67 66. Tenth Trial "Purgatory".txt (2/2)

With the white flame dissipating, I see one opportunity to win.

My magic is compatible with flame magic.

I'm sure of it.

Flame magic generates heat by vibrating, and it can be said that my magic, which suppresses vibrations, is the weak point of flame magic.

''Good!''

I thought the odds were stacked against me, and I turned my face to Maria.

And I was eager to dissipate all of Maria's flames - my legs were intertwined.

''--What?''

'Hmmm, I'm surprised you interfered with my flame: ....... I'm surprised, Christ. But how much magic did you lose to extinguish one of my magic?

Arti laughs.

I hurriedly check the status.

[Status]

HP286/372 MP91/657-200

I am appalled.

It's too unprofitable.

Just by extinguishing the white flame earlier, my MP has been reduced by about 200.

That's roughly a third of all MP.

''--Don't ignore it!　Master!

To my horror, Maria's flaming snake attacks me.

I reach out my hand to dissipate it, but I stop myself.

If I extinguish this flame here, I will run out of MP. If that happens, I'll lose the means to counter the Arti.

In the first place, it's doubtful that physical attacks would even work against Arti. It's very possible that the only thing that will work is freezing magic, due to the fact that the body is irregularly shaped, just like Tida's. If you don't have a minimum amount of MP left, the fight itself will be a dead end.

I sense that my chances of winning the battle are fading, and I quickly say back to Maria.

I know it's useless, but I appeal to her with my mouth instead of with force. The high temperature and impatience were robbing me of my judgment.

'Maria!　Just calm down!　I'm going to die if I don't do this!　If those flames hit you directly, there's no way you'll be safe!

'I'm fine!　If your master's limbs are burned out, I'll take care of them. ......!　If you lose a limb, you can still have me. ...... I am strong. Thanks to the master's help. With this strength, you can even make money in the labyrinth. No problem, in that house!　Let's live alone for the rest of our lives: ......!

Saying that, Maria pointed to the house that was on the verge of burning down and gave a big smile.

A chill runs down my spine in horror as I fight in this scorching field.

There is no hope of persuasion.

Seeing Maria's smile now, I understood it.

I'm speechless and move to restrain Maria using only my physical abilities.

However, the Arti behind me won't allow it.

''-- 'Sprouting Nativity Flame,' 'All Hallows' Torch of Original Original Sin!　--Januablaze of the Opening Flame (Januablaze)!

At the same time, a flower of fire blooms from underneath Maria's feet.

I click my tongue and jump away again.

The flaming flower spreads its lily-like petals and attacks me. Inevitably, I have no choice but to move away from Maria. The flaming flower wriggles further, and something scatters in the center of the flower. It dances like pollen and falls to the ground around it, causing another flower to bloom.

Convinced that it was wide-ranging magic, I tried to get further away and was blocked in the rear by a wall of flames.

I was surrounded by flames in all directions, and there was no way to escape completely.

In front of the field of flames spreading in a rat race, I think of a way to break the deadlock in my mind.

I check all the cards in my hand and look for an effective method. I try various combinations of cards, but I realize that none of them can break the current situation.

The brain, spinning at high speed, foresees death.

Together with the sensation of something crawling down your back.

--The skill ”? is getting close to me.

I won't admit it.

That's the only thing I will never admit.

If I admit that and allow it, I won't be able to say anything to Arti, Maria, Lastiara, or anyone else.

With that thought in mind, I search for it.

I search for a way out.

And then I notice one hand that I haven't touched.

I'm going to give all my skill points to freeze magic!

All skill points will be applied to freeze magic.

The 'display' appears on the retina.

[Skill]

Freeze Magic 2.06+1.10

11 skill points that were completely untouched are now added to freeze magic.

Additionally, he also rescinds the Connection spell, which had a -200 MP correction applied to it.

I pour all of my magic power into the Freeze Magic.

The chill of my deployed magic, Dimensional Winter (Die Winter), intensifies.

My understanding of icy magic deepens and my grasp of molecular vibrations increases.

How can we stop the vibration of the world? We get a glimpse of that magical path.

'Freeze!　Freeze eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee--!

All magic is unlocked and focused only on the cold air.

An unprecedented amount of cold air is being refined.

You will wear that cold air like a robe and prepare for the approaching flames.

In other words, it's like a magical ”absolute robe”.

He also took out a cloth from his ”belongings”, slashed a water bottle, soaked it and put it on his head like a cloak.

--and run.

He looks for a thin field of flaming flowers and runs through it.

But the petals of the flames spread out to catch me. Some of them touch my body, and I moan.

''--gghhhh, ugh!

The petals of the flames sticking to his back burn his back.

The cloth on my back scorches away, and the flames directly scorch my flesh.

There is no longer any sensation of heat. There is no pain. Only danger signals reverberated through my brain.

Ignoring all of that, I run.

On the way, Maria, walking freely in the flames, stands in my way.

But I couldn't leave her alone. With my shoulder ripped open by the flaming sword, I run next to it and head for Arti at a glance.

''They're here!　Christ!

Arti laughs as he sees me rushing forward with abandon.

It was the same smile as Tida's sometime ago.

''Artiiiiiii--!

I scream.

I scream, burning my mouth, burning my throat, burning my body, burning everything in my body.

'The Almighty Fire that Shakes the World!　”All things passionate and red in intent!

Arti screams and recites.

Like me, he burns through all of it, screaming and chanting magic.

Perhaps the moment I reach Arti, Arti's magic will be complete.

Still, I have no choice but to go on.

The few remaining lives are appealing to me that there is only this moment.

''Blood-spurting burning flame, Red Lotus Windflower's discrepancy is the figure!　'The world is burning now' -!

I run with the intention of jumping into the completed flame magic.

''--The Scorching World of Skeletal Flame (In Lavos Blaze)!

The completed flame was a small sun-like sphere.

The moment it shone like a light, all of my vision was engulfed in flames.

All of my sensory organs lost their functions and my whole body felt like it was being burned.

Even so, I moved forward through it.

I knew I had no choice but to move forward in order to protect myself.

I forced my burnt limbs to move, protecting my head with my left hand and slashing at Arti's torso with my right hand.

Then, with the momentum of the slash, I slipped behind Arti and moved further forward.

As a result, I receive a small amount of heat from the sun from my back - I focus the cold air backwards and try to run through it as if I were running away.

But the heat and shock rushing from my back is tremendous. I can't even passive, and I'm bounced off the ground like a ball.

Although the cloak I was wrapped in had burned up, the enhanced freezing magic had allowed me to avoid a fatal wound.

And I can still feel it in my hand.

Indeed, I had slashed Alti.

I slowly stand up and check the situation of Arti behind me.

There was Arti standing there, slashed diagonally from shoulder to waist.

He's smiling at me while holding the flowing blood with his hands.

The blood is burning.

Even though he had suffered a slash that would have been a serious wound for a human, Arti was laughing.

It was enough of a smile to convince me that the battle wasn't over.

I chanted a spell to replace my empty MPs, cutting down on my life.

''Magic 《Dimension Decisive Operations (Gradiate) ......''

HP238/366 MP0/657--

It's diminishing ......, but not yet.

It's not over yet.

I remembered the time I had to deal with Tida one day, and I silently watched my life chipping away.
