'Ah, yes. This lich... they really can talk!' Masami wanted to suppress such emotion, but he couldn't help but almost expand the night sky with sparkles in his eyes. He would almost pinch Rinni Faithe and tell her to become amazed with him, but that's definitely an act for next time – maybe they an enjoy having fun with the creature in moments where they aren't dying, or sacrificing anything of the sort. Because he had been surrounded by his own guild mates, these things really didn't hurt Masami's capacity of fear, that this lava isn't so threatening 'less it finally touches their feet.
'I guess these types of creatures worry too...' after the thought, he simply watched everyone else fight. As obvious as that, these warrior kobolds are no match for this guild team, apparently the boy wasn't feeling any sort of use until someone near him almost dies.
Even Rinni was doing well, apparently. He felt protected when the girl charged in to save him, although he was already going to lunge off either way, he couldn't help but admit that the girl was fast thus nodding with each other.
'Ah, I could just play the flute...' Masami exaggeratedly pouted, touching the inside pockets of his overcoat, grasping for an extendable flute from Joya, only to hesitate,
'ah, I might get scolded.' Might as well just help someone out, he wouldn't want his team members to think that he's trying to become some emperor and being protected. Believing that most of them are better off fighting alone had left the blond in an absolute lack of choice – Masami being the one who needs to rely on someone... wait, rely on someone? That was exactly it!
Once again, he gently pinched the girl's arm to catch her attention.
"Hey, I've got an id—ow!" a struck of fire had hit Masami in the head causing him to slightly lean forward. When he turned around, three of the warrior kobolds reacted to Masami's response in laughter.
'These guys...' once again, Masami had engulfed himself in a thin layer of fire and dashed, not sure how many times, but enough to reach those fellas who were making fun of him (Hint: it was only once, because Masami sucks at calculating distance). When he was closing a 10-meter distance from them, Masami decided to run instead. Now that he was getting closer, he soon realized that two of the warrior kobolds had swords in their hands, then one of them who was in the back seemed to be the one who casted the spell. That was the only one Masami wanted to hit, because they were being mean and annoying, thus kissing the tip of two fingers then pointing at the group of kobolds, releasing a spell that pushes them forward. They probably didn't even realize that Masami casts more spells than he could actually use his body to fight, and now they were going to collect like a sandwich.
Now that Masami and the three kobolds ensured a 2-meter distance, Masami dashed to the left, then behind. He was meeting face-to-face with the fire mage, warrior kobold, thing – then he finally blew through the pinky finger. It felt nice doing that payback, feeling free to inflict pain because these guys aren't even humans, anyway.
"Gotta need some help here!" he shouted while lunging to the sides, attempting to avoid their attacks. Because Tomoe had attracted teams of warrior kobolds, the leftovers had their eyes on Masami, especially the archers on that side.
'New god...?' Masami questioned right after listening from afar, getting his right cheek scratched by the tip of the sword, causing the light scar to bleed. Once again blowing through the finger, he released a burst of flame before dashing two more times, just so he draws closer to his teammates.
"These guys are starting to get annoying." frowning like a child, he muttered this out as if complaining to the seniors about a bully. Now that those archers are focusing about a hundred arrows upon the people Tomoe left, he walked a little backwards, making sure that he is closer to his teammates.
"Tell me when to cast a defensive spell." he said this as if whispering, but loud enough for even the 8-foot lich to hear. Things were getting exciting.

Once they point the same fingers downwards, another magic circle appears in front of the target within range at the speed of 20m/s, then dispersing into a 0.25-meter diameter hannya mask made out of flames – pushing the target towards the caster at a maximum range of 5-meters without inflicting damage, although the target may still feel the warmth of the flames.
