The further they walked, the hotter the surrounding air beca.
Although this phenonon clearly confird the correctness of their route, the changes around them still made them feel uneasy.
Moreover, the previous sheep people were not the only 'group' that Ronald and Lilou encountered.
As they continued forward, the frequency of this phenonon increased, and the species escorted by fire elentals varied.
Although it was impossible to save everyone.
But whenever they directly encountered such situations, Ronald and Lilou would take action to rescue the victims before them and leave imdiately after simple communication.
Through this, Ronald and Lilou understood a reality.
The fire elentals' plan was proceeding very smoothly, they had successfully connected more than ten worlds, with the invasion process smoothly underway.
A pure world like [Four Heavens] provided overwhelming spell advantages to the fire elentals. After the world connection, it could soon suppress the indigenous civilizations.
Ronald could easily handle these guys because Ronald himself was powerful enough.
If compared to ordinary people.
Unless a Caster with no foundation encounters a spell system that happens to counter, it would be difficult to defeat them one-on-one.
Ronald believed that there must be powerful worlds capable of resisting, or even invading [Four Heavens] in return.
But at least for now.
The worlds invaded by fire elentals were those unable to resist.
"…"
Continuing to fly, the situation on the ground below changed again.
Initially, the ever-increasing number of interdinsional passages disappeared from Ronald and Lilou's view after crossing an invisible boundary.
Correspondingly, the speed at which the temperature rose in front of them increased suddenly, far exceeding the previous journey's rise.
This was easy to understand.
The previous experience had already told them, the existence of interdinsional passages absorbed surrounding temperature, causing the formation of low-temperature zones. Given this premise, the issue here was actually rising.
Now there was completely no such cooling effect.
In the domain of unrestrained fire elentals, the speed of temperature increase naturally began to rise rapidly.
In response, Lilou expressed her opinion:
"This place is really not suitable for ordinary creatures to survive."
Ronald, who preferred winter, had no disagreent, promptly nodding in agreent with Lilou's statent:
"Exactly, I think you are absolutely right!"
"…"
Thus, they continued their journey.
When the surrounding air temperature reached at least fifty degrees.
Finally, a burning fiery red wall appeared on the ground in front.
Even without being physically close, from a distance, Ronald and Lilou could see the entire sky's air, distorting into an onion do shape at the extrely high temperature.
"Really…"
"Really not letting anyone live!"
Not even needing to take another step, Lilou cursed out loud at the scene.
As a mber of an aquatic species, she could accept high-pressure environnts, but hated high temperatures the most.
From the previous lava lake to now's [Four Heavens].
Finally unable to suppress her emotions, Lilou started to curse:
"I know well that in the adventure life, there will inevitably be many difficulties and tornts."
"But ti and again, doesn't this world think it's going too far!"
"Lilou, are you alright?" Ronald, of course, was the first to care about his companion, "If it's truly not possible, let go check ahead by myself…"
Ronald turned to look, and his voice imdiately softened.
For at the sa ti Lilou was complaining, she pulled out two warming items from her bag, and was now stuffing them into her clothes.
Upon hearing Ronald's concern, Lilou's gaze stalled for a mont.
Her cheeks, already flushed, darkened a few more shades:
"Ah? I'm just complaining a bit! Ronald don't get wrong!"
While Lilou explained she continued to pack the cooling item properly, her tone was serious yet slightly flustered:
"Actually, I'm okay."
"Trouble of this level, complaining a bit verbally is enough."
"…"
Ronald offered a reassuring smile, smoothly dropping the topic.
"Alright, let's keep moving."
"…"
Continuing forward in the air, the features of the distant crimson fire wall gradually beca clearer.
This place was built with red rocks, the height was as exaggerated as a giant's fence.
And according to normal force analysis.
For such a wall hundreds of ters tall, the width and slope must be extrely large.
But unfortunately [Four Heavens] was a high-purity magic world.
So simply overlaying it with magic flas, the pressure originally generated by its mbers was easily resolved, showing no instability or signs of collapse.
Then looking inside…
Unfortunately, there didn't appear to be any structures taller than the wall inside.
If they wanted to see the inside ahead of ti, elevating height was the most reasonable way.
Swish—
Since it was easily achievable, there was no reason for Ronald to refrain.
He thus raised their altitude with Lilou.
However, before seeing the situation inside the wall, a new scene first ca into their view.
—It was lines of black.
—Radiating outward from the city center.
Thanks to prior experience serving as explanation, there was no need to look closely, Ronald and Lilou understood what it was.
Groups of refugees bound from the interdinsional passages.
Driven by countless fire elentals towards the city wrapped by fla walls.
Apart from the direction Ronald and Lilou ca from.
Every other position had more than one such group in motion.
Estimating, how many wise creatures were being driven forward by fire elentals—this was difficult to gauge, or rather a shaken heart at this mont was incapable of maintaining cold calculations.
"…"
Ronald remained silent.
His heart told him—these are not cold groups moving forward, but countless tragic fates approaching their ends.
Even though these lives were not his fellow humans.
But [Four Heavens] fire elentals' deeds had utterly breached the limits of Ronald's moral acceptance.
Clap—Clap—
Amidst Ronald's silence, Lilou suddenly reached out and patted Ronald's back.
This ti it was the rmaid's turn to comfort Ronald.
"Ronald, adjust your mindset."
"What we're doing now is extrely dangerous, if we make one false step our lives would be at risk. So even if you're feeling really down, now is the ti to control it well."
"…"
"Lilou, thank you."
Ronald expressed his gratitude, his expression still shadowy.
Yet he did not pause because of it, instead accelerating their flight upward.
