Match's Perspective
____________________
[You have mastered the [Blue Fire]- You can summon azure flas, which is more efficient combustion. This blaze would devour anything in its way. But do be careful when using this spell, especially when you are not versed in proficiently using your arcane.]
My system warned about the terrors that my abilities might bring to my body. It was the first ti that my notification communicated with . However, those things were not prominent for right now.
I did not know what these details ant for , but I needed to save Red! And I must save her now!`
But, alas, my body's reaction failed . It happened so fast that I could not save the girl that I trusted the most.
The bullet hit Red, which rendered her unconscious… or even worse. Right before my eyes, Red fell to the ground. I did not want to think of that outco anymore.
Even in her death, Red raised her arms, trying to warn about the incoming shell in my direction. She whispered sothing to , but I couldn't hear it. I could only guess that she wanted to warn about the magic spell heading towards .
Thanks to my roaring flas, the bullet lted right away, even before hitting my skin. The tal-containing shell dripped on the ground, covering a part of the soil. My sweat ca dripping afterwards, telling that the fire was too hot for to handle.
My eyes glowed in the darkness, consuming both the foggy air and the things approaching . Everything known to humankind turned into ashes, including the other projectiles racing at . The flas coated my body, enhancing my defences. After so ti, the twisting fire spread to the forest, hunting for these players.
Thousands of screams echoed inside the forest, telling that the fire ca into contact with these players. So players even revealed themselves from the hiding spots, while others beca dust with no one noticing it.
I brushed those adventurers aside and locked my eyes at the player still grabbing Red's thigh. I did not want to hurl a fireball on their way, thinking that my spell might hit Red. So I planned on going there myself to rescue my friend… who I already considered as my sister.
I leapt from the ground and headed towards Red. A burst of flas left my feet, amplifying my speed to reach my destination...
As soon as I landed on the ground, the flas burned the weeds, touching my feet. Those unfortunate plants had to kiss their soil goodbye, as I sched on killing the players right after.
"S-Spare ! P-Please!"
"..."
My nerve wanted to pop right here and now after hearing such a pitiful wail coming from the player. I lifted my arms and conjured a magic circle in front of the man. After a few seconds, a burst of flas ate him alive.
"You didn't even spare Red. Why would I spare you?" My voice sounded low as the rock-bottom.
I narrowed my eyes and turned around, looking at the other player who thought of running away. But no matter how hard that adventurer tried, the flas were already blocking his path. There was nowhere else to hide besides fighting .
"Going sowhere?"
"B-By the order of Asimov, Warner, I will arrest you for the cris you committed!" The soldier exclaid, as he aid his gun in my direction. "You have the right to remain silent, NPC. Turn around and place your hands at your back!"
'Who does he think he is? Does this player know the situation?' I thought, as I prepared my set of spells on the palm of my hand.
I was not afraid of that weapon, since my fire was superior to that thing. Since I caught the bullets from before, that was enough to tell that these players were the inferior ones. My flas were faster than any weapon they could find here in Code.
"Asimov? So that's the na of the ga creator in this world?" I murmured, and sauntered towards the soldier.
That man in front of had a stern look on his face. He had prepared himself to die on this battlefield. But with his last breath, that player wanted to take down with him. Since all of his troops died from the flas, going back now would deem him a coward.
I had no ti to idle around and chit-chat with this adventurer. If I want to save Red, now is the ti to do that. However, I had a dilemma. This person might know sothing about this world that Red might want to know after she wakes.
"Yes! All the soldiers outside of the ga ca here to hunt you! Red Riding Hood! If we eliminate the cause of this catastrophe, the world will return to its order!" The soldier shouted, and held his weapon. "You are the primary cause of the disaster happening in this world! We plan on eradicating every NPC in Code! You cannot stop us! Even if you kill , billions of my n will hunt you do-."
I had enough listening to the man's words, so I burned him using my flas. That soldier had no ti to react as the fire zood in on his body. But he never wailed, unlike the rest of his comrades behind. That player took everything as if it was his ti.
"I hope this war stops…" Those were the last words that escaped his mouth.
The player's corpse remained to kneel on the ground, staring at with worried eyes. He knew I was still a kid despite being an NPC in this world. That soldier was just doing her job, and I was doing mine.
The adventurer wanted to stop this war and prevent the death of millions of humans by his side. I wanted to save Red and free ourselves in Code.
My flas had a mind of their own, as it continued finding players in the woodland. None of them fled from my spell, considering the speed and power that my abilities had. However, that arcane ca with a price.
I fell on the ground and laid beside Red. All the energy remaining inside my body left . As I gazed at my arm, violent cuts and burn mark erged on my skin. My skin wailed in pain as if I drowned myself under a boiling pot of water. The only thing that I could think of was to wipe myself on a pillar of ice. I could only hope that rubbing my face on that chilling surface would make the sting go away.
"AARGH!" I scread as loud as my lungs could. It was the only redy that averted my focus from the churning sensation.
The glow in my eyes faded away and deactivated my powers. Since I already defeated the players, there was no use for to use my powers.
'I killed them,' I thought, but shook my head afterwards. There was no point in bathing myself with regret and remorse for these players who hurt Red.
And I wanted to do this. Those people did bad things to my sister… to Red. I will return their favour to them!
'Match… stay focused… or else… you'll beco… unconscious… "
Fatigue finally hit as my view changed. All I could see beca blurred images of trees and the horizons above , distorting everything I see. It was as if my eyes bathed themselves underwater, and my muscles refused to move on their own.
But I needed to stay strong and carry Red away from danger! Red needed more dical attention than !
The wounds on my skin beca worse with every passing second. The flas that I commanded earlier ate my flesh and cut deep through my skin. I couldn't find any stream close by, and I did not know any spell that could summon water. There was nothing else I could do but to grit my teeth and suck the pressure up!
'I'm a strong girl… I'm a strong girl…' I repeated, while moving closer to Red.
Upon reaching for the hooded girl, I placed my arms around her head, caressing her crazed hair. Red always did this to earlier, especially when we were inside the inn. She would tell stories about her and how she got her powers. But right now, she was not awake in my arms.
"Pulse… good… "
Red instructed to find a pulse in our wrist to know if soone was still alive. I was fortunate enough to feel sothing vibrating inside Red's skin. However, this was as far as I could go. I rested my head on Red's chest and prayed that soone would help us.
"Red! Match!" Olivia ca rushing towards us, but she was too late.
I was already losing my focus as my body forced to sleep. The last thing I saw was a figure of a man standing in front of Red and . He wore an obsidian hood and had scales for skin. That mysterious man revealed his face.... But my conscience had already left my body.
