Chapter 88: Breaking Out

Within the forest,

"What happened", Van asked the person in front of him.

"Sir, we are working on it but it's not stopping", the person answered as he kept his head down.

"What is not stopping, what is it that you aren't telling? Speak! Now!", Van ordered the person as he shouted at him.

"Sir, a fire", The person answered in fear. His voice almost inaudible.

Yet, Van heard him clearly and when he did, his face flushed in age as he shouted,

"Are you an idiot? Don't you know that if there is a fire, then you go extinguish it and not stand in front of me? There are bigger matters at hand and you called me here for a fire. Just get someone with a water ability-based system to extinguish it",

"Sir, we tried. The fire doesn't extinguish, not only that, it doesn't stop and continues to spread. Burning everything in its process, all our attempts have failed. It feels as if it has a life of its own", the person spoke as he gathered a bit of courage.
