The einherjar’s mind raced as he peered over the ifrit’s shoulder. For some reason, Lāmina was visible and half way to falling into a jagged crevice, while Luxuria was charging towards the elf with her sword held high. James very briefly entertained the notion of blasting the succubus with a Thunderbolt, but he feared that he might miss and hit his fiancé. He didn’t even consider using Holy Smite, because he didn’t know that Autumn’s body was already safe. Left with no other choice, at least as far as he knew, Hel’s Champion launched himself off the ifrit’s back and spread his wings, while dismissing his Giantism spell at the same time. Like a falcon going for the kill, James dove at the succubus with his claws extended.

Luxuria felt terrible pain explode in her back, as something sharp tore the flesh from her bones. A split second later, she was bowled over, and found herself tumbling along the ground with something much bigger and heavier than her. The two of them collided with the elf, and the lot fell into the crevice in a heap, with the succubus somehow ending up on top.

Shaking her head in the hopes of clearing away the dizziness caused by the unexpected tumble, Luxuria opened her eyes to a confusing sight. She was clearly looking up from the bottom of a hole, and magical fire was flying everywhere. More concerning than that though, was the red hot stalactite on the cavern ceiling, directly above her. Just as she opened her mouth to scream, another fireball burst against the hanging rock, and reduced it to a molten mess. Of course, the newly formed lava couldn’t retain its cohesion in the face of gravity, and so the melted stone dropped like, well, a rock.

James had ended up on his hands and knees, looking down at Lāmina, who was lying beneath him. In any other circumstance, he would have been tempted to lean in and kiss the pretty elf, but this just wasn’t the time. He could hear moaning, and could feel someone’s weight on his back. Glancing over his shoulder to see who it was, the einherjar was instead greeted by the sight of a great molten blob hurtling towards him.

Thinking quickly, the ex-soldier raised his arms and spread his wings as best he could, in an attempt to shield his fiancé from the falling lava. He then heard Luxuria’s scream split the air, and felt the demonic woman try to cover herself with her wings as well. Unfortunately for her, she was no more fireproof than your average mortal, and soon found herself being slowly melted by the viscous molten stone.

When Lāmina came out of the stupor caused by their fall, she too saw the deadly magma fallings towards them. Instinctively, the elf curled up into the smallest ball that she could, and tried to hide under her master’s bulky frame.

Hel’s Champion was nearing panic when he saw the thick lava slowly begin to run down the walls of the crevice.
