Extreme Flame Wizard - Chapter 165

Ch. 165: The Black Flame and the Wizard

Igni: [Equip Flame] {Ignition} : [Anti-Armor] {Spear}”

Fram: “[Flame Spear ] {Fire Lance}!”

Igni: “[Launch] {Fire}!!”

Both initiated their Spells.

Igni and Fram’s Spells appeared around them and rushed forward straight through the air. As they collided, explosions followed.

Fram: “[Piercing Flame] {Fire Bullet}!”

Igni dodged Fram’s Black Flame bullet Spell.

Holding his right hand in front of him, he made a quick incantation.

Igni: “[Equip Flame] {Ignition} : [Molecular] {Minima}!”

Too small to see with the naked eye, countless molecular-sized {Fireballs} rubbed against other molecules in the air to create a negative charge.

Fram: “Hahaha! What pure and innocent Magic! You’re just going to stick with a beginner Spell against me, Igni?!?!”

Igni: “That’s all I need for you, Fram.”

Creating a sudden, forceful imbalance in the electrical charge in the air, a massive flow of electricity poured in to restore the balance. As is the law of natureーー

Igni: “[Lightning] {Fire}!”

<ZUDO!!> (*sfx crash of lightning)

A giant, violet wave of electricity fell towards Fram.

It was one of Igni’s [Disaster-Level] Spells.

If the lightning had struck a normal enemy, it would have ended the fight right there. But Igni’s opponent wasn’t normal.

Black flames surrounded Fram.

It was probably the defensive Spell of the Fire Type [Flaming Defense] {Fire Wall}.

ーーA Spell that Igni couldn’t use.

Fram: “That’s quite the creative way of using {Fireball}, Igni.”

Igni: “I thought you might enjoy the lightning, Fram.” And in Igni’s hands, he had already conjured two {Fireballs}.

Igni: “[Equip Flame] {Ignition}!”

And he poured power into them.

The front of the {Fireball} was hardened and the backside was softened in order to pierce through defensive Spells.

Igni: “[Launch] {Fire}!”

<BAAANN!!> (*sfx air explosion)

And the {Fireballs} erupted and tore through the air as it left Igni’s hands. Fram re-initiated his defensive Spell. The Black Flames rose up once again to stand in between Igni and himself.

But the {Fireball} that was behind the first exploded!

With a sudden burst of acceleration, the {Fireball} in front collided with Fram’s defensive wall and pierced through!!

And Igni detonated his {Fireball} in midair.

A few moments later, Fram appeared from behind the wall in a cloud of smoke.

Igni once again began his incantation.

Igni: “[Equip Flame] {Ignition} : [Anti-Armor] {Pierce}!”

Fram: “[Black Flame] {Framit}!”

Igni created 5 {Fireballs} around him, poured his Magic into them, and began making them rotate. As their rotation increased, the {Fireballs} rubbed against the air and began to screech.

But Fram was not going to stand by and do nothing.

From within the smoke, he began his incantation and held a hand towards Igni.

Igni: “[Launch] {Fire}!”

Fram: “[Flame Spear] {Fire Lance}!”

Once again, their Spells dash through the air and collide.

As it does, Igni kicks the ground hard and rushes forward towards Fram in a straight line!”

Both their Spells completely missed their mark as they erupted in a distant place away from Igni and Fram.

But before Fram could finish his incantation, Igni stepped directly in front of him andーー

Igni: [Rotating Ember] {Ignite}”

ーーcirculated the Magic inside his body.

Because he was already in motion, he kept the rotation to 30 cycles per second!

The world slowed in his vision, and Igni seemed to be left behind in time.

In that world, Igni sensed his surroundings and very slowly reached his hand to Fram.

In the slow-motion world, Fram had his arms crossed in defense.

But Igni was faster ー his strike, much heavier.

<GUSHA> (*sfx flesh and bone being crushed)

And Fram’s arms were pulverized as he was blown backwards from the impact!

Igni: “[Equip Flame] {Ignition} : [Scatter Shot] {Cluster}!”

Within the {Fireball} in Igni’s hand, he created countless {Fireballs} inside andーー

Igni: “[Artillery] {Fire}!!”

He guided the explosion to face a single direction and detonated!

Countless {Fireballs} headed straight for Fram andーー

<ZUDODODODO!!!> (*sfx multiple impact)

The area was buried with explosive flames!

Igni: “I’m not done yet!”

Fram: “………..dammit!”

Fram frantically reached for a potion with his smashed arms.

But Igni continued to fire off more {Fireball} spells and impeded Fram from drinking it.

Fram focused on dodging, but he also wasn’t able to go on the offensive.

Igni: “[Equip Flame] {Ignition} : [Scatter] {Shot}”

As Fram frantically dodged and ran, Igni created more {Fireballs} andーー

Igni: “[Launch] {Fire}!”

ーーfired more than Fram can dodge. That was it.

Fram: “DAMMIT!!”

Fram screamed as the Black Flame prison encircling the Imperial Capital disappeared.

It indicated that he no longer had the ability to continue casting that Spell in his current state.

It meant that Igni was slowly cornering Fram.

Igni was able to directly read Fram’s state from their surroundings.

“[Darkness, swallow the flames whole]”

Behind Igni, a sludge of Magic began moving.

Hearing a familiar voice of his friend, Igni did not have to turn around to understand what happened.

“I’m glad I learned Counter Spells from President Miru.”

Behind him was a young boy with white hair.

The boy had a [Darkness] : [S] compatibility from birth, and specializing in Support Spells, he managed to break the black flame prison that surrounded Alicia’s group.

Igni: “Thank you, Yoori.” Yoori: “No, no. That was nothing.”

Igni: “I’ll do the rest. Have everyone else evacuate.”

Igni did not think of Fram as a Wizard.

9 out of 10, Fram was a Magician.

But Igni did not witness him using any <Magic> yet.

But Fram used a specialized type called Black Flame.

Igni had studied [Fire] Type Magic extensively, but he had never once heard of Black Flames. Hence, the number of Black Flame Type users would be severely limited.

He also relied on Celia’s assessment that the [Transgressors] would attack during the Birthday Festival.

And Hayem’s testimony about the [Transgressor] who attacked her previous home with Black Flames.

And most of all, the similarity Igni felt when he first met Fram.

He wondered if that similarity was from both being Magicians.

Igni: “………Fram, I’m going to ask you one more time.”

Having his body pummeled and Magic reserves reduced, Fram stood there holding the Potion as Igni spoke.

Igni: “Are you… a [Transgressor]?”

Fram: “………do……you know how Black Flames are created?”

Igni: “Answer my question.”

Fram: “…….don’t you think it’s strange? The [Stagnation] that seeps out of human emotion carries incredible amounts of energy. Why not use it?” Fram squeezed the words out with breathless gasps.

Igni: “What are you getting at?” Fram: “………..[Stagnation]……is……dark….and heavy. A thing……that pools at the bottom…of the depths. That’s why…..my Flame……”

Something swiftly wrapped around Igni’s right arm as a pellet of Black Flame struck him.

Fram: “<is incredibly HEAVY>”
