The moment the witch Natalie spat out the words.
Itâs as if time has stopped, and time around me flowed slowly.
And so, gradually, the world is covered in gray.
A creeping, unspoken fear crawls up my spine.
But that feeling of fear was only momentary.
Immediately, the world all turned to black and white, and the fear quickly disappeared.
The emotion itself slipped away from me.
I donât think anything.
There is no joy, no sadness, no fun, no pleasure, no fear, no anger, nothing to move the emotions.
A world of emptiness stretched out before me.
Here, life and death have no meaning.
This world is worthless, and so is my existence.
No reason to live, no reason to die.
If thereâs no point in even being me, then letâs abandon my consciousness, letâs give up my ego.
If there is no meaning to existence, then there is no meaning to life.
In the first place, even death is meaningless.
Alive or dead, everything is meaningless, worthless.
Iâm falling everywhere.
I tried to let go of everything â thatâs when.
ââ- flame-god-armedâ
I was spitting out words against my will.
A tremendous heat clings to my body.
Overflowing from the bottom of my heart is a fierce emotion that will never go away.
The anger, it just comes out of me without limit.
I, Owen, have exploded in indignation.
Donât give up your feelings. Youâre me.
The other me revives my emotions with indignation.
My emotions exploded and I was filled with power from deep within my body.
The power of the flame god Ifrit has been released.
Immediately after, as soon as I hit the ground, a cloud of dust flew.
There was no pain from the impact.
I am protected by the flames of karma that cover my entire body.
Now Iâm in a state where my whole body is dripping with magic power even when Iâm not doing anything.
It consumes a lot of magic power, and the time it takes to maintain the Flame God Armament is not very long.
Additionally, if I cast a powerful spell while armed, the time will be even shorter.
I turned to the witch Natalie and held out my arms.
âExtremely large fireball.â
The fireball shot from both of my arms is big enough to swallow a person whole.
The energy contained is also tremendous in proportion to its size.
The witch Natalie makes a jet-black interdimensional space appear.
The fireball is swallowed by the darkness of another dimension.
ââgravitational release.â
There was a dull thud, and then the earth beneath my feet split open.
With my freakish leg power, I flew high into the sky.
The Flame God Armament put a huge strain on my body, causing my muscles to scream.
Instantly approaching the witch Natalie, I point my index finger at her.
Bullets clad in red-hot flames fly towards the witch Natalie.
The atmosphere in front of the witch Natalieâs eyes shook, however, a red bullet pierced through the distorted space.
For the first time, the witch Natalie moved her expression and showed pain.
I continue to fire the scarlet bullet at the witch Natalie.
The witch Natalie stopped defending, and although she avoided it, a red bullet pierced her body.
With the witch Natalieâs movements slowing down, I close the distance in front of her and tightly clench my right fist, which is tinged with flame.
A fist of blistering fire entered the witch Natalieâs belly.
The witch Natalie coughed up blood and immediately afterwards fell to the earth with a roar.
But it still doesnât bring her down.
The witch Natalie immediately gets up and stares at me blankly.
I pointed the palms of my arms at the witch Natalie.
Now Iâm going to use a big move that could kill her.
If I donât take on the challenge with that kind of determination, Iâll never be able to defeat the witch Natalie.
In a battle where a momentâs delay in decision-making can be fatal, there is no time to worry.
I have a responsibility as a two-star and as a first-rate wizard.
âRage burns like eternal fire, unleashing its scorching incarnationâ the fire god Ifrit.â
A fierce fire carrying indignation shook the atmosphere, roared, and was unleashed.
A mass of condensed flame approaches the witch Natalie.
The witch Natalie created an interdimensional space and tried to swallow the flames.
However, an enormous amount of energy that cannot be contained in a different space breaks through the infinite space.
The witch Natalie, wrapped in flames, screams and falls to the ground.
I hoped that the witch would disappear from Natalieâs body and she would regain consciousness.
My vision shakes, groggily.
I consumed most of my magic power and fell into a state of magic deficiency.
I disarmed the Flame God Armament, but the recoil sent a sharp pain through my head.
I slowly descend to the ground, holding my temples.
And the moment I tried to approach the fallen Natalie -.
Natalie the witch groans.
A moment later, she began to absorb the miasma from the surrounding space.
