266 Battle of Flas
"So you need a Psychic tad beast?"
Threya asked, tilting her head to one side.
"Then I suggest you take a look at the Governnt Office first. There should be tar-less beasts and monsters there."
The Governnt Office... Right! How could I completely forget about that?
The Governnt Office isn't a place where you can get a monster to ta. However, when a tar dies, the tad monsters that got left behind would be taken care of under the Governnt Office for a short duration. While they are there, other tars can attempt to contract them. That was basically the sa as how I got Fang before, although she wasn't kept at the Governnt Office, but at the Stadium's holding cell.
However, it's a ga of probability if there is one there who is a Psychic type, as it is a slightly rare elent. Not as rare as Void or Ti elents, but not as common as shadow and fire elents either.
"Still, better than searching for one blindly. Thanks for the info!"
I quickly expressed my appreciation for her suggestion.
After all, if she didn't remind of the Governnt Office, then I'd probably be wandering the city in search of a beast that matches my requirents.
As we continued partaking in the tea and sandwich, ti passed like it was nobody's business. When lunchti ca, I also took out food that I had inside my [Spatial Storage] and shared it with Threya in return for the food and tea.
The girls took turns having lunch, eating monstrous quantities as usual, before returning to their divided battlefield. Around the middle of the afternoon, the waves started becoming stronger, with the minimum level upping to the 7th stage.
Ember and Fang started struggling, but with Igni's support, they were still able to manage. Threya's pug, Peabody, was unable to hold back and hide his power any longer. Before our eyes, it started transforming, becoming larger and larger until it was as tall as the wall was, reaching five ters.
Its four short legs were wrapped with blazing red flas, while its plain light-brown body changed, with black tribal markings appearing all over its body. A fiery ribbon was wrapped around its neck, undulating as if it had a life of its own.
Its face, still as flat as it was before, turned to look a lot fiercer. A black outline covered the sides of its eyes as if it hadn't slept for weeks, while the pupils were covered by bluish-white flas.
"Your pug was also a fire elent?"
I was surprised, as it was not really obvious from just looking at it. Rather, just from the fla elent it released, it was even more powerful than Igni!
"Peabody is a pure fire elental after all."
"An Elental?!"
Fina reacted exaggeratedly as she heard what the pug's true identity was. I'm not sure what an Elental was, but since it was already introduced anyway, I just turned to appraise Peabody as is. However, the information I received was outside of my expectations.
Peabody's title was the Duke of Godly Flas. It was extrely rare to have the term "god" used as a modifier, and most of the ti, the one possessing such a modifier ended up reaching the God tier without much trouble. But that wasn't the only thing that surprised .
As I appraised him, the information about an Elental appeared in my head, clearing up my lack of knowledge. Apparently, an Elental is a type of semi-spiritual being that can wield the true power of its elent. As Peabody possesses the fire elent, it ans it can control temperature at its will.
If another fire elent was matched against him, then it would be a hundred percent impossible for the other party to touch him, much less clinch a victory.
As the pug finished its transformation, it leaped up and landed on the forest floor. From the four points of contact it had with the ground, flas started spreading uncontrollably, raising a large conflagration that was seemingly gaining montum as ti passed.
Demons weren't intimidated by his display, however, and still tried to fight against him. They dove into the burning forest, attempting to approach, but as soon as the flas licked their bodies, the flas enveloped them, burning them to ashes in monts.
"Kuh!"
Igni, seeing the power of the Fla Elental Pug, gritted her teeth. From the link with her, I could feel a wave of envy and a burning fighting spirit. It's good that her heart didn't break from seeing the strength of his flas, but I wouldn't allow her to fight against this pug, ever.
Peabody was just standing proudly in the middle of the burning ground, the area of ashes slowly expanding, as if he had erected his own little domain. Igni, as if competing, let her [Fla Clad] exude flas as far as possible. The leaves, grass, trees, and even rock started lting, morphing the area around her into an inviolable zone where not even Ember or Fang could enter.
However, unlike Peabody, who was safe in the middle of his domain, and unable to be approached by the demons around him, Igni was still forced to fight bitter battles against 8th-stage demons. Her flas weren't as potent as his, making her face warp in anger, not toward the pug but at herself.
"Too weak... I need more firepower!"
As she muttered as if in a trance, the flas surrounding her suddenly turned from a reddish-orange hue into a green one. As soon as that happened, a wave of heat washed over the entire battlefield, even reaching us, who were a kiloter away, resting on top of the wall.
"Igni, no!"
That girl—is she using her ace-in-the-hole again? Borrowing power from her future self?! However, it wasn't as I thought. Igni was using all her knowledge and was simply refining her skill, and out of luck, or maybe divine providence, she managed to "create" a completely different one, a skill that can be called her own.
"[Ignis Fatuus: Soul Eating Flas]!"
The notification echoed in my mind, letting hear the cool-sounding na. Did Igni na it like that? Or is that really a skill that existed beforehand? Either way, now that her flas got a boost, even the 8th-stage demons weren't able to stay in her flas anymore.
As soon as the green-and-white flas touched any living thing, not only would their bodies burn grandly, but their souls would even ignite themselves, slowly disintegrating until they completely vanished.
It was a powerful skill; however, it's not for use on a cramped battlefield like this. Fang and Ember, who were close to Igni, were near the edge of her range. The fla's tongue was able to reach them!
"Ember, Fang! Don't touch the flas!"
I quickly warned, but before I even did so, they had already finished moving out of the way, far from the reach of the green flas.
Two flas, one green and one red, started eating up the entire forest. The orange fla disintegrates the demon's body instantly, leaving nothing but ashes, while the green flas burn the soul, leaving unmoving corpses to be slowly turned into charcoal.
The other two were completely sidelined. They were unable to even approach the battlefield anymore, as the two fla specialists were basically dominating the entire battlefield.
Soon, their flas t in the middle. The two colors intertwined, fighting for dominance, but were unable to push each other back. Pug and Igni stared at each other, seeing that they were "equal" in terms of dominating the field.
A smile appeared on their faces as if coming to an understanding, before they turned to face forward, running closer to where the rest of the demons were, now afraid of approaching the raging flas.
The two, as if they were the only ones existing on the battlefield other than the enemies, were racing against each other. They were probably looking at who would be able to kill more in the end.
The other two returned to our side, as they were unable to participate in the battle anymore. After all, entering the flas would only harm them, with no benefits at all.
With Ember and Fang added to the mix, the little picnic beca much livelier as the won started chatting about random things. I, as the only man, might feel proud of being surrounded by beauties, but I was completely lost listening to them speak.
I could only focus on eating snacks and drinking tea, listening to them idly.
Soon, the end of our shift ca. Igni and Peabody finally appeared once more, coming from over the horizon and to the wall in monts. Igni was panting heavily, but the pug just transford back into its previous, tiny appearance. It wasn't showing any tiredness in its expression at all, and it even looked at Igni with a sneer.
"Ugh…! You are powerful, I admit, but my flas aren't weaker than yours!"
Igni roared before she fell down, completely losing steam. Soon after, a series of peaceful sleeping sounds ca from her, making us feel relief.
"Well, I guess this is it for today. See you tomorrow!"
Threya waved her hand, moving ahead of us after cleaning up her picnic set. I, on the other hand, was forced to carry Igni on my back as we teleported back to the town.
Since we were already familiar with the cityscape, after leaving Igni in our room, the rest ca together to the Governnt Office. It's finally ti to see if our next companion is here, waiting for us!
