Chapter 249: Pinnacle of Flame and Wind
TL : Cnine
ED/PF :
Part 1
The giant dragon raised its head midair and unleashed a torrent of scorching flames all at once.
The flames licked the earth, turning the monsters below into charcoal. The giant dragon kept breathing fire while flying in the air, incinerating the monsters beneath it from the sky.
Over ten million insect-like monsters sank into a sea of hellfire.
The unquenchable flames spread, setting the mountains and forests ablaze.
The giant dragon soaring through the sky gazed leisurely upon the hellish scene below.
This would significantly reduce the number of enemies. With that kind of consideration, Yuuma turned his gaze toward the 【Green King】. Just as he gathered magic in his mouth to launch a fireball directly, the Green King also began to move.
Gathering magical power into its large, graceful wings, it flapped them powerfully. Winds swirled around, eventually forming sharp "Wind Blades" that came slashing toward the giant dragon.
It seemed to be using its wings to invoke magic.
Yuuma let out a roar and deployed a flame barrier around him. The raging flames erased the incoming "Wind Blades".
No matter how powerful a wind magic may be, as long as it was made of air, it could be burned.
Yuuma once again gathered flames within his mouth, compressed them, then unleashed them. A fireball with power equivalent to a nuclear bomb.
The Green King flapped its wings multiple times, creating a "Vacuum Barrier" around itself. In addition, it deployed a thick wind barrier, forming a double-layered defense against the attack.
The moment the fireball touched the wind, it triggered a massive explosion.
The impact of the explosion was so powerful that it felt as if the sky had been blown away. The winged insects around the Green King were reduced to dust before they could comprehend what had happened, and even that dust was obliterated by the scorching heat.
The sky was dyed crimson red, and the explosion's roar and shockwave traveled for dozens of kilometers.
Countless giant embers fell from the sky, scorching the land even further.
Beyond the burning sky, Yuuma narrowed his eyes and caught sight of the 【Green King】 flapping its wings. It survived the explosion.
A vacuum barrier blocks out flames. While other monsters could be defeated, taking down the【Green King】 wouldn’t be that easy.
Even so, Yuuma had no doubt that he would win.
Fire and wind. In terms of compatibility, fire should be overwhelmingly stronger. Thus, the nemesis of the 【Green King】 was the 【Red King】.
---Let’s overwhelm that guy with brute force!
Yuuma flapped his wings and charged toward the Green King. The 【Green King】 moved its wings like a conductor waving a baton, commanding the insects around it to move.
Once again, a massive swarm of winged insects attacked.
Yuuma calmly gathered flames in his mouth. No matter how many of these enemies there were, they were no match for him. He unleashed a breath of fire from his mouth.
The unleashed flames engulfed the swarm of insects and continued straight toward the 【Green King】.
The 【Green King】 ascended rapidly, evading the flames, and from a considerable height, flapped its wings to invoke its magic. This time, multiple gigantic tornadoes appeared, their tips taking the shape of dragon-like faces.
As the 【Green King】 waved its wings like a conductor, multiple tornado dragons swooped down toward Yuuma.
The tornadoes came attacking, twisting like snakes.
Yuuma engulfed his body in intense flames, trying to blow them away, but the "Wind Dragons" bit onto the flame barrier.
That might be the 【Wind Magic of 3rd Level】.
As Yuuma shook his head in annoyance, the surrounding flames crackled and exploded.
Few dragons were caught in the blast and blasted into nothingness.
――Exploding Barrier――
An even stronger defensive measure nullified the attack of the 【Green King】.
Now that he could freely control the flames, it felt like he could do anything. Feeling this way, Yuuma once again kneaded magical power in his mouth.
A mass of magical power, compressed even further and faster than before.
That magical power was transformed into a sphere that was comparable to a nuclear warhead and spewed out three times in succession toward the【Green King】.
The Green King was not going to stay still either.
It conjured numerous giant spheres around it with a single flap of its beautiful yet ominous wings.
---Vacuum spheres. Is it planning to block the explosions with those?
――Fine, bring it on!!!
The moment the fireballs and the vacuum spheres collided, a massive explosion erupted, the blast of the explosion was so strong as if the sky itself was about to shatter.
The heat rays reduced the nearby monsters to ashes and painted the sky red. Thick black smoke billowed into the air, while embers and ash rained down upon the ground.
The explosion seemed to have incinerated everything. However, within the scorching inferno, there were still creatures that had survived. The 【Red King】 and the 【Green King】.
The two supreme creatures that stood at the apex of their respective attributes cloaked themselves in wind and flames, soaring through the sky at high speed.
They clashed as red and green flashes, repelling each other before colliding again. With every impact, fierce flames scattered, and tempestuous winds howled like a raging storm.
The flames that fell to the ground spread to the nearby monsters, igniting them and causing explosions that expanded the range of destruction.
The winds that scattered in all directions tore through the land along with the monsters, leaving deep scars on the ground. Those scars extended well over several hundred meters.
This was the battle between the apex of "Fire" and "Wind".
The clash between the strongest 【King】 caused massive shockwaves, and the magic they unleashed dealt devastating damage to the surrounding monsters.
The fireball unleashed by the Red King instantly vaporized insect-like monsters in the far distance, while the wind blades released by the Green King sliced through monsters hundreds of kilometers away.
The battle, surpassing human comprehension, grew even fiercer, with shockwaves echoing across the skies of India.
◇◇◇
Anik and the members of Makamayuri (Peacock King), who had been evacuating, were brought to a halt by the battle that transcended human recognition above the sky.
「Is this something that humans can truly accomplish!? It’s like watching a battle between gods straight out of mythology!」
Anik furrowed his eyebrows as he watched the tornadoes forming in the mountain valleys. Several massive tornadoes that looked like paths connected the heavens and the earth, lifting soil and trees into the air.
It was likely the Green King's magic. That was what Anik thought, but in the next moment, his vision was dyed red.
Countless tornadoes ignited, blazing fiercely with roaring flames.
---Is this Mitaka Yuuma’s magic? He must be fighting in the form of that giant red dragon, but the power of his fire magic is beyond comprehension.
The fiery tornado gradually lost its shape, scattering sparks before disappearing.
---Flames overpowering the wind. Mitaka might truly defeat the 【Green King】. Just as Anik thought that, a fierce wind howled, and a massive tree came hurtling toward him.
The tree that had been blown away was now being blasted away by the wind.
「Guh!」
Anik raised his fan to take a defensive stance, but in this harsh environment where even standing was difficult, he couldn't focus, and he failed to activate his magic in time.
Just as Anik thought it was over, Rudra and the other members of Makamayuri stepped in front of him.
「UWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!」
The flaming axe wielded by Rudra cleaved the massive tree in half. Furthermore, Rati unleashed a powerful wind magic, altering the tree's trajectory and narrowly avoiding disaster.
「Are you okay, Anik-sama!?」
As Rudra shielded against the wind and asked, Anik responded, "Ah, you saved me," expressing his gratitude to the members of Makamayuri.
「Anyway, let's get out of here! The effects of the fire and wind are too strong.」
「Agreed.」
Urged by Rudra, Anik started running. As he glanced up at the sky while running, another cataclysmic explosion was erupting once more.
