Meanwhile, Castor was focused on the four in front of him. Fire flared up in his hammer, "I will open the path for you!" He was ready to sacrifice himself so Eson could make an escape. He thought of taking the four in front of him with his strike.
He raised his hammer and slammed it to the ground. The ground split up, forming a meter crack, and then lava burst out from the crack. Just like a wave, the fire went to the sides, filling the area with lava.
Of course, the lava would not hurt the four in front of him. He was aware of that, but that was not enough. However, it forced them to form a barrier from the lava.
Castor immediately identified Karoen, the weakest link as the target, hoping the other three would come for him as well. He leaped toward the octopus's head with his hammer.
"I will buy you some time, Eson! Leave!"
He slammed the hammer down toward the barrier.
Boom!
