small roar from the back of the ship. She had felt him calling for her and she was not going to leave him alone.
'ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N(ov)elBin',
"Listen, Remey, since we have the best three fire controllers up front we can influence the water that will flow around the whole entire ship. Have your partner bring as much elemental mana around as it can. Midnight is going to use her golden flames and I will try to push them even hotter. We just need to avoid melting the hull of the ship so I want you to focus on that."
"I can't just control flames like a mage, how will I protect the ship?" Remey wanted to punch Walker outright. She was no mage. She had no elemental control that wasn't related to physical contact. This was a ridiculous request.
"Oh, well if you can't control the flames when you do alchemy then I guess you aren't meant to be an alchemist? Right? If you can't just treat the ship like a valuable herb that is caught in the flames of your cauldron then it's fine. Midnight and I will handle it." The sudden nonchalant attitude made Remey want to go mad.
First Walker had asked her something ridiculous and now Walker was comparing an entire river to an alchemy cauldron. It was something that no alchemist could control. A massive amount of water and one insanely large ingredient that was actually a ship. There were even living beings on the ship. All Remey could think was that Walker had reached a new state of foolishness. He had gone crazy himself and was trying to drag her down with him.
"Good, Midnight, we are heating the water. Use your golden flames and I will boost them. Remey's partner will help if he can. The fire elemental mana will get a little intense. If you are struggling, stop or let me know. I will focus on helping you." Walker's concern for Midnight earned him a huff of indignance. She knew she could do this. She would breathe her strongest fires and show off just how strong she was.
"Then let's do this, we are already in the most dangerous part of this stretch." Walker saw the river open up in to the large bend. He felt that this would mean there were even bigger river snappers. The large ones from before could only be children of those that lived in this massive expanse of slow water. The perfect breeding ground for monsters that could chimp through the ship with enough force.
"You're a huge pain and I will beat you up after this! Get ready!" Alchemy flames grew around Remey as she became more annoyed with Walker. The dark red flames trailed around her preparing to reach down toward the waters and protect the front of the hull from the intense flames Midnight was building up.
There was a cool feeling from around Remey but Walker knew that it was the heat being redirected toward the water more so than anything else. The magic that was alchemy flames was not just because they were ideal for separating parts of the herbs to make potions.
The alchemy flames had a more powerful and direct control of the heat. This was why alchemists who had this skill could control the way the herbs broke down and melded with other materials. The alchemy flames were always used to heat certain parts and keep others cool by directing the fire elemental mana perfectly. That was also where they got their deep red colorations.
Since Remey was using them, they were more powerful. She had used alchemy flames over and over again more so than anyone else here. She also had the strength to focus her flames in one spot for a long period of time. Just because she was asked to increase the area didn't mean she was just going to give up.
The water elbow the ship began to churn. There was enough commotion on the river bank to cause the river snappers to come up for food. But now a large prey had come right to the middle of their home. It was an ideal situation for them.
Never did the river snappers think that there was a dragon releasing its breath down at them at this moment.
Brilliant gold flames touched the top of the water at the front of the ship. Walker felt the intense fire elemental mana that he had not tried to control. Dragon flames were always stronger but Midnight's golden flames were unique. They were a true born dragon champion's flames. A dragon champion with the golden flame heart which was even rare among dragon champions. Controlling such flames was the same as trying to control the moon and the stars.
Yet, that was for those without bonds. Walker and midnight had one of the closest bonds of family than anyone could have. That was what made the party outstanding. They had fully allowed their safety to be in one another's hands. It was a trust that reached deeper than just face value.
That was why when Walker reached out to grab on to the fire elemental mana within the golden flames that roared in to life even greater than before. It was the same as Midnight asking them to grow stronger. The same as another dragon wishing them to become more intense. And intense was what they grew to be.
The golden flames fell on the water causing a massive burst of steam to surround the ship. It made it harder to see but the river snappers charging up from the deeper water felt like they had been slapped. Their retreat from the heat they did not like was instantaneous. How could they hunt something so hot? They liked the cool deeper waters of the river, not the near boiling waters that covered the top right now.
Midnight stopped to take a breath and she noticed that Remey was covered in sweat. The control of the alchemy fire to a degree at which she had never used before was taking its toll. But Midnight could see Remey's grin clearly. She was smiling like a devil dancing in the flames of its birth. She was enjoying this insane challenge of will.
