Chapter 359: A field of flame
Idan, defending himself with his fiery wings, felt his defense getting weaker with each blow. And the number of tentacles was not decreasing, and if this continued, his defense would soon fall.
“If I’m constantly careful and hold back, I’ll never be able to achieve more, — Idan thought, remembering the recent battle with outsiders.
In that battle, he could have won quickly if he had used his Spirit Form. He had a fire source given to him by his master, but fearing that it was his last trump card, Idan did not use it. Even when Erza appeared, he did not have the opportunity to experience this power in action.
“Let’s do this,” Idan said, and using his summoning ability, he brought Ned back. He then pulled out a sealed box and removed the seal from it.
After removing the seal, a huge amount of fiery energy burst out. Idan instinctively began to absorb it, not letting it go to waste. The absorption process was easy and smooth.
The weakening protection of the fire wings, as Idan absorbed more and more energy, began to regain its lost strength, becoming even stronger. For Idan, in his Alpha of Fire form, absorbing such energy was comparable to just breathing fresh air while filling his lungs.
For the first time since acquiring his Spiritual Form, Idan called upon this power of his own free will.
Just like last time, his red hair burst into flames, and his physical body transformed into a body made of fire.
At the same moment, flames appeared around Idan, which instantly destroyed all the tentacles. But it didn’t stop there—the flames began to expand, filling the entire room and absorbing the strange dark flames of the torches.
“A field of flame, — Idan said, watching the flames engulf everything around him.
Idan noticed an unusual flame that was unlike anything he had seen before. It appeared immediately after his transformation, without his knowledge, and began to cover the entire room, simultaneously burning tentacles, dark blood on the floor and a black substance on the ceiling.
Idan was surprised that the flames destroyed only those objects that he considered enemies and that needed to be eliminated.
From the very beginning, Idan was a little afraid that the flame might harm Milena, but to his delight, it burned everything that held her back and began to eliminate the dark inscriptions on her body.
Watching the flames greedily devour all the black blood and black substance from the ceiling, Idan felt a mixture of excitement and anxiety.
He was worried that his strength was rapidly dwindling, and he was unable to maintain this shape for a long time without risking his life. As the System had warned, if he didn’t stop his Spirit Form or replenish it with new energy in time, after the energy from the Fire source ran out, it would start absorbing his life force.
“It is necessary to learn how to control the power of the flame as soon as possible in order to use the energy obtained from a limited source more efficiently,” Idan reflected, realizing that his inexperience leads to significant energy losses.
“I also need to curb this flame,” he said, watching the fire devour the last remnants of black blood and black substance on the ceiling with fierce thirst.
Idan, watching what was happening, remembered Milica’s words about how she proposed conquering two of the remaining eight Forbidden Zones: the Lava Lake and the Ice Caves.
After deciding to learn how to control his Spirit Form, Idan became even more interested in the Lava Lake.
“I’ll go there as soon as possible.”, — Idan thought, making a note. “I’m sure I can keep my Spirit Form active longer just by being in the Lava Lake territory, even without having to conquer it.”
When the flames around Idan had consumed everything, it needed and calmed down, Idan reversed his transformation and returned to human form.
“Wow! My clothes…” — only now did Idan notice that his clothes were intact. Remembering that the flames only destroyed what he wanted, Idan realized that his flames had not seen fit to devour his clothes. Discover more novels at novel✦fire.net
Satisfied that he wasn’t naked, Idan hurried to check on Milena’s condition.
“Phew… there’s a pulse, and it seems she’s still breathing…hmm…” his thoughts suddenly stopped, and he froze in disbelief.
He took a deep breath in and out.
“Can I still breathe?” Idan realized, feeling the strangeness of the situation. “But just recently, the whole room was ablaze with fire…”
Surprisingly, Idan realized that his flame not only destroyed everything he wanted, but also did not seem to require oxygen to maintain its existence.
“Ah, Idan, Idan,” Idan shook his head, trying to push these thoughts away from himself. He realized that he had begun to perceive what was happening again from the point of view of the old world, where fire without oxygen was impossible.
After the catastrophe and the change of the world, the habitual laws of their world had already changed.
Then he turned his attention to Milena, who, despite the fact that the flames of Idan destroyed all the black inscriptions and other alien objects, was in a deplorable state. She had no hair, her whole body was covered with scars, and she was unconscious.
Even her attractive long legs, which used to fascinate even him, were now disfigured.
Idan pulled out a cloth from the storage, covered Milena’s body with it, and, opening the Access Door, sent her inside, asking the awakened girls to look after her.
Having reached his goal, Idan left the room and went in search of the little fox, who immediately ran away as soon as the door opened.
“Coco?” he called, and the fox, hearing her name, did not keep herself waiting. She appeared in front of him, opened a rift, and jumped out.
{MHG: Belle, I found Milena, but I can’t say for sure that I saved her.}
{MBG: Dan, I saw her appear in the spatial storage. I have no words to describe my feelings…} Arabel sent messages. She couldn’t bear to see Milena. She couldn’t even imagine what Erza had gone through and what Erza wanted to do to her, forcing her to go through such an atrocity.
{MHG: Let’s leave this question for now. Have you talked to the boy yet?}
{MBG: Yes, I talked to him a little bit. At first he didn’t want to talk to me, but then I managed to get him to talk. I found out that the boy has an older sister who lives in this mansion.}
Arabel paused for a moment before sending the next message.
{MBG: You might be surprised, Dan, but we’ve already met his older sister.}
{MHG: Huh? Really?} — Idan was surprised.
{MBG: Yes, Dan, it’s true. His sister is the same Essora who brought us to Erza.}
