Philip looked at Natsuki and her tears kept pouring. She doesn't want to kill anyone in the vicinity of the mansion
Philip then slowly pulled his fingers that was pressed on Natsuki's forehead and a thick string of molten fire elongated from her forehead towards his fingers
Natsuki sharply inhaled and screamed that bursts of fire exploded from her mouth that launched towards Philip in point-blank range
Philip was fine because of his Sword Aura, even though the structure is slowly breaking and wavering. Philip needed to hurry up
The molten fire that Philip was pulling is the tempered fire impurities in her body. From her pressure points, Mana Spots, and marrow, the fire impurities were being pulled towards her head, which caused unbearable pain
The miniature Sun wobble in the backyard which caused the girls to panic because it suddenly became extremely unstable
Natsuki felt like it was years of pain as she kept screaming. Little by little, she felt lighter and lighter until Philip pulled most of the fire impurities in her body. He dropped the fire impurities on the ground for now
Natsuki then felt a different kind of pain. She couldn't help but crouch down and hold her arms together. She coughed out flaming blood and her eyes and body brightly glowed. She hovered in the air while spreading her arms and legs. Her entire clothes has already burned from the different kind of fire she was generating
The dormant Pureblood inside Philip's chest reacted. He heard a thumping sound and the flaming blood on the floor flew towards his mouth and into his body
Philip coughed and caused him a lot of pain because he literally ate fire. It wasn't hot though because his body is already cold, it only felt spicy and he could feel spikes poking his esophagus. His chest then became hot, different from the coldness surrounding his chest
Philip shrugged this feeling and ignored what just happened becauae there are things that he needs to tend to. He stretched out his arms and pointed to his left and right
Meanwhile, the miniature Sun became brighter and brighter that it almost became blinding. Jusine immediately manipulated the vector of light to lessen the brightness and also to not let anyone around the world notice a second Sun literally on the surface of the Earth
It was then that fire stretched out from the left and right hemisphere of the miniature Sun and grabbed Natsume and Natsu
Natsume was surprised and couldn't resist while Natsu tried to burn the fire with her plasma and she failed
The two of them entered the miniature Sun and instantly flew close Philip. He placed his left hand on Natsume's chest and his right hand around Natsu's neck
Immediately, Natsume felt pain from her chest and she clutched Philip's left arm. It was the same for Natsu, mainly because he seemed like he was choking her, she didn't mind it but it was annoying. She tried to pull his right arm away from her neck until she felt pain and coughed violently. Both of their clothes were slowly being burned, as well as Philip's, except for his jeans as it slowly tears
Philip pulled his left hand and fire impurities came out of Natsume's chest. She was screaming loudly that the fire around her is slowly flowing away from her. He also pulled his right hand and swiped across Natsu's throat to guide the fire impurities through her mouth. Natsu gagged and almost lost consciousness as her body was twitching. Her purple plasma tried to activate but it couldn't
Philip dropped the fire impurities on the ground and both Natsume and Natsu's body brightly glowed like Natsuki's. They hovered in the air while spreading their limbs apart
Philip closed his eyes and breathed deeply. The fire and air was filtered on his Sword Aura. He then opened his eyes and decided to unlock their potential
Philip raised his left hand in front of his face in a snapping gesture
An audible sound reverberated throughout the sphere of fire. The sphere of fire instantly disappeared and it was left with the glowing bodies of the three siblings hovering in the sky
Philip then heard a thumping sound and his vision was replaced by a sea of fire that is eternally burning. A being that is completely black with two upsidedown white triangles as teeth came out of the flames and looked at Philip. It extended its hand in a handshaking gesture but Philip was immediately pulled back into reality
'Presence of Fire and Flame!!'
He shrugged his shoulders because there is a more important matter at hand currently with the hovering bodies of the three siblings. He will go back to the Presence of Fire and Flame later during his free time because it includes the Fate Timeline
Everyone who was watching were surprised and confused, even Sai
In an instant, the body of the three sibling flew towards each other and a tornado of flame engufled them, along with Philip
The tornado became thin and silently exploded. It revealed a being that spread his hands outward while smiling delightfully. Sai frowned from this scene
"Fascinating!!! Amazing!!! Incredible!!!"
It was Fotiá, the Fire God. He showed up and Natsuki, Natsume, and Natsu were nowhere to be found
With Fotiá's arrival, Jude clutched the hilt of his Dominator Sword, Mathilda semi-transformed her arms in a cannon and a blade, Bea looked at Fotiá with no care, Camille frowned behind her sunglasses while still lying down on thr beach bench, Sai readied to unleash her Divine Energy, Mei'er looked with worry, and Justine face Fotiá with angry eyes
"It's true that I'll get to meet you someday!!!"
Fotiá's memory was altered from 5000 years ago and carried it to the present after Philip seeked Natsuki's origin. Philip frowned and felt troublesome
"Where's Natsuki, Natsume, and Natsu?!"
Justine shouted. With an unknown being suddenly showing up in her land, she assumed leadership and initiated a conversation
"Hm?"
Fotia was interested at Justine. He thought that she has a decent amount of courage to talk to him like that
"Who might you be?"
Fotiá asked
"I protect those sisters! Where did you take them?!"
"Oh!! The descendants of the mortal who asked for power from me! They're gone, now that I'm here!"
"What?!"
Justine became agitated, her eyes slowly turned red and her skin almost formed the red marks when Philip intervened
"Stop this nonsense and stop wasting my time"
He snapped his left fingers and an audible sound reverberated throughout the backyard. Everyone felt nothing except for Fotiá
"What-"
Fotiá couldn't talk nor move. He could only process what his eyes and ears perceive. He then panned his eyes towards a certain individual that caught his attention
It was Sai, who was smugly smiling at him. Fotiá's eyes shook and he became afraid
'A Goddess from another world?!'
Fotiá couldn't talk anymore as he felt extreme danger in front of him. He looked down and saw Philip raising his right hand with two fingers extended
The Dominator Sword on Jude's waist vibrated intensely. Jude knew what was happening and place his full focus on Philip and observed his Sword Potential
Philip concentrated and his Sword Aura disappeared and the atmosphere dropped. Everyone present felt this and observed Philip
"Sword Concept: Origin: Fusion Severer"
Philip swung his arm down and an invisible force flew towards Fotiá which split him into three parts
Fotiá did not process what just happened. He was split into three, even though he has a body of a God. He lost consciousness and his spirit flew somewhere else
Fotiá did not die, the Fotiá that is present is only his avatar that was formed from a pure bloodline and that was the three siblings when Philip pulled the fire impurities out of their bodies which made them a pure bloodline. Fotiá and his avatar should be the same in terms of everything, but there is always a difference between the original body to an avatar
Philip could have aimed towards Fotiá's true body with Sword Concept but that wasn't his goal. His goal was to retrieve the three siblings and that was to make the avatar diffuse since the three of them fused earlier
~~~
In a far away place, far from Earth, Fotiá had his eyes closed
He abruptly opened his eyes in surprise like he was awoken from a nightmare
"Are you okay, my liege?"
An attendee asked from his side
"I'm fine, thanks for asking"
Fotiá smiled after his vision was severed from a planet that he gave a Fire Gnosis baout 5000 years ago
"My liege, what are your orders?"
A general looking person knelt in front of Fotiá and asked with respect
"Onwards!"
Fotiá extended his right hand. He was sitting on a throne, being driven by a large metallic machine
"Onwards!!!"
The general commanded everyone and millions of soldiers under the machine marched forward towards a giant kingdom in a distance
The surroundings were magical, as if he was in a different world, and there were five moons in the sky despite there being two main stars in the sky that serves as the Sun
~~~
Fotiá's three body parts separated from each other and transformed back into Natsuki, Natsume, and Natsu. They weren't unconscious but their eyes are opened wide with surprise. Currently, the three of them had no clothes and completely naked. They immediately covered their body parts as they landed on the ground
Philip showed consideration and covered his eyes with his hand. Of course, he can't close the slits on his hands and he observed them respectfully. Philip's clothes was also burned, except for his jeans, and his toned muscular body was revealed
Every women, except for some people, that saw him flushed, especially the maids inside the mansion
A few minutes later, the maids came out of the mansjon and lend new clothes towards the Natsu siblings. They picked clothes that suited their character
They changed clothes and faced Philip
"Have you enjoyed looking at our bodies while it lasted?!"
Natsu asked while raising an eyebrow
"..."
Natsuki couldn't say anything after that whole ordeal
"I wouldn't mind if it's Philip"
Natsume said while swaying shyly. This earned her a bonk in the head by Natsu
"Anyways... What was that about?!"
Natsu grumpily asked Philip since she wasn't aware of what happened at all
Everyone else behind Philip went back to relaxing and they chose to observe Philip and the changes that the Natsu siblings underwent. The went back to relaxing because Philip solved the problem incredibly fast
Jude was stunned and examined Philip's Sword Potential from memory. He tried to understand what just happened
Meanwhile, Philip was picking up the fire impurities on the ground with his Mana. This is also a material that is the same as the Flame Tears as an attributed Mana Stone. These fire impurities should provide enough fire attribute for magic items
"I made your bloodlines pure and remove the fire impurities in your bodies. Your true potential has now been unlocked and you shouldn't encounter any problems, that inludes you, Natsu, as I did you a favor"
Natsuki and Natsume's faces light up. They can't wait to try their abilities
"Wait what? How did you do it? The Fire Tempering Crucible method should have unlocked my power!"
Natsu doubted Philip
"How I did it is a secret buy that method is incomplete and a failure. That method only tempers the fire impurities, which hinders your growth, in exchange for a slight upgrade to your abilities"
Natsu forwned and bit her lower lip. She just couldn't believe Philip but it seems that he know what he was talking about. He even knew about the fire impurities and the method
"So, what are the changes that happened to us?"
"In terms of Natsuki, due to the fire impurities, her Burst Flare ability will become Prominence. An ability that creates small to massive arcs of scorching flames that orbit around her body"
Natsuki's eyes glittered, almost as if she will tear up. It was her trauma and problem that she couldn't control her ability. Now, he would be able to thanks to Philip
"You can also fly due to your ability. Try it!"
Natsuki nodded and she immediately tried to fly. Since it was her first time of flight, she stumbled as she levitates through the air
Unlike the rest of the residents who could fly, like Jude can fly because of his Sword Energy, Mathilda can fly because she can form wings or jet boosters, Justine can fly because she can manipulate wind and gravity, Alucard could fly because of his vampire wings, and Sai can fly because she's a divine being, Natsuki can fly because of the innate ability of fire to float
Natsuki then activated her ability and several arcs of scorching flames that vary in sizes was generated from her body. What's more, as she moved her arms, the arcs of flames moves along with the motions of her arms and hands
This could only mean one thing, she is now able to control her ability at will
Tears flowed from her eyes due to happiness. Now, she would feel useful and powerful at the same time with her ability and not just becoming a baggage
Natsu looked at Natsuki with a slight smile and proudness in her eyes and Natsume was happy for her sister
"Philip, how about mine?"
Natsume asked cutely
"Yours... It's actually insane..."
"Huh?"
Philip was actually stunned after seeing Natsume's origin through Natsuki's origin. There was a reason her downgraded ability is Flame Crawler that doesn't look like a flame at all. It was because the flame couldn't be generated at all and the crawling object is a dead fire
Natsume titled her head in curiosity. If Philip said her ability is insane, then her ability is very powerful
"Your ability has become Fire Nullification"
"!!!"
"..."
Everyone that heard Philip couldn't believe their ears. They were either shocked, in disbelief, or surprised
An ability that can nullify fire?
It was unheard of since four years ago, except for Philip's Fate Control
Everyone became interested and curious, especially Natsu, because Natsume is her little sister
"Try it on Natsuki. You can nullify her fire and you can weaken any flames"
The reason Philip would only identify that Natsume can nullify only fire and not including flame is because fire and flame are two completely different concepts
Fire is a physical form that can materialize from a combustible object, or in this case, through creation from Mana. On the other hand, Flame is a byproduct of Fire. Without a fire, flame won't exist and flame can be malleable and formed. So, if a Fire God exists, there should be a Flame God somewhere in the universe
In this case, Natsume could nullify Natsuki's fire and make her powerless but her flames will linger for a few second before disappearing. This can only mean that Natsume is vulnerable to flame attacks which she can only weaken, unlike fire where she can immediately nullify it and make it disappear
Natsume then extended her hand at Natsuki and her Prominence ability is immediately nullified, rendering her useless, but her prominence flares stayed for a while before shrinking back to her body
Natsuki stayed on the air though, even though her flight has something to do with fire. Her flight might be absolute or just natural and can't be nullified
With this, Natsume should be on par with a Fire God since Fotiá can also nullify fires with his power. It will just come down into strength, endurance, experience, and control, which Natsume doesn't have because she's new to her ability
"Thank you so much!!"
Natsume shouted while running towards Philip. She jumped and hugged Philip tightly in gratitude. She slightly teared up which she quickly wiped away
Even though Natsume's ability is only for support or tactical offense, it was enough for her to feel useful in certain situations and not just having a completely useless flame that's crawling around her arms
Of course, Philip hugged her back with one hand to express welcome. It was needed and he felt returning back her feeling
Natsu waited for the two to stop being sweet after she rolled her eyes. She crossed her arms and waited patiently
In truth, she was dying to know what happened to her ability. Her impression of Philip drastically changed after that whole ordeal. Although he seemed to have choked her earlier, she didn't mind because she may be into that. She frowned at the thought that she wanted to be choked again and shook her head to remove the thoughts
"Natsu..."
Philip called for her
"Your ability is the most dangerous, since your potential has been unlocked and you have the same name as the very first ancient predecessor of the Natsu Clan"
Natsu was intrigued, as well as everyone around them
"In this current day and age, names, existences, and concepts matter. If you have the same name as your origin predecessor, then it means something big, like you have more power than the other or you're closer to the Power of Fire or the Fire Gnosis"
Natsu has finally raised her eyebrow, entranced from Philip's explanations of power
"Be careful of your ability, once you activate it, it might kill everyone around here or melt the buildings and burn the plants in an instant. Of course, if you manage to accidentally activate it, you always have Natsume to nullify your ability since it's also a fire"
"I will be careful..."
"Your ability is Corona Radiation... You literally have the power of the Sun's Corona in your hands. You can burn the world if you want to, with the help of Natsuki"
Everyone widened their eyes. If what Philip said was true when Natsu activated her ability, then it would be a disaster. But they couldn't gauge accurately and a part of everyone wanted to test it
'God damn it!'
Philip knew what they where thinking with his Body Language Translator. They were placing themselves in danger since they are ignorant of Natsu's ability
"I see... What compensation would you like for granting me this power?"
Natsu offered Philip a compensation because she is genuinely grateful to him for unlocking her true potential
"Hm... I have one in mind"
"Name it"
"Stay here in the mansion with your family..." Philip pointed at Natsuki and Natsume. "And leave the Natsu Clan"
"Why?"
"The Natsu Clan is doomed to fall. They will be destroyed and implode. Before that happens, I will eradicate them, because if I don't, the world will come to an end"
Philip was honest. Natsu closed her eyes and thought deeply while everyone had a curious look on their faces while Natsuki and Natsume were only worried, worried that Natsu would refuse the offer and leave them once again
After a few minutes, Natsu replied
"I'll take the offer. I don't have any true family members there, you're free to kill them all. I'd rather choose to live with my true family here and, maybe, make another family"
Natsu looked around towards the rest of the residents of the mansion. They seem to treat each other as family in the mansion, why would she be an exception?
"That's good"
Philip closed his eyes and slightly smiled. He opened one eye and looked at Natsu
"You look like you want to test your ability badly"
Natsu did not respond. She only looked at Philip with expressionless face. But her body language says otherwise
"And you all are curious to see it, since she'll be staying here?"
Philip spoke toward Justine and the others to which they nodded. Only Sai was disinterested because she already knows the full extent of Natsu's ability
"Alright... Sai, can you please cover everything using your Divine Protection within a one kilometer radius of yourself?"
"Fine"
Sai flicked her finger and a faint violet light enveloped everything with a thin sheet of Divine Protection in a one kilometer radius
"Is it that powerful?"
Justine couldn't help but ask
"You'll be surprised"
Philip kept the secret hidden
"You can start, Natsu"
Natsu nodded and she looked at the sky. She tried to fly up to find out if she can do it. As expected, she managed to fly. It was because her ability is powerful enough to allow her to fly
She then activated her ability on her arms, which she originally was doing with Plasma Combustion, and her arms released an eerie sound and heat that immediately doused the area in extreme heat and pressure
