Episode 22: I'll get revenge on Beef Stew!

"He's coming! Everyone, be on alert!"

　After Uta declares his intentions seriously, "Red Flame" shouts at his subordinates.

"He may be acting dumb, but... this kid is strong. Don't ever let your guard down!"

"Red Fire" braced itself and glared at Uta, who was being burned by the flames it had unleashed.

Among the members of "Flare's Hands," "Red Flame" specializes in offensive power.

　There was no way that anyone could survive after being hit by that much flame. Uta was an enemy well worth being wary of.

"But you are only human after all. You are no match for us, who have been given the power of the gods."

　"Red Fire" declared with confidence.

　No matter how strong he is, there must be a limit to Uta's power.

　There is no way that a human being who is not a god could possess infinite magical power.

　If you keep killing endlessly and single-mindedly, eventually you'll run out of magic and die.

"Then we will just keep killing until then! Let the flames burn you until you forget how to come back to life!"

"Sub-leader, later!"

Green Fire yelled.

"Red Fire" instantly jumped forward, and Uta appeared in the place where he had been moments ago.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

"Too slow!"

The "Red Fire" emits flames once again.

　However, by that time Uta had been transferred.

"That way!"

Green Fire shouted, pointing to a spot a short distance away.

　As expected, Uta appears there.

"Hk...!"

"Red Fire" tries to unleash flames, but Uta disappears once again.

　He appears in another place, but within seconds he is teleported again.

"That way... no, that way. Here, there, there, which way, here, there, there, there... oh my goodness! How many times have I been teleported!?"

The Green Fire accurately predicts where Uta will be transported to, but Uta is transported without staying in the same place for even a second.

　He points here and there over and over again, but gradually his movements slow down.

"Don't mess with me... How can you use teleportation magic like that...!"

"Green Fire" gritted his teeth and distorted his expression behind his hood.

　Normally, spatial magic such as teleportation is an advanced technique that consumes a lot of magical power.

　Even Green Fire, who claims to be the leading expert in the field, cannot use it multiple times a day.

　And yet...Uta has teleported ten, even twenty times.

"That's impossible... This brat has mastered spatial magic more than I have?!"

　It was a fact that shattered the pride of Green Fire.

　It was simply unacceptable to be inferior in an area of expertise to a human who was deemed an enemy of God.

　As he continued to teleport like this, eventually Uta's speed exceeded the perception of the Green Fire.

"Hk...!"

"Got it."

"Green Fire" is grabbed by the scruff of the neck.

　If Uta were to use his power, the Green Fire's body would instantly be reduced to dust.

"Pure White Purifying FireInnocent Fire"

　However, before Uta could use his power, pure white flames spread all around.

　The one who held up a short staff and cast a spell was a small, robed figure who had been standing in the background until now without joining the battle... "White Fire."

　The pure white flames spread in a circle with the "White Fire" at the center, as if they were trying to cleanse the world.

"My flame negates all magic."

"White Fire" speaks loudly.

　The voice was high-pitched and tinkling.

　Although her face is obscured by the robe, it is clear that the "White Fire" is in fact a woman.

"Go away, filth. Go away, evil. Let my pure form appear among the pure fires..."

"Here goes."

"Show me………………huh?"

The "Green Fire" turned to dust.

　Without even the time to scream, He die suddenly and unexpectedly.

　Both Uta and the "Green Fire" are inside a circle decorated with white flames.

　The effects of magic are sealed away...or so it should be.

"'White Fire'! What are you doing?!"

"Huh... Ah... Are you kidding me?!"

Hearing the yelling of the "Red Fire", the "White Fire" became visibly shaken.

"I-I activated my power properly! This can't be, this can't be happening! My "Pure White Purifying Flame" is even able to erase the leader's magic...!"

"Tch...!"

　The ``Green Fire'' I brought along as a countermeasure against spatial magic has died.

　『White Fire』, which should be able to nullify all magic, is useless.

　Having accepted this fact, Red Fire acted quickly.

"Stop them there! Buy yourself even one second more time!"

"Huh!?"

　He left his subordinates, who were shocked and stunned, and fled alone.
