Running through the flames

“Whoops, whoops.”

Koro takes on a stinky performance.

Koo! Koo!

He is sprinting through the rubble of a building that has been destroyed by fire.

Ah, the reason the footsteps sound like this is simple.

I turned on [Giantization] to raise fire resistance even a little.

‘How far have I come now?’

I tried to guess the exact location somehow while running, but I don’t know for sure.

The royal palace, which always gave me a sense of distance when I came to this city, is invisible because of the smoke.

All you have to do is just keep running.

Whoops-!

Anyway, about an hour like that.

In the meantime, I have learned two things.

once first.

aah-!

The flames engulfed in all directions were not caused by a simple fire.

A flame that doesn’t just stick to itself, but explodes at regular intervals?

‘It must be magic—’

aa-!

I paused my thoughts for a moment, and quickly moved the shield in the direction of the explosion.

A red shield with a different price than the shield temporarily borrowed from the Knights after hearing the news of the assassin.

“The lava shield has absorbed the flame.”

“The character’s soul power is restored in proportion to the amount absorbed.”

No. 4819 Lava Shield.

I brought it because of the passive stat of +30 fire resistance when in possession, but it is the most essential item right now.

‘Ha, it would have been a real mess if I had just come in.’

Or is it a life-history?

Since it is an item that only responds to attack skills and magic, I thought the ‘Soul Power Recovery’ option would be useless.

If it wasn’t for this, [Giantization] would have been saved.

So here’s the second one.

“… … .”

Quiet wherever you go

Buildings collapsing, flames roaring, and the sound of burning the city ringing in my ears… … .

So far, there have been 0 survivors.

Not a single scream is heard, let alone a rescue call.

‘… … But the good news is that there aren’t that many corpses.’

For reference, most of the corpses I encountered were lying on the other side of me.

It escaped the fire that started from the outside and escaped inside.

There is also a royal palace there.

‘I hope Raven gets there safely… … .’

I continued to run through the flames, hoping that I could get out of this situation by all means.

Well, maybe it’s not.

According to the guards, the entire southern part of Karnon was engulfed in flames. And Raven’s residence is located in the very center of the South.

‘It’s like the time has come to come out slowly… … .’

tuk.

I stopped walking.

In front of them, a stone building was revealed among the clouds of smoke.

aa-!

Even at this moment, there was no place that was affected by repeated explosions, but it was not difficult to recognize the shape since it was such a large building.

The 3rd public platform in the Yellow Capital Karnon.

I quickly glanced around, and I was stunned.

‘Nimiral.’

The address Raven was talking about is right around here.

Of course, we don’t know the exact location.

But what does that mean?

No matter where I look in the east, west, north, and south, there is no place that is unsatisfactory.

“… … .”

I hold my breath for a moment and concentrate on the sound, but I still hear nothing but the fucking fire.

If so, what would happen to Raven?

Did you escape at the right time as you hoped?

“Arua Raven—!!!”

I shouted as hard as I could, because I didn’t know.

Judging that there might be people around you looking for rescue.

However, there was silence in response to several calls.

So, I was just about to resume my movement to the royal palace of Iman.

[…] … Mr. Yandel?]

A voice echoed in my mind.

If you are a wizard, you can basically do ‘electrical sound’ magic.

[what? Why is Yandel here?]

… … You were really around here.

It would have been better if I had just left like this.

Even though I felt dizzy, I screamed urgently.

“Where are you—!!”

[Take the road opposite the platform and come a little further, then you will see me.]

As soon as Raven’s instructions moved, a square appeared.

Raven was on the side of the central fountain.

With a dozen survivors.

Whoops.

As we entered the magic field that blocked the flames, I saw Raven standing dignifiedly with her small body.

“Why the hell is Mr. Yandel here?”

Well, can’t you just give me a little hug?

Also, reality and movies are different.

In the movie, at times like this, they run and hug him.

“no way… … Are you here because of me? Through that fire?”

What did you say.

“I was walking.”

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, I spit out.

I was really glad it was okay.

***

“By the way, why are you still here, not near the palace? If there was a fire, you should have run away immediately. Do you have a brain or not?”

After joining Raven, I first heard from him. Why was he still doing this near the house, not on the side of the royal palace?

The reason was really simple.

“that is… … .”

Raven was using the new knowledge she had learned in a temporary laboratory set up in her dormitory.

So I didn’t hear it in time when the fire broke out.

“It’s convenient because the accommodation is near the platform, but it’s probably noisy. I usually keep the noise cut off, so… … .”

By the time Raven noticed the incident, the place was already covered in flames.

But it wasn’t as late as it is now.

To avoid it, you could avoid it.

But… … .

“If I had just gone back then, everyone would have died.”

The moment Raven saw the woman collapsed on the street holding the child, Raven decided to stay here.

Well, even though he is cold-hearted in his judgment, he is the kind of person who keeps morality as far as he can.

Maybe you thought it was easy at the time.

With a little patience, the fire will be extinguished soon.

It was not expected that it would turn into such a serious situation.

“… … First of all, I will apologize. I never dreamed that Mr. Yandel would come here because of me.”

Well, I was walking.

“What about apples?”

I’m short in stature, pretending to be an adult.

“Good job.”

“… … yes?”

I said as I looked at the survivors staring at me with anxious eyes.

“You have to save someone who can save you.”

No matter how I look at it, I don’t feel like they’re just NPCs.

the same person as me

Even if they call people like me ‘evil spirits’.

‘By the way, there seems to be no nobles.’

As I glanced around, I realized that most of them looked like ordinary small citizens.

It wasn’t strange.

Even if it’s called the Imperial Karnon, 90% of the population is, after all, commoners. Those who live and work here for the convenience of the nobility.

“Hey, but where did the equipment come from?”

As things settled down, Raven questioned my Fireman’s Edition, including the Lava Shield.

Are you a wizard?

In the meantime, self-interest comes first.

I briefly explained the source of the equipment I was wearing.

Then Raven’s eyes became a little strange.

“It’s really exciting. Even if Master is like that, other people are not.”

“I didn’t tell you who it was, do you know?”

“About it. The wizarding society seems wide and narrow, so everyone knows who is friendly with whom.”

Yeah, that’s right.

But I can’t just talk like this forever, so I’ll just say it here.

“So, how about this barrier? Can I use it while on the go?”

When we got to the main point, Raven also changed his expression and gave a serious answer.

“I can write. It will be much weaker.”

“So what do you think? Do you think you can stand it?”

“Are you writing the ‘Orb of Fire’ now? If I cast the ‘cold-blooded’ magic here, how can I survive?”

“Is magic okay?”

“… … I think you have to do that.”

Raven, like a wizard, did not give a definitive answer, even with empty words.

Simply put, it means that it is so close.

But neither of us said to leave them alone.

“Did you all hear me? I’m moving on from now on, so if you have any objections, please tell me now.”

Soon after, Raven re-explained the plan to the survivors, and of course no one objected.

“Then let’s go.”

As soon as Raven was ready to transform the barrier into a mobile type, we went out into the flames.

“How are you all? it’s okay?”

“Bur, it’s worth it. Wizard.”

The survivors are sweating profusely, but not hot enough to get burned.

Although the smoke seemed difficult to breathe, Raven used wind magic in between to push the smoke away and replenish oxygen.

“Follow carefully so as not to fall behind.”

The radius of the orb of fire is 15m.

Outside, the survivors began to canter while controlling their speed so as not to fall behind.

aa-!

I prevented the explosion from the front, and Raven was in charge of the rear.

“Magic?”

“Don’t worry about it, it’s still good.”

Except that Raven’s magic was being consumed in real time, it was a fairly stable movement.

how long has it been since

“The fire has definitely weakened.”

“You mean you can get out of here soon?”

“If my prediction is correct.”

Good news I haven’t heard in a long time.

Even the survivors, who had reached the limit physically, began to show their guts with hope.

But good news comes with bad news.

“… … It’s magic in front of you!”

Raven, who was having a conversation, suddenly shouted urgently.

So I hurriedly looked straight ahead.

That was the moment.

‘Nimiral.’

A huge fireball appeared in front of me.

I reflexively raised the shield to block it, but… … .

“The single absorption limit has been exceeded.”

「Spirit power is consumed in proportion to the amount absorbed.」

Instead of recovering, a feeling of energy draining away from it is blooming.

‘crazy.’

It’s a fire attribute attack that can’t be blocked by a lava shield.

‘What kind of bastard… … .’

I shook my head.

The first thing he saw were the debris of buildings floating around.

Busss.

Burning stones were forming densely packed into the form of a golem.

Raven’s lost voice came from behind.

“Mr. Yandel. This magic… … .”

“Stop, I know without telling you.”

5th grade summoning magician.

It was a magic that I remember seeing once before.

‘… … Somehow, the fire was strangely hot.’

I continued to stare straight ahead, energizing the hand holding the mace.

thump, thump.

He couldn’t even hear him walking, but through the flames an old man and a man behind him appeared.

“I didn’t expect to see you here.”

Soon the elderly man stopped walking and said.

“You are lucky.”

Yeah, it can’t be solved this easily.

***

Annihilator, Belvev Ruingenes.

‘I’m sure you’ll meet him here.’

Even though every corner of my heart is already stuffy, I know one thing.

‘After all, the bastards of Noark were right.’

They were the culprits of this fire.

Well, when you think about it, it makes sense.

Where else in the city can bastards fuck like this?

“Raven.”

Once I put everything aside, I placed the order.

“You take people out. You said you were almost there, so you can do that without me, right?”

“However… … .”

hey, talking

“Listen to me. When did you lose money by listening to me?”

After a moment of silence, the answer came.

Not by voice, but by voice.

[…] … I’ll bring people in as soon as possible.]

Raven then used wind magic to push the sparks away, making a path and leading the survivors there.

Surprisingly, the annihilator left it alone while watching it.

I was preparing to stop immediately if something was done.

‘Yeah, you’re saying it’s easier to deal with a wizard without a wizard on my side?’

Roughly speaking, that thought was predictable.

It’s not that there’s no sense of incongruity, but if that’s not the case, I think there’s no reason to send it off like that… … .

“Since when?”

huh?

“I heard you are in the royal palace. When did you come here?”

What the hell is this all of a sudden?

Before I could even tilt my head, the answer appeared before my eyes.

“just now.”

A man in his 20s appeared in the flames as if he had been there from the beginning.

“Hey, frame.”

“… … frame?”

“Who wants to light a fire? without my permission.”

Baekho Lee frowned as he looked at the annihilator.
