36 Chapter 33 - The Other Side of the Coin (1/2)
The Undead Titan roared and smashed its feet down on the remnants of the burning village, scattering the entire party to each side due to the shockwave. Griff managed to hold on to the ground by grabbing a pole and sticking it into the earth, stabilizing his stance.
As the monstrosity stopped to see the dust settle, Griff ignited his right arm with his black flames and used the pole he had used for balance as a javelin, throwing a flaming spear right at the kneecap of the Titan.
Due to being undead, the being showed no pain. The flames had managed to impact a significant amount of damage... yet the monstrosity simply regenerated its flesh.
Waving its large hand it tossed down several undead to keep Griff and the others at bay as it slowly turned around and started walking in the direction of Alfrum.
Reiner, who had crashed into a random house, had slowly stood up and watched as the undead spawned from the sky.
”I don't think I'm going to be able to put a dent on something so large with only martial arts and strengthening magic. Griff, Selena! Both of you can use flame magic to at least slow that thing down. Me and Rin can keep these undead at bay together.”
Rin, who stood from where she had fallen nodded.
”If I push myself to my limits I can use the spell ”Gust of Wind” to speed myself up as well. I can definitely run much faster than that thing. I can get help from several adventurers on the way. You two, go!”
Selena, who was surprisingly uninjured, presumably because of the glowing stone necklace around her neck, nodded and ran towards Griff.
”Damn Griff. That's one badass spell.”
She commented on how Griff's black flames were covering the entirety of his body. The intensity of the flames prevented her from seeing that his hair had turned charcoal black and his eyes had a different glint in them, but that was not a concern as of the moment.
Griff, with a slightly sharper tone in his voice, most probably a side effect of... his magic's intensity, merely said:
”I don't think that should be our focus now. You're supposed to be a professional, right? Focus on the target.”
Selena slowly blushed with a baffled expression as she felt her authority as his senior had just been shattered. He was a cheerful and laidback person... this wasn't exactly like him. Muttering a couple things, she grabbed her bow and started running, dodging the slow undead.
Following suit, Griff started running after her, but he was burning anything that came near him.

A voice that Griff wasn't exactly sure that belonged to his subconsciousness spoke in his head. No, more like pre-determined knowledge. Something you could see in magic text books, but he never read something like this...
'I got nothing to lose at this point. A little experimenting will do.'
Griff started condensing the flames in his hands and his feet slowly, feeling the energy build up... the energy was slowly spiraling out of control... the flames heating up to unfamiliar degrees to Griff... and suddenly... it ignited, creating a shockwave, sending Griff flying about a dozen feet!

”I'm FLYING!”
He was shocked, but he was nor going to lose concentration, lest he become paste! He condensed more flames and started propelling himself! And as he did... a new magic spell appeared in his head.
”Unknown Magic: Empyrean Body of the Forge!”
This was... level 4 magic. Master class magic, something Griff had no experience with but by his willpower and conviction created it! No, he FORGED it!
His entire body erupted in black flames but it could also be noticed his skin was turning black as armor like images appeared on his skin, slowly engulfing his body, until nothing could be seen of the man underneath.
