Chapter 36: Let’s Break It

“It’s hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!!”

Douglas, engulfed by the flame tornado, was flailing around. I wondered why he didn’t use water magic to put out the flames himself, but since he made no attempt to extinguish the fire, I decided it was too dangerous and hit him with my water magic, [Water Ball], to put out the flames. Then, I also used my healing magic to heal him.

Well, maybe he couldn’t use water magic in the first place.

“Hey, why didn’t you use water magic to extinguish the fire? Are you stupid? Do you want to die? If you want to die, just say so, and I’ll kill you.”

“What the hell are you talking about!? I specialize in fire magic, so there’s no way I can handle water magic, the opposite attribute!”

“No, I used the same fire magic as you and put out the flames with water magic. Instead of making such a stupid excuse, you should just say you can’t use water magic properly. It’s your stupid pride making you want to appear big, and that’s why you’re in this situation. How can you be so lame? I don’t understand.”

Indeed, Douglas has the strength to back up his pride. In this world, it’s common for people to focus on developing the magic types they excel at and learning secondary attributes that complement their main ones. Douglas’ argument is valid, and it’s a fact that he has the ability to match his high pride. 

However, all of this is irrelevant as long as I exist, for I have the power to tear it all down. 

Nonetheless, I’m not the type to go out of my way to pick fights. I’m indifferent to ants walking on the ground, but if they bite me, I’ll swat them away.

And in Douglas’ case, his existence has become irritating at a level that has risen from ants to mosquitoes. That’s why I’m going to crush him here and now, but if he wants to hold a grudge, he should blame his own actions so far.

“You, stop right there! There’s no way you can do that! You must be using some underhanded means! This duel is invalid, completely invalid!”

“To begin with, why are you attacking me even though I’m fighting barehanded without using any wands or swords? Even if I were to use some magical tool, not using a wand already puts me at a disadvantage. And unlike me, you’re using a magic sword, so how is that not cowardly? Oh well, I understand now. I won’t use magic or weapons. With just my body, I can easily defeat you. Let’s end this quickly. First, I’ll punch that infuriating face of yours and be done with it. So brace yourself, Douglas.”
