Cells Divide 23 Burning Streak

Qu hit the town, she finally had a chance to explore this place, the first thing she did was look for a place that sold clothing. The first place she saw was a nice looking shop named 'Elders clothing', but when she walked in it was clear that this place was out of her budget, a single item cost around 3 silver! So she immediately left and went looking for a store that was within her price range, and soon she did, she found a more run down store but the clothing items within it were much more affordable. So she purchased a pair of dull brown trousers for 3 copper and a dull white s.h.i.+rt for 3 copper as well, this left her with a single copper. After getting these items she went into a back room and changed into her new clothes and absorbed her to get rid of them, she still got the odd look from people every now and then due to the face she didn't have shoes, but she got a lot less weird looks from people now.

After walking around town for a little while and looking at the different buildings and shops she chose to head back into the forest, once she got a fair bit deeper into the forest she chose to practice a bit of magic. the first thing she did was activate her flames on her fingers and allow them to spread as far as she could, by the end of it she was able to bring it up to just under her elbows. Then she tried to see if she could try to create any types of spells just like Yen had, due to her natural abilities she was already able to make the 'blazing hand' spell, but what she was interested in was just how he made a 'fireball' spell. So she started to practice manipulating her fire, first it was small things, with her slightly nudging the tip of the flames around but soon she started to progress and after around 2 hours of trying to manipulate her flames she got a significant breakthrough. She was able to directly control her flames to a point, she was able to slightly shape the arks of her flames and she even got to the point that she was able to choose where her flames where on her arms, so she was able to make spots on her arm where flames were present and others where flames were not. This also gave her more control of the fire on her body as well, it allowed her to get rid of fire in other places but then it allowed her to spread it further, she now was able to practically summon her fire anywhere on her body, but no matter how hard she tried she wasn't able to take the fire off herself and sustain it, let alone manipulate it. After spending this much time using her fire her energy was near enough depleted, so she transformed to her giant worm and dug into the ground and created a burrow for herself, then soon afterwards she fell asleep.

When Qu awoke, it wasn't to her own accord. She was greeted to snarling and growling of some creature, so she looked over towards the entrance of her burrow and allowed her system to do its thing.

So like any sane creature, Qu transformed into her dire rat form and activated her dream venom flame, and then smashed her claw into the wolf's nose. This caused the creature to pull its face out of her burrow very quickly, as soon as this happened Qu pulled herself out of her hole and transformed into her fire elemental human. When she looked towards the wolf, its snout was dripping with blood, but before she could properly look at the damage she dealt the wolf lunged at her and bit deep into her arm, Qu instantly started to try and get the beast off of her before it could bite into her anymore than it already was. The wolf was soon pulled off of her but it took a chunk of her arm with it, and soon enough a box appeared before her eyes telling her that she took 30 damage. Qu was angry, she was more than angry, she was p.i.s.sed, so she activated her flames and ran straight at the wolf, in which the wolf returned this and ran towards her. When she got close enough to the wolf she punched out and hit the already damaged snout of the wolf, but by doing so she allowed the wolf to claw at her body, causing long claw marks to run down her stomach. So Qu retaliated before the wolf could get out of range and ignited flames on her foot and kicked the wolf straight in its side, she used this momentum to kick off of the wolf so that she would be out of its range. She then made the flames die out and reappear on her fingers, but this time she condensed the flames on each tip until there was a blazing inferno on each finger tip on her right hand, then she activated her aura causing a thin layer of fire to wrap around her body and in tern make her flame more powerful. She then fed all of the flames on her fingers to her index finger, and there sat a flame nearly as big as Qu's head. She then tried something she never thought before, she would manipulate her flame outwards but keep it on her finger. So as the wolf came running towards Qu, she activated her dream venom, causing her flame to grow a dark green and she shot the flame out towards the wolf, the beam of fire hit the wolf in it bloodied, torn up snout and completely obliterated it, and soon afterwards her flames ran rampant through the wolfs system, utterly destroying and scorching its insides.

After the adrenaline started to fade, the pain kicked in and she finally had a look at the state of her body, and to her surprise her wounds were leaking two different liquids, one was her normal ooze, but some blood would come gus.h.i.+ng out every now and then, so she quickly cauterize her wound despite the fact it hurt to do so and checked her status.

Qu somewhat felt bad for what she did, it seemed her system genuinely got scared for her. She slowly walked up to the corpse of the wolf and consumed it. she then transformed into her dire rat form and pulled her clothing out from the burrow, as she didn't have time to change before the battle. She then transformed into the wolf and the 20 hours stabilisation period was enabled. So she put her clothing into her mouth and made her way to a large bush, in which she layed down and started to drift back to sleep, this time not only to gain energy back but to also get her health back.
