How the hell did you get there?
''Huh, I only forced my way through with alchemy after examining the opinions of my excellent assistant.

　Wraith dresses up and brushes his hair and smiles wryly. However, the person in question, who has been certified as an excellent assistant, is not happy about it.

You don't mean me, an excellent assistant?　Also, please realize something's wrong when you say 'forced'.
Don't get hung up on the details.

　Seth chokes on his words as he is pointed at by the bishops. I don't remember being an assistant, but I do feel like I have one thing to say to my insolent professor.

'No way, no way!　There's no way you can use alchemy in this volcano that I control!
'What? I've never heard of that. Really?
'Oh, sure, it's better than magic, but alchemy is pretty limited, too.
I'm just saying it works fine.

　As a wraith, the feeling of using alchemy is the same as usual. Even when he was told that he was restricted, it didn't feel good.

　And Seth had witnessed the Wraith's rampage to the point of shocking the entire volcano. I had to wonder if he was limited by that thing.

'Well, I'll make one exception here,'
'That's not acceptable!　Yeah, you're ridiculous!

　The flames swell in response to Salamander's anger. The exchange sounds like a farce, but in terms of strength, the Salamander has the upper hand.

''Ummm, we're not going to fight...''

　Wraith scratches his cheek in annoyance. With a languid sigh, he made a brilliant turn and went behind Lurimes and the others.

　In the safety zone, he pointed to the salamander like a commanding officer.

'Alright, good luck, masters!

　It's a clean slate for others. Lurimes and Sylvia take the lead with a wry smile. There's nothing Wraith, Seth and Raffy can do in this place.

　At best, they can only agitate the salamander. That is if they are prepared to be turned into extinguished coals.

''Sylvia-chan, please offset the Salamander's magic. Leave the attack to me...
I understand.

　With a single word, I confirm the procedure and prepare to attack still.
　Every time the salamander's flame swells, the temperature around it improves, and the suffocation becomes stronger in proportion.

　A single ray of sweat that trickled down Wraith's cheeks fell to the ground with a plop, at that moment.

''Go away, human!

　With a salamander's cry, a huge flame was released. In the blink of an eye, Wraith unconsciously squinted as his vision was dyed all red.

　Beyond the faded vision, Sylvia is trying to release her magic in a calm manner. One of the rings she wore with the effect of 'magic enhancement' shone blue-white.

''This is........!

　Just before releasing the magic.
　Sylvia feels the power of the 'Magic Enhancement' ring she received from Wraith.

　A powerful response that seems to rewrite the familiar sensation. If you put it into numbers, it's probably ten times more powerful than usual. Naturally, my cheeks twitched.

　-- This is no way for a mage to stand.

　It's not easy to produce more than ten times as much power, and this is the only time I felt like complaining a little bit.

　The more skilled mages will want this technique to the point where they can't help but want it. Although there is a limitation of using it only once, it can unleash tremendous firepower with ease.

　As if to prove the response Sylvia felt, water like a waterfall collided with the flames. After a moment of antagonism, the water immediately swallowed the flames and crushed them as it chewed and crushed them.

　When a dumb sound of a swoosh sounded, the flames in full view were gone. A perfect offset.

　Probably a magic of such power that a mage on the level of Lurimes could finally activate it with all his might. The person who released the magic, Sylvia, had a dry smile on her face.

''.............What?''

　Salamander's mouth dropped open in a poke, his voice leaking out as if he didn't know what it meant. Right in front of his eyes, his own magic was defeated from the front.

　The absolute confidence that had supported Salamander was already a shadow of what he had seen. The flames around him became a question mark, circling around the top of Salamander's head.

''Oh, you're so dexterous.''

　The place is stalemated, with Wraith, who speaks his swallowing thoughts to the others.

'Do you still want to do it?'

　Lurimes called out in a hard voice.
　Salamander snaps and erases the question mark and floods his entire body with flames. The amount of flames that looked pretty earlier.

　Without needing to put it into words, Salamander's will was clear.

''Cease and desist. You will regret provoking me.''

　Seriousness of the spirit.
　If you get hit by a decent attack, there will certainly be no bones left in your body.

　Before the salamander unleashes its blow. The 'Magic Enhancement' ring fitted on Lurimes' finger shines brightly.

''First move!''

　As planned, Silvia will offset the initial attack and Rulimes will be in the flow of attacking.

　It's obvious that the power of magic is overwhelmingly higher than Silvia, as Lurimes' basic ability is much higher than his. That's one of the reasons why Rulimes chose to be the attacker, though.

　Looking at the scene just now, one question came to mind.

　Could it possibly be overkill, he thought.

　It was the result of an emotion within Lurimes that could be called mercy. For just a second or so, he felt such pity for the spirit that would fall prey to the Wraith's magical tools.

　If Salamander hadn't shown the will to fight here, or maybe there was a future where he could have been saved. However, the flames were still growing.

　Rulimes' decision was also quick.

''Well, well.

　The magic of Lurimes, which has cut down on compassion, is unleashed without mercy.

　--The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it's a great waterfall, if you want to put it simply.

　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to find a way to get a job.

''What?　No, wait...!'

　Salamander, who had been preparing for the magic, shouted pathetically at the great waterfall that suddenly appeared like a mass of killing intent. At the earliest, there was not an ounce of dignity left in his demeanor.

　He hurriedly deployed his flames forward and tried to prevent the Great Fallen Wall from swirling around and closing in on him. However, the moment the flame barrier made contact with the Great Waterfall, it was drowned out as if nothing had happened.

''Noooooooooo!!!!''

　With a great shout, Salamander is swallowed by the Great Waterfall. As the Wraiths looked on, the great waterfall soon turned into a thin mist and disappeared. With the sound of dripping water, the mist was swept away by the wind.

　What happened to the salamander? The Wraiths observed with their eyes.

　However, there was no sign of the salamander in their clear vision.

''........Huh?''
No, sir.

　Not a single characteristic flashy flame remained.

　When I began to wonder if perhaps the entire existence had been erased. Suddenly Wraith caught a small shadow moving quietly in his vision.

　It had a red, thin body with what looked like a tail, and two short horns sprouting from either side of its head.

''That's........''

　Wraith tilted his head at the somewhat familiar figure.
　Searching through his memory, he arrived at the solution in less than the time he had just given.

　--I'm not sure what to do with it. The shape is very similar to that. ........or rather, it's almost the same.

"Hey, hey, you don't think...

　As soon as Lace guessed the identity of the creature that looks just like the doll, Sylvia seemed unable to resist and ran off. The creature tries to flee in a hurry, but the wish is not granted and it sits perfectly in Sylvia's hand.

''Ka, it's cute...!
"No, no!　Let go of me!

　After a boyish voice was uttered, it muffled in Sylvia's hands.

　In other words, the creature that was now easily captured by Sylvia.

''This is the Salamander...?
