Year 1400 of the Imperial calendar - Shouyo continent - Execution grounds
(Ifrit POV)
With the arrogant Fire Spirit King flying in the sky, I get ready to prove myself worthy.
"Villaness go to a safe place, we will take care of this" Ifrit
The harem members of the Isekai hero do not stand idle and swing their weapons at us.
"!!!" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel
They got faster than before, but it is still not enough.
"..." Alastor
My partner stands in their way and a wave of electricity knocks them out.
"It is a pity that their efforts have been deposited in the system" Alastor
The Chosen One of god begins to move.
"I won't let you hurt anyone else!" Maine Yuna Dusoleil
In her right hand, a book of light appears and the two protector beasts come out of it.
"It seems that this time it's my turn to buy some time" Alastor
Both bears set Alastor as their target.
"!" Kumayuru
Alastor pats the head of the charging white bear with enough force to make it kneel.
"Kuma?" Kumakyu
The pink bear also charges at him from a different direction, but his time Alastor jumps on top of it.
"Kuma!" Kumakyu
And he begins to ride it as if it were the training of a wild horse.
"Get off my Kumakyu!" Maine Yuna Dusoleil
"Jijiji" Alastor
He seems to be having fun.
"Let's get this started" Ifrit
With the villainess and the saintess out of the way, I recreate the wings of Bahamut on my back and jump into the sky.
"I am Ifrit, a challenger to the Sovereign Rank!"
Flying at the same height as him, I declare my intentions.
"..." Bahamut
There is no response from him.
"Speak up, Fire king!" Ifrit
"..." Bahamut
There is something strange about him, maybe it is because he was sealed a long time ago.
"You leave me no choice" Ifrit
Whatever the reason, I'm not going to pass up this opportunity!
"Take this!" Ifrit
Both my fist and my right foot burn in a concentrated flame.
"Flaming Crush!" Ifrit
I hit the air with those three limbs to add physical force to the fireballs directed at him.
"..." Bahamut
He swiftly dodges them by flying up into the sky.
"You won't get away!" Ifrit
I follow behind him.
"!!!" Ifrit
Its scales detach from its body and fall like a rain of projectiles toward me.
"So you also do that" Ifrit
I could counter them with mine, but his are bigger and stronger, so I just dodge them.
"..." Bahamut
The Fire Elemental King disappears into the clouds.
"How up do you want to go?" Ifrit
I pierce through the white clouds and come out at the same altitude as his.
"..." Bahamut
He shows me his back, spreading his wings and arms towards the sun as if reunited with an old friend.
"Dont understimate me!" Ifrit
I ignite my whole body to increase my speed.
"Inferno Howl!" Ifrit
I fly straight at him and deliver a double punch attack to his back.
"..." Bahamut
I manage to break some of his gray scales, but he is still unresponsive.
"What is wrong with you? fight!" Ifrit
This isn't what I was looking forward to!
"..." Bahamut
He turns his body together with his dragon face to me and when our identical eyes meet, he finally speaks.
"...Look carefully, future queen of fire" Bahamut
From inside its mouth, I see it.
"...?!" Ifrit
Fire, lightning, and light writhing in so many layers that they disturb the space.
"That is...!" Ifrit
The energy outside the four elements is created in front of me.
{Zero Flare} Bahamut
The beam of pure destruction misses my head by centimeters.
"..." Ifrit
I look behind me and this time it was me who was speechless.
"Incredible..." Ifrit
The attack of the king cuts through all the clouds to the horizon, and if it weren't for the two moons intact in the distance, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it even pierced outer space.
"..." Bahamut
He crosses its arms while flapping its wings.
"...So it was like that" Ifrit
His body begins to disintegrate into particles of light.
"Your time was over even before the fight even started" Ifrit
The time he was sealed was too much even for the strongest of the spirits.
{Go to the Demon Continent, you will find them there} Bahamut
That was his last message before disappearing forever.
"..." Ifrit
My body absorbs the little reminder of Spirit Power left by him.
"At least I won't leave empty-handed" Ifrit
It isn't enough to become a Fire Spirit Queen, but it will be useful.
"Thanks, King of all spirits" Ifrit
The clouds at my feet start changing in form and color.
"What is happening down there?" Ifrit
A spiral of dark clouds surrounds me.
