“Flame peace isn’t something only you can do.”
“It’s true there’s no law saying only we can do it.”
- ?
Peace is not a human privilege.
All intelligent life-forms have the right to do peace in order to become happy.
Therefore, there was nothing particularly strange about the mutants doing peace.
“It’s nice to see the mutants doing peace too. Seed-nim, would you like to do peace with me later?”
- Wow fck, Yuyeon-nim is offering a joint peace?
- Got it, I’ll be jealous
- If you want me to be jealous, I gotta do it
- (I’ll die... swordsman sticker)
“I have no intention of facing you in a head-on peace duel.”
“Hiiing.”
- ? Did he seriously refuse?
- This lucky bastard is rejecting Yuyeon-nim’s offer?
- (I will kill you... swordsman sticker)
- What do you want me to do, guys?
- (Please die, Guardian sticker)
For now, I decided to watch the situation.
If I carelessly intervened, I might end up interfering with the wizards’ research.
In order to maintain my identity on this battlefield where peace ran rampant, I needed to possess firm peace power, so I continued maintaining my maid elegance double peace.
“Tower of Trials, 15th Floor - Purification War”
“The wizards and the mutants have come to harbor intense flames. Do not be pushed back in a battle of firepower.”
“Main Objective: Drive out the mutants and secure a path to Omega Seed’s nest.”
Oh. Was this the influence of flame peace spreading through this world?
As if the butterfly effect had taken hold, a mention related to flames appeared in the trial’s plot.
Having been pushed back once, Riette-nim immediately reinforced her firepower with double flame peace and shouted.
“A genius strategy has come to mind!”
“What is it?!”
“Fight fire with fire!!!”
“You’re a genius!!”
“Burn them all down!!!”
“If a wizard of Ragnabel loses in a firepower battle, they should bite their tongue and die!!!”
Flame peace made of magic and flame peace made of sorcery collided.
As the different flame peaces clashed, explosive thermal expansion occurred, and the atmosphere screamed.
Oh dear. Star-nim. Are you all right?
No answer came back. I suppose they died.
- Is Yuyeon-nim just watching again this time?
- Let’s establish discipline with a maid cosmic triple flame tornado peace
- Ha... should I do peace?
Here, where peace and peace collide, the one with stronger peace power wins.
Naturally. v cannot defeat V.
That is the way of the world.
At least in a true firepower battle made of fire against fire, softness cannot overcome strength.
“The wizards are being pushed back.”
- Gyaaak gyaaak Yuyeon-nim please give peace support
- (Hiiing... wizard sticker)
- (I’m dead... wizard sticker)
- No, I’ll handle it, wait
- (Then die... wizard sticker)
As expected, beating quadruple peace with double peace was a bit unreasonable.
Not all of the wizards could do double peace either.
“The Legion has already won.”
“You certainly have tremendous peace power.”
As time passed, the wizards could only grow increasingly disadvantaged in the peace war.
The decrease in firepower caused by handling barriers and flame peace at the same time.
The mana circles operating at their limit because they could not afford to be pushed back even for a single moment.
No matter how efficiently they handled mana, they were no match in a battle of endurance.
The mutants, meanwhile, were not casting barriers and were enduring the flames with pure physical ability.
Even while casting flame peace at the cost of life force, their vitality and regenerative power were so outstanding that they pushed forward without caring about efficiency.
Above all, perhaps they had evolved so that they no longer felt pain, because even within the flames, they maintained unwavering peace power.
Then shall I adjust the balance of power a bit?
First, I cheered on the wizards and filled their mana.
“Fighting. Fighting.”
“Ooh...! My mana is recovering!”
“The God of Peace is protecting us!!!”
- (This isn’t the end! wizard sticker)
- (Let’s burn them! wizard sticker)
- What, why is my mana filling up too?
- You hurry up and research flame peace too
- Yuyeon-nim, you don’t need to fill my aura too
- My divine power is recovering too...
As long as I was here, the wizards would not be pushed back due to a lack of mana.
“Inefficient and irrational. To think you would waste your energy like that instead of participating directly.”
“Worrying about things like that isn’t flexible.”
The wizards, who had been maintaining the front line while recovering mana in shifts, immediately entered wasteful mode.
Because they had experienced the power of my cheering several times, they knew they could spend mana as much as they wanted.
“If you thought you could gain the upper hand just because you can do quadruple peace, you were mistaken.”
“We should take this opportunity to show you as well. A joint peace that can only be done when at least three Seventh Circle wizards join forces.”
“What’s that?”
Eldrion-nim, Seria-nim, and Riette-nim gathered their hands and drew a star.
In other words, it was a wizard joint star peace.
“Try enduring this too!!!!!”
Fwoooooosh-!!!
The fire-attribute star peace was fired in the form of a beam and burned the mutants away.
The moment the mutants were pushed back by the overwhelming firepower and an opening appeared, the wizards who had briefly collapsed sprang to their feet.
“Why are only you doing it?”
“Don’t fucking monopolize such a horny magic!!!!!”
“There was a reason I didn’t share this. Isn’t the impact greater when you see it in person rather than having the theory explained?”
“If you need an explanation of how to do it, I shall provide one.”
“Absolutely do not explain.”
“We’ll figure it out ourselves.”
The second batter was the wizards of Ragnabel.
“I think it’ll work if we do it like this.”
“If we fail, won’t we die?”
“What an utterly flimsy and idiotic theory.”
“Let’s do it immediately.”
“Peekkya-hoo!!!”
And so, the joint star peace was copied, and just as the wizards’ victory began to solidify.
The mutants also began imitating star peace.
“The Legion has adapted. Star peace is not something only you can do either.”
“Fighting. Fighting. Wizards and mutants alike, fighting.”
“Why?”
“It’s good to develop, isn’t it?”
“I agree with that.”
How could this be so constructive?
The balance of this battlefield, which had evolved all the way into a star peace battle, once again became taut.
“Han Yuyeon. Give up. Engaging in a war of attrition against me, who can absorb the power of the stars, is not wise.”
“Why?”
“Unless your power is infinite, this kind of war of attrition will leave nothing behind.”
“I see. Fighting. Fighting.”
“Why do you not give up?”
“Because if that is the reason I have to give up, then I don’t need to give up.”
My power is infinite.
As long as I have a maid’s elegance, something like a war of attrition cannot harm me in the slightest.
“Foolish.”
“It’s flexible.”
As I continued cheering and watching, I could see the wizards gradually being pushed back.
Compared to the mutants, their slower casting speed and insufficient numbers ultimately created gaps in their firepower.
“We’re being pushed back! Riette’s hair is on fire!”
“Hoooeeeng!!!”
“We’re being pushed back here too!”
“The right side has completely collapsed!”
Should I help them directly after all? As I was measuring the timing of my participation, the wizards of Drakeln charged forward.
The sight of them running recklessly, even giving up on casting barriers, was far too reckless.
“We’ve realized why we’re being pushed back!!!”
“It’s because we’re casting barriers and flame peace together, so we’re losing in firepower!!”
“Those bastards are feeling flame peace with their entire bodies, so of course there’s a difference in their speed of development!!!”
- Excuse me...?
“They’ve lost their minds.”
I have to join in.
If I leave them like this, the wizards of Drakeln will burn to death as they are.
When I revealed myself, the wizards who spotted me shouted at the top of their lungs.
“Yuyeon-nim!!! Please trust us as much as we trust you, Yuyeon-nim!!!”
“?”
“We will somehow gain enlightenment and drive out those mutant bastards!!!”
“???”
Fwoooosh-!
The mutants’ flame peace swallowed the wizards.
What on earth is this. If this happens, they really will die.
As I continuously healed them with healing arts so they wouldn’t die, I saw the wizards laughing within the blazing flames.
“Kk-hik... hik...!”
“Uhakak...!”
- These wizards are seriously insane bastards
- (You can do it, wizard sticker)
Even I, flexible as I am, became frightened.
I heard that among the pains humans can feel, burning pain is the most agonizing.
The sight of the wizards calmly laughing while striking double peace within the flames was truly grotesque.
“To not lose one’s reason even in the midst of burning pain... and to be able to infer and calculate is what makes a wizard...!”
- What the fuck, no it isn’t
“Aaah...! It’s coming...! Enlightenment is coming...!”
- Why is it coming???
- Seriously...?
The flames were seized and absorbed into the wizards’ double peace.
In the end, they had reached a realm where they absorbed the opponent’s flame peace and turned it against them.
The wizards of the other Magic Towers, who had watched this, also hurriedly turned off their barriers and ran forward.
“Why are only you doing it?”
“We are doing it immediately too.”
“To think the method of gaining enlightenment was this close!!!”
“Now is the time to put the Ravina spirit into practice!!!”
- Even Raaga wouldn’t do this...
- I feel like they would
Within the blazing flames, the wizards enjoyed the burning pain and gained enlightenment one by one.
I didn’t want to see the wizards hurt, but seeing as the wizards were enjoying it, there was no way for me to stop them.
The wizards, who had raised their realm of peace in an instant, finally drove out the mutants.
“Your peace has no emotion...”
“I thought you were worthy opponents... Good grief...”
Leaving only the last mutant behind, they looked at each other with disappointed expressions.
“Shall we do round two among ourselves?”
“Good. It’s about time we held an interim check on which Magic Tower has achieved the most in flame peace.”
“Time to sort out the hierarchy.”
“Come at us. We’ll burn you all.”
With faces steeped in madness, they raised their flame double peaces.
Unable to tell whether I should stop this or not, I could only tremble and do double peace.
As I watched while healing the wizards, who were casting flame peace at one another, Seed-nim’s voice came through.
“Han Yuyeon. Are you truly going to leave my treatment in the hands of people like that?”
“Yes.”
“......”
Click— My connection with Seed-nim was cut off again.
After quickly reconnecting, I said,
“Seed-nim. If you don’t want to be pushed back next time, shouldn’t you watch this flame peace war?”
“How did you break through my mental barrier and connect to me?”
“? There was a mental barrier?”
“......”
“I’m sorry. Should I cut it off now? I just thought it would be good for you to watch too, Seed-nim.”
Even though the connection remained, Seed-nim’s voice was no longer heard.
