Chapter 304 Prophecy ⑦
Part 1
Although Lucia Onee-sama’s offensive Water Magic is also quite powerful, the most powerful offensive Magic that manipulates the element is Fire Magic.
Offensive Fire Magic, which burns everything to ashes, is a difficult technique to handle, and its excessive power makes it difficult to select the right place to use, so it was one of the attributes that Hunters tend to avoid.
And yet, however, there is one Magi in the Imperial Capital who is known for her Fire Magic.
Below us, I could see the still half-destroyed school building of Zebrudia Magic Academy, one of the most prestigious Magic academies in the Empire, whose barrier had not yet been repaired. And a tornado of flames was being shot out from its vast courtyard.
I involuntarily opened my eyes and said her name.
“A-《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》………… I can’t believe she is really there!” (Tino)
“Ohhh……” (Cry)
As if he was impressed by the terrifying, yet beautiful tornado of flames, Master~ let out a small voice.
But………… No matter how much miasma that curse is releasing, she is a terrifying Magi for unleashing her Magic without confirming anything. I can now understand why people in the streets call her a witch.
As expected of a Level 8, her insaneness is not comparable to Master’s~………… Or… Or maybe not.
Loud laughter could be heard from the courtyard.
“Hiiiihihihi! From flesh to ashes, from bones to ashes, from blood to ashes! Burn it all up!” (Rosemary)
According to what I heard, the reason why 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》, who specialized in Fire Magic and has left many infamous legends behind her, has not been caught yet is because she has burned all the evidence of her crimes. I thought it was impossible, but when I see her actually fighting, it’s hard to say that it’s just an uncommon rumor.
However, curses are not living beings. In the first place, it’s not even sure that they have any substance. It seems that it’s not like we cannot inflict any damage, but this is the reason why churches are in charge of purifying curses. And I doubt that a Magi as good as 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 does not know about that…………
The Cursed Spirit People pops out from within the tornado of flames. As Tino expected, there is almost no damage to its body.
However, its eyes were sharp. It looked down at 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 while twitching its cheek. Just as it was about to open its mouth, a dragon made of fire suddenly appeared and bite the curse.
Two consecutive shots of the highest level of offensive Magic without regard to how effective they are………… I see, so she is a muscle-brain, huh.
She’s like if it’s hard to burn, then burn it until it burns. Come to think of it, didn’t she use the same method to burn the Black World Tree……
The crimson dragon runs freely across the sky while biting the Cursed Spirit People. It’s an attack that is likely to attract the attention of the people of the Imperial Capital in a different way from the one before.
At that moment, Lucia’s Onee-sama appeared from below, straddling her staff. The hem of her robe was fluttering and she looked even grumpier than usual.
When Lucia Onee-sama matches the eye level of Master~ who was *purapura* fluttering, she dexterously flies at the same speed as the carpet and shouts.
“Nii-san! What are you bringing this time!” (Lucia)
“Weeell, I was thinking maybe Lucia can do something about it or something.” (Cry)
“Ah………… Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!? Mohhh! Every, single, time――” (Lucia)
…… Thank you for all your hard work, Lucia Onee-sama.
Even Tino, who gets involved occasionally, is having a hard time, so I can only imagine how hard it is for Lucia Onee-sama, who is often involved as she’s his Imouto.
The Cursed Spirit People who had escaped from the flaming dragon was coming toward us, out of breath. It looked completely pissed off.
Its anger was so great that even Marin’s Wails and the black knight were wincing back.
Come to think of it, Spirit People who are living in the forest are basically bad with Fire Magic……
Spirit People excel in every type of Magic, but fire is one of their few weaknesses. It is probably because a forest is easily burnable. They rarely use Fire Magic and don’t like fire very much. In the first place, even if you’re unharmed, if you were suddenly swallowed by flames, you’d probably get angry――.
Heck, why are you coming here even though the one who released the fire is 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》!?
“Nii-san, get inside a building――” (Lucia)
Lucia Onee-sama makes a big turn and stands in front of the curse without hesitation. Anthem Onii-sama and Sytry Onee-sama all stood calmly in front of the curse, but they had so much courage. Tino too, feel like I had grown, but I don’t feel that I can keep up with them.
Lucia Onee-sama grabbed the staff she was dexterously straddling, raised it, and then swung it down in the air with all her might, casting her technique.
Her skirt *hirahira* fluttered. The vortex created in the air by her technique quickly became a huge tornado and was released toward the three curses. Marin’s Wails which was behind the Spirit People releases a black wave, but the tornado engulfs it, swallowing and trapping the three.
It was much more flashy than Sytry Onee-sama, who was *poipoi* throwing explosives everywhere. Fortunately, it seems to be under control, but if it had been unleashed in the town, the scale of damage would have been quite large.
《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 released her fire in the tornado. Engulfed in flames, the tornado flared up like firewood dipped in oil.
“Haaaahahaha! Burnnn!” (Rosemary)
“I am sorry, Cry-san! It seems like her … Master’s spirit and firepower is a little high since she got that black ash!” (Altobaran)
Near 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》, Altobaran, a familiar Magi from 《Hidden Curse (Ma Tsue)》, is *pekopeko* bowing his head. He seems to be having a hard time. Master~ smiled and *hirahira* waved at Altobaran, and then looked up at Tino.
“Tino, let’s go to that huge building!” (Cry)
“Y-Yes………… Master~!” (Tino)
Manipulating Car-kun according to Master’s~ will, we take refuge in a large building where many Magi are gathered outside.
I pushed open the double doors. The building was――It looked like an auditorium.
Inside, there are even more Magi gathered, and a single jet-black staff rests on a pedestal in the center of the room.
I gulped. Tino cannot see Magic, but as a Thief, I have a keen sense. Even Tino, who is not a Magi, could see that the staff held considerable power. The Magi all looked at Tino as we entered.
Master~…… Don’t tell me…… That’s what it was! You knew there was this staff here――.
In Tino’s mind, I remember Master’s~ outstanding Magic skills he showed during the Supreme Martial Arts Festival.
“………… No, no, that was a Fake Master~……” (Tino)
However, it is obvious that the real 『Master~』 is stronger than the fake. In the first place, even if it was not the real one who fought but a fake, it was definitely Master~ who stopped the sword Relic that was releasing that terrifying power.
Will this time finally be the time when his fighting ability, which has not been revealed to the public, be exposed in the light of day?
TL notes:
Thanks for reading!
Welp I think we all know what’s gonna happen with that Black Staff…
Good luck Lucia in beating the Cursed Spirit People
Tchao à plus!
