Chapter 255 – ALL EXTERMINATING FLAMES (2/2)

「H-How?」

I only need to burn it with flames.

The first magic that I learnedーーI received with my body after coming to this world is Flames Magic.

If I use all the magic powers I possess at once, thenーー

『Shall I lend you my powers?』

「Do you have a good idea?」

『Not exactly an idea, but it’s the powers I regained』

「He〜」

『I could use it myself, but……I’ll give it you. Make that Saintess retreat』

「Melissa, move back. I’ll prepare to do it」

「U-Un. I got it」

Melissa obediently moved back as she was told. After taking a few steps back, she tilted her head and walked a few more.

「Is that enough?」

『No problem. Are you ready?』

「I can guess what it is, do it」

『Kukuku』

Eleanor laughed, she seemed so cheerful, yet so evil.

The next instant, my body was enveloped by flames.

It was the flames released by Eleanor, it was dark flames.

「Kakeru?!」

Melissa called out with worry. I raised my hand to stop her.

There are two ways to learn magic in this world. One of them is this.

If one is able to survive after receiving a magic attack, and if that one possesses the aptitude, then they would learn it themselves.

And, all of my aptitudes are multiplied 777x, a state where I could learn any magic as long as I get hit by it.

The only thing left is to endure.

Eleanor’s dark flames were more terrifying than the usual.

It doesn’t only burn in the surface, I could even feel pain from deep within my bones.

But I endured, I endured while releasing all of my strength.

The flames continued to burn for a while. But finally, it was finally extinguished.

「Are you alright, Kakeru?」

「You found out what I’m doing halfway right?」

「But it’s still worrying. It looked so……it was simply terrifying」

「It’s Eleanor’s flames after all. Just its looks are terrifying」

『Hmph, what do you mean just its looks』

Eleanor protested. Of course, she wasn’t seriously angry.

「Now, let’s do it」

I once again faced towards the water source.

I reached out my hand, using the dark flames that I learned from Eleanor.

Dark flames only the size of a spark slowly flicked while it advanced, but the moment it entered the water source,

*BOOOSH!!!*

The flames instantly surged.

It burned upwards as if the ordinary water turned into gasoline.

The water source was instantly enveloped by dark flames.

The water evaporated as soon as it touched the flames, but it did not end with just that. It continued to burn the ground.

That only happened for five seconds, but the water source turned into a lake that was completely dried.

But although all of the polluted water was extinguished, it does not mean that the water source was destroyed.

New, fresh water quickly sprang out.

「It should be alright now」

「Kakeru’s really amazing……I couldn’t imagine this way of solving it」

“It’s all your fault”, I thought, but I didn’t say it out.

Instead,

「I’ll make you pay for it, personally」

「Un! Gladly」

The Saintess that I pulled into an embrace nodded with her happiest smile.
