Chapter 471: Absolute Ignition (2)

Just as Bloed thought, Eres's sudden surge in strength was not without a price.

Her surge in strength was due to an innate ability that she was born with. Few people know about it, and in fact, she only discovered it a few months after Bloed was exiled, so he did not know about it either.

Eres called that ability, [Absolute Ignition]; and as its name indicated, it allowed her to burn anything.

Of course, it was not as simple as that. [Absolute Ignition] could burn anything in theory, but actually, she could hardly use this ability.

If she tried to burn something like, a piece of paper, then she would need to use up a great amount of mana. So much that it was dumbfounding.

Thus, after Eres discovered this ability, she thought for a while that it was useless.

But even so, she decided to study it in her pursuit of greater strength.

And her persistence allowed her to find two ways to use this ability.

The first one was fusing it with the greatest sword technique of her family, [Skysword]. Through it, Eres created a powerful transparent flame able to burn space itself. She called these flames [World Burning Flames].

And the second way was by burning her own mana.

By burning her own mana, Eres could erupt with an extremely powerful strength for a short period of time. It made her as strong as a demigod and even allowed her to do things that only demigods could do, such as flying.

She called this technique the same that her innate ability, [Absolute Ignition].

But the downside of this ability was that besides consuming an enormous amount of mana, it also puts a huge burden on her body.

Even in her best condition, Eres could only use this ability for around fifteen minutes. If she surpassed this time, she would have to spend several days in bed after that.

However, today she had already used [Absolute Ignition] for around ten minutes when she fought the demigods of King's Shadows and the demigod woman of Returning Dusk.

'I guess I must end this fast then.' Eres thought to herself as she took one step forward.

A determined expression appeared on Eres's face. She stared at the nine creatures in front of her as she held her sword calmly.

Then, she narrowed her eyes–

[Absolute Ignition]!

And transparent flames bloomed out of her body.

*Boom!*

Eres disappeared. She moved so fast that nobody managed to follow her movements!

The creatures screeched nervously. The aura coming out of Eres's body made them felt threatened, and instinctively, they moved closer to each other to defend against the black-haired princess.

But it was useless.

*Swish!*

Like the wind, Eres moved unimpeded behind one of the creatures. Then, she swung her sword coated in transparent flames, cutting its back.

The creature was unable to react. When it felt the pain in its back, it was already too late.

In the next instant, the transparent flames extended over its entire body, burning it to ashes in less than one second.

Not even its ability to consume energy could save it.

'One down.' Eres's eyes flashed with a cold light.

But it was just the start.

While the creatures were still confused by the sudden death of one of their own, Eres charged towards another creature.

Her sword clad in flames sliced the air, moving towards the creature's head at great speed.

However, this creature's reaction was faster than the first.

*Screech!*

With a cry, it jumped up and stuck to a wall like a gecko, avoiding Eres's sword, before jumping back towards Eres to counterattack.

Its speed was extremely fast. It faintly exceeded the speed of an A-Rank, reaching the realm of demigods.

At the same time, another two creatures jumped towards Eres as well, trying to tear her body into pieces!

But when the creatures' claws were about to reach her, Eres's lips curved into a smirk.

"Idiots."

Then, a wall of transparent flames rose between the creatures and her.

*Screech!*

The creatures screamed in fear and hurriedly retreated in a panic!

They had seen the effect of the flames, and they knew how deadly they were. If the flames touched them, they were as good as dead.

But one of the creatures was a bit too slow to react and one of its claws touched the wall of flames.

*Screech!*

The creature cried in terror. It hurriedly used its other claw to cut off the claw that was burning, but to its bad luck, its other claw touched the flames in the process!

And this time, it could not cut it off.

In the end, it could only shriek in pain and terror and its entire body was slowly consumed by the transparent flames.

'Two down.' Eres's gaze was ice-cold. Without any hesitation, she kicked the ground and accelerated towards a third creature.

But this time, the creatures were much warier than before.

The creature that she was aiming for retreated swiftly, avoiding her attacks. At the same time, other creatures attacked her from all directions.

She tried to use the wall of flames again, but the creatures were prepared for it this time. As soon as they felt the flames, they moved away without any hesitation.

Eres's face turned solemn. These creatures were much more cunning than she expected!

She could not continue using her flames like this. Her World Burning Flames used a lot of mana, plus, she was using Absolute Ignition as well. Right now, her mana was being consumed at a great speed.

She needed to kill the five creatures before her mana was exhausted.

Eres narrowed her eyes. She stared at the creatures carefully before fixing her gaze on one of them.

'This one is next.'

During the battle, she noticed that this creature's reaction was slightly slower than the others. If she used the right strategy, she was confident she could kill it.

Thus, she did not hesitate and charged towards it!

The creature felt her intention. It jumped into the wall of a nearby building and walked on it as a gecko, distancing itself from Eres.

But it underestimated the black-haired princess.

When she saw the creature jump, she jumped as well.

Then, she used the air as a foothold, kicking it and shooting her body towards the creature!

"You are mine!"

Before the creature could react, Eres was already in front of it with her sword ready to cut it into two!

But just then–

*Screech!*

Another creature appeared below the one that Eres was attacking and jumped towards her.

At the same time, the first creature avoided her sword with swift movements completely different to its movements before and attacked Eres!

'A trap!' Eres's face changed.

The first creature had been acting as bait from the start!

Eres could not believe the level of intelligence of the creatures. They had managed to fool her and led her into a trap without her noticing!

But now was not the time to think about that. At this rate, she would be seriously injured or maybe even killed!

'A wall of flames! No, it won't appear in time… Then, I can only ta0ke the blow!'

Placing her sword in front of her, Eres got ready to receive the attacks of the creatures.

But at that moment–

*Swish!*

A figure suddenly appeared behind one of the two creatures, looking at it coldly with his bright blue eyes and using his saber to cut it into two.

It was Bloed!

He had used his optical camouflage and took advantage of when the creatures were focused on Eres to sneak on one of them!

Eres was surprised to see Bloed, but in the next instant, her lips curved up in a smile.

Now that one of the creatures had been killed, the other one was not a problem.

Twisting her body, she avoided the attack of the remaining creature, before slashing it with her sword.

In the next second, the creature turned into ashes.

'Four down.' Eres grinned and turned towards Bloed.

"Thank you, Brother."

Bloed smiled and was about to tell her that they still needed to kill the remaining creatures, but all of sudden, a powerful surge of energy appeared above them.

Bloed turned pale. He hurriedly looked up, only to see the dragon looking at them with his mouth wide open.

[Die, little bastards!]

One instant later, the dragon shot his breath towards them.
