Chapter 76 – Fire Incarnate
Episode 76 – Fire Incarnate
It’s hot.
And it is comfortable.
That was the first thing I felt when I came to my senses. Surrounded by endless flames, I was like a bird that had just hatched.
I couldn’t adapt to the suddenly given infinite flame magic and looked around.
However, living creatures instinctively realize their own weapons even without being taught.
I quickly recognized the identity of the two different flames competing for territory in my heart and figured out what to do about it.
‘I can’t handle it.’
The flame of the Phoenix with the power of regeneration and purification, and the flame of the Red Dragon with the power of anger and destruction.
The tendencies of the two were completely opposite.
The Red Dragon’s flame burned itself and destroyed my body, and the Phoenix’s flame burned itself and regenerated my body.
The force was so fast that I didn’t even feel the slightest pain.
These forces were too great for me to control.
‘So I release it.’
I had to balance the two flames and control them to a level I could handle.
Just then, an army of about a thousand undead was advancing from the front.
There are over a hundred Death Knights that I had a hard time dealing with just a moment ago. It’s right to be nervous after seeing that scene, but I wasn’t impressed at all.
I just leisurely conjure up images.
Grrrr!
The flame that consumed the resources of my imagination shot out through my shoulders and formed huge wings, as if it had been waiting for just this moment.
When he lightly swung it, a storm of flames was created in an instant and attacked the undead.
Not only the skeleton, but even the Death Knight melted like ice cream left in the middle of summer.
‘Amazing.’
Even the power of the rape declaration, which always gave me a sense of omnipotence, now feels insignificant.
A sense of liberation that goes beyond thrill.
I was confident that with this power, I could easily destroy even the damn fate that always had a hold on me and swayed me uncontrollably.
But this is temporary.
I, who was trying to get absorbed in the demonic power, regained my composure and looked around.
‘Cain… Luckily, I’m alive.’
One arm was eroded by magic poison, but the saint’s divine power was enough to heal it. No, if it were my Phoenix flame, it would be able to immediately purify and regenerate such low-grade poison.
I naturally defined Huscular’s poison as ‘vulgar.’
Did he even understand what was going on?
Huscular turned all the undead forces that had been focused on Gion Cruiz entirely on me.
“It must be punished.”
The bloodshot eyes pierced me.
He instinctively realized how threatening my power was to him.
Following Huscular’s will, the Bone Dragon flew in from the forefront.
─Clararalala!
It roared wildly, then condensed its breath into its mouth and fired it out in the blink of an eye.
The amount of magical power contained within it is truly terrifying.
“The best I can do is Jackie Chan.”
However, it seemed ridiculous to me, who was currently handling both the Phoenix Flame and the Ancient Dragon Flame, which had absorbed nature’s magic over thousands of years, at the same time.
I lightly waved the phoenix’s wings.
Grrrr!
A wall of pure and clean flame rose from the tips of the wings. The characteristic of the Phoenix flame is purity. It does not mix with anything, and therefore never allows intrusion.
The Bone Dragon’s breath did not even cause any damage and was purified by the flame of purity and disappeared.
I slowly looked inside.
‘There are still too many.’
The magical power of the flame that has taken over my body is so vast that I cannot even guess its end.
I swung the red dragon’s wings this time as my breath disappeared and I saw thousands of legions advancing behind me.
Woo!
Flames condensed into a circle above my head along with an intense flow of magic power.
Like scooping out water from the sea, I constantly extracted and concentrated my magical power.
The fireball repeatedly expanded and then compressed into a smaller size. Its size never grew larger than 10 m.
Eventually, when the undead arrived in front of me, a small sun rose above my head.
“Go.”
Coo coo coo coo…
A fireball containing an inexplicably large amount of compressed flame descended.
Even though the speed did not appear to be fast, each time they blinked, they came closer to the corps.
The first to be swallowed by the sun was the Bone Dragon.
Grrrr!
It tried to resist the sun with its breath, but it was no use. All it could do was disappear without even being able to push it away.
Then the sun reached the ground.
─Ku-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwang!
A dazzling flash of light flashed along with an ear-piercing roar, creating a huge frenzy.
The power was so strong that the background around it shimmered and blurred as if it would collapse at any moment, as if the illusion maze barrier had been hit.
While everything was shaking due to the earthquake, I looked at the Huscular calmly.
‘You can’t miss it.’
As soon as the undead army disappeared, the guy realized that he had no chance of winning and tried to run away.
By persuading Ethan, he opened the gate to the pre-calculated coordinates.
I lightly kicked the ground.
Pooooo!
The fireworks that exploded from the toes served as a problowjobnt and covered the distance from Huscular in an instant.
I released a flame towards the gate.
Grrrr!
However, it was Huscular’s arm, not the gate, that was covered in flames.
The guy got in the middle and threw his arm as food for the flames, then threw Ethan, who was on his shoulder, inside his gate.
“Hyun, see you later!”
I ignored Ethan’s promise and gave Huscular a look.
“It’s fascinating. You can wield the flames of the Phoenix and the Dragon at the same time. “It will become a great threat to the Dark Church in the future.”
He coolly analyzed me even when my escape route was cut off. Huscular showed no fear of death.
In a way, it is natural.
Because he wasn’t human in the first place.
The true identity of Huscular is Acrich.
His true form is an immortal undead who has escaped humanity and transcended death.
He just put on his shell, but his soul is placed in a vessel and kept in a secret place known only to him.
Of course, I know its location.
‘It may not mean much.’
Now that we know that Ethan Gloucester is a possessor, most of the information related to the Dark Church can be considered useless.
So, while I was confronting Huscular, Cain approached.
“Herscular… !”
“Hmm… It’s too bad. It was a golden opportunity to resurrect Levios. “We should have brought more apostles.”
Despite Cain’s bloody appearance, he didn’t care at all and just said what he wanted to say.
Cain couldn’t hold back his anger at that sight and struck Huscular right in the heart.
Bwaaaaah!
With a heavy hitting sound, the intangible energy that exploded inside my skin and muscles and tore my heart to pieces.
Blood pours out from the Huscular’s mouth like a fountain.
“Are we done here? Too bad. It’s a shame.”
The guy was observing me with lingering eyes and suddenly started emitting green magic power.
It is a harbinger of explosion
I quickly released the flame before self-destruction occurred.
The Phoenix’s flame purified the magical poison and burned it in magical units so that the flame of destruction could not have any effect.
In the end, Huscular could not cause any damage and melted into nothingness.
“Shit… Damn it!”
Cain was furious at her when he saw that.
Although the overriding goal was achieved, the end with Yuliana was so miserable.
Unable to even retrieve his lover’s body due to Huscular’s trick, he gritted his teeth and swore revenge.
After a while, he calmed down and looked at me.
“Thank you. Thanks to him, he was able to kill Huscular.”
“What. Well, it’s just a shell. Could you please give me your arm instead?
“Eight? “For what reason?”
Cain becomes wary of unexpected demands.
There was no need to do anything, so I answered by regenerating his arm.
He was surprised to see his arms growing as if nothing had happened, and then he lowered his head.
“I misunderstood. “I apologize.”
“Are you okay. Rather, I also have a favor to ask.”
“Ask? What is it?”
Cain tilted her head as she saw me using an overly friendly tone for this being our first meeting.
After thinking about it, I took off my mask.
The brilliant silver hair turns black, and the brilliantly sparkling gold eyes return to silver.
Cain was astonished.
“You… ! What on earth happened?”
“There are some circumstances. Anyway, I’m planning to learn the martial arts technique right now, so please help me. We must stabilize the Phoenix flame and the Red Dragon flame.”
“… I get it. More details later. “Sit on the floor.”
As I followed her instructions, Cain placed his hand on my back and penetrated her magic.
He quickly assessed the condition of his body.
-Two forces are fighting. Destruction and regeneration. It is a completely opposite force. You know the saying that the end is a new beginning, right? It means that polar opposites communicate. This energy is a power of the same flame, but with an opposite concept. There’s enough to collect and store in one place. Remember the image of coexistence and use your magical power according to the instructions of Mugeuk Cheonrigong. Don’t keep pace.
The moment I heard the word coexistence, the Taegeuk symbol naturally appeared in my mind.
‘A thousand paths to the peak of nothingness.’
There will be both coexistence and conflict along the way.
The two forces were moved according to the image of Taegeuk, strongly repeating the phrases of Mugeuk Cheonrigong.
The two magic powers, which were initially separate, come together as one with the help of Mugeuk Cheonrigong and slowly begin to take their form.
Finally, Taegeuk took its place before my interruption.
‘Taegeukhwashingong (太極火神功).’
A new technique created just for me, differentiated from the Mukoku Cheonrigong.
After completing the circumnavigation, I opened my eyes to see that the Phoenix flame and the Red Dragon flame were perfectly balanced.
In an instant, a bright light burst from my eyes and illuminated the surroundings.
Cain carefully removed his hand from my back his.
“Good work. Let’s move forward even further.”
“Thank you.”
Although I expressed my gratitude, I couldn’t hold back my curiosity and opened the status window.

The first thing that caught my eye was magic attribute.
By blooming the phoenix egg, an unimaginable amount of magical power was received.
If you consider that even this is the amount of magic remaining after consuming a lot, you can see how much energy was contained in the Phoenix egg.
‘Well, I still can’t use everything.’
The Red Dragon’s flame may be quiet for now, but it is a dangerous force that could point its fangs at me at any time.
It would be a serious problem if you drew too much magical power and lost control.
Unless you want to commit suicide, it’s better not to think about mobilizing all that magical energy for the time being.
Next, my attention went to the skill part.
[Incarnate – Awaken the power of all flames.]
┗Super regeneration
┗Flame of Purity
┗Dragon Fear
┗Flame of Destruction
This would be the skill I used just a moment ago. I probably won’t be able to exert transcendental power like before, but at least I will be able to reach a level that far surpasses my level.
Maybe there was no longer a need to rely on rape declarations.
‘Maybe?’
In the end, if there is an enemy that even Hwahwahwa cannot handle, you will have no choice but to use a rape declaration, but is it really that easy for something like that to happen?
I’ll have to try it out later when I have some free time.
As I was looking at the skill window and thinking, a person approached me.
When I turned my head, what I saw was Gion Cruz, holding a large sword that was well over 2 meters long.
