Chat Group For Magicians

I opened my palm and increase the intensity of the heat in my flame magic. In terms of holding back like I used to do, those things are unknown to me now.

"Blasphemy! Are you trying to defy the church?!"

"Maybe if you guys respect humans, I might still have some neutral stance to all of you. But since you have proven yourself as worse than the worse trash there ever is who never respect human lives by robbing them of their freedom, then I don't need to hesitate to defy and destroy all of you."

The priest grits his teeth before he calms down. "Fine, if that is your wish, then we have no choice but to sent out divine retribution to you! Prepare to receive the punishment meant for blasphemers like you!"

He raises the staff he was carrying into the sky, causing the surrounding area to start getting cloudy. He closed his eyes and started chanting an unknown language. The others also started chanting along with him. I have read too many fantasy novels to know where this is going. So when he raises the staff into the sky, I also made my move using the 15 techniques of flames that are part of the inheritance of Suzaku.

"1st style, Dismemberment Flames"

SWISH!

A thin thread-like flame appeared in my left and right forefingers. They were so thin that only those who are observant enough can notice the thread flame in my forefingers. Controlling them is easy and like a whip, I throw them to the arms of the priest raising the staff into the sky.

During my first training, I was having trouble controlling them but now, I don't think it is a problem at all. The moment it was attached to his arm, I immediately controlled it and bind his arms with it. He still didn't notice it even when it was coiled in both arms. Seeing his lack of reaction, with a quick pull, the thread-like flames did their jobs easily.

The priest who was too busy chanting finally grinned and opened his eyes as he finished his chant. However, instead of a creepy smile, it was replaced with confusion and horror the moment he discovered that the two arms he was raising earlier while holding the staff are already on the ground, still tightly holding them.

Shock and terrifying experiences occurred to the believers as they saw the head priest they regard as one of the prominent users of holy blessings lose both of his arms without even noticing. The head priest is shaking, as he looked at both sides of his body missing those arms of his replaced with his white clothes tainted in blood.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

He screamed on top of his lungs, tears flowing from his bulge eyes and sweat flowing from his body. He is even drooling as he started spasming.

"IMPOSSIBLE IMPOSSIBLE IMPOSSIBLE IMPOSSIBLE IMPOSSIBLE IMPOSSIBLE IMPOSSIBLE! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!"

I am not too brutal with someone to let this guy suffer too much but the hate he accumulated is enough. With him holding several crimes, I am already set I won't let him go.

"2nd Form. Incineration Flames!"

Biting my thumb to bleed, I immediately channeled my mana to my dripping blood causing it to ignite and cause a flame. Controlling the flame, I form it into a circle and used it to stop the group from moving from their spot.

With a snap in my finger, the flames that have been showing to be weak and just stop these group from escaping is no longer under merciful stance. It started getting stronger and stronger. The believers who noticed these immediately decided to escape but they were not someone I can't let escape. If they don't see mercy to other people, then mercy is no longer an option for them.

I increased the intensity more and more, causing the flames to burn badly. Screams and shouts were heard within the circle of flames. It took around 3 minutes before they stopped screaming.

I took a little bit of safety assurance with it and continue burning them for 5 minutes. Since we are on a road that is rarely used due to the rumors of the people disappearing once they cross this road, we are in a relatively safe area. It took a bit before I extinguished the flames.

The bodies were now burned. Checking for anyone who managed to survive, I already concluded that no one managed to survive after the flames devour them. Since they are already corpses, I have to dispose of them by burning their remains to ashes. I increased the intensity of the flames similar to the heat of the incinerator and burned them all within 5 minutes. After getting rid of the guys, I went to see the two currently asleep.

They were suddenly tired earlier so I thought they collapsed from exhaustion but that doesn't seem to be the case with this.

"Kazuma, your companions have been shot with sleep darts which induced them to sleep. You are also shot once but you are immune since your body's mana cleansed it immediately before it can create a sort of troublesome effect to your body, which resulted in your survival," Blue revealed.

Huh, so that was the case. No wonder these guys are all sleeping deeply. Those religious fanatics in this world are all troublesome people..."

"It looks like they are connected to the disappearance lately in this road. Their church is just a little bit near this road so it is understandable that they are here and ambushing people. Just who are those people anyway?"

"According to the data I managed to compile according to the situations done here in this world, this religion is called the Order. They were known as part of the main government and they hold a tight spot in the power of the people. They usually enforce the law of their religion to everyone, which also in return will punish those who were deemed by their religion as blasphemy. Additional data also said that they use the people and experiments to deliver god's retribution to the people though it was revealed as an excuse to continue doing so."

The enemies we made just now has the possible connection between the missing people and their dumb reasons to cause trouble. Next stop, the Church of Order.
