A Weird Feeling

Alex looked to his right and saw the brilliantly shining magma that was due to the concentrated light from the massive dome.

A fresh line of lava was left behind by the beam and it was now approaching them.

"You can leave if you want," Scarlet said.

"I should be fine with my dao, but… how hot can it get?" Alex asked.

"Very hot," Scarlet said. "Hot enough to melt most of the clothes you are wearing. Maybe even your body, down to its bones."

"Not even my Dao can stop it?" Alex asked with a surprised look on his face.

"Well, not normally," Scarlet said and suddenly started chuckling. "Don't worry, you'll be fine."

"Oh," Alex was taken aback. "You were joking?"

"No, I was telling the truth," she said. "The heat is definitely something that cannot be handled by someone like you. Even the Immortal me couldn't handle it, and I am a goddamn phoenix."

"Uhh, then shouldn't we move?" he asked.
