Chapter 28 Closing In Part 3

People were screaming and running for their lives.

Children falling down, parents picking up their children to prevent them from being crushed, elderly people in a state of panic, unable to stand up immediately.

In an instant, the paradise transforms into a hellish place.

There are still many people left in the sea, and they have not been able to evacuate. Everyone is desperately trying to escape, but the lava is just around the corner.

「 Ah……ah……」

「 Ferris!?」「 We have to get out of here!?」

Alicia and Jeanette held out their hands to Ferris, who stood there dumbfounded.

However, Ferris did not take their hands.

Ferris knew in her gut why.

Even if she escaped, she would not be able to save herself.

That the volcano, reeking of despair and death, was about to swallow up everything.

All the swimmers, all the children, all the old people, and Ferris' precious friends.

Happy times are crushed and fade away. Hope is transformed into despair.

「 Something like that……I don’t want it!!」

Ferris held her hands above her head.

Jeanette screamed as a burning rock crashed down right next to her.

Heat waves singed the three of them, and the smell of sulfur stung their noses.

A rain of flames and waves of soothing lava attacked the beach.

「 Demon-san, please stop that volcanoooooo!」

Ferris shouted.

The world stops to hold its breath.

In the monochrome world, magic power swirled around Ferris, creating a huge surge.

The people were frozen in place as they ran for cover, and the only ones moving were the three girls.

The whirlpool of raging magic made the hair of the three girls flap violently, and their bodies felt as if they were being ripped from the earth.

With a spectacular flash, a vortex of magical power was released, and time returned to the world.

The vortex of magical power attacked the oncoming lava and pushed it back.

Like the return of a wave, the lava returned to the sea and was forced to flow back into the crater.

Multiple magic circles formed around the volcano, dying the mountain in white light.

When the magic circle and the vortex of magic power disappeared, the volcano ..... changed its color and turned into a jet-black, silent mass.

「 E, eh……the eruption, is it over……?」「 That's weird……There was lava raining down on us nearby……」「What just happened……?」

A buzz of confusion spread across the beach.

No one even noticed that Ferris had quelled the volcano.

「 Somehow……I managed……」

Ferris felt the strength drain from his entire body and almost fell over in a stagger.

「 Are you alright!?」

Alicia immediately held Ferris' body in her arms.

「 Yes……I…… Alicia-san and Jeanette-san, are you injured……?」

「 We are fine! But…Ferris saved your life again, didn't you……thank you……」

Jeanette hugged Ferris tightly.

She couldn't help but love Ferris, who had been exhausted from using such powerful magic on such a small body.

「 It was good……」

Ferris smiled in relief.

「 I think we should go to our room and rest for a while. I'm worried about Ferris' health if she pushes herself too hard.」

「 Yes, indeed. It's still noon, but let's go to the villa 」

Even so, Alicia added with concern.

「 The volcano was supposed to have been sealed off using the magic of the veins around here, so why did it suddenly start raging……?」
