Chapter 18: Chapter 18: I refuse
The red fireball that was as big as a an adult and emitted waves of terrifying heat quickly approached Ignis and because of the close distance between the two, Ignis couldn't dodge in ti, not that he was planning to.
"Co!"
He opened his arms wide like he was about to give the fireball a big hug. There wasn't fear in his eyes but instead greed and excitent. The old giant couldn't understand what Ignis was trying to achieve. The only answer it could co up with was that Ignis had gone insane from the fear of death. Even he, soone with a trace of a True Giant's bloodline was heavily injured by the red flas after just using them as a fireball attack.
The red fireball was like a big balloon as it completely enveloped Ignis's figure when it ca in contact with him.
[It's over.] said the old giant.
The old giant then approached the red flas to collect them and put them back where they belonged. But as he walked over, he realised that sothing was wrong. The montum that carried the red fireball was too strong so after incinerating Ignis, the fireball should have continued to speed in the sa direction, burning everything in its path but that didn't happen.
Instead, the fireball was held in place as though it had collided with an immovable wall. Not just that, the old giant also realised that the fireball had beco much smaller than it initially was.
[Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on . I guess I really am old now. My body in neither as agile, flexible nor as strong as it used to be in the past. I should choose a successor from the village.]
The old giant was about to grab the red fireball when suddenly it disappeared and in its place was the sa person who should have been incinerated by the flas. The only thing incinerated was the lower armour that had completely lted and left Ignis completely naked.
"Hahaha, old geezer, thanks for the gift. That was very kind of you."
...

[Red Flas Refinent will comnce imdiately. Please stay still for sixty seconds for refinent to be complete. Host is advised to not participate in fight during the process of refinent.]
...
The old man wasn't astounded by what was happening. Not only had Ignis survived his attack, he took the attack head-on and even sohow managed to subdue the red flas and assimilate them into his body! This went beyond breaking the rules, this guy was clearly cheating!
Ignis felt his body beco stronger at a very rapid speed and his control over flas beca smoother and more refined, like the flas were a part of his body. His entire body heated up and bloated, obviously he had bitten off slightly more than he could chew.
The old giant thought that Ignis was about to explode but instead Ignis's body just released a lot of thick smoke from his pores and that was the end of it. His skin colour turned from red to pink like he'd just taken a long bath. Ignis felt imnse strength coursing throughout his veins and couldn't wait to test it out.
Refinent Flas or otherwise known as Colour Flas are special flas. These flas are specially used for refinent and usually blacksmiths use when when forging weapons and armor but they are extrely rare and hard to co across.
There are four of these types of flas, Orange Flas, Yellow Flas, Red Flas and finally Green Flas. Orange is the weakest of these flas and green is the strongest.
Colour Flas are used to purify and slt materials for forging and after the forging process is complete, the flas are used again to refine the forged weapon or armour to beco even stronger and durable. With Ignis's system, he used these flas to strengthen his body beyond its capabilities.
When he signed the contract and beca Lord Mazal's Guardian Knight, Mazal used all his connections with his acquaintances to obtain the Orange Flas and the Yellow Flas. After Ignis assimilated them,Lord Mazal felt that he was on the verge breaking through to beco a True Knight but it wasn't enough.
So Lord Mazal went even further and spent a lot of resources he had accumulated over the years to obtain information about the Colour Flas ,the Red Flas to be specific. He didn't hold much expectation from the investigation but was pleasantly surprised to hear that the giants in Ash Valley had them. The information though didn't co from a reliable source so he had to gamble and the gamble paid off.
...
Sitting inside his luxurious mansion, Mazal was listening to the report from his City Inspectors when suddenly his aura surged and his Mana Scripture operated by itself and drew Mana from the surroundings.
Boom!
An explosion occurred within his body and his aura beca uncontrollable and pushed everyone and everything away. He could feel that he had beco very powerful and his worldview changed. He was about to celebrate when his aura surged again and beca heavier.
Boom!
"Hahaha! Interdiate-Grade True Knight! A double breakthrough! He succeeded... Ignis actually succeeded and obtained it!" he said with shock and ecstasy.
Knight and Mage Ranks also had sub-grades dividing them. Beginner, Interdiate and Advanced. These three sub-grades monitored one's improvent in their Knight or Mage Ranks. This was how the natives of Lumina knew of their improvents or how far they had to go to breakthrough to the next Rank.
Mazal felt that sothing was floating above his head and looked up to see what it was, he was flabbergasted to see a number floating above his head.
LvL 24
That was what was floating above his head and from interacting with Ignis, he knew that this number corresponded to his strength. And others with systems or sothing similar could see how strong he currently was.
a ssage received directly through his Soul.
Mazal knew that it was the Array Spirit that had sent him this information. He didn't expect to not be teleported imdiately and was glad. The status of City Lord really did co with a lot of benefits.
"Congratulations City Lord for your advancent!
"Congratulations City Lord for your advancent!
"Congratulations City Lord for your advancent!
...
His surbodinates congratulated him for his advancent and he thanked them all as their happiness was genuine.
"Thank you everyone. Now, I want you to prepare a banquet. It will imdiately comnce when Ignis returns! Invite everyone who has a good relationship with !"
...
Back at Ash Valley, Ignis looked at the old giant with eyes filled with battle intent. He truly wanted to test his strength imdiately and who was better to do so than this old geezer.
"Old man, fight ! I promise that no matter the outco of the battle, we'll leave your territory and never co back!"
[I refuse!]
