I Can Assimilate Everything-Chapter 20: Verdant Flames!

"I'm on fire!"

The moment she noticed the green flames on her hand, the tongues of green flames around her head became even more intense as if responding to her emotions.

They roared to life as Achilles, who was right in front of her, felt the searing heat of these flames, and yet they seemed harmless to her as her skin and hair only shone with verdant luminosity!

Green flames.

Seeing them seething around her, Achilles felt a burst of joy as he knew Rose should have just awakened.

But of course, from her perspective, seeing the sudden burst of flames...

"Little Fatty, fire extinguisher! Fire extinguisher!"

She screamed out while backing away from him, almost as if she didn't want him to be hurt by these flames as well.

But Achilles did not move a step back as he only laughed with a bright smile.

"You..."

Rose instantly caught on.

Why would this guy who always looked at her with those types of eyes not be scrambling anxiously if she was ever in danger?

He didn't think she was in danger, so he stood still.

But she was still on fire.

If she was not in danger, and flames were dancing on her body that she didn't feel any scorching heat from...

...!

Her mouth opened in a cute O as she patted her head again.

She felt the flames dancing on her bead twirl around her fingers, going on to get bigger and bigger as they enveloped her whole hand!

"No way..."

She stared at this in disbelief as on her hands, when she imagined the flame could get bigger, it blazed higher.

When she wanted it to disappear, it disappeared!

"Little Fatty...I think I've...awakened." Rose stared at such a scene in a stupor before her eyes turned sharp.

Even though she saw the flames appear and disappear right in front of her body, she still didn't fully believe it!

Awakening at 24?

6 years after the Age of Awakening?

Many of those her age and older had long since given up hope for something like this as it was simply impossible!

A dream.

Almost too good to be true.

Her sharp eyes that now had gorgeous green pupils became even more intense as she spoke out blankly.

"Little Fatty, are you sure we really didn't die? This isn't some sort of simulation?"

She wanted to believe it.

She wanted it to be true!

In her daze, she heard Achilles' voice near her as he reached out to touch the flames on her head.

"Looks real enough to me...."

He pulled back his hand that showed a dark scorch mark, Rose instantly pulling back a few inches as if she had hurt him as he laughed it off and showed her his fingers that rapidly healed from the slight burn mark.

"Something like this won't do much to me. But Rose, this...changes a few things, does it not?"

...!

She awakened.

She was just telling him how she didn't want to hold him back as an Advanced Human! But now...

Rose became silent as she looked at her hands in contemplation.

She thought.

And she thought again.

After a few seconds, her eyes filled with determination as she met Achilles' eyeline.

"Are you really serious? Do you really want to waste your time on an older woman like me?"

She asked in such a low tone that her voice could barely be heard!

When Achilles heard this, he was baffled as he shook his head.

"I really need you to stop talking like that. Putting aside exactly who you are as a person, have you seen yourself?"

He pointed at her up and down.

As if he was observing something obvious!

And yet Rose squinted her eyes as she harrumphed and spoke jokingly.

"So what if I'm a little ugly? You have to bring my looks into this?"

"..."

She still had the energy to joke.

Achilles sighed as he walked up to her with a serious gaze.

And every step he took, she moved a step back.

Until her back hit the kitchen wall.

Her head couldn't help but turn down as she looked at the floor, her head bursting into gorgeous green flames as Achilles was right before her!

He turned her head up towards him.

He pushed her dark hair to the side as it began dancing with flames, expressing her nervousness and hectic emotions.

A burning pain was felt in Achilles' hand, and yet he withstood it without a word as he looked deeply into her eyes while telling her how he felt.

"In this world, I only want you."

...!

"I am not wasting my time. I am not playing around."

He made himself clear.

Undeniably clear!

As she looked deeply into his eyes, her own eyes began to water as she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms!

DUM!

She felt the beat of his heart.

She felt her own beating heart.

It was beating frantically like a rabbit as the verdant flames around her head spread over her body!

Achilles felt the woman in his arms as he felt like he had used up all of his courage, but had it truly paid off?

He was even more scared than when he faced a Nest of Black Spiders!

But she was truly in his arms as at this moment, he heard her voice that was a bit more than a whisper.

"Don't hurt me, Little Fatty. I can be very vindictive you know."

She wiped her tears as she spoke, looking at him with a serious glare after that as she was a head shorter than him.

He was going to tell her how he would never hurt her, but...

"Uhh..."

He blinked while looking at her small body.

Her hoodie and green jeans were burning along with the green flames that spread around her as parts of her radiant white skin were laid bare.

She looked at him in confusion before she gazed down, and when she saw her disintegrating clothes, her cheeks turned a shade of pink as she ran towards her room while yelling out.

"Little Fatty, find me clothes that won't burn please!"

Achilles looked at her disappearing figure while shaking his head, shouting out himself as he stepped on the burning shreds of clothes on the floor.

"Don't burn this place down!"

Even as he shouted this.

He had a wide smile on his face.

His heart felt heavy but so supremely free.

As if he had obtained the whole world in his hands!

At this moment, anything else that he received would just be extra!
