[58] Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

August lay on a massive rock, and below, a large number of monsters continued to spawn.

Dozens, hundreds, until the surroundings were densely packed with monsters, August nodded, indicating that it was almost enough.

And because of his actions, some monsters on the adamantite mine side had already rushed over.

However, August wasn't worried. There were two Level 5 adventurers, Ais and Bete, there. With them, there wouldn't be any problems.

His gaze fell on the monsters around, and August's lips curled up slightly. Then, he took out a card.

Ninjutsu Card - Great Fire Annihilation, a disposable skill card August had drawn before.

Click~

August crushed the card, his face filled with anticipation.

Then, a phantom appeared beside August, dressed like a certain ninja from anotrher world, with spiked long hair, emitting an intimidating aura.

The Legendary Uchiha - Uchiha Madara!

However, this Uchiha Madara phantom had no will of its own. In August's eyes, it looked more like a machine mechanically executing commands.

Under August's gaze, Uchiha Madara began to form hand seals:

Rat - Ox - Dog - Horse - Monkey - Boar - Tiger!

"Fire Release - Great Fire Annihilation!"

A proud voice echoed, and then, a massive fireball descended towards the ground.

Boom~!

The moment it landed, the flames instantly exploded, turning the surroundings into a sea of fire. Uchiha Madara phantom disappeared along with the completion of its task.

At this moment, August extinguished the water candle and quietly observed the scene below.

Powerful! Incredibly powerful!

This was just a ninjutsu, and Uchiha Madara's most potent ability was his Sharingan.

The monsters below, like ants, were swiftly cleared in the blink of an eye.

The only thing August was worried about was whether the drop items and magic stones under this sea of fire would also be incinerated.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, host, for completing the mission : 'Hunting Moment I: Kill 10 level 2 monsters, 10/10. Completion Reward: Normal draw twice!']

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission : 'Hunting Moment II: Kill 100 level 2 monsters, 100/100. Completion Reward: Normal draw six times!']

In an instant, two system missions were completed, and eight normal draws were obtained.

Upon opening the system, the completion rate for the third hunting mission had reached [374/1000], and this number continued to grow.

With a single strike, over three hundred monsters were instantly annihilated. This was the most satisfying monster grinding experience for August.

On the other side, at the adamantite mine, Bete kicked a monster that pounced towards him and then saw a sea of fire in the distance.

Even the entire floor was rendered orange-red by this sea of fire, appearing somewhat desolate.

"What is that guy doing? And this sea of fire, could he also use flame magic?"

Bete was incredibly shocked. Such terrifying magic, though not as powerful as Riveria, was definitely beyond what a Level 2 could achieve. 

After clearing the surrounding monsters with a single sword, Ais looked at the sea of fire covering the ground, her eyes flickering.

She pursued strength, unparalleled strength. Now, as long as August continued to grow stronger, then she had not misjudged. August was the person who could help her become stronger.

After about fifteen minutes, everything settled, and the flames slowly extinguished.

August jumped down, and the ground was covered with countless magic stones. As for the drop items, there was none in sight.

These were all magic stones dropped by Level 2 monsters, over three hundred of them, a considerable income.

After spending a little time cleaning up the battlefield, August discovered a few lucky survivors. In the end, he harvested a total of 374 magic stones. As for the drop items, there were none.

While August was counting his gains, Bete and Ais had already rushed over.

"Are you okay, August?"

As soon as she arrived, Ais ran to August's side, her face full of concern.

Seeing this, Bete, who originally wanted to ask a question, suddenly turned purple-faced. He regretted it. Why did he come over to eat this dog food? He was a wolf, not a dog.

"I'm fine, no need to worry."

Looking at Ais, August answered with a smile. Seeing Ais like this, August wondered whether he should completely color her in his own hues.

August had been hesitating all along because they had known each other for too long. Ais being so close to him was also influenced by lust.

Now it seemed that he was too indecisive. Regardless of the reason, Ais was already his. It was impossible for August to give up on her. Since that was the case, it would be better to make everything clear.

"You're not dead yet, jerk."

"Thanks to you, not yet."

"Hmph, what exactly happened just now? Don't tell me you've learned a fire magic?"

"Not exactly, I just obtained a magic sword, so I wanted to test its power."

Bete, upon hearing this, had a twitch in the corner of his mouth.

That was a magic sword. Even the cheapest ones cost tens of thousands of valis.

Not to mention how powerful it was, it was comparable to first-rate magic. The price was astronomical.

Such a precious item, something used for self-preservation, was actually used just to test its power?

"Wait a minute, where did you get the money to buy a magic sword?"

"Oh, this? It was a gift from Tsubaki. I kept saying I didn't need it, but she insisted on giving it to me. It's troublesome, but the power is really good."

Boasting, blatant boasting.

At this moment, Bete immediately turned around and left. He didn't want to say another word to this jerk.

He was afraid he couldn't control himself and would kick this jerk to death.

Bete was incredibly envious at the moment. He also wanted this kind of treatment.

His magic could amplify itself by absorbing magic, and usually, when he wanted to use it, he used a magic sword for amplification. That is, he borrowed the magic of his teammates when he was with them.

Over the years, the number of magic swords he consumed was not a small figure.

And in the entire Orario there weren't many blacksmiths who could forge magic swords, and Tsubaki was one of them.

Most of his magic swords were purchased from the Hephaestus Familia. Over the years, he had often been teased and ridiculed by Tsubaki, but he had never encountered such a good thing as receiving a gift of a magic sword.

This made him extremely jealous. Was the gap between people really that big?

Little did he know that all this was just August casually making things up to tease him. It was just to mock him.

And August was also very happy. There was nothing more enjoyable than teasing a tsundere wolf. For someone with a conflicted heart, making him sour and jealous was immensely satisfying.
