CHAPTER 255 – ALL EXTERMINATING FLAMES



「That’s so amazing……」


Melissa looked amazed in front of the countless corpses of Opis in front of her .


Although she is wearing clerical clothes, she’s different from the other priests that I know .


She is a dauntless woman who can stand on bloody battlefields, scenes of carnages without faltering .


And right now, she looks completely unaffected in front of a mountain of snake corpses .


「Kakeru, you became stronger again?」


「Just a little bit」


『Oi, don’t be too modest . I regained my peak strength . I won’t let you call it as just a little bit』


Eleanor protested, but I ignored her .


「Leaving aside the snakes……it looks like they didn’t appear」


My battle against the Opis took me some time .


I could do nothing about it since it’s an opponent that would increase its number the more I kill it .


We decided to wait here for Hemishes to appear, but even after passing some time, it doesn’t look like they would appear .


「It looks like there’s no more」


「I think so too」


「Thank you, Kakeru . It was very helpful」


「Don’t mind it . I just went to a date with my woman」


I said, then pulled Melissa into an embrace and kissed her .


「Thanks……」


She blushed, answering with a face happy with more than one reasons .


But that was only for an instant . Melissa who looked like she was indulging my embrace quickly regained her face as a Saintess .


「The only thing left is to wait for the water」


「Wait again? But the Hemishes are already annihilated」


I have defeated all of the sources that pollluted the water around hereーー


『You idiot』


「Mu?! ……ah, I see」


Being called by Eleanor, I noticed it as well .


Cutting off the main cause, doesn’t mean that the water would be purified immediately .


We could only wait for the water that was polluted to naturally cleanse itself .


「It would be great if there’s heavy rain, but it can’t be helped . From how the water flows around here, it would be fine after waiting for half a month . It’s enough if I could provide the water during that period . Thank you, Kakeru . Thanks to you, it became a lot easier」


「Oi, Melissa」


From her words, I involuntarily imagined what she’s planning .


「What?」


「The water provided, it will be donated by the Solon Church right?」


「No? I’ll pay for it myself . It’s fine . Donating water is a small thing . With Kakeru’s help, I know now how much I should provide, soーーow!」


I knocked on Melissa’s head .


The Immortal Saintess Melissa . She has an undying body that would recover even if she was split into halves by Eleanor, so I knocked a bit stronger .


「W-What are you doing?」


「……」


“There’s a limit on being too kind” was what I wanted to say, but .


『Kuku, those are useless words for that selfless Saintess whose lifework is to save peopleーーhey!』


I also gave Eleanor who spoke cheerfully a flick of my finger .


After doing that, I looked at Melissa .


Melissa whose covering her head with her hands while looking at me with teary eyes .


……*sigh* .


「Let’s go to the water source」


「Eh? WhyーーAh, wait for me, Kakeru!」


I ignored Melissa and quickly walked . Melissa caught up soon .


I walked in strides with her following me from behind .


We arrived at the water source where the sound of flowing water echoed within the darkness .


「It’s here huh, the water source」


「That’s correct, but what are you going to do?」


「I’ll purify it at once」


「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 .
