Chapter 319: Fat Magma Pillar

Date- 27 Mar 2321

Time- 15:42

Location- Sky Blossom City, Card stadium, Arena no.2

"Magma furnace, really? This is just a fatter magma pillar. How about calling it a fat magma pillar cause that's what this is." While swimming in the piping hot magma I questioned Corey about her sense for naming her moves.

After Corey activated her trap card 'magma furnace' the whole pool of magma covering the arena rose to the sky reaching 130 meters just like the previous magma pillars; the notable difference was that it was much wider covering the entire arena and lasted longer. 

With this move, Corey turned the entire arena and about 130 meters of air space above it into a boiling hot magma domain. In this magma domain Corey was like a fish in the water, I am guessing it is due to her physique. 

As for me, I was also fairing well thanks to my Gigamite's super viltronian physique and the thin stone exoskeleton covering my body which protected me from the incinerating magma. 

Summon Armament allows the user to use the abilities of the summon thanks to that I was able to create an exoskeleton of stone to cover my body using Stone Viltronian's Stone manipulation skill in time before being submerged in magma. Thankfully I had help from Hive AI to design the exoskeleton perfectly, which will not affecting my mobility and would be created in time before the disaster struck. If not for this exoskeleton I may have probably survived the magma but I would have some seriously burned skin.

"Give up or I will explode the area of magma you are in. I hope you do not give up this easily. I would love to see you blow up." Corey revealed her hand and asked me to surrender. But I was confused. Does she want me to accept my defeat or see me blow up? Well, which is it? 

"Um... Go ahead, do it. I also want to check how strong my stone exoskeleton can be." I was not being cocky. As currently I was covered by one layer of A-rank stone exoskeleton but if I wanted to I can cover myself with a total of 5 layer of stone exoskeletons. So I can easily withstand the explosion of the magma.

I know Corey would not make the explosion large enough as she will also be implicated being in the area of effect. What I am doing right now sounds a lot like a gamble but I had other insurances in place to be this confident. 

"Magma explosion" I did not have to tell Corey twice, it seems she was looking forward to blowing me up. But to her surprise, I was unscathed without suffering any injury, damage, or harm. Corey observed something even more shocking, I.e, the explosion did not manage to leave even a single scratch on my stone exoskeleton. Seeing this Corey couldn't help but blurt out "how is this even possible?" 

"A magician never reveals his trick" yes I was able to remain unscathed under the explosion because of a trick. The trick was nothing special, the impact of the explosion was completely absorbed by the first layer of my exoskeleton and I just replaced it in time making it look as if the explosion could not even scratch my exoskeleton to Corey's eyes. 

"Whatever, since I cannot explode you I will cut you. Redtail Earth Splitter." Believing that the explosion does not affect me Corey decided to hack me down with her 2-meter long sword. Which was not oversized for her current height. 

Corey darted towards me with incredible speed and slashed her sword aiming at my left shoulder, showing that she was not gunning for my life. As the sword descended I caught it with my left hand stopping it in its descent. Astonishing Corey, "WTF" 

"Since you delivered yourself, do not mind me using you as my punching bag." Increasing my grip on the sword I ordered my 3 pairs of floating hands to give their best to Corey. 

Corey did try to pull her sword from my grip but thanks to the stats and skills provided by stone gauntlets, Corey's strength was not a match for my current physical capabilities. But Corey had a few tricks up her selves, the Red Tail sword turned soft like an actual tail and wiggled free from my grip before I could react. 

Seeing Corey escape to a safe distance I sighed as I did not wish to drag this too long because of my current surroundings which is not suitable for a battle of iteration. Fighting in magma was very disadvantageous for me as the dense magma and my stone exoskeleton restricted my mobility a lot. while Corey physique allowed her to swim in magma as agile as a shark in the water 

So basically inside the magma furnace, my speed was debuffed while Corey's speed was duffed to some extent. This difference made it so that I could only defend while only Corey monopolized the offense. Thankfully I had a near-perfect crowd control ability, I Spy. With this skill, I did not have to worry about my speed being debuffed. I could easily catch her. 

Thanks to the Summon armaments each of my floating hands had gained extra stats equal to an A-rank Stone viltronian in the second transformation. With this bonus stats, I did not have to worry about them not being able to constrain Corey. 

"Game over, Corey. Give up. you can't beat me. " As expected the floating arms constrained Corey again without suspense but what was crazy was that Corey chose to explode the magma surrounding the floating arms. This meant she would be in the blast range. I did not think Corey would be willing to go to such lengths to win. 

*Boom* 

To my surprise, after the first few unsuccessful tries, Corey did not give up but escalated and decided to explode the whole magma furnace with both of us inside. 

"The game is not over till I say it is."
