MTLNOVEL Chapter 418: The Floor Is Actually Lava
Fiona took a slow breath as the glowing ruins around her started to shift.
Her visor flickered with ambient noise, picking up distant vibrations.
Heavy. Uneven. Getting closer.
Fiona straightened, her voice live to the audience once again.
"Chat…" she said, her tone sharpening.
"It seems we've got… company."
She slowly turned toward the sound.
The cracked highway ahead of her split open, metal rebar groaning under pressure.
Through the smoke marched a mountain of scales and molten steam.
Its shell glowed like black lava rock, every step cracking the ground beneath it.
Moltrax.
And beside it, crawling through the wreckage like a savage nightmare, came something even worse.
Long arms dragging the floor.
Misshapen fangs spread in a crooked smile.
Mutated muscles twitched under stretched skin and armor plating.
A dripping tail lashed side to side.
Gorevile.
Fiona took one step back. Her visor flashed red.

@Ashfall: …THOSE ARE SOVEREIGN BEASTS
@CoreBurst: NOPE NOPE NOPE GET OUT OF THERE
@WraithFox: WHO THE HELL SENT THESE TWO AT ONCE?!?!
---
Fiona lowered her stance slightly, letting the stream stabilize as her armor adjusted to combat mode again.
Her visor dimmed for a second as she locked onto both incoming beasts.
"Well, chat," she said with a crooked grin.
"I guess today's stream just hit boss raid level."
She twirled one of her streamblades in her hand, fire rippling off the edge.
"And apparently, I'm the test subject."
She cracked her neck.
"No Liora. No Luna. Just me and Fionyx."
She raised her voice, and a glowing ring of fire burst behind her.
"These two aren't just here to stop me. They're here to measure me."
Fiona narrowed her eyes, letting her grin turn feral.
"So if that's the case—"
She pointed her blade forward as Gorevile shrieked and began charging.
"Then I hope they're ready."
Her visor flared, music spiked back into her audio line, and she shouted:
"Chat, support me. Don't look away now. This… is my next level."
Fiona charged forward, both hands gripped around her glowing streamblade.
The wind whipped past her as her drones flared into full recording mode.
The battlefield shook.
Moltrax stomped once, lava pulsing from its magma vents.
Its massive, dark-red body glowed with molten seams, and heatwaves rippled from its shell.
It didn't roar.
It simply began to advance, slow but unstoppable.
Beside it, Gorevile didn't wait.
The mutated brute let out a harsh growl and charged straight at Fiona.
His arms spread wide, tail dragging behind.
Its double-jointed limbs moved too fast for its size, bone-blades popping from its elbows.

@Ashfall: THEY'RE COMING TOGETHER?
@MoonByte: GOREVILE LOOKS LIKE A DEMON AHHHH
@TamerTrash: FIONA NO—THAT THING IS FAST
@CoreBurst: MOLTRAX IS MELTING THE FLOOR WHAT
---
Fiona ducked low just in time as Gorevile's arm whipped past her, missing her by inches.
Its claws tore through a streetlamp like butter.
She flipped backward and swung her blade upward.
"Too close!"
But Gorevile was already twisting.
Its tail glowed green and dripped with mutagen.
"Back!" she shouted, boosting away.
The tail slammed into the ground, melting the stone instantly with a sickening hiss.
Fiona's visor flared:
[Warning: Mutagenic Hazard Detected]
[Tail Venom: Tissue-corrupting]
[Avoid contact.]
"Great," Fiona muttered, sweat running down her neck.
"I'm dancing with a mutant and a volcano."
She turned—just in time to see Moltrax stop moving.
Its magma vents hissed and began to glow white-hot.
Her visor pinged again.
[Magma Vent Eruption Incoming]
[Recommendation: Aerial Evade—NOW.]
"Fionyx, up!"
Her boots fired thrusters and she blasted upward.
Just as a cone of molten fire exploded from Moltrax's back.
The blast incinerated everything in front of it.
Trees turned to ash. Concrete melted into lava.
"Okay!" Fiona shouted mid-air.
"That's hot! Noted!"

@FionyxOnFire: DID HE JUST VOMIT A VOLCANO
@Ashfall: SHE BARELY ESCAPED
@WraithFox: THAT FIRE WOULD'VE ONE-SHOTTED HER
@MoonByte: HER JET BOOSTERS SAVED HER
---
Fiona hovered above, catching her breath.
"These two aren't playing," she muttered.
"Alright, focus. Gorevile's fast. Hits hard."
"Gets worse when he's hurt. Mutagen tail. Bone blades. Intelligence too."
She turned her gaze to the lumbering Moltrax.
"Moltrax is a tank. Siege-type. Doesn't aim up. Vents, plates, slow reaction time."
Her eyes narrowed.
"Okay."
She smirked.
"Let's split them."
Fiona shot to the right.
She fired a line of streambombs along the ground behind her.
The blasts kicked up smoke and fire, blocking vision.
Gorevile roared and jumped through the cloud—exactly as she planned.
Fiona whirled around midair.
"Tempo Break Pulse!"
Her gauntlets fired a massive soundwave burst, synced to a bass beat.
The force slammed Gorevile out of the air and into the wall of a ruined tower.
"Stay down!" she barked.
But he didn't.
Gorevile laughed.
Not like a beast.
Like a monster enjoying the pain.
Its muscles twitched and grew bigger.
Bone spikes pushed further out of its arms.
Blood ran down its face—but it kept smiling.

@TamerTrash: WHY IS IT LAUGHING
@CoreBurst: IT'S GROWING
@Ashfall: SHE HURT IT AND IT'S GETTING STRONGER??
@WraithFox: PAIN ASCENSION MODE OH NO
---
Fiona clenched her fists. "So pain makes him worse? Great."
She turned—but Moltrax was already stomping forward.
It slammed both front legs down.
"Lava Pulse Tremor!"
The ground under Fiona cracked open.
Streams of lava burst upward, chasing her shadow.
Fiona screamed as she dodged left, rolling mid-air, a few cracks of flame catching her boots.
"Gah—!"
Her visor blinked red.
[Footing unstable. Terrain compromised.]
"Fionyx, anchor mode!"
Her boots snapped to the edge of a metal platform sticking out of the wreckage.
She landed hard, panting.
"Okay," she growled. "Time to stop reacting."
She raised her arm and activated her next mode.
[Stream Sync: Combat Broadcast Boost.]
Music kicked in again—faster, louder.
Her armor flared with light.
"Let's give the world a real fight."

@FionyxOnFire: SHE'S SHIFTING MODES
@Ashfall: HERE COMES HER REAL FORM
@MoonByte: PLEASE END THEM FIONA
@TamerTrash: BURN THE MUTANT AND THE MOUNTAIN
---
Fiona's visor locked on both enemies.
"Round two," she whispered. "Let's go."
Then she leapt into the fire.
