"Shadow Fairy Tale."
I don't particularly intend to hide.
It's just to make my movements faster.
Swish.
I create an ice sword with my right hand.
Swish!
I swing the sword wide.
Branch Manager James Bue quickly ducked.
'His reaction speed is decent.'
Thwack!
The mana sword brushed past the Branch Manager's head.
Boom!
The wall far behind collapsed completely.
The figure of my father, Edward Naone, tied to a chair, comes into view.
Four swordsmen guard his surroundings.
I reached out my left hand towards my father.
Telekinetic magic.
Edward Naone flew towards Davian, still tied to the chair.
Meanwhile, I melted away the ice sword and raised my right hand.
Again, telekinetic magic.
With precise control, I tore off the ropes binding Edward's body and the chair.
And as I clenched my fist tightly, the wooden chair separated from Edward and exploded in mid-air.
Thump.
Edward fell into Davian's arms.
"Davian!"
"Father."
It's only the third time we've met, but he's still my father.
It's been a long time for Davian with many events.
But for the hundred or so people gathered there, it was all over in the blink of an eye.
Branch Manager James Bue quickly retreated.
"Attack! Kill them all!"
Davian handed Edward over to Mons.
"Mons, get out of here with Father and Latia. I'm counting on you. Latia, are you and Mons getting along a bit better now?"
The two of them had formed a two-person party to fight demons.
Latia asked.
"What about you, Davian?"
"I'll play with fire a bit and then leave."
Insanis' expression, who had been watching the situation with interest, brightened.
"Am I able to see those flames?"
Davian shook his head.
"You don't even need to get that far."
Insanis nodded readily.
"You can't use something so amazing against these guys. I understand. But."
Insanis looked at Edward Naone.
"The human who created Davian. Why are you being held here?"
The human who created Davian.
It seems he means Father.
If he meets Mother, will he say the human who gave birth to Davian?
'But what are you talking about?'
Why am I being held?
Later, I heard that Father was poisoned and couldn't resist properly before being dragged here.
At the time, I just accepted it.
Insanis' expression is one of complete incomprehension.
'Father does have some skill, but it shouldn't be enough to elicit this kind of reaction from Insanis...'
In the meantime.
Over a hundred members of the organization were closing in.
"Mons, get out of here."
"Yes! Young Master. Latia, can you clear a path?"
"Yes, Mons."
Latia, who was already prepared, spewed out a huge pillar of fire.
Kwaaaa.
The direction is towards the stairs leading upwards.
It's not comparable to Davian, but Latia's fire elemental magic is also top-notch.
The path to the stairs was cleared by those who inadvertently retreated due to the intense heat.
"Now!"
Latia shouted.
At the same time, she completely withdrew her magic power.
The pillar of fire was impressive, but extinguishing the fire by withdrawing her magic power so quickly was also a remarkable feat of control.
It's something only a genius magic girl could do.
Mons, with Edward on his back, wrapped his left arm around Latia's waist.
Latia was startled for a moment, but she wasn't the type to endanger her party over such trivial matters in a combat situation.
Tatt!
Mons quickly leaped forward.
Some members of the organization tried to block Mons' path.
But Mons pushed aside and deflected their attacks while maintaining his running speed, breaking through the encirclement.
Impressive swordsmanship.
But with one person on his back and one person tucked under his arm, he couldn't move completely freely.
Swish!
The sword of a member of the organization with decent agility cut Mons' right shoulder.
But.
"Huh? What?"
It was a sword infused with even a weak aura for a short moment, but it didn't even make a small scratch on Mons' uniform.
A uniform made by processing the fur of a cream dragon.
A gift from Glacia.
It's not the kind of thing that would be torn by the sword of someone like that in a place like this.
A big gap opened up in the body of the flustered member, but Mons chose to keep running forward instead of retaliating.
Right now, the priority is to get out of here with the Young Master's father and best friend.
People who are precious to the Young Master.
No matter how hard the members of the organization try to attack, he must not let them touch a single hair on their heads.
Swaaek!
Latia began to spew out sharp wind elemental magic.
Mons on the right.
Latia on the left.
They mercilessly cut down the approaching enemies and continued to break through the encirclement.
After confirming that Mons had started climbing the stairs.
Davian looked around.
"Have you guys ever been to hell?"
Branch Manager James Bue replied.
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
"I haven't either. But if there really is such a place as hell... maybe it would be like this?"
Whoosh.
Crimson flames flared up.
The starting point of the flames is Davian's heart.
Where the magic power of mid-level 9-star is contained.
He didn't create fire elemental magic by emitting magic power through his fingertips.
The size of his magic power increased rapidly, and his understanding of magic power also increased.
Whoosh.
Now Davian's body is the fire itself.
To someone who doesn't know, it looks like Davian's body has been devoured by the flames.
Davian's entire body is burning brightly.
"What, what is that! Is it a suicide attack?"
That's not it.
The flames that pushed all 9 stars in didn't burn even a thread of Davian's clothes.
It emits heat that would burn all the air outside.
Since it started from Davian's heart, it doesn't cause any damage to Davian.
Davian himself has become fire elemental magic.
Faced with the shocking sight they've never seen before, none of the members of the organization dared to approach Davian rashly.
"It's just flame magic! Don't be afraid! Everyone attack!"
The first to attempt an attack on the branch manager's orders was a member of the organization carrying a large bow.
Since there was no need to get close, he didn't hesitate to attack.
Swaeek.
A thick, large arrow was shot towards Davian.
But.
Whoosh, crackle.
The arrow didn't touch Davian's body.
As soon as it touched the flames that had risen around Davian, it turned to ashes and scattered into the air.
Davian raised his finger and pointed at the member who shot the arrow.
Whoosh!
A stream of crimson flames stretched out.
It instantly burned the archer and the people around him to ashes.
"Who's next? Come on in."
Deputy Branch Manager Helton stepped forward.
"I'll put out the fire first."
7-star or 8-star is the rating standard of the Alkansia Kingdom.
There are no such standards in the Marino Empire.
But as someone who is part of an intelligence organization, it was not difficult to check how many stars his magic power was based on the standards of an enemy country.
'The power of flame magic looks amazing, but after all, he's just a student at the Alkansia Academy.'
Helton was born with a special constitution.
He learned how to emit magic power before he learned how to run.
He felt natural mana being absorbed little by little every time he breathed.
By the time he was about 10 years old, handling magic power was as natural as moving his body's muscles.
Even while doing so, his magic power continued to accumulate.
Now, not long before he turns forty, he has exceeded 8 stars according to the standards of the enemy country Alkansia.
If Branch Manager James Bue wasn't a silver spoon with a background.
Helton would have already taken the position of Branch Manager.
'The energy contained in the flame is not ordinary, but if I use the compatibility of the four elemental magic.'
Helton prepared water elemental magic.
Thanks to Davian patiently waiting.
He was able to take the time to create water elemental magic with all of his magic power.
Kwaaa!
A wave-like stream of water gushed out from Helton's hands.
'Water puts out fire!'
He felt the gazes of the hundred or so members of the organization looking at him.
'Watch closely. This is the skill of your Deputy Branch Manager. I should have been the Branch Manager a long time ago.'
Then Davian opened his mouth.
"A decent guy was hiding behind his subordinates."
"Insolent bastard! Everyone listen! As soon as the fire goes out, attack him!"
Even though the Branch Manager was right next to him.
Deputy Branch Manager Helton issued orders to all members of the organization.
Cheeee!
Helton's water elemental magic covered Davian's flames.
Branch Manager James Bue smirked.
'I admit you're great for your age. But you didn't know that we had an 8-star magician based on your standards.'
Moreover, it's fire elemental magic, which is far inferior in compatibility to water elemental magic.
'It's over! Davian Naone.'
At that time.
Insanis, who had been watching from behind, clicked his tongue.
"Something like that won't work. As Davian said, there was no need to take out the real thing."
Insanis was somewhat proud of the overwhelming strength Davian was showing, but he couldn't understand this situation at all.
'With that kind of skill, how on earth are they gathered in this underground to capture Davian?'
I know that humans are often not very wise, but this is too foolish an operation.
They've dragged me all the way here, and they haven't even grasped the other person's skills.
'As Davian said. Today, this place will become hell.'
Insanis' eyes were accurate.
Whoosh.
Davian's flames began to devour Helton's water stream.
Whoosh!
As if fire had spread to oil, Davian's flames advanced rapidly along Helton's water stream.
Helton's face turned white in an instant.
"What, what is this!"
It is no longer possible to withdraw the magic power.
I can't even get out.
Helton's life flashed before his eyes.
From the day he first felt magic power until now.
He had lived thinking that he had been blessed by God.
So, this is the end...
Whoosh!
Helton's body was engulfed in crimson flames.
The body of a magician who has no defense at all.
It instantly turned to ashes and scattered.
"No one else? If not, I'm coming."
Davian's voice was not very loud.
Nor was it filled with inner strength.
But.
It was enough to weigh heavily on the hearts of the hundred or so members of the organization gathered in the underground space.
"Ugh... Ugh! Let's run away!"
"Run away!"
The members of the organization who were near the entrance hurriedly headed for the stairs.
At that time.
Paff.
Insanis, who had suddenly disappeared, appeared at the entrance of the stairs.
"I vowed that I would not harm humans until the end of my life."
"Where did you suddenly come from? Get out of the way!"
Swish!
The member of the organization who was running away in the front swung his sword.
But.
Clang!
The sword that touched Insanis' clothes broke as it was.
"What, what?"
It's not that he's wearing clothes separately.
The fact that he's wearing clothes is the dragon's polymorph.
The shape is clearly clothes and it scatters in a small breeze.
But this is a dragon's scale.
"Those who trapped my friend Davian. And those who tried to harm Davian's father and Davian. You will not be able to escape this place."
"Trample him! Trample him and pass by!"
They tried kicking him with their feet.
They tried pushing him together with several people.
They tried launching magic attacks.
But Insanis only stood blocking the stairs immovably.
[Don't provoke my anger any further and receive Davian's judgment fairly. Today, this place is the place you created.]
Dragon word.
The heavy dragon word landed in the minds of the humans who were trying to push Insanis away and escape this place at all costs.
Thump.
Some of them sat down right there.
Even those who were barely holding on were shaking their legs.
