Bab 169: 169. Fiona's Betrayal

The bony Dark Mage was extremely pleased with his tactics. From the start, his aim had been to bomb Jake. Sren couldn't do that with other monsters, but with demons it was possible because he had their True Names.

Fiona, who had been teleported beside him, looked closely at this scene while hiding her sense of dread. However, a trace of happiness appeared on her face when she began seeing a faint, tall silhouette still standing.

''What?!'' Sren's shout echoed in the core chamber.

On the 69th Floor.

Jake stood there like a statue. The earlier attack had completely burned off his clothes and he remained naked in the pool of lava.

His body wasn't injured in the least and it appeared as if he was unconcerned by the lava's heat either.

At the last moment, Jake had tried using the Sphere of Darkness, but knowing that it wouldn't make any difference against an explosion of such caliber, he did something ridiculous or rather…

He did nothing at all.
