Chapter 179 - Phoenix's Daughter (6)
“Hoohp······!”
The shock made her gut wrench, and it made Etna gasp.However, the spell had been initiated already.Even if the spell was stopped, the Demonic energy would rampage more within her body.This was why Artpe poured more Mana into his staff in order to speed up the spell.
“Oooh.It is making me nauseous.I think I’m going to throw up….!”
“It won’t take long.Vadinet, you should get ready to heal her.Sienna, you should capture the rampaging Demonic energy.”
“Yes!”
“Leave it to me!”
“Nyaa?”
“You should just be on standby!”
“I hate you, master.Nyaa!”
There had been a lot of experiments up until that point.He even did a clinical test on a Demon stronger than Etna.Etna had fire energy within her that was an unpredictable variable.The fire energy won’t help in the process of converting the Demonic energy, but it also won’t actively interfere with his work.
‘Etna stores all her Mana as heat energy.To be precise, her fire is mixed with Demonic energy.It is neither pure fire energy or pure Demonic energy.She is unstable at a fundamental level….’
This was why Artpe had always been puzzled by her.She was born as a Demon, yet she was having a hard time finding an equilibrium for her body temperature.If she was a Demon born with the ability to control fire, she should be able control the fire within her.She would be like Petra.Petra was able to decrease the temperature by changing the property of his Demonic energy.Shouldn’t she be able to do that?
However, it wasn’t like that at all.In Petra’s case, it felt as if he was changing an A to an A-.In Etna’s case, it felt as if she was changing an A to a B.However, she wasn’t able to fully convert an A to a B.As a result, the energy she emitted felt closer to an A+B.
The fact that she was capable of using her explosive flame was amazing.However, Artpe had always assumed that fire wasn’t her true nature.
However, he had been successful in acquiring an answer not too long ago.Demonic energy was a twisted form of Mana.Demons were modified humans.Basically, he had to think of her as a human born with the power of pure fire.However, she had inherited the blood of the Demon race, so she was out of sync.
This might be why she was the most different in nature compared to the other Demons.The Demons were fallen beings that always possessed power that befits them.She might be the only Demon that was born with a power that went against the fundamental nature of a Demon.
‘In the process of turning Demons back into human beings, their power will be reduced.In Etna’s case, she might become stronger if she is able to shed her Demonic energy.No, it finally means she will be able to regain her true form.’
“Etna, do you feel it too?”
“Ahh-ooooooh!It hurts so much that I have no idea what’s going on!”
He decided to give up on getting an answer from her.Artpe relied solely on his magic tome as he surrounded his magic around her.He did it to cause a change within her.He focused on the reclamation magic.
Originally, she was supposed to be made out of pure fire energy.He was getting rid of the erroneous Record, and he was restoring her twisted body.In the process of doing this, he was displacing the Demonic energy, which had been surrounding her body, with fire energy.
“Oooh, ooh-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
A fierce wave of fire exited her body.Artpe was trying to return her body into her original form.His reclamation magic was reducing the Demonic energy as it let her fire energy flourish.The Demonic energy exited her body with the flame.The flame was burning the Demonic energy.
On the other hand, the remaining Demonic energy started to resist against being expelled.The Demonic energy started to inflated its size within her body.The Demonic energy started to claim her bones, muscles and organs for itself.In an attempt to preserve its identity, the Demonic energy was lashing out.
“I’ll purify it!”
“You should purify only the Demonic energy that’s emitted from her body!”
“Oppa, I feel Demonic energy moving within unni’s body….”
“I want you to suppress it.We can’t damage Etna’s body.”
Artpe was directing the reclamation of her boyd.Vadinet and Sienna busily worked under the supervision of Artpe.The Demonic energy let out a dark light, and Artpe’s Mana gave off a purple light.Sienna and Vadinet let out a brilliant white light.All of their powers mixed to create a powerful wave of Mana.
“Ooh-ook.This is…..”
Artpe was sure his spell would be successful.However, he was unsure as to whether Etna’s weakened body would be able to endure the shock created by the reclamation magic.
Still, all he had to do was make sure that she was still breathing at the end.After her humanification was complete, Vadinet could heal her.He had pushed ahead under this assumption….As it turns out, his assumption had been entirely wrong.
“Hoo-ahhhhhhhhhh!”
“Kyahhhhhk!”
“Oppa, what is that!?”
The flame exploded.The glorious flame was clashing against the Demonic energy.However, the Demonic energy and the flame energy wasn’t weakening each other.The flame was continuously increasing in size.The blameless field of ice was being melted away.
“Hoo······ Ha-ahhhhhhhhhh!”
The fire was Etna.As the fire energy became larger than the Demonic energy, it quickly moved through Etna’s body.The fire energy started fixing her wounded and weakened body.
No, it might not be precise to say her body was being fixed.As the fire energy raced through her body, her body was turning into pure flame!
However, Artpe couldn’t investigate it.He wanted to use his Read All Creation ability to check on Etna’s status, but the Demonic energy was making its last-ditch effort.As if it didn’t want to lose, the fire raged to match the Demonic energy.The magic tome was in a precarious situation, so he had to put fully concentrate to take care of the magic tome.
“The flame······.”
“It’s incredible.It is as if her body is made out of fire.”
“So we just need to help the flames prevail?”
Artpe decided that the flame wouldn’t harm Enta, who was its owner.Artpe sharpened his Mana as he attacked the Demonic energy, which was opposing the flame energy.After receiving Artpe’s permission, Roa also helped out.
The reclamation magic was purifying the Demonic energy, but it was impossible to change all the Demonic energy into fire energy.Artpe let go of the Demonic energy that he couldn’t change.He focused on changing her body at a fundamental level.If the vessel remained intact, he believed it could be refilled.
“Hoohp······ Ha-ahhhhhhhhhh!”
He made the right call.The magic tome let out a last round of blinding light, then the fire energy accepted Artpe’s magic.In one go, the Demonic energy was purified!
“Nyaa!”
“It is no use crying over spilt milk, you dork.”
Of course, this was possible, because Artpe had used his reclamation magic.However, it was also true that the high purity of Etna’s flame power had helped.
“Artpe-nim, should I heal that woman…..”
“I don’t think so.Instead…Barrier!”
The magic tome had finished its job, so it had been descending from the air.Artpe quickly put away the magic tome as he gripped his staff.He created his strongest barrier.Afterwards, an enormous explosion of flame washed over the barrier.
“Gyaa-ahhhhhhhh!”
