"Hurry up, Indicus!"
Tears grabbed Indicus and ran desperately towards the research institute. She now regretted leaving the research institute so early. If they were there, Fangzheng would definitely be able to protect Indicus. Perhaps it was because he didn't have a sense of nervousness that he encountered such a thing.
Come to think of it, who was that person? She thought it was a bad guy from the Armed Incompetent Group, but was that person just now … an ability user?
Then why did he attack Indicus?
At this moment, Tear's mind was filled with questions, but she still ran forward with Indicas. However, just as they turned the corner, the tall figure in front of them forced them to stop.
"Oh, sorry."
The two-meter-tall red-haired man with a cigarette in his mouth smiled cruelly. He looked at Tears and Indicus in front of him and stretched out his hand.
"Can you give her to us? It's our mission to retrieve that thing. "
"Retrieve … You said retrieve?!"
Tears glared angrily at the red-haired man in front of her.
"This child isn't an object! I'll never let you take her away! "
"Is that so …."
Hearing Tears' answer, the red-haired man closed his eyes, then opened them again.
"Although I don't really want to have a conflict with a scientist, but … it seems there's no other way."
As he said that, the red-haired man raised his hand.
"Steele Magnus, Fortis 931."
"Huh?"
Tears was a little confused. She didn't know why the red-haired man would suddenly announce his name. But at that moment, Indicus hurriedly said, "Be careful, Tears.
"Be careful, Tears. For a magician, announcing their magic name is the same as declaring war!"
"Boom —!!!"
Before Indicas could finish her sentence, a huge flame shot out from the red-haired man's hand. Tears was shocked when she saw this scene.
Is this magic? No? Or is he an ability user who can control flames? But no matter which one it is ….
I'll never back down!
Thinking of this, Lei Zi took out a metal rod from the pocket of her dress and swung it. The next moment, the metal rod quickly elongated and turned into a longsword.
This was also specially designed by Fangzheng for Lei Zi. After all, a young girl walking on the street with a sword was too conspicuous, and Japan had the troublesome "Knife and Gun Control Law", so it was made into a retractable weapon. This way, it could be used as a fruit knife, and when in danger, it could be used as a weapon.
"I won't let you hurt a hair on that child's head!"
As she spoke, Lei Zi raised the sword in her hand. Thanks to the memories in her mind and the training she went through, she had some experience in fighting.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she thought of this.
"I will go with the wind …"
"Phew …"
A gentle breeze drifted along Lei Zi's body and spiraled in all directions. Lei Zi opened her eyes and stared at the red-haired man before her. Then, she lowered her body, held the long sword in her hand, and rushed forward!
At this moment, Lei Zi seemed to have turned into a gust of wind, quickly closing the distance between her and the red-haired man. Seeing this scene, the red-haired man sneered and clenched his right hand.
"Gift of Pain to Giants!"
Following the red-haired man's roar, a huge flaming sword several meters long slashed down at Lei Zi. Seeing this scene, Lei Zi was shocked.
Not good!
Facing the huge flaming sword descending from the sky, Lei Zi hurriedly stopped in her tracks. She raised her sword and swung it forward. Following her action, a strong wind rose from the ground and turned into a wind wall in front of Lei Zi, blocking the flaming sword descending from the sky.
"Interesting."
Seeing that Lei Zi blocked his attack, the red-haired man revealed a proud smile. Then, he clenched his right hand again and summoned a ball of flame.
"Well then, how about this!"
The moment the wind wall disappeared, the red-haired man swung his hand forward again. Following his movement, flames shot out from his hand and rushed toward Lei Zi. Lei Zi tightened her grip on the long sword and swung it forward again. Soon, the airflow turned into a vortex and shot toward the flame in front of her. The two collided heavily and exploded!
"Boom!!!"
Facing the scattered flames and airflow, both of them could not help but take a step back. The red-haired man's face was a little gloomy, but Lei Zi seemed quite excited.
'I can do it!'
Looking at the red-haired man in front of her, Lei Zi gripped the long sword in her hand again. It was not that she had not trained with others before. Fangzheng, Kuroko, and Misaka Mikoto had all trained with Lei Zi before. However, at that time, Lei Zi felt that there was no way she could win. No matter who she fought against, she would lose in a few moves. It was a horrible sight to behold.
There were a few times when Lei Zi suspected that she had no talent at all. She was bullied to the point of being autistic.
However, now, she was surprised to find out that she could actually fight against the red-haired man?
It seemed like … he was not that powerful after all?
Interesting.
Looking at Lei Zi in front of him, the red-haired man's expression turned solemn. The girl's fighting style was not quite the same as what he imagined a superpower user to be, but it was also not the style of a mage. It gave off an indescribably strange feeling. However, the red-haired man could see that the girl in front of him obviously had combat experience. Otherwise, she would not have been able to block his attack so easily.
If that was the case …
"One of the five elements that build the world, the great Flame of the Ancestors …"
"Eh?"
Lei Zi was stunned when she heard the red-haired man suddenly start chanting a strange incantation. However, Intecas was not stunned. Instead, she shouted.
"Stop him! Lei Zi! That's a Pope-level spell!! "
"Ah, oh!!"
Although she did not know what the Pope-level spell that Intecas was talking about was, judging from the flames that appeared around the red-haired man, Lei Zi knew that the red-haired man was preparing to attack. Therefore, she did not hesitate anymore. She hurriedly nodded, raised her long sword, and slashed at the red-haired man again. Soon, a whirlwind whizzed out and rushed towards the red-haired man.
When the whirlwind reached the red-haired man, the red-haired man had also finished chanting the incantation.
"Appear, devour my body and turn it into strength — —! Slay the Queen of Witches!! "
* Boom!! *
Scorching flames rose from beneath the red-haired man's feet and turned into a giant flaming humanoid. He reached out his hand and materialized a long sword out of thin air. He swung it at the whirlwind that Lei Zi had unleashed and easily swallowed it.
"Wow, is, is this real magic?"
Lei Zi was taken aback by the sight of the Flame Giant that seemed to have a life of its own. One must know that even in the previous battle, she had treated the Flame Giant as a Flame Manipulator. After all, the previous battles could have been achieved with just Flame Manipulators. As for what the red-haired man was saying, Lei Zi just thought that he was a chuunibyou.
And this flame giant in front of her that seemed to have a life of its own wasn't something that could be created with just one's ability!
If it were any other metahuman, they would have probably fallen into doubt. But Lei Zi was different. Not long ago, she was still a metahuman, and at that time, no matter if it was magic or superpowers, they were as distant as the clouds in the sky. But now, since he had the ability, the existence of magic in this world seemed to be possible, wasn't it?
"Ha!!!"
Thinking of this, Lei Zi swung her sword again and released a few more whirlwinds, but they were all blocked by the huge flame giant.
"It seems like you're at your wit's end."
Looking at Lei Zi, the red-haired man sneered and said.
"Woo …"
"Be careful, Lei Zi! Attacking and killing the Queen of Witches won't work. You have to remove the rune engravings on the walls, ground, and other places! "
"Eh? Rune? Engravings? Where are they? Where are they? "
Hearing Indicas's instructions, Lei Zi hurriedly looked around, but under the pitch-black curtain of night, she couldn't see her surroundings at all except for the burning flame giant in front of her. But at this moment, the flame giant roared and pounced toward Lei Zi.
Not good!
"Wind Wall!"
Lei Zi quickly retreated and once again summoned a wind wall to stop the flame giant's advance. But at the same time, she discovered that the red-haired man standing behind the flame giant raised his hands and summoned new flames.
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust …"
Not good!
"Blood Sucking Kill Red Cross!!"
Along with the red-haired man's roar, the flames in his hands instantly turned into two intersecting blades that slashed at Lei Zi. Before Lei Zi could escape, the two swords struck the flame giant's body and exploded like bombs.
"Boom — —!!"
Flames erupted.
Teardrop fell heavily to the ground and rolled a few times before stopping. At this moment, she was in a trance and her body was covered in wounds. Seeing this scene, Indicas was also shocked. She hurriedly ran to Lei Zi's side and shook her vigorously.
"Lei Zi, are you okay, Lei Zi …"
"Woo …"
Hearing Indicas's voice, Lei Zi slowly opened her eyes and slowly climbed up.
"I'm fine, don't worry, Indicas … Hurry up and leave, I'll hold this guy off. You go to Mr. Fangzheng, he'll definitely have a way …"
"But …"
"I'll think of a way to hold on here."
Lei Zi stood up again and gripped the sword in her hand tightly. Looking at this scene, Indica hurriedly grabbed her.
"Lei Zi, don't continue fighting. This isn't your battle at all."
"No, this is my battle."
Lei Zi took a deep breath and stood up straight again. She looked at the flame giant in front of her.
"Indicas, I was just an ordinary powerless person not long ago. Something happened to me at that time, and I thought that maybe things would be different if I had the ability, but that's not the case. In fact, this isn't a matter of whether I have the ability or not, but what I want to do. "
While saying that, Lei Zi raised her sword again.
"To be honest, I've only known you for less than a day, so I don't know much about you. But I only know that if you choose to leave with these people for me, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"
Saying that, Lei Zi gripped her sword tightly.
"This power that I obtained with so much difficulty exists for this!"
Before her voice faded, Lei Zi dashed forward again towards the flame giant. The flame giant also raised its sword and swung it at Lei Zi.
"Ha! Ha!! "
Facing the flame giant's attack, Lei Zi did not show any signs of weakness. She swung her sword again and again, creating whirlwinds. Perhaps it was because of her previous injuries, the whirlwinds she cast were not very powerful and were easily dispersed by the flame giant. Finally, as if she couldn't hold on any longer, Lei Zi bent over and fell to the ground. At the same time, the flame giant swung its sword again.
"Boom!!!"
The roaring flames completely engulfed the ground where Lei Zi was. Seeing this scene, Indicas couldn't help but scream.
"Lei Zi — — —!!"
"Hmph."
Seeing this, the red-haired man snorted coldly and placed a cigarette in his mouth.
"It seems like metahumans aren't that powerful after all."
"That's not necessarily true."
However, what the red-haired man didn't expect was that at this moment, Lei Zi's figure suddenly dashed out of the flames. She didn't even care about the flames on her body as she gripped her sword tightly and swung it at the red-haired man again!
"Whoosh — —!"
This time, the whirlwind that was stronger than the previous ones rose from the ground, directly sucking the red-haired man into it and throwing him into the air. At the same time, Lei Zi gripped her sword tightly as a violent airflow revolved and spread with her as the center. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a roaring tornado.
Please, you must succeed this time!
"Absolute Gale Slash!"
The girl's body suddenly leaped up under the blow of the storm and almost instantly appeared beside the red-haired man.
Sword raised! Sword fell!
The shining blade appeared. Teardrop and his sword flew through the whirlpool formed by the hurricane and bounced back. Several sword lights crossed each other. In the next moment, Teardrop fell heavily on the ground. At the same time, the red-haired man also fell from the sky with a thud and fell to the ground.
"Lei Zi, Lei Zi! Pull yourself together! "
At this moment, Indicas also hurried to Lei Zi's side. However, this time, Lei Zi couldn't get up no matter how hard she tried.
"Ugh …"
At this moment, the red-haired man slowly stood up. He stretched out his hand and wiped the bloodstain at the corner of his mouth. His eyes were filled with anger as he looked at Lei Zi.
"Kill the Witch Queen!!"
Following the red-haired man's roar, the flame giant once again condensed and appeared in front of the two girls.
However …
"Get all of them for me …"
"Boom!!"
However, before the red-haired man could finish his sentence, a huge metal ball suddenly flew from behind him. It hit the red-haired man's body directly and sent him flying.
At the same time, a very familiar voice sounded from Lei Zi.
"Al Xiuma!"
Following this voice, a huge icicle fell from the sky and completely penetrated the flame giant's body.
This time, the flame giant finally couldn't hold on anymore. It let out an angry howl and disappeared in the cold air.
"Clatter clatter …"
At this moment, the sound of chains slowly came from the depths of the alley.
