124. Because I have my strength
As Rohan raised the fireball, the fire-consuming shadow inhaled it and reduced it.
A frontal power fight that neither can back down from.
The first to be pushed would lose.
If the fire-devouring shadow stops, it will be swept away by the fireball.
If Rohan stopped first, he wouldn’t be able to stop the shadow consuming the huge fire.
But those who watched it couldn’t help but be anxious.
The shadow that swallowed the fire grew bigger and bigger.
Rohan’s physical strength won’t be infinite.
But… the rift came at an unexpected moment.
Woo woo woo woo!
The shadow that continued to swallow the fire that Rohan had swallowed the fireball.
Suddenly, it made a painful sound.
“Uh, huh huh?”
soon
Woooh!
The swelling ship had exploded!
The flames piled up inside the ship also flew in all directions.
Sparks were blown here and there, causing fires.
The members of the death squad who watched the scene opened their mouths wide.
“That, that…!”
“Explode……dani……”
“How much fire do you need to feed that monster to explode?”
“No, was that possible in the first place?”
“I don’t know… don’t ask.”
Atrum shouted at the death squad members who watched the two monsters fight in a half-fascinated state.
“There are still remnants left! Don’t let go!”
“Yes, yes!”
Still, Attrum was no different.
Now, if we take care of the few remaining guys in front of us, this place will be over.
In addition, there was no way to stop the shadow monsters even if they lit a fire.
The leader of those who purify the light and create the shadows… has disappeared.
‘To be able to overcome a real fire-swallowing shadow…… It’s amazing.’
The time when a little careless was about to stick his head out.
A situation that no one expected at all, came in front of them.
Unimaginable large-scale shadow monsters began pouring from inside the palace.
Poof! Poof! Whip!
“This, this……! Isn’t it the level of the leftovers?”
“Is this the main unit?”
“You are too many…!”
Their leader was knocked down.
I wondered if their graves might be here as well.
Atrum shouted urgently.
“Get your mind right! The fight isn’t over yet!”
* * *
“Whoa…!”
I let out a long breath.
To be honest, it was a bit terrifying.
The capacity of the stomach of the shadow that swallowed fire was greater than I thought.
Rebecca said that she could not win unless she was the fire spirit king.
Conversely, when he said that he could defeat the fire spirit king, I poured out my strength with confidence.
However, the shadow that swallowed the fire lasted quite a while longer than expected.
In the meantime, even growing up, honestly, I couldn’t help but feel anxious.
I couldn’t stop either.
If you grow up like that and give up here… it’s worse than not doing it.
So, I cried and ate mustard, and I pushed on until the end…
‘How could it be… that’s okay.’
I sighed and looked back.
There, he could see Diaz, Grendel, Andrew, Orhel and other members of the society struggling against the remaining shadow monsters.
But… the problem was that that wasn’t all.
I couldn’t help but open my eyes.
At first, I thought it was just a little bit of leftovers.
It was a level of remnant that I want to be able to take care of it without me having to step out.
But now things have changed.
Aren’t shadow monsters pouring out from the inside of the royal palace?
‘What, what is it? What about that quantity?’
The third eye was giving a strong warning that a number of shadow monsters were coming that would send chills down the spine.
‘Could that be the main force, and what we’ve dealt with so far…were they just the vanguard?’
Of course, since the leader, the shadow that devours fire, disappeared, the number of them wouldn’t increase anymore.
However, even taking that into account, the number of their heads was excessive.
To support now…
‘What?……’
when I was about to step out.
I feel my head spinning in an instant.
dump.
Unknowingly, my legs gave out all the strength, and I collapsed on the spot.
It was the first time this ever happened.
Especially after I ate the phoenix potion made with alchemy, I never felt like my stamina was running…
I never thought I would lose this much.
It was then.
“Ssssss……”
At some point, additional troops of shadow monsters began approaching me one after another.
The third eye was alerting me to danger from the direction behind my back.
I turned around and tried to get up.
ping……
‘sh*t!’
It seemed that he still needed a little more time to recover.
In the meantime, those few shadow monsters were secretly approaching me, crossing the shadows.
‘I don’t think it’ll be hard to light a fire again right now…!’
I’ve been racking my brains to find a way out of this crisis.
Meanwhile.
Diaz also sensed that something was unusual about me.
He hurriedly ran towards me.
She looked at me sitting on the floor and asked with a worried face.
“Rohan-nim! Are you okay? Are you injured somewhere?”
Confirming her, I nodded.
“I’m not hurt. However, it looks like I used a little too much force. I can’t get enough of my body.”
“Didn’t you have any other problems?”
“It’s okay. I just need to buy some time. Time to recover. Now even lighting a fire… I think it’s going to be difficult.”
Diaz looked at my body for any scars.
After confirming that there really was no problem, I finally stood up.
“Okay! I’ll drag the time!”
I turned my eyes and shared the enemy’s direction.
“An unknown number of enemies are approaching from the other side. You’ll know the characteristics of the shadow monsters… but even a small shadow can hide a lot.”
“Yes. I know.”
There is only one way.
“The moment they jump out of the shadows and fly in. It’s just aiming for that moment and dealing with it with a single blow.”
The torch given to us is the only one held in Diaz’s hand.
Originally, I did not have a torch because I could light a fire myself.
Now I regret it a bit.
It was a pity that there was not even a little more light.
But there was no time to dwell on that regret.
“……come!”
Diaz and I silently gripped the swords in our hands.
That moment.
Dig! Pababat!
The shadow monsters that came close to me suddenly flew in like assassins…
Roaring!
Aren’t they all of a sudden, burning up in an intense fire?
Obviously I didn’t do anything…
“Keeeaek!”
The shadow monsters were dying.
* * *
Diaz and I both looked away in surprise.
It seemed that he missed someone quietly approaching him because his third eye was focused entirely on the shadow monster.
His presence was also very quiet.
Of course, no matter how crazy the situation is, this level of stealth.
I frowned and glared at the mysterious existence.
That person, with the hood on, swung the fire in his hand to extinguish it.
Whiik……
He slowly walked towards us.
“Don’t worry, just sit back and get some rest. You’re still going to be dizzy.”
At first, he used flames, so I wondered if Kroyton had crossed the ocean and appeared here…
It wasn’t long before I found out.
Not even Creighton.
It felt similar to his magic, but it was because it was subtly different.
Diaz blocked my way with his body.
I asked the middle-aged man cautiously.
“who are you?”
However, he just ignored Diaz’s question.
The mysterious figure looked over Diaz’s shoulder at me and asked.
“Are you Rohan?”
Diaz moved again to cover me.
“I asked who are you?
Eventually, the mysterious figure looked at Diaz and spoke in a gentle voice.
“Who am I…? It’s not a difficult answer. However, I’ll deal with the intruders first. He keeps interrupting me, so it’s going to take some time to have a proper conversation.”
“……”
He said that and turned around.
In the meantime, the shadow monsters have already launched a second attack.
Did you think that the mysterious man was a bigger threat than me?
The shadow monsters flying over there first.
The man swung his arm without even looking at the shadow monster properly.
Roaring! Hwareuk!
The bodies of the shadow monsters started burning at the same time.
‘It’s the same technique as the one I saw earlier.’
I was even more surprised because I was in a position to deal with flames.
Fire at multiple targets at the same time without seeing the target properly?
It was such a high-level technique that I didn’t even know how to do it.
Of course, the shadow monsters caught on fire quickly disappeared without leaving ashes.
But what really surprised me was what happened next.
Let his arm cut through the air like a conductor once more.
pop! Puffup! Roaring!
Aren’t the flames riding on the shadow monsters and leading to a chain of explosions!
The explosion didn’t just annihilate the shadow monsters around us, it spread even further.
And then it reached the battlefield of the Neuer death squad.
Puffup! Hwareuk! Puff puff puff! Roaring!
It was devouring everything, even the shadow monster in the distance.
Such a simple movement can lead to such tremendous results…
Thanks to that, even the main body of the shadow monster was being organized in an instant.
I looked at it in wonder.
As for flame magic, it could be said that it was a skill that reached an extreme level.
Let the flames rise in all directions to some extent due to the chain explosion.
Everywhere brightened, and the crater I created by exploding the fire-devouring shadow caught my eye.
The mysterious man looked at the spot curiously and muttered.
“Haha. To think that someone who could destroy the fire-consuming shadows would appear in such a haphazard way. Even I had never thought of something like this… No matter how much I possessed my power.”
“……!”
I’m in his word.
I could barely hold back the thought of screaming.
“Nice to meet you. Magmaros, they say.”
He turned his head and smiled.
The fire spirit king… appeared in front of me.
