Chapter 174 To The Phoenix'S Nest
We headed to the Forest of Divine Beasts.
I handed dust masks to my two companions to protect them from the deathly ashes stirred up by the Phoenix.
As we entered the forest, it was difficult to move forward due to the raging flames and swirling dust.
"If I didn't have this mask, I'd be dead by now..."
"Don't worry, Mercury-san! If you die, I'll revive you with my medicine each time!"
"Oh, geez! That's not what I meant! Haven't you taken any language classes!?"
"Nope!"
"Ughhhh!"
Mercury-san was full of energy today!
As we continued forward... a sea of fire blocked our path.
"The Phoenix is at the base of the great tree deep inside."
Elf Aegis-san pointed towards the depths of the forest.
Indeed, a massive tree was growing in the distance.
However, surrounding it was a sea of flames.
"Don't go straight through. Maybe try flying..."
Mercury-san attempted to use flying magic.
But...
"It won't work. The magic power is disrupted. It seems magic can't be used here."
"What could be the cause?"
"Perhaps even the Mana in the air is burnt by the Phoenix's flames."
Though it was all a bit confusing, it seemed flying was impossible here without magic.
"Don't worry! Even without magic, I can still fly!"
"Huh... What are you talking about?"
"Prescription: Muscle Enhancement Drug (Boost)!"
I used a drug to temporarily enhance my muscles.
Ggghh... My body filled with strength!
"Hey, Mercury-san!"
"What are you doing!?"
I approached her, trembling, and said,
"I'll grab you and throw you over there!"
"Are you trying to kill me!!!!"
Huh, what!?
"That... you won't die. Old Man Arthur wasn't killed even when thrown at Mach speed..."
"Can't you compare the strongest swordsman with a weak maiden!?"
"But even when he threw me at Mach speed, I was fine..."
"You and those country folks are DIFFERENTTTT! Are you stupid or what!?"
"I'm not stupid! I won't die!"
"ARRGGHHHHHHHH!"
Mercury-san got angry. I regret...
Oh, I got it!
"Then, I'll blow away the flames!"
"No... that's impossible. These flames are the Phoenix's, they'll never disappear..."
"Doping Punchhhhhhhhh!"
With my strengthened body, I delivered a powerful punch.
BOOOOOMMMM!
The flames that were in a straight line to the great tree had all disappeared.
The ground was completely gouged out.
The two were speechless.
Alright!
"The flames are gone! If there's nothing to burn, it can't burn, right?"
"Hey, can't you be a bit more gentle? Do you know the word 'moderation'?"
"Yes!"
"Stop lying, you little BRATTTTT!"
Once again, Mercury-san rubbed my head. Why?
Even though the flames were gone, we could now go ahead... hmm...
