Although it's not as apparent as an evil magic user, this flamedemon certainly has an evil essence and it means he is already in contact with those evil magic users.

Now I have two options; first is to go all out and instantly defeat him before he can use evil essence or second is to stall him with water magic and provoke him to reveal his identity.

If I think about temporary safety then the first option is the right choice but it can cause trouble in the long term.

I can't imagine what evil magic users think like, but if I defeat him here then he will probably come after me later.

It's better to just reveal his evil essence and let the authority of the city handle him.

Putting more power in the spell I launched another 'Aqua Drill' as soon as the previous one disappeared.

Flamedemon getting startled by sudden attack, couldn't help but take a step back while resisting with another magic attack.

The flames come out from his staff in a spiraling motion, which creates a tornado shaped blast of flames and resists my 'Aqua Drill'.

It's 'Spiral Flame' another single target magic but it has wider coverage in the shorter range compared to the 'Fire Line'.

Unfortunately for him, I am not in the mood of giving him a breather as I cast another spell which is similar to 'Aqua Drill'.

Several streams of water are released from my side which are thinner than the previous Aqua Drill but are much harder to deal with as they attacked Flamedemon from several directions.

'Sea Serpent's Den'

A control-attack type magic, its mana consumption is the same as aqua drill but it requires stronger mental power to control it.

"Wha-! How can a ki-?!"

Flamedemon jumped back in panic to dodge the attack while increasing the power of his 'Spiral Flame'.

"You Forced me to use it! Now you are going to regret it!"

Flamedemon shouted as a shadow of a giant spider flashed behind him.

The next moment a burst of flames manifested on the ground surrounding him, and several strands of flame are released from his side that countered my magic and also attacked me.

This should be his magic core ability, this is probably the 'Flame Array' ability of 'Volcano Spider'. Its flame is not only hot but also is faintly poisonous.

As I thought up the idea, I cast defensive magic 'Water Barrier' but when those strands of flame touched it, I could feel heat from them as they slowly made their way through it.

'Ozone Barrier' is my own creation. It is a two layered barrier, forming the outside layer with dense O3 and inside layer of dense hydrogen.

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the different types of gases in the atmosphere and finally came up with this idea. I made it purely to counter fire and light magic.

As expected, it successfully blocked those flame strands. Now I just need to hold on, such a magic core ability uses a large amount of magic energy so he will not be able to sustain the attack for too long.

After the Ozone Barrier is stabilized, I started to move forward along with it to reduce the distance between me and my opponent.

"There is no way I am going to lose to a kid!"

"Ughh!"

Flamedemon yells in a furious way as he loses his calm. The purple tint in his flame started to become completely visible to the naked eyes.

"What's that?"

"Purple flames? I am seeing it for the first time"

I can hear the confused voices of the audiences, they probably don't know that these are the signs of evil essence, otherwise it had already caused a panic among them.

Soon almost eighty percent of the flame turned purple and started breaking my defenses, so I had to stop right there.

"Have you had enough? Now it's my turn!"
