“Would it be more comfortable to introduce myself as the fire spirit king?”
Only then did Diaz’s face turn into shock.
The reality of the man who handles the flames, which was full of questions, was so shocking.
“Everything, are you…the King of Spirits?…”
I couldn’t help but be surprised too.
“……!”
But at the same time, I couldn’t help but believe it.
Because I saw that ridiculous ability with my own two eyes.
‘The ability to handle fire. No, it’s natural enough to feel like the flame itself…’
There was no doubt.
Magmaros.
If not him, who the hell would show such majesty?
Magmaros reached out to me.
“How long are you going to sit like that? If this old man has done this much, then the younger one should clean up after all, right?”
I couldn’t understand what he meant.
Once he reached out, he grabbed his hand.
It was then.
Whoaaagh!
The energy of huge and majestic flames flowed like a raging wave through their joined hands.
That intense warmth, as if hitting my whole body once, brought the pain.
But that’s for a while.
That power, which seemed ferocious at first glance, soon turned around as if it filled every corner of me.
“……! This, this?”
I felt my stamina come back.

Jump up.
I kicked off my seat and got up very easily.
Even Diaz was surprised by that appearance.
“Ro-Rohan-sama?…”
Towards Diaz and me who were bewildered.
Magmaros laughed softly.
“We must have a lot to talk about.”
* * *
Orhel sat slumped in her chair, her chin resting and her eyes narrowing.
“What? I heard it was sealed somewhere. How are you here?”
At his question, Magmaros smiled softly.
“Seeing that you know all the details of the rumors, you must have been interested in me?”
“Bitch. I tried to find out where they’re hiding and cut off their breath.”
“Hahahaha. It’s the same. Vampire Lord.”
Listening to the conversation between the two, it seemed that they had already met each other.
It doesn’t look friendly.
“So. What’s real? Are you kidding me again?”
“You’re kidding. There are too many people like you who are after my neck, so I just sprinkled some bait here and there.”
“Why do you keep saying that you were kidding?”
Orhel rubbed her ear with her little finger.
“What is it? A precious person who was hiding while playing pranks like that, why did you go all out like this? Huh?”
However, Magmaros only laughed.
“You have nothing to do. Oh, to be honest, I didn’t even know you were together.”
Could it be that you don’t know
There was no way that a person who came to know where I was would not know that Orhel was with me.
That kind of information was definitely worth knowing.
It was obvious that he was doing this to tease Orhel.
“What, man?”
Of course, Orhel passed over the Holladang.
“Why? Are you trying to attack me again?”
“Oh no, yes. He’s trying to do it!”
Let’s see no sign of ending on the right line.
I finally intervened.
“Orhel.”
“……”
“Just go there.”
“Hey, Brother. It’s a matter of pride.”
“I know. I’m going to listen to that story just once, and if it doesn’t seem like it, I’m going to have a celebration.”
I turned my gaze to Magmaros as it was.
“I don’t know why it appeared… but if you’re going to play with words like this, I’d like you to leave?
Let me go rather hard.
Orhel also took a step back and conceded.
He folded his arms and kept his mouth shut.
Then, in the end, Magmaros also gave up a number.
“Oops. Even so, 2 on 1 is impossible with this old body. I’ll stop playing with words here.”
“Then I’d like to get straight to the point.”
to my answer.
Magmaros looked at those standing behind me.
Including Orhel.
Diaz, Grendel, Andrew, Atrum and even Lebarsen.
His eyes were clear.
It was the look in his eyes that made him want to talk.
But I had no intention of accepting his intention.
“All my people. Orhel too.”
Hearing those words, Orhel straightened his shoulders with a triumphant expression.
with a little wheeze.
“Ahem!”
Really, how can you see everything inside like that?
I barely endured the fact that I almost exploded in blood trying to set the mood.
But Andrew didn’t seem to do that.
“Pu-huh!”
Orhel glared at him with murderous eyes.
“What? Why are you laughing?”
“Oh, no.”
“Tsk!”
Seeing that, Magmaros murmured.
“Ooh. It’s changed a lot from before.”
Then he looked at me.
“Is it your influence? It’s amazing. Yes. I’ll believe you and tell you right here.”
Magmaros began to open its mouth.
* * *
“As you may know, the movements of the giants are unusual these days. Those who were defeated after waging a war with the gods of today… It seems that they have dreamed of revenge for all those long years.”
I nodded at his words.
“I know. They seem to be trying to wipe out all the beings who worship the current gods and create a new world.”
With the information I’ve found so far, I’ve been able to infer that far.
But what does that information have to do with why Magmaros is here?
That part I still don’t understand.
At that, Magmaros opened his mouth again.
“That’s right. That’s why I started looking for Gauriel. The existence I made a contract with, the archangel Gauriel. Of course… I already knew that his wings had been ripped off. So it was even more strange.”
Magmaros stared at me.
“The wings that should have been ripped off. The powerful energy of flame inside the wings was moving. It’s not like the wings had sprouted feet. That’s why I followed that power. If it fell into the hands of the giants, I had to steal it. ……If not, I was curious. Who would dare to wield this power that even an archangel’s body can’t handle?”
Interest passed from his eyes.
“But to be honest, I was a little surprised.”
I asked.
“Because you’re human?”
“No. Not because you are human. If you were anything other than human, I would be surprised.”
I tilted my head as if I didn’t know.
Then Magmaros smiled.
“The shadow that devours fire. Do you know why that monster was born?”
“……?”
“It’s because of Gauriel.”
“Is it because of Gauriel?”
“That’s right. That monster was a weapon of war. It was also a weapon of war exclusively for the Great War. , Of course, it was impossible to deal with Gauriel only with the shadow that devours fire. Still, it is true that Gauriel was uncomfortable with the existence of that monster. Gauriel was also very burdened.”
It wasn’t that I didn’t understand.
However, there were some questions as to why he had not been able to deal with that monster yet.
In my memory, in the original work, Gauriel was truly a being in the realm of heaven.
Wasn’t that even after the wings were ripped off?
And the shadow that devours fire, no matter how great it was, was a weapon from the War of Uriel.
Would Gauriel fight alone?
There must have been angels under his command.
So, after entrusting the other enemies to the angels under his command, if he had made up his mind and pushed him like I did a moment ago…
“Having the power of flame means that it was when he was in the position of archangel. Then it would mean that he was stronger than now… Why did Gauriel keep that monster alive? Was there a reason?”
I asked a question with a sincere heart.
But……
Oddly enough, Magmaros burst out laughing with a puzzled look on his face.
“Why did you let him live? Heh heh. Why did you let him live…”
in his words that followed.
I was also a little surprised.
He spoke the next word slowly.
“He didn’t kill me. I didn’t kill him.”
* * *
after that.
The proposal Magmaros threw to me was quite interesting.
“Fire, it’s not that simple.”
“What does that mean?”
“Didn’t you see what I wrote? It means that you can use it a little more creatively. Of course, if you have an overwhelming capacity like you… you won’t be able to use the existing method. You don’t have to insist on that, do you?”
As expected… was that so?
Somehow, it was too hard.
And Magmaros’ proposal came out.
“I can teach you. If you want?”
“Teach me, la…”
I pondered for a moment.
Of course, if I could learn, I wanted to learn.
In fact, his flame magic, which he showed when dealing with the remnants of shadow monsters, was very elegant, as if the flame were alive.
but.
‘Where in the world can anything be free?’
I did not know his intentions to appear next.
So it was not an easy answer.
I don’t know what kind of price I might want.
Did you read my expression?
Magmaros started talking again.
“There’s no particular reason. But… I think it’ll be a little fun. Also, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being close, right?”
Orhel interrupted the answer.
“It’s hard to get close! Just teach me the techniques. My brother, you son of a bitch!”
Orhel then whispered softly in my ear.
“That bastard… he doesn’t get along well with me, but he’s not that trashy. And his ability to use fire is worth learning. Just learn it. Don’t worry.
Although Magmaros was still unbelievable.
Because Orhel was trustworthy.
I decided to accept his offer.
“I wonder what a better way is….”
* * *
Magmaros was enjoying the feeling of being excited for the first time in a while.
Fire Spirit King.
If you were in a position like that, your eyes to see the flames would rise.
A lot of it too.
In fact, among humans, there were those who often used flame-type magic.
There were also those who gained abilities with the Power Stone.
Or there were those who kindled a fire purely through talent.
It was Magmaros who had met many talented people.
But……
‘There were no people who caught my eye.’
It was the first time.
Meeting someone other than yourself that seems promising.
Even Gauriel in his days as an archangel didn’t have that kind of talent.
Besides, the most surprising thing is.
‘That heavy mana bottle.’
The control ability to grow a fireball to the size of a house.
The amount of mana equivalent to basic physical strength that can support that control ability.
It was Rohan who had both at the same time.
So I was curious.
If you teach such talented people…how far can the flames bloom beautifully?
What kind of flame can you create?
As a flame handler.
Pure curiosity could not help sparking it.
That’s how Magmaros is now.
He was demonstrating in front of Rohan.
‘Let’s see. Still, it’s my first time, so I’ll have to push myself a bit to stand out as a teacher, right?’
He’s in a bit of a playful mood.
He showed off the chain-explosive flames he had used on the shadow monsters before.
pop! Puff puff puff! Pupperpuppung!
“Well, that’s all you need to do. It’s that easy, isn’t it?”
Of course, this couldn’t be easier…
“Hmm. It’s something I showed you before. Can I… do it like this?”
pop! Puff puff puff! Puff puff puff!
The eyes of Magmaros were getting bigger and bigger.
No way, no, no way, I didn’t even think about it.
I showed it with the mindset that of course I can’t do it…
‘Eh, doing this all at once?…’
Rohan was too comfortable making the technology her own.
I asked what to do next.
“Everything, next time… Let’s see…”
With the cheek of Magmaros.
A small cold sweat broke out.
‘Talent… is beyond the line?…’
