Austin and the queen wanted to apply their bodily movement skill as soon as possible. They hoped that it would help to at least avoid the impact of the explosion.
But that ball of light was moving faster than they had expected, rushing up to meet them like a bullet. In the blink of an eye, it reached where both of them were standing and threatened to shatter the whole mountain beneath their feet.
It was quick and formidable. The power it released was overwhelming and bone-crushing. The energy waves that seemed to be shooting out from its center started to grind the mountain like an invisible huge hand. It was so vigorous in movement that it seemed like all the things, alive or dead, would turn into ashes in an instant.
Astonished at the sight before their eyes, Austin and the queen found themselves fixed in their spots. They were unable to move at all. It did not matter how anxious they were to get out of that place.
They were petrified and were left with no chance to escape.
Austin began to sweat. This was a life-or-death situation. As the seconds passed, they were afraid that they would be melt by the heat even before they got crushed to dust by the pressure. Just then, Austin remembered his City model, the magic space he had always carried. It cheered him up a bit. He wasn't sure it would work, but he knew that it was their only hope.
Wasting no time, he activated the transporting power of the City model. If he could send the queen and himself into it, there was a possibility to survive this strong force.
The fact was that he was being too optimistic. To his surprise, the City model did not answer him. The ball of light was drawing nearer and nearer, but the City model seemed to have malfunctioned, turning into a piece of stone.
That might also be this light's doing! Every corner of the space around them was suppressed by the endless great pressure from the blinding light. It was then that Austin realized that all the spaces and the tunnels between them were blocked, frozen and squeezed by the light completely!
It was too late. There was no way that they could travel through those blocked spaces and take shelter in a safe place.
They were doomed!
Austin looked up at the dazzling light with a helpless sigh, even the queen could hear him. So was it the end? Desperateness and dejection loomed in his heart, yet he tried not to let it show. He felt vulnerable.
Sensing the despair in the man beside her, the queen fell into deeper misery instantly. Her face suddenly softened. She turned around to look at him.
Then, she did something that was beyond Austin's expectation. Something that she couldn't stop herself from doing.
She wrapped her arms around his waist, like a gentle and innocent girl who was terrified by the situation at hand.
"If we have to die and if this is the end of the world, I would rather die in your arms," she whispered in a soft voice. Her words were soft but precise.
Austin looked down at her face. The queen's cheeks still had a bright pink hue, even in this dreadful situation. It looked like that she was having a fever, but Austin knew that it was because of the heat she gave out from her body, which was filled with strong energy. And it was beautiful.
Time seemed to have slowed down as he felt her hug. The moment seemed eternal. He inhaled the strange and enchanting perfume that reached his nose as it emanated from her body--her warm and soft body. She was now embracing him like a snake of fire, making his heart thump. Suddenly, he felt as if danger never existed. He closed his eyes to enjoy the moment, forgetting about everything.
Hardly had a second or two passed when Austin opened his eyes.
Something struck him when he was sinking into her love. It suddenly gave him courage to tackle the distressing situation.
