The master tells the guy that he's going to protect him from the flames, but he'll also have to take care of the pain of burning himself. The master says that's fine, as long as he doesn't die. Then he crackles the crystal, which sounds like it's in the southeast corner of the room. He's a little confused, but then he realizes that the crystal is only a "grand martial master level" . The guy is so confused that he can't figure out what's happening. The crystal crackles again, and the master realizes that this isn't going to work. He tries to eat the crystals, but they're still burning. He wonders if he has to use "martial crystals" now, since the temperature is still within the "tolerance range" of the crystals. He then wonders if a "drought demon" has spawned from the fire
