Episode Twelve: Flames -

□ ■ One letter

To those who are reading this.

I don't know your name. [M] I will not see your face. [M]

Again, you won't see me in person.

Because that's what we are.

As long as I'm around, you don't exist, and I'm not there when you do.

Because of the way we are, I leave a letter with words to convey.

contemporary emperor or next generation?

If they draw my will, it should be in your hands.

There are two first words to convey.

We are not human beings. Impossible in humans.

It is that fact that I tell you first.

The relationship between man, job, and monster that this world presides over.

The heresy that arises in such a relationship is also to be said.

In the distant past, the weighting of anomalies carved into the world by our ancestors.

Therefore, at some point it may have disappeared with a purifying action.

But if you're reading this letter, it means it wasn't for me or you.

You may be worried about the power you were born with. [M]

I used to be, too.

Most of all in my case, it was due to the bad times of birth and comparison with my predecessor.

My predecessor used this power perhaps the most in his history.

It was impossible for me to use up this power. Can you do that?

But I don't even need to run out.

Our power is overwhelming.

The power to be chosen and gained without even trying.

I don't have to stack it myself, it's just broken.

Therefore, you may be making a great mistake in your toddler.

It could be a blood painted birth.

That is a fact that cannot be overridden already.

Our power is not excessive, but we cannot have the art of reclaiming the lost others.

That couldn't even be done by my predecessor.

That's why I hope that you, who are here now, are powerful and willing.

Don't get caught up in the sins of a period of unwillingness.

Be aware of your power and be willing to be your own.

Doing what you think you should do on top of that affirms how we are.

That is not about protecting this country.

It is also a choice, but it is not a certainty.

Or you might even hear from someone, 'I'm a hero who devoted his whole life to defending my country', but that's not true.

I chose a lifetime of defending my country because of the atonement for the war that took place on my account before I was born, and because I could not abandon this country myself.

Therefore, even you do not need to martyr on this path.

There is also no obligation to continue to obey what is commanded.

You just have to live as you live.

We are not human beings. Impossible in humans.

So don't get tied up.

Protect what you wanted to protect.

Do what you want to do.

Don't be afraid to do something of your own free will.

No one can bind you.

Because the power and talent you have in your hands is for the future you want.

□ ■ Underground shelter

"Marquis of Findle! Your Highness!

"We'll buy you time!

Immediately after [Velcro] melted down, the six Kingsguard Knights judged quickly.

Step forward to protect the Elizabetes and head to [Ignis].

I understand that there is no winning chance against a monster who also melts a mythical metal golem.

But still, we came forward to buy ourselves a little time to escape Elizabeth, which we should protect.

"Your Lords...... sorry!

To their words, the Marquis of Findle also returns [Velcross] from the devastated impact and begins to open the door of the shelter by manipulating the touch panel of the wall.

It's an escaped shelter, but if this happens, it's no longer a trail. There's nothing more than getting out of here and evacuating to the ground.

(But if the earth is under control... don't think!

Choose a slightly more hopeful path to earth than the 100% death in front of you.

Eventually, the thick door of the shelter opens with the heavy noise......

'Are you going to run away?

[Ignis], who sensed the escape move, attempts to point his four arms at the Marquis of Findle.

"Let it!

"Oh!"

To stop it, six Kingsguard Knights hang up on [Ignis].

The blade does not sink into the strong epidermis, but shallow cuts were made to the four arms.

(not no damage!

(If it hurts......!

The [Holy Knights] of the Kingsguard Knights find a slight chance at that small wound.

That, or it could have been the same as their people relative to [Alanea] on the ground.

But there is a definitive difference between [Alanea] and [Ignis].

"-" Prominence Aura "

Immediately after [Ignis] proclaims it, the statue of its entire body distorts.

That's because the air heated to ultra-high temperatures distorted the light transmitted.

At the same time, the swords of the [Holy Knights] who were waving their swords around [Ignis] melt down and the melted armor burns to their skin.

"Guaaaah!?

"This, Shiki...!

Still, even if I try to wield a substitute weapon, any weapon will melt away if I approach [Ignis].

Create an area of ultra-high heat around your body and use it as an armor for integrated offense.

That being the case, the [Ignis] used does not cause enough heat to damage itself.

For [Ignis], who can control as many as 64 Stars at the same time, it is not a problem such as caloric manipulation to that extent.

Unlike [Alanea], which could have been fought if the poison had been deactivated with [a soothing panacea], approaching [Ignis] is synonymous with approaching death.

Most flying tools and magic are depressed and rendered powerless by heat in an attempt to fight at a distance.

A walking sun that would also be comparable to < super >.

He who burns down everything he inhibits and keeps going to his own ends.

That is [Ignis Idea].

"Your Highness... run away!

"Marquis of Findle! It doesn't matter for us! Do it!

"... Oh!

At the same time as the shelter door opens, the Marquis of Findle further manipulates the touch panel on the wall.

That is the operation of the sprinkler installation.

It turned on a feature that was usually turned off assuming boiling in this shelter as well.

The sprinkler equipment reacted to a huge amount of heat by means of the program set up, and water was discharged from the nozzles that emerged from various parts of the shelter towards [Ignis].

Immediately thereafter, a water vapor explosion occurs with a roar and impact.

Heat instantly turns large amounts of water into gases, and vapours that diffuse around [Ignis] blow up peripherals.

Neither the knight who was around [Ignis] nor [Ignis] is safe.

He is sealed in motion by explosive pressure, and all of his vision is also wrapped in white vapor.

"Your Highness! Prince Tsanron! Hurry up......!

In the meantime, encourage escape from the open shelter door.

As the steam spreads out of the center of the shelter, Elizabeth and the others try to escape through its doors.

But just before that,

"Elizabeth!"

Tsanron called his own fiancée's name for the first time without honoring him.

With his desperate face, he thrusts Elizabeth.

- Shortly afterwards, a hotline penetrated the vapor wall and pierced him.

The sound of meat burning and evaporating echoes the shelter.

So, with the sound of Gushi... the little body of the boy falls down on the floor of the shelter.

"Tsang......?

The Yellow River prince had a big hole in his chest.

Not even a drop of blood flows from a wound burned down by ultra-high fever.

But even the heart had been lost from the pocky, empty torso, and its life and death were evident.

"Tsang...... tsang!

Elizabeth with tears in her eyes shakes his body, but she can't even zero blood in her exhale.

What could be described as life activity no longer appeared to exist in the boy's body.

"What did you hit? You can't see. '

Shortly after I heard such a slight voice from within a series of water vapor explosions,

"Will it last a while longer?"

The same hotline flies in all directions as the previous one.

They destroy the water discharge nozzles as they tear away people and things in the shelter.

With numerous screams in the woods, the hotline of [Ignis] ravages the shelter for every one who misses the escape.

The melting and evaporating sounds, the sound of burning out the meat, and the screams of the samurai make a wooden spirit.

Eventually, most of the water discharge nozzles were lost by the hotline, and [Ignis] was released from the cage of the water vapor explosion.

It doesn't look like it's taking as much damage as it does.

"What are you talking about... you bugger?"

The Marquis of Findle, disturbed by the hotline and losing his tip from the elbow of his right arm, stares abhorrently at [Ignis].

Only two people were not damaged by the hotline.

Only Elizabeth, who was leaning against the fallen Tsanron, and Migliane, who was accidentally in an untouched position of the hotline.

The other things are quite small and hit the hotline, and many are unable to move.

As it is, I can't even get Elizabeth away with it.

"Where's the Great Sage?

But even before such a misery created by himself, [Ignis] 's words remain unchanged.

Like a broken machine, I just want that.

[Ignis] approaches Elizabeth as if she were a monster whose words do not make sense.

"Your Highness! Even one of you, run away...!

Someone who falls screams like that, but Elizabeth doesn't leave beside Tsanron.

Eventually, [Ignis] reaches Elizabeth.

"Where is the Great Sage? If you don't come out, I will kill the princess of the kingdom '

[Ignis] stretched his grilled arm to Elizabeth, mouthing a distorted, but undistorted desire.

Screams and yells are screamed out of the surroundings, but no one can move anymore.

So [Ignis] 's ultra-high temperature arm touched Elizabeth...

- Just before I tried, someone grabbed that arm.

…………

At that time, something purely questionable appeared on [Ignis] 's face, which became alien for the first time.

Somebody grabbed his own arm. Someone's hand is on fire.

The hand that grabbed [Ignis] 's arm is on fire by [Ignis] wrapping his heat around it.

But I won't let you go.

How much power is put into that little hand (...)? The fingers devour into the fortified outer skin of [Ignis], allowing the blood to flow, and the wrapped heat evaporates the blood of [Ignis].

In a sight that can be described as an anomaly, [Ignis] speaks of doubt.

'... what, you?

"... Tsang?

That was at the same time as Elizabeth's question.

The Lord of the little hand who grabbed [Ignis] 's arm... because he was a Tsanron who should have died with a big hole in his chest.

Tsanron, who was lying down, is stretching his right arm and grabbing [Ignis] 's arm, which was supposed to touch Elizabeth.

In addition, [Ignis] has another question.

What's his magic? Now it's like [The Great Sage]... no, just notify me now...)

[Ignis], who devoted all his abilities and talents to fire attribute magic, cannot "Nursing".

Still, I can feel magic sensibly because I am an exceptional magician.

But assuming he had the Nursing, he would have seen the strangest sights in the world.

- The sight of levels and statuses changing at a terrible speed.

And change doesn't stay in the numbers.

"- Don't touch Elizabeth."

Tsanron, who was supposed to be dead, says so and gets up.

Stand divided between [Ignis] and [Ignis] so as to protect Elizabeth.

The hole in his chest was still there... but if you look at it, it was blocked for the most part (...).

The heart and the hearts that should have evaporated are regenerating at super high speeds.

Not only that, but the hand that keeps grabbing [Ignis] 's arm repeats the regeneration at the same time as the combustion, without losing its shape.

Instead, the black bandage he was wrapping around his bare skin... becomes dust and burns out.

"... [self-restraint seal roll] has burned, has it? Until it plays, we can't seal it anymore."

The burning black bandage - he shrugs as he overlooks the 'Restrict Your Status and Skills' Benefit Martial Arts, which he himself has chosen from among the treasure trove of the Yellow River.

For him to come to the kingdom...... the privileged armor he was wearing to hide his identity in Cardina and this kingdom is no longer broken.

"No... I'm not sealing it now"

But that's fine.

What we need now is not to hide it, but to use it.

Power... and yourself.

"Tsang...... aren't you okay?

That's what Elizabeth asked, showing her joy that her friend, who she thought was dead, was safe than her doubts about the anomaly in front of her.

To her like that, Tsang only looked back at her once and smiled...... then turned her gaze back in front again.

"Elizabeth...... I'll tell you what I was about to say."

He spins words.

Keep your back on Elizabeth... without showing that look.

"I am not a prince. I do not have the right to inherit the throne of the Yellow River. I don't deserve that."

It is a continuation of the earlier words,

"And... not even human (...)"

"Huh...?

I kept it in my mouth once...... my secret confession.

Shortly after the confession, his skeleton rings and his hands and feet stretch.

The back length, the width, the boy's body shape changes greatly after that.

On the inside of the skin the muscles rise and on the body surface the scales rise.

Eventually, he was transforming himself into a creature like a dragon and a man.

"Tsang......?

…………

Together, it is close to a relative alteration.

It's what she deserves to be called a bucket thing, for the rest of us...... and who she didn't want to see.

True appearance strictly ordered not to be revealed even from the Emperor, my father, when leaving the country.

Still, he chose to expose himself.

To defend what you want to defend, of your own free will.

He made a choice.

"You..."

When [Ignis] was about to say something, he waved... throwing his own grasping [Ignis] body to the wall in the opposite direction to Elizabeth.

"Gu, wo...!

Impacted far beyond the previous water vapor explosion, [Ignis] blows blood bubbles.

…………

Watching [Ignis] clash against the wall, he walks to a certain place.

That's where [Golem Velcross] was defeated earlier.

He reaches out to the floor and touches what was once [Golem Velcross]...... melted mythical metal.

It instantly reshapes in his hands to shape a single surface.

"- [Football Dragon Face]"

Even the vocal cords are unusual voices, and he calls the name of the face.

It is the name of the surface to which a special super position is subjected during the Yellow River festival.

Knowing its meaning more than anyone else, he puts its face in such a way as to hide his own face, which has become alien.

"You are... who are you?

Who of [Ignis], who is repeated many times, what, or would have been the proxy of many on the spot.

It wasn't the boy who was standing there.

Somewhere narrow of the line, not a young Yellow River prince.

Strengthened limbs, dragon-like body skin, and surfaced monsters.

But if there was a Yellow River human here, at a glance you would have understood who he was.

Things equal to God in the Yellow River.

Yes, he is the one... the most powerful ancient dragon man.

"- [Dragon Emperor" Dragonic Emperor "] Ao Long (Tsanlong) People Vietnam (Renyue)"

- < Irregular (...) >, [Dragon Emperor] of the human world.
