Chapter 297 - Ifrits Determination (2/2)
”I have to use all three energies instead of a single one or the other separately… Magic and Martial Arts… just like Chaos-sama does it but different at the same time… Chaos-sama uses pure Mana to do everything, but I have Qi and Aether as well… I think I can bring forth something of my own creation… Ungh…! But I have to persevere…” he thought to himself.
”Ifrit…” sighed Lilith.
Seeing her childhood friend pushing through his very limits was not something abnormal to Lilith, she had been seeing him foolishly do all these sorts of things since the two were very little.
Lilith recalled that her own powers might also require some polish, so she also decided to meditate for the moment, gathering her Mana across her body, and even beginning to use Qi and Aether, imitating Ifrit a little bit… A Succubus using Qi and Aether was certainly something very strange… but Lilith had already gone past a stereotypical Succubus, and was aiming to become stronger, even if her race was specialized into seducing and extracting energy through intercourse.
…
Meanwhile, Abyss and the rest of the group gathered near the giant grilled catfish in the back, which was slowly being cooked, the scent was rather tasty and Abyss herself realized she was very hungry, and might partake into the lunch later.
”As of now, is there any clues where the giant frog might be?” wondered Belphegor.
”The giant frog… it is most likely looking for its egg, even now… If it can truly track it, it might be following us and trying to find us.” Said Yuki.
”That's true… if she could truly track the egg, that would actually make things easier for us…” sighed Belphegor.
”But where else could it be?” wondered Yuki.
”Hmm… I remember hearing from one of the servants we captured that he spoke about a ”giant frog destroying the factory” or something, most likely trying to tell me anything he knew within all the memories he had fragmented… at that time we were rather flustered, so I wasn't able to properly assess this info… Could it be of some help? But there must be many factories around, right?” asked Edward.
”Y-You should had tell that earlier!” sighed Abyss.
”Sorry, I was very tired, and my mind honestly felt rather dizzy… Using a lot of Mana exhaust me…” sighed Edward.
”O-Oh… So that was the case…” said Abyss.
”A factory… I remember there was one near here… Maybe we could start here, if the giant frog wasn't so far from our previous positions, and she moved here to destroy a factory… She might even be closer to us than we thought…” said Nesephise.
A spark of hope emerged inside of everyone's hearts as they heard Nesephise's words.
