Chapitre 110: 108: The adversary continues

"You're alive? But how?" Maria tried to contain her disbelief against what she had just seen. There was no way anyone could have survived that hellish fall into the magma pit but the chimera was somehow alive and well enough to stop Maria in her way.

"It's not hot enough to kill me. It's no magma but blood which cannot get hot enough to harm me. Getting out took time since the magma was too hot though" Rocci explained in a calm voice.

It looked as if the female was hurt badly, nothing showed up on her face. Instead of a pained line, a sunny smile showed itself on Rocci's face and it looked out of place there. Instead of being charming, it was horrifying.

What was worse were the swarms of zombies that had started to descend into the blood pool around them. They were not being harmed by the substance and would soon reach the center of the pit. It was a difficult situation and Maria was alone in handling it.
