126 – Empress of Twilight

A man and woman greeted her at the mansion.

Ignis took a slow look at the two of them.

Both looked young. At the very least, he was about the age that he had just entered the academy.

The men’s attire was clean and sophisticated everyday wear. It doesn’t look that expensive. However, his dazzlingly handsome appearance makes his plain clothes stand out.

There is a saying that clothes are wings, but in this case it is the opposite. The hanger became the wings of the clothes. It reminds me of a short truth that fashion ultimately boils down to the face.

‘John Baker.’

His noble appearance, which seemed to personify gold, identified his identity. One such handsome man in the capital is enough. This is John Baker, the main character who made the royal road newspaper shake up from the time he entered school.

The woman standing next to John was a beauty. She would say no if it was said that she was crazy about John. She was, however, a beautiful woman who caught people’s attention. Her peculiarity is a black and white gown with a flowing design.

“Is this the nihilist John spoke of?”

The girl said. Ignis’ eyebrows twitched at her words.

‘Do you know who I am?’

Did Shazan tell you?

That is the only scenario that immediately comes to mind.

There are more reasons to kill Shazan. If he babbles about being more nihilistic, the public attention that was focused on Angra Mainyu might turn this way. That was the least wanted scenario at the moment.

“Are you Shazan’s employees?”

Ignis asked. John shrugged at that. That was all of the answer.

This is an ambiguous answer. But Ignis had enough of that. It’s okay if you don’t hear the answer. After all, since they met face-to-face like this, their fate is one.

The opponent is a mana user.

It is the opposite of the nihilist’s ideal. Then, as the Qing raid leader, there was only one thing to do.

“I have no personal grudges.”

Fire!

The flame burned. It was a blue flame that looked like melted blue dye. It looks similar to wizard’s magic, but it’s completely different.

“What John said is true. You can’t feel that flame, mana at all.”

The woman said. Then Ignis’s eyebrows twitched once more. Every word from the other person was jarring in my ears. It was the first time something like this had happened on a mission. Most of the people he assassinated died without knowing who they were killing them for.

“Our ideal is the extinction of mana. The power to manipulate mana is not allowed to us.”

Blue flame spreads. Curiously, there was no heat from the flames. It is a flame that has lost its meaning of existence. I wonder if these sparks can be used for combat.

But that was a stupid question. Enough for combat use. Not only that, but this flame is overly threatening. Especially against opponents who deal with mana.

“Speed Step!”

A woman in a robe used a skill. One step away from the spreading flame. Movements are agile and natural, like flowing water.

A class that uses extreme speed and freedom of movement as its weapon.

An archer or a thief class is like that.

“Shuriken Burst!”

The next attack specified her class. An emblem the size of a disc flew towards Ignis. The shuriken with dozens of sharp blades rotates menacingly and cuts through the air. It wasn’t just a commendation, it was a commendation made of mana.

The trajectory of the throwing star flying through the air is gently bent. If you read and defended the straight movement, you would have been hit with a miss.

But-

“Mana is empty.”

Fire!

The flames rolled over like waves. Even the color was blue, so I felt like I was looking at the real sea. It swallows a large dart made of mana in an instant.

Pureut!

The commendation was burned. It is a flame that does not even feel the heat of a person’s body temperature. However, the flame burned Sierra’s skill without a trace.

“What my flame burns is not matter. Manada.”

A skill made of mana.

It was only food for Ignis’ blue flame.

“As John said! It won’t be easy!”

Usually, if you show this power, the opponent’s reaction will be one of two things. Stop talking nonsense and deny reality, or realize that you are an opponent you can’t win and despair. The ratio is about 8:2.

Reality negation is 8. However, even those 80 percent of humans will accept reality and become the other two if they compete with themselves for only 5 minutes. However, the woman’s reaction was different from those she had met so far.

‘As John said?’

Ignis’ gaze turned to the man with a confident expression. He met his eyes.

Ssik-!

He laughed. It is an expression that shows no sense of danger at all. I wasn’t angry, but I felt strange. The feeling of solving an unanswerable puzzle.

“As John said. What does that mean?”

A situation like this did not exist in the future he saw. Of course, what he sees is the result. The fugitive Shazan finally collapsed in the flames of punishment.

So it was understandable that the process was a bit odd. However, this isn’t a bit strange.

“Do you want to know?”

John said that, blowing his blond hair. Ignis hesitated to answer for a moment, then nodded.

“I want to know.”

His hand was toward John.

“So let me find out.”

Fire!

Blue flames spread throughout the mansion. The mansion touched by the flames did not burn. It was natural. Because it is an object without mana.

But if you have at least a little bit of mana, the story is different. Shazan’s Trap, for example. The trap imprinted with magic was set on fire.

“The body of a trained human like you is a lump of mana.”

From noble mtl dot com

At Ignis’s words, Johann nodded. In particular, the stats he developed as his main strength were luck and mana stats.

“John, to me you look like an overflowing jar of oil.”

“Are you going to burn me?”

“Before that, I would like to hear the answer to the previous question. If you tell me the answer, I promise you a clean death.”

“hahahaha. Your negotiation strategy is unique. Don’t you usually say you’ll spare your life?”

“I don’t know lies.”

It was true. He wasn’t the kind of person who would tell lies even lightly. On the contrary, I hated such people.

“You are going to burn John to death!? Do you think I’ll leave it like that!?”

Shashot!

Sierra stepping on the floor and leaping through the air.

Seven commendations rained down from her. Its speed seems close to Mach.

“It’s useless.”

Ignis wrapped himself in blue flames like armor. Attacks using mana can never cross this flame. Sierra’s shuriken is bathed in flames.

However, commendation is a trick to attract the attention of others. The real thing is next.

“Speed Step!”

Sierra’s body jumped out like a thunderbolt from the other side of the throwing star. Sierra became two.

It was the power of Sierra’s newly acquired A-class skill, ‘Clone Magic’.

“It is a bucket through alter ego. It would have been effective had it not been for my spark.”

It should have worked pretty well against a normal opponent.

But this time the opponent was bad. No alter ego or anything can jump over this flame. Ideal with mana.

The flame of purification that burns mana vibrates violently to protect itself. Sierra was also in the state of seeing the power by blowing her own skill. However, Sierra, charging at Ignis, did not slow her down at all. Then, it was Ignis who was taken aback.

“What? Are you still not understanding the situation?”

Do you think you can defeat the flames with spirit?

If the ideal had been achieved through spirit alone, this world wouldn’t have rotted away like this.

Ignis felt both ridicule and pity at Sierra’s courageous and ignorant charge. It was as if he was seeing his past self in the way he charged without hesitation.

‘It’s just a random thought.’

It is forbidden to think about other things during battle. Because all variables come from carelessness.

“Drown in the flames.”

Whoop!

Fire swirled around Sierra. Sierra’s expression hardened. I don’t feel the heat, but my instincts warn me. That flame is dangerous. If you shower in those flames, you can’t escape death.

But Sierra trusted her John more than her own instincts. She didn’t care if John was wrong. As her own life was already for her John.

Wheein-!

Close your eyes and surrender to the power emitted from the robe. John smiled at him.

Sierra’s robes turned gray just before being entangled in blue flames. A gray shadow covered Sierra’s entire body.

“!?”

Blue flames pierce the Sierra. As if it were a ghost.

“What is this!?”

Sierra arrived right in front of Ignis before he knew it.

What was in her hand was the A-class item that Yohan had lent her, the Dagger of Ghosts.

“Whoops! Where’s that proud flame? I’ve come this far!”

The cursed weapon containing the many souls who lost their lives to the dagger pierced Ignis’ abdomen.

Push!

A hot pain felt in the abdomen hit Ignis’ entire body.
