Infinite Gacha:  Ch 2 - Ep28 Battle on the 1st floor - part 3

 

 

"What the hell?　What the hell are those monsters! Level 7777!　That's impossible!　 This is no mere dragon hunt!"

 

"Don't know, I don't know!　Anyway, we have to get out of here and inform our country about this! There are two monsters stronger than the Dragon!"

 

"That, that's right!　We have to run and inform our country! So this isn't like running away before the enemy! Their level is higher than ours, but luckily they can't keep up with our speed!"

 

"Let's just run all the way to the exit!"

 

Nia and Kia run inside the giant tower at full speed to escape from Ice Heat and Mera.

They don't know where the exit is, but they move to the wall first.

If they move along the wall, they will find the exit eventually.

 

The two of them are scared to death of the monsters that might come after them. Those monsters could tear off their heads with their own hands and would not feel anything more than a gentle breeze when directly hit by Wind cutter.

They look back and check behind them, but there is no sign of anyone chasing them.

 

They run as fast as they can, clinging to the faint hope that they can escape to the exit.

They didn't know that Ice Heat and Mera could easily catch up to them with their speed. They also don't know that the exit is already closed, and they can't get out with their power level.

 

"Nia, that's the wall!"

 

"Kia, let's keep moving along the wall and look for the exit!"

 

"Roger that! ......!?　Wait a minute, Nia. Something's wrong......."

 

Kia was the first to notice.

At first, Nia is confused by Kia's words but soon realizes that something is wrong.

 

"The air is getting hotter, isn't it?"

 

At first, they thought the heat was caused by moving their bodies at full speed to escape from Ice Heat and Mera. But they quickly realized that's not the cause.

 

They can feel the temperature on their skin. The air is getting hotter and hotter rapidly.

At first, it feels like midsummer sunshine, but it soon feels like being directly burnt by fire.

As the temperature rises, the two of them break out in cold and greasy sweats.

 

"Are they crazy?!　Those monstrous humans! Did they just pull out the source of the magma inside the giant tower?"

 

"Nia!　This is no time to panic! We'll burn to death if we stay here!　We need to take a defensive position right away!"

 

The temperature is rising at a very high speed. While Nia is shouting unreasonably and Kia is warning him to take a defense position.

The temperature is already at a level where a normal person's throat would burn out from just breathing.

The fact that the two of them can still endure it is thanks to their high level (around 1800).

Nia nods to Kia's words and immediately takes a defensive position.

There is no more time to look for the exit.

 

"Magic power, manifest yourself, create a glacier and become a wall between my enemies and me!　Ice Wall!"

 

Nia and Kia chant the tactical-class "Ice Wall" together.

After the chanting, a huge ice wall appears in front of the two of them, shielding them from the heatwave.

 

Nia and Kia are elves who specialize in wind magic.

It is possible to cast a spell if they are using beginner battle-class magic. But when using tactical-class magic, chanting is required.

 

Finally, the two can take a breath when the heatwave that burns their skin is blocked by the ice wall. But that doesn't last long...

 

"Ni, Nia!　The ice!　The Ice Wall is melting!"

 

"The temperature's still rising! What the hell are those monster humans doing? Stop messing with us!"

 

"Nia!　We can complain about it later. We need to rebuild the ice wall!"

 

As Kia pointed out, the "Ice Wall" created by the magic of the two of them is melting because of the heat. In fact, it's already starting to evaporate.

 

They can feel the heat even though they are inside the ice wall.

 

"Magic power, manifest yourself, create a glacier and become a wall between my enemies and me!　Ice Wall!"

 

Nia and Kia chant "Ice Wall" again, but they can feel the heat again within a minute.

 

"No! No! No!　Why should we have to go through this?"

 

"Kia!　Quick, chant!　The fire, the heat, it's coming!"

 

When Kia screams in frustration, Nia calms him down and urges him to keep chanting.

 

"Magic power, manifest yourself, create a glacier and become a wall between my enemies and me!　Ice Wall!"

 

They desperately chant the Ice Wall.

But the next one doesn't even last a minute.

 

"Magic power, manifest yourself, create a glacier and become a wall between my enemies and me!---"

 

"Magic power, manifest yourself, create a glacier ---"

 

"Magic power---"

 

In the end, their efforts were in vain.

When they realize that their magic power was drained, the hellish fires burn their bodies from head to toe.

 

The 1st floor of the Giant Tower was filled with flames.

 

☆　☆　☆

 

"Kekekeke! I found them, right here, here. Well, looks like they're still alive."

 

 Mera walks around the 1st floor of the Giant Tower, which is still filled with heat. She found the Nia-Kia brothers who are blackened from head to toe.

Ice Heat follows from behind, her right eye and hair flickering with a red-hot flame that envelops her twin-tailed hair.

She looks at the collapsed Nia-Kia brothers with the awkward gesture of one who just made a mistake.

 

"They, they're still alive, aren't they? They're not dead, right?"

 

Mera turns her gaze to Ice Heat in amazement.

 

The armor and clothes worn by the Nia-Kia brothers had been burned off. Their hair, skin, limbs, and all other parts of their bodies were burned.

Their entire bodies had been burned so badly that it is a miracle they are still alive.

Their chest is still moving slightly, indicating that they are breathing.

 

"Kekekekekeke! Don't worry, they're still breathing....... but, maybe you've gone too far."

 

"Kekekeke!　Thanks to Elly-sama's magic that's keeping them alive. If it weren't for that magic spell, wouldn't they have died before we could extract any information from them? This is not a big failure."

 

"Ahhhh! I never thought they'd be this weak! It's too far below my expectation!"

 

To be precise, it breaks temporarily when a certain amount of force is applied to it. Still, Elly's Magic will repair it immediately. Even the burned parts are gradually repaired by her magic, and the original white color is restored.

 

The strict and serious Ice Heat is puzzled by the Nia-Kia brothers' weakness.

 

"First of all, just by having Ifrit in my right hand and putting a little bit of energy, I didn't expect them to be injured this badly! I didn't even attack with my left hand...... Why did Elly-sama ask me to test my power? They are too weak. It was not even an experiment!"

 

"Kekeke! Elly-sama told us to do an experiment, but in my opinion, it's the right thing to do. If you are using your power on the surface world instead of inside the Giant Tower without knowing how strong your power is, then......"

 

"Ugh....."

 

Imagining such a scenario, Ice Heat calmed down as if water had been splashed on her head.

After making sure that her friend had regained her composure, Mera turned to the Nia-Kia brothers.

 

"Kekekeke! We have to be careful when we wield our power on the ground. Now, we must follow our Lord's instruction."

 

"According to our beloved Lord and Master, to whom we devote our absolute loyalty.

"It seems that your hobby is to torture and kill humans, right?　

Our master is very upset with you."

 

"He, he...."

 

"....... elp, us......"

 

Nia and Kia's entire bodies are burned and partially charred. They leak a faint voice, "Help us".

Mera doesn't care and continues to talk.

 

"I can't kill you right away to extract information from you, but I have been ordered to make you suffer and break your heart. So I'm going to break your hearts now, okay? I'm going to use one of my best ones. You should be grateful because I rarely show it to anyone."

 

From underneath Mera's long skirt, octopuses, squid-like legs, centipedes, tentacles, and various long things that can make anyone lose their mind just by looking at them begin to crawl out ?.

Even Ice Heat turned her eyes away in disgust.

Those things start to gather around Nia and Kia.

 

Nia and Kia shed tears and begs for help with all their might.

 

"He, help ......"

 

"Help us......"

 

"Kekekekeke!　I can't help you, right? What have you done to those humans who said, "Help me"? You continue to laugh and kill humans who beg for mercy just for fun, right?...... It's my Lord's order. You guys cannot be forgiven. As my Lord commanded, you should repent for your sins, suffer, and go crazy. You cannot escape until we get the information out of you. You must continue to beg for my Lord's forgiveness."

 

The two of them are covered by various things and they are being dragged towards the bottom of Mera's long skirt.

Nia and Kia scream with the last of their energy.

 

"No! I don't want to! NOOOOO! Help, help me, HELP MEEEEE! GAAi, iAAAAAH!"

 

"Kekekekekekekekeke!"

 

The battle on the 1st floor of the Giant Tower came to an end with desperate screams and crazy laughter.
