Chapter 72 (2/2)

However, if I'm to be able to do this, I'll be able to expand the military force hereafter. I wonder what will happen if I make the dead spirits hold the artificial magic crystals that I created with this power. Well, more importantly, for now, I have to control this flame that's rampaging violently.

“Humph, ignoring ME huh. Enough, die! Gale of Holy Flame!”

Suzaku flutters the flaming wings that grow on his back greatly and releases flaming wind. The flaming wind is scorching me, but from having received it on my body, I began to understand the sensation of the flame that I absorbed. If I carry on to compress Eclipse Sol like this……I did it.

In my hand, I was grabbing a magic crystal that's clad in a blazing flame that's flaring in black. Kukuu, with this, I too am able to use a new power.

I pour magic power into the magic crystal that I hold in my hand and clad my body in flame like Suzaku, who flies in the sky. It's just that the only thing that's different from Suzaku's flame is, in contrast to Suzuka's s.h.i.+ning flame, mine was a jet black flame that burns ominously.

I thoroughly burn the flaming wind that approaches once again with the black flame. What, his flame is only to this extent huh. I gather flame in my hand

“Black Flame Bird”

and release a bird of fire. Suzaku is surprised by the jet black bird of fire that suddenly approaches, but he blocks with his flaming wings. However

“uu! Hot! Hot Hot! Wh, why!? Why is it hot!?”

Suzaku who flies around in the sky at the unexpected heat. Is there something to be that fl.u.s.tered about? Even though my black flame simply surpa.s.sed your flame.

I pour even more magic power into the magic crystal and change its appearance into a sword. A sword of darkness that's clad in jet black flame. This is good. I held that sword aloft and threw it at Suzaku who flies in the sky.

“Black Flame Slash”

A slash of black flame that was released flies straight towards Suzaku. However, Suzaku doesn't get done it just like that either.

“Kuu, me……me who's clad in flame, like I'll lose to some other flamee! Phoenix Sword!”

He catches my slash of black flame with his flaming sword that s.h.i.+nes brightly. Suzaku's flame gradually s.h.i.+nes brighter and swallows my slash. And then

“Haah! Ha, hahaa, hahaha! How's that! My flame's the strongest! The power of the Vermillion Bird that I possess is the stronge……stt!?

It had swallowed the black flame. Suzaku, who I guess is that happy that he won against my black flame, shouts. However, I'm not interested in vying through our flames or whatnot. The weapon that I had thrown towards Suzaku right when I released the slash, pierces Suzaku from behind.

Suzaku drops to the ground while he's glaring at me. Now then, I guess I'll finish him off and take the jewel or whatever. When I thought that and was about to get close, Suzaku's body bursts into flame. And then, the weapon that had stabbed him was coming out and his wound was healing. That's also the Vermillion Bird or whatever's power huh.

“……Haa……haa. I died because of you, didn't I. I'd have been dead if I didn't use the Immortal Bird's healing. s.h.i.+t, my magic power is also gone because of that”

Heh, that's an interesting power. I want it even more now. However, a large bird flew over from the sky before I got close. That bird grabbed Suzaku with its claws and flew off as it is. I wonder if that's a Fire Bird. A bird that resides in the volcanic region. Tsk, he got away huh.

I wanted the jewel, but I guess it's whatever. First, let's end this battle. For the sake of that

“There it is, there it is”

I'll make use of the lynchpin.
