[EP.62] Fire Death and Rebirth
He ran out of the room without even having time to reply.
This was because the academy dormitory was none other than where Dorothy stayed.
After running and running like that, the academy dormitory where Aslan arrived was burning in the flames of fire.
Some of the children who escaped were seen suffering from burns or crying.
But Dorothy was nowhere to be seen among them.
Aslan hurriedly found someone who looked fine and asked.
“hey. Dorothy, have you seen this girl named Dorothy? “It’s a girl with transparent blue hair!”
“Oh, Dorothy? “That failing student?”
He seemed to know Dorothy, but he looked like he didn’t understand her.
At that moment, one child raised his hand.
“Well, I saw it. Because Dorothy saved that kid over there and me.”
The child, who appeared to be a student, pointed to the child who had fainted, possibly from inhaling too much smoke.
But Dorothy was nowhere to be seen.
“What about Roshi?”
“You said you were going to save other children…” … .」
As soon as Aslan heard those words, he jumped into the entrance without anyone having time to stop him.
He repeatedly used magic to block flames on his body and ran through the blazing flames.
Even though I used protection magic, the heat was hot.
This fire is no ordinary fire.
‘This is magic.’
Who on earth did this?
Did someone have a grudge against the academy?
Aslan, who did not attend the academy, could not know about that fact.
However, what was certain was that Dorothy was what he needed to find now.
“Dorothy! Dorothy, where are you?”
Aslan escaped the collapsing rubble and desperately called out for Dorothy.
This guy is barely able to use basic magic.
There was no way I could endure a fire like this.
Aslan, who had searched the first floor and had already reached the second and third floors, felt that the temperature of the flames on the other side was dropping.
Aslan realized this and desperately ran in that direction with his body in the gap.
“Move!”
Aslan’s blue hair shone in his eyes as he used magic to blow away the collapsed wreckage.
Between the icy hair, whose tips were frozen and fluttering, blue, transparent, ice-like skin was peeked out.
The girl, whose body was half made of ice, was desperately suppressing the magic circle of flame in front of her with coldness.
And Aslan knew that girl well.
“Dorothy!”
Dorothy’s head turned this way along with Aslan’s shout.
When she met Aslan, her eyes became bigger than ever and she looked embarrassed.
“Oh, Aslan?”
Dorothy, confused as to why he was here, realized herself at the same time and didn’t know what to do.
Aslan realized it as soon as he saw it.
Dorothy was not an ordinary human being.
She was none other than a spirit.
Erosive species cause an instinctive repulsion in humans.
Even more so, spirits.
How are spirits treated in the Igrit family?
The atrocities committed by the first spirit who made a contract with the spirit were so great that they were recorded in history.
Therefore, spirits were an absolute taboo for the Igrit family.
Dorothy didn’t know that either.
When the guilt and various thoughts of deceiving him until now filled Dorothy’s head.
Aslan was feeling deeper relief than ever.
Because Dorothy was safe.
Aslan immediately jumped to Dorothy’s side.
It didn’t matter to Aslan whether she was a spirit or something.
Because she was Dorothy, who gave her life back again.
“Aslan, are you stupid?! Dangerous! Get out now!”
Seeing Aslan like that, Dorothy let out an embarrassed tone.
No matter what she looked like now, Dorothy hated seeing Aslan in danger.
But it was the same for Aslan.
“All we have to do is solve this.”
“Wait a minute, it’s dangerous!”
“Dorothy, I’m Ygritte.”
Aslan approached the magic circle.
The heat was so intense that it burned his face, but he didn’t care, and spread his hands together, clasping them together.
Then, magic circles that began to glow in his grasp began to appear one after another.
“Magic is my specialty.”
It was funny.

It’s like saying that you are an expert in magic, even though you were sick of it last night.
But now, the only one who could stop this magic circle was himself.
Dorothy’s eyes shook violently when she saw that.
Her lips were bitten at the sight of him stepping forward without the slightest hesitation even though he knew he was a spirit.
「… … Aslan, I am a spirit. “If you’re seen with me, you’ll be in big trouble.”
Perhaps this is not an issue that will end at the level of family excommunication.
At least the Flame King, who cares so much about his family, will never leave Aslan alone.
But even so, Aslan’s eyes remained unchanged.
“okay.”
I just answered very calmly that I wanted to be with her enough to endure it all.
Dorothy, who heard Aslan’s sincerity, clenched her fists.
“The person who caused this arson committed it using spirit seeds. The flames cannot be extinguished with normal magic. Of course, not even spirits can block magic.”
A new magic being created using spirit seeds sold in backroom transactions.
This magic was a forbidden magic that forcibly bloomed and exploded the power of the spirit within the spirit seed.
Although its power is enormous, it is a spirit amplification magic that is close to world erosion, created by forcibly sacrificing spirits.
Naturally, the Igrit family was currently investigating those who used such magic.
And it was the same for Dorothy.
Dorothy was a unique case among spirits who were closer to humans.
She was a newly created entity created by the Spirit King’s Forest to respond to humans amidst the ever-evolving erosion of the world.
So, unlike ordinary spirits who do not understand the human way of thinking, she knew humans well.
No matter what the direction of evolution was, she was naturally interested in humans because she was similar to humans.
In particular, magic was the most interesting topic for her.
In order to learn such magic, she took on the identity of a young wizard who had died for some reason in the Spirit King’s Forest and entered the academy.
And she realized one thing in the process.
The young wizard named Dorothy, who used her identity, was related to a group that researched spirit amplification magic.
Dorothy, who heard about the incident, watched the group’s movements.
And when they saw that one of them had committed a terrorist attack after being caught in the Igrit family’s investigation, they quickly tried to stop it.
Aslan then saw the burning seed inside the explosion magic circle.
Certainly, the flame energy felt there was an energy that even Aslan could not interpret.
“I will suppress the spirit’s power.”
“I’m canceling the magic.”
Dorothy and Aslan’s eyes met.
They both realized at the same time what each other needed to do.
The two walked around smiling at the same time amidst the blazing fire.
And as soon as that smile passed, Dorothy and Aslan moved.
Dorothy’s cold force forcibly suppressed the spirit’s flame.
Meanwhile, Aslan immediately began disarming the magic circle.
The basis of the magic circle was explosion magic.
It is also a highly sophisticated magic that has been designed to a considerable level.
I could clearly feel how crazy the arsonist was, crazy about magic.
It was a magic circle created as a result of an absurdly high level of knowledge, from the basic framework, ether, to the ancient runes of Akasha.
‘Youngbyeong, even if you twisted it like a tortoise, you let it go. Is it at least Philosopus, a 5th circle mage?’
At best, he is nothing more than Thioricus, a 3rd circle mage.
A situation where the circle is 2 levels different from that of the mage who engraved the magic circle.
It was a complex magic circle that even felt like a determination to somehow execute this magic.
It was so bad that Aslan felt dizzy for a moment just by looking at it.
But his eyes and hands moved like crazy without any intention of stopping.
I realized why Dorothy had been suppressing this magic.
If this explodes, not only the academy dormitory but the entire area will be blown away.
Dorothy knew that fact and was tenaciously suppressing the magic circle.
As a result, Aslan had to be even more careful in disarming the magic circle.
A situation that requires both speed and accuracy.
It was an extreme situation where you had to run quickly on a tightrope that would end the moment you made a mistake.
Dorothy’s coldness is still pouring down in real time.
Although she was somehow able to block it well, she had already been overdoing it since she arrived.
As evidence, Dorothy’s appearance was slowly becoming closer to that of a spirit.
The water dripping through the ice clearly revealed her limitations.
Time is breathtaking.
Cold sweat began to form on Aslan’s forehead.
I felt sorry for myself for almost neglecting magic for a while.
All the fancy pretense is going to the trouble of solving the magic circle on one subject.
‘It has to be faster. More, definitely.’
But even so, his hands and eyes could not stop.
The mental power poured to its limit was forced into a state of hyper concentration in order to completely dispel the magic circle.
Tuduk, tuk-
Perhaps because the power of mana gathered in his eyes was so strong, blood began to flow from the corners of his eyes.
His eyes, which never blinked even once, were unstoppable.
‘shit.’
Nevertheless, he keenly felt that his skills were lacking.
“Aslan.”
Dorothy’s voice reached his ears.
“you can do it. “Because you can teach even a fool like me.”
Dorothy, who was now completely in her spirit form, spoke with even more chills.
“Because you are the greatest mage I know.”
There is someone who believes in you.
That fact alone was enough for Aslan.
Aslan’s red eyes shone brighter than ever.
It was as if he had learned magic just for this day.
The fingers in his bright eyes moved as if drawing a melody.
Dozens of magic circles began to be released one after another from his fingertips.
The burning flames grew stronger, but Aslan’s hands continued to release the magic circle.
And just one last thing.
The moment I arrived in front of it.
His index finger touched the magic circle.
Crispy!
At that moment, the magic circle shattered like shards of glass.
And starting with that.
Hwaaaaaaa!
The flames that filled the surroundings burned and disappeared in an instant.
Fight, fight-
The sound of part of the burning building collapsing into ashes echoed quietly.
In it, Aslan was breathing slowly with blood flowing down his cheeks.
Aslan’s eyes turned to the side.
Is it because I used too much mana for accurate and quick release?
Not even his voice came out, and his vision was blurry.
But still, Dorothy was clearly reflected in his eyes.
Translucent skin of ice, eyes that look like ice crystals just like the skin, and blue hair that looks like it was crafted one by one with ice.
Below, Dorothy had a bright smile on her face.
“Aslan!”
I kept it.
That was enough.
The moment when Aslan’s consciousness was about to disappear.
Coogung!
The entire dormitory began to echo.
Because of the blazing fire, the pillars of the building eventually could not withstand it and collapsed.
As a result, the entire dormitory began to collapse.
This is the corner of the third floor.
Even the window is too far to escape.
Moreover, Aslan had now reached his limit and was in a state of mana exhaustion.
A situation where even the fingertips cannot move properly.
Nevertheless, when Aslan stretched out his hand to embrace Dorothy, Dorothy wrapped her arms around Aslan before he could.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
At that moment, the dormitory building collapsed, sending pitch-black ashes and smoke flying.
In it, Aslan let out a sigh along with the feeling of falling down.
But there was no shock.
Dorothy froze in the rubble of the collapsed building and barely managed to avoid being crushed by the rubble.
But the real problem was:
“W-what is that?”
“A monster, a monster, a monster!”
“It’s a spirit! There is a spirit!”
While Aslan was in a daze, he felt a commotion coming from all over the place.
These were the voices of the children who had taken refuge in the front of the dormitory and the magicians who came belatedly to extinguish the fire.
Various emotions such as fear and hostility poured out from their eyes.
“I’m a hostage! “They’re holding you hostage!”
The mages shouted without knowing who had extinguished the explosion.
I wanted to shout that it was a misunderstanding, but no voice came out of Aslan’s mouth.
Rather, it was fortunate that he did not vomit blood.
There was no way my voice could come out.
Aslan’s eyes quickly turned to Dorothy.
We must run away now.
If Dorothy stayed here, she would become the sorcerer’s target.
Dorothy knew it too.
But before she could move, flames swirled around her.
“Get away from my son!”
A loud voice rang out and flames suddenly engulfed Dorothy.
Dorothy was already at her limit as she was trying to suppress the spirit amplification magic.
Of course, there was no way to avoid the fire.
Aslan and Dorothy’s eyes met.
In that brief moment, Dorothy smiled slowly, and Aslan’s eyes widened.
“not… … !」
The moment when the voice barely burst out as if squeezed.
[Aslan, thank you. ]
With a voice echoing in her head, Dorothy pushed Aslan away.
And the flames flew in and engulfed Dorothy.
Dorothy was instantly consumed by the flames.
This was because it was too high-level fire magic for her to endure.
“Ah, ah!”
Aslan, who saw the scene before his eyes, vomited blood and screamed.
Then, when he tried to rush towards the burning Dorothy, there was someone who grabbed Aslan’s arm before him.
“Aslan! are you okay. Because it’s okay now!”
She was none other than his mother, Agatha.
She had heard the news of the academy’s arson while investigating the magicians who had tampered with the taboo, and had come here in a hurry.
Fortunately, the culprit was caught.
The arsonist was none other than a professor who worked at the academy.
After being caught up in the investigation, he finally expressed his madness in the academy dormitory.
Aegatha, who arrived like that, saw a spirit that seemed to be attacking Aslan, and judged that spirit to be another spirit prepared by the arsonist.
To save Aslan, he immediately burned the spirit with all his might.
However, Agatha’s situation meant nothing to Aslan.
Dorothy burns out.
That was the only problem for him.
At the moment when she finally pushed herself away, her laughter came to mind vividly.
“Well, Roshi… … .」
After crying out that name, Aslan’s spirit, unable to overcome mana exhaustion, was finally broken.
And that was the day Aslan broke down.
But now, Aslan has come all the way to see Dorothy again.
In the past, I felt sorry for myself for giving up my will to live and choosing to commit suicide because I thought I could not get Dorothy back.
I had to struggle again and again to bring her back to life.
The fact that he tried to die because he had been saved by Dorothy but could not find a way to do so aroused his disgust towards himself.
“therefore.”
Aslan opened his lips underwater and shouted at the brightly shining egg of the Spirit King.
“Dorothy, let’s meet again.”
Because I will regret and atone for the past times I gave up again and again.
Aslan cried out and said, “Let’s meet again.”
Because I haven’t heard the answer that day yet.
At that moment, the entire lake was engulfed in a halo of light.
In the bright light, the egg of the Spirit King that Aslan was embracing slowly began to crack.
Eventually, the moment Aslan slowly lifted the egg from his hand, all the lights gathered at the Spirit King’s egg.
Sarah-
Transparent blue hair fluttered before Aslan’s eyes.
Aslan’s eyes opened the widest they had ever been.
The girl floating in the water slowly opened her closed eyes, trembling.
Aslan saw this and slowly laughed with tears flowing even in the lake.
“Dorothy.”
“Oh, Slann?”
Aslan’s arms stretched out and hugged her.
The promise not to lose it again was deeply engraved in his heart.
Reuniting with her was the moment when hope came to Aslan to live life again.
And then Krasch came into his mind.
The man who was his benefactor is now confronting his grandfather.
“Dorothy, I’ll explain later.”
We have to get out right away.
＊ ＊ ＊
Chaeeeeng!
In the resounding name of the sword.
Krasch was busy moving his eyes.
This is because he was relentlessly blocking dozens of fires flying at him with his sixth sense and blunt sword.
And in front of him was Adolf, who looked very relaxed.
Adolf was strong, living up to his reputation as one of the world’s strongest.
In the first place, I didn’t think I could beat Crashu.
If Adolf was sincere, Krashu would have ended long ago.
This was a situation where Adolf was able to fight because he calculated that he would not do it sincerely.
‘But that’s true.’
Crashu took a big step back, swatting away all the fireballs that flew at him.
‘That relaxed attitude pisses people off.’
The plan was just to buy time until Aslan could resurrect Dorothy.
Looking at that face, I think I need to change my mind.
I understand why Aslan hated and resented Adolf so much.
I was like this when I only met him for a short time, so it would be natural for Aslan to suffer every day.
So, I wanted to give him a big blow.
[Crash. ]
At that moment, Crimson Garden’s voice was heard.
[The spirit came to life. ]
And that was enough of an opportunity to break through Krasch’s limit.
