I like them big, do you?-Chapter 19: Fire Release

In his frenzy state, Reylin unconsciously let out fireballs from both hands at the same time! Now, he learned how to do it as easily, and only the mana consumption stopped him. Fortunately, the house drowned in flames helped with MP regeneration.

Reylin joined his two hands and shot the two fireballs.

Those fireballs merged into one powerful one and splashed on Lord Hiba's fat body.

[-436 HP!]

That was the greatest damage Reylin did in his two days game career.

He smirked beneath his cover and threw himself into the flames.

"Weak..." Lord Hiba whispered after Reylin 'ran' away to the flames.

He had heard rumors about the Black Rose Order and their people.

Reylin's Black Robe that utterly hid his face fitted the rumors, but the strength behind his two fireballs was just too weak. He didn't dare to exclude the thought based on the first contact, but something suspicious was happening!

Lord Hiba glanced at the flames around him.

Even normal flames would take some time to spread, but the fire conjured by the unknown man was just faster. Many paintings, desks, and chairs were already lit up in flames despite the man shooting one fireball! 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

His office was no longer usable!

The man also used the flames through his hands which meant he wasn't an average mage.

'Where is he?' Lord Hiba asked himself.

After looking around, he inferred that Reylin threw himself to another room, and his goal was to spread more flames around the mansion. In any normal situation, Lord Hiba would have long since burst out with indignation.

The Black Robes just scared him too much.

But as his eyes peered into the corridor utterly swallowed by flames, Lord Hiba's fat hands fished out the rapier! He instantly blew those flames out by using his strongest attack, [The Noble Thrust!]

"Ha!" He shouted magnifically, and the powerful mana cleaned a small part of the mansion, leaving the burnt debris.

His eyes faintly expanded, and grief rippled in his old eyes... His rapier gently went down, and Lord Hiba lifelessly stood before this unbelievable despair...

Those magnificent paintings, the expensive soft carpet, and other grand items disappeared in less than thirty minutes!

From behind, the same hateful voice rang out, "Don't you have any measures to stop the flames? The Grand Purifying Formation or something similar? I can't believe this world is that similar to ours. You guys should do much more fantasy-like things. Ah, you must have wasted all your money to look noble. Haha. Magic to beautify your land won't save it. Am I right?"

"You despicable man! Are you from Black Rose?! Have you seen through me already?!" Lord Hiba howled while looking at Reylin.

Reylin just sneaked behind and checked the noble's desk. He found out the proof here, and with this, his mission was done.

However, Reylin wouldn't just disappear and accept the quest.

In that man's desk, he found a few expensive pieces of jewelry that would give him a little more advantage on his journey.

This whole mansion was like a treasure trove.

Just by following the quest, Reylin would get excellent bonuses. That alone was nice, but if he could get more, why would he stop himself? To say nothing of the quest, not telling him about the consequences of destroying the whole mansion!

Reylin would make sure to not get found, and that was by killing the noble.

"Less you know, the better," Reylin chuckled, not pitying this man even for a little.

Ding!

[Black Rose's Shadow Instructor's tips - Martial Arts.]

[Would you like to apply those tips now?]

[Yes.]

Reylin received Yuki's knowledge about martial arts, and the system activated it. In his eyes, various messages about body and mana appeared. To have some quiet time to read those messages, Reylin immersed himself in flames and shot some fireballs at Lord Hiba!

After a few minutes of reading, his eyes received another help from the system.

[Yuki's Black Rose Martial Arts.]

Black lines conjured themselves around Lord Hiba.

Those were visible just for Reylin, and he would be able to perform a few martial moves by following these. The catch was that Reylin couldn't just mindlessly follow these. His job was to adapt appropriately so that Lord Hiba wouldn't kill him with one thrust!

Each move wasn't just using limbs, either.

One attacked with the whole body! Reylin was also forced to add mana to each of his moves in this world.

That turned into a tricky challenge.

A challenge Reylin didn't take a step back from!

"Do you know about the dark matter experiment?" Reylin asked before pouncing at the noble.

That experiment was known to all nobles, and Lord Hiba nodded with his hand clenching the rapier harder.

He felt like nothing good would come out by speaking with this man.

That was right.

"I am going to perform it for you then. Don't become a monster, please." Reylin titled his head, giggled, and rushed forth.

He spoke those words undoubtedly to scare Lord Hiba. Though it looked too easy, Lord Hiba was always conscious of Reylin's status. He was so bothered by it that Lord Hiba didn't throw a tantrum after seeing his mansion destroyed.

This told Reylin enough, and he leveraged it.

The Dark Matter Experiment was even worse than death, and Black Rose was an organization that could perform it to this very day as they dealt with dirty work!

Lord Hiba connected the dots and what Reylin hinted at, losing his composure! "I am guilty! I lost! Don't come-"

Reylin didn't stop.

Those words eluded him as he wanted to use this stronger opponent to polish his skills. He had a whole gamut of moves painted on that fat noble, waiting for him to use all of them! How could he give up?

"Hahaha!" Reylin laughed and threw the first punch!

[69%]

That was his success rate!

That first punch followed Yuki's tips and mana flow!

Reylin didn't do well on it; hence it just received 69 percent! Still, he didn't stop and followed other lines, bopping, kicking, and punching to his heart's content!

[74%]

[87%]

[90%]

[90%]

At last, Reylin got a relatively high score. His peak became ninety percent, and his punches turned out to be quite strong despite his strength remaining at a low level! He was faster due to his epic class, Black Rose's Shadow, and his moves scared the noble witless.

But as Reylin became stronger, Lord Hiba regained some courage, and he thrust forth his noble rapier!

'Shit,' Reylin uttered while seeing the silver glitter beneath his chest!

Lord Hiba was benevolent enough to become a punching bag for this long! Any altruistic person would have turned evil at this point! He wasn't an exception either, and his rapier rushed forth to get freedom!

Reylin was at a loss, ready to accept the death.

However, the rapier didn't do any damage and just stopped on his chest.

'Snowflake? I see...' Reylin saw a snowflake, which meant that Yuki had helped him there! He didn't look around naively to thank her but focused on himself and his situation!

Why did his 'training' stop at 90%?

That was his question.

A question he answered by peeking at his flames.

'I have been missing my beloved,' He whispered inwardly, then clenched his left hand. His chest puffed, and he drew all his strength to right hand behind his back!

[You have learned the Fire Release.]

BOOM!

His right hand exploded with flames, all wild and loud!

The sound of those unruly but tamed flames brought Lord Hiba down onto his ass, and he stared at Reylin's hidden face with disbelief.

For a second, he could swear he saw the maddened eyes narrowing with satisfaction and relief.

"Ah..." And now, Lord Hiba heard the moan clearly!

"D-Don't kill me... Don't kill me... I just wanted to be... like a father... Noble... Respected... Cool... No... No!"

[100%]

"Hahahahaha!"
