Episode 111
The monsterâs body caught fire in an instant.
âThatâs enough. Letâs keep going.â
Judging from the speed of movement, it seemed to be a similar kind to the one I missed during the last raid.
It might be a little too much, but it was worth trying.
I stepped back, growing the flame more powerful and bigger.
A blazing blue flame swallowed the monster as a whole.
âItâs useless.â
I could hear Ikerâs voice from below.
âWhatâ¦?â
It was just then.
I could see the shape of a monster flying directly toward me through the blue flame.
I immediately turned away, but almost brushed against the monsterâs sharp teeth.
And not long after I avoided the attack, the monster attacked again, and I fired flame magic without stopping.
âThatâs ridiculousâ¦â¦!â
The monster was definitely burning little by little and sometimes twisted its body as if it were in pain.
Nevertheless, the speed of movement was unchanged.
It was still fast and intimidating.
âI canât stand this.â
Although I did not use the maximum flame magic, the monster was exposed to high-temperature flames quite a few times and for a long time, but it didnât avoid my attack, nor did he seem to have suffered much damage.
âHeâll be different from the ones youâve ever seen. Iâve improved it.â
âI was wondering how the hell it broke into the palace, but you were the culprit.â
I gritted my teeth and snapped back.
âI guess you didnât have confidence in yourself. You even thought of stealing other peopleâs mana.â
]-[[âI donât think itâs the right time to talk like that.â
Iker replied with an arrogant look.
âEven if you use fire magic as your maximum mana, that guy wonât die easily.â
The monster twisted his body again and chased me. I gritted my teeth and ignited a flame with maximum mana.
Iâve never raised the temperature of the flame magic like this in a short period of time.
Gradually, my left eye hurt.
Then the monster stopped moving and fell without force.
âUnexpected. I didnât think youâd kill him.â
Iker muttered, kicking the monsterâs body.
Taking advantage of the gap, I quickly came down from the air and brought my fiery right hand to his neck.
âWhereâs Cassius?â
Nevertheless, Iker did not blink.
âIâm so jealous. Youâre still looking for that stupid guy even in this situation.â
âHuh?â
For a moment, Casiusâ words passed through my mind.
âYour mana, I think, is a kind of mana that doesnât exist within the Empire.â
I smiled faintly.
It was like gambling, but it was worth trying.
In fact, I was pretty sure.
âNo, you canât.â
In an instant, Ikerâs eyes turned cold.
I felt like he was going to hit me from the bottom of his heart, but I wasnât scared.
âYouâre not that much of a human being, are you?â
Iker opened his mouth in anger with a distorted face.
But before his words came out of his mouth, I thought of the teleportation magic circle in my head.
I imagined the magic circle in my head and the path to the entrance of the palace site in as much detail as possible.
âYouââ
His hand couldnât reach me.
I closed my eyes because I felt like I was being sucked into the air.
When I opened my eyes, I stood at the entrance of the palace site, which was darkened by heavy rain clouds.
