Episode 111
The monster’s body caught fire in an instant.
‘That’s enough. Let’s keep going.’
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.
“It’s useless.”
I could hear Iker’s voice from below.
‘What…?’
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 monster’s sharp teeth.
And not long after I avoided the attack, the monster attacked again, and I fired flame magic without stopping.
‘That’s ridiculous……!’
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.
‘I can’t stand this.’
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 didn’t avoid my attack, nor did he seem to have suffered much damage.
“He’ll be different from the ones you’ve ever seen. I’ve improved it.”
“I was wondering how the hell it broke into the palace, but you were the culprit.”
I gritted my teeth and snapped back.
“I guess you didn’t have confidence in yourself. You even thought of stealing other people’s mana.”
]-[[“I don’t think it’s the right time to talk like that.”
Iker replied with an arrogant look.
“Even if you use fire magic as your maximum mana, that guy won’t die easily.”
The monster twisted his body again and chased me. I gritted my teeth and ignited a flame with maximum mana.
I’ve 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.
“Unexpected. I didn’t think you’d kill him.”
Iker muttered, kicking the monster’s body.
Taking advantage of the gap, I quickly came down from the air and brought my fiery right hand to his neck.
“Where’s Cassius?”
Nevertheless, Iker did not blink.
“I’m so jealous. You’re still looking for that stupid guy even in this situation.”
‘Huh?’
For a moment, Casius’ words passed through my mind.
‘Your mana, I think, is a kind of mana that doesn’t exist within the Empire.’
I smiled faintly.
It was like gambling, but it was worth trying.
In fact, I was pretty sure.
“No, you can’t.”
In an instant, Iker’s eyes turned cold.
I felt like he was going to hit me from the bottom of his heart, but I wasn’t scared.
“You’re not that much of a human being, are you?”
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.
“You–”
His hand couldn’t 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.
